Accepted Answer

Find the total revenue for 2015 and 2016 from the given chart, then subtract the total cost of Rs 20 crores. The resulting cumulative profit is Rs 25 lakhs.

Question 3

Select the related number from the given alternatives. 99 : 101 :: 90 : ?

Accepted Answer

The pattern is based on a base of 100 (10^2). 10^2 - 1 = 99 and 10^2 + 1 = 101. Similarly, 10^2 - 10 = 90, so the next number is 10^2 + 10 = 110.

Question 4

Presence of large amounts of nutrients in waters also causes excessive growth of _________ algae.

Accepted Answer

Excess nutrients in water bodies lead to the rapid multiplication of free-floating, microscopic planktonic algae, which eventually causes algal blooms and depletes dissolved oxygen.

Question 5

Which of the following are constituents of Indian Parliament? (i) The President (ii) The Council of States (Rajya Sabha) (iii) The House of the People (Lok Sabha) ?

Accepted Answer

Article 79 of the Indian Constitution states that the Parliament consists of the President and two Houses: the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) and the House of the People (Lok Sabha).

Question 6

If (2)# * 4 = 2 and (4)# * 4 = 16, then what is the value of A in (6)# * A = 18? ?

Accepted Answer

The pattern is x³ ÷ y = z. For the first, 2³ ÷ 4 = 2. For the second, 4³ ÷ 4 = 16. Thus, 6³ ÷ A = 18, which gives 216 ÷ A = 18, so A = 12.

Question 7

The Tomara Rajputs, were defeated in the middle of the twelfth century by the Chauhans of _________.

Accepted Answer

The Tomara Rajputs, who established Delhi, were defeated by the Chauhans (Chahamanas) of Ajmer in the mid-12th century, leading to Chauhan control over Delhi.

Question 8

In triangle ABC, AD, BE and CF are the medians intersecting at point G and area of triangle ABC is 156 cm2. What is the area (in cm2) of triangle FGE?

Accepted Answer

The medians intersect at the centroid G. The area of the triangle formed by joining two midpoints and the centroid is 1/12 of the total area. Thus, 156 / 12 = 13 cm².

Question 9

Three partners A, B and C share proﬁt such that three times the share of A is equal to two times the share of B and equal to 12 times the share of C. What is the ratio of the proﬁts of A, B and C respectively?

Accepted Answer

Given 3A = 2B = 12C. Divide the entire equation by the LCM of 3, 2, and 12, which is 12. This gives A/4 = B/6 = C/1. Thus, the ratio is 4:6:1.

Question 10

What is the common name of CaOCl2?

Accepted Answer

CaOCl2 is calcium hypochlorite, commonly known as bleaching powder. It is widely used as a disinfectant for drinking water and as a bleaching agent in the textile industry.

Question 11

ΔABC is similar to ΔPQR. If ratio of perimeters of ΔABC and ΔPQR is 3:7 and if PQ = 21 cm, then the length of AB (in cm) is?

Accepted Answer

For similar triangles, the ratio of corresponding sides equals the ratio of their perimeters. Thus, AB/PQ = 3/7. Substituting PQ = 21 gives AB = (3/7) × 21 = 9 cm.

Question 12

If 18 x 12 = 206 and 19 x 22 = 408, then 23 x 36 = ? 23 x 36 = ?

Accepted Answer

The pattern is (First number × Second number) - 10. For 18 × 12 = 216 - 10 = 206. Similarly, 23 × 36 = 828 - 10 = 818.

Question 13

The substances which have very low ignition temperature and can easily catch ﬁre with a ﬂame are called _____________ substances.

Accepted Answer

Inflammable substances have a very low ignition temperature, meaning they ignite easily when exposed to a flame. Common examples include petrol, alcohol, and LPG.

Question 14

__________ was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a part of the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign.

Accepted Answer

Question 15

What will be the total number of tigers left in the six sanctuaries, if 3 tigers are killed by poachers in sanctuary E and 9 tigers are added to sanctuary A?

Accepted Answer

The net change in the tiger population is +9 (added to A) - 3 (killed in E) = +6. Adding this to the initial total of 90 gives 90 + 6 = 96 tigers.

Question 16

Select the related number from the given alternatives. 10001 : 10101 :: 101 : ?

Accepted Answer

The pattern is adding 100 to the first number. 10001 + 100 = 10101. Applying the same logic, 101 + 100 gives 201.
