डल झील को स्थानीय लोगों की जीवन-रेखा इसलिए कहा गया है क्योंकि इस झील के सहारे चलने वाले अनेक कारोबार से लोगों को काम मिलता है और वे इसी के सहारे रोटी-रोजी कमाते हैं।

The logic follows here is:

Bottom number = (Sum of the Top number) - 2

In fig1:

39 = (19 + 22) - 2

39 = 41 - 2

39 = 39

In fig 2:

61 = (29 + 34) - 2

61 = 63 - 2

61 = 61

Similarly,

In fig 3:

83 = (36 + ?) - 2

85 = (36 + ?)

? = 85 - 36

? = 49 

According to the given information:

Considering statement I alone:

I. R is costlier than only O. P is cheaper than Q. N is costlier than P.

R > O; P < Q; N > P

Q / N > Q / N > P > R > O.

Therefore, the information given in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer this question.

Considering statement II alone:

II. Q is costlier than P which is costlier than R and O.

Q > P > R; Q > P > O

Therefore, the information given in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer this question.

Combining statement I and II:

I. R is costlier than only O. P is cheaper than Q. N is costlier than P.

II. Q is costlier than P which is costlier than R and O.

Q / N > Q / N > P > R > O; Q > P > R; Q > P > O

Therefore, the information given in statements I and II together is not sufficient to answer this question.

According to the given information, the diagram is as follows:

For East-West roads:

For North-South roads:

From the diagram, it is clear that J and K roads are 1/2 km apart.

Interpersonal communication is the communication between two or more persons.

• In this type of communication, the function of the source-receiver is performed by each individual.
• It leads to strong feedback communication.
• It maintains close and long-lasting relationships.
• It is also called Dyadic Communication. 
• For example - Communication between two co-workers.
• This interaction relates to their mutual interests, ideas, behavior, thoughts, likes, dislikes, etc.
• It is one of the easiest ways of communication.
• Types of Dyadic Communication:
  • Telephonic Communication
  • Interviews
  • Instruction
  • Dictation
  • Face-to-Face Communication

Based on the square of opposition and the given statement "All apes are mammals," the only statement that can be immediately inferred to be false is 3) A and D only.

Key Points

• The square of opposition relates four types of categorical statements: Universal affirmative (All S are P), Universal negative (No S are P), Particular affirmative (Some S are P), and Particular negative (Some S are not P).
• The given statement "All apes are mammals" is a universal affirmative (A).
• In the square of opposition, the contradictory of a universal affirmative (A) is a particular negative (O). This means that if A is true, then O must be false.
• In this case, the particular negative (O) is "Some apes are not mammals." Therefore, if "All apes are mammals" is true, then "Some apes are not mammals" must be false.
• However, the other statements do not contradict the given statement:
• "No apes are mammals" (E) is the converse of the given statement. While not logically equivalent, it's not necessarily false if the given statement is true.
• "Some apes are mammals" (I) is the subalternate of the given statement. This means it can be inferred to be true, but it doesn't necessarily negate other possibilities.
• "Some mammals are apes" (I) is also a particular affirmative statement and doesn't directly contradict the given statement about all apes being mammals.

Therefore, the only statement that can be definitively declared false based on the square of opposition and the given statement is "Some apes are not mammals." So, the answer is 3) A and D only.

Given:

The perimeters of two squares are 52 cm and 20 cm.

Concept used:

Perimeter of square = 4 × side

Area = Side²

Calculation:

Side of first square = 52/4 = 13 cm

Side of second square = 20/4 = 5 cm

Area of first square = 13 × 13 = 169 cm²

Are of second square = 5 × 5 = 25 cm²

Difference in area = Area of third square = 169 - 25 = 144 cm²

Side of third square = √144 = 12 cm

Perimeter of third square = 4 × 12 = 48 cm.

∴ The perimeter of the third square is 48 cm.

