Given data: 

Cost Price of sugar per kg (CP) = Rs. 40

Selling Price of sugar per kg (SP) = Rs. x

Fault in weighing machine: It shows 1 kg for 800 gm

Profit Percentage = 30%

Concept Used:

The profit percentage is calculated on the cost price. We also need to consider the fault in the weighing machine.

Solution:

Profit per kg of sugar is 30% of cost price, therefore,

⇒ Profit = 30/100 × CP = 30/100 × 40 = Rs. 12.

The actual Selling Price (SP) per kg would be,

⇒ CP + Profit = Rs. 40 + Rs. 12 = Rs. 52.

But due to the fault in the weighing machine, the customer receives only 800g when they pay for 1 kg.

This means that he is earning Rs. 52 for every 800g sold.

The selling price per kg (x), due to the weighing machine error, 

⇒ x = (52 / 800) × 1000 = Rs. 65.

However, the price per kg should be calculated,

On the basis of the cost price of 800g as it is the actual weight of the sugar sold for Rs. 40.

The actual cost price for 800g = Rs. 40/kg × 0.8 = Rs. 32.

If the profit is 30%,

The selling price (SP) of 800g

⇒ 130% of actual CP = 1.3 × 32 = Rs. 41.6.

Due to the weighing machine error, this is the price per kg the customer is charged.

Therefore, the value of x per kg if his profit percentage is 30% is Rs. 41.6.

Shortcut Trick

For a period of 2 years, the ratio of the difference between Compound Interest and Simple Interest to the Principal is the square of the Rate factor.

Formula: Difference % = (r/100)² × 100%

Given Difference = 144% of Sum ⇒ 144 = (r/100)² × 100

⇒ 1.44 = (r/100)²

⇒ r/100 = √1.44 = 1.2

⇒ r = 120%

∴ The correct answer is 120%.

Alternate Method

Given:

Time (n) = 2 years

Difference between Compound Interest (CI) and Simple Interest (SI) = 144% of Principal (P)

Formula Used:

The difference between CI and SI for 2 years is: Difference = P × (r/100)²

Calculations:

⇒ 144% of P = P × (r/100)²

⇒ (144/100) × P = P × (r/100)²

⇒ 144/100 = (r/100)²

⇒ (12/10)² = (r/100)²

⇒ 1.2 = r/100

⇒ r = 1.2 × 100

⇒ r = 120%

∴ The correct answer is 120%.

Additional Information

Difference for 3 Years

The difference between CI and SI for 3 years is given by D = P(r/100)² × (3 + r/100).

Effective Rate of CI

For 2 years, the effective interest rate of CI is r + r + (r × r)/100, while for SI it is simply 2r.

Compounding Period

If interest is compounded half-yearly, the rate is halved (r/2) and the time is doubled (2n) in the calculations.

Given:

r = 7 cm

Total Surface Area = 1144 cm²

Formula Used:

Total Surface Area of Cylinder = 2πr(h + r)

Calculation:

​

Substituting these values into the formula

⇒ 1144 = 2 × (22/7) × 7 × (h + 7)

Simplify the equation:

⇒ 1144 = 44 × (h + 7)

Divide both sides by 44

⇒ 1144 / 44 = h + 7

⇒ 26 = h + 7

Finally, solve for h:

⇒ h = 26 - 7 = 19 cm

So, the height of the cylinder is 19 cm.

Given data:

Distance travelled upstream = 15 km

Distance travelled downstream = 18 km

Time taken to travel upstream = Time taken to travel downstream = 3 hours

Formula Used:

Speed of the current = (Downstream speed - Upstream speed) ÷ 2

Calculation:

Calculate the speeds of man (m) and current (c)

⇒ Upstream speed = distance ÷ time = 15 km ÷ 3 h = 5 km/h (m - c = 5 km/h)

⇒ Downstream speed = distance ÷ time = 18 km ÷ 3 h = 6 km/h (m + c = 6 km/h)

Solving these equations for c:

⇒ c = (m + c - m + c) ÷ 2 = (6 km/h - 5 km/h) ÷ 2 = $\frac{1}{2}$ km/h

Therefore, the speed of the current is $\frac{1}{2}$ km/h.

