Question : When a host is exposed to antigens, which may be in the form of living or dead microbes or other proteins, antibodies are produced in the host body. This type of immunity is called ______ immunity.
Option 1: acquired
Option 2: active
Option 3: passive
Option 4: strong
Correct Answer: active
Solution : The correct answer is active.
When a host encounters antigens, which could be living or dead microbes or other proteins, the host's body produces antibodies in response. This form of immunity is termed "active immunity." Active immunity is a gradual process and can be either

Option 2: A – B ÷ C
Option 3: A + B ÷ C
Option 4: A ÷ B + C
Correct Answer: A ÷ B + C
Solution : Given: P + Q means that P is the mother of Q. P ÷ Q means that P is the father of Q. P – Q means that P is the sister of Q.
Let's check the options – First option:
Question : A speaks the truth 5 out of 7 times and B speaks the truth 8 out of 9 times. What is the probability that they contradict each other in stating the same fact?
Option 1: $\frac{1}{7}$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{9}$
Option 3: $\frac{1}{4}$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{3}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{3}$
Solution : Probability of A speaking truth = $\frac{5}{7}$ = P(A) ⇒ Probability of A lying = $1-\frac{5}{7}$ = $\frac{2}{7}$ = P(A') Probability of B speaking truth = $\frac{8}{9}$ = P(B) ⇒ Probability of B lying = $1-\frac{8}{9}$ = $\frac{1}{9}$ = P(B') $\therefore$ Required probability = P(A)
Question : Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
It's a challenge, as you yourself said, and men find it hard to turn________challenges.
Option 1: up
Option 2: below
Option 3: down
Option 4: aside
Correct Answer: down
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Explanation:
The phrase turn down challenges is idiomatic and means to reject or refuse challenges. In the context of the sentence, the idea is that men find it difficult to decline or avoid challenges.
So, the correct
Question : Upon selling an article at $\frac{3}{7}$ of the marked price, a loss of 30% is incurred. What is the ratio between the marked price and the cost price of the article?
Option 1: 48 : 60
Option 2: 49 : 30
Option 3: 25 : 37
Option 4: 50 : 80
Correct Answer: 49 : 30
Solution : Let the cost price be Rs. 100 Selling price when sold at 30% loss = Rs. 70 Selling price = $\frac{3}{7}$ of Marked price ⇒ Marked price = $\frac{7}{3}$ of Selling price = 70 × ($\frac{7}{3})$ = $\frac{490}{3}$ Required ratio = $\frac{\frac{490}{3}}{100}=49:30$ Hence,
Question : Directions: In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative that will improve the bracketed part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select "No Improvement".
Neither the teacher nor the boys (is) in a mood to play.
(1) was
(2) are
(3) will
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the second option.
In the case of neither... nor, the verb must agree to the subject closest to it. Here, the term "boys" is plural and should be followed by a plural verb. This helps in maintaining the
Question : If $\frac{\cos \theta}{1-\sin \theta}+\frac{\cos \theta}{1+\sin \theta}=4,0^{\circ}<\theta<90^{\circ}$, then what is the value of $(\sec \theta+\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta) ?$
Option 1: $1+2 \sqrt{3}$
Option 2: $\frac{1+2 \sqrt{3}}{3}$
Option 3: $\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{3}$
Option 4: $2+\sqrt{3}$
Correct Answer: $2+\sqrt{3}$
Solution : Given, $\frac{\cos \theta}{1-\sin \theta}+\frac{\cos \theta}{1+\sin \theta}=4$ ⇒ $\frac{\cos\theta(1+\sin\theta)+\cos\theta(1-\sin\theta)}{(1+\sin\theta)(1-\sin\theta)}=4$ ⇒ $\frac{\cos\theta+\sin\theta\cos\theta+\cos\theta-\sin\theta\cos\theta}{(1+\sin\theta)(1-\sin\theta)}=4$ ⇒ $\frac{2\cos\theta}{1-\sin^2\theta}=4$ [As $\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1$] ⇒ $\frac{\cos\theta}{\cos^2\theta}=2$ ⇒ $\cos\theta=\frac{1}{2}$ ⇒ $\theta=60°$ Now, $\sec \theta+\operatorname{cosec} \theta+\cot \theta=\sec60°+\operatorname{cosec}60°+\cot60°$ $=2+\frac{2}{\sqrt3}+\frac1{\sqrt3}$ $=\frac{2\sqrt3+2+1}{\sqrt3}$ $=\frac{2\sqrt3+3}{\sqrt3}$ $=2+\sqrt3$ Hence, the correct answer is $2+\sqrt3$.
Question : a and b are two sides adjacent to the right angle of a right-angled triangle and p is the perpendicular drawn to the hypotenuse from the opposite vertex. Then p2 is equal to:
Option 1: $a^{2}+b^{2}$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{a^{2}}+\frac{1}{b^{2}}$
Option 3: $\frac{a^{2}b^{2}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}$
Option 4: $a^{2}-b^{2}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{a^{2}b^{2}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}$
Solution : In triangle ABC, The hypotenuse of the triangle, $AC=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$ The area of triangle ABC, $\frac{1}{2}\times AB \times BC=\frac{1}{2}\times AC\times BD$ $⇒\frac{1}{2}ab=\frac{1}{2}p\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$ $⇒ab=p\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$ Squaring both sides, $⇒a^2b^2=p^2(a^2+b^2)$ $⇒p^2=\frac{a^{2}b^{2}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{a^{2}b^{2}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}$.
Question : A canister holds 36 litres of a mixture of milk and water in a ratio of 3 : 1. 15 litres of milk is added to the canister. The new ratio of the mixture is:
Option 1: 12 : 5
Option 2: 14 : 3
Option 3: 7 : 4
Option 4: 9 : 4
Correct Answer: 14 : 3
Solution : Given: A canister holds 36 litres of a mixture of milk and water in a ratio of 3 : 1. Quantity of milk = $\frac{3}{4} × 36 = 27$ Quantity of water = $\frac{1}{4} × 36 = 9$ After adding 15 litres of
