The word 'major' is the most appropriate option to describe something of great importance or significance, fitting the context of a blank that likely refers to a significant aspect. The other options do not convey the same level of importance.

Question 2

C. When a button is pressed on the remote control, the chip sets off an electronic vibration. 
D. The beam carries a coded signal for operating the systems.

Accepted Answer

Sentence A introduces the topic of remote controls and silicon chips. Sentence C logically follows by explaining what happens 'When a button is pressed on the remote control'. Sentence B describes the 'infra-red beam' produced by the electronic vibration mentioned in C. Finally, D explains the function of this 'beam'.

Question 5

Select the most appropriate word to ﬁll in the blank. 
Health should be our ﬁrst priority and should never be ______.

Accepted Answer

The sentence implies that health is important and should not be ignored or given less attention. 'Neglected' means to pay no attention to or disregard, which fits the context perfectly.

Question 6

Select the most appropriate word to ﬁll in the blank. 
A colour blind person is not able to ______ between colours.

The sentence describes the inability of a colour blind person to tell the difference between colours. 'Distinguish' means to recognize or point out a difference, which perfectly fits the context.

Question 7

In a certain code language, ‘MOHAN’ is coded as 39-45-24-3-42 and ‘KABIR’ is coded
as 33-3-6-27-54. How will ‘RAGHU’ be coded in that language?

Accepted Answer

The pattern involves multiplying the positional value of each letter by 3. For MOHAN, M(13)*3=39, O(15)*3=45, H(8)*3=24, A(1)*3=3, N(14)*3=42. Applying this to RAGHU: R(18)*3=54, A(1)*3=3, G(7)*3=21, H(8)*3=24, U(21)*3=63.

Question 8

Select the option that is related to the third number in the same way as the second
number is related to the first number.
13 : 1728 :: 17 : ?

Accepted Answer

The pattern is (Number - 1)^3. For the first pair, (13 - 1)^3 = 12^3 = 1728. Applying the same logic to the second pair, (17 - 1)^3 = 16^3 = 4096.

Tall promises were being made by each promoter.

Accepted Answer

The given sentence 'Tall promises were being made by each promoter' is in the past continuous passive voice. To convert it to active voice, we need to use the past continuous active form, which is 'Subject + was/were + verb-ing + Object'. Therefore, 'Each promoter was making tall promises' is the correct active voice conversion.

Question 19

Introducing Reshma to a guest, a lady, Karishma, said, “She is the daughter of my
father-in-law’s daughter”. How is Reshma related to Karishma?

Accepted Answer

Karishma says Reshma is the daughter of her father-in-law's daughter. Karishma's father-in-law's daughter is either Karishma's sister-in-law (if her husband has a sister) or Karishma herself (if she is the only daughter of her father-in-law). If it's Karishma herself, then Reshma would be Karishma's daughter. If it's Karishma's sister-in-law, then Reshma is the daughter of Karishma's sister-in-law, making Reshma Karishma's niece.

Question 20

Four friends, H, I, J and K, are sitting at the four corners of a square facing towards the
centre. H and J are sitting at diagonally opposite corners. I is sitting to the immediate
left of H. Who is sitting to the immediate right of J?

Accepted Answer

Given H and J are diagonally opposite. I is to the immediate left of H. Since they are facing the center, if H is at the top-left, I is at the bottom-left. This leaves K at the top-right. J is at the bottom-right, and K is to J's immediate right.