Alternate Method Let, the speed of the boat = x

Speed of Stream = y

⇒ x + y = 6 km\hr

⇒ x - y = 5 km/hr

⇒ x = 11/2 km/hr and y = 1/2 km/hr.

∴ The speed of Current is 1/2 km/hr.

Given data:

Radius (r) of the hemisphere = 21 cm

Concept or formula:

Volume of a hemisphere = 2/3πr³

Calculation:

Substitute the given values in the formula

⇒ Volume = 2/3 × 22/7 × 21³ = 19404 cm³

Hence, the volume of the hemisphere is 19404 cm³.

Given:

M can do the work in 12 days.

N can do the work in 24 days.

M leaves 6 days before completion.

Concept/Formula used:

Work done = Efficiency × Time.

Efficiency here is the amount of work done by M and N in one day.

Solution:

Calculate LCM of 12, 24

⇒ LCM = 24 (total work)

Efficiency of M:

⇒ 24/12 = 2 units/day

Efficiency of N:

⇒ 24/24 = 1 unit/day

Combined efficiency of M and N:

⇒ 2 + 1 = 3 units/day

Work done by N alone in the last 6 days:

⇒ 1 unit/day × 6 days = 6 units

Remaining work (done by M and N):

⇒ 24 units - 6 units = 18 units

Time for M and N to do remaining work:

⇒ 18 units ÷ 3 units/day = 6 days

Total time =  6 days (M and N together) + 6 days (N alone) = 12 days

Hence, the total time to complete the work is 12 days.

Shortcut Trick

The population is expected to decrease by 4%, meaning the new population will be (100 − 4)% = 96% of the original.

New Population = 96% of 24000

⇒ 24000 × (96 ÷ 100) = 240 × 96

⇒ 23040

∴ The correct answer is 23040.

Alternate Method

Given:

Initial population of the village = 24000

Expected rate of decrease = 4% per year

Formula Used:

New Value = Initial Value × (1 − Rate ÷ 100)

Current Population: 24000 (100%)

New Population (96%)

−4%

23040

Calculations:

⇒ Decrease in population = 4% of 24000

⇒ Decrease = (4 ÷ 100) × 24000

⇒ Decrease = 4 × 240

⇒ Decrease = 960

⇒ Population next year = Initial population − Decrease

⇒ Population next year = 24000 − 960

⇒ Population next year = 23040

∴ The correct answer is 23040.

Additional Information

Percentage Increase / Decrease

Percentage change = (Difference in value ÷ Original value) × 100

Population after n years

If population P increases or decreases by R% annually, Population after n years = P × (1 ± R ÷ 100)ⁿ

Successive Percentage Change

Net % change = x + y + (x × y) ÷ 100, where x and y are the percentage changes.

Shortcut Trick

To find the LCM of any set of fractions, use the direct formula:

LCM of Fractions = LCM of Numerators ÷ HCF of Denominators

LCM of (2, 4, 6) = 12

HCF of (5, 15, 25) = 5

Resulting LCM = 12/5

∴ The correct answer is 12/5.

Alternate Method

Given Fractions: 2/5, 4/15, and 6/25

Formula Used: LCM of (a/b, c/d, e/f) = LCM(a, c, e) / HCF(b, d, f)

Step 1: Calculate LCM of Numerators

⇒ Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, ...

⇒ Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, ...

⇒ Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, ...

⇒ Least Common Multiple (LCM) = 12

Step 2: Calculate HCF of Denominators

⇒ Factors of 5: 1, 5

⇒ Factors of 15: 1, 3, 5, 15

⇒ Factors of 25: 1, 5, 25

⇒ Highest Common Factor (HCF) = 5

Step 3: Combine values

⇒ Final LCM = 12 / 5

∴ The correct answer is 12/5.

Additional Information

HCF of Fractions

To find the HCF of fractions, use the formula: HCF of Fractions = HCF of Numerators ÷ LCM of Denominators.

Simplified Form

Before applying these formulas, ensure all fractions are reduced to their simplest/lowest terms (simplifying common factors between the numerator and denominator of each individual fraction).

Product of Numbers Rule

For any two numbers x and y, the relation is: LCM(x, y) × HCF(x, y) = x × y.

