10 men or 18 women can do a piece of work in 38 days. In how many days will 6 men and 12 women do it.
  • a)
    24 days                    
  • b)
    30 days
  • c)
    36 days                    
  • d)
    40 days
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Suyash Kant answered
10 men take 38 days, so the total work is 10x38=380 man days
18 women take the same time. Total work: 18x38=684 woman-days
6 men do 6/380, or 3/190 of the work per day
12 women do 12/684, or 1/57 of the work per day
Together, they do:
171/10830 +190/10830=361/10,830 per day
Total time: 10830/361=30 days

Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Meera Rana answered
The correct answer is D) so vicious as. This is because A, B, C, and E do not grammatically make sense in the sentence, and do not sound right if you say it out loud.
It is often said that the hyena is an aggressive animal, but in fact it is not so vicious as many people believe.

I think you behaved very ----. (selfish/selfishly)
Correct answer is 'selfishly'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

  • The correct answer is 'selfishly' because it describes the behavior of a person who is concerned only with their own interests or welfare and not that of others.

  • The word 'selfish' is an adjective that describes a person or behavior that is self-centered, egocentric, or self-absorbed.

  • In the given sentence, the word 'behaved' is a verb, and it requires an adverb to describe how the person behaved.

  • The word 'selfishly' is an adverb that modifies the verb 'behaved' and describes the manner in which the person acted.

  • Therefore, the sentence means that the person acted in a manner that was only concerned with their own interests or welfare, and not that of others.

  • The use of the adverb 'selfishly' emphasizes the negative nature of the person's behavior and the impact it may have had on others.

1. It is developed by NASA
2. It is used in NF-15B aircraft
3. The IFCS Generation-I flight was first tested in 2003.
4. An artificial neural network is used in this control sytem.
Q. Which of the following statement codes are correct?
  • a)
    1 and 2 only
  • b)
    2, 3 and 4 only
  • c)
    1, 2, 3 and 4
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Diya Singh answered
Statement Analysis:
Let's analyze each statement one by one:

Statement 1: It is developed by NASA.
Statement 2: It is used in NF-15B aircraft.
Statement 3: The IFCS Generation-I flight was first tested in 2003.
Statement 4: An artificial neural network is used in this control system.

Explanation:
Statement 1: It is developed by NASA.
The Intelligent Flight Control System (IFCS) is not specifically developed by NASA. It is a general term used to describe advanced flight control systems that incorporate intelligent algorithms and technologies.
Therefore, statement 1 is incorrect.

Statement 2: It is used in NF-15B aircraft.
The NF-15B aircraft is a modified version of the F-15B Eagle aircraft used for research and development purposes. It has been used by NASA and other organizations for various flight experiments and testing. While it is possible that an Intelligent Flight Control System (IFCS) could be used in the NF-15B aircraft, the statement does not provide enough information to confirm this.
Therefore, statement 2 is ambiguous and cannot be determined as correct or incorrect.

Statement 3: The IFCS Generation-I flight was first tested in 2003.
The statement mentions the testing of the IFCS Generation-I flight in 2003. However, there is no specific information available to confirm or refute this claim. Without any supporting evidence, we cannot determine the accuracy of this statement.
Therefore, statement 3 is ambiguous and cannot be determined as correct or incorrect.

Statement 4: An artificial neural network is used in this control system.
An artificial neural network (ANN) is a type of computational model inspired by the structure and functions of biological neural networks. ANNs have been widely used in various fields, including aerospace engineering, for tasks such as control systems, pattern recognition, and optimization. It is possible that an ANN could be used in an Intelligent Flight Control System (IFCS) to enhance its capabilities and performance.
Therefore, statement 4 is plausible and could be correct.

Conclusion:
Based on the analysis, statement 1 is incorrect, statement 2 and 3 are ambiguous, and statement 4 is plausible. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' - 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Don't go up that ladder. It doesn't look ----. (safe / safely)
Correct answer is 'safe'. Can you explain this answer?

Sneha Patel answered
Explanation:

  • The word 'safe' is an adjective that describes the condition of the ladder and indicates that it may pose a danger or hazard to the person climbing it.

  • On the other hand, 'safely' is an adverb that describes the manner in which the person climbs the ladder.

  • Therefore, in the given sentence, the speaker is warning the listener about the potential danger of the ladder, not how they should climb it.

  • Thus, the correct word to use in this context is 'safe'.

  • Using 'safely' would imply that the ladder is safe to climb as long as the person climbs it in a certain way, which is not the intended meaning in this sentence.

