'वीरांगना' शब्द का संधि-विच्छेद 'वीर + अंगना' होगा।

अत: शब्द वीरांगना में दीर्घ स्वर संधि होगी।

Key Points

• संधि का अर्थ होता है मेल या फिर मिलना। जब हम दो शब्दों को मिलाते हैं तो पहले शब्द की अंतिम ध्वनी एवं दुसरे शब्द कि पहली ध्वनी मिलकर जो परिवर्तन लाती है, उसे ही संधि कहते हैं।
• जब संधि किये गए दो शब्दों को हम अलग अलग करके लिखते हैं तो वह संधि विच्छेद कहलाता है।
• वीरांगना में "दीर्घ स्वर संधि" संधि है। वीरांगना का संधि विच्छेद "वीर + अंगना" होता है।
• अतः इसमें “दीर्घ स्वर संधि” लागू होती है।
• "दीर्घ स्वर संधि" करते समय अगर (अ, आ) के साथ (अ, आ) हो तो ‘आ‘ बनता है, जब (इ, ई) के साथ (इ , ई) हो तो ‘ई‘ बनता है, जब (उ, ऊ) के साथ (उ ,ऊ) हो तो ‘ऊ‘ बनता है।

Additional Information

Here, we use the BODMAS table given below:

As per the given information:

Given expression:

⇒ [{(22 × 15) - (1 ÷ 9)} + (2 - 2)] ÷ 2

⇒ [{(22 - 15) + (1 × 9)} ÷ (2 + 2)] × 2

Apply BODMAS rule:

⇒ [{(7) + (9)} ÷ (4)] × 2

⇒ [(16 ÷ 4)] × 2

⇒ (4 × 2) = 8

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

Interpersonal skills are an important aspect of communication and social interaction. These skills involve the ability to communicate effectively with others, build relationships, and work collaboratively. 

Key PointsExamples of Interpersonal Skill:

• Group work: Group work involves collaborating with others to achieve a common goal. It is an example of interpersonal skill as it requires effective communication, active listening, and the ability to work as a team. 
• Leadership: Leadership involves the ability to guide and motivate others towards a common goal. Effective leadership requires strong interpersonal skills such as effective communication, active listening, and empathy towards team members. 
• Active listening: Active listening involves the ability to fully concentrate on what is being said, understand the message, and respond appropriately. Active listening is an essential interpersonal skill and is important in building relationships, resolving conflicts, and effective communication.

Hint

• Apathy is the lack of interest or concern towards others or their feelings. It is not an interpersonal skill, but rather a negative trait that hinders effective communication and building relationships.

Hence, it is clear that apathy is not an example of interpersonal skill.

Given:

A alone = 12 days

A + B = 20/3 days

Concept used:

1/A + 1/B = 1/(A + B)

Calculation:

1/12 + 1/B = 3/20

⇒ 1/B = 3/20 - 1/12

⇒ 1/B = 9/60 - 5/60

⇒ 1/B = 4/60

⇒ 1/B = 1/15

∴  B alone takes 15 days to complete the work.

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. "Your life will be changed by this book."

Key Points

• The given sentence is in the active voice and the future simple tense.
• The subject of the sentence is "This book", and the object is "your life".
• In active voice and future simple tense, the format is: Subject + will + base form of the verb (V1) + Object.
• To convert this into passive voice for the future simple tense, the format is: Subject (Objective case) + will + be + past participle of the verb (V3) + by + Object (Subjective case).
• Example:
  • Active: The chef will prepare the meal. (Passive Voice: The meal will be prepared by the chef.)

Therefore, the correct answer is- "Your life will be changed by this book"

Important Points

• When changing from active to passive voice (or vice versa):
  • The tense of the sentence should not be changed.
  • Only the structure is altered to shift focus between the doer and the receiver of the action.

The logic follows here is:

Thus, the wrong term is DFPX.

