Given:

Suresh borrows Rs. 80000 at 24% per annum simple interest

Ramesh borrows Rs. 91000 at 20% per annum simple interest

Concept used:

S.I = PTR/100

Amount = S.I + P

Here

P = principal or sum

T = time

R = rate of interest

Calculation:

Let after n years their debts will be equal

Now,

80000 + [(80000 × 24 × n)/100] = 91000 + [(91000 × 20 × n)/100]

⇒ 80000 + 19200n = 91000 + 18200n

⇒ 19200n - 18200n = 91000 - 80000

⇒ 1000n = 11000

⇒ n = 11

So, after 11 years the debts of them will be equal

∴ In 11 years will their amounts of debts be equal.

Given:

Concept used:

Calculation:

∴ Required answer is 20.

The correct answer is Percentage of deposits which a bank must keep as cash reserves with the Reserve Bank of India.

Key Points

• The term "Cash Reserves Ratio" (CRR) refers to the percentage of commercial banks' total deposits that they are required to maintain as cash reserves with the central bank in the form of cash.
• CRR is a rule that is enforced in virtually every country by the Central Bank of that nation and is a crucial tool for monetary policy in order to manage the amount of money in the economy.
• Every commercial bank is required to maintain the CRR rate in accordance with the requirements of the Central Bank, or RBI, which is the minimum percentage of cash deposits (as stated by RBI).
• Each bank's net demand and time obligations are used to calculate the cash reserve ratio rate.
• The sum of the balances in the savings account, current account, and fixed deposit yields the Net Demand and Time Liability.

Important Points

• The domestic currency holdings and deposits with the monetary authorities to claims on other governments, nonfinancial public businesses, the private sector, and other banking institutions make up the ratio of bank liquid reserves to bank assets.
• Deposits from consumers in their current and savings accounts make up the bank's obligations.
• Total fund costs are divided by total fund assets to determine the expense ratio.

The correct answer is Kolannalu.

Key Points

• One of the most well-known dance narratives in Andhra Pradesh is the "stick dance," also known as "kolannalu" or "kolkolannalu" (also known as "kolattam").
• It is a sort of rural art that is frequently displayed at village festivals. It consists of songs, music, and rhythmic movements.
• The Kolattam ensemble is made up of dancers in pairs, ranging in age from 8 to 40.
• The predominant beat is provided by the sticks. A leader directs the dancers as they move in two circles.
• The artists in the outside circle deliver the strikes, which the inner circle receives on their sticks.
• The dancers essentially move in circles while striking the sticks to the beat of the song.

Important Points

• The older generation of the Nagaland state is mostly responsible for creating the unique genre of music known as neuleu song.
• Villu Paatu, also known as Villadichampaatu, is a traditional kind of musical story-telling that is still practiced in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and North-East Sri Lanka. Narration and music are intermingled throughout the performance.
• The socio-religious folk dance known as Raas or Dandiya Raas has its roots in Gujarat, India, and is frequently performed during the Navaratri festival.

Statements:

(I) William is 15^th from the extreme left end of the row.

(II) David is exactly in the middle of the row and there are ten soldiers to his right.

So David rank 11th from the left.
When combining Statement I and II:

soldiers are there between William and David = William rank from right - David rank from right - 1
soldiers are there between William and David = 15 - 11 - 1 = 15 - 12 = 3
So, "3" soldiers are there between William and David
Hence, "Both I and II together are sufficient"

Given:

Julie can cover a distance of 140 m 18 seconds

Concept used:

Speed = Distance/Time

Speed in m/sec = Speed in km/h × 5/18

Calculation:

Julie's speed in m/sec = 140/18

⇒ 70/9 m/sec

Now, according to the concept,

Julie's speed in km/h = (70/9) × (18/5)

⇒ 28 km/h

∴ Julie can cover 28 km in 1 hour.

Shortcut Trick Use unitary method to solve the Question.

⇒ In 18 sec Julie covers = 140m

⇒ In 1 sec Julie covers = 140/18

⇒ In 1 hour (3600 sec) Julie covers = (140/18) × 3600

∴ Distance covered in 1 hr = 28000m = 28km

Given that,
2^nd February 2007 is a Friday.
2^nd February 2007 + 365 days = 2^nd February 2008 (since 2008 is a leap year but we are counting only up to 2^nd February)
365 days = 1 odd day
Therefore, 2^nd February 2008 is Saturday.
Hence, the correct answer is "Saturday".
Additional Information
Year - One year has 365 days or 366 days on this basis the year is divided into two parts:

• Normal year - It has 365 days.
• Leap year - It has 366 days and is completely divisible by 4.

