Given : 48 + 37 × 5 – 36 ÷ 12 = 274 

So, by interchanging the number according to question :

• Option - (1) : 37 and 48

​37 + 48 × 5 - 36 ÷ 12 = 274 

37 + 48 × 5 - 3 = 274

37 + 240 - 3 = 274

277 - 3 = 274

274 = 274 (LHS = RHS)

• Option - (2) : 12 and 5

​48 + 37 × 12 - 36 ÷ 5 = 274 

48 + 37 × 12 - 7.2 = 274

48 + 444 - 7.2 = 274

492 - 7.2 ≠ 274 (LHS ≠ RHS)

484.8 ≠ 274 (LHS ≠ RHS)

• Option - (3) : 12 and 36

​48 + 37 × 5 - 12 ÷ 36 = 274 

48 + 37 × 5 - 0.33 = 274

48 + 185 - 0.33 = 274

233 - 0.33 = 274

232.67 ≠ 274 (LHS ≠ RHS)

• Option - (4) : 48 and 12

12 + 37 × 5 - 36 ÷ 48 = 274 

12 + 37 × 5 - 0.75 = 274

12 + 185 - 0.75 = 274

197 - 0.75 = 274

196.25 ≠ 274 (LHS ≠ RHS)

Hence, "37 and 48" is the correct answer.

Family Chart:

• It leads to rainfall over Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana.
•  Its direction is from northeast to southwest.
• A minor part of the annual rainfall in India is due to this type of North-Eastern monsoon.

​Thus, the northeastern monsoon causes rainfall on the coastal areas of Tamil Nadu at the beginning of winters.

Additional Information 

Monsoon:

• The term ‘monsoon is derived from the Arabic word 'mausim', meaning season.
• ​A monsoon is a seasonal change in the direction of the prevailing, or strongest, winds of a region.
• Monsoons cause wet and dry seasons throughout much of the tropics.
• Monsoons are most often associated with the Indian Ocean and the Indian sub-continent. 

Southwest monsoon:

• Southwest monsoon in India can be experienced in June-September.
• The whole of India comes under the southwest monsoon.
• India faces severe cyclones and thunderstorms.
• The temperature remains low during July and August.
• This rises high in September with a decreasing amount of precipitation.
• A major part of annual rainfall in India is due to the South-West monsoon.

President Vladimir Putin signed off on a law revoking Russia's ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, a move he says is designed to bring Moscow into line with the United States.Key Points

• Despite de-ratification, Russia maintains that it will refrain from resuming nuclear tests unless the United States initiates such action. The decision supposedly does not alter Russia's nuclear stance or its approach towards sharing information about its nuclear activities.
• The 1996 treaty, intended to end all nuclear explosions, was signed but never ratified by the U.S., prompting Putin to advocate for Russia, which had both signed and ratified the pact, to follow America's position.
• Concernings amid Western arms control experts suggest that Russia may be progressing towards a nuclear test as a form of intimidation in the midst of the Ukraine war. Russian officials, however, have downplayed this speculation.
• Putin refrained from confirming Russia's intentions on potential nuclear testing, despite calls from some Russian security experts and legislators for a nuclear bomb test to counter Western powers. A move like this could potentially set off a new era of nuclear testing among global powers, stirring fear among Western experts.
• The de-ratification law takes immediate effect following Putin's approval, noted on a government website, and having received endorsement from both the houses of Russia's parliament. Notably, no nuclear tests have been initiated post-Soviet Russia, with the last test from the Soviet Union in 1990 and the United States in 1992.

Lok Sabha:

• The lower house or house of people consist of directly elected members.
• The Lok Sabha is elected for a period of five years.

• The Rajya Sabha represents the States of India.
• It is an indirectly elected body. Residents of the State elect members to State Legislative Assembly.
• The elected members of the State Legislative Assembly in turn elect the members of Rajya Sabha.
• The vice president is the ex officio chairman of Rajya Sabha.

Supreme Court:

• The Supreme Court consist of the Chief justice of India and the judges.
• Additionally, it also has an office of the attorney general of India.
• The attorney general of India is like the lawyer of the union of India.
• It represents India in any court trials that involve the union of India.