Hence, the correct answer is "DFPX".

Given,
Dhawan plans to buy a flat at Shyamla Society.
Shyamala Society has placed the following conditions for allotment of flats in its society:

Applicant:
(I). State domicile certificate must be submitted.
(II). Must have done a job of at least 5 years.
(III). If needed, he will be ready to pay the entire amount in 5 years.
(IV). Should not be the owner or co-owner (if spouse) of the residential facility in that city
(V). Should not be below 35 years of age as on 31 December 2016.

Information about Dhawan,

Dhawan is an industrialist and from another state who established his factory in 2000 and has a state residence certificate. He is ready to pay the full amount in 4 years if necessary. He does not have a house in that city but his wife has a flat. His date of birth is 11 November 1970.
Here we see Dhawan's wife has a flat in that city.
Therefore, the Shyamala Society will not allot flat to Dhawan as his wife has a flat in the same city.

Hence, the correct answer is Do not allot flat.

Let's denote the price of the key as x (in Rs).
According to the given information, the price of the lock is Rs. 20 more than the price of the key, so the price of the lock can be represented as x + 20 (in Rs).
Given that the total cost of the lock and key together is Rs. 25.50, we can set up the following equation:
x + (x + 20) = 25.50
Simplifying this equation:
2x + 20 = 25.50
2x = 25.50−20
2x = 5.50
x = 5.50/2
⇒ 2.75 
So, the price of the key is Rs. 2.75.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

According to the given information:

1) L runs faster than two people and slower than two people.

_> _ > L > _ > _ 

2) P runs faster than just only one person.

_> _ > _ > P > _

3) O is the fastest.

O > _ > _ > _ > _ 

4) N runs slower than M.

M > N

By combining all the given information, we get the final arrangement:

O > M > L  > P > N

According to the above obtained arrangement,

M is the first-runner up.

So, M is the answer.

जो शब्द संस्कृत के मूल रूप से विकृत होकर सीधे हिंदी में प्रयोग होते हैं, उन्हें तद्भव शब्द कहते हैं। इसमें उच्चारण सरल हो जाता है।  तद्भव का शाब्दिक अर्थ है– “उससे बने”  संस्कृत भाषा में परिवर्तन होने कारण पाली, प्रकृत ,अपभ्रंश भाषाओं से गुज़री हिंदी में रूप परिवर्तन हुआ। जैसे 

• हरिद्रा  से हल्दी

The process is used to exchange information properly between the sender and a receiver to achieve the desired result.

Interaction is a process of linking senders and receivers. The concept of interaction is central to understanding the concept of process in communication.

The social context consists of a set of rules which govern the origin, flow, and effect of messages.

Option (D): Frosty means (of the weather) very cold, with frost forming on surfaces.

Option (A): Hot means having a high degree of heat or a high temperature.

Option (B): Sultry means (of the air or weather) hot and humid.

The correct word suitable for fill in the blank space is frosty. So, the sentence is, "It is necessary to be very careful in irrigating during frosty weather".

Rajeev's position from left end of the row = 19

Rajeev's position from right end of the row = 19

Total number of students in the row = Rajeev's position from left end of the row + Rajeev's position from right end of the row - 1

= 19 + 19 - 1

= 37

Communication is the transfer of information from one person to another, whether or not it elicits confidence. But the information transferred must be understandable to the receiver – G.G. Brown.

