AFCAT 9th Aug 2024 (Shift 2) Memory Based Paper. (Previous Year Paper)

The correct answer is Option 1.

Key Points

• The sentence requires a word that shows the beginning of an event that happens after a short time or immediately.
• 'When' is the most appropriate option as it introduces a specific time or condition when something happens.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Additional Information

• 'Sooner' would not work because it suggests something should happen before another event, which doesn't match the passage's structure.
• 'For' is used to indicate a reason or purpose and does not fit the requirement of introducing a specific event in time.
• 'Unless' introduces a condition or exception and does not fit the intended meaning in this context.

The correct answer is Madhya Pradesh.

Key Points

• The sanctuary is mainly inhabited by deer, such as the chinkara (Indian gazelle), Nilgai, and sambar, which are the most frequently spotted, along with other animals like the Indian leopard, langur, Indian wild dog, peacock, otter, and Mugger crocodile.

Given:

Distance between the constable and the thief = 114 meters

Speed of the constable = 21 meters/min

Speed of the thief = 15 meters/min

Formula Used:

Time = Distance / Relative Speed

Relative Speed = Speed of the constable - Speed of the thief

Calculation:

Relative Speed = 21 - 15 = 6 meters/min

Time = Distance / Relative Speed

Time = 114 / 6

⇒ Time = 19 minutes

The constable will catch the thief in 19 minutes.

Geeta walked 6m from point 'A' and  turned right and walked 8 m. 

Ram walked 5m from point 'A' and turned right and walked 12 m.

The diagram is as follows,

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle ABC

  AC² = AB2 + BC2

  AC² = 6² + 8²

  AC² = 36 + 64

  AC² = 100

  AC = 10 m

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle ADE

  AE² = AD² + DE ²

  AE² = 5² + 12²

  AE² = 25 + 144

  AE² = 169

  AE = 13 m

The distance between Geeta and the Initial point is AC

 = 10 m

 Therefore, the distance between Geeta and Ram is 10 m.

 Hence option 2: 10 is the correct answer.

The correct answer is 'having'.

Key Points

• The sentence structure requires a participle form to describe Asha’s state while performing another action (flying to Switzerland).
• Among the options, “having” correctly introduces a participial phrase — “having seen another grandchild safely into the world” — which expresses a completed action before the next event.
• The other options (have, has, had) would make the sentence grammatically incorrect or awkward.
• Thus, “having” fits best to indicate that Asha had already seen another grandchild before leaving for Switzerland.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Complete Sentence: “Asha, having seen another grandchild safely into the world, was flying to Switzerland to be with her.”

Additional Information

• Have – used with plural subjects or in present perfect tense; does not fit here.
• Has – used with singular subjects in present perfect tense; incorrect due to tense mismatch.
• Had – denotes past perfect but does not create the participial phrase needed in this context.
• Having – forms a perfect participle phrase that correctly links two past actions.

The correct answer is Lausanne, Switzerland.

Given:

Current age ratio = 5:6

After 2 years, ratio = 7:8

Calculations

Let present ages be 5x and 6x

Then, after 2 years: (5x + 2)/(6x + 2) = 7/8

Find x, then compute ages after 10 years and find the ratio

⇒ (5x + 2)/(6x + 2) = 7/8

⇒ 8(5x + 2) = 7(6x + 2)

⇒ 40x + 16 = 42x + 14

⇒ 2x = 2

⇒ x = 1

Present ages = 5x = 5, 6x = 6

After 10 years = 5 + 10 = 15, 6 + 10 = 16

∴ The ratio of their ages after 10 years will be 15:16.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as shown below :

Conclusions:

I. Some banana are apples is a possibility → Follow (As all apples are mangoes, all mangoes are grapes and some grapes are banana. So, it is definitely true)

II. No apples are grapes → Does not follow (As all apples are mangoes, all mangoes are grapes. So, it is possible but not definitely true)

III. Some mangoes are banana → Does not follow (As all mangoes are grapes and some grapes are banana. So, it is possible but not definitely true)

IV. Some grapes are not banana → Does not follow (As some grapes are banana. So,it is possible but not definitely true) 

∴ Here, Only conclusion I follow.

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

The correct answer is 'pursed'.

