Question : Comprehension: Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Key factors influencing subway air pollution will include station depth, date of construction, type of ventilation (natural/air conditioning), types of brakes (electromagnetic or conventional brake pads) and wheels (rubber or steel) used on the trains, train frequency and more recently the presence or absence of platform screen-door systems. In particular, much subway particulate matter is sourced from moving train parts such as wheels and brake pads, as well as from the steel rails and power-supply materials, making the particles dominantly iron-containing. To date, there is no clear epidemiological indication of abnormal health effects on underground workers and commuters. New York subway workers have been exposed to such air without significant observed impacts on their health, and no increased risk of lung cancer was found among subway train drivers in the Stockholm subway system. But a note of caution is struck by the observations of scholars who found that employees working on the platforms of Stockholm underground, where PM concentrations were greatest, tended to have higher levels of risk markers for cardiovascular disease than ticket sellers and train drivers. The dominantly ferrous particles are mixed with particles from a range of other sources, including rock ballast from the track, biological aerosols such as bacteria and viruses, and air from the outdoors, and driven through the tunnel system on turbulent air currents generated by the trains themselves and ventilation systems.
Question
Inferring from the passage, what is the most practical way of reducing the health risk of subway life?
Option 1: Wearing face masks during journey
Option 2: Opting for other transportation modes
Option 3: Reducing subway commutation
Option 4: Generating ventilation systems
Correct Answer: Generating ventilation systems
Solution : The correct option is the fourth option.
Explanation: The passage highlights various factors contributing to subway air pollution, including the sources of particulate matter and their impact on health. Improving ventilation systems within the subway can help mitigate the health risks associated with
Question : If $\sin 2A = \cos 15^{\circ}$, then the smallest positive value of A is:
Option 1: 75$^{\circ}$
Option 2: 37.5$^{\circ}$
Option 3: 7.5$^{\circ}$
Option 4: 47.5$^{\circ}$
Correct Answer: 37.5$^{\circ}$
Solution : Given: $\sin 2A = \cos 15^{\circ}$ ⇒ $\sin 2A = \sin (90^{\circ}- 15^{\circ})$ ⇒ $\sin 2A = \sin 75^{\circ}$ ⇒ $2A = 75^{\circ}$ ⇒ $A = \frac{75}{2}^{\circ} = 37.5^{\circ}$ Hence, the correct answer is $37.5^{\circ}$.

Question : Directions: Ruhi travels 10 km towards the north then turns left and travels 4 km and then again turns right and covers another 5 km and turns right and travels another 4 km. How far is she from the starting point?
Option 1: 5 km
Option 2: 10 km
Option 3: 15 km
Option 4: 20 km
Correct Answer: 15 km
Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –
From the above diagram, the distance between the starting and the endpoint is 15 km.
So, Ruhi is at a distance of 15 km from the starting point. Hence, the third option
Question : Which substance covers the root of the tooth?
Option 1: Dentin
Option 2: Enamel
Option 3: Pulp
Option 4: Cementum
Correct Answer: Cementum
Solution : The correct answer is Cementum.
A specific calcified material called cementum coats a tooth's root. The portion of the periodontium called the cementum anchors the periodontal ligament, which holds the teeth to the alveolar bone. Cementocytes, or imprisoned cementoblasts, are the cells that make
Question : Once a satellite has been launched into orbit, the only force governing its motion is the force of______________.
Option 1: friction
Option 2: elasticity
Option 3: gravity
Option 4: fuel driven
Correct Answer: gravity
Solution : The correct option is gravity.
Once a satellite has been launched into orbit, the only force governing its motion is the force of gravity. The gravitational force between the satellite and the celestial body it is orbiting (usually Earth) is what keeps the satellite in
Question : When operated separately, pipe A takes 5 hours less than pipe B to fill a cistern, and when operated together, the cistern gets filled in 6 hours. In how much time (in hours) will pipe A fill the cistern, if operated separately?
Option 1: 15
Option 2: 18
Option 3: 10
Option 4: 9
Correct Answer: 10
Solution : Let time to fill the whole tank by pipe B alone be $x$ hours. The time taken to fill the whole tank by pipe A will be $(x - 5)$ hours. Let the capacity of the total tank be $6x(x - 5)$ units. Efficiency of
Question : A and B together can complete a project in 30 days. They started together, but after 6 days, A left the work and the work was completed by B after 36 more days. Single person A can complete the entire work in how many days?
Option 1: 45 days
Option 2: 90 days
Option 3: 60 days
Option 4: 120 days
Correct Answer: 90 days
Solution : Given: A and B together can complete a project in 30 days. They started together, but after 6 days, A left the work, and the work was completed by B after 36 more days. We know the formula, Work = Efficiency × Time Let
