Given: 

The given numbers are: $\sqrt[18]{12}, \sqrt[9]{4}, \sqrt[12]{5}$ and $\sqrt[6]{3}$

Calculation:

The above numbers can be written as:

$12^{\frac{1}{18}}, 4^{\frac{1}{9}}, 5^{\frac{1}{12}}$ and $3^{\frac{1}{6}}$

Take the L.C.M of all denominator values = L.C.M of (18, 9, 12, 6) = 36

Now, take the power of 36 for each number.

⇒ $12^{\frac{36}{18}}, 4^{\frac{36}{9}}, 5^{\frac{36}{12}}$ and $3^{\frac{36}{6}}$

⇒ 12², 4⁴, 5³ and 3⁶

It can be written as:

⇒ 144, 256, 125 and 729

Now arrange them in ascending order:

⇒ 125 < 144 < 256 < 729

The corresponding smallest number = $\sqrt[12]{5}$ 

Therefore, "$\sqrt[12]{5}$" is the required answer.

Given:

$\frac{36 \times 4+25}{13}=\frac{104}{?}$

Concept:

Calculation:

According to the question,

⇒ $\frac{36 \times 4+25}{13}=\frac{104}{?}$

⇒ $\frac{144+25}{13}=\frac{104}{?}$

⇒ $\frac{169}{13}=\frac{104}{?}$

⇒ $\frac{13}{1}=\frac{104}{?}$

⇒ ? = 8

Therefore, "8" is the required answer.

Given:

$\frac{3 \times 3 \times 3+5 \times 5 \times 5}{(3)^2+(5)^2-3 \times 5}=?$

Concept used:

1. (a³ + b³) = (a + b)(a² + b² - ab)

Calculation:

According to the question:

⇒ $\frac{3 \times 3 \times 3+5 \times 5 \times 5}{(3)^2+(5)^2-3 \times 5}=?$

⇒ $\frac{3^3 +5^3}{3^2+5^2-3 \times 5}=?$

⇒ $\frac{(3 +5)(3^2+5^2-3 \times 5)}{(3^2+5^2-3 \times 5)}=?$

⇒ ? = 8

Therefore, "8" is the required answer.

Given: 

The given number is 1a2b3c.

Concept:

The divisibility rule for 11 states that a number is divisible by 11 if the difference between the sum of the digits at odd positions and the sum of the digits at even positions is a multiple of 11 or equal to 0.

Calculation:

According to the question,

Add the digit in odd position = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6

Add the digit in odd position = a + b + c

Now, 

⇒ (a + b + c) - 6 = 0 or 11

First case:

⇒ (a + b + c) - 6 = 0

⇒ (a + b + c) = 6

Second case:

⇒ (a + b + c) - 6 = 11

⇒ (a + b + c) = 17

Only option 1 satisfies the First case:

a = 4, b = 0,  c = 2

Therefore, "(4, 0, 2)" is the required answer.

Additional Information

Concept:

The divisibility rule for 11 states that a number is divisible by 11 if the difference between the sum of the digits at odd positions and the sum of the digits at even positions is a multiple of 11 or equal to 0.

Example: Check 286 divisible by 11 or not.

Add the digits at odd positions (1^st, 3^rd) = 2 + 6 = 8

Add the digits at even positions (2^nd) = 8

Now, find the difference between these two sums:

8 - 8 = 0

The difference is 0. Since 0 is a multiple of 11 (0 = 11 × 0), the number 286 is perfectly divisible by 11.

Given:

The average runs scored by him in first five days = 55

The average runs scored by him in last five days = 66 

On sixth day, he scored 50 percent more runs than scored on first day.

Calculation:

Let a, b, c, d, e, and f are the number of runs scored by the player on first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth days respectively.

The sum of runs scored by him in first five days = 55 × 5 = 275

⇒ a + b + c + d + e = 275    ---(1)

The sum of runs scored by him in last five days = 66 × 5 = 330

⇒ b + c + d + e + f = 330   ---(2)

On sixth day, he scored 50 percent more runs than scored on first day.

⇒ f = 1.5a

It can be written as:

⇒ a = $\frac{2}{3}$f    ---(3)

Now, substituting the equation (3) in (1), we get,

⇒ 2/3f + b + c + d + e = 275    ---(4)

Now subtracting (4) from (2), we get,

⇒ f/3 = 55

⇒ f = 165

Therefore, '165' is the required answer.

Given:

Adam purchased 20 percent more chocolates than Baali.

The price of each chocolate purchased by Baali is 50 percent more than the price of each chocolate purchased by Adam.

