Question : The relationship between bond length and bond energy is
Option 1: Lower the bond energy, shorter the bond length
Option 2: They are not related
Option 3: Higher the bond energy, shorter the bond length
Option 4: Higher the bond energy, longer the bond length
Correct Answer: Higher the bond energy, shorter the bond length
Solution : The correct option is The higher the bond energy, the shorter the bond length
There is an inverse relationship between bond energy and bond length. Reducing bond length increases bond energy and vice versa. The balance of repulsive

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.) (13 – 15 – 7); (9 – 11 – 5)
Option 1: (16 – 24 – 10)
Option 2: (15 – 18 – 9)
Option 3: (26 – 37 – 15)
Option 4: (22 – 45 – 21)
Correct Answer: (16 – 24 – 10)
Solution : Given: (13 – 15 – 7); (9 – 11 – 5)
Here, (13 – 15 – 7)→(13 + 15) ÷ 4 = 28 ÷ 4 = 7 (9 – 11 – 5)→(9 + 11) ÷ 4 = 20 ÷ 4 =
Question : Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined words in the given sentence. Instead of taking the time to do the job properly, they decided to cut corners and save time by using cheap materials.

Option 2: physically cut a corner off of something
Option 3: take a shortcut for easy way out in order to save efforts
Option 4: break a promise or commitment

Solution : The third option is the correct choice.
The reason for this answer is that the expression "cut corners" is an idiomatic phrase that means to take shortcuts or to do something in a quicker
Question : Which of the following laws states that "The magnitude of the induced Electromotive force (EMF) in a circuit is equal to the time rate of change of magnetic flux through the circuit"?
Option 1: Faraday's law
Option 2: Coulomb's law
Option 3: Kirchhoff's law
Option 4: Laplace's law
Correct Answer: Faraday's law
Solution : The correct answer is Faraday's law.
The fundamental law of electromagnetism, also referred to as Faraday's law, is the electromagnetic induction law, which describes how an electric circuit and a magnetic field interact to produce an electromotive force (EMF). This phenomenon is called
Question : Directions: Study the bar diagram and answer the question.
The difference between the total number of boys and total number of girls from all departments together is:
Option 1: 540
Option 2: 520
Option 3: 460
Option 4: 440
Correct Answer: 440
Solution : Total boys = 60 + 220 + 100 + 160 + 120 = 660 Total girls = 140 + 300 + 180 + 260 + 220 = 1100 Difference of boys and girls = 1100 – 660 = 440 Hence, the correct answer is 440.

Question : The line chart given below shows the GDP of two countries L and M in five different years. $J1$ = The value of the average GDP of countries L and M in year Y1. $J2$ = The value of the average GDP of countries L and M in year Y4. What is the value of $(\frac{J1}{J2})$?
Option 1: 4.42
Option 2: 2.36
Option 3: 3.48
Option 4: 1.56
Correct Answer: 2.36
Solution : Given $J1$ = Average GDP of countries L and M in year Y1. $J1$ = $\frac{315 + 205 }{2}$= 260 $J2$ = Average GDP of countries L and M in year Y4. $J2$ =$\frac{ 105 + 115 }{2}$= 110 $\therefore \frac{J1}{J2} = \frac{260}{110} = \frac{26}{11}
Question : Directions: Mr Das started his journey from his house straight to his friend's house at a distance of 12 km. On returning he walked 8 km on the same route and turned right and walked 4 km, then he turned to his left and walked 4 km. Finally, he turned to his left and walked 2 km. How far was he from his house?
Option 1: 8 km
Option 2: 4 km
Option 3: 6 km
Option 4: 2 km
Correct Answer: 2 km
Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –
Assume that Mr Das starts his journey in the east direction.
The distance between the initial point (A) and the endpoint (F) = 2 km
So, Mr Das is 2 km away