Given data:

Ravi's time to decorate a wall = 6 hours

Ankita's time to decorate the same wall = 10 hours

Concept or formula:

Time taken to complete the work when working simultaneously = 1 / (1/A + 1/B)

Calculation:

Substitute the given values in the formula

⇒ Time = 1 / (1/6 + 1/10) = 1 / (5/30 + 3/30) = 1 / (8/30) = 3.75 hours

Therefore, Ravi and Ankita can decorate the wall in 3.75 hours when working simultaneously.

Given data:

Marked price (MP) = 145% of cost price (CP)

Discount = 20%

Concept or formula:

Profit % = 100 × [(MP × (100 - discount %)/100 - CP)/CP]

Calculation:

Substitute the given values in the formula

⇒ Profit % = 100 × [(145 × (100 - 20)/100 - 100)/100] = 16%

Hence, the profit percentage of the dealer is 16%.

Shortcut Trick

Using the Net Deviation Method from the mixture average price (Rs. 70/kg):

Deviation of Type 1 (8 kg) = 8 × (60 − 70) = −80 Rs.

To balance the mixture, Type 2 (4 kg) must have a total opposite deviation of +80 Rs.

Deviation per kg for Type 2 = +80 ÷ 4 = +20 Rs/kg.

Price of Type 2 rice = 70 + 20 = 90 Rs/kg.

∴ The correct answer is Rs. 90.

Alternate Method

Given:

Price of Type 1 rice (P₁) = Rs. 60/kg

Quantity of Type 1 rice (Q₁) = 8 kg

Quantity of Type 2 rice (Q₂) = 4 kg

Price of Mixture (P_m) = Rs. 70/kg

Let the price of Type 2 rice be Rs. x/kg.

Formula Used:

Using the Rule of Alligation:

Q₁ / Q₂ = (P₂ − P_m) / (P_m − P₁)

60 Type 1 (8 kg)

x Type 2 (4 kg)

70 Mixture

x - 70

10

8 kg : 4 kg

Calculations:

⇒ 8 / 4 = (x − 70) / (70 − 60)

⇒ 2 = (x − 70) / 10

⇒ x − 70 = 2 × 10

⇒ x − 70 = 20

⇒ x = 70 + 20

⇒ x = 90

∴ The correct answer is Rs. 90.

Used to find the ratio in which two ingredients at given prices must be mixed to produce a mixture of a desired price: (Quantity of Cheaper) / (Quantity of Dearer) = (Price of Dearer − Mean Price) / (Mean Price − Price of Cheaper).

Weighted Average

Instead of simple average, when quantities are different, average price is calculated as: A_w = (w₁x₁ + w₂x₂) ÷ (w₁ + w₂), where w represents the respective quantities.

Mixture of Multiple Items

If three or more ingredients are mixed, the Rule of Alligation can be applied sequentially to pairs of ingredients, ensuring the mean price lies between the prices of the selected pair.

Net percentage change formula = x + y + (xy/100)

Here, length reduction (x) = −15% and breadth increment (y) = +10%

Net change = −15 + 10 + [(−15 × 10) / 100]

Net change = −5 − 1.5 = −6.5%

Negative sign indicates a decrement.

∴ The correct answer is 6.5% decrement.

Alternate Method

Given:

Reduction in length = 15%

Increase in breadth = 10%

Formula:

Area of Rectangle = Length × Breadth

Calculations:

⇒ Let original Length (L) = 100 and original Breadth (B) = 100

⇒ Original Area = 100 × 100 = 10000

⇒ New Length = 100 − 15% of 100 = 85

⇒ New Breadth = 100 + 10% of 100 = 110

⇒ New Area = 85 × 110 = 9350

⇒ Change in Area = 10000 − 9350 = 650

⇒ Percentage Change = (650 / 10000) × 100 = 6.5%

⇒ Since New Area < Original Area, it is a decrement.

∴ The correct answer is 6.5% decrement.

Additional Information

Successive Percentage Change

When a value is changed by a% and then by b%, the net change is given by [a + b + (ab/100)]%.

Area and Perimeter Relations

If the side of a square is increased by x%, the area increases by [2x + (x²/100)]%.

Base Value Concept

Percentage changes are always calculated on the initial/base value unless specified otherwise.