Calculation:

The number of chocolates purchased by Baali = x

The number of chocolates purchased by Adam = (100% + 20%) of x = 120% of x = 1.2x

The price of each chocolate purchased by Adam = y

The price of each chocolate purchased by Baali = (100% + 50%) of y = 150% of y = 1.5y

Now, 

The total money spent by Baali = x × 1.5y = 1.5xy

The total money spent by Adam = 1.2x × y = 1.2xy

The percent of money spent by Adam more than by Baali = $\frac{1.5xy - 1.2xy}{1.2xy}$ × 100 = 25%

Money spends by Baali is 25% more than that of Adam on chocolates.

Therefore, "25 percent" is the required answer.

Given:

The percentage of loss incurred in selling an article for Rs. 6,800 is equal to the percentage of gain earned by selling the same article for Rs.7,450.

Formula used:

Gain% = $\frac{\text {SP - CP}}{\text {CP}}$ × 100

Loss% = $\frac{\text {CP - SP}}{\text {CP}}$ × 100

Calculation:

Let C be the cost price of the article.

According to the question,

⇒ $\frac{C-6800}{C} × 100 = \frac{7450 - C}{C} × 100$

⇒ C - 6800 = 7450 - C

⇒ 2C = 7450 + 6800

⇒ 2C = 14250

⇒ C = Rs. 7125

Now, 

Selling price for 16% profit = (100% + 16%) × 7125 = 116% × 7125 = Rs. 8265

Therefore, "Rs. 8265" is the required answer.

Given:

In a certain store, the profit is 250 percent of the cost price. If the cost price increases by 20 percent but the selling price remains constant.

Formula used:

Selling Price = (100% + Profit%) of Cost Price

Calculation:

Let the cost price = Rs. 100

First Case:

Selling price = (100% + 250%) of Rs. 100 = 350% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 350

Second Case:

Increased cost price = (100% + 20%) of Rs. 100 = Rs. 120

Selling Price = Rs. 350

Profit = Rs. 350 - Rs. 120 = Rs. 230

According to the question:

The required percentage = $\frac{230}{350} \times 100$ ≈ 66%

Therefore, "66%" is the required answer.

Given:

By selling 45 laddus for Rs. 40, a man loses 20 percent.

Formula used:

Selling Price = (100% - Loss%) of Cost Price

Calculation:

Let C be the cost price of one laddu

First Case:

Selling price of 45 laddus = Rs. 40

Selling price of 1 laddus = Rs. $\frac{40}{45}$

Now,

⇒ $\frac{40}{45}$ = (100% - 20%) of C

⇒ $\frac{40}{45}$ = 80% of C

⇒ C = Rs. 50/45

Second Case:

To gain 20%.

Selling price of each laddu = (100% + 20%) of 50/45 = Rs. 4/3

Now, the number of laddus to be sold for Rs 24 = $\frac{24}{\frac{4}{3}}$ = 18

Therefore, "18" is the required answer.

Given:

There were 46 students in a boys hostel.

Due to the admission of eight new students the expenses of the hostel mess were increased by Rs. 42 per day while the average expenditure per head diminished by Rs 1.

Calculation:

Let 'x' be the original expenditure of the hostel mess in rupees per day.

Case 1:

The total number of students = 46

The average expenditure per head = Rs. $\frac{x}{46}$ per day

Case 2: When 8 new students are admitted

The total number student = 46 + 8 = 54

The new average expenditure per head = Rs. $\frac{x+42}{54}$ per day

According to the problem,

The average expenditure per head diminished by Rs 1, 

Therefore, 

⇒ $\frac{x}{46} - \frac{x+42}{54}$ = 1

⇒ $\frac{54x - 46x-(46 × 42)}{46 × 54}$ = 1

⇒ 8x = (46 × 54) + (46 × 42)

⇒ 8x = 46 × (54 + 42)

⇒ x = 46 × 12

⇒ x = Rs. 552

The original expenditure of the mess = Rs. 552

Therefore, "Rs. 552" is the required answer.

Given:

Present Age: The ratio of the ages of Dev's and his son is 4 ∶ 1 respectively.

After 11 years, their ages will be in the ratio 13 ∶ 6 respectively.

Calculation:

Case 1: Present Age:

Age of Dev = 4x

Age of his son = x

Case 2: After 11 years:

Age of Dev = 4x + 11

Age of his son = x + 11

According to the question,

⇒ $\frac{4x + 11}{x + 11} = \frac{13}{6}$

⇒ 6(4x + 11) = 13(x + 11)

⇒ 24x + 66 = 13x + 143

⇒ 11x = 77

⇒ x = 7

The present age of Dev = 4 × 7 = 28

The present age of his son = x = 7

Now, 

The age of Dev at the time when his son was born = 28 - 7 = 21

Therefore, "21 years" is the required answer.