Key Points

• The passage describes a character's reaction, where "pursed" refers to the action of tightening or pressing the lips together, often showing disapproval or displeasure.
• "Pursed" fits the context as it suggests Nanda Kaul's reaction to the information, likely indicating a moment of distaste or frustration.
• Other options like "stuck", "dirt", and "dusted" do not align with the context of describing a facial expression in this particular scenario.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Additional Information

• "Stuck" refers to something being fixed or unable to move, which does not fit the context of the passage.
• "Dirt" is unrelated to facial expressions and does not fit in this context.
• "Dusted" typically refers to cleaning or sprinkling lightly with a powdery substance, which is not relevant here.

The correct answer is Dundigal, Telangana.

Key Points

Given:

Original radius of the cylinder = r

Original height of the cylinder = h

New radius = 50% decrease = r - 0.5r = 0.5r

New height = 50% increase = h + 0.5h = 1.5h

Formula Used:

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

Calculation:

Original volume = πr²h

New volume = π(0.5r)²(1.5h)

⇒ New volume = π(0.25r²)(1.5h)

⇒ New volume = 0.375πr²h

Decrease in volume = Original volume - New volume

⇒ Decrease = πr²h - 0.375πr²h

⇒ Decrease = (1 - 0.375)πr²h

⇒ Decrease = 0.625πr²h

Percentage decrease = (Decrease / Original volume) × 100

⇒ Percentage decrease = (0.625πr²h / πr²h) × 100

⇒ Percentage decrease = 0.625 × 100

⇒ Percentage decrease = 62.5%

The volume will be decreased by 62.5%.

The logic followed here is:

Position of P from the left = 5th

Position of Q from the right = 11th

After interchanging, Position of P from the left = 11th

So,

Total number of people = Position of Q from the right + Position of P from the left after interchange - 1

= 11 + 11 - 1

= 22 - 1 = 21.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The correct answer is 'folded up'.

Key Points

• "Folded up" This option fits as it implies she physically folded the letter before putting it away, which is a natural action before hiding or storing paper documents.
• Thus, "Folded up" captures the precise action Nanda Kaul took with the letter before hiding it, aligning with the intended sequence of actions in the narrative.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Additional Information

• "Cleared up" is about resolving confusion or misunderstanding, which is irrelevant here.
• "Hid away" could work, but "tucked away" better conveys the subtle, discreet action of hiding the letter.
• "Tucked away" Though close in meaning, it implies directly putting the letter out of sight, without the specific action of folding, which is explicitly required here.

The correct answer is Reserve Bank of India.

Key Points

• The Ombudsman Scheme was launched by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on 12^th November 2021 under Banking Regulation Act, 1949; Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 and Payment and Settlement Act, 2007.

Given:

Marked Price (MP) = ₹690

Discount = 10%

Profit = 8%

Formula used:

Selling Price (SP) = MP × (1 - Discount%)

Cost Price (CP) = SP ÷ (1 + Profit%)

New SP = MP (if no discount), New Profit% = ((New SP - CP) ÷ CP) × 100

Calculations:

SP = 690 × (1 - 10/100) = 690 × 0.9 = ₹621

CP = 621 ÷ 1.08 = ₹575

New SP = ₹690

⇒ Gain = 690 - 575 = ₹115

⇒ Gain% = (115 ÷ 575) × 100 = 20%

∴ If no discount is allowed, the gain percent would be 20%.

The pattern followed here is:

1) Movement of upper and lower middle figure → Upper middle figure is rotate 45º clockwise and lower middle figure is roate 45º anticlockwise direction.

2. Rotation of middle figure and disappear/appear→ Every middle figure shifted one step forward in next figure. Left side middle figure is disappear and new figure appear on right side middle figure.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The correct answer is 'across'.

Key Points

• Here, the key part to focus on is "that distasteful sprawl", which refers to something spread or scattered across the surface of the paper—likely messy or disorganized handwriting.
• The word "across" suggests that the "distasteful sprawl" (likely handwriting) covers the surface of the blue sheets of paper.
• This makes perfect sense because writing or a "sprawl" often spreads over a surface, and "across" is the correct preposition to describe such coverage.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Additional Information

• Option 2: "at" suggests a location, but it does not work to indicate the way the sprawl appeared on the paper.
• Option 3: "in" is also inappropriate because it does not express the relationship between the sprawl and the paper
• Option 3: "by" It doesn’t accurately describe something being spread on or over the paper

The correct answer is USA.