The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (HMA), governs marriages among Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, and Buddhists in India, aiming to regulate matrimonial relationships while balancing tradition and modern values. Under Section 5, a valid Hindu marriage requires both parties to be Hindus, of sound mind, and not within prohibited degrees of relationship (e.g., siblings or close cousins) unless permitted by custom. The minimum age for marriage is 21 for the groom and 18 for the bride. Section 7 mandates that a marriage is solemnized through customary rites, such as saptapadi (seven steps around the sacred fire), which completes the marriage.
Section 13 of the HMA provides grounds for divorce, including cruelty (physical or mental), desertion for two years, adultery, or conversion to another religion. Mental cruelty includes persistent harassment or conduct causing mental agony. Section 13B allows divorce by mutual consent if both parties have lived separately for one year and agree to dissolve the marriage. Maintenance under Section 24 can be claimed by either spouse during pending proceedings, while Section 25 provides for permanent alimony post-divorce, based on the spouse’s income, needs, and conduct.
The HMA also recognizes the restitution of conjugal rights under Section 9, allowing a spouse to seek a court order directing the other to resume cohabitation, provided there is no reasonable excuse for withdrawal (e.g., cruelty or danger to life). Additionally, under Section 12, a marriage can be declared voidable if it was not consummated due to one party’s willful refusal or if consent was obtained by fraud (e.g., concealing a serious illness).
Consider the following scenarios: Priya seeks divorce from Anil, alleging he constantly belittles her in public, causing her emotional distress. In another case, Rohan and Meera, married for six months, agree to separate amicably. In a third scenario, Sunita discovers that her husband, Vikram, hid his chronic illness before their marriage.
If Anil files for restitution of conjugal rights because Priya left their home, what could be Priya’s valid defence under the HMA?
  • a)
    Anil’s high income
  • b)
    Anil’s mental cruelty
  • c)
    Her desire for independence
  • d)
    Their short marriage duration
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Crafty Classes answered
Section 9 allows restitution of conjugal rights unless there is a reasonable excuse, such as cruelty. Priya’s claim of mental cruelty is a valid defence.

Linda likes wearing ---- clothes. (colorful / colorfully)
Correct answer is 'colorful'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev GMAT answered
Introduction:
Linda is someone who enjoys wearing a specific type of clothing. In this case, we need to determine whether she prefers colorful or colorfully clothes. Let's take a closer look at the options and choose the correct one.
Explanation:
- Colorful: This is an adjective that describes something as having many colors or being full of bright hues.
- Colorfully: This is an adverb that modifies a verb or an adjective, indicating that something is done in a colorful or vibrant manner.
Choice: The correct answer is "colorful" because it describes Linda's clothes. Here's why:
- Linda likes wearing clothes that have many colors or are vibrant in appearance. This implies that her clothes are visually appealing and eye-catching.
- The word "colorful" is an adjective that directly describes the noun "clothes," indicating their characteristic of having multiple colors or being bright and vivid.
- On the other hand, if we were to use "colorfully" in this context, it would imply that Linda wears her clothes in a colorful manner rather than the clothes themselves being colorful.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, Linda prefers wearing colorful clothes. This means that her clothing choices are visually appealing, full of different hues, and stand out in a crowd.

    Restitution of conjugal rights

    Annulment due to non-consummation

Ayush Shah answered
Overview of Divorce by Mutual Consent
In the scenario involving Rohan and Meera, who have been married for six months and wish to separate amicably, the appropriate option available to them under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (HMA) is divorce by mutual consent.
Key Points about Divorce by Mutual Consent
- Section 13B of HMA: This section allows for divorce when both spouses mutually agree to dissolve the marriage.
- Time Requirement: The only requirement for filing a divorce by mutual consent is that the couple must have lived separately for one year. However, in practice, courts often allow the petition even if the separation period is less, provided both parties consent.
- Amicable Separation: Since Rohan and Meera have agreed to separate amicably, they can file for divorce under this provision without any need to prove grounds such as cruelty or desertion.
Other Options Explained
- Restitution of Conjugal Rights (Section 9): This is not applicable as Rohan and Meera wish to separate rather than resume cohabitation.
- Annulment due to Non-Consummation (Section 12): This is not relevant since there is no indication that the marriage was never consummated.
- Divorce on Grounds of Desertion: This option is not suitable as they are not alleging desertion; instead, they both agree to dissolve the marriage.
Conclusion
Thus, the correct answer is option 'A' — Divorce by mutual consent, which allows Rohan and Meera to legally end their marriage amicably.

