Question 5

Select the most appropriate meaning of the given idiom.
A storm in a teacup

Accepted Answer

The idiom 'a storm in a teacup' refers to a situation where there is a lot of anger or worry about something that is not important. Option 2, 'Unnecessary tension', directly captures this meaning.

Question 6

Four number-pairs have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is
different. Select the number-pair that is different.

Accepted Answer

The pattern is that the second number is obtained by subtracting the cube of the sum of the digits of the first number from the first number. For options 1, 3, and 4, this pattern holds. For option 2, 4327 - (4+3+2+7)^3 = 4327 - 16^3 = 4327 - 4096 = 231, which is not 2003.

Question 7

Select the option in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of
the following set.
(16, 12, 32)

Accepted Answer

The pattern in the given set (16, 12, 32) is that the second number is 3/4 of the first number, and the third number is twice the first number. Applying this pattern to the options, only option 2 (76, 57, 176) fits, as 57 = 3/4 * 76 and 176 = 2 * 76.

The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them contains an error. Select
the part that contains the error from the given options.
Raman putted the vegetables / in the frying pan / and after adding some water, / closed the
lid.

Accepted Answer

The verb 'put' is irregular, and its past tense form is also 'put', not 'putted'. Therefore, 'Raman putted the vegetables' contains the error.

Question 20

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given
sentence. If no substitution is required, select ‘No substitution required’.
I asked Rahul that how far was his office from his home.

Accepted Answer

The sentence is in indirect speech. In indirect questions, 'that' is not used before the interrogative word (how far). Also, the clause structure should be subject + verb (his office was) and the tense should be consistent with the reporting verb (asked - past tense, so 'was' is correct, not 'is'). Option 1 correctly removes 'that' and maintains the correct word order and tense.
