Question : If 80% of A is 13 more than 90% of B, and the ratio of 40% of A to 60% of B is 10 : 9, then what is the value of A – B?
Option 1: 50
Option 2: 80
Option 3: 20
Option 4: 60
Correct Answer: 20
Solution : From the first condition, $0.8A = 0.9B + 13$ ___(1) From the second condition, $\frac{0.4A}{0.6B} = \frac{10}{9} \Rightarrow 0.4A = \frac{10}{9} \times 0.6B$ ___(2) From equation (2), we can express A in terms of B: $A = \frac{10}{9} \times \frac{0.6B}{0.4} = \frac{5}{3}B$ ___(3) Substitute equation
Question : Select the correctly spelt word.
Option 1: ubiqitous
Option 2: ubquitous
Option 3: ubiquitous
Option 4: ubiqoitous
Correct Answer: ubiquitous
Solution : The correct option is the third option.

Question : Iodine value is used to estimate
Option 1: Hydroxyl groups in oil
Option 2: Alkali content in oil
Option 3: Unsaturation in oil
Option 4: The carboxylic group in the oil
Correct Answer: Unsaturation in oil
Solution : The correct option is Unsaturation in oil.
The iodine value is a method of estimating the degree of unsaturation in oils and fats. A higher iodine value suggests a higher amount of unsaturation, which means the fatty acids have more double bonds between
Question : Directions: In the following question a series is given, with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series. 510, 322, 404, ?
Option 1: 422
Option 2: 371
Option 3: 629
Option 4: 819
Correct Answer: 422
Solution : Given: 510, 322, 404, ?
In the above-given series, all numbers are even, therefore, the next number will also be even. Let's check the options – First option: 422; 422 is an even number. Second option: 371; 371 is an odd number. Third option: 629;
Question : The average of the series 500, 505, 515, 530, 550 is:
Option 1: 520
Option 2: 515
Option 3: 505
Option 4: 530
Correct Answer: 520
Solution : $\text{Average}$ $=\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{{\text{Total number of observations}}}$ $=\frac{500+505+515+530+550}{5}$ $=\frac{2600}{5}$ $= 520$ Hence, the correct answer is 520.
Question : The perimeter of two similar triangles RST and IJK (in correspondence) is 56 cm and 64 cm respectively. If IJ = 16 cm, then what is the length of RS?
Option 1: 18 cm
Option 2: 16 cm
Option 3: 14 cm
Option 4: 8 cm
Correct Answer: 14 cm
Solution : In similar triangles, the ratio of their corresponding sides is equal to the ratio of their perimeters. Given that the perimeters of triangles RST and IJK are 56 cm and 64 cm respectively, the ratio of their perimeters is: $\frac{\text{Perimeter of RST}}{\text{Perimeter of IJK}}
Question : Directions: In a certain code language, planes get going is coded as pn Im pg, hard work get is coded as kt rk Im, and hard is you is coded as ab rk fg. What can be the code for work in that language?
Option 1: kn
Option 2: Im
Option 3: pg
Option 4: kt
Correct Answer: kt
Solution : Given: 1. planes get going⇒pn Im pg 2. hard work get⇒kt rk Im 3. hard is you⇒ab rk fg
By comparing all the coded sentences, we find that – In sentences 1 and 2, get is a common word
Question : The cost price of a saree to a person X was INR 100. Person X sells the saree to Person Y at a profit of 10% and Person Y then sells it to Person Z at a loss of 10%. How much does person Z pay for the saree?
Option 1: INR 100
Option 2: INR 99
Option 3: INR 101
Option 4: INR 90
Correct Answer: INR 99
Solution : Given, Cost price of X = Rs100 Final value = Initial value$(1 + \frac{R}{100}) (1 - \frac{R}{100}$) Where, R = increment and decrement of Rate successively Here, we have Initial value = Cost price of X = INR 100, Rate of increment = 10%,
