Question : Directions: Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series? 730, 692, 654, ?, 578
Option 1: 612
Option 2: 626
Option 3: 616
Option 4: 622
Correct Answer: 616
Solution : Given: 730, 692, 654, ?, 578
Let's check the difference between each number of the given series – Like, 730 – 692 = 38 And, 692 – 654 = 38 Thus, the common difference between the two numbers is 38. Similarly, 654 – 38 =
Question : Improve the underlined part of the sentence. Choose 'No improvement' as an answer if the sentence is grammatically correct. Their appointment lasted for almost an hour.
Option 1: lastly for
Option 2: lasting for
Option 3: No improvement
Option 4: last for
Correct Answer: No improvement
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
The underlined portion is grammatically correct. The sentence effectively conveys the intended meaning, indicating that the appointment lasted close to one hour.
Therefore, the correct answer is no improvement.
Question : Directions: In the question, a sentence is given with a blank to be filled in with the appropriate words. Four alternatives are suggested for each question. Choose the correct alternative out of the four alternatives.
The accused was ____ as the counsel could not produce a witness.
Option 1: Let out
Option 2: Let off
Option 3: Let on
Option 4: let aside
Correct Answer: Let off
Solution : The correct option is the second option.
"Let off" means to punish someone lightly, or not at all, and correctly fits in the sentence conveying the intended meaning.
The meanings of other options are as follows:
Question : Directions: In a certain code language, will come back is written as mp rq pl and back to school is written as jn st mp. How is back written in the given language?
Option 1: pl
Option 2: rq
Option 3: jn
Option 4: mp
Correct Answer: mp
Solution : Given: 1. will come back ⇒ mp rq pl 2. back to school ⇒ jn st mp
By comparing all the two coded sentences, we find that – In sentences 1 and 2, back and mp are common.
So, back will be coded mp.
Question : In 1834, who proposed a law that states that the current induced by a change in flow opposes the effect of creating the change?
Option 1: David Brewster
Option 2: Henry Moseley
Option 3: Christian Johann Doppler
Option 4: Heinrich Friedrich Lenz
Correct Answer: Heinrich Friedrich Lenz
Solution : The correct answer is Heinrich Friedrich Lenz.
Heinrich Friedrich Lenz was a Russian physicist of German origin who independently formulated what is known as Lenz's Law in 1834. Lenz's law articulates that when a magnetic field around a conductor changes, the induced
Question : If $\sin \theta+\tan \theta=\mathrm{p}$ and $\tan \theta-\sin \theta=\mathrm{q}$, then which of the relation satisfies for given values of $\mathrm{p}$ and $\mathrm{q}$?
Option 1: $\mathrm{p}^2-\mathrm{q}^2=4 \sqrt{\mathrm{pq}}$
Option 2: $\mathrm{p}^2-\mathrm{q}^2=8 \sqrt{\mathrm{pq}}$
Option 3: $\mathrm{p}^2+\mathrm{q}^2=4 \sqrt{\mathrm{pq}}$
Option 4: $\mathrm{p}^2+\mathrm{q}^2=4 \mathrm{pq}$
Correct Answer: $\mathrm{p}^2-\mathrm{q}^2=4 \sqrt{\mathrm{pq}}$
Solution : Given, $\sin \theta+\tan \theta=\mathrm{p}$ and $\tan \theta-\sin \theta=\mathrm{q}$ Now, $\mathrm{pq}=(\tan \theta-\sin \theta)(\tan \theta+\sin \theta)$ Using $(a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2$ ⇒ $\mathrm{pq}=\tan^2\theta-\sin^2\theta$ ⇒ $\mathrm{pq}=\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta}-\sin^2\theta$ ⇒ $\mathrm{pq}=\sin^2\theta(\frac{1}{\cos^2\theta}-1)$ ⇒ $\mathrm{pq}=\sin^2\theta(\frac{1-\cos^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta})$ We know, $\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta = 1$ ⇒ $\mathrm{pq}=\sin^2\theta(\frac{\sin^2\theta}{\cos^2\theta})$ ⇒ $\mathrm{pq}=\sin^2\theta\tan^2\theta$ And, $\mathrm{p^2}=(\sin \theta+\tan \theta)^2$ $=\sin^2 \theta+\tan^2 \theta+2\sin\theta\tan\theta$ Also, $\mathrm{q^2}=(\tan \theta-\sin \theta)^2$
Question : The area of a sector of a circle that subtends a 22.5° angle at the centre is given as 346.5 cm². What will be the radius (in cm) of the circle? [Use $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$]
Option 1: 35
Option 2: 45
Option 3: 42
Option 4: 48
Correct Answer: 42
Solution : Given, Area = 346.5 cm$^2$ Angle ($\theta$) = 22.5° Let $r$ be the radius. Area $=\frac{\theta}{360°}\times \pi r^2$ ⇒ $346.5=\frac{22.5°}{360°}\times \frac{22}{7}\times r^2$ ⇒ $\frac{346.5\times360\times7}{22.5\times 22}=r^2$ ⇒ $r^2 = \frac{873180}{495}$ ⇒ $r^2=1764$ ⇒ $r=\sqrt{1764}$ ⇒ $r$ = 42 cm Hence, the correct answer is 42.
Question : In a showroom, the ratio of TVs and rice cookers is 2 : 3. Find the percentage of rice cookers in the showroom.
Option 1: 40%
Option 2: 30%
Option 3: 60%
Option 4: 50%
Correct Answer: 60%
Solution : Given: The ratio of TVs and rice cookers is 2 : 3. Let the amount of TVs be 2x and rice cookers be 3x. Sum of TVs and rice cookers = 2x + 3x = 5x $\therefore$ Percentage of rice cookers = $\frac{3x}{5x}\times100= 60\%$ Hence,