Given data:

Three schemes: A. Two successive discounts of 20% and 24%, B. Buy 5 get 3 free, C. Buy 13 get 7 free

Concept or formula:

Effective discount for A = 100 - [(100 - first discount) × (100 - second discount) ÷ 100]

Discount for B and C = (number of free items ÷ total items) × 100

Calculation:

Calculate the effective discount for scheme A

⇒ Effective discount = 100 - [(100 - 20) × (100 - 24) ÷ 100] = 39.2%

Calculate the discount for schemes B and C

⇒ Discount B = (3 ÷ (5+3)) × 100 = 37.5%

⇒ Discount C = (7 ÷ (13+7)) × 100 = 35%

Comparing the discounts, scheme A offers the maximum discount

Therefore, scheme A gives the maximum discount to the buyer.

Given data:

Distance between home and school = 20 km

Return speed = 50 km/h

Average speed for the total journey = 37.5 km/h

Concept or formula:

Average speed = Total distance ÷ total time;

Total distance = 2 × single distance;

Total time = time1 + time2

Calculation:

Total distance = 2 × 20 km = 40 km

Total time = 40 km/37.5 km/h = 400/375 = 1.067 hours

Time for return journey = 20 km/50 km/h = 0.4 hours

Time for onward journey = total time - return time = 1.067 - 0.4 = 0.667 hours

Speed from home to school = 20 km/0.667 hours = 30 km/h

Therefore, the speed of Rani from home to school is 30 km/h.

Given data:

Amount after 2 years = Rs. 5,324

Rate of interest = 10% per annum, compounded annually

Concept or formula:

Compound interest formula,

A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt),

where A = amount, P = principal, r = rate of

interest, n = number of times interest is compounded per time period and t = time.

Calculation:

Rearranging the formula for P

⇒ P = A / (1 + r/n)^(nt)

Substitute the given values into the formula

⇒ P = 5324 / (1 + 10/100)^(2) = 5324 / (1.1)² = Rs. 4,400

Therefore, the principal is Rs. 4,400.

Given data:

Time to cover a distance of 162 km = 3 hours

Concept or formula:

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

Calculation:

Calculate the speed

⇒ Speed = 162 km ÷ 3 hours = 54 km/h

Calculate the distance covered in 5 hours

⇒ Distance = Speed × Time = 54 km/h × 5 hours = 270 km

Hence, the bike will cover a distance of 270 km in 5 hours.

Shortcut Trick

Profit % = [Error ÷ (True Weight − Error)] × 100

Here, Error = 250 gm − 200 gm = 50 gm

Profit % = (50 ÷ 200) × 100

Profit % = 1/4 × 100 = 25%

∴ The correct answer is 25%.

Alternate Method

Given:

True Weight (Promised) = 250 gm

False Weight (Actual) = 200 gm

Formula Used:

Profit % = [ (True Weight − False Weight) ÷ False Weight ] × 100

Calculations:

⇒ Profit = 250 gm − 200 gm = 50 gm

⇒ Profit % = (50 ÷ 200) × 100

⇒ Profit % = (1 ÷ 4) × 100

⇒ Profit % = 25%

The dishonest merchant gains 25% by using a false weight.

∴ The correct answer is 25%.

Additional Information

Dishonest Dealer Concept

When a dealer sells goods at cost price but uses less weight, the profit is calculated on the actual weight delivered to the customer.

Combined Profit (Cheating at both ends)

If a dealer cheats by x% while buying and y% while selling, the total profit % = [ (100 + x)(100 + y) ÷ 100 ] − 100.

Weight and Price Relationship

Price is inversely proportional to weight for a fixed cost. Ratio of Weights = 250:200 = 5:4, then Ratio of Profit (Price) = 4:5, giving a 1/4 = 25% gain.

Given data:

Distance covered upstream and downstream = 375 meters

Time taken to travel upstream = 30 min

Time taken to travel downstream = 18 min

Concept or formula:

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

Calculation:

Calculate the speeds

⇒ Speed upstream = 375 meters ÷ 30 min = 12.5 m/min

⇒ Speed downstream = 375 meters ÷ 18 min = 20.83 m/min

Speed of the boat in still water = (Speed downstream + Speed upstream) ÷ 2 = (20.83 m/min + 12.5 m/min) ÷ 2 = 16.67 m/min

Speed of the current = Speed downstream - Speed of the boat in still water = 20.83 m/min - 16.67 m/min = 4.16 m/min

Ratio of the speed of the boat to the speed of the stream = 16.67 ÷ 4.16 ≈ 4:1

Therefore, the ratio of the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the stream is approximately 4:1.