Given:

Principal = Rs. 1200

Rate = 10% per annum

Time = 1 year

Formula used:

1. Simple Interest (SI):

$SI = \frac{PRT}{100}$

Where:

SI is the Simple Interest.

P is the principal amount (the initial amount of money).

R is the rate of interest per period (usually per year).

T is the time the money is invested or borrowed for (in years).

2. Compound Interest (CI):

$A = P \left ( 1 + \frac{R}{n \times 100}\right)^{nT}$

Where:

A is the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.

P is the principal amount (the initial amount of money).

R is the annual interest rate 

n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year.

T is the time the money is invested or borrowed for (in years).

3. Compound Interest = Amount - Principal

Calculation:

Case 1: Simple Interest:

⇒ S.I = $\frac{1200 \times 10 \times 1}{100}$ = Rs. 120

Case 2: Compound Interest:

Since the interest is compounded half-yearly, 

Therefore, 

n = 2

Now,

⇒ $A = 1200 \times \left ( 1 + \frac{10}{2 \times 100} \right )^{2 \times 1}$

⇒ $A = 1200 \times \left ( 1 + \frac{1}{20} \right )^2$

⇒ $A = 1200 \times \left ( \frac{21}{20} \right )^2$ = Rs. 1323

Now, C.I = Rs. 1323 - Rs. 1200 = Rs. 123

Now, the required difference = Rs. 123 - Rs. 120 = Rs. 3

Therefore, "Rs. 3" is the required answer.

Given:

A boat can cover 84 km upstream and 252 km downstream in 15 hours.

If the speed of the boat in still water is thrice the speed of stream.

Formula used:

1. Upstream speed = u - v
2. Downstream speed = u + v

Where, 

u = speed of the boat in still water

v = speed of the stream

3. Total time of Journey = Time of travel in Downstream + Time of travel in Upstream

Total time of Journey = $\frac{x}{u+v} + \frac{y}{u-v}$

Where,

x = distance covered in downstream 

y = distance covered in upstream

Calculation:

Let the speed of the stream = x 

The speed of the boat in still water = 3x

According to the question,

⇒ $\frac{84}{3x - x} + \frac{252}{3x + x} = 15$

⇒ $\frac{84}{2x} + \frac{252}{4x} = 15$

⇒ $\frac{42}{x} + \frac{63}{x} = 15$

⇒ 105 = 15x

⇒ x = 7

Let the speed of the stream = 7 km/hr

The speed of the boat in still water = 3 × 7 = 21 km\hr

Again according to the question,

The time taken by the boat to cover 126 km upstream = $\frac{126}{21-7}$ = 9 hours

Therefore, "9 hours" is the required answer.

Given:

Distance = 9000 m = 9 km

Speed = 90 kmph

Formula used:

Time = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

Calculation:

According to the question,

Time required = $\frac{9}{90}$ = 0.1 hour

In 0.1 hour a car cover a distance of 9000 meter with a speed of 90 kmph.

Therefore, "0.1 hour" is the required answer.

Shortcut Trick

Efficiency ratio of Arihant : Arun = 2 : 1 (since Arun is half efficient).

Total work = (Arihant total days × efficiency) + (Arun total days × efficiency)

Total work = (13 × 2) + (9 × 1) = 26 + 9 = 35 units.

Time for Arun alone = 35 units ÷ 1 unit/day = 35 days.

∴ The correct answer is 35 days.

Alternate Method

Given:

⇒ Arihant worked for 4 days alone + 9 days with Arun = 13 days.

⇒ Arun worked for 9 days total.

⇒ Efficiency of Arun = 1/2 of Arihant efficiency.

Formula Used:

⇒ Total Work = (Efficiency × Time)

⇒ Time = Total Work ÷ Efficiency

Calculations:

⇒ Let Arun efficiency = 1 unit/day, then Arihant efficiency = 2 units/day.

⇒ Total work performed = 26 + 9 = 35 units.

⇒ Time taken by Arun alone = Total Work ÷ Arun efficiency

⇒ Time = 35 ÷ 1 = 35 days.

∴ The correct answer is 35 days.

Additional Information

Efficiency-Time Relationship

Efficiency is inversely proportional to the time taken to complete a task. If efficiency ratio is a : b, the time ratio is b : a.

Combined Work Rule

When individuals work together, their daily efficiencies are added (E_total = E₁ + E₂ + ... + E_n) to find the total rate of work.

Work Constant Formula

For the same piece of work, M₁ × D₁ × E₁ = M₂ × D₂ × E₂, where M is number of workers, D is days, and E is efficiency.

