• For example- Many employees were alarmed by the director's new stridency.

Therefore, the correct answer is- 'Stridency'.

The correct answer is 'BCA'

Key Points

• The last word of the fixed sentence is 'to' hence we know that we need a verb to make an infinitive.
• There are two verbs which are present in sentence B and C i.e. 'be' and 'live' if we connect this sentence with 'B' then it makes a coherent sentence.
• Similarly, 'you' is the subject for this we need a verb which is written in sentence 'C'.
• So, 'C' will be the first sentence after the given sentence.

 Therefore ,the correct sentence is- Life is never meant to be easy, especially if you live in a developing country like India.

The correct answer is 'Enjoying'

Key Points

• According to grammar, 'sat' is an intransitive verb
• For further elaboration we can use the object complement which can be a noun/noun/phrase/noun clause/adjective.

Therefore, the correct sentence is- We sat there enjoying the view.

The correct answer is 'Appreciated'

Key Points

• According to grammar, we need to follow the parallelism if the verb/noun/adjective is joined with the coordinating conjunction 'and'.

The correct answer is 'Nearly'

Key Points

• A description is being given about Sun.
• “Nearly” gives the closest essence as to describe the closeness to the term “perfect”.
• Also, in the given blank we need an adverb which is going to qualify an adjective 'perfect'.
• ​For example- The audience was nearly all men.
• So, according to the above explanation the correct answer is 'Nearly

Therefore, the correct sentence is- Sun is a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, with an ​internal convective motion that generates a magnetic field. 

Additional Information

• Near is not agreeing with 'perfect' and is also generally used to describe proximity and distances.
• For example- I left the box near the door.
• More 'perfect' is grammatically incorrect as it is used for comparison while here sun is the only subject
• For example- You like more sugar in your tea than I do.
• 'About' cannot fit as it cannot have “a” before it. We don’t say “Sun is a about…" 
• For example- Do you know anything about cricket?

The correct answer is 'upon'

Key Points

• In the given context, it is talking about jumping of a lady.
• Upon- Used to show that one object has been placed on other object.
• For example- She was seated upon a throne.
• Jumping up, into and in cannot be used as a table being a base, one cannot go inside it or jump upward. One can only jump across it, on it or upon it.

• Into- Used to a position in or inside something  
• For example- She came into the room.

The correct answer is 'Option 3'

Key Points

• In part 3 of the sentence, the usage of 'nor is it' is incorrect Instead, use 'nor it is'
• According to grammar, parallelism should be followed whenever we use correlative conjunctions. In the given sentence, 'neither...nor' correlative conjunction is used.
• For example- You neither know how to sing nor how to dance.
• We can see that the with 'neither it is' has been used so with 'nor it is' should be used.
• So, according to above explanation it is clear that 'the error lies in 3rd part of the sentence'.

Therefore, the correct sentence is- Acceptance is not about allowing everything to occur or to go on, neither it is related to passivity and weakness, nor it is about confirmation or mediocrity.

The correct answer is '3' i.e. error lies in this part of the sentence.

Key Points

• In part 3 of the sentence, the use of 'was' is incorrect Instead, use 'were'
• According to the rule of subject-verb agreement, the verb should be plural if the subject of the sentence is plural.
• ​For example- We were happy with the review of our first movie.
• In the given sentence, the subject is 'marks' hence the verb should be 'were'
• 'Due to' is a preposition and 'the snow' is the prepositional object hence there is no effect on the verb of 'the snow'.

So the correct sentence is- Due to the snow the marks were unrecognisable.

The correct answer is 'Cleverly'

Key Points 

• In the given blank, we need an adverb to qualify an adjective that is just written after the blank.
• The correct sequence is→ Adverb + Adjective + Noun.
• So the correct sentence is - They cite some cleverly worded performance.

The correct answer is 'Else'

Key Points

• 'Something else' is a phrase that means 'a remarkable person or thing'
• According to grammar, We use 'else' to exclude something i.e. 'besides'.
• According to the meaning of the sentence we need to exclude the true intention of the person.
• So, according to above explanation, 'Else' is the correct answer.

Therefore, the correct sentence is→ The true intention appears to be something else.

The correct answer is 'if'

Key Points

• The meaning of the phrase 'even if'→ to indicate that a particular fact does not make the rest of your statement untrue.
• Hence, we need to convey this meaning i.e. to contrast something.
• For example- Cynthia is not ashamed of what she does, even if she ends up doing something wrong.
• So, according to above explanation, 'If' is the best suitable option.

