  • (D): "can grow crops" is a standard modal construction.
  • (E): "at urban gardens" is incorrect; it should be "in urban gardens".
  • Conclusion: Segment E contains the grammatical error regarding prepositional usage.

  • Replace are with is.
  • In the given sentence, the subject (The United States of America) is a singular noun.
  • Subjects and verbs must AGREE with one another in number (singular or plural). Thus, if a subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if a subject is a plural, its verb must also be plural.
  • Hence, the correct answer is option B.

The correct sentence is: The United States of America is an ethnically and racially diverse country.

Additional Information

S follows T as it adds the verb 'remove' after 'to' in T.

Q follows  S as it fits grammatically after 'from' in  S. 

This leaves us with R which becomes the final part.

Therefore, the most logical and coherent way to form a sentence from the given options is option 2, i.e., PTSQR. The final sentence will be:

I was on a tech podcast discussing Google's decision to remove links to revenge porn from its search results when victims request it.

Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct/most appropriate options: 

Suresh and Ramesh were two brothers who lived in a small village surrounded by lush green fields. They were known for their peculiar profession – bamboo farming. The brothers had inherited their father's vast bamboo plantation and had been tending to it diligently for years. However, lately, there was a growing concern among the villagers regarding the strange occurrences happening in the bamboo farm.

One sunny morning, Suresh and Ramesh set out to inspect their beloved plantation. As they ventured deeper into the dense forest of bamboo shoots, they couldn't shake off the feeling that something was amiss. The bamboo stalks seemed unusually tall and thicker than usual. Moreover, peculiar markings adorned some of the stalks, resembling mysterious symbols. Concerned, they exchanged worried glances, wondering what could have caused this transformation.

Days turned into weeks, and the bamboo farm continued to bewilder Suresh and Ramesh. One moonlit night, unable to contain their curiosity any longer, the brothers decided to investigate further. Armed with flashlights and their courage, they cautiously explored the depths of the bamboo plantation. As they delved deeper, they stumbled upon an ancient-looking shrine nestled amidst the towering bamboo shoots. It was adorned with offerings and had an aura of mystical energy around it. Their concern grew, but their curiosity won, and they stepped closer to investigate this peculiar discovery.

Little did they know that the shrine was dedicated to a long-forgotten deity, believed to bring prosperity and blessings to those who honored it. The peculiar markings on the bamboo stalks were an ancient script, communicating a message to the brothers. As they deciphered the message, their concern transformed into excitement and awe. The deity was pleased with their devotion to the bamboo farm and had chosen to bless their plantation abundantly.

From that day forward, Suresh and Ramesh continued their bamboo farming with renewed vigor and gratitude. The villagers soon witnessed a remarkable transformation in the plantation, with bamboo shoots growing taller, stronger, and more plentiful than ever before. The peculiar happenings turned out to be a blessing in disguise, and the brothers' concern gave way to a deep sense of fulfillment and prosperity, all thanks to their unwavering dedication and their encounter with the mystical shrine.

The synonym for the word "concern"  is Option 3: Worry.

Key Points Worry: This is the correct answer. In the passage, the word "concern" is used to describe the brothers' feeling about the strange occurrences in their bamboo farm.

Worry is synonymous with concern as it denotes a state of unease, anxiety, or trouble.

Additional Information

  1. Distress: This word refers to a state of extreme worry, sadness, or discomfort. In the context of the passage, the brothers might have experienced distress due to the peculiar occurrences in their bamboo farm. However, it is not synonymous with "concern" as it conveys a stronger negative emotion.
  2. Enthusiasm: This word refers to a feeling of excitement, eagerness, or passion. In the context of the passage, enthusiasm might be felt by the brothers when they discovered the ancient shrine in their bamboo farm. However, it does not have the same meaning as "concern," as it represents a positive and energetic emotion rather than worry or apprehension.
  3. Delight: This word refers to a feeling of great pleasure, happiness, or satisfaction. In the context of the passage, the brothers might have experienced delight upon discovering the blessings and prosperity bestowed upon their bamboo farm. However, it does not carry the same meaning as "concern," as it represents a positive and joyful emotion.

