The correct answer is Option 2, i.e. "determined to expand"

Key Points

• 'Determined' is used here as a participle adjective. It is not used here as a verb.
• "Determined to expand" uses the correct preposition "to" which is used with "determined" when followed by a verb, indicating intention or resolution.
• This phrase correctly constructs the sentence to express her resolution to grow her vegetable business.
  • Example: "He is determined to complete the project on time."

Therefore, the correct sentence is- "She is determined to expand her vegetable business."

Important Points

• Option 1 "determined at expansion" can be correct. We have to change the whole sentence.
• She is determined at the expansion of her vegetable business.
• Option 3 "determining for expanding" is not correct because "determining" does not appropriately follow with "for expanding" in this context; "determined" is the correct word choice.
• We use gerund when it indicates that the action is completed. When it indicates that the action will be completed, we use infinitive.

The correct answer is: Ineffective.

Key Points

• The word "cogent" means something that is clear, logical, and convincing. (प्रभावशाली)
  • Example: Her cogent arguments during the debate won her many supporters.
• "Ineffective" refers to something that does not produce the desired effect or outcome; it is the opposite of being convincing or strong. (अप्रभावी)
  • Example: The ineffective measures taken by the management did not solve the problem.
• Hence, we can infer that the opposite of 'cogent' is 'ineffective'.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Ineffective.

• The word "principal" in S1 refers to the head of the school, which is correct.
• In S2, the word "principal" should be "principle" because it refers to a fundamental truth or proposition, which is incorrect in the given context.

• Option 2: S1 is wrong and S2 is right - Incorrect. S1 correctly uses "principal" as the head of the school, while S2 wrongly uses "principal" instead of "principle."
• Option 3: Both S1 and S2 are wrong - Incorrect. S1 correctly uses "principal."
• Option 4: Both S1 and S2 are right - Incorrect. "Principal" in S2 is incorrectly used and should be "principle."

  • Example: The kids made a mess while playing with their toys.

According to the given information:

Statements:
I. A $ J
II. J % R
III. P @ R
On converting: A ≤ J, J > R, P < R
On combining: A ≤ J > R > P
Conclusions:
I. J % P → J > P → True (as A ≥ J > R < P → J > P)
II. P * A → T = M → False (as A ≥ J > R < P → relation between P and A cannot be determined)
Hence, conclusions I is true.

As per the information,

Given: L @ S * J ^ B U # W R < E @ N $ # B * H ! A & L < W Q

• Symbols each of which is immediately followed by a consonant and immediately preceded by a vowel are:

(Left) L @ S * J ^ B U # W R < E @ N $ # B * H ! A & L < W Q (Right)

Clearly, there are three symbols that follow the given condition: U # W, E @ N, A & L.

Hence, the correct answer is "3".

Given Statements:
All breads are cakes.
Some cakes are pastries.
All pastries are toffees.

Conclusions:
I. All cakes are toffees. - False (Because, No definite relation given between cake and toffees, so it can be possible only).
II. No bread is a pastry - False (Because, No definite relation given between breads and pastries and there is no negative statement given, so it can be possible only).
So, Neither conclusion I nor II follow.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Let's create the order using the information given,

1) H is the highest scorer.

2) D is the 5^th highest scorer.

H > _ > _ > D > _ > _ > _ > _

3) G scored more than A, but less than D.

4) A is not the least scorer.

H > _ > _ > _ > D > G > A > _

5) B scored more than C, but less than F.

6) C scored more than G.

H > F > B > C > D > G > A > _

So, the final ranking of the batsmen on the basis of their scores is,

H > F > B > C > D > G > A > E

Here, we can see that the least scorer is E.

Hence, the correct answer is " E ".

The answer figure that will complete the pattern in the given question figure is as follows:

Either Rajesh or Shiva is sitting at the right end.
Hence, "The facts in Statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question".

Given:

The average salary per employee in the sales department is Rs. 350.

The average salary of 10 senior employees is Rs. 450 per employee.

The average salary of the remaining staff is Rs. 250 per employee.

Formula:

Average = (Sum of observations)/(Number of observations)

The sum of observations = Average × Number of observations

Calculation:

Let the total number of employees in the sales department be x.

