Question : Find the area of the triangle whose height is 56 cm and the corresponding base is $\frac{1}{4}$th of the height.
Option 1: 544 cm2
Option 2: 440 cm2
Option 3: 392 cm2
Option 4: 480 cm2
Correct Answer: 392 cm2
Solution : Given: The height of the triangle = 56 cm, and the base = $\frac{1}{4}$ × 56 = 14 cm Therefore, the area of the triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ × Height × Base = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 56 × 14 = 392 cm2 Hence, the correct answer is 392 cm2.
Question : Directions: Priti, Rani, Sriti, Tania, Urusha, and Vidhi are sitting in a circle facing the centre. Vidhi is sitting second to the left of Sriti and is in between Tania and Urusha. Sriti is not a neighbour to Rani or Tania. Who is sitting to the immediate right of Priti?

Question : Sohan makes four journeys of equal distance. In the first journey, his speed was 240 km/hr and in each subsequent journey his speed was half the speed of the previous journey. What is the average speed of Sohan in these four journeys?
Option 1: 50 km/hr
Option 2: 64 km/hr
Option 3: 60 km/hr
Option 4: 52 km/hr
Correct Answer: 64 km/hr
Solution : Let the distance of each trip be $d$. For the first trip, speed = 240 km/hr $\therefore$ time = $\frac{d}{240}$ For the second trip, speed = $\frac{240}{2}$ = 120 km/hr $\therefore$ time = $\frac{d}{120}$ For the third trip, speed = $\frac{120}{2}$ = 60 km/hr $\therefore$ time = $\frac{d}{60}$ For the fourth trip, speed = $\frac{60}{2}$ = 30 km/hr $\therefore$ time = $\frac{d}{30}$ Average speed = $\frac{\text{total distance}}{\text{total time}}$ = $\frac{d+d+d+d}{\frac{d}{240}+\frac{d}{120}+\frac{d}{60}+\frac{d}{30}}$ = $\frac{4d}{\frac{15d}{240}}$ = $\frac{960}{15}$ = 64 km/hr Hence, the correct answer is 64 km/hr.
Question : Directions: In the following question below are given some statements followed by some conclusions based on those statements. Taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows the given statements. Statements: I. Some S are P II. No P is L Conclusion: I. All S are P II. All L are S
Option 1: Both conclusions I and II follows
Option 2: Neither conclusion follows
Option 3: Only conclusion I follows
Option 4: Only conclusion II follows
Correct Answer: Neither conclusion follows
Solution : According to the given statements, the Venn diagram is –
Let us analyse the conclusions – Conclusion I: All S are P – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing S and P overlap and have a part of their area in common. So, it can be concluded that some S are P but all S are not P. Conclusion II:. All L are S – It is a possibility that the circle representing L is completely overlapped by the circle representing S. But this is not definite. So, this conclusion does not follow.
So, neither conclusion follows. Hence, the second option is correct.