Therefore, "common" is the antonym of "peculiar" as it represents something that is widely seen or unremarkable.
  2. Strange: This word is similar in meaning to "peculiar" as it describes something that is unusual or out of the ordinary**. It is not the antonym of "peculiar" but rather a synonym or closely related term.**
  3. Ordinary: This word refers to something that is normal, typical, or commonplace. In the context of the passage**, "ordinary" is the opposite in meaning to "peculiar," as it denotes something that lacks distinctiveness or uniqueness.**
  4. Familiar: This word refers to something that is well-known, recognized, or easily understood. In the context of the passage, "familiar" is the opposite in meaning to "peculiar," as it suggests something that is commonly known or easily recognizable.

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

An ancient shrine hidden among the bamboo shoots.

The correct answer is Option 1. 

Key Points Suresh and Ramesh discovered an ancient shrine hidden among the bamboo shoots.

  1. Mysterious markings on the bamboo stalks: Although the passage mentions peculiar markings on the bamboo stalks, these markings were not the cause of the brothers' concern transforming into excitement. They served as clues that led them to the discovery of the ancient shrine.
  2. A new species of bamboo that grew taller and stronger: There is no mention in the passage about a new species of bamboo. The transformation in the bamboo farm was attributed to the blessings received from the ancient shrine, not the growth of a new species.
  3. A secret treasure buried beneath the plantation: The passage does not mention anything about a secret treasure. The transformation in the bamboo farm was related to the discovery of the ancient shrine and the blessings it bestowed.
  4. A peculiar creature that inhabited the bamboo forest: The passage does not mention the presence of any peculiar creature in the bamboo forest. The focus is on the shrine and the blessings it brought to the bamboo farm.

The correct answer is Option 3: Peculiar markings on the bamboo stalks.

Key Points

  • The passage tells the story of Suresh and Ramesh, who noticed unusual transformations in their bamboo plantation such as taller than usual bamboos and peculiar markings on the bamboo stalks. This led to their determination to investigate further. During their exploration on one moonlit night, the two brothers found an ancient-looking shrine in their plantation.
  • They subsequently realized that the peculiar markings were actually an ancient script communicating a message from a long-forgotten deity who was blessing their bamboo farm.
  • Given this context from the passage, the statement "Peculiar markings on the bamboo stalks" is correct because it was while investigating these unusual markings that they stumbled upon the shrine. These markings, initially a source of concern, became a source of excitement and awe as they led Suresh and Ramesh to the understanding that their farm was being blessed by a forgotten deity. This finding fundamentally changed the brothers' perspective on the peculiar happenings, transforming their worry into gratefulness and dedication.
  • So, the unusual markings and the message they carried significantly influenced their outlook and approach towards their bamboo farm.

Additional Information

Choose the antonym of the word 'abundantly' ?

  1. ((a))

    Sparingly

  2. ((b))

    Excessively

  3. ((c))

    Scarcely

  4. ((d))

    Lavishly

  5. ((e))

    Profusely

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

Scarcely

The antonym for the word "abundantly" in the context of the passage would be Option 3: Scarcely.

Key Points

  • Scarcely: This is the correct answer. In the context of the passage, "abundantly" suggests a plentiful or ample quantity.
  • The antonym for "abundantly" would be "scarcely," which means in a limited or scarce manner, indicating a lack or insufficiency.

