According to given figure:

The figure will appear when it is opened as follows:

Hence, "Option - (3)" is the correct answer.

The pattern followed here is;

The next term is the addition of previous two terms.

Hence, the correct answer is "457".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: 1st number ÷ 9 = 2nd number.

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) 28125 – 3125 → 28125 ÷ 9 = 3125.

Option 2) 11322 – 1258 → 11322 ÷ 9 = 1258.

Option 3) 49374 – 5483 → 49374 ÷ 9 = 5486 ≠ 5483.

Option 4) 49401 – 5489 → 49401 ÷ 9 = 5489.

So, '49374 – 5483' odd among the given options.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Second Letter = First Letter + 2

Third Letter = Second Letter - 1

Let's check each option as per the logic:

1) VXW:

2) EFG:

3) OQP:

4) BDC:

Here, we can see that only Option 2 doesn't follow the logic.

Hence, the correct answer is "EFG".

The arrangement of the given options as per their order in an English dictionary:

(1) Perch

(2) Perdition

(3) Perfect

(4) Perfume

Here, Perfume is in fourth place.

Hence, "Option (4)" is the answer.

The mirror image of this image is:

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (2)".
Note 
Please note that when the position of the mirror is not mentioned in the question then we take it on the right side.

If you take the mirror on the bottom side then the answer image is not present in the options.

So only 1 answer is possible, and that is option 2 is correct. Please revisit the question.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: (1st number + 2nd number) × 2 = 3rd number.

Now,

For, (57, 100, 314)

→ (57 + 100) × 2

→ 157 × 2 = 314.

For, (69, 80, 298)

→ (69 + 80) × 2

→ 149 × 2 = 298.

Similarly, for (83, 120, 406)

→ (83 + 120) × 2

→ 203 × 2 = 406.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The correct answer is limiting personal liberty

Key PointsRowlatt Act

• The Rowlatt Act was passed in February 1919.
• The official name of this Act was the Anarchical and Revolutionary Crimes Act.
• The Act authorized the government to imprisonment without trial and summary procedures for trial in a court of law. 
• It was based on the recommendations of the Rowlatt Commission, headed by Sir Sidney Rowlatt, a British judge.
• It recommended to investigate a seditious conspiracy of any Indian and arrest them, for that even a seditious newspaper would be adequate as evidence. 
• This Act allowed imprisonment of political activists and no legal help, no trials before the jury was available to them.
• The Act was opposed by every Indian member of the Imperial Legislative Council.
• The Act curtailed the civil liberties of people and the practice of Habeas Corpus.

Important Points

•  Saifuddin Kitchlew and Dr.Satyapal protested against Rowlatt Act in Punjab but were arrested. They later gathered the masses in Jallianwallah Bagh. Jallianwallah Bagh Massacre happened in 1919.

The correct answer is Problem in storage.Key PointsTraditional functions of money are generally classified as:

• Medium of Exchange: Money is used for buying and selling goods and services.
• Unit of Account: Money is used to measure the value of goods and services.
• Store of Value: Money allows the ability to defer consumption from the present into the future. It's a way to store wealth.
• Standard of Deferred Payment: It is used as a standard for future payments.

However, "problem in storage" is not related to the function of money. Actually, part of the benefit of money is that it eliminates the storage issue inherent in a barter system. Money doesn’t physically deteriorate and could be stored or saved for future use with ease.Additional Information

• The concept of money and its functions is central to any study of the economy. 
  • Money helps to facilitate trade, allowing a more efficient allocation of goods and services. Without money, economies would have to rely on the barter system, which is inefficient because it requires a double coincidence of wants.
  • Money also plays a crucial role in the macro-economy. It influences important macroeconomic variables like interest rates, prices, wages, and economic growth. Central Banks — in India, it is the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) — manage the money supply to control inflation and stabilize the economy.
• In terms of the types of money used in the Indian economy, there are several forms:
  • Commodity Money: This includes any commodity that is generally accepted as a medium of exchange. Until the 19th century, most transactions in India were conducted with commodities like gold, silver, copper coins, etc.
  • Fiat Money: This is the money by order (fiat) of the government. Its value is not based on the material used for its manufacturing but on the trust and assurance by the government that the piece of note has a certain value. For example, Indian Rupee (INR).
  • Paper Money or Currency: It represents the most commonly used form of money and includes notes issued by the Reserve Bank of India.
  • Bank Money: Commercial banks in India also create money in the form of deposits, which are generated through the process of lending.
  • Electronic Money or Digital Money: This form of money is recorded electronically on a storage device, such as a bank's computer or even on smart cards or mobile phones. With the progression of technology and internet penetration, online transactions are becoming more popular in India.
  • Near Money or Quasi-Money: These are highly liquid assets that can be readily converted into cash, like savings accounts and time deposits, treasury bills, and other short term government bonds.

