3) I is not an immediate neighbour of S.

Hence, S sits second right of W.

The logic follows here:
(1st number × 3) + 1 = 2nd number.
Now check all the options:
Option (1): 8 ∶ 25 → (8 × 3) + 1 = 24 + 1 = 25 = 2nd number
Option (2): 18 ∶ 73 → (18 × 3) + 1 = 54 + 1 = 55 ≠ 2nd number
Option (3): 22 ∶ 67 → (22 × 3) + 1 = 66 + 1 = 67 = 2nd number
Option (4): 15 ∶ 46 → (15 × 3) + 1 = 45 + 1 = 46 = 2nd number
Hence, "Option (2)" is different from others.

Let the age of son be x year and age of father be y year.

Given:

y = 3x + 3

Now, the present age of father = 3x + 3

And the present age of son = x

3 year later,

age of the son = x + 3

age of the father = 3x + 3 + 3 = 3x + 6

According to the question,

⇒ (3x + 6) = (x + 3) × 2 + 10

⇒ 3x + 6 = 2x + 6 + 10

⇒ 3x + 6 = 2x + 16

⇒ 3x - 2x = 16 - 6

⇒ x = 10 year

Thus age of the father = 10 × 3 + 3 = 33 year

Hence, the correct answer is "33 year".

We know:

Now,
29 November 2010 ⇒ Monday,
29 November 2011 ⇒ Monday + 1 = Tuesday.
29 November 2012 ⇒ Tuesday + 2 (Leap Year) = Thursday.
29 November 2013 ⇒ Thursday + 1 = Friday.
29 November 2014 ⇒ Friday + 1 = Saturday.
29 November 2015 ⇒ Saturday + 1 = Sunday.
29 November 2016 ⇒ Sunday + 2 (Leap Year) = Tuesday.
29 November 2017 ⇒ Tuesday + 1 = Wednesday.
Hence, the correct answer is "Wednesday".Alternate MethodAs, we know that, the leap year has 2 odd days and ordinary year has only 1 odd day.
Since, all the odd days of the year from 2011 to 2017
= 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 9 days
Thus, given 29th Nov 2017 = Monday + 9 = Wednesday
Hence, the correct answer is 'option 4'.

Given:

4(side of rhombus)² = 900 m²

Concept:

The side of a rhombus is equal.

Calculation:

Let the side of the rhombus 'a'

∴ Sum of side of Rhombus = 4a

∵ 4a² = 900 m²

⇒ a² = 900/4 m²

⇒ a = √(900/4) m

⇒ a = 30/2 m

⇒ a = 15 m

∴ The correct answer is 15 m.

Given:

Speed for first 180 km = 40 kmph

Speed for next 120 km = 60 kmph

Formula used:

Speed = Distance/Time

⇒ Time = Distance/Speed

Average speed = Total travelled distance/Total time taken

Calculation:

Since, we have to calculate average speed for first 300 kms, then first 180 km will counted at 40 kmph speed and remaining 120 kms counted at 60 kmph.

Time taken for first 180 km = 180/40 = 4.5 hours

Time taken for next 120 km = 120/60 = 2 hours

Total time taken = (4.5 + 2) hours = 6.5 hours

Total distance = 300 km

Average speed = 300/6.5 ≈ 46.15 kmph

Thus, the average speed for 300 km is 46.15 kmph.

GIVEN:
The percentage distribution of Anil's expenditures
CALCULATION:
Here, it is given that % spent on food = 25% and % spent on rent = 12%
As, Anil's expenditure = Rs65,000
Anil's expenditure on food = 25% of 65,000 = 16,250
Anil's expenditure on rent = 12% of 65,000 = 7,800
Total money spend on food and rent = 16,250 + 7,800 = Rs 24,050
Hence, money spent on food and rent is Rs 24,050 .

Given:

Rupam borrows from a bank at 10% compound interest per annum.

Formula used:

A = P (1 + R/100)^T

Calculation:

Let Principal (P) = 100

∴ Amount (A) = 121

⇒ 121 = 100 × (1 + 10/100)^T

⇒ (1 + 10/100)T = 121/100

⇒ (11/10)T = (11/10)²

T = 2 Years

∴ After 2 years, the compound interest will become 21% of the principal.

The correct answer is C. across

The preposition “across” is the most suitable choice here. It indicates movement from one side of something to the other, which fits the context of the sentence. For example, saying "I swam across the river" illustrates this usage effectively. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Details on Other Options:

• A: The preposition "at" is incorrect in this context as it typically refers to a specific point in time or place, not movement across a space.
• B: "For" indicates purpose and does not apply to the context of movement across a street, making it an unsuitable choice.
• D: The preposition "with" suggests accompaniment or combination, which does not align with the action of walking across a street.

Conclusion:

Option: C, as the most accurate and relevant option, is distinguished by its indication of movement from one side to another, setting it apart from the other choices. Thus, across is the correct choice.