Additional Information

  1. Sparingly: This word refers to something done in a limited or restricted manner, often implying scarcity or frugality. In the context of the passage, if the word "abundantly" is used to describe something plentiful or in large quantities, then "sparingly" would be the antonym as it suggests something done in small amounts or with restraint.
  2. Excessively: This word refers to something done in an excessive or extreme manner, beyond what is necessary or desired. While "excessively" is an opposite in terms of quantity, it is not the antonym for "abundantly" in this context. "Abundantly" implies a large amount or plentiful supply, whereas "excessively" implies going beyond what is needed or appropriate.
  3. Lavishly: This word refers to something done in a generous, extravagant, or luxurious manner. While "lavishly" is an opposite in terms of extravagance, it is not the antonym for "abundantly" in this context. "Abundantly" refers to a large quantity or ample supply, whereas "lavishly" refers to the manner in which something is done.
  4. Profusely: This word refers to something done in a plentiful, overflowing, or excessive manner. While "profusely" shares a similar connotation of abundance, it is not the antonym for "abundantly" in this context. "Abundantly" refers to a plentiful supply, while "profusely" emphasizes the manner or extent of something, rather than the quantity itself.

Key Points

  • The correct sentences are:
  • A-E: They swore an oath of fidelity to their king.
  • B-D: Some intrepid individuals were still prepared to make the journey.
  • Part A and part E should join conceptually. Part A talks about 'they swore an oath of' and part E talks about the oath of 'fidelity to their king'. So, A-E is the correct combination.
  • Part B and part D should join conceptually. Part B talks about the 'some intrepid individuals' and part D talks about the individuals were still 'prepared to make the journey'. So, B-D is the correct combination.
  • Part C and part F cannot be joined because of grammatical errors. Part C talks about 'him spending many hours' and part F talks about 'deep contemplate' which should be 'deep contemplation'.
  • As a verb contemplate is to look at on all sides and or in all its aspects.
  • As a noun contemplation is the act of the mind in considering with attention.

Given:

Let the length and breadth of a rectangle be a cm and b cm respectively.

⇒ 448 = ab

⇒ a = b + 12

Solving,

⇒ a = 28cm and b = 16cm

⇒ Perimeter of a sheet = 2(28 + 16) = 88cm

⇒ Circumference of a circle = 2πr = 88

⇒ Radius of a circle = 14cm

∴ Area of a circle = πr2 = 22/7 × 142 = 616 sq.cm

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

Rs. 2200

Given:

Income = 9 : 11

Expenditure = 5 : 7

savings = Rs. 4400

Calculation:

Let the income of A be Rs. 9x

Income of B = Rs. 11x

Expenditure of A = 5y

Expenditure of B = 7y

So, 9x - 5y = 4400      ----(1)

11x - 7y = 4400      ----(2)

(1) × 7 - (2) × 5 gives,

63x - 35 y - 55x + 35y = 8800

⇒ 8x = 8800

⇒ x = Rs. 1100 

∴ Difference = 2x = Rs. 2200

∴ The answer is Rs. 2200

  

Savings = 9 - 5 = 4 ratio, 11 - 7 = 4 ratio

A.T.Q

4 ratio = 4400

Difference = 2 ratio = Rs. 2200

∴ The answer is Rs. 2200

  4. ((d))

    175/6

  5. ((e))

    250/8

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

225/8

Concept Used:

Total work is lcm of time taken by all persons individually

Formula Used:

Total work = Efficiency × Time taken

Calculations:

Let the efficiencies of A and B be a and b respectively.

Days taken by A and B to complete the work = 25

⇒ Total work = (a + b) × 25      ----(1)

B starts the work and after 9 days, A joins him and work is completed in 26 days

⇒ Total work = 9 × b + (26 - 9) × (a + b)      ----(2)

Equating (1) and (2), we get

(a + b) × 25 = 9 × b + 17 × (a + b)

⇒ 8a + 8b = 9b

⇒ a : b = 1 : 8

Now, Total work = (a + b) × 25

⇒ Total work = (1 + 8) × 25 = 225

Days taken by B alone to complete the work = 225/8

⇒ Days taken by B alone to complete the work = 225/8 

∴ The days taken by B alone to complete the work is 225/8.

