Question : When a number is divided by 45, the remainder is 21. What will be the remainder when the number is divided by 15?
Option 1: 6
Option 2: 5
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 0
Correct Answer: 6
Solution : Let the quotient when the number is divided by 45 be $x$. Then, the number should be 45$x$ + 21 = (15 × 3$x$) + 21 Let 3$x$ = P. So, 45$x$ + 21 = 15P + 21 So, it is clear that 15P is
Question : Directions: In this question, some equations are solved on the same basis as a certain system. On the same basis, find out the correct answer out of the four alternatives for the unsolved equation. If 17 + 17 = 2895, 19 + 19 = 3615, then 23 + 23 = ?
Option 1: 5765
Option 2: 5295
Option 3: 2565
Option 4: 4005
Correct Answer: 5295
Solution : Given: 17 + 17 = 2895; 19 + 19 = 3615
Like, 17 + 17 = 2895→172 = 289 Now, on adding 5 at the unit place the result will be 2895. And, 19 + 19 = 3615→192 = 361 Now, on adding
Question : Directions: In the question, a sentence is given with a blank that is to be filled in with an appropriate word. Four alternatives are suggested for each question. Choose the correct alternative out of the four. Mangoes do not ___ all at the same time. Hence, they are not plucked on the same day.
Option 1: germinate
Option 2: ripen
Option 3: grow
Option 4: age
Correct Answer: ripen
Solution : The second option is correct as 'ripen' means to become mature and is ready to be plucked, which contextually fits in the sentence, while plucking of mangoes doesn't go contextually well with other options namely 'germinate', 'age' and 'grow'.
Therefore, the correct statement should
Question : Directions: A sentence or a part of the sentence is printed in bold. Below are alternatives to the bold part that may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, choose "No Improvement".
It also indicates the caveats and failure modes in the model need to be improved before been used independently.
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
In passive constructions, the present continuous tense often employs being, followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this context, being used independently is the appropriate structure.
So, the correct sentence is: It also indicates
Question : 14 persons can build a house in 60 days. How long will it take 30 people to build your house, provided that they all work at the same rate?
Option 1: 28 days
Option 2: 30 days
Option 3: 32 days
Option 4: 56 days
Correct Answer: 28 days
Solution : Total work = 14 × 60 = 840 units. Number of days required for 30 people = $\frac{840}{30} = 28$ days. Hence, the correct answer is 28 days.
Question : What is the value of $14^{3}+16^{3}+18^{3}+...+30^{3}$?
Option 1: 134576
Option 2: 120212
Option 3: 115624
Option 4: 111672
Correct Answer: 111672
Solution : Given: $14^{3}+16^{3}+18^{3}+.....+30^{3}$ $= 2^{3}\times7^{3}+2^{3}\times8^{3}+2^{3}\times9^{3}+.....+2^{3}\times15^{3}$ $= 2^{3}(7^{3}+8^{3}+9^{3}+.....+15^{3})$ $= 2^{3}[(1^{3}+2^{3}+3^{3}+4^{3}+....+15^{3})-(1^{3}+2^{3}+3^{3}+4^{3}+5^{3}+6^{3})]$ The sum of cubes of $n$ natural numbers$ =\left[\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\right]^2$ For $n = 6$, we have $1^{3}+2^{3}+3^{3}+4^{3}+5^{3}+6^{3}=\left[\frac{6(6+1)}{2}\right]^2 = \left[\frac{42}{2}\right]^2 = (21)^{2} =$ 441 For $n = 15$, we have $1^{3}+2^{3}+3^{3}+4^{3}+....+15^{3}=\left[\frac{15(15+1)}{2}\right]^2 = \left[\frac{240}{2}\right]^2 = (120)^{2} =$ 14400 Now, $2^{3}[(1^{3}+2^{3}+3^{3}+4^{3}+....+15^{3})-(1^{3}+2^{3}+3^{3}+4^{3}+5^{3}+6^{3})]$
Question : The typical natural vegetation above 3600 metres on the Himalaya is
Option 1: Alpine grassland
Option 2: alpine forests
Option 3: coniferous forests
Option 4: subtropical pine forests
Correct Answer: Alpine grassland
Solution : The Correct Answer is- Alpine grassland
Alpine grassland dominates the Himalayan mountains' typical natural vegetation above 3600 meters. Silver fur, pine birch, and other important trees are listed. A natural alpine grassland at a high elevation, the Alpine-steppe is a subregion of the Montane
Question : If $p^2+q^2=7pq$, then the value of $\frac{p}{q}+\frac{q}{p}$ is equal to:
Option 1: 9
Option 3: 7
Option 4: 3
Correct Answer: 7
Solution : Given: $p^2+q^2=7pq$ Divide the above equation by $pq$ on both sides, we get, ⇒ $\frac{p^2+q^2}{pq}=\frac{7pq}{pq}$ ⇒ $\frac{p}{q}+\frac{q}{p}=7$ Hence, the correct answer is 7.

Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – operations on 13, such as adding/subtracting/multiplying, etc., to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
