The RBI’s “Finances of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs)” report analyzes data from 2.58 lakh Panchayats for 2020-21 to 2022-23, highlighting key findings. Panchayats heavily rely on grants (95%) due to limited own revenue sources like property taxes. Inter-state variations in devolution impact socio-economic outcomes. Inconsistent data poses challenges in assessing fiscal health. PRIs struggle with local tax revenue generation due to a limited tax base, administrative issues, and unclear guidelines. Revenue sources include Central and State government grants, and PRIs have the authority to impose taxes and fees.

Let us first learn the meanings of the given words:
Enhancement (noun): an increase or improvement in quality, value, or extent.
Modified (adjective): revised or changed.
Amendments (noun): a minor change or addition designed to improve a text, piece of legislation, etc.
Since the context is that the changes are in the bill, noun ‘amendments’ is the perfect fit contextually and grammatically.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.

According to the given context, it is clear that we are talking about the workers who are working tirelessly to finish an order since very little time is there for the company to get over with it.
 
A steal: A bargain that is very inexpensive 
 
Against the clock: Rushed and short on time 
 
All and sundry: Without making any distinction 
 
Add fuel to the fire: Whenever something is done in order to make a bad situation worse 
 
According to the given context, we can use option B in the blank here to express that the workers in the company are working very fast and tirelessly to deliver the order on time.

This makes option B the correct choice among the given options.

Let us first learn the meanings of the given words:

Reverberate (verb): be repeated several times.

Echo (verb): repeat (someone's words or opinions), typically to express agreement.

Resonate (verb): to produce or be filled with clear, continuing sound.

The idea here is to express that the end of FTX is a continuous topic of discussion, thus all the options are apt contextually and grammatically.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

∠DAC = ∠B + ∠C
(Exterior angle prop. of a Δ ABC)
According to question,
130° = 2A + 3A
5A = 130°
A = 26°
∴ ∠B = 52°; ∠C = 78°

Either you can make a fraction from two whole numbers (denominator ≠ 0), thus a rational number. Or you can't, thus irrational.

Correct option is B. 
( 1/4-1/9 )x9/25x-8/27
5/36x9/25x-8/27
-2/135

The distance covered in the various phases of his travel would be:
10 km + 25 km + 50 km + 60 km. Thus the total distance covered = 145 km in 2 hours 50 minutes
Æ
145 km in 2.8333 hours Æ 51.18 kmph

The A.P. is -3, -1/2, 2 …
Where a = – 3
d = a(2) – a(1) = (-1 / 2) - (-3)
⇒ (-1 / 2) + 3 = 5 / 2
a(n) = a + (n−1) x d
a(11) = 3 + (11-1) x (5 / 2)
a(11) = 3 + (10) x (5 / 2)
a(11) = -3 + 25
a(11) = 22

Using Rule 1 :
1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,
Required number

Hence, Option A is correct.

As per the given information;

Distance between S and P = √(PQ² + QS²)
SP = √(6² + 8²)
SP = √(36 + 64)
SP = √100
SP = 10 km
Hence, S is 10 km in South-East with respect to P.

The logic follows here is:

Now,

Karan is 17 years old, has a weight of 47 kgs, and a height of 161 cms.

It is clearly mentioned in the criteria of Physical in Sub-inspector and Army recruitment about the weight and height of the candidate. Karan has a weight of 47 kgs and a height of 161 cms which is less than the criteria set for both the recruitment. Therefore, Karan neither qualifies for Physical in Sub-inspector and Army recruitment.

Hence, the correct answer is "Neither Sub-inspector nor Army recruitment".

The meaning of synonym is Similar.

Similarly;

The meaning of Opposite is Adverse.

Hence, "Adverse" is the correct answer.

Additional Information

The Symbol table is as follows:

1) Rajiv is the brother of Atul.

2) Atul is the son of Sonia.

Implies, Rajiv is also the son of Sonia.

3) Sonia is the sister of Sunil.

Implies, Sunil is the maternal uncle of Rajiv and Atul.

Hence, Rajiv is the "son" of Sonia.

Preparing the family tree using the following symbols:

On decoding L θ Z β T means L is the mother of Z and Z is the sister of T.

i) L is mother of T → True
ii) L is father of T → False (as L is mother of T) 
iii) T is father of L → False (as T is either son or daughter of L)
iv) Z is daughter of T → False (as Z is sister of T)
Hence, 'L is mother of T' is the correct answer.

Answer: C

Explanation:
The word that is different from the rest is Scallop (C). The reasons are as follows:
- Oyster (A), Clam (B), and Mussel (D) are all bivalve mollusks, meaning they have a shell that is divided into two hinged parts. On the other hand, Scallop (C) is also a bivalve mollusk, but it has some unique features that set it apart.
- Scallop's unique features:
- Scallops have a distinct shell shape, which is rounder and flatter compared to the other three.
- Scallops have an ability to swim by opening and closing their shells rapidly, which is not a common feature among the other three mollusks.
- The adductor muscle of the scallop, the part that is commonly consumed, is larger and more developed than in oysters, clams, or mussels, making it a more popular choice for culinary dishes.
These differences make Scallop (C) the word that stands out from the rest.All except Scallop, live in shells.

The logic followed here is:

• In each figure A, B, and C, the image is divided into two equal parts and one of the parts is shaded whereas, in figure D more than half of the figure is shaded. 

Hence, figure D is the odd one out of the given figures. 

From Statement 1:

We have, S visits the zoo immediately before Q, who visits on Friday.

Two persons visit between S and V.

From the statement, we cant find who visits zoo on sunday.

From Statement 2:

We have, only two people visits zoo after R.

V visits zoo two days before R.

Three people visits zoo between V and Q.

 From the statement, Q visits the zoo on Sunday.

Hence option D is correct.

From Statement I:
M is shorter than only P. K is taller than L and N.
Case1: P > M > K > N > L
Case2: P > M > K > L > N
Here, we cannot determine who is the shortest, either L or N is the shortest person. Also, we don’t know the position of O here.
From Statement II:
We have, M is shorter than both P and L. K is shorter than P but taller than L. O is shorter than both K and M. P is not tallest.
N > P > K > L > M > O
Here, O is the shortest person.
Hence option B is correct.

From Statement I:

From this statement, we get that Madhavi joined the office on 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th or 9th November.

Clearly, data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

From Statement II:

From this statement, we get that Madhavi joined the office on 8th, 9th, 10th or 11th November.

Clearly, data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Checking both Statement, I and II together:

We can say that Madhavi joined the office either on 8th or 9th November.

Clearly, data in both the statements I and II together is not sufficient to answer question.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