Given:

The ratio a : b = 2 : 7.

343 is the third proportional to a and b.

Concept/Formula used:

In a ratio, if a : b = c : d, then the value of b can be expressed as b = a × (d/c).

Similarly, the third proportion of a and b (let's call it 'x') can be found by the formula x = b × (b/a).

Solution:

Given a : b = 2 : 7,

let's assume a = 2k and b = 7k for some constant 'k'.

As per the concept of third proportion,

343 = b × (b/a)

⇒ 343 = (7k × 7k) / (2k).

Solving 343 = (7k × 7k) / (2k) actually gives k = 14.

Substituting k = 14 into a = 2k and b = 7k gives a = 28 and b = 98.

The value of b - a = 98 - 28 = 70.

Therefore, the value of b - a is 70.

Concept Used:

Follow the BODMAS rule according to the table given below:

Calculation:

65 ÷ 13 × 4 + (35 ÷ 7 × 9)2 + 100 ÷ 5 of 4 × 80

⇒ 5 × 4 + (5 × 9)² + 100 ÷ 20 × 80

⇒ 20 + (45)² + 5 × 80

⇒ 20 + 2025 + 400

⇒ 2445

∴ Option (2) is the correct answer.

The correct answer is 'Option 2'

 Key Points

In the original sentence, the phrase "we have to sending a mail today" is incorrect because the structure "have to" should be followed by a base form of a verb (infinitive without to), and the verb "sending" is in the incorrect form.

The correction should therefore be "If we send a mail today." Here, "send" is the correct base form of the verb.

This sentence implies that if the action (sending a mail) is performed today, the response will be received within two days.

Therefore, the correct use of modal verb (have to, for obligation) and the correct form of the main verb (send) should be "If we send a mail today, we shall get a reply in two days."

Therefore, the correct answer is- Option 2

Additional Information

Option 1 "If we would send a mail today" is incorrect because 'would' is a modal verb of hypothetical situations used in conditionals that does not suit the context here.

Option 3 "If we will send a mail today" incorrectly uses "will" instead of the base form of the main verb after "if" in a conditional sentence.

Option 4 "If we have sending a mail today" doesn't correct the original mistake of verb form misuse.

The error in the original sentence is that the verb form after 'to' is incorrect. The correct form after 'to' is the base form of the verb

The correct answer is 'Option 3'

Key PointsThe original sentence is in the present continuous tense, and the task is to change it to a past tense form.

Option 3: "The home nurse was expecting a salary hike from the relatives of the new family" correctly changes the sentence to the past continuous tense, which is appropriate here because it shows the nurse's expectation was ongoing in the past.

Therefore, the form 'was expecting' is correct as it puts the event, which is an ongoing event in the past.

Therefore, the correct answer is - Option 3

Additional InformationOption 1: "The home nurse will be expecting a salary hike from the relatives of the new family." This changes the tense to future continuous, which is not what the question is asking for.

Option 2: "The home nurse expects a salary hike from the relatives of the new family." This is the present tense, not the past.

Option 4: "The home nurse has been expecting a salary hike from the relatives of the new family." This is the present perfect continuous tense, not the past.

The correct answer is "had taken the pony". 

Key Points

• The sentence, "The thief who (have taken the pony) was found guilty by the jury", is narrating a sequence past event.
• Firstly, the thief took the pony, and then at some point later, he was found guilty by the jury.
• When expressing events in the past that happened one after the other, we use the past perfect tense for the earlier event.
• Therefore, to express this correctly, "had taken the pony" should be used, which is the past perfect tense.
• The corrected sentence now reads: "The thief who had taken the pony was found guilty by the jury."

Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Key PointsThe word provided here is 'Extrime'. But there is no such word in English.

In English, 'Extreme' (चरम in Hindi) is the correct spelling. An example of 'Extreme' in a sentence could be: The weather conditions are extreme today.