Key Points

• India signed a contract with the US government and Boeing in September 2015 for 22 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters, with the Indian Air Force (IAF) inducting the first batch of eight in 2019.

Additional Information Some important defense equipment and their origin are the followings:

Given:

The age of X is 232323

that of Y.

After 6 years, X will be 46 years old.

Formula Used:

Present age of X = Future age of X - Number of years in the future

Present age of Y = (Present age of X × 3) / 2

Calculation:

Future age of X = 46 years

Number of years in the future = 6

Present age of X = Future age of X - 6

⇒ Present age of X = 46 - 6

⇒ Present age of X = 40 years

Age relation: Age of X = 2/3 × Age of Y

⇒ Age of Y = (Age of X × 3) / 2

⇒ Age of Y = (40 × 3) / 2

⇒ Age of Y = 120 / 2

⇒ Age of Y = 60 years

The present age of Y is 60 years.

The correct Venn diagram representation is:

Tigers are carnivores.

Dog are omnivores.

Hence, option (2) is the correct answer.

Important Points

Herbivores: An animal that only eats grass and plants.

Carnivores: Any animal that eats meat.

Omnivores: An animal that eats both plants and meat

The correct answer is Option 2)

Key Points

• In the second part of the given sentence, the present perfect continuous tense should be used instead of the present continuous tense.
• Since the action of working with him started in the past (in 2002) and continues to the present, the correct tense is present perfect continuous.
• The correct form should be "I have been working with him since 2002."

Hence, the correct statement is "I have been working with him since 2002, but even today I am unable to understand his motives."

Additional Information

• The present perfect continuous tense is used to show that something started in the past and has continued up until now.
• It is formed with "have/has been" + present participle (verb + ing).
• Example: She has been reading for two hours.

The correct answer is Karnataka.

Key Points

• The Hoysala temples are located in the state of Karnataka.
• These temples were built by the Hoysala dynasty between the 10^th and 14^th centuries and are known for their intricate architecture and detailed carvings.
• Some famous examples include the Chennakesava Temple at Belur, the Hoysaleswara Temple at Halebidu, and the Kesava Temple at **Somanathapura.**These three temples were accorded UNESCO world heritage site status in 2023.

Additional Information Hoysala Dynasty:

• The Hoysala dynasty originated in the Deccan region. Their capital was initially in Belur, later moving to Halebidu (Dorasamudra).
• The Hoysala was built around 1500 temples at 958 centers between 1000 AD to 1346 AD. The finest temples were commissioned during the times of Vishnuvardhana.

• Some of the prominent rulers of Hoysala Dynasty include Nripa Kama II  (963-966 CE), Veera Ballala I (1048–1098 CE), Narasimha I (1152–1173 CE), Vira Narasimha II (1220–1235 CE), Vira Someshwara (1235–1263 CE), Narasimha III (1263–1292 CE).

Given:

A can do the work in 10 days

B can do the work in 15 days

Formula used:

Work = LCM of days taken

Efficiency = Work ÷ Time

In alternate days work, calculate work done in 2-day cycles

Calculations:

LCM of 10 and 15 = 30 units (Total work)

⇒ A’s 1 day work = 30 ÷ 10 = 3 units

⇒ B’s 1 day work = 30 ÷ 15 = 2 units

Work done in 2 days (A + B) = 3 + 2 = 5 units

⇒ In 6 days (3 cycles), work done = 3 × 5 = 15 units

⇒ In 12 days (6 cycles), work done = 6 × 5 = 30 units

∴ A and B together working on alternate days starting with A will complete the work in 12 days.

The logic followed here is:

Given series is $\dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{1}{6},\dfrac{1}{18},\dfrac{1}{54},x$

Therefore, the value of 'x' is $\dfrac{1}{162}$.

Hence, "Option (2)" is the correct answer.

The correct answer is Option 1.

Key Points

• The error in the sentence is in the use of the word "sweetly" in Segment D.
• The adverb "sweetly" is incorrectly used to describe the taste of the honey.
• The correct word should be the adjective "sweet" which describes the taste directly.
• Since "tasted" is a linking verb here, it should be followed by an adjective, not an adverb.
• Thus, the sentence should read "it tasted sweet" to be grammatically correct.
• Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

Correct Sentence: "Ramesh licked honey and said that it tasted sweet."