Important Points

• The Ministry of Finance is in charge of making Re. 1 notes and coins in India.
• However, the Reserve Bank of India is the only organization allowed to issue currency notes of different values, except for the one rupee note, according to the Reserve Bank of India Act.
• Coins in India are presently being issued in denominations of 50 paise, one rupee, two rupees, five rupees, ten rupees and twenty rupees.
• Coins up to 50 paise are called 'small coins' and coins of Rupee one and above are called 'Rupee Coins'.
• Coins can be issued up to the denomination of ₹1000 under the Coinage Act, 2011.
• Twenty five (25) paise coins have been withdrawn from circulation with effect from June 30, 2011 and are, therefore, no more legal tender.
• Rs. 75 coin, the coin’s metallic value exceeds its legal value as half of the coin is made of silver, so they are not used for transactions (legal tender).

Given:

The following bar graph shows the production of various models of mobiles in the year 2019 and 2020.

The total production is 40 lakhs during 2019 and 65 lakhs in 2020.

Calculations:

According to the question,

The total production of model A mobiles in 2020 = 40% of 65 lakhs = 0.40 × 65 lakhs = 26 lakhs

The total production of model E mobiles in 2019 = 15% of 40 lakhs = 0.15 × 40 lakhs = 6 lakhs

The total production of model A mobiles in 2020 and model E mobiles in 2019 = 26 lakhs + 6 lakhs = 32 lakhs

∴ The total production of model A mobiles in 2020 and model E mobiles in 2019 is 32,00,000.

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

Given a + b = 8, Cubing both sides

⇒ (a + b)³ = a³ + b³ + 3ab (a + b) ,

Using given data

⇒ 8³ = 152 + 3ab × (8)

⇒ (512 – 152)/24 = ab

⇒ ab = 15

∴ the value of ab is 15

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

Calculation:

Let 

Notice that inside the square root is the same expression again, so we can write:

Squaring both sides

5x = x²

⇒ x² – 5x = 0

⇒ x × (x – 5) = 0

⇒ x = 5 and x = 0

since it is multiplication , thus it can not be zero.

∴ The value of the given expression is 5.

Shortcut Trick

For the expressions of the type 

The value of the expression is y

∴ The value of the given expression is 5 and 0

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.

The Correct answer is: 'Option 2'.

Key Points

• When we convert active to passive, the object of the active voice becomes the subject of the passive voice.
• The auxiliary 'be' is used in the passive voice in the appropriate tense. Here, as the original active voice sentence is in the future simple '..will give..', the passive version will use 'will be given'.
• The subject of the active voice becomes the agent introduced by 'by' in the passive voice.
• The format of passive voice in this case would be: [Original Object] + [Appropriate form of 'to be'] + [V3 (Past Participle)] + by + [Original Subject]
• Therefore, the correct passive voice form of the sentence "The teacher will give the students a test next week." would be "The students will be given a test by the teacher next week."

Therefore, the correct answer is- 'The students will be given a test by the teacher next week.

The correct answer is 'Otherwise' i.e. this part of the sentence has an error.

Key Points

• In the third part of the given sentence, the use of the conjunction 'otherwise' is incorrect.
• The conjunction 'Otherwise' means Apart from that.
  • Example: I'm a bit tired but otherwise I feel fine.
• The conjunction 'But' should be used in place of the conjunction 'Otherwise'.
• The conjunction 'But' is used To introduce a phrase or clause contrasting with what has already been mentioned.
  • Example: The weather will be sunny but cold.
• In the given sentence ''ferocious'' and ''harmless'' are contrasting.

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

Correct Sentence: This dog seems to be very ferocious, but it is harmless.

The correct answer is "Independence".

Key Points

• The correct spelling from these options is Independence.
• It is a noun that means the state of being independent, or not being under the control or influence of others.
• It can refer to a person, a state or country, or any entity that has the power or right to govern itself.
  • For Example - After graduating from college, John moved into his own apartment to experience financial independence.

Therefore, the correct answer is "option 1".

The correct answer is Option (3) i.e. CBDA.Key Points

• The correct sequence after rearrangement C-B-D-A.
  • 1. Sentence C: It introduces Jahangir, his title, and his interest in naturalism, setting the context for the passage.
  • 2. Sentence B: It explains where Jahangir's naturalistic observations are recorded, linking it to his passion mentioned in the first sentence.
  • 3. Sentence D: It expands on the scope of Jahangir's observations, reinforcing his role as a naturalist described in the previous sentences.
  • 4. Sentence A: It makes a list of Jahangir's unique contributions to natural science, tying together the key theme of Jahangir's naturalistic endeavours introduced in earlier sentences.
• Hence the correct answer is CBDA.

Complete passage after rearrangement: Jahangir, the emperor of the Mughal Empire, was a devoted naturalist. His Tuzuk - i - Jahangiri contains a record of his observations (memoirs of Jahangir). Jahangir is known for his in-depth descriptions of several animals and birds, including the monkey and the hawk-cuckoo. His original contributions to natural science include the accurate assessment of the elephant gestation period and the disclosure of the Sarus Crane pairing information.

The correct answer is 'Option 3' i.e. People prefer woolen clothes during the winter season.