Therefore, the correct answer is- 'Option 1'.

Additional Information

'Eccentricity': It is spelt correctly and in Hindi, it is translated as विचित्रता.

'Electricity': This is also a correctly spelt word which translates as बिजली in Hindi.

'Excite': This word too is spelt correctly and means उत्तेजना in Hindi.

The correct answer is 'Option 3'

 Key Points

The idiom 'To be in the doldrums' generally refers to being in a state of low spirits or depression.

The English meaning of this phrase would be to be in a state of low spirits or to feel down.

In Hindi, this phrase can be translated to नीरस और उदास होना.

An example of this phrase in a sentence might be: After failing his exams, he was in the doldrums for several weeks.

Therefore, the correct answer is- 'Option 3'

 Additional Information

Option 1 can be dismissed as the phrase does not indicate a sense of 'high energy and happiness' but rather the opposite.

Option 2 and 4 might seem plausible, but the specific context of 'doldrums' refers primarily to a state of low spirits rather than confusion or helplessness.

The correct answer is 'Option 3'

 Key Points

The idiomatic phrase "born and bred" fits perfectly in this context. It’s a fixed phrase that refers to a person's upbringing or background.

The phrase "I am born and bred in a cultured family" means that the speaker was both born into a certain family or place, and also brought up there.

Therefore, the appropriate word to complete the sentence is "bred", forming the idiomatic expression "born and bred."

Therefore, the correct answer is- Option 3

 Additional Information

Option 1: "bare" means naked or uncovered, which is not suitable in this context.

Option 2: "bread" is a type of food made from flour and water, and is not the correct match in this context.

Option 4: "beard" refers to the hair that grows on the chin and cheeks of a man's face, and is incorrect in this context.

The correct answer is 'Option 3'.

 Key Points

The word provided is 'Cease' which means to stop or bring something to an end.

The English meaning of 'Cease' is to stop or end (हिंदी में - बंद करना). An example of 'Cease' in a sentence could be: The hostilities had ceased and normal life was resumed.

The word that is opposite in meaning to 'Cease' is 'Commence', meaning to begin or start.

The Hindi meaning of 'Commence' is 'शुरू करना'. An example of 'Commence' in a sentence could be: The festivities will commence with a parade.

Therefore, the correct answer is- 'Option 3'.

 Additional Information

'Terminate': Also means to end or cease, hence it is a synonym rather than an antonym of 'Cease'.

'Stop': Similar to terminate, it is a synonym of 'Cease'.

'Quit': This is generally used in the context of leaving a job or habit, but it aligns more as a synonym rather than an antonym of 'Cease'.

The correct answer is 'Option 2'

 Key Points

The original phrase "there is a few rice left in the cooker" is incorrect because "rice" is an uncountable noun, and "a few" is used with countable nouns.

Using "little" with uncountable nouns to indicate a small amount is grammatically correct. So, the phrase should be "There is little rice left in the cooker."

Therefore, the phrase "a few" in the original sentence should be substituted with "little" to correctly convey the intended meaning of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is- Option 2

 Additional Information

Option 1: "fewest rice left in" is incorrect, as "fewest" is used for countable nouns and "rice" is uncountable.

Option 3: "less rice left on" is incorrect, as it changes the structure of the sentence in a way that doesn't retain the exact original meaning.

Option 4: "any rice left in" would indicate uncertainty about any rice being left, which is not the intent of the original sentence.

The correct answer is 'Option 1'

 Key Points

The idiom 'The best thing since sliced bread' is often used to refer to a good and useful invention or idea.

The English meaning of this phrase would be a really good invention or idea.

In Hindi, this phrase can be translated to एक सच्ची अच्छी आविष्कार (a really good invention).

An example of this phrase in a sentence might be: The invention of smartphones has been considered the best thing since sliced bread.

Therefore, the correct answer is- 'Option 1'

Additional Information

'A thoroughly examined food','An openly performed confession', and 'A sincerely made apology' do not match the given idiom's meaning, making them incorrect options.

The correct answer is 'Option 2'

 Key Points

The sentence implies that the boat developed by the students can reach any given destination without human control or direction.

The term "autonomously", which means something is self-directing or independent, best fits this context.

