Question : If $x=\frac{8ab}{a+b}(a\neq b),$ then the value of $\frac{x+4a}{x–4a}+\frac{x+4b}{x–4b}$ is:
Option 1: 0
Option 2: 1
Option 3: 2
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : Given: $x=\frac{8ab}{a+b}(a\neq b)$ Then, putting the value of $x$ in expression $\frac{x+4a}{x–4a}+\frac{x+4b}{x–4b}$, we have, = $\frac{\frac{8ab}{a+b}+4a}{\frac{8ab}{a+b}–4a}+\frac{\frac{8ab}{a+b}+4b}{\frac{8ab}{a+b}–4b}$ = $\frac{\frac{8ab+4a^{2}+4ab}{a+b}}{\frac{8ab–4a^{2}–4ab}{a+b}}+\frac{\frac{8ab+4ab+4b^{2}}{a+b}}{\frac{8ab–4ab–4b^{2}}{a+b}}$ = $\frac{{8ab+4a^{2}+4ab}}{8ab–4a^{2}–4ab}+\frac{8ab+4ab+4b^{2}}{8ab–4ab–4b^{2}}$ = $\frac{{12ab+4a^{2}}}{4ab–4a^{2}}+\frac{12ab+4b^{2}}{4ab–4b^{2}}$ = $\frac{{4a(3b+a)}}{4a(b–a)}+\frac{4b(3a+b)}{4b(a–b)}$ = $\frac{{(3b+a)}}{(b–a)}+\frac{(3a+b)}{(a–b)}$ = $\frac{{(3b+a–3a–b)}}{(b–a)}$ = $\frac{{(2b–2a)}}{(b–a)}$ = $\frac{{2(b–a)}}{(b–a)}$ = 2 Hence, the correct answer is 2.
Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the fifth letter cluster in the same way as the second letter cluster is related to the first letter cluster and the fourth letter cluster is related to the third letter cluster. PLAN : QOMKBZOM :: SINK : TRJHOMLJ :: RUDE : ?
Option 1: SQVTECFD
Option 2: ECFDSQVT
Option 3: ECFDECFD
Option 4: SQVTSQVT
Correct Answer: SQVTECFD
Solution : Given: PLAN : QOMKBZOM :: SINK : TRJHOMLJ :: RUDE : ?
Add and subtract 1 from the place value of each letter of the PLAN, to get their related letter cluster –
So, PLAN is related to QOMKBZOM. And, SINK : TRJHOMLJ→
So, SINK
Question : D is a point on the side BC of a $\triangle $ABC such that $\angle A D C=\angle B A C$. If CA = 10 cm and BC=16 cm, then the length of CD is:
Option 1: 6.5 cm
Option 2: 6.25 cm
Option 3: 7 cm
Option 4: 6 cm
Correct Answer: 6.25 cm
Solution : In this case, we can use the property of similar triangles to find the length of CD. Given that $\angle ADC = \angle BAC$, $\triangle ADC$ is similar to $\triangle BAC$ by the AAA similarity criterion. This implies that the ratios of the corresponding

Question : A certain sum (in INR) is invested at simple interest at y% per annum for $3 \frac{1}{2}$ years. Had it been invested at (y + 4)% per annum at simple interest, it would have fetched INR 4,452 more as interest. What is the sum?
Option 1: INR 42,400
Option 2: INR 31,800
Option 3: INR 30,400
Option 4: INR 42,800
Correct Answer: INR 31,800
Solution : Given: Time, $t\ = 3\tfrac{1}{2}$ years Original rate = $y\%$ New rate = $y\ +\ 4\%$ Let the principal be INR $x$. According to the question, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$ $\Rightarrow \frac{x\ \times (y\ +\ 4\ -\ y)\times 7}{100\ \times
Question : Comprehension: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. The rise of social media has undoubtedly changed the way we communicate with one another. It has connected people from all over the world and provided a platform for voices that were once silenced. However, as with any form of communication, social media has its downsides. One of the most significant downsides is the spread of misinformation. With the rise of social media, anyone can become a content creator, which means that anyone can share information without fact-checking or considering the consequences. This has led to a proliferation of false information, from conspiracy theories to hoaxes, that can quickly spread and cause harm. One recent example of this is the COVID-19 pandemic. Social media has played a significant role in the spread of misinformation about the virus and the vaccines. False claims about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccines have caused many people to be hesitant or outright refuse to get vaccinated. This, in turn, has led to the prolongation of the pandemic and the loss of many lives. The spread of misinformation on social media is not a new phenomenon. In fact, it has been around for centuries. However, the speed and ease with which misinformation can spread on social media have made it a particularly pernicious problem in our modern world. Throughout history, misinformation has been used to sow discord and manipulate people. For example, during World War II, the Nazi regime used propaganda to spread false information about Jews, Roma, and other targeted groups in order to justify their persecution and ultimately their extermination. Similarly, during the Cold War, both the United States and the Soviet Union used propaganda to demonise one another and sway public opinion. The difference now is that social media has made it easier than ever to spread false information. A single post or tweet can reach millions of people within seconds, and it can be difficult to counteract the effects of that misinformation once it has spread. So, what can we do about it? The answer is not simple, but it starts with education. We need to teach people how to think critically, how to fact-check, and how to discern between credible sources and fake news. We also need to hold social media companies accountable for the content on their platforms and ensure that they are doing their part to combat the spread of misinformation. In short, the rise of social media has given us a powerful tool for communication, but we must use it wisely. We must be vigilant against the spread of misinformation and work together to ensure that the information we consume and share is accurate and reliable. Question: What is the author's opinion of social media in this passage?
Option 1: Social media has had a mostly positive impact on society, despite some drawbacks.
Option 2: Social media is responsible for the spread of false information, but its impact on society is otherwise neutral.
Option 3: Social media has changed the way we communicate, but it has also brought about significant negative consequences.
Option 4: Social media is a powerful tool for communication that has many benefits.
Correct Answer: Social media has changed the way we communicate, but it has also brought about significant negative consequences.
Solution : The correct answer is the third option.
While the passage acknowledges the positive aspects of social media, such as connecting people globally and providing a platform for silenced voices,
