Shortcut Trick

Ratio of Final Value to Initial Value = 72900 ÷ 133100 = 729 ÷ 1331

For a period of 3 years, take the cube root of the ratio: ³√(729) ÷ ³√(1331) = 9 ÷ 11

This means the value of the laptop drops from 11 parts to 9 parts in one year.

Yearly Depreciation % = [(11 − 9) ÷ 11] × 100 = (2 ÷ 11) × 100

Depreciation % = 18.18%

∴ The correct answer is 18.18%.

Alternate Method

Given:

Initial Value (P) = Rs. 1,33,100

Final Value (A) = Rs. 72,900

Time (n) = 3 years

Formula Used:

A = P × (1 − R/100)ⁿ

Calculations:

⇒ 72900 = 133100 × (1 − R/100)³

⇒ 72900 ÷ 133100 = (1 − R/100)³

⇒ 729 ÷ 1331 = (1 − R/100)³

⇒ (9 ÷ 11)³ = (1 − R/100)³

⇒ 9 ÷ 11 = 1 − R/100

⇒ R/100 = 1 − (9 ÷ 11)

⇒ R/100 = 2 ÷ 11

⇒ R = 200 ÷ 11

⇒ R = 18.1818... ≈ 18.18%

∴ The correct answer is 18.18%.

Additional Information

Depreciation Formula

Depreciation represents a consistent percentage decrease over time and follows the compound interest formula with a negative rate: A = P(1 − R/100)ⁿ.

Appreciation Formula

When an asset's value increases annually (like population growth), use the standard compound interest formula: A = P(1 + R/100)ⁿ.

Effective Rate of Successive Depreciation

For two consecutive years with the same depreciation rate R, the net effective depreciation percentage is given by: 2R − R²/100.

Given data:

Initial  624 litres

Initial ratio of milk to water: 5 ∶ 3

Desired ratio of milk to water: 5 ∶ 4

Concept:

To keep the amount of milk constant, calculate the amount of water that needs to be added to achieve the desired ratio.

Calculation:

⇒ Volume of milk = 5 / (5 + 3) x 624 litres = 390 litres

⇒ Volume of water in new mixture = 4 / 5 x 390 litres = 312 litres

⇒ Volume of water to be added = (3 / (5 + 3) x 624 litres)  - 312 = 78 litres

Therefore, 78 litres of water needs to be added to achieve the desired ratio.

Given data:

Selling price of each pen: Rs. 12

Gain on first pen: 20%

Loss on second pen: 20%

Concept:

Cost Price = 100 × SP/(100 ± Profit%/Loss%)

Loss = CP - SP

Calculation:

SP of each pen = Rs. 12

Gain on first pen: 20%

⇒ CP₁ = 100 × 12/(100 + 20)

⇒ CP1 = Rs. 10

Loss on second pen: 20%

⇒ CP2 = 100 × 12/(100 - 20)

⇒ CP2 = Rs. 15

⇒ Total CP = 10 + 15 = Rs. 25

⇒ Total SP = 12 + 12 = Rs.24

Loss = CP - SP 

⇒ 25 - 24 = Rs. 1

Therefore, On the whole, he lost Rs. 1.

Shortcut Trick

Relative speed (opposite direction) = 54 + 90 = 144 km/h.

Speed in m/s = 144 × (5 ÷ 18) = 40 m/s.

Total distance covered in 12 sec = 40 × 12 = 480 m.

Since both trains have the same length, length of one train = 480 ÷ 2 = 240 m.

∴ The correct answer is 240 m.

Alternate Method

Given:

Speed of first train (S₁) = 54 km/h

Speed of second train (S₂) = 90 km/h

Time taken to cross each other = 12 sec

Let the length of each train be 'L' metres.

Formula Used:

Distance = Speed × Time

In opposite directions, Relative Speed = S₁ + S₂

Calculations:

⇒ Relative Speed = 54 + 90 = 144 km/h

⇒ Convert km/h to m/s: 144 × (5 ÷ 18) = 40 m/s

⇒ Total Distance = Length of Train 1 + Length of Train 2 = L + L = 2L

⇒ 2L = 40 × 12

⇒ 2L = 480

⇒ L = 240

∴ The correct answer is 240 m.

Additional Information

Relative Speed

When two bodies move in opposite directions, relative speed = S₁ + S₂. When moving in the same direction, relative speed = |S₁ − S₂|.

