Question : The following pie chart shows the percentage of users of an app state-wise. What is the central angle for Rajasthan?
Option 1: $53.2^\circ$
Option 2: $63.5^\circ$
Option 3: $43.2^\circ$
Option 4: $44.2^\circ$
Correct Answer: $43.2^\circ$
Solution : Percentage of users of an app in Rajasthan = 12% The central angle of Rajasthan = $\frac{\text{Percentage of Rajasthan}}{\text{100}}\times360^\circ$ = $\frac{12}{100}\times360^\circ$ = $43.2^\circ$ Hence, the correct answer is $43.2^\circ$.
Question : Directions: How many maximum triangles are there in the given figure?
Option 1: 8
Option 2: 13
Option 3: 15
Option 4: 21
Correct Answer: 13
Solution : The given figure can be labelled as shown below –
Now, in the above figure, there are a total of 13 triangles. They are ABC, ABD, ABE, ABF, ACD, ACE, ACF, ADE, ADF, AEF, AIH, AHG, and AIG.
Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : Directions: In the following question, find out the odd number pair.
Option 1: (61, 244)
Option 2: (24, 96)
Option 3: (27, 137)
Option 4: (54, 216)
Correct Answer: (27, 137)
Solution : Let's check the options – First option: (61, 244)→244 ÷ 61 = 4 (244 is divisible by 61) Second option: (24, 96)→96 ÷ 24 = 4 (96 is divisible by 24) Third option: (27, 137)→137 ÷ 27 = 5.074 (137 is not divisible by

Question : Directions: In this question, a word is represented by only one set of numbers as given in any one of the alternatives. The sets of numbers given in the alternatives are represented by two classes of alphabets as in the two matrices, given below. The columns and rows of Matrix (I) are numbered from 0 to 4 and that of Matrix (II) are numbered from 5 to 9. A letter from these matrices can be represented first by its row and next by its column, e.g. F can be represented by 32, 42, etc, and M can be represented by 68, 88, etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word SURE.
Option 1: 76, 00, 77, 24
Option 2: 56, 10, 89, 30
Option 3: 86, 34, 65, 85
Option 4: 69, 02, 75, 66
Correct Answer: 56, 10, 89, 30
Solution : Given: SURE
Number representations of each letter – S→56, 69, 76, 86, 95 U→00, 10, 34 R→58, 65, 75, 78, 89 E→04, 20, 24, 30, 44
First option: 76, 00, 77, 24; R cannot be represented as 77. Second option: 56, 10,
Question : If $\triangle{PQR} \cong \triangle{STR}, \angle {Q}=50^{\circ}$ and $\angle {P}=70^{\circ}$ and ${PQ}$ is $8 {~cm}$. Which of the following options is NOT correct?
Option 1: $\angle {TSR}=80^{\circ}$
Option 2: $\angle {PRT}=60^{\circ}$
Option 3: ${PR}={RS}$
Option 4: ${TR}={RQ}$
Correct Answer: $\angle {TSR}=80^{\circ}$
Solution : Given, $\triangle{PQR} \cong \triangle{STR},$ $\angle {Q}=50^{\circ}$ and $\angle {P}=70^{\circ}$ and ${PQ}$ is $8 {~cm}$ If $\triangle{PQR} \cong \triangle{STR}$, $\angle P$ will be equal to $\angle S$ ⇒ $\angle TSR = 70° \neq80°$ Hence, the correct answer is $\angle {TSR}=80^{\circ}$.
Question : Directions: Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship as that shared by the given pairs of numbers. (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.) (7, 336) (9, 722)
Option 1: (5, 132)
Option 2: (11, 1331)
Option 3: (4, 57)
Option 4: (12, 1735)
Correct Answer: (4, 57)
Solution : Given: (7, 336); (9, 722)
Here, the pattern will be as follows – (7, 336)→73 = 343; 343 – 7 = 336 (9, 722)→93 = 729; 729 – 7 = 722 Let's check each option – First option: (5, 132); 53