Therefore, "autonomously" is applicable for the features of the boat that can navigate to a location without human intervention.

Therefore, the correct answer is- Option 2

 Additional Information

Option 1: "highly" would more typically modify an adjective or another adverb, not a destination.

Option 3: "verbally" would imply that the boat reaches its destination by speaking, which doesn't make sense in this context.

Option 4: "collaboratively" would imply some form of teamwork or cooperation is needed for the boat to reach its destination, which contrasts with the idea of it operating independently.

The correct answer is 'Option 2'

 Key Points

The English word given in brackets here is 'Negative' which typically suggests something harmful or undesirable.

The English meaning of 'Negative' is harmful or bad (In Hindi - नकरात्मक).

An example of 'Negative' in a sentence could be: Drug abuse has a negative effect on the community.

The Hindi meaning of 'Obtained' is 'प्राप्त हुई'. An example of 'Obtained' in a sentence could be: She obtained the highest marks in her exams.

Therefore, the correct answer is- 'Option 1'

 Additional Information

'Forfeited': It means to lose or give up something, does not fit this context.

'Admired': Means to regard with respect or warm approval, not applicable here.

'Awarded': Means to give something as a result of a decision, not related to the word 'acquired'.

The correct answer is 'Option 3'

 Key Points

The word provided in brackets here is 'Feeble' which means lacking physical strength, especially as a result of age or illness.

The English meaning of 'Feeble' is weak or frail (In Hindi - कमजोर).

An example of 'Feeble' in a sentence could be: After her illness, she was too feeble to work.

'Effete': This word generally refers to being weak or exhausted, making it a synonym of 'Feeble'.

The correct answer is 'Option 4'

Key Points

In the sentence provided, the word 'citezen' is misspelt.

In English, 'Citizen' (नागरिक in Hindi) is the correct spelling. An example of 'Citizen' in a sentence could be: Every citizen has the right to vote.

Therefore, the correct answer is- 'Option 4'

 Additional Information

'Allouse', 'Chosing', and 'Goverment': These options do not appear in the given sentence and are incorrect spellings for 'Allow', 'Choosing', and 'Government' respectively.

The correct answer is 'Option 4'

 Key Points

The word provided here is 'Contagion' which generally refers to the transmission of a disease from one person or organism to another by direct or indirect contact.

The English meaning of 'Contagion' is the spread of a harmful idea or practice (In Hindi - संक्रामण).

An example of 'Contagion' in a sentence could be: The contagion of the flu virus caused the pandemic.

The Hindi meaning of 'Transmission' is 'संचारण'. An example of 'Transmission' in a sentence could be: The transmission of cultural values to younger generation is important.

Therefore, the correct answer is- 'Option 4’

 Additional Information

'Grandeur': Signifying splendor and impressiveness, does not fit this context.

'Illusion': Relationships to a misrepresentation or false perception, not applicable here.

'Transfusion': Generally associated with the transfer of blood, it doesn’t quite capture the meaning of 'Contagion'

The correct answer is 'Option 4'

Key PointsIn the first blank, the context of the sentence involves a low-pressure area characterized by rapid and damaging air circulation. This suggests some sort of production or creation, hence the word "generates" fits perfectly.

The verb "generates" traditionally refers to the act of causing or producing something. In this context, it implies that such low-pressure areas create or result in cyclones.

Therefore, it correctly conveys that this type of low-pressure area and air circulation generates or produces cyclones.

Therefore, the correct answer is - Option 4

 Additional Information

Option 1: "inspires" generally implies stimulating someone to do or feel something, generally in a creative or emotional sense. The formation of cyclones, however, is a physical phenomenon and not tied to emotional or creative inspiration.

Option 2: "spawns" can mean 'generate or cause' similar to 'generates', but it's less commonly used in the context of natural phenomena like cyclones.

Option 3: "destroys" contradicts the context of the sentence. The low-pressure area doesn't diminish or remove cyclones, but rather leads to their formation.

Correct answer: 'Option 1' i.e. 'unfavourable'.

 Key Points

The context of the sentence refers to the conditions during a cyclone, which are typically harsh, dangerous, and adverse. Hence, the term 'unfavourable' correctly describes the commonly associated conditions during cyclones.