Additional Information

• A: "Ramesh licked" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
• B: "honey and" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
• C: "said that" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.

Given:

Pipe A can fill the tank in 20 minutes

Pipe B can fill the tank in 30 minutes

Formula used:

Work = LCM of times taken

Efficiency = Work ÷ Time

Time taken together = Total work ÷ (Efficiency of A + Efficiency of B)

Calculations:

LCM of 20 and 30 = 60 units (Total work)

⇒ A’s 1 min work = 60 ÷ 20 = 3 units

⇒ B’s 1 min work = 60 ÷ 30 = 2 units

⇒ Total 1 min work = 3 + 2 = 5 units

⇒ Time taken together = 60 ÷ 5 = 12 minutes

∴ The tank will be filled in 12 minutes.

The correct mirror image of the given letter-luster when a vertical mirror is placed out the right side of the cluster is shown below:

Hence, 'option 1' is the correct answer.

Additional Information

In a mirror image Left changes to right and the right changes to left vice-versa.

When placement of mirror not given, By default we will assume it in Vertical direction.

The Letter adjacent to the mirror after the mirror image will adjacent to it just with the left change to right and right change to left vice-versa.

The starting letter of the word will be at last after the mirror image drawn with left changes to right and right changes to left.

The correct answer is Option 2)

Key Points

• In the phrase "I am understanding", the verb "am understanding" is incorrect.
• The correct verb should be "understand" because the verb "understand" is a stative verb that is not typically used in continuous forms.
• Therefore, the correct form should be "I understand" instead of "I am understanding".

Hence, the correct statement is I understand you like her because she has a generous nature.

Additional Information

• Stative verbs describe a state rather than an action. Examples include believe, know, love, hate, and understand.
• These verbs are typically not used in the continuous form (is/are/am + verb-ing).
• For example, we say "I believe," not "I am believing."

Given:

Length of the train = 120 m

Time taken to cross a man = 9 seconds

Formula Used:

Speed = Distance / Time

To convert m/s to km/hr: Speed (in km/hr) = Speed (in m/s) × 18/5

Calculation:

Speed (in m/s) = 120 / 9

⇒ Speed (in m/s) = 13.33 m/s

Speed (in km/hr) = 13.33 × 18 / 5

⇒ Speed (in km/hr) = 240 / 5

⇒ Speed (in km/hr) = 48 km/hr

The speed of the train is 48 km/hr.

Sandeep's birthday → Monday 21st May

Akash's birthday → 11th September

So, May has remaining → 10 Days

June → 30 Days

July → 31 Days

August → 31 Days

September→ 11 Days

Total days → 113 Days

Dividing 113 days by 7 (as there are 7 days in a week).

We get the remainder 1.

Thus, 1 day ahead of Sandeep's birthday will be Tuesday which is Akash's birthday.

Hence, 'Tuesday' is the correct answer.

The correct answer is Option 3.

Key Points

• The primary issue in the sentence is the incorrect use of the past continuous tense "was leaving" in the context of a specific past event.
• To describe a completed action that happened at a specific time in the past, the past simple tense should be used.
• The correct phrase should be "who left college" to ensure grammatical correctness and clarity.
• Thus, the error is located in part 3 of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is 3.

Correct Sentence: "It was my niece who left college last year, and not my son."

Additional Information

• 4: "It was my niece" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
• 2: "last year, and" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
• 1: "not my son." – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.

Given:

Annual Growth Rate (r) = 5%

Present Population (P) = 8820

Time (t) = 2 years

Formula used:

Population 2 years ago = $P \div (1 + \frac{r}{100})^t$

Calculations:

Population 2 years ago = 8820 ÷ (1 + 5/100)²

⇒ Population 2 years ago = 8820 ÷ (1 + 0.05)²

⇒ Population 2 years ago = 8820 ÷ (1.05)²

⇒ Population 2 years ago = 8820 ÷ 1.1025

⇒ Population 2 years ago = 8000

∴ The correct answer is option (2).