Non-Verbal Communication:

• Nonverbal communication refers to all the other ways, other than words, which are used in communicating.
• More specifically, it encompasses the symbolic messages, which are expressed through variation in intonation, vocally produced noises, body posture, gestures, and facial expressions. Anytime an individual speaks, he is not confined to the mere emission of words. In fact, he conveys plenty of meanings with the aid of nonverbal cues. 
• The best technique to relay vital information to illiterate people is with the help of nonverbal symbols.
• Examples: Bottles or containers containing images of skulls or crossbones can indicate to uninformed persons that the products are likely to cause harm. Similarly, some companies use films to explain complex processes to people, who may not be well versed in oral communication.
• When communicating, nonverbal messages can interact with verbal messages in six ways: repeating, conflicting, complementing, substituting, regulating, and accenting/ moderating.
• Gestures Repeat Words. Example: (i) Saying no, then shaking head afterward; (ii) Asking for help and then, after a short delay during which they do not respond, raising eyebrows and saying 'mm?'
• Since non-verbal communication uses gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, touch, sign, sound, paralanguage, etc. for communicating with others, there is a great possibility of distortion of information in non-verbal communication. Example: In some countries such as Turkey or the Arabic-speaking Middle East, handshakes are not as firm as in the West. Consequently, a grip that is too firm is rude.

Given,

Two pipes can fill a tank in 12 hours and 15 hours respectively.

Total work Time Efficiency

'अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय शब्दों को नागरी लिपि में लिखकर ग्रहण करना चाहिए' वक्तव्य सही है।

देवनागरी, जिसे शिरोरेखा कहते हैं। देवनागरी का विकास ब्राह्मी लिपि से हुआ है। यह एक ध्वन्यात्मक लिपि है जो प्रचलित लिपियों (रोमन, अरबी, चीनी आदि) में सबसे अधिक वैज्ञानिक है। राष्ट्र लिपि की अवधारणा को देवनागरी लिपि संवहन करती है। यह लिपि समन्वय के साथ समावेश, सामर्थ्य और  सार्वदेशीयता लिए हुए है। यह सर्वांगीण लिपि है। वर्तमान में दुनिया में तीन हजार से अधिक भाषाएं बोली जाती हैं, जबकि लिपियां चार सौ हैं। देवनागरी लिपि इस देश की अनेक भाषा और बोलियों की स्वाभाविक लिपि बनी हुई है। दुनिया में प्रचलित अन्य लिपियों से देवनागरी की तुलना करने पर स्पष्ट हो जाता है कि यह लिपि सबसे विलक्षण ही नहीं, पूर्णता के निकट है। किसी भी भाषा की विभिन्न ध्वनियों के साथ अक्षरों का सुमेल हो। उसमें कोई त्रुटि न हो इस दृष्टि से देवनागरी लिपि अधिक वैज्ञानिक और युक्तिसंगत है। देवनागरी में ध्वनियों के उच्चारण और लेखन के बीच एकरूपता है। इसलिए, अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय शब्दों को नागरी लिपि में लिखकर ग्रहण करना चाहिए।

The correct word that should come in place of the blank is ‘broke up'. ‘Break up’ means to start laughing. So, the complete sentence is, "The little kid broke up as soon as the clown started talking".

When verbal and non-verbal messages are contradictory, most people believe in non-verbal messages because actions and gestures speak louder than words. People pay more attention to eye-contacts, voice tone, facial expression, etc.

Preposition 'into' is used for stability after motion like "He jumped into the well". Therefore, preposition 'into' will be used in the blank.

So, the sentence is "I jumped over the wall and fell straight into the garden".

The pattern is,

50 * 34 = 50 + 34 = 84

84 ÷ 3 = 28

Similarly, 

80 * 67 = 80 + 67 = 147

147 ÷ 3 = 49

A’s one day’s work = 1/5
B alone can do the work = 10 days
B’s one day’s work = 1/10
C alone can do the work =30 days
C’s one day’s work = 1/30
A, B, and C together can do the work in,

Therefore,  can complete the whole work in 3 days.

Let the two numbers are 3x and 4x and 'y' be the smallest number that has

⇒ ⇒ 15x + 5y = 16x + 4y⇒ x = y

Given sum of the numbers are 27

⇒ 3x + y + 4x + y = 27⇒ 7x + 2y = 27⇒ 9y = 27⇒ y = 3

Therefore, x and y is 3.
