Question : Directions: What will come in the place of (?) in the following equation, if + and – are interchanged and × and ÷ are interchanged? 26 ÷ 6 + 24 × 3 – 6 = ?
Option 1: 124
Option 2: 154
Option 3: 134
Option 4: 144
Correct Answer: 154
Solution : Given: 26 ÷ 6 + 24 × 3 – 6 = ?
After interchanging + with –, and × with ÷, the equation will be as follows – = 26 × 6 – 24 ÷ 3 + 6 = 26 × 6 – 8 +
Question : Directions: If a mirror is placed on the line MN, then which of the answer figures is the right image of the given figure?
Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:
Correct Answer:
Solution : As per the mirror image properties, closer things appear closer to the mirror in the reflection. Here, according to the information provided, the mirror is placed at the bottom of the figure (on line MN). So, the top of the reflected image will appear as the

Question : When camphor is heated, which of the following changes will take place?
Option 1: Solid to gas
Option 2: Solid to liquid to gas
Option 3: Liquid to gas
Option 4: Solid to liquid
Correct Answer: Solid to gas
Solution : The correct answer is Solid to gas.
When camphor is heated, it directly turns into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. This process of directly changing solids into gas is known as the sublimation process. The sublimation of camphor is an
Question : The circumference of a circle is 132 cm. The area of the circle is: (Take $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)
Option 1: 1380 cm2
Option 2: 1322 cm2
Option 3: 1086 cm2
Option 4: 1386 cm2
Correct Answer: 1386 cm2
Solution : Given: The circumference of a circle is 132 cm. Let the radius of the circle = $r$ cm We know, The circumference of a circle = $2\pi r$ Here, $2\pi r =132$ $⇒2×\frac{22}{7}×r=132$ $⇒r=132×\frac{1}{2}×\frac{7}{22}$ $⇒r=21$ cm Now, the area of the circle =
Question : Directions: In the following question, select the related letters from the given alternatives. AJN : DMQ :: PTW :?
Option 1: ITE
Option 2: MZW
Option 3: SOH
Option 4: SWZ
Correct Answer: SWZ
Solution : Given: AJN : DMQ :: PTW : ?
Add 3 to the positional value of each letter of AJN to obtain the required code – A + 3 = D; J + 3 = M; N + 3 = Q Thus, AJN is coded as
Question : Two circles of radii 9 cm and 4 cm, respectively, touch each other externally at point $A. PQ$ is the direct common tangent of those two circles of centres $O_1$ and $O_2$, respectively. The length of $PQ$ is equal to:
Option 1: 13 cm
Option 2: 11 cm
Option 3: 10 cm
Option 4: 12 cm
Correct Answer: 12 cm
Solution : Given: $R_1$ = 9 cm $R_2$ = 4 cm Thus, direct common tangent, PQ = $2\sqrt{R_1R_2}$ = $2×\sqrt{9×4}$ = $2×3×2$ = $12$ cm Hence, the correct answer is 12 cm.