If 36 men can do a piece of work in 25 days , in how days will 15 men do it ?

Rohan Chauhan answered
Number of days taken by 36 min =25
Number of days taken by 15 min = x
=> 15xX=36X2515xX=36X25
x=36X2515x=36X2515
x=60x=60
Hence 15 men can do it in 60 hours .

Directions: In this question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. Consider the statement and decide which of the given assumptions is implicit. 
Statement:
‘I do not think the use or misuse of expensive gadgets, modern technology and the likes defines our generation. On the other hand, we are also intellectually superior than our previous generations as we’re more receptive to change, we like experimenting and the gadgets and technology are just the culmination of such traits.’– Mr Prakash during a debate on ‘Whether we control technology or the technology controls us’.
Assumptions: 
I. Being receptive to change and continuous experimentation leads to intellectual superiority.
II. The use of expensive gadgets leads to intellectual superiority.
  • a)
    If only assumption I is implicit 
  • b)
    If only assumption II is implicit
  • c)
    If either I or II is implicit 
  • d)
    If neither I nor II is implicit 
  • e)
    If both I and II are implicit
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Partho Pillai answered
Understanding the Statement
The statement by Mr. Prakash emphasizes a perspective on technology and intellectual growth. It suggests that our generation's identity is not solely defined by the use of modern gadgets but rather by our adaptability and willingness to experiment.
Analysis of Assumptions
- Assumption I: "Being receptive to change and continuous experimentation leads to intellectual superiority."
- This assumption aligns with Mr. Prakash's argument. He explicitly states that our generation is "intellectually superior" because we are more receptive to change and like experimenting. Thus, this assumption is implicit in the statement.
- Assumption II: "The use of expensive gadgets leads to intellectual superiority."
- This assumption is not supported by the statement. Mr. Prakash argues against the notion that gadgets define our generation's intellect, implying that the mere use of technology does not equate to intellectual superiority.
Conclusion
Given the analysis:
- Only Assumption I is implicit in the statement, as it reflects the core idea presented by Mr. Prakash regarding the relationship between adaptability and intellectual growth.
- Assumption II is not implicit, as it contradicts the main argument.
Thus, the correct answer is option A: If only assumption I is implicit.

The cupboard was ---- big ---- fit through the door, so we had to take it apart first.
  • a)
     too / to
  • b)
    more / than
  • c)
    so / that
  • d)
    enough / to
  • e)
    as / as
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Roma Patel answered
Explanation:

The sentence talks about a situation where the cupboard was too big to fit through the door, so the speaker had to take it apart first. The correct answer is option 'A', which uses the phrase "too big" to convey the idea that the size of the cupboard was excessive and made it impossible to move it through the door.

Let's analyze the other options:

- Option 'B' uses the comparative form "more than," which implies a comparison between the size of the cupboard and something else. However, there is no comparison made in the sentence, so this option is incorrect.
- Option 'C' uses the conjunction "so that," which is used to indicate the purpose or result of an action. However, in this sentence, there is no action being taken, so this option is also incorrect.
- Option 'D' uses the phrase "enough to," which means that the cupboard was sufficiently big to fit through the door. However, this contradicts the idea expressed in the sentence, so this option is incorrect.
- Option 'E' uses the phrase "as as," which is used for comparisons of equality. However, there is no comparison being made in the sentence, so this option is incorrect.

In summary, the correct answer is option 'A' because it accurately conveys the idea that the cupboard was too big to fit through the door.

Multiple Independent Re-entry Vehicles (MIRVs) are used in Agni-V missile made by DRDO, consider the following statements in regard to MIRVs.
1. Under it, each missile will be capable of carrying 2-10 separate nuclear warheads.
2. Under it, each warhead can be assigned to a different target.
3. Under it, two or more warheads can be assigned to the same target.
Q. Which of the following statements is/are correct?
  • a)
    1 only
  • b)
    2 only
  • c)
    2 and 3 only
  • d)
    1, 2 and 3
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Debolina Yadav answered

Explanation:

1. Each missile capable of carrying multiple warheads:
- MIRVs are designed to carry multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles (MIRVs), which means that each missile can carry 2-10 separate nuclear warheads.
- This capability allows a single missile to target multiple locations or to overwhelm a missile defense system by releasing multiple warheads.

2. Warheads can be assigned to different targets:
- One of the key features of MIRVs is that each warhead can be assigned to a different target.
- This increases the flexibility and effectiveness of the missile system, as it can strike multiple targets simultaneously.