Key Points

• The performer of the action becomes the subject in active sentences.
• 'Are preferred' changes to 'prefer' in active voice.
• Thus, the correct structure is "People(subject) + prefer + woolen clothes(object) + during the winter season."

Therefore, the correct answer is - 'People prefer woolen clothes during the winter season.'

Additional Information

• Option 1 uses 'are preferring' which is an incorrect tense for this sentence.
• Option 2 and 4 keep using the passive voice and hence are incorrect.

The correct answer is: Phase
Key Points

• A phase refers to a distinct period or stage in a process or development. (किसी प्रक्रिया या विकास में एक विशिष्ट अवधि या चरण)
  • Example: In the first phase of the project, we conducted extensive research to gather data and define key objectives.
• It is often used to describe a specific time frame or a step in a sequence.
• In this context, the blank is asking for a word that fits the idea of progress or change.

Thus, option 2 is the correct answer.

Additional Information

• Transition refers to a change from one state or condition to another. (एक अवस्था या स्थिति से दूसरी अवस्था में परिवर्तन)
• Feeling refers to an emotional state or sensation. (एक भावनात्मक स्थिति या अनुभूति)
• Milestone refers to a significant event or achievement. (कोई महत्वपूर्ण घटना या उपलब्धि)

The correct answer is: Opportunity
Key Points

• Opportunity means a favourable or advantageous circumstance or situation. (अनुकूल या लाभप्रद परिस्थिति)
• The word fits the blank in the sentence as it implies the ability to take advantage of a chance or situation.
  • Example: Seizing the opportunity to learn a new language opened up exciting career possibilities for him.

Thus, option 3 is the correct answer.

Additional Information

• Possibility means a chance or potential for something to happen. (कुछ घटित होने का अवसर या संभावना)
• Captivity means being imprisoned or confined. (कैद किया जाना)
• Ability refers to the capacity or skill to do something. (कुछ करने की क्षमता या कौशल)

The correct answer is: Reduce
Key Points

• Reduce means to make something smaller or less in amount. (किसी चीज़ को मात्रा में छोटा या कम बनाना)
  • Example: The company implemented cost-cutting measures to reduce expenses and improve overall financial efficiency.
• The sentence asks for the most appropriate option to fill in the blank, suggesting that the missing word should have a similar meaning to the other words in the sentence.

Thus, option 4 is the correct answer.

Additional Information

• Correlate means to establish a relationship between two or more things. (दो या दो से अधिक चीजों के बीच संबंध स्थापित करना)
• Propagate means to spread or promote an idea or belief. (किसी विचार या विश्वास को फैलाना या बढ़ावा देना)
• Conclude means to arrive at a decision or opinion after considering all the information. (सारी जानकारी पर विचार करने के बाद किसी निर्णय या राय पर पहुँचना)

The correct answer is "a, a".

Key Points

• The correct option to fill in the blank is "a, a".
• In this sentence, both "woman" and "man" are singular, countable nouns.
• Therefore, they both need to be preceded by an article.
• The article "a" is used before words that begin with a consonant sound.
• Both "woman" and "man" begin with consonant sounds, so "a" is the correct article to use before them.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 1 ".

Complete Sentence: A woman is more serious than a man.  

The incorrect word is: Waitor.

Key Points

• The word 'Waitor' is not an English word. The correct spelling of this word is 'Waiter' (वेटर).
• 'Waiter' refers to a person who serves customers in a restaurant or cafe.
  • Example: The waiter served the food promptly.

Therefore, the correct answer is- 'Waiter'.

Key Points

• 'Sailor' (नाविक) is correctly spelt. It refers to a person who works on a ship, especially one who is not an officer.
• 'Author' (लेखक) is correctly spelt. It refers to a person who writes books, stories, articles, etc.
• 'Actor' (अभिनेता) is correctly spelt. It refers to a person whose profession is acting on the stage, in films, or on television.

The correct answer is: what I was looking for.
Key Points

• The use of "what" instead of "that" is incorrect as "what" is used to ask for information and not to refer to a specific object.
• "What" is often used in non-restrictive relative clauses or in indirect questions.
  • For example, "I got what I wanted." In this case, "what I wanted" is not essential to understanding the main clause.
• "That" is used to introduce restrictive relative clauses, providing essential information to identify or define the noun it modifies.
• The use of "as" is correct as it shows the reason for the gift.
• The correct relative pronoun to use in this case is "that" when referring to a specific thing.
• The correct sentence should be "Hurray! Here is the toy that I was looking for as my birthday gift."

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.

The correct answer is 'one who is eager for advancement.'
Key Points 

• Let us see the meaning of Aspirant:
  • Aspirant: a person who wants to win a competition or get an important position. ((पद या सफलता का) आकांक्षी, अभिलाषी, महत्वाकांक्षी)
    • Example: All the five aspirants were well qualified for the post.
• Let us see the meanings of the given options:
  • One who is eager for advancement: Aspirant. (आकांक्षी)
  • Recluse: a person who lives alone and who maintains very little contact with other people or society. (एकांतवासी)
  • One who has breathing trouble: asthmatic. (दमे का रोगी)