Therefore, the correct sentence is- Prices even if it is fertile agriculture land;

The correct answer is 'Degradation'

Key Points

• Before the blank, an adjective use i.e. 'Environmental'.
• For this adjective we need to write a noun which is followed by an adjective 'environmental'.
• 'Degrade' is a verb.
• 'Degrading' is a present participle.
• 'Degraded' is a past participle.
• 'Degradation' is a noun.
• So, according to above explanation, 'Degradation' is the best suitable option.

Therefore, the correct sentence is- 'Environmental Degradation; they want labour laws.'

The correct answer is 'and'

Key Points

• There are verbs before and after blank.
• To connect two words, 'And' Conjunction is used
• A conjunction is a word that is used to connect words, phrase and clauses.
• For example-  Rachel plays the piano and sings.
• So, according to above explanation 'And' is the best suitable option.

Therefore, the correct sentence is 'easy to hire and fire and exploit'.

Additional Information

• Let's see the use of other option also
• If- used to say that one thing can, will or might happen or be true.
• Thus- used to indicate a conclusion.
• So- to introduce clauses of result or decision.

Given → Train : Track

Train is related to Track as → Mode of transport of Train is Track

The table given below shows the correct relation that is required to represent similarity with the given word pair:-

As can be seen clearly only Truck : Road shows the similar relationship as Train : Track. Since, Mode of Transport of Truck is Road.

Hence, the correct answer is "Truck : Road"

The Logic followed here is:-

Second number = Interchanged digits of the first number

In 53 : 35

Second number = 35 (i.e, in place of 5 → 3 and in place of 3 → 5)

Similarly,

In 37 : 73

Second number = 73 (i.e., in place of 3 → 7 and in place of 7 → 3)

Hence, the correct answer is "37 : 73".

The pattern followed here is:-

PAL is related to RDP as

Similarly, MRF is related to OUJ as

Hence, the correct answer is "OUJ".

Given:-

1. Reptile - Lizard → True (as lizard is a reptile)

2. Mammal - Deer → True (as deer is a mammal)

3. Mammal - Elephant → True (as elephant is a mammal)

4. Rodent - Rabbit → False (as rabbit is a lagomorph belonging to the class of mammals)

Therefore, Rodent-Rabbit is the odd word pair as rabbit is not a rodent.

Hence, the correct answer is "Rodent - Rabbit".

The logic followed here is:-

First term → Second term - 10

1. In 20 - 30

First term → 30 -10 = 20

2. In 35 - 45

First term → 45 - 10 = 35

3. In 45 - 55

First term → 55 - 10 = 45

4. In 25 - 30

First term → 30 - 10 = 20 ≠ 25

As can be seen that 25 - 30 doesn't follow the logic and is therefore, an odd pair.

Hence, the correct answer is "25 - 30".

The pattern followed here is:-

As can be seen that AZX doesn't follow the same pattern as the other three letter cluster.

Hence, the correct answer is "AZX".

The correct order of the given words as they would appear in an English dictionary is as follows:-

2. Cherry 4. Chess 5. Chest 3. Childish 1. Chimney

As can be seen the word that comes at third position is Chest.

Hence, the correct answer is "Chest".

The logic followed here is:-

Addition of two consecutive numbers in the series = next number in the series

19 + 9 = 28

9 + 28 = 37

28 + 37 = 65

37 + 65 = 102

Hence, the correct answer is "102".

The pattern followed here is:-

Hence, the correct answer is "U".

According to the question,

Ratio of ages of Ankur's sister and his brother after 6 years → 3 : 2 

So, let the ages of Ankur's sister and his brother after 6 years be 3x and 2x respectively.

Present age of Ankur's brother → 32 years

Age of Ankur's brother after 6 years → 32 + 6 = 38 years 

Now, equating 2x = 38 (as the age of Ankur's brother after 6 years is 38)

x = 19

Present age of Ankur's sister → 3x - 6

(3 × 19) - 6 → 57 - 6 = 51

It is also given that the ratio of the present ages of Ankur and his sister is 4 : 3

So, let the present ages of Ankur and his sister be 4y and 3y respectively.

Now, equating 3y = 51 (as the present age of Ankur's sister is 51)

y = 17

Present age of Ankur → 4y 

4y → 4 × 17 = 68

Age of Ankur after 3 years → 68 + 3 = 71

Hence, the correct answer is "71".

Given word → STATEMENT

1. Men → STATEMENT (it is possible to form the word)
2. Same → STATEMENT (it is possible to form the word)
3. Start → Letter ‘R’ is not present in the word STATEMENT therefore, it is not possible to form the word Start.
4. State → STATEMENT (it is possible to form the word)

It is clear from above that the word Start cannot be formed using the letters of the given word.

