Question : A ladder leaning against a wall makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal ground such that $\cos \theta=\frac{5}{13}$. If the height of the top of the ladder from the wall is 18 m, then what is the distance (in m) of the foot of the ladder from the wall?
Option 1: 18
Option 2: 7.5
Option 3: 13
Option 4: 19.5
Correct Answer: 7.5
Solution : Let's the distance of the foot of the ladder as $x$, and the height of the top of the ladder is 18 m Length of the ladder = $L$ (Hypotenuse) $h$ = 18 cm and cos θ = $\frac{5}{13}$ Now, ⇒ cos θ = $\frac{5}{13}$
Question : Directions: Which letter cluster will replace the question mark (?) to complete the given series? PYWB, MVYD, ?, GPCH, DMEJ
Option 1: JSBF
Option 2: JTBF
Option 3: JTBG
Option 4: JSAF
Correct Answer: JSAF
Solution : Given: PYWB, MVYD, ?, GPCH, DMEJ
In the above-given series, subtract 3 from the place values of the first and second letters and add 2 to the place values of the third and fourth letters. PYWB→P – 3 = M; Y – 3 = V;

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 XY). So, the left side of the

Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : Directions: Four numbers have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the number that is different from the rest.
Option 1: 240
Option 2: 160
Option 3: 178
Option 4: 176
Correct Answer: 178
Solution : Let's check each option – First option: 240; 240 ÷ 4 = 60 Second option: 160; 160 ÷ 4 = 40 Third option: 178; 178 is not divisible by 4. Fourth option: 176; 176 ÷ 4 = 44
So, only the third option doesn't follow
Question : How many controls are there globally that influence the climate of a particular zone?

Question : If $\sin \theta+\cos \theta=\frac{\sqrt{11}}{3}$, then what is $\sin \theta-\cos \theta$?
Option 1: $\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4}$
Option 2: $\frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}$
Option 3: $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$
Option 4: $\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}$
Solution : Given: $\sin \theta+\cos \theta=\frac{\sqrt{11}}{3}$ (equation 1) Squaring both sides of the equation 1, we get, $(\sin \theta+\cos \theta)^2=(\frac{\sqrt{11}}{3})^2$ ⇒ $\sin^2 \theta+\cos^2 \theta+2\sin \theta \cos \theta=\frac{11}{9}$ ⇒ $1+2\sin \theta \cos \theta=\frac{11}{9}$ ⇒ $2\sin \theta \cos \theta=\frac{11}{9}-1$ ⇒ $2\sin \theta \cos \theta=\frac{2}{9}$ (equation 2) Substitute the value
