Question : The orthocentre of a triangle lies on one of the sides. Then:
Option 1: The orthocentre lies on a vertex
Option 2: Circumcentre lies outside the triangle
Option 3: Circumcentre lies on the same side
Option 4: Centroid coincides with orthocentre
Correct Answer: The orthocentre lies on a vertex
Solution : If the orthocentre of a triangle lies on the side, then it lies on the vertex. Hence, the correct answer is 'The orthocentre lies on a vertex.'
Question : Two candidates A and B contested in an election. 80% of the voters cast their votes, out of which 2% of the votes were invalid. A got 9,408 votes which was 60% of the valid votes. Find the total number of votes.
Option 1: 12,000
Option 2: 22,000
Option 3: 20,000
Option 4: 21,000
Correct Answer: 20,000
Solution : Let $x$ be the total number of votes. Number of votes casted = 80% of $x$ = $\frac{80}{100}×x$ Number of invalid votes = 2% of votes cast Number of valid votes = 98% of votes cast= $\frac{98}{100}×\frac{80}{100}×x$ Number of votes A got = 60% of
Question : Directions: In the following question, a sentence is given with a blank that is to be filled in with an appropriate word. Four alternatives are suggested; choose the correct alternative out of them as your answer.

The meanings of the
Question : 12 copies of a book were sold for Rs. 1700, thereby gaining the cost price of 3 copies. The cost price of a copy of the book is:
Option 1: Rs. 120
Option 2: Rs. 150
Option 3: Rs. 1200
Option 4: Rs. 1500
Correct Answer: Rs. 120
Solution : Let the cost price of 1 book = Rs. $x$ Selling price of 12 books = Rs. 1800 Gain = $3x$ Selling price of 12 books – Cost price of 12 books = Gain ⇒ $1800−12x=3x$ ⇒ $1800=12x+3x$ ⇒ $1800=15x$ ⇒ $x=120$ ∴ Cost
Question : Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word in the given sentence.
The list included many mundane, routine tasks.
Option 1: standard
Option 2: temporal
Option 3: customary
Option 4: exceptional

Mundane is something that is ordinary or lacking in excitement.
Excitement refers to a state of heightened emotions. While "mundane" represents something that is uneventful, excitement is used to represent a state of enthusiasm, making it the
Question : $D$ is a point on the side $BC$ of a triangle $ABC$ such that $AD\perp BC$. $E$ is a point on $AD$ for which $AE:ED=5:1$. If $\angle BAD=30^{\circ}$ and $\tan \left ( \angle ACB \right )=6\tan \left ( \angle DBE \right )$, then $\angle ACB =$
Option 1: $30^{\circ}$
Option 2: $45^{\circ}$
Option 3: $60^{\circ}$
Option 4: $15^{\circ}$
Correct Answer: $60^{\circ}$
Solution :
Given that $AE:ED=5:1$, $\angle BAD=30^{\circ}$ and $\tan \left ( \angle ACB \right )=6\tan \left ( \angle DBE \right )$ Let $AE$ and $ED$ be $5x,x$. So, $DE=x, AE=5x$ and $AD=6x$ In $\triangle ABD$, $\angle ABD+\angle BAD=90^{\circ}$ ⇒ $\angle ABD =90^{\circ}-\angle BAD$ ⇒ $\angle ABD =90^{\circ}-30^{\circ}=60^{\circ}$
Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No error".
One of my friend (1) / is returning (2) / to India from the U.S.A. (3) / No error. (4)
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
"One of my friend" is grammatically incorrect. It should be replaced with one of my friends as the speaker is referring to a single friend out of all the friends the speaker has.
Therefore, the
Question : If $\cos\theta+\sin\theta=m$ and $\sec\theta+\operatorname{cosec \theta}=n$, then the value $n\left ( m^{2}-1 \right )$ is equal to:
Option 1: $2m$
Option 2: $mn$
Option 3: $4mn$
Option 4: $2n$
Correct Answer: $2m$
Solution : We know that $\cos\theta+\sin\theta=m$ and $\sec\theta+\operatorname{cosec \theta}=n$. $⇒n\left ( m^{2}-1 \right ) = \left(\frac{1}{\cos\theta}+\frac{1}{\sin\theta}\right)\left((\cos\theta+\sin\theta)^{2}-1\right)$ $⇒n\left ( m^{2}-1 \right ) = \left(\frac{1}{\cos\theta}+\frac{1}{\sin\theta}\right)\left(\cos^{2}\theta+2\sin\theta\cos\theta+\sin^{2}\theta-1\right)$ We know that $\cos^{2}\theta+\sin^{2}\theta=1$, $⇒n\left ( m^{2}-1 \right ) = \left(\frac{1}{\cos\theta}+\frac{1}{\sin\theta}\right)\left(2\sin\theta\cos\theta\right)$ $⇒n\left ( m^{2}-1 \right ) = 2\sin\theta\cos\theta\left(\frac{1}{\cos\theta}+\frac{1}{\sin\theta}\right)$ $⇒n\left ( m^{2}-1 \right ) =
Question : The angle of elevation of an aeroplane as observed from a point 30 metres above the transparent water surface of a lake is 30° and the angle of the depression of the image of the aeroplane in the water of the lake is 60°. The height of the aeroplane from the water surface of the lake is:
Option 1: 60 metres
Option 2: 45 metres
Option 3: 50 metres
Option 4: 75 metres
Correct Answer: 60 metres
Solution : AB = transparent water surface then according to question, $\triangle$CPM = 30°; $\angle$C'PM = 60° CM = $h$ CB = Height of the aeroplane from the water surface of the lake = $h + 30$ $\therefore$ C'B = $h + 30$ In $\triangle$CMP, tan