Hence, the correct answer is "Start".

The pattern followed here is:-

FRAME is coded as IUDPH

Similarly,

ROYAL is coded as URBDO

Hence, the correct answer is "URBDO"

Given:-

15 - 6 + 10 × 3 ÷ 2 = ?

After replacing signs with their code in the given equation,

New equation → 15 × 6 ÷ 10 - 3 + 2 = ?

Now, after applying BODMAS Rule, we get:-

15 × 6 ÷ 10 - 3 + 2

15 × 0.6 - 3 + 2

9 + 2 - 3

11 - 3 = 8

Hence, the correct answer is "8".

Given:-

12 + 10 - 28 ÷ 7 × 4 = 48

Checking options one by one by interchanging signs:-

1. • and -

12 - 10 + 28 ÷ 7 × 4 = 48

Now, after applying BODMAS Rule, we get:-

12 - 10 + 28 ÷ 7 × 4 = 48

12 - 10 + 4 × 4 = 48

12 - 10 + 16 = 48

12 + 16 - 10 = 48

28 - 10 = 48

18 ≠ 48

Left hand side is not equal to right hand side.

2) + and ÷

12 - 10 + 28 ÷ 7 × 4 = 48

Now, after applying BODMAS Rule, we get:-

12 - 10 + 28 ÷ 7 × 4 = 48

1.2 - 28 + 7 × 4 = 48

1.2 - 28 + 28 = 48

1.2 + 28 - 28 = 48

29.2 - 28 = 48

1.2 ≠ 48

Left hand side is not equal to right hand side.

3) - and +

12 - 10 + 28 ÷ 7 × 4 = 48

Now, after applying BODMAS Rule, we get:-

12 - 10 + 28 ÷ 7 × 4 = 48

12 - 10 + 4 × 4 = 48

12 - 10 + 16 = 48

12 + 16 - 10 = 48

28 - 10 = 48

18 ≠ 48

Left hand side is not equal to right hand side.

4) × and -

12 + 10 × 28 ÷ 7 - 4 = 48

Now, after applying BODMAS Rule, we get:-

12 + 10 × 28 ÷ 7 - 4 = 48

12 + 10 × 4 - 4 = 48

12 + 40 - 4 = 48

52 - 4 = 48

48 = 48

Left hand side is equal to right hand side.

Hence, the correct answer is "× and -".

The logic followed here is:-

First number × Second number → Product of the two number × (-1) = Result

Given:-

In -4 $ 1 = 4

-4 × 1 → -4 × (-1) = 4

In 7 $ - 7 = 49

7 × -7 → -49 × (-1) = 49

In 3 $ 1 = -3

3 × 1 →3 × (-1) = -3

Similarly,

In -8 $ - 5

-8 × -5 → 40 × (-1) = -40

Hence, the correct answer is "-40".

The pattern followed here is:-

One upper case letter is changed to a lower case letter and one lower case letter is changed to an upper case letter while moving from the right end to the left end in each term.

ABABAbab → ABABabaB → ABAbabAB → ABabaBAB → AbabABAB → abaBABAB

As can be seen clearly from the above that the next term in the given list is abaBABAB.

Hence, the correct answer is "abaBABAB".

Given:-

1. A hiker walks 2 km South.

2. Then, he turns West and walks for 4 km.

3. Then, he turns North and walks for 5 km.

4. Then, he turns to his right and walks for 4 km.

5. Distance and direction of the hiker with respect to his starting position.

It is clear from the above diagram that the hiker is in the North direction which is 3 km away from his starting position.

Hence, the correct answer is "3 km North".

The least possible venn diagram for the given statements is:-

Conclusions:

I. All noodles are food → Doesn't follow (As no direct relationship is given between noodles and food. Thus, it is not definite that all noodles are food).

II. All food are noodles → Doesn't follow (As no direct relationship is given between food and noodles. Thus, it is not definite that all food are noodles).

Hence, the correct answer is "Neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows".

According to the given information:-

Here the letters that are present in,

Rectangle that represents Plumbers are → B, D, E, F, G, and H

Circle that represents Athletes are → A, B, C, D

Triangle that represents Gamers are → I, G, H, J

Square that represents cricketers are → C, D, F, G, I, K

We can see that the shaded part in the diagram as well as the common letters of figure circle and square that are emboldened i.e. CD denotes the set of letters who are Athletes as well as Cricketers .

Hence, the correct answer is "CD".

