सम्मुख का विलोम शब्द विमुख होता है।

विकल्म में सम्मुख का विलोम आमुख दिया हुआ है, जोकि गलत है।

अत: विकल्प 3 इस प्रश्न का सही उत्तर होगा।

Key Points

• विलोम शब्द:- विलोम शब्द वे शब्द होते हैं, जिनका अर्थ एक-दूसरे के विपरीत होता है।
• ये शब्द समाज और भाषा में विभिन्न अवधारणाओं, विचारों, और भावों के बीच के अंतर को स्पष्ट करने में सहायक होते हैं।

Key Points

• The words each, each one, either, neither, everyone, everybody, anybody, anyone, nobody, somebody, someone, and no one are singular and require a singular verb.
  • Example: Each of these hot dogs is juicy.
• If a sentence has two subjects connected by or/nor, either/or, or neither/nor, the verb must agree with the second subject (the subject closer to the verb).
  • Example: Neither the dogs nor the cat is going outside. 

Hence, the correct statements are:

(i) Each student was informed about the cultural programme.

(ii) Neither Ravi nor I have any interest in this project.

According to the given information:

First of all, we experience Fever.

Then it's diagnosed by a Doctor.

After that, the Doctor prescribes Medicine.

And there is the consumption of Medicine.

So, the meaning sequence will be Fever - Doctor - Diagnose - Prescribe - Medicine.

the meaningful order is "2, 1, 4, 3, 5".

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

I. Many Students are not paying attention to studies due to mobile games: From the statement given, it can be inferred that many students' addiction to mobile games is affecting their academic performance negatively. This suggests that students are likely not paying enough attention to their studies because they are playing mobile games, so inference I follows.

II. It is only because of mobile games that students fail in the examination: However, the statement does not imply that mobile games are the only reason students fail in examinations. There could be multiple other factors contributing to a student's failure, such as lack of understanding, insufficient study, personal issues, health problems, etc. Therefore, inference II does not follow from the statement given.

Hence, the correct answer is option 4, i.e., only inference I follow.

The correct answer is Option 2.

Key Points

• The given sentence is in Direct Speech. As per the direction, we need to convert it into Indirect Speech.
• The process of transformation involves several steps:
  • "Asked" remains as it correctly indicates the nature of the sentence being a question in indirect speech.
  • Simple Past Tense "Did you see" is transformed to align with the past perfect tense ("had seen").
  • Linker (that) is not used when a sentence in direct speech begins with a question.
  • In this case, we use 'whether'. In the case of Wh question the Wh word itself acts as a joining clause.
  • "Last night" is changed to "the earlier night" to adjust the temporal reference from the speaker's perspective.

Therefore, the correct answer is Kiran asked me whether I had seen the Cricket match on television the earlier night.

Given:

Number is divided by 119 then leaves reminder 19.

Concept Used:

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

Calculation:

Let the quotient be 1,

⇒ Dividend = 119 × 1 + 19

⇒ Dividend = 119 + 19

⇒ Dividend = 138

Now when 138 is divided by 17,

⇒ 138/17 = 

∴ The remainder is 2 

Option(3) is correct.

Option 1: Ask the neighbour to adjust because Diwali comes only once a year: No, as it is true but it does not mean that we disturb anyone.
Option 2: Along with your friends, threaten to beat up the neighbour if he doesn't leave immediately: No, it is ethically incorrect even it is a crime.
Option 3: Switch off the loudspeakers and apologise to the neighbour for the inconvenience: Yes, it is Morally and Ethically correct.
Option 4: Switch it off then, but turn it on again after the neighbour leaves: No, it is incorrect.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Given:
Speed of train coming from station C = 30 kmph
Speed of train coming from station D = 40 kmph
When they meet, It is found that the train coming from D has covered 40 km more than the train coming from C.

Concept Used:
Speed = Distance/ time
When time is constant then,

Speed ∝Distance

Calculation:  

Difference in distance = ( 4 - 3) = 1 unit = 40 km
Total distance = (3 + 4) = 7 units = 40 × 7km = 280 km
∴ Total distance between C and D = 280km

On close observation, we find that the problem figure is embedded in option 2 as shown below:

Hence, the correct answer is "option 2".
