Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:
Correct Answer:
Solution : When the given folded paper is unfolded, it will look like –
Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : Directions: From the given answer figures, select the one in which the question figure is hidden/embedded.
Solution : Because there is no restriction on the rotation of the figure, we will check all the possible angles where the question figure can fit itself in the given option figures. By comparison of all the option figures, the given question figure is embedded only in the
Question : The number 150328 is divisible by 23. If the digits are rearranged in descending order and five times of 13 is subtracted from the new number thus formed, then the resultant number will be divisible by:
Option 1: 3
Option 2: 5
Option 3: 11
Option 4: 2
Correct Answer: 5
Solution : Here, the number 150328 is divisible by 23. When rearranged in descending order we get = 853210 When 5 times 13 i.e., 65 is subtracted from the new number, we get = 853210 – 65 = 853145 $\therefore$ The resultant number is divisible by 5
Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence have errors, and some are correct. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is the answer. If a sentence is error-free, your answer is "No Error".

(1) is a doctor
(2) This is the girl
(3) No Error
(4) whose brother
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : There's no error in this sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is the third option.

Question : Directions: Two dimensions of the same dice are given. What letter will be on the face opposite to the face having the letter F?
Option 1: B
Option 2: D
Option 3: C
Option 4: A
Correct Answer: B
Solution : Taking dice positions 1 and 2 with B as the common face.
Moving clockwise from the common face with B –
So, the opposite pairs are –
So, the opposite face to the face containing F is B. Hence, the first option is correct.
Question : The preferred IUPAC name of Allyl bromide is:

Option 2: 3-Bromobutene
Option 3: 2-Bromopropene
Option 4: 1-Bromopentane
Correct Answer: 3-Bromopropene
Solution : The correct option is 3-Bromopropene.
The preferred IUPAC name for allyl bromide is 3-Bromopropene.
Question : If $\cos ^2 \theta-\sin ^2 \theta=\tan ^2 \phi$, then which of the following is true?
Option 1: $\cos \theta \cos \phi=1$
Option 2: $\cos ^2 \phi-\sin ^2 \phi=\tan ^2 \theta$
Option 3: $\cos ^2 \phi-\sin ^2 \phi=\cot ^2 \theta$
Option 4: $\cos \theta \cos \phi=\sqrt{2}$
Correct Answer: $\cos ^2 \phi-\sin ^2 \phi=\tan ^2 \theta$
Solution : Given, $\cos^2\theta – \sin^2 \theta = \tan^2 \phi$ ⇒ $\frac{\cos^2 \theta – \sin^2\theta}{1} = \frac{\sin^2\phi}{\cos^2 \phi}$ ⇒ $\frac{\cos^2 \theta – \sin^2 \theta}{\cos^2\theta + \sin^2 \theta} = \frac{\sin^2\phi}{\cos^2 \phi}$ By Componendo and Dividendo, ⇒ $\frac{\cos^2 \theta}{–\sin^2 \theta} = \frac{\sin^2 \phi
Question : Directions: In the following question, find the odd number pair from the given alternatives.
Option 1: 14 – 48
Option 2: 12 – 72
Option 3: 11 – 88
Option 4: 8 – 24
Correct Answer: 14 – 48
Solution : Let's check the options – First option: 14 – 48; 48 is not divisible by 14. Second option: 12 – 72; 72 ÷ 12 = 6 Third option: 11 – 88; 88 ÷ 11 = 8 Fourth option: 8 – 24; 24 ÷
Question : What is the value of $\frac{0.74 \times 1.23 \times 0.13}{(0.37)^3+(0.41)^3-8(0.39)^3}$?
Option 1: $1$
Option 2: $-\frac{1}{3}$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{3}$
Option 4: $-1$
Correct Answer: $-\frac{1}{3}$
Solution : $\frac{0.74 \times 1.23 \times 0.13}{(0.37)^3+(0.41)^3-8(0.39)^3}$ $=\frac{0.74 \times 1.23 \times 0.13}{(0.37)^3+(0.41)^3-(0.78)^3}$ We know the identity, If $a+b+c=0$ then $a^3+b^3+c^3=3abc$ Here, $(0.37 + 0.41 - 0.78) = 0 ⇒ (0.37)^3+(0.41)^3-(0.78)^3=-3\times 0.37\times 0.41\times 0.78$ So, $\frac{0.74 \times 1.23 \times 0.13}{(0.37)^3+(0.41)^3-(0.78)^3}$ $=\frac{0.74 \times 1.23 \times 0.13}{-3\times 0.37\times 0.41\times 0.78}$