The pattern followed here is:-

Hence, the correct answer is "GWX".

The logic followed here is:

Hence, the correct answer is " 37 ".

The logic used here,

Second Number → Using the first number twice.

Third Number → Using the second number twice.

Let's check each option,

1) (1, 11, 1111):

As per the logic,

First Number = 1

Second Number = 11

Third Number = 1111

2) (2, 22, 4444):

As per the logic,

First Number = 2

Second Number = 22

Third Number = 4444 → Doesn't satisfies the logic.

3) (4, 44, 4444):

As per the logic,

First Number = 4

Second Number = 44

Third Number = 4444

4) (8, 88, 8888):

As per the logic,

First Number = 8

Second Number = 88

Third Number = 8888

Here, we can see that only Option 2 doesn't satisfy the logic.

Hence, the correct answer is " (2, 22, 4444) ".

Below is the mirror image of the question figure.

Hence, the correct answer is " Option 1 ".

When the unfolded cube is folded, the pair of opposite faces are,

 ⇔ 

 ⇔ 

 ⇔ 

Now, let's check each option,

1) 

→ Follows the pattern of opposite pairs of faces.

2) 

→ Follows the pattern of opposite pairs of faces.

3) 

→ It contradicts the pattern of opposite pairs of faces. 

 and 

 are adjacent faces in this cube, which is not possible.

4) 

 → Follows the pattern of opposite pairs of faces.

Here, we can see that only cube in Option 3 cannot be made.

Hence, the correct answer is " Option 3 ".

Given → A letter is represented first by its row number and then by its column number.

Let's check each option,

1. 77, 69, 43, 22 → T, O, M, B

2. 11, 88, 34, 55 → F, P, I, V

3. 42, 66, 12, 58 → F, W, E, R

4. 30, 65, 24, 65 → I, R, F, R

Here, we can see that the set of word for TOMB is (77, 69, 43, 22).

Hence, the correct answer is " 77, 69, 43, 22 ".

\(\left{ {{{\left( {49} \right)}^{\frac{3}{2}}} + {{\left( {49} \right)}^{ - \frac{3}{2}}}} \right}\)

\(\Rightarrow \left{ {{{\left( 7 \right)}^3} + {{\left( 7 \right)}^{ - 3}}} \right}\)

$\Rightarrow 343 + \frac{1}{{343}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{{117649 + 1}}{{343}}$

⇒ 117650/343

(4)¹¹ × (5)⁵ × (3)² × (13)²

⇒ (2²)¹¹ × (5)⁵ × (3)² × (13)²

⇒ (2)²² × (5)⁵ × (3)² × (13)²

∴ Total number of prime factors = Sum of the powers of the expression = 22 + 5 + 2 + 2 = 31

Concept used:

Rationalising the denominator involves removing all of the roots from the denominator of the fraction.

Calculations 

$\frac{{15}}{{√ 5 + 2}} \times \frac{{√ 5 - 2}}{{√ 5 - 2}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{{15\left( {√ 5 - 2} \right);}}{{{{\left( {√ 5 } \right)}^2} - \left( 2 \right);}} = \frac{{15\left( {√ 5 - 2} \right);}}{{5 - 4}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{{15\left( {√ 5 - 2} \right);}}{1} = 15√ 5 - 30$

∴ The correct answer is 15√5 – 30.

$x = \frac{{{{\left( {943 + 864} \right)}^2} - {{\left( {943 - 864} \right)}^2}}}{{\left( {1886 \times 1728} \right)}}$

$\Rightarrow x = \frac{{{{\left( {1807} \right)}^2} - {{\left( {79} \right)}^2}}}{{\left( {1886 \times 1728} \right)}}$

$\Rightarrow x = \frac{{\left( {1807 + 79} \right)\left( {1807--79} \right);}}{{\left( {1886 \times 1728} \right)}}$

Given:

Height of equilateral triangle = 2√3 cm

Formula Used:

Height of equilateral triangle = (√3/2) × a

Area of equilateral triangle = (√3/4) × a²

Where, a = side of the equilateral triangle.

Calculation:

⇒ Height = (√3/2) × a

⇒ 2√3 = (√3/2) × a

⇒ a = (2√3) × (2/√ 3)

⇒ Side = 4 cm

⇒ Area of equilateral triangle = √3/4 × side²

⇒ √3/4 × 4²  = 4√3 cm

∴ Area of equilateral triangle = 4√3 cm².

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3).