Public Accounts Committee:

• This committee examines public expenditure.
• It came into existence after the Montagu Chelmsford reforms.
• The report submitted by the  Comptroller and auditor general of India is examined by the public accounts committee.
• The CAG audits the expenditure of the union and submits its report to the Parliament.

The Correct Answer is September 12, 1996.

In News

• The Women’s Reservation Bill, Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, 2023 was passed in Lok Sabha.

Key Points

• Twenty-seven years after the women’s reservation Bill was first introduced in Parliament, the Lok Sabha on September 20,2023 passed a Bill with near unanimity to amend the Constitution and provide one-third reservation to women in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies.  
• The bill seeks to provide a 33% reservation to women in the Lok Sabha and assemblies.
• The quota can come into force only by 2029 since it has to be implemented after the delimitation of constituencies.
• The bill was officially introduced in the Lok Sabha on September 12, 1996, by the United Front Government

The correct answer is Dharmraj Rath of Mahabalipuram.

• Dharmaraja Ratha is a monument in the Pancha Ratha complex at Mahabalipuram on the Coromandel Coast of the Bay of Bengal in the Kancheepuram district of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
  • It is an example of monolithic Indian rock-cut architecture.

Key Points

• Monolithic architecture refers to free-standing structures made from a single piece of material.
  • Monolithic architecture, like the Ellora Kailasanathar temple, is often rock-cut, but monolithic structures can also be cast from artificial materials such as concrete.

Additional Information

• The Mahabodhi Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is an ancient Buddhist temple in Bodh Gaya.
• Brihadisvara Temple, locally known as Thanjai Periya Kovil, and also known as Rajarajeshwaram, is a Hindu Dravidian-style temple dedicated to Lord Shiva located on the south bank of the Kaveri River in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu.

Given:

Ratio of the rates of Simple Interests in two banks A and B = 5 : 4

Half-yearly interests from both the banks are equal.

Concept:

Simple Interest (SI) = (P × R × T)/100;

where P = principal, R = Rate of Interest, T = Time period.

Calculation:

Let the principal amounts invested in banks A and B be A and B, respectively.

Let the respective rates of simple interest for banks A and B be 5x and 4x

Using the formula for SI,

we get: SI for bank A = (A × 5x × 0.5)/100

Also, SI for bank B = (B × 4x × 0.5)/100

Since the SI is the same for both the banks,

we get: (A × 5x × 0.5)/100 = (B × 4x × 0.5)/100

⇒ 2.5A = 2B

⇒ A/B = 4/5

∴ The ratio in which deposit should be made in the banks A and B should be 4 : 5.

Calculation:

State T has witnessed two times increase in 2016 and 2017 or 2020 and 2021.

State A has witnessed two times increase in 2019 and 2020

State M has witnessed two times increase in 2019 and 2020

State K has witnessed two times increase in 2020 and 2021

So, total 4 states witnessed an increase in the amount of annual rainfall continuously for two times in immediate years

∴ The required answer is 4.

Given:

Wrong number multiplied = 3/5

Correct number should be multiplied = 5/3

Calculation:

Let the figure be 15a

So, the wrong number after multiplying = 15a × (3/5)

⇒ 9a

Correct number which should have get = 15a × (5/3)

⇒ 25a

Difference of error = 25a - 9a

⇒ 16a

% of error = (16a/25a) × 100

⇒ 64

So, error % = 64 %

∴ The percentage error in the calculation is 64.

Given:

Water in the original solution = 64%

So, Acid in the original solution = 36% 

Acid in the new solution = 30%

Water in the new solution = 70%

Calculation:

Let the total solution be at the beginning was 100x

So, Water = 64x and acid = 36x

Now, According to the question,

{64x - 4 × (64/100) + 4}/{36x - 4 × (36/100)} = 7/3

⇒ (64x + 1.44)/(36x - 1.44) = 7/3

⇒ 192x + 4.32 = 252x - 10.08

⇒ 60x = 14.4

⇒ x = 0.24

So, 64x = 64 × 0.24

⇒ 15.36

∴ Water in the solution, at the beginning in the vessel, was 15.36 liters.

