Question : If $\tan (x + y)=1$ and $\cos (x-y)={\frac{\sqrt3}{2}}$, then what is the value of $x$ and $y$?
Option 1: $x = 3^\circ, y = 4.5^\circ$
Option 2: $x = 37.5^\circ, y = 7.5^\circ$
Option 3: $x = 7.5^\circ, y = 37.5^\circ$
Option 4: $x = 4.5^\circ, y = 3^\circ$
Correct Answer: $x = 37.5^\circ, y = 7.5^\circ$
Solution : $\tan (x + y)=1=\tan 45^\circ$ $⇒x+y=45^\circ$ ____(i) $\cos (x-y)={\frac{\sqrt3}{2}}=\cos 30^\circ$ $⇒x+y=30^\circ$ ____(ii) Adding both equations, $⇒2x=75^\circ$ $⇒x=37.5^\circ$ And, $⇒2y=15^\circ$ $⇒y=7.5^\circ$ Hence, the correct answer is $x = 37.5^\circ, y = 7.5^\circ$.
Question : Directions: Words given on the left side of (::) are related to each other by some Logic/Rule/Relation. Select the missing word/word pair on the right side of (::) from the given alternatives based on the same Logic/Rule/Relation. Axe : Woodcutter :: ?

Question : In which year did Niels Bohr propose a theory for the hydrogen atom based on the quantum theory that some physical quantities take only discrete values?
Option 1: 1919
Option 2: 1921
Option 3: 1909
Option 4: 1913
Correct Answer: 1913
Solution : The correct answer is 1913.
In 1913, Niels Bohr introduced his quantum theory-based model for the hydrogen atom. The Bohr model, a groundbreaking contribution to atomic physics, was pivotal in comprehending electron behaviour in atoms through the concept of distinct energy levels.
Question : Choose the word that is opposite in meaning to the given word. Inchoate
Option 1: Articulate
Option 2: Refined
Option 3: Artless
Option 4: Formless
Correct Answer: Refined
Solution : The second option is correct.
Inchoate: It is often used to describe things that are in the initial or rudimentary stages of existence.
Refined: Showing sophistication, culture, polish, or improvement in manners or taste. They are antonyms, representing opposite ends of the spectrum in terms
Question : Directions: If a mirror is placed on the line MN, then which of the answer figures is the right mirror 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. So, according to the above property and the information provided, the mirror is placed on the right side of the figure (on line MN). So, the left side of the
Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the first term in the same way as the fourth term is related to the third term and the sixth term is related to the fifth term. 7 : ? :: 15 : 150 :: 18 : 234
Option 1: 17
Option 2: 12
Option 3: 14
Option 4: 15
Correct Answer: 14
Solution : Given: 7 : ? :: 15 : 150 :: 18 : 234
Multiply the first number with a number that is five less than the first number to get the second number. Like, 15 : 150→15 × (15 – 5) = 15 × 10 =
Question : Directions: Select the correct mirror image of the given figure when the mirror is placed at MN as shown.
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 : If $2\tan^2A+4\cos^4A=3$, then the possible value of $A$ is:
Option 1: 45°
Option 2: 60°
Option 3: 0°
Option 4: 30°
Correct Answer: 45°
Solution : Given: $2\tan^2A+4\cos^4A=3$ Take $A = 45°$ then, $2\tan^2A+4\cos^4A=2(1)^2+4(\frac{1}{\sqrt2})^4 = 2 + 1 = 3$ So, $A = 45°$ satisfies the given equation. Hence, the correct answer is 45°.
Question : Directions: Select the correct mirror image of the given figure when the mirror is placed at MN as shown below.
Solution : As per mirror image properties, closer things appear closer to the mirror in reflection. According to the information provided, if the mirror is placed on the right side of the figure (on line MN), the right of the reflected image will appear as the left, and
