Key Points

• The UCC debate embodies the tension between India's traditional diversity and the aspiration for a uniform legal framework.
• It showcases the complex interplay between adhering to religious traditions and moving towards a secular, equitable legal system.
• This debate brings to light the challenge of modernizing laws while respecting the country's multifaceted cultural and religious landscape.
• It underscores the endeavor to find a middle ground that respects diversity while ensuring equality and justice for all citizens, according to the principles enshrined in the Constitution.
• The conversation around the UCC reflects broader dialogues about national identity, secularism, and the role of law in navigating societal pluralism.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.
Additional Information

• Option 1 simplifies the issue, ignoring the complexities involved in legal reforms in a diverse society like India.
• Option 3 misrepresents the essence of the debate, which leans towards balancing religious freedoms with a unified law.
• Option 4 incorrectly suggests a general disregard for constitutional principles, which form the basis of the UCC discussion.

• R) introduces the topic by mentioning "covfefe-gate" and stating that it raises interesting questions in linguistic terms, establishing a broad context for the discussion.
• S) follows up by exploring potential futures for the term "covfefe," laying out various possibilities without yet diving into specifics, effectively setting the stage for deeper analysis.
• Q) then delves into a specific possibility, suggesting that "covfefe" could inspire a productive suffix, which is a more concrete speculation compared to the general possibilities mentioned in S).
• P) concludes the sequence by presenting another specific outcome, where "covfefe" becomes a standalone word with a defined meaning, related to the idea of a snafu, providing closure to the discussion by ending with a concrete outcome.

• Option 2 (RQSP): This sequence prematurely introduces the idea of a productive suffix before exploring the broader possibilities for "covfefe," which disrupts the logical flow from general to specific.
• Option 3 (PQSR): Beginning with the final outcome of "covfefe" becoming a meaningful word disrupts the narrative structure, as there is no established context or introduction to the topic.
• Option 4 (QSRP): This order starts with a specific speculation about a suffix, bypassing the necessary introduction and broader considerations of "covfefe's" future in language, making it an illogical progression.

Given statement : L ≥ D > O ≤ G ≥ U > K

Conclusions:

I. G > K → TRUE (as L ≥ D > O ≤ G ≥ U > K → G > K; clear relationship between G and K can be determined).

II. O < U → FALSE (as L ≥ D > O ≤ G ≥ U > K → clear relationship between O and U cannot be determined).

Hence, the correct answer is "Only conclusion I is true".

The number of triangles in the given figure:

Here, the number of triangles is '24'.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option (1)".

Given:

3 D K $ P 2 7 # @ 4 J T H 9 * F M R 1 5 % ? 6 8

Solutions:

3 D K $ P 2 7 # @ 4 J T H 9 * F M R 1 5 % ? 6 8

There is only one symbol which is immediately followed by a letter but not immediately preceded by letter 9 * F

Hence, The answer is One.

The least possible Venn diagram will be as follows:

Conclusions:
I. No sparrow is a pigeon → True (As All sparrow are Crow and No crow is pigeon. It means No sparrow is a pigeon is definitely true.)
II. No bird is a pigeon → False (As No crow is pigeon and some birds are sparrow. Means only some birds are not pigeon)
III. Some crows are birds → True (As All sparrow are Crow and Some Birds are sparrow. It means Some birds are definitely crow
Hence, Only conclusions I and III follow.

Given:
The average age of A, B and C = 98/3
The ratio of Ages of A and (B + C) = 2:5
Ratio of Ages of B and (A  + C) = 16:33
Concept used:
Average = sum of elements/number of elements
Calculation:
According to the question,
The average age of A, B, and C = 98/3
⇒ =
⇒ A + B + C = 98 -----(1)
The ratio of Ages of A and (B + C) = 2:5
⇒ =
⇒ + 1 = + 1
⇒ =

