Question : $O$ is the orthocentre of triangle $ABC$, and if $\angle BOC = 110^\circ$, then $\angle BAC$ will be:
Option 1: $110^\circ$
Option 2: $70^\circ$
Option 3: $100^\circ$
Option 4: $90^\circ$
Correct Answer: $70^\circ$
Solution : Given that $O$ is the orthocentre of triangle $ABC$, and $\angle BOC = 110^\circ$ Join OF, OD, and OE. In quadrilateral $AFOE,$ $\angle AFO =\angle AEO = 90^\circ$ $\angle FOE =\angle BOC = 110^\circ$ (Vertically opposite angle) The sum of four angles of a quadrilateral

Question : The mean high temperature of the first four days of a week is 25°C whereas the mean of the last four days is 25.5°C. If the mean temperature of the whole week is 25.2°C, then the temperature on the 4th day is:
Option 1: 25.5°C
Option 2: 25°C
Option 3: 25.2°C
Option 4: 25.6°C
Correct Answer: 25.6°C
Solution : Total temperature for the first four days = 4 × 25°C = 100°C Total temperature for the last four days = 4 × 25.5°C = 102°C Total temperature for the week = 7 × 25.2°C = 176.4°C Total temperature for the first and last four
Question : If $x$ = $y$ = $z$, then $\frac{\left (x+y+z \right )^{2}}{x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}}$ is equal to:
Option 1: 4
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : According to the question, $x$ = $y$ = $z$ We can put $x$ at the place of $y$ and $z$. Given equation: $\frac{\left (x+y+z \right )^{2}}{x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}}$ = $\frac{(x+x+x)^2}{x^2+x^2+x^2}$ ⇒ $\frac{\left (x+y+z \right )^{2}}{x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}}$ = $\frac{(3x)^2}{3x^2}$ ⇒ $\frac{\left (x+y+z \right )^{2}}{x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}}$ = $\frac{9x^2}{3x^2}$ ⇒ $\frac{\left (x+y+z
Question : Directions: Select the option in which the letter clusters share the same relationship as that shared by the given pair of letter clusters. AMY : TQA YJZ : RNB
Option 1: EAT : XFV
Option 2: TRY : MVW
Option 3: PAL : JEN
Option 4: CUP : VYR
Correct Answer: CUP : VYR
Solution : Given: AMY : TQA YJZ : RNB
Here, AMY : TQA→A + 19 = T; M + 4 = Q; Y + 2 = A And, YJZ : RNB→Y + 19 = R; J + 4 = N; Z + 2 = B
Question : Directions: Select the pair of letter clusters that follows the same pattern as that followed by the two sets of the pair of letter clusters given below. Both pairs of letter clusters follow the same pattern. EKM : DIJ LPT : KNQ