3. Multiple warheads can be assigned to the same target:
- While each warhead can be assigned to a different target, it is also possible for two or more warheads to be assigned to the same target.
- This redundancy ensures a higher probability of successful target destruction, even in the face of potential missile defense systems.

Therefore, all three statements are correct, making option 'D' the correct answer.

There was a ---- change in the weather. (sudden / suddenly)
Correct answer is 'sudden'. Can you explain this answer?

Explanation:

The correct answer is 'sudden' because in this sentence we are describing the type of change that occurred in the weather. The word 'sudden' is an adjective that describes something happening quickly and without warning.

The word 'suddenly' is an adverb, which is used to describe how an action is performed. It is used to modify a verb, adjective, or other adverb to indicate that something is done in a sudden or unexpected manner.

In the given sentence, we are not describing how the change in the weather happened, but rather the nature of the change itself. We are looking for an adjective to describe the change, not an adverb to describe how it occurred.

Using the word 'sudden' emphasizes the unexpected and rapid nature of the change in the weather. It implies that there was a significant and noticeable shift in the weather conditions within a short period of time.

Furthermore, the word 'sudden' is commonly used to describe changes in weather, as it effectively conveys the idea of an abrupt and unforeseen shift in atmospheric conditions. It is a more appropriate word choice in this context.

Overall, the correct answer is 'sudden' because it accurately describes the type of change that occurred in the weather.

The roots of the old tree spread out ---- thirty meters in all directions and damaged nearby buildings.

  • c)
    so much
  • d)
    so many as
  • e)
    much more
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev GMAT answered

To find the correct answer in this sentence completion question, we need to identify the appropriate phrase that will complete the sentence logically and grammatically. Let's analyze the given options:
A:
too much

This option does not fit in the context of the sentence. "Too much" implies an excessive amount, which does not make sense when describing the spreading of tree roots.
B:
as much as

This option is the correct answer. "As much as" is used to compare quantities or measurements, indicating that the tree roots spread out in the same extent or distance in all directions.
C:
so much

This option is not suitable in this context. "So much" is used to express a high degree or quantity, which does not convey the intended meaning of the sentence.
D:
so many as

This option is grammatically incorrect because it uses "so many" to refer to the spreading of tree roots. Trees do not have a quantifiable number of roots, so this option is not appropriate.
E:
much more

This option does not fit the context of the sentence. "Much more" implies a greater amount or quantity, which is not necessary to describe the spreading of tree roots.
Therefore, the correct answer is B: as much as, indicating that the roots of the old tree spread out in the same extent or distance in all directions.

Use the adjective or adverb form of the word.
The driver of the car was ---- injured. (serious / seriously)
Correct answer is 'seriously'. Can you explain this answer?

Shagun Gupta answered
Explanation:

- The sentence describes the condition of the driver, specifically the degree of injury sustained.
- In this case, the word 'injured' is a verb in passive voice, which means it requires an adjective or adverb to describe the extent or manner of the action.
- 'Serious' is an adjective which means grave or critical, while 'seriously' is an adverb which means severely or critically.
- Since the sentence refers to the degree of injury, the appropriate word to use is 'seriously', which describes the intensity or severity of the condition.

The earth’s satellite is kept moving in its orbit. It is due to the phenomenon of centripetal force provided by
  • a)
    the rocket engine propelling the satellite
  • b)
    the gravitational attraction of the earth on the satellite
  • c)
    the gravitational attraction of the sun on the satellite
  • d)
    the gravitational attraction of satellite on earth
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Dishani Sarkar answered
An orbiting satellite is a projectile, that the only force acting upon an oribiting satellite is the force of gravity. The force of gravity also accelerates it towards the earth. But the earth's round shape prevents it to fall on ground and if the satellite is in more than 8000 m/s speed it also contributes to the maintenance of motion in a particular orbit or elliptical path.