The correct answer is D. Formidable

The term "brittle" describes something that is hard yet easily breakable, akin to being fragile. For instance, old bones can be brittle and may fracture with minimal force. In contrast, "formidable" denotes something that evokes fear or respect due to its impressive size, power, or capability. An example is a strong athlete regarded as a formidable opponent in sports. Therefore, the opposite of 'brittle' is indeed 'formidable'.

Details on Other Options:

• A: This option is incorrect as "weak" (कमजोर) indicates a lack of strength, which aligns more closely with fragility than with a contrasting quality to brittleness.
• B: This option is incorrect since "week" (सप्ताह) simply refers to a time frame of seven days and does not relate to the concept of strength or durability.
• C: This option is incorrect because "fragile" (नाज़ुक) directly correlates with brittleness, indicating something that is easily broken, rather than its opposite.

Conclusion:

Option: D, as the most accurate and relevant choice, stands out for its representation of strength and capability, clearly distinguishing it from the other options. Thus, Formidable is the correct choice.

The correct answer is D. flock

The term "flock" specifically refers to a group of sheep, making it the most appropriate choice to fill in the blank. This collective noun is widely accepted in English when discussing sheep, reflecting standard language usage.

Details on Other Options:

• A: "Pack" is incorrect as it usually describes a group of wolves or dogs, not sheep.
• B: "Colony" refers to groups of certain animals, particularly insects or birds, and is not suitable for sheep.
• C: "Herd" can apply to various animals, like cattle, but "flock" is the more specific and preferred term for sheep.

Conclusion:

Option: D, as the most accurate and relevant option, stands out for its specificity in referring to sheep, clearly differentiating it from the other options. Thus, flock is the correct choice.

The correct answer is C. Slacken

The term "accelerate" means to speed up or hasten a process. For instance, one might accelerate their studies to finish school sooner. Conversely, "slacken" implies reducing speed or intensity, such as when a manager decides to slacken project pace for improved quality. Thus, slacken is the direct opposite of accelerate.

Details on Other Options:

• A: Check (जाँच): This means to inspect or verify something's accuracy, not directly opposing the idea of speeding up.
• B: Control (नियंत्रण): This refers to managing or directing a situation, which does not inherently suggest slowing down.
• D: Supervise (पर्यवेक्षण): This involves overseeing a task or project, which does not imply any change in pace.

Conclusion:

Option: C, as the most accurate and relevant choice, stands out for its clear opposition to the term accelerate, effectively distinguishing it from the other options. Thus, slacken is the correct choice.

The correct answer is Option (3) i.e. 'belong'.Explanation

• Present simple tense is used for general truths; "belong" fits this usage.
• "Belong" agrees with the plural antecedent subject "Swans."
• Other options are grammatically incorrect for stating a general fact.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'belong'.

The correct answer is Option (1) i.e. 'for example'.Explanation

• "For example" is used to introduce an instance or an illustration of a broader category or statement made previously.
• In this context, it serves to provide a specific example (the Black Swan) that contrasts with the general statement about swans being recognized for their striking white feathers.
• The passage is illustrating an exception to the common perception of swans with the mention of the Black Swan's unique coloration, making "for example" the appropriate choice to introduce this specific case.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'for example'.Other Related Points

• Option (2) "of course" is typically used to emphasize something that is considered obvious or well-known, which does not suit the introduction of a specific contrasting example.
• Option (3) "after all" is usually used to add information that confirms or goes back to something previously said, but it does not aptly introduce an example.
• Option (4) "in addition" is used to add extra information to what has been previously stated, rather than to introduce a specific example that contrasts with what has been mentioned.

The correct answer is A. Rowlatt Act

The Rowlatt Act, commonly referred to as the Black Act, was introduced by the British Government in 1919. It aimed to curb political dissent by granting the government extensive powers to suppress political activities and detain individuals without trial for up to two years. Named after Sir Sidney Rowlatt, the act sparked widespread protests, notably led by Mahatma Gandhi, who initiated a nationwide satyagraha against it. The act was particularly controversial as it prohibited Indians from possessing weapons, which angered communities such as the Sikhs, who traditionally carried the kirpan as part of their faith. This legislation was seen as a significant affront to Indian rights and liberties.

Its capabilities are tailored for multi-dimensional warfare, allowing it to conduct anti-air, anti-surface, and anti-submarine operations. The commissioning of INS Tushil significantly enhances India's maritime security and naval strength, while also reflecting the strategic defense relationship between India and Russia.

Details on Other Options:

• A: This option is incorrect because a ballistic missile refers to a weapon designed to deliver a payload over long distances, typically not related to naval vessels like INS Tushil.
• B: This option is incorrect as a submarine is an underwater vessel, whereas INS Tushil is a surface ship designed for various naval operations.
• D: This option is incorrect since an aircraft carrier is a large naval vessel designed to carry aircraft, which is distinctly different from the frigate classification of INS Tushil.

Conclusion:

Option: C, as the most accurate and relevant choice, stands out for its classification as a frigate, which aligns with the capabilities and design of INS Tushil, clearly differentiating it from the other options. Thus, Frigate is the correct choice.