 

 

B starts the work and after 9 days, A joins him and work is completed in 26 days

⇒ 25 = 9 × b + (26 - 9) × (a + b)    

⇒ 25 = 9b + 17 × 1

⇒ 9b = 8

⇒ b = 8/9

Days taken by B alone to complete the work = 25/(8/9)

⇒ Days taken by B alone to complete the work = 225/8

∴ The days taken by B alone to complete the work is 225/8.

  5. ((e))

    None of these

Show Answer
Answer: ((e))

None of these

Given:

Article cost price for A = Rs. 400

Formula Used:

If an article is sold at a profit of x%, and the Cost Price is CP;

then the SP becomes:

SP = [(100 + x)/100] × CP

Similarly, for a loss of y%, the SP becomes:

SP = [(100 - y)/100] × CP

Calculation:

CP for B = 120% of 400 = 400 × (120/100) = Rs. 480

Now CP for C = 110% of 480 = 480 × (110/100) = Rs. 528

∴ Amount C pay to B is Rs. 528.

Given:

5 years ago

Dave = 5 times his daughter

5 years later

Dave = 3 times his daughter

Calculation:

Let the present age of Dave be x and that of his daughter be y

Forming equations:

⇒ x – 5 = 5(y – 5)

⇒ x + 5 = 3(y + 5)

After solving we get,

⇒ x = 55 and y = 15

After how many years, he will be twice as old as his daughter

∴ 55 + x = 2 (15 + x)

⇒ x = 25 years

∴ After 25 years, Dave will be twice that of his daughter.

Hint

The problem can be solved from the options using (55 + 25)/(15 + 25)

⇒ 80/40

⇒ 2 (twice)

Answer: ((a))

Rs.8050

Given:

Investment amount ratio of A and B = 3 : 5

Profit of A is Rs.3450

Calculation:

Current Ratio = 3 : 5

Ratio of Next year = 3 × 110% : 5 × 88% = 3 : 4

A's Profit = Rs. 3450

Total Profit = 3450 × (7/3) = Rs.8050

∴ The total profit is Rs. 8050.

  4. ((d))

    Rs. 12340

  5. ((e))

    Rs. 11176

Show Answer
Answer: ((e))

Rs. 11176

Given:

Amount invested on simple interest = Rs. 11000

Formula:

Let P = principal, R = rate of interest and N = time period

Simple Interest (S.I.) = PNR / 100

Compound interest (C.I.) = P(1 + R / 100)n – P

Calculation:

S.I. earned by Raj in two years = 11000 × 2 × 20 / 100 = Rs. 4400

Total amount invested on C.I. after 2years = 11000 + 4400 = Rs. 15400

C.I. in 2 years = 15400(1 + 20 / 100)2 – 15400 = Rs. 6776

Total amount he got after 4 years = 15400 + 6776 = Rs. 22176

Total profit = 22176 – 11000 = Rs. 11176

A boat’s speed in downstream is 10 km/hr more than its upstream speed. If the speed of the boat in still water is 9 km/hr, find the time taken to cover 56 km downstream and 48 km upstream.

  5. ((e))

    14 hours

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

16 hours

Given:

Downstream speed = 10 km/hours more than Upstream speed

Speed of Boat in still water = 9 km/hr

Upstream Distance = 48 km

Downstream Distance = 56 km

Formula used:

Time taken = Distance/Speed

Downstream speed = Speed of Boat in still water + Speed of Stream

Upstream speed = Speed of Boat in still water – Speed of Stream

Calculation:

Let speed of stream be y km/hr

Speed of boat in still water = 9 km/hr

Downstream speed = (9 + y) km/hr

Upstream speed = (9 – y) km/hr

Downstream speed = 10 + Upstream speed

⇒ 9 + y = 10 + 9 – y

⇒ 2y = 10

⇒ y = 5 km/hr

Now, Downstream speed = (9 + 5) = 14 km/hr

⇒ Upstream speed = (9 – 5) = 4 km/hr

Time to cover 56 km Downstream = 56/14 hour

⇒ Time taken = 4 hours

Time to cover 48 km Upstream = 48/4 hour

⇒ Time taken = 12 hours

Total time taken = (4 + 12) hours

⇒ 16 hours

∴ The total time taken is 16 hours.

Given:

The number of marbles with A and B together = 50% of that with C

The difference between the no. of marbles with B and C = 37

The no. of marbles with A =12, 

Calculation:

Let A, B and C be the number of marbles be  A, B and C respectively.

Given A + B = (1 / 2) × C

⇒ 2(A + B) = C

⇒ 2A + 2B = C

⇒ 2(12) + 2B = C

⇒ 24 + 2B = C

⇒ C - 2B = 24     ---(1)

⇒ C - B = 37     ---(2) C > B as it is given A + B = 1 / 2 × C

Multiplying (2) with 2

2C - 2B = 74     ---(3)

Subtracting equation 1 from equation 3

∴ We get C = 50

 

Given:

The number of marbles with A and B together = 50% of that with C

The difference between the no. of marbles with B and C = 37

The no. of marbles with A =12, 

Calculation:

Let A, B and C be the number of marbles be  x, y and z respectively.

According to the question,

x + y = z × 50/100 = z/2

⇒ x + y = z/2     ----(1)

z - y = 37     ----(2), z > y as it is given x + y = 1 / 2 × z

From equation(1);

x + y = z/2 

⇒ 12 + y = z/2

⇒ y - z/2 = -12

⇒ (2y - z)/2 = -12

⇒ z - 2y = 24     ----(3)

Subtract from eq(1) to eq(2):

z - y - z + 2y = 37 - 24

⇒ y = 13

Putting the value of y = 7, in eq(3);

z - 2y = 24

⇒ z - 2 × 13 = 24

⇒ z - 26 = 24 

⇒ z = 24 + 26 = 50

∴ The no. of marbles with C is 50.

  4. ((d))

    300 m

  5. ((e))

    400 m

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

600 m

Speed of the train = (90 × 5/18) = 25 m/s

Let the length of train be y.

Let the length of platform be x.

Length of the bridge = 2x

Distance covered by the train to pass the platform = 25 × 30 = 750 m

(x + y) = 750     ---- (i)

Distance covered by the train to pass the bridge = 25 × 36 = 900 m

(2x + y) = 900    ---- (ii)

From (i) and (ii),

 y = 600 m and x = 150 m

∴ Length of the train = 600 m

  1. Only one floor gap is there between C and J and both lives in same flat number. J lives on one of the floors below N and both lives in same flat number. So, in case 1(a), C lives in 3rd floor and J lives in 1st floor because J lives on the floor below N hence N lives on floor 2. Case-1 (b) will be eliminated and In case 2, If we placed C on floor 1 and J on floor 3 then we must place N on floor 2 but there is also K available in floor 3. So, from this case-2 gets eliminated.

  • Condition 1: Seventh to the left of,
  • Condition 2: Seventeenth element from the right end.

Starting from the second condition, the

seventeenth element from the right end is Y.

Then, the seventh element to the left of Y is 4.

Hence, 4 is the correct answer.

  1. Whenever in such questions, a combination of opposite ends is asked; firstly add the positions mentioned- like here, 7th to the left and 17th from the right, so 17 + 7 = 24.
  2. Then, count from the end mentioned in the second condition i.e. on counting from the right end here, ‘4’ is at the 24th position.

          Therefore, 4 is the correct answer.

  • Condition 1: Eleventh to the left of,
  • Condition 2: Twenty-fifth element from the left end.

Starting from the second condition, the twenty-fifth element from the left end is 6.

Then, the eleventh element to the left of 6 is K.

Hence, K is the correct answer.

  1. Whenever in such questions, a combination of same ends is asked; firstly subtract the positions mentioned- like here, 11th to the left and 25th from the left, so 25 - 11 = 14.
  2. Then, count from the end mentioned in the second condition i.e. on counting from the left end here, ‘K’ is at the 14th position.

         

Hence, K is the correct answer.