Train Crossing Objects

The distance covered when crossing a stationary point (pole or man) is the length of the train itself. When crossing a platform or another train, the total distance is the sum of both lengths.

Speed Conversions

To convert km/h to m/s, multiply the speed by (5 ÷ 18). To convert m/s to km/h, multiply by (18 ÷ 5).

Given data:

Time taken by Anjali to finish work is 4 times the time taken by Ron and 3 times the time taken by John.

Time taken by all three working together = 4 days

Concept:

The reciprocal of the time taken by each person equals the work done by them per day. The sum of their work per day equals the reciprocal of the time taken by them working together.

Calculation:

⇒ Let time taken by Ron be x days.

⇒ Therefore, time taken by Anjali = 4x days, time taken by John = 4/3x days

⇒ Work done by Ron per day = 1/x, by Anjali = 1/4x, by John = 3/4x

⇒ Total work done per day = 1/x + 1/4x + 3/4x = 1/4

⇒ (4 + 1 + 3)/4x = 1/4

⇒ 8/4x = 1/4

⇒ Solving for x gives x = 8

Therefore, Ron takes 8 days to finish the work alone.

Alternate Method 

Time ∝ 1/Efficiecny

days →   Anjali : Ron

                   4    :   1

So

Efficiency →   Anjali : Ron

                          1     :  4

same as,

days →   Anjali : John

                   3    :   1

So

Efficiency →   Anjali : John

                          1     :  3

So

Efficiency →   Anjali : Ron : John

                          1    :   4    :   3

So

Total work = Total days * Total efficiency 

Total work = 4 * (1 + 4 + 3) = 32 units

days required to Ron to complete the work = 32/4 = 8 days

Cost = 616 × (9/2) = 308 × 9 = ₹2772

∴ The correct answer is ₹2772.

Alternate Method

Given:

Radius of the sphere (r) = 7 cm

Rate of painting = ₹4.5 per cm²

π = 22/7

Total Surface Area of Sphere = 4 × π × r²

Total Cost = Surface Area × Rate per unit area

Calculations:

⇒ Surface Area = 4 × (22/7) × 7 × 7

⇒ Surface Area = 4 × 22 × 7

⇒ Surface Area = 88 × 7 = 616 cm²

⇒ Total Cost = 616 × 4.5

⇒ Total Cost = 616 × (45/10)

⇒ Total Cost = 616 × (9/2)

⇒ Total Cost = 308 × 9

⇒ Total Cost = ₹2772

∴ The correct answer is ₹2772.

Additional Information

Shortcut Trick

Profit ratio is calculated as Investment × Time Period.

Mohan : Sohan = (3000 × 12) : (4000 × 6) = 36000 : 24000 = 3 : 2.

Total ratio parts = 3 + 2 = 5 units.

Given 5 units = Rs. 540 ⇒ 1 unit = 540 ÷ 5 = Rs. 108.

Mohan's profit = 3 units = 3 × 108 = Rs. 324.

∴ The correct answer is Rs. 324.

Alternate Method

Given → Mohan's Investment = Rs. 3,000, Time = 12 months. Sohan's Investment = Rs. 4,000, Time = 6 months. Total Profit = Rs. 540. Formulas: Profit Ratio = (I₁ × T₁) : (I₂ × T₂) | Individual Profit = (Ratio Share ÷ Total Ratio) × Total Profit.

⇒ Mohan's total investment-month = 3000 × 12 = 36000. ⇒ Sohan's total investment-month = 4000 × 6 = 24000. ⇒ Ratio of Profit = 36000 : 24000 = 3 : 2. ⇒ Mohan's share = (3 ÷ 5) × 540. ⇒ Mohan's share = 3 × 108 = 324.

∴ The correct answer is Rs. 324.

Partnership Basics

In a partnership, profit is always distributed in the ratio of the product of Capital and Time. If time is constant, profit ratio equals investment ratio.

Active vs Sleeping Partner

An Active Partner manages the business and may receive a salary/commission before the remaining profit is divided based on investment ratios.

Given data:

Initial ratio of seats for Engineering, Management and Science: 7 : 8 : 9

Proposed increase in seats: 20%, 30%, 60% respectively

Concept: To find the new ratio, increase each term in the ratio by its respective percentage and simplify if possible.

Calculation:

⇒ New ratio = 7 × (1+20/100) : 8 × (1+30/100) : 9 × (1+60/100)

⇒ 8.4 : 10.4 : 14.4

⇒ 21 : 26 : 36

Therefore, the ratio of the increased seats is 21 : 26 : 36.

