Kalyan Sen answered
Substitution of a Word: Extreme Old Age

Explanation:

The given word/sentence is "Extreme old age when a man behaves like a fool" and we have to find a word that can be substituted for it. The options given are:

a) Imbecility
b) Youth
c) Dotage
d) Superannuation

Out of these options, the correct answer is "Dotage".

Dotage refers to the period of life when a person is old and weak, and often behaves in a foolish or senile manner. It is a state of decline or deterioration, especially mental decline. Some common characteristics of dotage include forgetfulness, confusion, irritability, and a tendency to repeat oneself.

Let's understand the meaning of the other options and why they are not the correct answers:

a) Imbecility: Imbecility refers to a state of being extremely stupid or mentally deficient. While it is related to mental decline, it does not specifically refer to old age.

b) Youth: Youth refers to the period of life when a person is young and full of energy, and is the opposite of old age.

d) Superannuation: Superannuation refers to the act of retiring from work, especially on reaching a certain age. While it is related to old age, it does not specifically refer to the period of mental decline and foolish behavior that is associated with dotage.

In conclusion, the correct word that can be substituted for "Extreme old age when a man behaves like a fool" is "Dotage".

If the first half of the English alphabet is reversed and then next portion of English alphabet is reversed so as 'A' takes the portion of 'M' and 'N' takes the portion of 'z' then which letter will be 6th to the left of 17th letter to the right of 7th leter from the left?
  • a)
     U
  • b)
     V
  • c)
     C
  • d)
     D
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Dia Mehta answered
6th to the left of 17th letter to the right of 7th letter from the left = 6th to the left of (17+7 =) 24th letter from the left = (24-6 =) 18th letter from the left.
Thus, we have to count from the left and we have to find out 18th letter from the left that falls into the second section of English alphabet.
Here, both the first half and the second half of the English alphabet have been reversed and we have to count from the left end, then the required letter can be found out using the formula given below. Suppose, the first and the second reversed sections of the English alphabet are α and  β respectively.Then,
The required letter = 2α+β+1−(required position of letter from left side)
Therefore, The required letter = 26 + 13 + 1 - 18 = 22 = V

When a body falls from an aeroplane, there is increase in its –
  • a)
    Acceleration  
  • b)
    Mass  
  • c)
    Kinetic energy  
  • d)
    Potential energy
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Aryan Khanna answered
  1. The energy possessed by a body by its motion is called kinetic energy.
  2. K.E = ½ × mv2 where, m = mass, v = velocity, K.E = kinetic energy.
  3. Potential Energy is possessed by its position or configuration.
  4. When a body falls from an aeroplane its velocity increases, so it's kinetic energy increases (K.E = ½ × mv2).
    Correct option is C. Kinetic Energy

  • b)
    demanded
  • c)
    required
  • d)
    desired
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Aryan Khanna answered
The correct answer is (C) Required.
Explanation:
- The (14) blank is referring to the job that the citizen needs to get done by various municipal and government departments.
- The word "essential" means absolutely necessary, which could be a possible option, but it might not convey the exact meaning in this context.
- The word "demanded" refers to something that is forcefully requested or asked for, which doesn't fit well in this context.
- The word "required" means necessary or needed, which perfectly fits the context as it refers to the tasks that the citizen needs to get done by the departments.
- The word "desired" means something that is wished for or wanted, which might not be the best choice in this context as it may imply a preference rather than a necessity.

Therefore, the most appropriate word for Blank no. 14 is "required."

The product of two numbers is 2028 and their H.C.F. is 13. The number of such pairs is:
  • a)
    1
  • b)
    2
  • c)
    3
  • d)
    5
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Faizan Khan answered
Let the numbers 13a and 13b.
Then, 13a x 13b = 2028
⇒ ab = 12.
Now, the co-primes with product 12 are (1, 12) and (3, 4).
[Note: Two integers a and b are said to be coprime or relatively prime if they have no common positive factor other than 1 or, equivalently, if their greatest common divisor is 1 ]
So, the required numbers are (13 x 1, 13 x 12) and (13 x 3, 13 x 4).
Clearly, there are 2 such pairs.

In a certain code 'PENCIL' is written as 'RCTAMJ' then in that code 'BROKEN' is written as :
  • a)
     SPFLIM
  • b)
     SVFLIN
  • c)
     FVSMGL
  • d)
     FPSMIL
  • e)
     None of these
Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?

Dia Mehta answered
The first three letters of the word are reversed. Thus PENCIL becomes NEPCIL. Now add 4 to odd-positioned letters and subtract 2 from even-positioned ones.
Similarly, BROKEN becomes ORBKEN.
Then we do the calculations: O +4, R -2, B +4, K -2, E +4, N -2
Resulting word = SPFIIL

The mass and energy equivalent to 1 a.m.u. respectively are -
  • a)
    1.67 x 10−27 g, 9.30 MeV
  • b)
    1.67 x 10−27kg, 930 MeV  
  • c)
    1.67 x 10−27kg, 1 MeV 
  • d)
    1.67 x 10−34 kg, 1 MeV
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Mass of 1 a.m.u.
The atomic mass unit (a.m.u.), also known as the unified atomic mass unit, is defined as one twelfth of the mass of an unbound neutral atom of carbon-12 in its nuclear and electronic ground state.
- The mass equivalent of 1 a.m.u. is approximately 1.67 x 10^-27 kg.
Energy Equivalent of 1 a.m.u.
Using Einstein's mass-energy equivalence principle (E=mc²), we can convert mass into energy.
- The energy equivalent for 1 a.m.u. is calculated as follows:
- E = mc²
- c (speed of light) = 3 x 10^8 m/s
- Therefore, E = (1.67 x 10^-27 kg) * (3 x 10^8 m/s)²
- This results in approximately 930 MeV.
Conclusion
Thus, the values for 1 a.m.u. are:
- Mass: 1.67 x 10^-27 kg
- Energy: 930 MeV
This confirms that the correct answer is option B.

The least multiple of 7, which leaves a remainder of 4, when divided by 6, 9, 15 and 18 is:
  • a)
    68
  • b)
    98
  • c)
    180
  • d)
    364
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Chirag Nair answered
L.C.M. of 6, 9, 15 and 18 is 90.
Let required number be 90k + 4, which is multiple of 7.
Least value of k for which (90k + 4) is divisible by 7 is k = 4.
Required number = (90 x 4) + 4 = 364.

The L.C.M. of two numbers is 48. The numbers are in the ratio 2 : 3. Then sum of the number is:
  • a)
    30
  • b)
    22
  • c)
    40
  • d)
    60
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Anaya Patel answered
Let the numbers be 2x and 3x.
Then, their L.C.M. = 6x.
So, 6x = 48 or x = 8.
The numbers are 16 and 24.
Hence, required sum = (16 + 24) = 40.

Good conductor of electricity is –
  • a)
    dry air  
  • b)
    paper  
  • c)
    kerosene  
  • d)
    graphite
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Eshaan Kapoor answered
Graphite has a tendency to behave very much like a metal because the carbon molecules arrange themselves into a lattice structure. The crystal lattice is the same orientation that metal forms, and it allows the free-movement of electrons, making it a good electrical conductor. The characteristics possesses by the graphite for conduction is far better than the dry air paper and kerosene and that's what makes it a good conductor.
