Question 2

If PONDERS is coded as ONCDQR, then how will MAT be coded as?

Accepted Answer

The logic is to subtract 1 from the alphabetical position of each letter. M (13) - 1 = L (12). A (1) - 1 = Z (26, wrapping around). T (20) - 1 = S (19). Thus, MAT is coded as LZS.

Question 3

Which is the only one example of Mollusca Phylum?

Accepted Answer

Octopus belongs to the phylum Mollusca, characterized by soft bodies. Locusts, butterflies, and scorpions belong to the phylum Arthropoda, known for their jointed appendages.

Question 4

If 3 % 2 = 50, 2 % 4 = 60 then what is the value of 5 % 4 = ?

Accepted Answer

The pattern is (A + B) × 10. For 3 % 2, (3+2)×10 = 50. For 2 % 4, (2+4)×10 = 60. Thus, 5 % 4 = (5+4)×10 = 90.

Question 5

Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritwa Abhiyan provides facility of free health check-up and required treatment on _____ day of every month.

Accepted Answer

The Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritwa Abhiyan (PMSMA) guarantees a minimum package of antenatal care services to pregnant women on the 9th of every month.

Accepted Answer

ROM (Read-Only Memory) is non-volatile, meaning it retains its data even when the computer is powered off, making it permanent storage. RAM and Cache are volatile.

Question 7

Improve the bracketed part of the sentence. The equipment is (adapted to) cotton industries.

Accepted Answer

The correct preposition to use with 'adapted' when referring to purpose or suitability is 'for'. Thus, 'adapted for' is correct.

Question 8

In what ratio sugar at Rs 30/kg should be mixed with sugar at Rs 45/kg so that on selling the mixture at Rs 42/kg there is a profit of 20%?

Accepted Answer

Cost price of the mixture = 42 / 1.2 = Rs 35/kg. Using alligation on the cost prices: (45 - 35) : (35 - 30) = 10 : 5 = 2 : 1.

Question 9

What is the sum of the ﬁrst 12 terms of an arithmetic progression if the ﬁrst term is -19 and last term is 36?

Accepted Answer

Use the AP sum formula: S = n/2 × (a + l). Here, n = 12, a = -19, and l = 36. So, S = 12/2 × (-19 + 36) = 6 × 17 = 102.

Question 10

If 6 @ 4 @ 7 = 101 and 2 @ 5 @ 11 = 150, then what is the value of A in A @ 8 @ 9 = 289?

Accepted Answer

The pattern is the sum of the squares of the numbers. A^2 + 8^2 + 9^2 = 289. So, A^2 + 145 = 289, which gives A^2 = 144, meaning A = 12.

Question 11

The 2nd and 8th term of an arithmetic progression are 17 and -1 respectively. What is the 14th term?

Accepted Answer

Let the first term be a and common difference d. a+d=17 and a+7d=-1. Solving gives d=-3 and a=20. The 14th term is a+13d = 20+13(-3) = -19.

Question 12

If CHANTED is coded as ZEXKQBA, then how will MAY be coded as?

Accepted Answer

Each letter in the word is shifted backward by 3 positions in the alphabetical series. Thus, M-3 = J, A-3 = X, and Y-3 = V, giving JXV.

Question 13

In what ratio does the point T(x, 0) divide the segment joining the points S(5, 1) and U(-1, -2)?

Accepted Answer

The y-coordinate of T is 0. Using the section formula for y, 0 = (m(-2) + n(1)) / (m + n). This gives 2m = n, so the ratio m:n is 1:2.

Question 14

In the following question, select the related word pair from the given alternatives. Heart : Organ : : ? : ?

Accepted Answer

The heart is classified as an organ in the human body. Following the same 'Item : Category' relationship, eyes are also classified as organs.

Question 15

It is difficult to fix a nail on a freely suspended wooden frame. Which law supports this statement? ?
