Given:

Principal = ₹ 12500

Simple interest = 3.5% p.a

Time = 4 years

Formula used:

Simple interest = (P × r × t) / 100

where, P = Principal; r = Rate of interest; t = Time

Calculation:

⇒ 12500 × 3.5/100 × 4

⇒ 1750

∴ ₹ 12,500 will fetch a total interest of ₹ 1,750 in 4 years.

Motivation-

• Motivation is an internal force, which motivates a person to act, so motivation is the attention that creates desire and curiosity in a person to do some work.

• It is a hypothetical process, the functioning of which is inferred from observations of the behaviour of human beings.​ Motivation involves forces that mobilize activities of the individual and channelize them in those directions which help in accomplishing goals. There are two major types of motivation:-

• Intrinsic motivation
• Extrinsic motivation

Key Points
Intrinsic motivation:- It is a type of motivation in which the motives originate from inside the human body.

• It refers to the internal driving state stimulating an individual to behave in a specific way.
• The act of being motivated by internal factors to perform certain actions and behaviour.
• These motivations arise from within the individuals.
• Involves an interest in the learning task itself.
• Effective teaching must win the hearts and minds of the pupils if the learning is to involve intrinsic motivation, curiosity, and interest.
• In this case, Pooja wants to motivate them without bribing them with treats or promises of extra recess time. So, it is intrinsic motivation. She wants that they would feel motivated themselves.
• If she bribes them with treats, it becomes extrinsic as she is providing them with a reward.

Hence, we can conclude that intrinsic is the type of motivation she should encourage in her students.

Additional Information

• Extrinsic motivation:- Whenever an individual performs an action or behaviour because the individual is affected by external factors such as rewards or punishments, such form of motivation is extrinsic motivation.
• Locus of control is the belief regarding the outcome of their actions. Certain people believe that their skills and abilities influence the outcome of the action. Others believe that some external factors like fate or chance influence their result.
• Relatedness refers to the social nature of human beings and the connectedness with others.

The correct answer is Option 1) i.e., the.
Key Points

• Option 1 is correct because-

  • In the general rule, the definite article ‘the’ is only used when we talk about particular things.
  • The Definite article ‘the’ is used before the names of countries that have ‘united’ and ‘republic’ in their title such as, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, the Irish Republic, etc.
  • Let’s see an example-
  • He is currently vacationing in the Irish Republic.
  • He is currently vacationing in an Irish Republic.
  • Hence, ‘the’ should be used in the blank.

• Option 2 is incorrect because the Indefinite article ‘a’ is used when we talk about things generally and not refer to them particularly.

• Let’s see a few examples-

  • A chef once told me to cook in ghee instead of oil to enhance the taste of the food.
  • He went to the nearby shop to buy a pen.
• Option 3 is incorrect because the Indefinite Article ‘an’ is used before words that begin with a vowel sound.
• Let's see an example-
  • It is not easy to love an enemy.
  • It is not easy to love a enemy.

• From the above explanation, it is clear that ‘the’ is the correct article.

So, the correct sentence is- “Ron is doing his post-doc in the United States and has no plan to return here soon.”

Mistake Point

• The articles, both Indefinite and Definite, are omitted before the names of any cities or towns and countries.

For example-

• Kolkata is famous for its street food.
• A Kolkata is famous for its street food.
  • India is famous for its rich cultural heritage.
  • The India is famous for its rich cultural heritage
  • An India is famous for its rich cultural heritage.

Given : Tuesday on February 8, 2005

Note :

1. Ordinary year (365 days) = 1 odd day
2. Leap year (366 days) = 2 odd days

Explanation :

As 2004 is an leap year, therefore odd number of days is 2.

So, 2 days before Tuesday is Sunday.

Hence, "Sunday" is the correct answer.

The table is alphabets place value:

Given:

Similarly,
Option(1)

Hence, "Option (1)" is the correct answer.

Statements:

A < B < C ≤ D = E

Conclusion:

(1) B ≤ E → False (As per the statement B < C and C ≤ D = E → B < E)

E is always greater than B that's why conclusion (1) is not followed.