The sum of salaries of all the employees in the sales department is:

(10 × 450) + (x - 10) × 250

The average salary per employee is given as Rs. 350, so we can write:

350 = [(10 × 450) + (x - 10) × 250]/x

Multiplying both sides by x, we get:

350x = (10 × 450) + (x - 10) × 250

Expanding the right-hand side, we get:

350x = 4500 + 250x - 2500

Simplifying and solving for x, we get:

100x = 2000

x = 20

Therefore, the total number of employees working in the sales department is 20.

Given:

Initial ratio of liquid A and B in the bucket = 16 : 17

The final ratio of liquid A and B in bucket = 5 : 6

Calculation:

Let the initial quantities of A and B be 16x and 17x.

Quantity of liquid A taken out = 132 × = 64 litre

Quantity of liquid B taken out = 132 - 64 = 68 litre

Final quantity of B after addition = 17x - 68 + 132 = 17x + 64

Final quantity of A = 16x - 64

According to the question,

⇒

⇒ 96x - 384 = 85x + 320

⇒ 11x = 704

⇒ x = 64

So, Initial quantity of B = 64 × 17 = 1088 litres

∴The answer is 1088.

Given:

A, B and C invest capitals in a business in the ratio 8 ∶ 3 ∶ 9.

At the end of every quarter, A halves his capital, whereas B doubles his capital and C leaves his capital as it is. At the end of a year, C's share in the total profit is ₹ 9,60,000.

Concept used:

Profit is always divided according to the ratio of the investment made.

Calculation:

Let the common ratio be Q.

Hence, the initial investments of A, B, and C are 8Q, 3Q, and 9Q respectively.

During the one year period,

Investment of A = 8Q × 1/4 + 4Q × 1/4 + 2Q × 1/4 + Q × 1/4 = 15Q/4

Investment of B = 3Q × 1/4 + 6Q × 1/4 + 12Q × 1/4 + 24Q × 1/4 = 45Q/4

Investment of C = 9Q

Ratio of their investment

⇒ 15Q/4 : 45Q/4 : 9Q

⇒ 15 : 45 : 36

⇒ 5 : 15 : 12

Hence, the total profit = 9,60,000 ÷ = Rs. 25,60,000

Thus, B's share = 25,60,000 × = Rs. 12,00,000

∴ B's share of the total profit is Rs. 12,00,000.

Given:

Total people = 150

Average age of men = 50 years

Formula used:

Average = Sum of values/Number of values

Calculation:

Total men in the group = (2/5) × 150 = 60

Total women in the group = (1/3) × 150 = 50

Total children in the group = 150 – 60 – 50 = 40

Average age of men = 50 (given)

Average age of women = (4/5) × 50 = 40

Average age of children = (1/5) × 50 = 10

Now, Total age of men in the group = 60 × 50 = 3000

Total age of women in the group = 50 × 40 = 2000

Total age of children in the group = 40 × 10 = 400Total age of all persons in the group = 3000 + 2000 + 400 = 5400

Average age of persons in the group = 5400/150 = 36

∴ The average age of all the people in the group is 36

The correct answer is North Korea.

In an LLP, the annual accounts need to be audited only if the turnover of the LLP exceeds Rs. 40 lakh or the contribution of the LLP exceeds Rs. 25 lakh. If the LLP does not meet these thresholds, there is no mandatory requirement for an audit.
Example: If an LLP has a turnover of Rs. 35 lakh and a contribution of Rs. 20 lakh, it is not required to undergo an annual accounts audit. However, if the turnover exceeds Rs. 40 lakh or the contribution exceeds Rs. 25 lakh, the LLP will need to engage a chartered accountant to audit its annual accounts. 

One limitation of the piece wage system is that workers may prioritize quantity over quality. Since their wages are directly linked to the number of units produced, they may be less concerned about the quality of the goods or products they are producing. This can result in a decrease in the overall quality of the output.

Examples of preventive costs of labour turnover are costs incurred to keep the workers satisfied and discourage them from leaving the concern. These costs include costs of providing medical services, personnel administration costs, costs of labour welfare activities, and costs incurred for providing pension, provident fund, and retirement schemes.