Century leap year - The year which is exactly divisible by 400. Example - 1200, 1600, 2000 etc.
Counting Odd days
Ordinary Year: 365 days (52 weeks + 1 day)
= 1 Odd days
Leap Year: 366 days (52 weeks + 2 days)
= 2 Odd days

The correct answer is Lord Dalhousie.

Key Points

• The chief instrument through which Lord Dalhousie implemented his policy of annexation was the ‘Doctrine of Lapse’.
  • Under the Doctrine of Lapse, when the ruler of a protected state died without a natural heir, his/her state was not to pass to an adopted heir as sanctioned by the age-old tradition of the country.
• Lord Dalhousie came to India as the Governor-General in 1848.
• Lord Dalhousie was keen on annexing the kingdom of Avadh.

Additional Information

• Lord Auckland

Given:

11 -digit number 88p554085k6 is divisible by 72

k ≠ p

Concept used:

Divisibility Rule of 8 = If the last three digits of a number are divisible by 8, then the number is completely divisible by 8

Divisibility Rule of 9 = If the sum of digits of the number is divisible by 9, then the number itself is divisible by 9

Calculation:

⇒ 72 = 8 × 9

So, the number must be divisible by both 8 and 9

Now,

5k6 is divisible 8

Here possible values of k can be 3, 7

Now,

⇒ 8 + 8 + p + 5 + 5 + 4 + 0 + 8 + 5 + 3 + 6 = 52 + p is divisble by 9

So, p = 2

⇒ 8 + 8 + p + 5 + 5 + 4 + 0 + 8 + 5 + 7 + 6 = 56 + p is divisble by 9

So, p = 7

Now, 7 cannot be a possible value of p [∵ k ≠ p]

So, p = 2

Now,

⇒ (3k + 2p) = 3 × 3 + 2 × 2

⇒ 9 + 4

⇒ 13

∴ The required answer is 13.

Decoding the information,

Given:

52 K 4 Q 6 J 12 T 8

After replacing the signs from left to right and using the BODMAS rule,

= 52 ÷ 4 + 6 × 12 - 8

= 13 + 6 × 12 - 8

= 13 + 72 - 8

= 85 - 8

= 77

Hence, “77” is the correct answer.

The correct answer is Ajay Kumar.

Given:

The time taken by a boat to go 7 km downstream is the same as the time taken by it to go 3 km upstream

It can go 14 km upstream and the same distance downstream in a total time of 6 hours

Concept used:

Speed = Distance/time

Downstream speed = u + v

Upstream speed = u - v

Calculation:

Let the speed of the boat be u and the speed of the stream be v

According to the question,

⇒

So, speed in downstream = 7 km/h, and upstream = 3 km/h

So,

To go 16.8 km upstream will take = 16.8/3

⇒ 5.6 hours

∴ It will take 5.6 hours to go 16.8 km upstream.

The logic followed here is:

(1^st number + 2^nd number + 3^rd number) ÷ 5 = RHS

Now follow the steps:

36, 58, 21 = 23

= (36 + 58 + 21) ÷ 5

= 115 ÷ 5

= 23 = RHS

And,

41, 39, 20 = 20

= (41 + 39 + 20) ÷ 5

= 100 ÷ 5

= 20 = RHS

Similarly,

39, 52, 34 = ?

= (39 + 52 + 34) ÷ 5

= 125 ÷ 5

= 25 = RHS

Hence, the correct answer is "25".

The correct answer is Nitisara.

Key Points

• Nitisara is NOT written by Kalidasa.
• An old Indian treatise on politics and statecraft is called Nitisara or the Nitisara of Kamandaki.
• It was written by Chanakya's student Kamandaka, also known as Kamandaki or Kamandakiya.
• Despite the fact that it is actually a recension based on Sukra Nitisara of the fourth century BCE, current scholarship places its dating between the third and seventh centuries CE, between the Gupta and Harsha periods.
• It is traditionally dated to the fourth and third centuries BCE. There are 19 sections in it.

Important Points

• Mahakavi Kalidas, who is arguably the greatest Sanskrit virtuoso, wrote Abhigyan Shakuntalam about 2,500 years ago.
• The most renowned Sanskrit poet, Kalidasa, is the author of the epic poem Raghuvaa in Sanskrit.
• The four- or five-act Sanskrit play Vikramrvayam, written by the ancient Indian poet Kalidasa, is based on the Vedic love narrative between King Pururavas and the beautiful Apsar (celestial nymph) rva.

Additional Information

• The finest poet and playwright of classical Sanskrit literature in ancient India is frequently regarded as Klidasa (c. 4th–5th century CE).
• The Vedas, the Ramayana, the Mahabarata, and the Puranas are the main sources for his plays and poems.
• Three plays, two epic poems, and two shorter poems are all that are left of his writings.

