Given:
Discount% = 10%
Profit% = 25%
CP = 360

Formula:

Discount%      [where MP = Marked Price and SP = Selling Price] 

Profit%     [where CP = Cost Price and SP = Selling Price]

Let the Marked Price be 100x.

= 90x
According to Condition,

⇒ 90x = 450
⇒ x = 5
∴ Marked Price of the article = 100 × 5
= Rs. 500

Given:

ΔABC ≅ ΔADC

AB = AD

∠BAC = 50°

In ΔABC and ΔADC  (By SAS law of congruence)

AB = AD

BC = CD

⇒ ∠BAC = ∠CAD = 50°(Corresponding parts of congruent triangle)

In Δ ACD, ∠CAD + ∠ACD + ∠ADC = 180° 

∠ADC = 180 - 50 - 90 = 40° 

∴ ∠ADC = 40° 

Hence, the correct option is (A).

Given:
30 litres of the mixture has milk and water in the ratio 7 : 3.
The solution has 21 litres of milk and 9 litres of water.
When you add more water, the amount of milk in the mixture remains constant at 21 litres.
In the first case, before addition of further water, 21 litres of milk accounts for 70% by the volume.
After water is added, the new mixture contains 60% milk and 40% water.
The 21 litres of milk accounts for 60% by volume.
100% volume = 21/0.6 = 35 litres
∴ 5 litres of water was added.

Given,

Height of cylinder = 28 cm

Radius of cylinder = 6 cm

Diameter of bullet = 1.5 cm

⇒ Radius of bullet = 1.5/2 cm

As we know,
The volume of cylinder = πr²h
The volume of bullet 

The volume of cylinder = Number of bullet × The volume of a bullet 

Let assume that n bullets can be made.

According to the question,

∴1792 bullets can be made.

Seven friends K, L, M, N, O, P and Q are sitting in a straight line.

1. K is second from the right end.

2. P is third from the left end and is to the immediate left of O.

3. Only Q is between P and L.

4. Two friends are sitting between M and O.

5. M is at one of the ends.

6. K is not sitting adjacent to O.

Only one person N is left and N will occupy the vacant position.

The final arrangement will be as shown below:

Clearly, N is sitting at the third place from the right end.

So, 'N' is the correct answer.

The logic is as:

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows,

Conclusions:

I. No book is a diary → False (It is possible but not definite, as there is no direct relation between book and diary Therefore it is possible but not definite).

II. All diaries are books → False (It is possible but not definite,as there is no direct relation between book and diary Therefore it is possible but not definite)

III. No diary is a novel → True (No novel is a diary, imply that no diary is a novel)

Therefore, the correct answer is only conclusion III follows.

The least possible Venn diagram is as follows,

Conclusions:
I. All phone are telephone → As, All phone are mobile and all mobile are telephone, all phone will definitely be telephone, hence it is true.
II. Some mobile are phone → As, All phone are mobile, so, some mobile must be phone, hence, it is true.
Thus, both conclusion I and II follows.

The least possible Venn diagram is:

I. All large are tables. → False (As, Some tables are large → So, some large are tables)

II. Some blue are large → False (As, No large is blue. → So, Some blue are not large)

So, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.

The logic followed here is:
In a row:
The third number - (1st number × 1.5) = second number
Row 1 

Row 2 

Similarly, 
Row 3 

Thus, the correct answer is "".

The error lies in part (B) of the given sentence.

• The above sentence is an example of a determiner.
• A determiner is a word placed in front of a noun to specify quantity or to clarify what the noun refers to.
• As per the general rule, we use ‘any’ in negative sentences and with words that have a negative meaning, such as ‘never’, ‘without’, ‘refuse’, etc.

Example:

• She refused to give him any attention (correct)
• She refused to give him some attention (incorrect)

According to the explanation given above, ‘any’ is the correct use in place of “some”.

Correct sentence: I’ve never heard of any of these artists.