Given:

A, B and C can do a work in 6, 8 and 12 days respectively.

Doing that work together they get an amount of total Rs. 1350.

Concept/ Formula:

1. The total amount of work done = L.C.M (a, b, c) units

Where, 

a, b, c are the time taken by A, B and C to do the work.

2. The wages divided among the workers is directly proportional to amount of work done.

If they work for the same number of days, then the amount of wages is directly proportional to their efficiency.

Calculation:

The total amount of work done = L.C.M (6, 8, 12) = 24 units

Efficiency of A = 24/6 = 4 units a day

Efficiency of B = 24/8 = 3 units a day

Efficiency of C = 24/12 = 2 units a day

Since they work for the same number of days,

Therefore the amount of wages is directly proportional to their efficiency.

Therefore, the ratio in which wage is divided among A, B and C = 4 : 3 : 2

The share for B = $\frac{1350}{4+3+2} \times 3$ = Rs. 450

Therefore, "Rs. 450" is the required answer.

Given:

Radius of the hemisphere = 14 m

The cost of painting = Rs. 5 per m²

Formula used:

Total surface area of hemisphere = 3πr²

Where, 

r = radius of hemisphere

Calculation:

According to the question,

The total surface area of hemisphere = 3 × $\frac{22}{7}$ × 14 × 14 = 1848 sq m

The cost of painting = 1848 × 5 = Rs. 9240

Therefore, "Rs. 9240" is the required answer.

Given:

A chessboard contains 64 equal squares.

The area of each square is 2.56 cm2.

Concept used:

Area of square = a²

Where, a is the side length of the square

Calculation:

Since the chess board contains 64 equal squares,

Therefore, the number of squares formed horizontally and vertically are 8.

It can be written as:

The number of small squares in horizontal direction = 8

The number of small squares in vertical direction = 8

Now, 

Let the side length of the small square = a

Area of each small square = a² =  2.56 cm²

⇒ a² = 2.56

⇒ a = 1.6 cm

Now, the length of chess board = 8 × 1.6 = 12.8 cm

Therefore, "12.8 cm" is the required answer.

Given:

The given table shows the number of workers in various departments with different age groups in a company.

Calculation:

According to the question,

The average number of workers in 21-25 age groups in all groups = $\frac{250+120+70+20+40}{5}=\frac{500}{5}$ = 100

The average number of workers in 26-30 age groups in all groups = $\frac{300+85+65+35+60}{5}=\frac{545}{5}$ = 109

The average number of workers in 31-35 age groups in all groups = $\frac{210+60+80+40+55}{5}=\frac{445}{5}$ = 89

The average number of workers in 36-40 age groups in all groups = $\frac{150+75+95+150+115}{5}=\frac{585}{5}$ = 117

∴ 36-40 age group has the highest average number of workers in various departments.

Therefore, "36-40" is the required answer.

Given:

The following line graph represents the sale of the number of Burgers at a shop for the seven days.

Calculation:

The number of burger sold on Monday = 172

The number of burger sold on Tuesday = 140

The number of burger sold on Wednesday = 185

The number of burger sold on Thursday = 156

The number of burger sold on Friday = 192

The number of burger sold on Saturday = 210

The number of burer sold on Sunday = 240

The average number of burger sold over of the week = $\frac{172+140+185+156+192+210+240}{7}=\frac{1295}{7}$ = 185

On Wednesday day, the number of burgers sold is equal to the average number of burgers sold by the shopkeeper during the given period.

Therefore, "Wednesday" is the required answer.

The correct answer is 'they will being eaten by bigger fishes'

Key Points

• The phrase 'they will being eaten by bigger fishes' is grammatically incorrect.
• The incorrect part is the usage of 'being eaten' after 'will'.
• 'will' is a modal verb that requires the base form of a verb to follow it.
• The corrected segment of the sentence would be 'they will be eaten by bigger fishes'.
• Here, 'be eaten' is in the passive voice, which is the correct form to use when the subject of the sentence is the recipient of the action.
• The correct usage of 'will' followed by 'be' and then the past participle of the verb (in this case 'eaten') forms the future passive voice.
• This voice is used when the focus is on the action that will happen to the subject in the future, not who or what will perform the action.
• One important rule in English grammar is ensuring the correct use of verb tenses and forms.
• In this case, the transformative nature of the sentence from active to passive requires a specific verb form.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

The correct answer is 'No error'

 Key Points

• The sentence "How can the governments achieve a state of a clean environment in cities in future?" is grammatically correct.
• All words and phrases are used properly, and the sentence construction follows standard English syntax rules.
• The use of 'can' is appropriate as it is used to express possibility or capability.
• "The governments" correctly refers to multiple governing bodies that may be involved in the improvement of the environment.
• The phrase 'a state of a clean environment' is a grammatically correct use of 'a state of', which is referring to a condition or way of being, in this case being 'clean' or pollution-free.
• The phrase 'in cities in future' correctly uses 'in' as a preposition denoting location (cities) and time (future).