The logic is:

1^st image: (6 × 5) + (3 × 4) = 30 + 12 = 42

2^nd image: (4 × 4) + (7 × 5) =16 + 35 = 51

Similarly,

3^rd image: (4 × 6) + (8 × 7) = ?

=> 24 + 56 = ?

=> 80 = ?

Hence, ‘80’ is the correct answer.

The correct answer is: Dilemma.

Given:

One-third of sum (S) invested at 3% simple interest

One-sixth of sum (S) invested at 6% simple interest

Rest of sum (S) invested at 8% simple interest

Total annual interest = ₹600

Formula used:

Simple Interest (SI) = P × R × T / 100

Where P = Principal, R = Rate of Interest, T = Time

Calculations:

Let the total sum be S.

1/3 of S invested at 3%, so interest = (1/3)S × 3 × 1 / 100 = S/100

1/6 of S invested at 6%, so interest = (1/6)S × 6 × 1 / 100 = S/100

Remaining amount = S - (1/3)S - (1/6)S = (1 - 1/3 - 1/6)S = (1 - 2/6 - 1/6)S = (1 - 3/6)S = (1/2)S

(1/2)S invested at 8%, so interest = (1/2)S × 8 × 1 / 100 = 4S/100

Total Interest = S/100 + S/100 + 4S/100 = ₹600

⇒ 6S / 100 = 600

⇒ S = 600 × 100 / 6

⇒ S = ₹10,000

∴ The correct answer is option (4).

The pattern followed here is:

On adding 16 to a number, the number increases by 40%.

Find 20% of that number.

Formula used:

Let the number be x.

Given, x + 16 = x + 40% of x

20% of x = (20/100) × x

Calculations:

x + 16 = x + (40/100) × x

⇒ 16 = (40/100) × x

⇒ x = (16 × 100) / 40

⇒ x = 40

Now, 20% of x = (20/100) × 40

⇒ 20% of x = 8

Given:

A does 2/3 of work in 8 days

B does full work in 10 days

Formula used:

Total Work = LCM method (assume suitable unit)

Efficiency = Work ÷ Time

Time = Work ÷ Total Efficiency

Calculation:

A does 2/3 work in 8 days

⇒ Full work by A = (8 × 3) ÷ 2 = 12 days

Now, A = 12 days, B = 10 days

LCM of 12 and 10 = 60 units (Total Work)

A's efficiency = 60 ÷ 12 = 5 units/day

B's efficiency = 60 ÷ 10 = 6 units/day

Total efficiency = 5 + 6 = 11 units/day

Time = 60 ÷ 11 = 60/11 days

∴ Both A and B together can do the work in 60/11  days.

We are going to check by option

Clock gains 5 seconds for every 3 minutes

So, 100 seconds for every 60 minutes

Wrong clock shows time as 3:15, so in actual time will be less than 3:15

Thus option (a) and option (d) is not possible

From option (b),

Let 3:00 be the time in accurate clock

Total time duration = 9 hours

Clock gains in 9 hour = 9 × 100 seconds = 15 minutes

From option (b), we get the time 3:15.

Clock gains 5 second in 3 minutes.

Now total time = 6 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. = 9 hours 15 minutes.

⇒ 9 hours 15 minutes = 9 × 60 + 15 minutes 

⇒ (540 + 15) minutes

⇒ 555 minutes

∴ Total time gained by clock

So, 3 minutes → 5 sec.

      1 minutes → 5 sec\3

∴ 555 minutes → 5 sec × 555\3 = 925 sec.

⇒ 925 sec. = 15 mint. 25 sec.

So, In accurate the clock shows = 3:15 - 15 mint. 25 sec = 3:00 (25 sec)

Hence, 3:00 p.m. is the right time.

Given:

A's investment = ₹40,000

B's investment = ₹50,000

C's investment = ₹60,000

Time period for calculation:

• A invested for 12 months
• B invested ₹50,000 for 8 months, then withdrew ₹10,000, and invested ₹40,000 for 4 months
• C invested ₹60,000 for 9 months, then withdrew ₹40,000, and invested ₹20,000 for 3 months

Formula used:

The ratio of profit is determined based on the product of investment and time.