(2) B < E → True (As per the statement B < C and C ≤ D = E → B < E)

E is always greater than B that's why conclusion (2) is followed.

Here, Only conclusion (2) is followed.

Hence, Option (4) is the answer.

The logic followed here is

4/5 ∶ 0.8

⇒ 4/5 = 4 ÷ 5 = 0.8

Similarly,

5/8 ∶ ?

⇒ 5/8 = 5 ÷ 8 = 0.625

Hence the correct answer is "0.625".

Six students - P, K, M, T, N and G are sitting on a straight bench facing east.
1. P is sitting at one of the extreme ends and is fourth to the right of M.

2. K and T are the immediate neighbours of G.

Only one person N is left and it will occupy the vacant position.
The final arrangement will be as shown below:

Clearly, N is sitting to the immediate left of M.
Hence, ‘N’ is the correct answer.

• The shaded part represents people who are not carpenters.​​

• 1 + 4 + 5 = 10 people are not carpenters.

Hence, 'option 4' is the correct answer.

Decoding the information,

Given:
21 $ 7 M 13 < 2 R 6
 After replacing the signs from left to right and using the BODMAS rule,
= 21 ÷ 7 + 13 - 2 × 6
= 3 + 13 - 2 × 6
= 3 + 13 – 12
= 16 – 12
= 4
Hence, “4” is the correct answer.

The logic follows here is:

The first figure and the second figure merged together to give third figure.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Statement:

Oils should be totally removed from our diet.

Arguments:

I. Yes, removing oils from our diet will keep the budget in check.

→ This argument is weak as it does not seems much relevant with the statement given. Only for such reason, removal of oil from diet is not desirable.

II. No, some types of oils are essential for us as our body cannot produce them on its own.

→ The argument states that some types of oils are necessary for us as our body cannot produce them on its own which is true and strong enough.

Hence, 'option 3' is the correct answer.

Statement: Farmers are unable to sell their produce due to low demand.

As statement says Farmers are unable to sell their products due to low demand.

Course of action:

I: The government should buy products from farmers at a price below the cost price and export them at a higher price.

If the government buys their product below the cost price this will not help them to recover their loss, hence this is not the right statement to help the farmers.

Hence, the course of action I do not follows.

II: Government should not interfere in this situation as it will cause trouble to the farmers.

Government should interfere in this situation otherwise how farmers sell their product on a large scale. Hence, this is also not the right statement to help farmers.

Hence, the course of action II do not follows.

Hence, Option (1) is correct.

Additional Information

Some rules to solve Statements and Course of action questions must be kept in mind while solving it.

Rule 1. Have an unbiased and neutral mind frame. Individual perception must not be used to judge the course of action to be taken.

Rule 2. The first step should be to identify the root cause of the problem. Once the problem is solved, a logical mindset should be employed to figure out the course of action.

Rule 3. There must be no extremity involved in the course of action.

Rule 4. A course of action must be able to solve, reduce, or minimize the problem given in the situation.

Rule 5. The course of action can be said to solve/reduce the problem when it is an established fact, when it is logically possible and when it is known from experience.

Given series:
4, 16, 9, ?, 29, 116

The number of triangles in the given figure is:

So, there are a total of 19 triangles in the figure.
Hence, ‘19’ is the correct answer.
Shortcut Trick
Given figure:

The number of triangles = 8 × 2 = 16
Now,

The number of triangles = 1 + 2 = 3
Total the number of triangles = 16 + 3 = 19
Hence, the correct answer is "19".

Given:

121 ∶ 10

Logic:

The first number = (Second number + 1)²

In 121 : 10 →

(10 + 1)² = (11)² = 121

Check all the options one by one:

1. 256 : 17 →

(17 +1)² = (18)² = 324

2. 169 : 11 →

(11 + 1)² = (12)² = 144

3. 225 : 15 →

(15 +1)² = (16)² = 256

4. 196 : 13 →

(13 + 1)² = (14)² = 196

Here, '196 : 13' is the correct pair.

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