Question : Directions: By interchanging the given two signs which of the following equations will be correct? + and ×
Option 1: 7 + 5 × 2 – 8 ÷ 4 = 36
Option 2: 95 ÷ 19 + 5 × 3 – 6 = 22
Option 3: 13 + 4 × 5 – 6 ÷ 2 = 51
Option 4: 4 × 3 + 6 – 7 ÷ 1 = 18
Correct Answer: 95 ÷ 19 + 5 × 3 – 6 = 22
Solution : Let's check the options – First option: 7 + 5 × 2 – 8 ÷ 4 = 36 On interchanging the given signs, the equation becomes – ⇒ 7 × 5 + 2 – 8

Question : If the simple interest on a certain sum of money is INR 11,220 at the rate of $16 \frac{1}{2} \%$ per annum for 8 years and 3 months, then what is the principal amount (in INR, rounded off to the nearest rupee)?
Option 1: 4,228
Option 2: 6,822
Option 3: 8,422
Option 4: 8,242
Correct Answer: 8,242
Solution : Simple interest (SI)= $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$ SI = INR 11,220 Rate = $16\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{33}{2}$% Time = 8 years 3 months = $8\frac{3}{12}$ = $8\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{33}{4}$ According to the question, 11220 = $\frac{\text{P×33×33}}{100×2×4}$ ⇒ P = $\frac{11220×800}{1089}$ = $\frac{8976000}{1089}$ = 8242.424 =

Question : Directions: If $\sqrt{AFI}\ :\ 13\ ::\ \sqrt{DDA}\ :\ ?$
Option 1: 12
Option 2: 22
Option 3: 21
Option 4: 24
Correct Answer: 21
Solution : Given: If $\sqrt{AFI}\ :\ 13\ ::\ \sqrt{DDA}\ :\ ?$
The position values of A, F, and I are 1, 6, and 9 respectively. On combining the place values, we get 169. Now, $\sqrt{169}\ =\ 13$ Thus, $\sqrt{AFI}$ is coded as 13. Similarly, follow the same

The percentage of students in law faculty in 2003-04 is:
Option 1: 14.8%
Option 2: 18.5%
Option 3: 15.6%
Option 4: 16.7%
Correct Answer: 15.6%
Solution : $\text{We have}$
$\text{Number of students in Law in 2003 - 04 = 250}$
$\text{Total Number students in 2003-04 = 1600 (by adding all students in 2003-04)}$
$\text{Percentage Change =}\frac{\text{Number of students in Law in 2003 - 04 }}{\text{Total Number of students in 2003-04}}\times100$

Question : If the distance between the centres of two circles is 12 cm and the radii are 5 cm and 4 cm, then the length (in cm) of the transverse common tangent is:
Option 1: $9$
Option 2: $\sqrt{143}$
Option 3: $\sqrt{63}$
Option 4: $7$
Correct Answer: $\sqrt{63}$
Solution : Given, the distance between the centres of two circles is 12 cm ($d$) and the radii are 5 cm ($r_1$) and 4 cm ($r_2$). Length of the transverse common tangent line to the circle = $\sqrt{d^2-(r_1+r_2)^2}$ = $\sqrt{12^2-(5+4)^2}$ = $\sqrt{144-81}$ = $\sqrt{63}\ \text{cm}$ Hence, the
Question : Sixteen years ago, my grandfather was 9 times older than me. Eight years from now, he will be 3 times my age. Determine the ratio of my age to my grandfather's age eight years ago.
Option 1: 3 : 8
Option 2: 2 : 5
Option 3: 1 : 2
Option 4: 1 : 5
Correct Answer: 1 : 5
Solution : 16 years ago, let my age and my grandfather's age be $x$ years and $9x$ years respectively. According to the question, $9x+16+8=3(x+16+8)$ ⇒ $9x+24=3x+48+24$ ⇒ $6x=48$ ⇒ $x=8$ Required ratio 8 years ago, = $(x+8):(9x+8)$ = (8 + 8) : (9 × 8
