Accepted Answer

A's share is 2/11 of the total, so A = 11000. B's share is 3/10 of the total, so B = 18150. C's share is 60500 - (11000 + 18150) = 31350.

Question 5

The animals in which the body cavity is absent are known as __________.

Accepted Answer

Acoelomates are animals that completely lack a fluid-filled body cavity (coelom) between the body wall and digestive tract. Flatworms are a common example.

Question 6

When a number is increased by 24, it becomes 104% of itself. What is the number?

Accepted Answer

Let the number be 100%. The increase of 24 equals the extra 4% (104% - 100%). Since 4% = 24, the original number (100%) is (24 / 4) × 100 = 600.

Question 7

If the expression px3 – qx2 – 7x – 6 is completely divisible by x2 – x – 6, then what is the value of p and q respectively?

Accepted Answer

The divisor x2 - x - 6 factors to (x-3)(x+2). Substituting x=3 gives 3p - q = 3. Substituting x=-2 gives 2p + q = 2. Solving these yields p=1 and q=0.

Question 8

In the following question, select the missing number from the given series. 7, 19, 42, 87, ?

Accepted Answer

The pattern is ×2 + 5, ×2 + 4, ×2 + 3, and so on. So, 87 × 2 + 2 = 174 + 2 = 176.

____________ is a cold desert lying in the Great Himalayas.

Accepted Answer

Ladakh is a high-altitude cold desert located in the Great Himalayas, known for its freezing temperatures and arid conditions. The other options are mountain ranges in central and western India.

Question 11

If x1/4 + x-1/4 = 2, then what is the value of x81 + (1/x81)?

Accepted Answer

Given x^(1/4) + 1/x^(1/4) = 2. This is only possible when x^(1/4) = 1, which means x = 1. Substituting x = 1 into x^81 + 1/x^81 gives 1 + 1 = 2.

Question 12

A sum fetched a total simple interest of Rs.5,400 at the rate of 12.5 %/yr in 4 years. What is the sum (in Rs)?

Accepted Answer

Using the formula SI = (P × R × T) / 100, we get 5400 = (P × 12.5 × 4) / 100. This simplifies to 5400 = P / 2, so P = 10800.

Question 13

The average cost of 4 items in a shopping list is Rs 1,250. If one more item whose cost is Rs 2,000 is added to the list what will be the new average (in Rs)?

Accepted Answer

Total cost of 4 items = 4 × 1250 = 5000. Adding the new item, total cost = 5000 + 2000 = 7000. New average = 7000 / 5 = 1400.

Question 14

In the following question, select the related letters from the given alternatives. JQXE : LSZG : : MTNL : ?

Accepted Answer

Each letter in the first term is shifted forward by 2 positions (+2) to get the second term. Applying +2 to MTNL gives OVPN.

Question 15

Who invented ﬁrst working laser?

Accepted Answer

Theodore H. Maiman invented the first working laser in 1960 at Hughes Research Laboratories, using a synthetic ruby crystal to produce a red laser beam.

Question 16

Which of the following pair/pairs is/are INCORRECT? I. Golden revolution - Fruits production II. Blue revolution - Increasing production of fertilizers III. Yellow revolution - For the production of eggs

Accepted Answer

Golden revolution relates to fruits/horticulture. Blue revolution is for fish production, not fertilizers (Grey). Yellow revolution is for oilseeds, not eggs (Silver). Thus, II and III are incorrect.

Question 17

To travel 432 km, an Express train takes 1 hour more than Duronto. If however, the speed of the Express train is increased by 50%, it takes 2 hours less than Duronto. What is the speed (in km/hr) of Duronto train?

Accepted Answer

Let Express speed be E. Time difference for Express is 3 hours. 432/E - 432/(1.5E) = 3, giving E = 48 km/hr. Express takes 9 hours, so Duronto takes 8 hours. Duronto speed = 432/8 = 54 km/hr.

Question 18

If Sec θ = 25/24 , then what is the value of Sin θ?

Accepted Answer

Sec θ = 25/24 means hypotenuse is 25 and adjacent is 24. Using the 7-24-25 Pythagorean triplet, the opposite side is 7. Thus, Sin θ = opposite/hypotenuse = 7/25.

Question 19