Percentage Increment in area of rectangle = I₁ + I₂ + (I₁ × I₂)/100

Given:

Total SI for 8 Years = 47500

Formula used :

S.I. = (P × R × T)/100

Calculation:

⇒ 47500 = (P × 10 × 5)/100 + (P × 15 × 3)/100

⇒ 47500 = 50P/100 + 45P/100

⇒ 47500 = 95P/100

⇒ 47500 = 19P/20

∴ P = (47500 × 20)/19 = 2500 × 20 = 50000

Given:

SP of a chair = 1386

∴ C.P of the chair = 1386 × 100/77 = 1800

According to the questions,

⇒ 48000 × (100 - 13)/100 × (100 - Discount₂)/100 = 39672

⇒ 48000 × 87/100 × (100 - Discount₂)/100 = 39672

⇒ (100 - Discount₂)/100 = 39672/48000 × 100/87

⇒ (100 - Discount₂)/100 = 57/60

⇒ 100 - Discount₂ = 19/20× 100

⇒ 100 - Discount₂ = 95

∴ Discount₂ = 100 - 95 = 5%

Checking 1^st Statement √144 × √36 < ∛125 × √121

Shortcut Trick

Total Work (LCM of 20, 35) = 140 units.

Efficiency: X = 7, Y = 4. 2-hour cycle (Y + X) = 4 + 7 = 11 units.

12 cycles (24 hours) = 12 × 11 = 132 units. Remaining = 140 − 132 = 8 units.

25^th hour (Pipe Y): 4 units filled. Remaining = 4 units. Time for X = 4/7 hours.

Total Time = 24 + 1 + 4/7 = 25 + 4/7 = 179/7 hours.

∴ The correct answer is 179/7 hours.

Alternate Method

⇒ Total Capacity = LCM(20, 35) = 140 units.

⇒ Efficiency of X = 140 ÷ 20 = 7 units/hr.

⇒ Efficiency of Y = 140 ÷ 35 = 4 units/hr.

⇒ Since they work on alternate hours starting with Y:

⇒ Work in 1^st hour (Y) = 4 units; Work in 2^nd hour (X) = 7 units.

⇒ Total work in 2 hours = 4 + 7 = 11 units.

⇒ Work done in 12 such cycles (24 hours) = 12 × 11 = 132 units.

⇒ Remaining work = 140 − 132 = 8 units.

⇒ On 25^th hour, Y fills 4 units. Remaining = 8 − 4 = 4 units.

⇒ Time taken by X to fill last 4 units = 4/7 hours.

⇒ Total time = 24 + 1 + 4/7 = 179/7 hours.

∴ The correct answer is 179/7 hours.

Additional Information

Alternate Day/Hour Concept

In alternate work, tasks are calculated in cycles. The order of pipes/workers significantly changes the total time if the work is not a perfect multiple of the cycle's total efficiency.

Pipes and Cisterns

Efficiency is inversely proportional to time. Filling pipes have positive efficiency, while leakage or outlet pipes have negative efficiency.

Speed = Distance/Time

⇒ 5/18 × 54 = 450/Time

∴ Time = 450/15 = 30 sec

45 is the lowest marks scored by F

So 50 is the 2^nd lowest marks that is scored by G.

Ratio of average marks = Marks scored by Div. D : Marks scored by Div. A

∴ Ratio of average marks = 60 : 75 = 4 : 5

∴ Marks of division F were lesser than that of Division C by = (80 - 45)/80 × 100 = 43.75%

Average marks of division A = 75

New average marks of division A = 75 - 5 = 70

∴ % decrement = 5/75 × 100 = 100/15 = 6.67%

Given:

L = 7 cm, D = 25 cm and B = ?.

Formula used:

D² = L² + B²

Calculation:

⇒ 25² = 7² + B²

⇒ B² = 625 - 49 = 576

⇒ B² = 576

⇒ B = 24

∴ Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L + B) = 2(7 + 24) = 62 cm

Number of sides, N = 5

Interior angle = [180° - (360° / number of side)]

Interior angle = 180° - 360°/N= 180° - 360°/5 = 180° - 72° = 108°

Exterior angle = 360°/N = 360°/5 = 72°

∴ Difference of Interior angle and exterior angle = 108° - 72° = 36°

∴ Volume of cube = (side)³ = 3.5³ = 42.875 cm³

∠X + ∠Y + ∠Z = 180°

⇒ 60° + 90° + ∠Z = 180°

⇒ ∠Z = 180° - 150° = 30°

∴ sec Z + 2/√3 = sec 30° + 2/√3 = 2/√3 + 2/√3 = 4/√3

Given:

The measure of angle V is 90°

tan U = 12/5

UV = 10 cm