The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (HMA), governs marriages among Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, and Buddhists in India, aiming to regulate matrimonial relationships while balancing tradition and modern values. Under Section 5, a valid Hindu marriage requires both parties to be Hindus, of sound mind, and not within prohibited degrees of relationship (e.g., siblings or close cousins) unless permitted by custom. The minimum age for marriage is 21 for the groom and 18 for the bride. Section 7 mandates that a marriage is solemnized through customary rites, such as saptapadi (seven steps around the sacred fire), which completes the marriage.
Section 13 of the HMA provides grounds for divorce, including cruelty (physical or mental), desertion for two years, adultery, or conversion to another religion. Mental cruelty includes persistent harassment or conduct causing mental agony. Section 13B allows divorce by mutual consent if both parties have lived separately for one year and agree to dissolve the marriage. Maintenance under Section 24 can be claimed by either spouse during pending proceedings, while Section 25 provides for permanent alimony post-divorce, based on the spouse’s income, needs, and conduct.
The HMA also recognizes the restitution of conjugal rights under Section 9, allowing a spouse to seek a court order directing the other to resume cohabitation, provided there is no reasonable excuse for withdrawal (e.g., cruelty or danger to life). Additionally, under Section 12, a marriage can be declared voidable if it was not consummated due to one party’s willful refusal or if consent was obtained by fraud (e.g., concealing a serious illness).
Consider the following scenarios: Priya seeks divorce from Anil, alleging he constantly belittles her in public, causing her emotional distress. In another case, Rohan and Meera, married for six months, agree to separate amicably. In a third scenario, Sunita discovers that her husband, Vikram, hid his chronic illness before their marriage.
Priya’s claim of Anil’s public belittling causing emotional distress would most likely be classified as which ground for divorce under the HMA?
  • a)
    Adultery
  • b)
    Mental cruelty
  • c)
    Desertion
  • d)
    Conversion

She fell and hurt herself quite ----.(bad / badly)
Correct answer is 'badly'. Can you explain this answer?

Akshay Khanna answered
Explanation:

Adverb Usage:
- In this sentence, "badly" is the correct choice because it is modifying the verb "hurt," which describes the action of falling.
- Adverbs are used to modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. In this case, "badly" is modifying the verb "hurt" to describe the extent of the injury.

Adjective vs. Adverb:
- "Bad" is an adjective that describes nouns, while "badly" is an adverb that describes verbs.
- Since we are describing how she hurt herself (verb), we need to use the adverb "badly" instead of the adjective "bad."

Adverbs of Manner:
- Adverbs of manner describe how an action is done. In this sentence, "badly" describes the manner in which she hurt herself after falling.
- Adverbs of manner often end in "-ly" and provide more information about the action being performed.
Using "bad" in this sentence would be incorrect because it would not properly describe the manner in which she hurt herself after falling. Therefore, "badly" is the correct choice to convey the extent of the injury.

This sentence requires a comparison between two things: digital voice discs (DVDs) and records. Specifically, it asks which of the two is more resistant to scratching.

Answer:
The correct answer is option D: "far more / than." This choice suggests that DVDs are significantly more resistant to scratching than records.

Explanation:
To understand why option D is the best choice, it's helpful to consider the other options:

- Option A: "much / than" - This choice implies that DVDs are more resistant to scratching than records, but it doesn't suggest a significant difference in degree.
- Option B: "so / as" - This choice suggests that DVDs and records are equally resistant to scratching, which contradicts the idea that DVDs are supposed to be more scratch-resistant.
- Option C: "such / that" - This choice is similar to option A in that it suggests that DVDs are more resistant to scratching than records, but it doesn't imply a significant difference.
- Option E: "many more / that" - This choice is awkwardly phrased and doesn't make sense in the context of the sentence.

Therefore, option D is the best choice because it clearly suggests that DVDs are far more resistant to scratching than records.

Conclusion:
When comparing digital voice discs (DVDs) to records in terms of scratch resistance, the correct answer is option D: "far more / than." This choice implies a significant difference in degree between the two types of media.

Pallavi Sharma answered

Explanation:

Adverb usage:
- In this sentence, the adverb 'terribly' is used to describe the degree of Rose's upset feelings.
- Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, providing more information about how, when, where, or to what extent something is done.

Adjective vs. Adverb:
- Adjectives describe nouns or pronouns, while adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
- In this case, 'terribly' is used to describe how upset Rose is feeling (describing the verb 'upset').

Comparison:
- In this context, 'terribly' is more appropriate than 'terrible'.
- 'Terribly' emphasizes the intensity or extent of Rose's upset feelings, conveying a stronger emotional response compared to 'terrible'.

Corrected sentence:
- Rose is terribly upset about losing her job.
- This revised sentence accurately conveys the depth of Rose's emotions regarding the job loss.

Both the statements regarding Indian Polar Research stations are incorrect. India's first expedition to Antarctica was in 1981, she expanded it by undertaking its first Arctic expedition in August 2007 by setting up 'Himadri' at Nye–Alesund in Norway in 2008 to mark the International Polar Year (IPY). The first Antarctic research station was Gangotri (1983) and second was Maitri (1989). 'Bharti' or 'Bharthi' is the third Antarctic station at Larsemann in East Antarctica.