The given sentence is a first conditional sentence. In a first conditional sentence, the tense in the "if" clause is the simple present, and the tense in the main clause is the simple future. In the given sentence, the if clause is in the simple present tense (verb 'remains') and the main clause is in the simple future tense (verb 'will').

The most appropriate helping verb for the given blank is 'is'.

“is/are/am/was/were” are called “helping verbs”. As the name suggests, they are verbs that help convey the tense and meaning of a sentence.

In a sentence, a verb is used according to the subject of the sentence. If the subject is singular, then a singular helping verb is used.

In the given sentence, 'a seamless world' is the subject that is singular. Also, the sentence is in the present tense. So, 'is' should be used.

Correct sentence: Today, banking in a seamless world is a distinct reality. 

‘Many a’ is always followed by a singular noun and a singular verb. 'Many a' is used to refer to a large number of things or people

Examples:

• Many a student was drowned in the river. 
• Many a tale was told.
• Many a man has tried but few men have succeeded.

According to the rule and examples that are given above, the given sentence is correct.

Therefore, option (D) is the correct answer.

The proper sequence is: QPSR

Reason:

• Part Q will be the first sentence because 'The police arrived a' ends with the article 'a'. And Part P starts with 'few'. "A few minutes" specifically means "in a few minutes from now". 
• After the arrival of police the person was arrested. Therefore, Part P will be the next sentence. 
• The person was arrested for a murder. Therefore, Part S will be the next sentence. 
• Lastly, Part R will be used because the person was arrested for the murder of his wife.

The correct sentence is:

The police arrived a few minutes later and arrested him for the murder of his wife.

The transformation has led to a stark financial polarization. On one hand, there is what is called an investor class. It has tax-deferred savings plans, as well as an army of financial advisers. On the other hand, there is the lottery class, people with little access to financial planning but plenty of access to payday lenders, credit cards and lottery agents. The writer in 3rd paragraph of the passage clearly seems to state what’s given in option (A). 

While means a period of time especially when short and marked by the occurrence of an action or a condition. It is used to depict two actions taking place simultaneously.

In the 1 paragraph of the passage, it is clearly mentioned that "At least a third of the ice in the Himalayas and the Hindu Kush region will melt this century as temperatures rise, disrupting river flows vital for growing crops from China to India, according to the scientists".

In the 2 paragraph of the passage, it is clearly mentioned that "Vast glaciers make the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region which is home to the world's highest peaks topped by Mount Everest and K2- a third pole behind Antarctica and the Arctic region, they said".

Thus, it can be concluded that  Para 1 deals with the cause of the thaw in the Himalayan region but Para 2 doesn't provide a solution to deal with the effects of climate change. It is giving us an information that how vast glaciers give rise to the formation of the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region and other highest peaks like Mount Everest and K2.

The correct order is: SRQP

Reason:

• The first part of the sentence gives the noun clause, viz, 'the exhibition committee'.
• This means the next part must either be the main verb; or an adjective clause (starting with when or that) giving more information about the noun.
• In the given parts, only S shows a verb, viz, 'has been'.
• So, S must be the first part in the correct sequence.
• Options 2 and 4 both begin with S. So, we must eliminate one of them, by comparing R and P as the possible next part.
• P gives 'attractive and useful'; while R gives 'making efforts', which adds to the auxiliary verb 'has been', given by S.
• So, SR must be the correct sequence, which is only shown by option 2.
• Confusion Point:
• SP may also seem meaningful. But, we have two more parts, viz, R and Q; which, then, do not make the sentence meaningful.

The correct sentence is:

The exhibition committee has been making efforts to make the exhibition attractive and useful.

The above-given sentence is in the active voice.

We need to change it in the passive voice.

The following steps are required to change the given sentence into passive voice:

• The subject 'the Municipal Corporation' of the active voice will become the object of the passive voice.
• The object 'the manhole covers' of the active voice will become the subject of the passive voice.
• The tense(simple past tense) will change according to the following structure:-
  • Active Voice - Subject + did + V₁ or V₂ + Object.
  • Passive Voice - Object + was/were + V₃ + by + Object.