Profit ratio = (Investment × Time)

Calculations:

A's contribution = ₹40,000 × 12 = ₹480,000

B's contribution = (₹50,000 × 8) + (₹40,000 × 4)

⇒ B's contribution = ₹400,000 + ₹160,000 = ₹560,000

C's contribution = (₹60,000 × 9) + (₹20,000 × 3)

⇒ C's contribution = ₹540,000 + ₹60,000 = ₹600,000

⇒ Ratio = A : B : C

⇒ Ratio = ₹480,000 : ₹560,000 : ₹600,000

Divide by the GCD of ₹40,000:

⇒ Ratio = 12 : 14 : 15

Given:

14% of 250 + 65% of 380 – 13% of 630 = ?

Formula used:

Percentage formula: x% of y = (x × y) / 100

Calculation:

14% of 250 = (14 × 250) / 100

⇒ 14% of 250 = 3500 / 100 = 35

65% of 380 = (65 × 380) / 100

⇒ 65% of 380 = 24700 / 100 = 247

13% of 630 = (13 × 630) / 100

⇒ 13% of 630 = 8190 / 100 = 81.9

Now, combine the results:

⇒ 14% of 250 + 65% of 380 – 13% of 630

⇒  35 + 247 – 81.9

⇒ ? = 200.1

Given:

The mean proportion of two numbers is 40.

Their third proportion is 320.

Formula used:

1. Mean proportion = √(a × b)
2. Third proportion = b²/a

Calculations:

Mean proportion = 40

⇒ √(a × b) = 40

⇒ a × b = 40² = 1600

Third proportion = 320

⇒ b²/a = 320

⇒ b² = 320 × a

From a × b = 1600:

⇒ b = 1600/a

Substitute b = 1600/a into b² = 320 × a:

⇒ (1600/a)² = 320 × a

⇒ 1600²/a² = 320 × a

⇒ 2560000/a² = 320 × a

⇒ 2560000 = 320 × a³

⇒ a³ = 2560000/320 = 8000

⇒ a = ∛8000 = 20

Substitute a = 20 into a × b = 1600:

⇒ 20 × b = 1600

⇒ b = 1600/20 = 80

Sum of the numbers = a + b = 20 + 80 = 100

Given:

Simple interest doubles the principal in 10 years.

Formula used:

In simple interest, Total Amount (A) = Principal (P) + Simple Interest (SI)

SI = (P × r × t)/100

To find the time for tripling the principal:

3P = P + SI

⇒ SI = 2P

Calculations:

Principal doubles in 10 years:

• In the given sentence, the singular form of the verb 'deserves' is correct because the subject 'Each one of the participants' is singular.
• The verb must agree with the subject in number and person.
• Since 'Each one' is singular, it requires the singular form of the verb 'deserves'.
• Example: Each one of the students deserves a reward.
• Therefore, the singular form of the verb 'deserves' is the correct choice.

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

Additional Information

• Another option here doesn't suit with the tense of the verb and number of the subjects.
• Option 1) is deserving = Incorrect ( As present continuous tense doesn't suit with this sentence here)
• Option 2) have deserved = Incorrect ( As Present perfect tense is not justifiable here and 'have' is a plural helping verb here )
• Option 3) deserve = Incorrect (As the subject of the sentence is a 3rd person singular and it requires an additional 's' with the verb.

The pattern followed here is:

FOREST → 6 – 15 + 18 – 5 + 19 – 20 = 3

FRUITS → 6 – 18 + 21 – 9 + 20 – 19 = 1

CREATE → 3 – 18 + 5 – 1 + 20 – 5 = 4

Hence, the correct answer is "04".

The correct answer is Option 2)

Key Points

• The given sentence  is a first conditional sentence, which describes a probable future event and its result.
• In first conditional sentences, the structure is
• if + present simple + will + base form of the verb.
• We use the present simple tense in the if-clause (If I go) and "will" plus the base form of the verb in the main clause (I will stay).

Hence, the correct statement is 'If I go to Bangalore, I will stay with my nephew.'

Additional Information

• The first conditional is used to talk about real or possible future situations and their likely outcomes.
• Other structures fit different types of conditionals: second conditional uses "if + past simple, would + base form" for hypothetical situations
• Third conditional uses "if + past perfect, would have + past participle" for hypothetical situations in the past.

The correct answer is Option 4)

Key Points

• In the given context, the word "above" is the most appropriate choice to complete the sentence.