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

The correct answer is 'is the penguin'

 Key Points

• The underlined segment 'are a penguins' is incorrect due to a disagreement in number between the verb 'are' and the singular noun 'a penguin'.
• The verb 'are' is used for plural subjects, while 'is' is used for singular subjects.
• Thus, 'is' should be used since the noun 'penguin' is singular in this context.
• The use of the indefinite article 'a' before 'penguins' is also incorrect due to the mismatch in number.
• The definite article 'the' should be used referring to a specific category of animals.
• In sum, the correct substitute for the underlined segment should be 'is the penguin', which maintains the subject-verb agreement and corrects the usage of articles.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

The correct answer is 'do over'

 Key Points

• The phrase 'do away' is not appropriate in this context.
• 'Do away' typically means 'to get rid of something' or 'to dispose of', and isn't accurate when speaking about completing an assignment.
• 'Do over' is an idiomatic expression meaning 'to redo or start again', which fits the context appropriately.
• The teacher is asking the student to redo the assignment and then submit it.
• It's important to note that idiomatic expressions vary in meaning depending on context, so it's crucial to select the expression that best fits the intended message.
• The use of prepositions (in this case 'over') can also significantly alter the meaning of a verb, hence changing 'do away' to 'do over' drastically changes the meaning of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

 Additional Information

• 'do up' generally means making something tidy or presentable, inappropriate in this context.
• 'do away with' means to get rid of or eliminate, matching the context but still incomplete.
• 'Do over': A phrase indicating that an action or task should be completed again, typically to improve upon it.

The correct answer is 'spread'

 Key Points

• In this context, 'spread' is the best fit to complete the sentence.
• The verb 'spread' is commonly used when discussing the distribution or dissemination of information or awareness.
• The sentence is in the passive voice and the verb 'used' clearly indicates past actions.
• Hence, the verb that follows should also be in its base form (spread), conveying an action that is a result of the strategies.
• Using 'spread' maintains the coherence of the sentence by indicating that the strategies have helped distribute (spread) awareness.
• 'spreading', 'had spread', and 'have spread' are grammatically incorrect in this context as these forms do not align with the sentence structure set by 'have been used to'.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

The correct answer is 'dwell'

 Key Points

• 'Dwell' is the most appropriate word to fill in the blank. In this context, it means to think, speak, or write at length about (a particular subject, especially something unpleasant or problematic).
• 'Dwell' is an infinitive verb in this sentence, in that it follows 'to' and expresses a certain action. Since the sentence describes an ongoing, continuous activity (going over past misfortunes), 'dwell' is suitable.
• Using the simple base form of the verb after 'To' is a standard grammar rule.
• The word 'dwell' follows this rule, making it the correct option.
• The verb 'dwell' accurately captures the tone of the sentence, which suggests overstaying or lingering on past issues, resulting in sadness.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

The correct answer is 'refrain'

 Key Points

• The verb 'refrain' is the best fit for this sentence.
• 'Refrain' means to stop oneself from doing something, aligning perfectly with the context: preventing oneself from making negative remarks.
• Using 'refrain' communicates a clear and polite directive as it is often used in formal language to indicate abstaining from a certain action.
• The verb 'refrain' must be followed by 'from' and a gerund (-ing form of a verb) as per standard English language usage.
• The choice of the word 'refrain' emphasizes self-discipline and control over one’s response, which is the main drive of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

 Additional Information

• 'abstain' implies a formal act of voluntarily abstaining, which is overly formal for this context.
• 'keep up' means to maintain or sustain a certain level or pace, not fitting in this context.
• 'going' is incorrect because it does not follow the grammatical structure set by 'to'

The correct answer is 'RQPS'

 Key Points

• The logical flow of ideas should start by setting the context, which is 'R: the early human beings lived differently'.
• Then, the comparison introduced in statement 'R' can be expanded using 'Q: unlike today's simpler and easier life', explaining in what way early human beings lived differently.
• After this comparison, we can bring in 'P: with advanced tool and technology', which is referring to today's life mentioned in 'Q'.
• Finally, we can conclude the sequence with 'S: making best gadgets and facilities available easily'. This adds detail to the idea introduced in 'P', providing specific examples of how technology has made life simpler and easier.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.