The adjective 'unfavourable' can be used to describe something that's not helpful, or that creates difficulties or prevents success, which fits appropriately in the context of a cyclone, a natural phenomenon known for its destructive and disruptive nature.

The sentence structure requires an adjective at the blank 2. Among the given options, 'unfavourable' is an adjective that fits appropriately into the context of the sentence.

'Unfavourable' properly maintains the coherence and overall meaning of the sentence whereas the other options disrupt it.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 1' i.e. 'unfavourable'.

 Additional Information

Accustomed: This term means to become familiar with something or get used to something, through exposure or experience. It is not suitable here because it doesn't accurately describe the characteristics of the weather during cyclones.

Advantageous: It is generally used to describe something that is beneficial or creates favorable conditions, which is contrary to the negative and destructive conditions typically observed during cyclones, making it inappropriate for this context.

Unaccepted: This term is used to indicate something that is not agreed upon or not approved, which doesn't make sense in the context of describing weather conditions during a cyclone.

Correct answer: 'Option 1' i.e. 'whereas'.

 Key Points

The term 'whereas' is used to indicate a contrast or comparison between two statements. In this context, it is used to contrast the air movement in the Northern hemisphere (counterclockwise) with the Southern hemisphere (clockwise).

The use of 'whereas' maintains the coherence and flow of the sentence by effectively bringing out the clear difference between the two hemispheric cyclonic patterns.

The conjunction 'whereas' works grammatically in the sentence structure by connecting two independent but related sentences.

'Whereas' is used to compare two different things or situations, reinforcing the understanding of the difference in cyclone patterns in the previous and the next sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 1' i.e. 'whereas'.

 Additional Information

Because: This term introduces a reason or explanation for an occurrence. It doesn't fit in this context as we're contrasting two occurrences, not explaining them.

Or: This conjunction is used to link alternative possibilities. However, in this context, we're not presenting options, but contrasting air movements in different hemispheres.

Unless: The term 'unless' is used to specify the only situation in which something will not happen or be true. It's inappropriate here because we're not stating a condition under which something would not occur, but contrasting two statements.

Correct answer: 'Option 3' i.e. 'categories'.

 Key Points

The term 'categories' is used when things or ideas are divided or grouped based on similar features or characteristics. In this context, it is used to group the different types of cyclones - extratropical and tropical

The use of 'categories' correctly communicates that the two types of cyclones mentioned (extratropical and tropical) are classifications within the broader term "cyclones".

The term 'categories' perfectly fits into the sentence structure and it maintains the logical coherence of the sentence by indicating the correct grouping.

Using 'categories' supports the understanding of the topic being discussed, making it the most suitable option among others.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 3' i.e. 'categories'.

 Additional Information

Ranks: This term relates to hierarchy or position in a series. It doesn't fit in this context as we're not discussing some form of hierarchy of cyclones, but rather types or classifications of cyclones.

Statuses: The term 'statuses' refers to the relative position or standing of something within a system or society. It does not correctly describe the divisions of cyclones.

Species: This term is used in biology to classify organisms and doesn't fit appropriately in the context of classifying weather phenomena like cyclones.

Correct answer: 'Option 4' i.e. 'resemble'.

 Key Points

The verb 'resemble' is used to describe one thing being similar to or having likeness with another. In this context, it is used to show the likeness of tropical storms in the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal to coiled sea serpents.

The use of 'resemble' correctly maintains the flow and the integrity of the sentence, expressing the comparison of the cyclonic storms to coiled sea serpents in terms of visual appearance.

'Resemble' fits grammatically into the sentence structure, maintaining the overall coherence and meaning.

'Resemble' provides the most understandable and logical completion of the sentence, reinforcing the metaphorical comparison drawn in its context.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 4' i.e. 'resemble'.

 Additional Information

Collect: This verb refers to the action of bringing together and accumulating items. It doesn't make contextual sense in reference to tropical storms and coiled sea serpents.

Negate: The term 'negate' means to nullify or make ineffective. It doesn't fit here, as the context is not about cancelling or nullifying something.

Mimic: The term 'mimic' means to copy the behavior or action of something. But in our context, storms don't actively copy the coiled sea serpents; they rather appear similar. Hence, 'resemble' fits better than 'mimic'.