Put the value (A + B + C) from equation 1,
⇒ =
⇒ B + C = 70 -----(2)
Ratio of Ages of B and (A + C) = 16:33
⇒ =
⇒ + 1 = + 1
⇒ =
Put the value (A + B + C) from equation 1,
⇒ =
⇒ A + C = 66 -----(3)
Add the equations 2 and 3 and subtract the equation 1,
⇒ (A + B + 2C) - (A + B + C) = 70 + 66 - 98
⇒ C = 38
∴ The correct answer is 38.
Alternate Method
Given:
The average age of A, B and C = 98/3
The ratio of Ages of A and (B + C) = 2:5
Raio of Ages of B and (A + C) = 16:33
Calculation:
According to the question,
The average age of A, B, and C = 98/3
⇒ =
⇒ A + B + C = 98 ---------- (1)
The ratio of Ages of A and (B+C) = 2:5
⇒ =
Let, the value of A = 2 k
The value of (B + C) = 5 k
Put the value in equation 1
⇒ 2 k + 5 k = 98
⇒ 7 k = 98
⇒ k = 14
The value of A = 2 k = 2 x 14 = 28
The value of (B + C) = 5 k = 5 x 14 = 70
The Ratio of Ages of B and (A + C) = 16:33
⇒ =
Let, the value of B = 16 p
The value of (A + C) = 33 p
Put the value in equation 1
⇒ 16 p + 33 p = 98
⇒ 49 p = 98
⇒ p = 2
The value of B = 16 p = 16 x 2 = 32
The value of (A + C) = 33 p = 33 x 2 = 66
⇒ A + C = 66
⇒ 28 + C = 66
⇒ C = 38

∴ The age (in years) of C is 38.

Given data:
Principal amount (P): ₹22,500
Rate of interest for the first year (r1): 5%
Rate of interest for the second year (r2): 8%
Time period: 2 years
Interest compounding annually
Formula/Concept:
Compound Interest (CI) = P × [(1 + r1/100) × (1 + r2/100) - 1]
Solution Steps:
Convert the rates of interest to decimal form: r1 = 0.05 and r2 = 0.08.
⇒ CI = ₹22,500 × [(1 + 0.05) × (1 + 0.08) - 1].
⇒ CI = ₹22,500 × (1.05) × (1.08) - ₹22,500.
⇒ CI = ₹22,500 × 1.134 - ₹22,500.
⇒ CI = ₹25,515 - ₹22,500.
⇒ CI = ₹3,015.
Therefore, the compound interest is ₹3,015.
Alternate Method

Given:

X sold to Y for 540 rupees at a 20% loss.

Y spent 170 rupees on repairs.

Z sold by Y at a rate that would give X a 24% gain.

Formula used:

CP = SP/(100 - Loss)%

CP = SP/(100 + profit)

Calculation:

CP for X = 540 × 100/80 = Rs 675.

The price at which Y sold to Z = 675 + 24% of 675

⇒ 675 + 6/25 × 675 = Rs 837.

The total cost price for Y = 540 + 170 = Rs 710.

Profit for Y = Selling price - CP for Y = 837 - 710 = Rs 127.

∴ Y earned a profit of Rs 127.

Given:

Marked price MP = 120 % of Cost price CP

additional discount D = 10%

Formula used:

Selling price = Marked price - Discount

Profit = Selling price - Cost price

Profit % = (Profit / Cost price) × 100

Calculation:

SP1 = CP + (20/100) × CP = (6/5) × CP

D = (10/100) × (6/5) × CP = (6/50) × CP

SP2 = SP1 - D

SP2 = {(6/5) × CP} - {(6/50) × CP} = (54/50) × CP

Profit = Selling price - Cost price

Profit = {(54/50) × CP} - CP = (4/50 × CP)

Profit % = (Profit / Cost price) × 100

∴ Profit % = {(4/50 × CP) / CP} × 100 = 8%

Hence, the total profit is 8 %.

Alternate MethodLet CP of 4 shirts = 100 Rs

SP₁ = 100 × (1 + 20/100) = 120 Rs

Discount = 120 × 10/100 = 12 Rs

SP₂ = SP₁ - Discount = 120 - 12 = 108

Profit % = [(108 - 100)/100] × 100 = 8%

∴ Profit is 8 %.

Given:
Total profit = 65% First seller's profit = 20% Second seller's profit = 25%
Calculation:
Let the original price of the land = Rs. 100
⇒ First SP = 100 × (1 + 20/100) = 100 × 1.2 = Rs. 120
⇒ Second SP = 120 × (1 + 25/100) = 120 × 1.25 = Rs. 150
⇒ Final SP = 100 × (1 + 65/100) = 100 × 1.65 = Rs. 165
Profit earned by the third seller: Initial price before third seller = Rs. 150 Selling price after third seller = Rs. 165
Third seller's profit % = ((165 - 150) / 150) × 100
⇒ Profit % = (15/150) × 100 = 10%
Profit percentage earned by the third seller = 10%

Given:

Two dices

Formula used:

Probability = No of desired outcomes/Total number of outcomes

Calculation:

We know that when 2 dice are thrown then total no of outcome will be 36.

According to question,

Outcomes with different numbers on dice = 30

Total no. of outcomes = 36

Probability = 30/36

⇒ 5/6

∴ The correct answer is 5/6.