Given:

The diameter of the base of a right circular cone is 20 cm and its slant height is 10.5 cm

Concept used:

Diameter = Radius × 2

Curved surface area = πrl

where r = radius of the base and l = slant height

Calculation:

The radius of the base of a right circular cone = 20 ÷ 2 = 10 cm

Hence, the curved surface area of the right circular cone

⇒ π × 10 × 10.5

⇒ 330 cm²

∴ The curved surface area of the right circular cone is 330 cm².

The correct answer is Western disturbances.

Key Points

• Rainfall throughout the winter in northwest India is brought on by western disturbances.
• Westerlies are what cause this pattern.
• The growth of the Rabi crop, which contains the crucial local grain wheat, is dependent on Western Disturbances in the northern subcontinent.
• Over India in the winter, the north-east trade winds are dominant.
• It is a dry season for most of the country since they blow from land to sea.
• Winter precipitation across the plains and snowfall in the mountains are caused by them.
• It is because the winds that blow through this area take moisture with them as they go from the sea to the land.

Important Points

• India receives 125 cm of rain annually, with the monsoon season (June to September) accounting for 75% of the total.
• Tamil Nadu and Kerala are the states in India that experience winter rains.
• The North-East Monsoon is to blame for this. Only the southern region of India is affected by the northeast monsoon, which occurs between October and December.

Additional Information

• The southwest monsoon enters the Indian subcontinent when the Indian subcontinent experiences high temperatures and low pressure throughout the summer, which draws air from the Indian Ocean.
• Winter monsoons in the Indian Oceans, which last from October to April, are less well-known than their rainy summer counterparts.
• An upper-level easterly wind that begins in late June and lasts until early September is referred to meteorologically as the "Tropical Easterly Jet".

The correct answer is Calorie.
Key Point
The concept of Calory:

• Calorie, a unit of heat energy in the metric system.
• The measurement of heat is called calorimetry.
• The calorie, or gram calorie, is the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of pure water 1°C.
• The kilocalorie is used in dietetics for stating the heat content of a food, i.e., the amount of heat energy that the food can yield as it passes through the body; in this context, the kilocalorie is usually called simply the calorie.
• The amount of heat energy needed to effect a 1°C temperature increase in 1 gram of water varies with temperature (see heat capacity); thus the temperature range over which the heating takes place must be stated to define the calorie precisely.
• The 15° calorie, or normal calorie, is widely used in chemistry and physics; it is measured by heating a 1-gram water sample from 14.5°C to 15.5°C at 1-atmosphere pressure.
• The 4° calorie, also called the small calorie or therm, is measured from 3.5°C to 4.5°C (water is most dense at 3.98°C); the large calorie, or Calorie, is equivalent to 1,000 small calories.
• The average value of the calorie in the range 0°C to 100°C is called the mean calorie; it is 1⁄100 of the energy needed to heat 1 gram of water from its melting point to its boiling point.
• The calorie may also be defined by expressing its value in some other energy units.

Additional Information

• Ohm
  • Ohm is denoted by symbol Ω. It is the Greek letter omega.
  • This is named after Georg Simon Ohm, a German physicist who studied the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.
  • Resistance is the measurement of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit.
  • It is also defined as the ratio of the voltage applied to the electric current which flows through it.
  • The resistance of a material is directly proportional to the length and inversely proportional to the area of cross-section. It is also directly proportional to the resistivity of the material.
  • Conductors have less resistance and that is why current can flow easily through it. Insulators have high resistance and that is why current can not flow easily through it.
  • Ohm's law states that the electric current is proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance. It is represented by V=IR.​
• ​Newton
  • Newton is the SI unit of force. And force equals the product of mass and acceleration.
  • SI unit of force = Newton
  • SI unit of mass = kg
  • SI unit of acceleration = m.sec^-2.
  • Hence, 1 Newton is equals to, kg m.sec^-2 . the other units do not satisfy the unit of Newton.

The correct answer is Mizoram.

Given:

A sum of money was invested at simple interest at r % per annum for 3 years.

Had the rate of interest been (r + 2) %, it would have fetched Rs. 84 more.

Concept used:

Simple Interest, SI = (P × R × T)/100

where

P = Principal amount

R = Rate of interest per year

T = Time in years

Calculation:

Let the sum invested be Rs. P.

According to the question,

- = 84

⇒ P × = 84

⇒ P = (84 ÷ 6) × 100

⇒ P = 1400

∴ The sum invested is Rs. 1400.

Calculation:
Total number of directors = 27 + 57 + 51 + 54 + 81 = 270
Total number of directors from the continent of America = 54
Hence, the ratio of the number of directors from the continent of America to the total number of directors = 54 : 270 = 1 : 5
∴ 1 : 5 is the ratio of the number of directors from the continent of America to the total number of directors.
