Question :
Directions: From among the given alternatives, select the one in which the set of numbers is most like the set of numbers question. Given set: (10.5, 15.0, 21.5)
Option 1: (32.5, 37.0, 43.5)
Option 2: (54.4, 58.0, 62.4)
Option 3: (62.2, 66.8, 73.3)
Option 4: (81.3, 85.8, 92.0)
Correct Answer: (32.5, 37.0, 43.5)
Solution : Given: (10.5, 15.0, 21.5)
Here, add 4.5 to the first number to obtain the second number, and then add 6.5 to the second number to obtain the third number – 10.5 + 4.5 = 15.0; 15.0 + 6.5 = 21.5 Let's check the

Question : Directions: A statement is given followed by two conclusions I and II. Consider the given statement as true and decide which conclusions logically follow/s from the given statement. Statement: The Prime Minister has made clear that his government will make a concerted effort to uplift poor farmers and announce an annual pension for them. Conclusions: I. The Government understands that the condition of poor farmers needs immediate attention. II. No benefits are announced for other sections of society.
Option 1: Both conclusions I and II follow
Option 2: Only conclusion I follows
Option 3: Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Option 4: Only conclusion II follows
Correct Answer: Only conclusion I follows
Solution : Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): The Government understands that the condition of poor farmers needs immediate attention: →This conclusion follows as the PM announced the annual pension for farmers. Conclusion (II): No benefits are announced for other sections of society:
Question : A can do a piece of work in 8 days, while B can do it in 7 days. If they work at it alternately beginning with A, then in how many days will the work be completed?
Option 1: 8
Option 2: $8 \frac{1}{2}$
Option 3: $7 \frac{1}{2}$
Option 4: 7
Correct Answer: $7 \frac{1}{2}$
Solution : One day work of A = $\frac{1}{8}$ One day work of B = $\frac{1}{7}$ Working alternatively, Two day work of A + B = $\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{7}$ = $\frac{15}{56}$ Six days work of (A + B) = $3\times\frac{15}{56}$ = $\frac{45}{56}$ On the seventh day, A works
Question : The blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the various parts of the body are called:
Option 1: Arteries
Option 2: Veins
Option 3: Septum
Option 4: Capillaries
Correct Answer: Arteries
Solution : The correct option is Arteries.
The blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to various parts of the body are called arteries. Arteries are responsible for transporting oxygenated blood (except for the pulmonary artery, which carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation) and
Question : PA and PB are two tangents from a point P outside the circle with centre O at the points A and B on it. If $\angle A P B=130^{\circ}$, then $\angle O A B$ is equal to:
Option 1: 45°
Option 2: 50°
Option 3: 35°
Option 4: 65°
Correct Answer: 65°
Solution : Given: PA and PB are tangents $\angle OAP = 90^\circ $ $\angle OBP = 90^\circ $ As, OAPB is a quadrilateral $\angle OAP + \angle APB + \angle PBO + \angle BOA = 360^\circ $ ⇒ $90^\circ + 130^\circ + 90^\circ + \angle BOA =
Question : If $\cot^2θ = 1 - e^2$, then the value of $\operatorname{cosec} θ + \cot^3θ \sec θ$ is:
Option 1: $\left(2-{e}^2\right)^ \frac{1}{2}$
Option 2: $\left(1-{e}^2\right)^ \frac{3}{2}$
Option 3: $\left(1-{e}^2\right)$
Option 4: $\left(2-{e}^2\right) ^\frac{3}{2}$
Correct Answer: $\left(2-{e}^2\right) ^\frac{3}{2}$
Solution : Given, $\cot^2θ = 1 - e^2$ Consider, $\operatorname{cosec} θ + \cot^3θ \sec θ$ $=\frac{1}{\sinθ} + \frac{\cos^3θ}{\sin^3θ}\frac1{\cosθ}$ $=\frac{\sin^2θ+\cos^2θ}{\sin^3θ}$ $=\frac{1}{\sin^3θ}$ [As $\sin^2θ+\cos^2θ=1$] $=\operatorname{cosec^3}θ$ Also, we know that, $\operatorname{cosec^2}θ=1+\cot^2θ$ ⇒ $\operatorname{cosec^2}θ=1+1-e^2$ ⇒ $\operatorname{cosec^2}θ=2-e^2$ ⇒ $\operatorname{cosec}θ=(2-e^2)^{\frac12}$ ⇒ $\operatorname{cosec^3}θ=(2-e^2)^{\frac32}$ Hence, the correct answer is $(2-e^2)^{\frac32}$.
Question : Directions: A scientist is related to the laboratory in the same way as a teacher is related to ______.
Option 1: School
Option 2: Research
Option 3: Job
Option 4: Students
Correct Answer: School
Solution : Given: A scientist is related to the laboratory.
The first term is a professional and the second term is the workplace – A scientist is a professional and a laboratory is a workplace or environment. Similarly, a teacher is a professional and a school is
Question : If 42 persons consume 144 kg of wheat in 15 days, how many days will 30 persons consume 48 kg of wheat?
Option 1: 8 days
Option 2: 7 days
Option 3: 12 days
Option 4: 6 days
Correct Answer: 7 days
Solution : Given: 42 persons can consume 144 kg of wheat in 15 days. Let in $x$ days 30 persons consume 48 kg of wheat. We know that $\frac{M1D1}{W1}=\frac{M2D2}{W2}$ According to the question, $\frac{42×15}{144}=\frac{30×x}{48}$ ⇒ $x=7$ Hence, the correct answer is 7 days.
Question : If $4\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 57^{\circ}-\tan ^2 33^{\circ}\right)-\cos 90^{\circ}-y \tan ^2 66^{\circ} \tan ^2 24^{\circ}=\frac{y}{2}$, the value of $y$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{8}{3}$
Option 2: $\frac{3}{8}$
Option 3: $8$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{3}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{8}{3}$
Solution : $\operatorname{cosec}(90^{\circ} - \theta) = \sec \theta$ $\tan\theta = \frac{1}{\cot\theta}$ So, $4\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 57^{\circ}-\tan ^2 33^{\circ}\right)-\cos 90^{\circ}-y \tan ^2 66^{\circ} \tan ^2 24^{\circ}=\frac{y}{2}$ ⇒ $(\operatorname{cosec}^{2}(90-33)^{\circ} - \tan^{2}33^{\circ}) - 0- y×\tan^{2}66^{\circ} × \tan^{2}(90-66)^{\circ}$ = $\frac{y}{2}$ ⇒ $4(\sec^{2}57^{\circ}- \tan^{2}33^{\circ}) - y × \tan^{2}66^{\circ} × \cot^{2}66^{\circ} = \frac{y}{2}$ ⇒ $4
