The correct answer is 'E' i.e. No error.

Key Points

• In the given sentence, there is no error in any part of the sentence.
• The given sentence is the first conditional sentence talking about a thing that might happen in the future.
• We can't know what will happen in the future, but this describes possible things, which could easily come true.
• The first conditional sentence format: if + present simple, ... will + infinitive.
• When using the first conditional, we use the present simple (here, have) in the if-clause and the future simple (here, will buy) in the main clause.
  

Hence, the correct answer is option 5.

Correct sentence: If I have enough money, I will buy some chocolates.

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

Key Points

• In the third part of the given sentence, the use of the base form of the verb 'translate' is incorrect.
• The given sentence is a passive voice in the present perfect tense as it links the past to the present in some way.
• The present perfect tense refers to an action or state that either occurred at an indefinite time in the past or began in the past and continued to the present time.
• The present perfect tense in a passive voice is formed by have/has + been + the past participle (here, it should be translated).
• The subject 'books' of the sentence is plural and it will take the plural verb 'have'.
• Therefore, the past participle form of the verb 'translated' should be used in place of the base form of the verb 'translate'.
  

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Correct sentence: Her books have been translated into 24 languages.

The correct answer is option 4) i.e. A-E, B-F and C-D.
Explanation

We need to join the sentence segments in column 1 with those in column 2 to create sentences that are conceptually and grammatically correct. Let us see how the sentence parts can join.

• Part A talks about how reading certain books have an ennobling influence. 'Ennobling' means 'acquiring greater dignity or nobility of character'. So contextually, it should be joined with part E as it points out what all are influenced by the reading of such books. So, A-E.
• Part B talks about trash. So, contextually, it should be joined with part F which talks about recycle and reuse. So, B-F.
• Part C talks about the personalities of detection dogs and so should be joined with part D that talks about how this personality trait can affect their suitability as pets. So, C-D.

In the given options, the correct answers A-E, B-F and C-D are reflected in option 4, making it the correct answer.

• The word 'abrupt' is used to describe something that happens suddenly and unexpectedly, without any warning. (आकस्मिक)
  • Example: The abrupt end of the meeting surprised everyone.
• Hence, the correct synonym for 'rude' in the phrase 'rude shock' is 'abrupt'.

The correct answer is ‘Only B’.

Key Points

• Statement B is accurate according to the passage where it's mentioned that merchandise exports surprised on the upside with the highest growth in 11 months.
• Statements A and C are incorrect based on the information in the passage. The government has been trying to control the import bill, and global trade grew, not shrunk.
• Therefore, only statement B is correct.

Therefore, the correct answer is ‘Option 2’.

Additional Information

• Option 1, 3, 4, 5 are incorrect as they include statement A and/or C, which are false according to the passage.

The correct answer is ‘$31.5 billion’.

Key Points

• The passage mentions that the trade deficit hit a record, reaching $31.5 billion.
• This increase in trade deficit was due to a sharper rise in merchandise imports over the last October and nearly 21% rise over September’s tally.
• The passage doesn't point towards any other figures being the size of the trade deficit.
• The other numbers mentioned in the options refer to different economic values, not the trade deficit.

Therefore, the correct answer is ‘Option 2’.

Additional Information

• Option 1, 4, and 5 are values mentioned in the passage, but they don't refer to the trade deficit.

• In Sentence C, the meaning of parody is not being portrayed properly. Here, it is giving another meaning to the sentence.
• Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Calculation:

Let the number of females visiting both cities be 2x

So, Number of males visiting both cities = 2x × 150% = 3x

Females visiting B only = 2x × 4 = 8x

Males visiting A only = 4 × 3x = 12x

Females visiting A only = 36

Males visiting B only = 16

Now, According to the question

12x + 16 + 3x = 36 + 8x + 2x

⇒ 15x + 16 = 36 + 10x

⇒ 5x = 20

⇒ x = 4

Now, Putting the values in table

Required percentage = (16/32) × 100

⇒ 50%

∴ The required percentage is 50%

Calculation:

x² – 29x + 204 = 0

⇒ x² – 17x – 12x + 204 = 0

⇒ x (x - 17) – 12(x - 17) = 0

⇒ (x - 17) (x - 12) = 0

⇒ x = 17, 12

2y² – 43y + 176 = 0

⇒ 2y² – 32y – 11y + 176 = 0

⇒ 2y ( y - 16) – 11 ( y - 16) = 0

⇒ (2y - 11) (y - 16) = 0

⇒ y = 11/2, 16

Comparison between x and y (via Tabulation):

∴ The relation between x and y cannot determined.

Given:

I. x² – 20x + 100 = 0

II. y² – 100 = 0

Calculation:

x² – 20x + 100 = 0

⇒ x² – 10x - 10x + 100 = 0

⇒ x(x - 10) - 10(x - 10) = 0

⇒ (x - 10)(x - 10) = 0

Taking,

⇒ (x - 10) = 0

⇒ x = 10

From II,

y² – 100 = 0

⇒ y² = 100

⇒ y = ±√100

⇒ y = ±10

⇒ y = 10 or -10

Comparison between x and y (via Tabulation):

∴ x ≥ y.

Given:

Number of candidates who appeared in 2018 = 480

Number of candidates who appeared in 2020 = 900

percentage of appeared candidates who were unqualified in 2018 = 40%

percentage of appeared candidates who were unqualified in 2020 = 36%

Calculation:

percentage of appeared candidates who were qualified in 2018 = 100 - 40 ⇒ 60%

percentage of appeared candidates who were qualified in 2020 = 100 - 36 ⇒ 64%

Number of qualified candidates in 2018 = 480 × 60/100 ⇒ 288

Number of qualified candidates in 2020 = 900 × 64/100 ⇒ 576

Required %

Given∶

Ratio of invested sum = 25 ∶ 15 ∶ 29

Total profit at the end of the year = Rs. 22,977

X = 22977/69 = Rs. 333

∴ Required difference = Rs. (25x – 15x) = Rs. 10x → Rs. 10 × 333 = Rs. 3330

Solution:

Given:

The curved surface area of cylinder increased by 25%

Calculation:

Let be assume a curved surface area be p

Increased curved surface area is = 5p/4

Percentage change in height = [(5p/4 - p)/p] × (100)

⇒ (1/4) × 100 = 25%

∴ The required percentage change is 25%.

Important Point

The curved surface area of cylinder = 2 × π × r × h

Seven boxes : P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V.

Number of chocolates: 2, 6, 9, 12, 16, 17, and 19.

1). There are two boxes between S and the box in which there is 12 chocolates.

2). S is above the box which has 12 chocolates.

3). S is placed below P.

4). P doesn't have 16 chocolates.

5). There are two boxes between the box having 6 and 16 chocolates.

6). Two boxes are placed between P and the box in which there are 9 chocolates.

7). U is immediately below the box which has 16 chocolates.

8). There are only three boxes between T and the box which has 9 chocolates.

After combining all, we have

Case 1:

Case 2:

Case 3:

Case 4:

9). The difference between the number of chocolates in box S and the box just above S is 13. ( Here we see only numbers 6 and 19, where the difference is 13 possible. so, either S is 6/19 or the box just above S is 19/6 has the number of chocolates).

From here Case 1, Case 2, and Case 4 get eliminated. ( as the number of 6 chocolates is in it but it is not just above S.)

From Case 3, we can say that S has 19 chocolates, as 6 is just above it.

Case 3

10). Only one box is between Q and V.

11). Q doesn't have 6 chocolates.

12). The number of chocolates in the box which is just above V is less than the number of chocolates in V.

13). As Only R and 17 chocolates are left, it occupies the left position i.e. R has 16 chocolates and T has 17 chocolates.

The final arrangements:

Hence, There are three boxes between P and R.