Alternate Method:

Let ratio of water and acid  = 16x : 9x

Since, 4 litres of solution was taken out and same quantity of water added

And solution taken out will be in the ratio of water and acid

So,

⇒ (16x - 2.56 + 4)/(9x - 1.44) = 7/3

⇒ (16x + 1.44)/(9x - 1.44) = 7/3

⇒ 48x + 4.32 = 63x - 10.08

⇒ 15x = 14.4

⇒ x = 0.96

Water initially = 16x 

⇒ 16 × 0.96

⇒ 15.36

Calculation:

As per the question,

 sin P + sin Q + sin R = QR/PR + 1 + PQ/PR

The sine of a 90-degree angle is always 1, because for a right angle, the opposite side and the hypotenuse are equal.

= 4/5 + 1 + 3/5

= 12/5

Calculation:

Let the initial oranges with the fruit seller be x.

1st selling = 0.45x + 1

Remaining = x - (0.45x + 1) = 0.55x - 1

2nd selling =  × (0.55x - 1) = 0.11x - 0.2 + 2 = 0.11x + 1.8

Remaining after second selling = 0.55x - 1 - (0.11x + 1.8) = 0.55x - 0.11x - 1 - 1.8 = 0.44x - 2.8

3rd selling = 90% × (0.44x - 2.8)

Remaining after 3rd selling = 0.1 × (0.44x - 2.8) = 0.044x - 0.28

According to the question-

⇒ 0.044x - 0.28 = 5

⇒ 0.044x = 5.28

⇒ x =  = 120

∴ The number of oranges was 120. 

Alternate Method

At last, he sells 90% of the remaining oranges after selling the oranges to a second customer, then he has 10% of the remaining oranges.

10% of the remaining oranges after selling the oranges to the second customer = 5

So remaining oranges after selling the oranges to the second customer = 100% of the remaining oranges after selling the oranges to the second customer = 50 oranges

He gave 2 extra oranges to the second customer, so the remaining oranges = 50 + 2

He sells 20% of the remaining oranges to the second customer, so he has 80% of the remaining oranges = 52

100% of remaining oranges after selling the oranges to the first customer = (52/4) * 5 = 65 oranges

He gave 1 extra orange to the first customer, so the total oranges after selling 45% of the oranges = 65 + 1 = 66 oranges

(100% - 45% = 55%) of total oranges = 66

so

100% of oranges = (66/55) * 100 = 120 oranges

Given:

Divyanshu and Manish can do the work in 75/8 days

Calculation:

Let the time taken by Manish to do the work be x days

∴ (1/25) + (1/x) = 8/75

⇒ 1/x = (8/75) – (1/25)

⇒ 1/x = (8 – 3)/75 = 5/75 or 1/15

⇒ x = 15

∴ Manish can do the work in 15 days

Shubhanshu is 50% more efficient than Manish

⇒ Time taken by Shubhanshu = 15 × (100/150) = 10 days

Gurpreet takes twice the time that of Shubhanshu

⇒ Time taken by Gurpreet = 10 × 2 = 20 days

∴ Ratio of time taken by Divyanshu, Manish, Shubhanshu and Gurpreet = 25 ∶ 15 ∶ 10 ∶ 20 = 5 ∶ 3 ∶ 2 ∶ 4      ----(LCM = 60)

⇒  Ratio of there efficiencies = 12 ∶ 20 ∶ 30 ∶ 15      

∴ Wage received by Gurpreet and Shubhanshu together 

⇒ {(30 + 15)/77} × 1540 = Rs.900

∴ The wage received by Gurpreet and Shubhanshu together is Rs. 900

Solution:

Length of the rectangle = x cm

Diagonal of the rectangle = (x + 1) cm

Breadth of the rectangle = (x - 7) cm

(x + 1)2 = x2 + (x - 7)2 

x2 + 1 + 2 ×  x ×  1 = x2 + x2 + 49 - 2 ×  7 ×  x

x2 + 1 + 2x = 2x2 - 14x + 49 

x2 - 16x + 48 = 0

x2 - 12x - 4x + 48 = 0

x( x - 12) - 4( x - 12) = 0

(x - 12) (x - 4) = 0

So value of x = 12

Length of the rectangle = 12 cm

Breadth of the rectangle = 12 - 7 = 5cm 

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 ( l + b) = 2 ×  ( 12 + 5) = 34 cm

Hence, option(2) is correct.

Given:
