Key Points

• The word "Curator" refers to a person who is in charge of a museum, art collection, or archive. They are responsible for acquiring, caring for, and displaying collections. (संग्रहालय के प्रभारी)
• Example: The curator organized a special exhibition on ancient Egyptian artifacts.
• In the given question, Mia asked her cousin about the person in charge of a museum, which directly corresponds to the role of a curator. (संग्रहालय के प्रभारी का कार्य)

Therefore, the correct answer is: Curator.

Additional Information

Here are the other options explained along with their Hindi meanings and example sentences:

• Conservator (रक्षक): A person responsible for the preservation and repair of works of art, books, or other artifacts.
• Example: The conservator restored the painting to its original condition.

• Example: The director approved the budget for the museum's expansion project.
• Historian (इतिहासकार): A person who studies and writes about history.
• Example: The historian gave a lecture on the impact of World War II on Europe.

The correct answer is option 4.

Key Points

To identify the incorrect sentence, let's analyze the subject-verb agreement and noun usage in each option:

• Option 1: Ten percent of the students in the class speak three languages.
• When a percentage is followed by a plural noun (students), it takes a plural verb (speak).
• This sentence is grammatically correct.
• Option 2: Forty-five minutes is a very long coffee break.
• Units of time, money, and distance are treated as a single collective unit and take a singular verb.
• This sentence is grammatically correct.
• Option 3: His advice was perfect for the situation.
• "Advice" is an uncountable (mass) noun and must always be paired with a singular verb.
• This sentence is grammatically correct.
• Option 4: The academic committee were undivided in their decision to hire the new staff.
• The sentence is erroneous. A collective noun like "committee" takes a singular verb when the group acts as a single, unified entity. The use of the word "undivided" explicitly indicates that the group is acting as one unit.
• The correct sentence would be: "The academic committee was undivided in its decision to hire the new staff."
• Therefore, out of the given options, only sentence 4 is grammatically incorrect.

The correct answer is: Option 2 i.e. out of the blue.

Key Points

• The phrase "out of the blue" means something happening suddenly and unexpectedly, without any prior indication. (अचानक और अप्रत्याशित रूप से)
• Example: The announcement of her resignation came out of the blue for everyone in the office.
• In the given context, the board's decision to withdraw the bid was unexpected and surprised the stakeholders, making this phrase the most appropriate choice.

Therefore, the correct answer is: out of the blue.

Additional Information

Here are the other options explained along with their Hindi meanings and example sentences:

• Off the wall (अजीब या असामान्य): Refers to something unconventional, strange, or eccentric.
• Example: His idea for the project was so off the wall that no one took it seriously.
• Behind closed doors (गोपनीय रूप से): Refers to something happening secretly or privately, away from public view.
• Example: The negotiations were held behind closed doors to avoid media interference.
• Under fire (आलोचना के घेरे में): Refers to being criticized or under scrutiny.
• Example: The minister came under fire for his controversial remarks during the debate.

The correct answer is '3' i.e. stirred up.

 

Key Points

• The phrasal verb "stirred up" means to provoke or arouse strong emotions, reactions, or feelings in someone.
• In the given sentence, the context implies that the speech evoked strong emotions in the audience, which aligns perfectly with the meaning of "stirred up."
• Other options such as "put up", "brought out", and "gave off" do not fit the context or meaning of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

 

Complete Sentence: "Her speech was so moving that it stirred up strong emotions in the audience."

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: "put up" is incorrect because it usually means to tolerate or erect something, which does not fit the context.
• Option 2: "brought out" is incorrect because it means to reveal or highlight something, which is not implied here.
• Option 4: "gave off" is incorrect because it means to emit or release something (like a smell or light), which is not relevant to the sentence.

The correct answer is: Option 3 i.e. Malicious.

Key Points

• The word "pernicious" means something that is harmful, damaging, or destructive, often in a subtle or gradual way. (हानिकारक)
• Example: Smoking has a pernicious effect on health, often leading to serious diseases over time.
• The word "malicious" refers to someone or something that intends to do harm, either physically or emotionally. (दुर्भावनापूर्ण)
• Example: The malicious rumors spread by her rivals damaged her reputation.
• Hence, the word "malicious" is the most appropriate synonym for the word "pernicious".

Therefore, the correct answer is: Option 3 i.e. Malicious.

Additional Information

Here are the other options explained along with their Hindi meanings and example sentences:

• Harmless (निर्दोष): Something that does not cause harm or damage.
• Example: The stray dog is completely harmless and just wants food.
• Benevolent (परोपकारी): Someone who is kind, well-meaning, and charitable.
• Example: The benevolent king was loved by his people for his generosity.
• Helpful (सहायक): Someone or something that is ready to help or provide assistance.
• Example: The staff at the hotel were extremely helpful during our stay.

The correct answer is: 4) Philosophical.

Key Points

• The word "existential" relates to existence or the state of being. It is often used to describe ideas, questions, or philosophies about human existence. (अस्तित्व संबंधी)
• Example: The novel delves into existential questions about the purpose of life and the nature of reality.
• The word "philosophical" is closely related to existential ideas, as it refers to the study of fundamental questions about life, existence, and reality. (दार्शनिक)
• Example: She has a philosophical approach to challenges, always seeking deeper meaning and understanding.
• Hence, the word that best matches the meaning of "existential" is philosophical.

Therefore, the correct answer is: 4) Philosophical.

Additional Information

Here are the other options explained along with their Hindi meanings and example sentences:

• Decorative (सजावटी): Something that is intended to make something look more attractive, but is not necessarily functional.
• Example: The decorative vase on the table added a touch of elegance to the room.
• Psychological (मनोवैज्ञानिक): Related to the mind or mental processes.

• Cosmic (ब्रह्मांडीय): Relating to the universe or cosmos, especially as distinct from Earth.
• Example: The scientist gave a lecture on cosmic phenomena such as black holes and supernovas.

The correct answer is 'on the 9th of July'.

 

Key Points

• The correct preposition to use with dates is "on".
• The phrase "in the 9th of July" is incorrect because "in" is used for months, years, centuries, or long periods, not specific dates.
• The correct phrase should be "on the 9th of July", as "on" is used for specific days and dates.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

 

Complete Sentence: "Her birthday is on the 9th of July."

 

Additional Information

• Option 2: "during the 9th of July" is incorrect because "during" is used to refer to a time span, not a specific date.
• Option 3: "at the 9th of July" is incorrect because "at" is used for specific points in time or locations, not dates.
• Option 4: "No substitution" is incorrect because the original phrase is grammatically incorrect and needs to be replaced.

The correct answer is 'No substitution'.

 

Key Points

• The preposition "by" is used to indicate a deadline or the latest time by which something must be done.
• In the context of submitting assignments, "by Friday" correctly implies that the work must be submitted at any time before or on Friday.
• Options 1, 2, and 3 do not follow standard English usage for setting a deadline in this specific sentence structure.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

 

Complete Sentence: "Please submit your assignments by Friday."

 

Additional Information

• Option 1 & 2: "till" and "until" are used to describe a continuous state or action that lasts up to a certain point (e.g., "I will stay until Friday"). They are not used for one-time completion deadlines.
• Option 3: "at Friday" is grammatically incorrect; the preposition "at" is used for specific times (e.g., at 3 PM), while "on" is used for days of the week.

The correct answer is: Option 4, i.e., "She put all the important papers in a single file."

Key Points

• The word "file" is a homonym, meaning it has the same spelling and pronunciation but different meanings depending on the context. (फाइल/दस्तावेज़ रखने का स्थान या उपकरण)
• English Meaning: In the context of the question, "file" can mean:
• A tool used for smoothing or shaping materials like metal or plastic.
• A container or system for organizing documents.
• Hindi Meaning: फाइल का अर्थ उपकरण (धातु को चिकना करने के लिए) या कागजात रखने की व्यवस्था।
• Example for the first meaning: He used a metal file to smooth the surface of the rod.
• Example for the second meaning: She organized all the documents in a single file for easy access.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Option 4, "She put all the important papers in a single file."

Additional Information

Here are the other options explained along with their Hindi meanings and example sentences:

• Option 1: "He used the new file to smooth the" (इस वाक्य का कोई सही अंत नहीं है। इसका संदर्भ अधूरा है।)
• Meaning: Refers to using a file as a tool for smoothing metal or another material. (धातु को चिकना करने के लिए फ़ाइल का उपयोग करना)
• Example: The carpenter used a file to smooth the wooden edges.
• Option 2: "The technician used a special file to shape the plastic."
• Meaning: Refers to using a specific file as a tool for shaping plastic. (प्लास्टिक को आकार देने के लिए विशेष उपकरण का उपयोग करना)
• Example: The technician filed down the edges of the plastic with precision.
• Option 3: "He had to file his nails before applying the nailpaint."
• Meaning: Refers to using a nail file to shape or smooth nails. (नाखूनों को आकार देने या चिकना करने के लिए नेल फाइल का उपयोग करना)
• Example: She bought a new nail file for manicures at home.

The correct answer is Option 2.

 

Key Points

• Tense Identification: The original sentence "watered" is in the Simple Past tense.
• Passive Voice Rule: To convert Simple Past to Passive, the structure used is "was/were + past participle (V3)".
• Subject-Object Swap: The object of the active sentence ("the plants") becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
• Subject-Verb Agreement: Since the new subject "the plants" is plural, we must use the auxiliary verb "were" instead of "was."
• Consistency: The frequency phrase "every morning" remains in its position to maintain the original meaning.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

 

Correct Sentence: "The plants were watered by the old woman every morning."

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: "The plants was watered..." is grammatically incorrect because "was" cannot be used with the plural subject "plants."
• Option 3: "The plants are watered..." is in the Simple Present Passive, which changes the tense from the past to the present.
• Option 4: "The plants had been watered..." is in the Past Perfect Passive, which implies the action was completed before another past event.

The correct answer is: Option 1 i.e. Panegyric.

Key Points

• The word "Panegyric" refers to a formal public speech or written composition that offers high praise to someone. (स्तुति भाषण)
• Example: The author delivered a panegyric at the award ceremony, celebrating the scientist's groundbreaking achievements.
• "Panegyric" is the most appropriate one-word substitute for a speech or writing that praises someone excessively. (अत्यधिक प्रशंसा के लिए उपयुक्त शब्द)
• Example: The panegyric written for the retiring professor highlighted his immense contributions to the field of education.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Option 1 i.e. Panegyric.

Additional Information

Here are the other options explained along with their Hindi meanings and example sentences:

• Eulogy (शोकगीत): A speech or piece of writing praising someone, typically someone who has recently died.
• Example: The eulogy delivered at his funeral was heartfelt and emotional.
• Sermon (धार्मिक उपदेश): A speech on a religious or moral subject, often delivered during a church service.
• Example: The priest gave a sermon on the importance of forgiveness.
• Editorial (संपादकीय): An article expressing the opinion of the editor or publisher on a topical issue.
• Example: The editorial criticized the government's handling of the crisis.

The correct answer is Option 4.

 

Key Points

• Foment means to encourage, provoke, or stir up trouble, conflict, or strong feelings.
• Instigate means to incite or provoke someone to take a particular action, especially an undesirable one.
• Since both words convey the idea of provoking or encouraging an action, "instigate" is the most appropriate synonym of "foment".
• Hence, Option 4 is the correct answer.

Therefore, the correct answer is Instigate.

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: Flare – Means to burn brightly or suddenly become intense; it is not a synonym of foment.
• Option 2: Bother – Means to annoy or trouble someone.
• Option 3: Quash – Means to suppress, reject, or put an end to something; it is actually an antonym of foment.
• Option 4: Instigate – Means to provoke, incite, or stir up an action, making it the closest synonym of foment.

The correct answer is Option 2.

 

Key Points

• Direct Speech: The lady said to her friend, "When was the bridge built here on this river?"
• Key Conversions:
• Reporting Verb:
• The phrase "said to" changes to "asked" because the sentence is an interrogative (a question).
• Tense Change (Simple Past to Past Perfect):
• The simple past passive "was built" must be changed to the past perfect passive "had been built" because the reporting verb is in the past tense.
• Words Expressing Nearness:
• "here" changes to "there".
• "this" changes to "that".
• Sentence Structure:
• The question format (was the bridge built) changes to an assertive format (the bridge had been built). The question mark is replaced by a full stop.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

 

Correct Sentence: "The lady asked her friend when the bridge had been built there on that river."

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: Incorrect because it fails to change "this" to "that."
• Option 3: Incorrect because it retains the simple past tense "was built" instead of back-shifting to the past perfect.
• Option 4: Incorrect because "have been built" is grammatically wrong in this context and is not a past perfect form.

The correct answer is Option 1.

 

Key Points

• Tense Identification: The original sentence "has been being debated" is in the Present Perfect Continuous Passive voice.
• Active Voice Rule: To convert Present Perfect Continuous Passive to Active, the structure changes from "has/have been being + V3" to "has/have been + V1-ing".
• Subject Placement: Since the passive sentence uses the dummy subject "It," we introduce a logical subject like "They" to perform the action in the active voice.
• Completing the Context: While the original prompt had a slight typo ("whether the new enacted or not"), Option 1 correctly restores the likely intended meaning by adding "law will be."
• Verb Conversion: "Has been being debated" becomes "have been debating" to match the plural subject "They."

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

 

Correct Sentence: "They have been debating for months whether the new law will be enacted or not."

 

Additional Information

• Option 2: This is a complex sentence that rearranges the clauses but does not properly address the active transformation of the main verb.
• Option 3: This sentence is still in the Passive Voice ("has been debated"), just using the "whether" clause as the subject.
• Option 4: "Have been being debated" is still passive and grammatically redundant in this active context.

The correct answer is Option 1.

 

Key Points

• Direct Speech: He said, "What are you doing today?"
• Key Conversions:
• Reporting Verb:
• Since the sentence is a question, the reporting verb "said" is changed to "asked".
• Conjunction:
• In "Wh-" questions, no external conjunction (like 'that' or 'if') is used. The question word "what" acts as the connector.
• Pronoun Change:
• The second-person pronoun "you" is changed based on the object of the reporting verb. Since no object is mentioned, it is common to assume the speaker is talking to "me," so "you" becomes "I".
• Tense Change (Present Continuous to Past Continuous):
• The present continuous "are doing" changes to the past continuous "was doing" because the reporting verb is in the past tense.
• Time Expression:
• The word "today" is changed to "that day" in indirect speech.
• Sentence Structure:
• The interrogative form (Verb + Subject) is changed to an assertive form (Subject + Verb). Therefore, "are you doing" becomes "I was doing."

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

 

Correct Sentence: "He asked what I was doing that day."

 

Additional Information

• Option 2: "He asked what was I doing that day."
• Incorrect because it maintains the interrogative word order (Verb + Subject) instead of the assertive word order (Subject + Verb).
• Option 3: "He asked me what I was doing today."
• Incorrect because it fails to change the time expression "today" to "that day."
• Option 4: "He asked what I was doing today."
• Incorrect because it also fails to change "today" to "that day."

The correct answer is option 3.

Key Points

The misspelled word is 'Obfuskate'.

• The correct spelling is 'Obfuscate'.
• The word 'Obfuscate' is a verb which means 'to make something unclear or obscure'. (जटिल या अस्पष्ट बनाना)
• For Example -
• The politician tried to obfuscate the issue by giving vague answers.

Therefore, the correct answer would be 'Obfuskate'.

Additional Information

Let's understand the meanings of the other options - 

• Ubiquitous - present, appearing, or found everywhere (सर्वव्यापक)
• Magnanimous - very generous or forgiving, especially toward a rival or someone less powerful (उदार)
• Surreptitious - kept secret, especially because it would not be approved of (गुप्त)

The correct answer is Option 2.

 

Key Points

• Tense Identification: The original sentence "have visited" is in the Present Perfect tense.
• Passive Voice Rule: For the Present Perfect tense, the passive structure is "has/have + been + past participle (V3)".
• Subject-Object Swap: The object "Paris" moves to the subject position, and the subject "We" becomes the agent "by us."
• Subject-Verb Agreement: While the original subject "We" used "have," the new subject "Paris" is singular and requires the auxiliary verb "has."
• Maintaining Adverbs: The phrase "many times" is kept at the end to preserve the original meaning of frequency.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

 

Correct Sentence: "Paris has been visited by us many times."

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: "was visited" is the Simple Past Passive, which loses the "present relevance" of the original sentence.
• Option 3: "had been visited" is the Past Perfect Passive, which is used for actions completed before another point in the past.
• Option 4: "is visited" is the Simple Present Passive, which implies a general fact or habit rather than a completed experience.

The correct answer is Option 1.

 

Key Points

• Indirect Speech: She said that she would not leave her job.
• Key Conversions from Indirect to Direct:
• Pronoun Change:
• The third-person pronoun "she" in the reported speech refers back to the subject of the reporting verb ("She"). Therefore, in direct speech, it reverts to the first-person pronoun "I".
• Similarly, the possessive adjective "her" reverts to "my".
• Tense Change (Would to Will):
• When moving from indirect to direct speech, the conditional/past modal "would" is changed back to the future modal "will" to reflect the speaker's original words.
• Removal of Conjunction:
• The conjunction "that" is removed and replaced by a comma and quotation marks.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

 

Correct Sentence: "She said, 'I will not leave my job.'"

 

Additional Information

• Option 2: Incorrect because it keeps the sentence in the third person ("She") and retains "would," which is essentially just the indirect speech placed in quotes.
• Option 3: Incorrect because it uses "would" instead of "will." In direct speech, a person expressing a future intention would use "will."
• Option 4: Incorrect because it uses the third-person pronoun "She," making it sound like she is talking about someone else's job.

The correct answer is 'Option 3'.

 

Key Points

• While is used in the first paragraph of the passage.
• Example: "While advancements in medical technology have made surgeries safer and more accessible..."
• Apart from is used in the second paragraph.
• Example: "Apart from physical risks, plastic surgery can also have psychological consequences."
• And appears several times in the passage to connect words and ideas.
• Example: "infections, scarring, and even organ damage"
• Because does not appear anywhere in the passage.

Therefore, the conjunction that is NOT used in the passage is "Because".

 

Additional Information

• While – A subordinating conjunction used to introduce a contrasting idea.
• Apart from – A phrase used to add additional information besides something already mentioned.
• And – A coordinating conjunction used to connect words, phrases, or clauses.
• Because – A subordinating conjunction used to show cause or reason, but it is not used in the given passage.

The correct answer is 'Option 3'.

 

Key Points

• Option 3: "Many people develop an unrealistic expectation, which often leads to dissatisfaction..."
• The word "which" is used in this sentence.
• "Which" is a relative pronoun because it introduces a relative clause and refers back to the noun phrase "unrealistic expectation".
• The clause "which often leads to dissatisfaction" gives additional information about the expectation.
• Option 1: "Plastic surgery has become increasingly common in recent years."
• This sentence does not contain any pronoun, particularly no relative pronoun.
• Option 2: "While advancements in medical technology have made surgeries safer and more accessible..."
• The word "While" is a subordinating conjunction, not a pronoun.
• Option 4: "An excessive focus on outward beauty can promote superficial values in society."
• This sentence also does not contain a relative pronoun.

Therefore, the sentence containing a relative pronoun is in Option 3, where "which" functions as a relative pronoun.

 

Additional Information

• Relative Pronoun: A pronoun that introduces a relative clause and relates it to a noun mentioned earlier.
• Common relative pronouns: who, whom, whose, which, and that.
• Example: "The book which I bought yesterday is very interesting."

The correct answer is: Option (2) i.e. Focusing only on surface appearance.

Key Points

• Superficial means existing or occurring at or on the surface level, focusing only on appearance rather than on deeper aspects or details. It implies a lack of depth and thoroughness. (केवल सतही दिखावट पर ध्यान केंद्रित करना)
• Example: His understanding of the subject was superficial, only concerned with basic facts and appearances.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Focusing only on surface appearance.

Additional Information

Here are the other options explained:

• Deep and thoughtful (गहन और विचारशील):
• This phrase means an in-depth and reflective approach or thinking.
• Example: Her analysis of the poem was deep and thoughtful.
• Natural beauty (प्राकृतिक सुंदरता):
• This phrase refers to beauty that is inherent and not artificial or enhanced.
• Example: The natural beauty of the landscape was breathtaking.
• Healthy lifestyle (स्वस्थ जीवन शैली):
• This phrase means living in a way that promotes physical and mental well-being.
• Example: Eating balanced meals and exercising regularly are part of a healthy lifestyle.

The correct answer is: Option (3) i.e. An intense and unhealthy focus.

Key Points

• Obsession refers to a persistent, overwhelming, and unhealthy preoccupation with something or someone. It often implies an irrational or excessive focus that can be detrimental to one's well-being. (तीव्र और अस्वास्थ्यकर ध्यान)
• Example: His obsession with perfection made it difficult for him to complete any project.

Therefore, the correct answer is: An intense and unhealthy focus.

Additional Information

Here are the other options explained:

• A casual interest (एक साधारण रुचि):
• This phrase means a mild or passing interest in something.
• Example: I have a casual interest in photography, but I am not very passionate about it.
• A healthy habit (एक स्वस्थ आदत):
• This phrase refers to behaviors or practices that are beneficial to one's physical or mental health.
• Example: Brushing your teeth twice a day is a healthy habit.
• A harmless hobby (एक हानिरहित शौक):
• This phrase refers to an activity done for enjoyment that does not cause harm or injury.
• Example: Gardening is a harmless hobby that many people enjoy.

The correct answer is 'Option 3'.

 

Key Points

• Medical complications:
• The passage explicitly identifies physical risks such as infections, scarring, and organ damage as major negative effects of undergoing plastic surgery.
• Psychological issues:
• The text highlights that surgeries can lead to unrealistic expectations, which in turn result in dissatisfaction, anxiety, and low self-esteem if the results do not match an ideal image.

Therefore, the correct answer is Medical complications and psychological issues.

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: Incorrect because the passage states that repeated surgeries actually weaken the healing process, rather than making it faster.
• Option 2: Incorrect because the passage suggests that an obsession with appearance can damage mental health and erode confidence, rather than guaranteeing social approval.
• Option 4: Incorrect because the passage associates plastic surgery with increased anxiety and physical risks, not enhanced fitness.

The correct answer is: Option 1 i.e. draft; draught.

Key Points

• The word "draft" refers to a preliminary version of a piece of writing or document. (मसौदा)
• Example: She prepared a draft of the proposal before submitting the final version.
• The word "draught" refers to a current of air, usually one that is unpleasantly cold. (ठंडी हवा का झोंका)
• Example: There was a cold draught coming in through the window.
• In the given sentence, "draft" fits the context of writing the letter, and "draught" fits the context of the cold air seeping in through the window.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Option 1 i.e. draft; draught.

Additional Information

Here are the other options explained along with their Hindi meanings and example sentences:

• Option 2: draught; draft
• Explanation: This reverses the meanings, placing "draught" where "draft" should be and vice versa, which makes the sentence incorrect.
• Example: Not applicable in this context.
• Option 3: parse; pars
• Explanation: "Parse" means to analyze a sentence into its parts and describe their syntactic roles (विश्लेषण करना). "Pars" is not a valid English word.
• Example: I had to parse the sentence to understand its structure.
• Option 4: pars; parse
• Explanation: Again, "pars" is not a valid English word, making this option invalid for the given sentence.
• Example: Not applicable in this context.

The correct answer is option 3.

Key Points

The misspelled word is 'transcendant'.

• The correct spelling is 'transcendent'.
• The word 'transcendent' is an adjective that means 'surpassing ordinary limits or being exceptional'. (उत्कृष्ट)
• For Example - The artist's transcendent performance left the audience in awe.

Therefore, the correct part of the sentence with the spelling error is option 3 - transcendant.

Additional Information

Explanation of the other options -

• Option 1 - 'The prodigious violinist' is correct and has no spelling errors.
• Option 2 - 'with performances that were technically precise' is correct and has no spelling errors.
• Option 4 - 'in every respect' is correct and has no spelling errors.

Family Chart:

⇒ Ratio of work = 6 : 5

⇒ Ratio of money = 6 : 5

⇒ Difference = (6 − 5) parts = 1 part

⇒ Total parts = 11

⇒ 1 part = 6600 ÷ 11 = 600

∴ Difference in amount = ₹600

Shortcut Trick

Total work (LCM of 5, 15) = 15 units.

Efficiency: P = 3 units/day, Q = 1 unit/day.

In a 2-day cycle (P + Q), work done = 3 + 1 = 4 units.

In 3 cycles (6 days), work done = 4 × 3 = 12 units.

Remaining 3 units (15 − 12) are completed by P on the 7^th day (3 ÷ 3 = 1 day).

∴ The correct answer is 7 days.

Alternate Method

Given:

Time taken by P = 5 days

Time taken by Q = 15 days

Formula: Efficiency = Total Work ÷ Time taken

⇒ Total work done in the first 2 days (P on day 1, Q on day 2) = 3 + 1 = 4 units

⇒ Work done in 6 days (3 cycles) = 4 × 3 = 12 units

⇒ Remaining work to be done after 6 days = 15 − 12 = 3 units

⇒ On the 7^th day, it is P's turn to work.

⇒ Time taken by P to finish remaining work = Remaining work ÷ Efficiency of P = 3 ÷ 3 = 1 day

⇒ Total days required = 6 + 1 = 7 days

∴ The correct answer is 7 days.

Additional Information

Alternate Day Work

In alternate work problems, calculate the work done in one full cycle (e.g., 2 days if there are 2 people) and then determine how many full cycles fit into the total work.

Total Work and Efficiency

Total Work = Time × Efficiency. Efficiency is the rate of work done per unit of time and is inversely proportional to the time taken.

Remaining Work Calculation

Time for remaining work = Remaining Work ÷ Efficiency of the person whose turn it is next. Always check who starts the work on the first day.

• Prohibition is a writ issued by a higher court, such as the High Court or Supreme Court, to prevent a lower court or tribunal from exceeding its jurisdiction in hearing a case.
• This writ acts as a tool to ensure that judicial proceedings remain within the boundaries of the legal authority granted to the concerned judicial body.
• The writ of Prohibition is issued when a lower court or tribunal attempts to act beyond its jurisdiction or violates procedural laws.
• Prohibition is issued only to prevent an act from being done; it does not correct any action that has already been completed.
• It is a preventive measure and differs from other writs such as Certiorari, which is corrective in nature.

Additional Information

• Writs in the Indian Constitution:
• The Indian Constitution provides for five types of writs under Article 32 (Supreme Court) and Article 226 (High Courts).
• These writs are Habeas Corpus, Mandamus, Prohibition, Certiorari, and Quo Warranto.
• These writs serve as tools to enforce fundamental rights and ensure judicial accountability.
• Explanation of Other Writs:
• Habeas Corpus: A writ issued to ensure the release of a person unlawfully detained. It protects the personal liberty of individuals.
• Mandamus: A writ directing a public authority to perform a duty it is legally obligated to fulfill.
• Certiorari: A writ issued to transfer a case from a lower court to a higher court or to quash an order passed by a lower court that exceeds its jurisdiction.
• Quo Warranto: A writ questioning the legality of a person's claim to a public office.
• Key Characteristics of Prohibition:
• Jurisdictional Aspect: Prohibition ensures that lower courts function within their legal jurisdiction.
• Preventive Nature: It prevents unlawful actions before they occur, unlike Certiorari, which corrects actions that have already happened.
• Recipient: It can only be issued to judicial and quasi-judicial bodies, not administrative authorities.
• Examples:
• Suppose a lower court decides to hear a matter related to international treaties, which is beyond its jurisdiction. The higher court can issue a writ of Prohibition to stop the proceedings.
• If a tribunal begins proceedings in violation of procedural rules laid down by statute, Prohibition can be issued to halt such proceedings.

Important Points

• Article 32 and Article 226:
• While Article 32 empowers the Supreme Court to issue writs for the enforcement of fundamental rights, Article 226 gives similar powers to High Courts for both fundamental rights and other legal rights.
• Judicial Review: Prohibition is an integral part of the judicial review mechanism that ensures legal compliance and prevents abuse of power by lower courts and tribunals.
• Limitations: The writ cannot be issued against legislative bodies, private individuals, or administrative authorities acting in non-judicial capacities.