Given:

M.P = Rs. 1400

Discount = 12%

Concept:

D = M.P – S.P [D = discount, M.P = Marked price, S.P = Selling price]

% of D = (D/M.P) × 100

Calculation:

According to the question,

⇒ SP = 1400 × (100 - 12)/100

= 14 × 88

= 1232

The answer is 1232.

• 'आन’ उपसर्ग से बनने वाले अन्य शब्द - आनपारी, आनबखत, आनपारा इत्यादि।
• 'अध' उपसर्ग से बनने वाले शब्द हैं - अधखुला, अधकहा, अधवन इत्यादि।

Additional Information

The correct answer is '1, 3 and 4 only'.

Key Points

• According to the passage, excess input of nutrients in the soil, which is also discharged in water, leads to the following effects:
  • addition of pollutants to the water as agricultural runoff in which nitrogen and phosphorus act as pollutants in water bodies.
  • Also, if agricultural waste is not managed properly, it leads to land pollution and reduced quality of soil as well.
  • Agricultural runoff increases nutrients in the water bodies which leads to abundant waterweed, algal blooms, etc.
• Statement 2: however, the effect of fertilizers on decomposer microorganisms in soil has not been hinted at in the passage.

Therefore, the correct answer is '1, 3 and 4 only'.

Given:

2, 3, 6, 18, ?, 1944

Logic: 'Multiplication of previous numbers'

The logic followed in the given series:

Here, the missing term is '108'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (2)".

Preparing the family tree diagram by using the following symbols:

As per the given information:

Given expression: 'P × Q $ R @ S * T $ U'

P is the father's sister of Q, Q is the daughter of R, R is the father of S, S is the brother of T and T is the daughter of U.

Here, P is the husband's sister of U.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (4)".

Given:

m : n = 3 : 5

(m - 6) : (n - 6) = 9 : 17

Calculation:

⇒ 5m = 3n

⇒ 5m - 3n = 0 →(1)

⇒ 17(m - 6) = 9(n - 6)

⇒ 17m - 102 = 9n - 54

⇒ 17m - 9n = 48 →(2)

Subtracting the [equation (1) multiplied by 3] from equation (2),

⇒ 17m - 9n - 15m + 9n = 48 - 0

⇒ 2m = 48

⇒ m = 24

From Eqn (2), we have

⇒ n = (5 × 24)/3 = 40

∴ The smaller number is 24.

After interchanging ‘16 and 32’, we get:

L.H.S = 55 + 16 – 4 × (1 × 12) + (32 ÷ 4)

= 55 + 16 – 4 × 12 + 8

= 55 + 16 – 48 + 8

= 79 – 48

= 31 = R.H.S

2) 55 and 32

Given equation: 55 + 32 – 4 × (1 × 12) + (16 ÷ 4) = 31

After interchanging ‘55 and 32’, we get:

L.H.S = 32 + 55 – 4 × (1 × 12) + (16 ÷ 4)

= 32 + 55 – 4 × 12 + 4

= 32 + 55 – 48 + 4

= 32 + 23 + 3

= 58 ≠ R.H.S

3) 12 and 32

Given equation: 55 + 32 – 4 × (1 × 12) + (16 ÷ 4) = 31

After interchanging ‘12 and 32’, we get:

L.H.S = 55 + 12 – 4 × (1 × 32) + (16 ÷ 4)

Calculation:

∴ The loss percentage is 4.75%

The correct answer is option 1.

Explanation:

Let us look at the relevance of each and every option as per the lines given in the question.

• Option 2 is not an inference. It is a restatement of what is said in the passage.
• Option 3 is also a restatement.
• Option 4 mentions 'plasma density' and 'waves' which is beyond the scope of the passage.
• Option 1 is the correct answer.
  • 'Perseverance' means 'persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.'
  • ​In the passage, it is said that the sun's corona is "extraordinarily difficult to study". Despite this, researchers were able to come up with a map of its magnetic field. Without their determination, this achievement would have been impossible.

​Hence, only option 1 can be inferred from the given sentences.
