Question : Which force causes the trade winds of the southern hemisphere to start blowing from southwest to northeast in India after crossing the equator?
Option 1: Gravitational force
Option 2: Magnetic force
Option 3: Centrifugal force
Option 4: Coriolis force

Question : Directions: Which number can replace the question mark (?) in the following series? 4, 7, 13, 22, ?, 49, 67
Option 1: 33
Option 2: 30
Option 3: 34
Option 4: 35
Correct Answer: 34
Solution : Given: 4, 7, 13, 22, ?, 49, 67
Here, each number is increased by a multiple of 3. 4 + 3 = 7; 7 + 6 = 13; 13 + 9 = 22; 22 + 12 = 34; 34 + 15 = 49; 49 +
Question : Directions: In the following question, a series is given, with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series. Z, X, V, T, R, ?, N
Option 1: P
Option 2: Q
Option 3: S
Option 4: O
Correct Answer: P
Solution : Given: Z, X, V, T, R, ?, N
Subtract two from the positional value of each letter to get the next term. Z – 2 = X; X – 2 = V; V – 2 = T; T – 2 = R; R – 2
Question : If $\sin A=\frac{2}{5}$, where $A$ is an acute angle, what is the value of $\frac{5 \sin A+2 \operatorname{cosec} A}{\sqrt{21} \sec A}$?
Option 1: $\frac{5}{4}$
Option 2: $\frac{7}{5}$
Option 3: $\frac{4}{5}$
Option 4: $\frac{5}{7}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{7}{5}$
Solution : $\sin A=\frac{2}{5}$ $⇒\cos A = \sqrt{1-\sin^2 A}$ $⇒\cos A = \sqrt{1-(\frac{2}{5})^2}$ $⇒\cos A = \sqrt{1-(\frac{4}{25})}$ $⇒\cos A = \sqrt{(\frac{21}{25})}$ $⇒\cos A = \frac{\sqrt{21}}{5}$ So, $\sec A = \frac{5}{\sqrt{21}}$ And, $\operatorname{cosec} A = \frac{5}{2}$ $\frac{5 \sin A+2 \operatorname{cosec} A}{\sqrt{21} \sec A}$ $=\frac{5 \times \frac{2}{5} +2 \times
Question : Directions: In the following question, select the one which is different from the other three alternatives.
Option 1: 4367
Option 2: 3245
Option 3: 6578
Option 4: 7689
Correct Answer: 4367
Solution : Let's check the options – The first option: 4367; The first and second halves are 43 and 67. ⇒ 67 – 43 = 24 ≠ 13 Second option: 3245; The first and second halves are 32 and 45. ⇒ 45 – 32 = 13 Third