Given data:

Speed of first train: 110 km/h

Speed of second train: 90 km/h

Time taken to cross each other: 54 seconds

Length of first train: 130 meters

Concept: The length of the second train equals the relative speed multiplied by the time taken to cross each other, minus the length of the first train.

Calculation:

⇒ Convert speeds from km/h to m/s (multiply by 5/18): 30.56 m/s and 25 m/s

⇒ Relative speed = 30.56 - 25 = 5.56 m/s

⇒ Length of second train = 5.56 m/s x 54 seconds - 130 metres = 170 metres

Therefore, the length of the second train is 170 metres.

Shortcut Trick

Distance in one revolution = 2 × π × r = 2 × (22/7) × 140 = 880 m.

Average Speed = Total Distance ÷ Total Time.

Average Speed = 880 ÷ 2 = 440 m/min.

∴ The correct answer is 440 m/min.

Alternate Method

Given:

Radius (r) of the circular track = 140 m

Time (t) taken for one revolution = 2 min

Formula Used:

1. Circumference of a circle = 2 × π × r
2. Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time

Calculations:

⇒ Total Distance (Circumference) = 2 × (22/7) × 140

⇒ Total Distance = 2 × 22 × 20

⇒ Total Distance = 880 m

⇒ Average Speed = 880 ÷ 2

⇒ Average Speed = 440 m/min

∴ The correct answer is 440 m/min.

Additional Information

Average Speed in Circular Motion

For a body moving in a circle, the distance covered in 1 revolution is equal to its circumference (2πr). If it completes 'n' revolutions, total distance is n × 2πr.

Angular Speed (ω)

Angular speed is the rate of change of the central angle, given by ω = 2π ÷ T, where T is the time period for one revolution.

Linear Velocity vs Angular Velocity

The relationship between linear speed (v) and angular speed (ω) is v = r × ω, where r is the radius of the circular path.

Given data:

Two numbers: 0.75 and 3

Concept: The mean proportional (geometric mean) of two numbers a and b is √(ab).

⇒ Mean proportional = √(0.75 ×  3) = 1.5

Therefore, the mean proportional of 0.75 and 3 is 1.5.

Shortcut Trick

Savings due to price reduction = 10% of ₹250 = ₹25.

This saved amount allows the purchase of the extra 22 kg at the new reduced price.

New price per kg = ₹25 ÷ 22.

Original price per kg = New price ÷ 90% = (25 ÷ 22) × (100 ÷ 90) = 250 ÷ 198.

Original price ≈ ₹1.26.

∴ The correct answer is ₹1.26.

Alternate Method

Given:

Total amount = ₹250

Reduction in price = 10%

Increase in quantity = 22 kg

Concept Used:

When the total expenditure remains constant, Price and Consumption (Quantity) are inversely proportional.

Calculations:

⇒ Price Ratio (Original : New) = 100 : 90 = 10 : 9

⇒ Consumption Ratio (Original : New) = 9 : 10

⇒ Increase in consumption ratio = 10 − 9 = 1 unit

⇒ 1 unit = 22 kg

⇒ Original Consumption = 9 units = 9 × 22 = 198 kg

⇒ Original Price = Total Amount ÷ Original Consumption

⇒ Original Price = 250 ÷ 198 = 1.2626... ≈ ₹1.26

∴ The correct answer is ₹1.26.

Additional Information

Price and Consumption Relation

When total expenditure remains constant, price and consumption are inversely proportional (Price × Consumption = Constant). If price ratio is a : b, consumption ratio becomes b : a.

Base Change Method

If the price of a commodity decreases by x%, the consumption can be increased by (x ÷ (100 − x)) × 100% without increasing the total expenditure.

Successive Percentage Change

The net percentage change formula is a + b + (a × b ÷ 100). This applies when multiple percentage changes occur on a base value successively.

Given data:

HCF: 32

LCM: 192

One of the numbers: 64

Concept: For two numbers, the product of the numbers is equal to the product of their HCF and LCM. The absolute difference is the absolute value of the difference between the

two numbers.

Calculation:

⇒ Other number = (HCF ×  LCM)/given number = (32 ×  192)/64 = 96

⇒ Absolute difference = |96 - 64| = 32

Therefore, the absolute difference between the numbers is 32.

Given

6 + [(16 - 4) ÷ (2² + 2)] - 2

Concept used:

Follow the BODMAS rule according to the table given below:

Calculation:

⇒ Simplified expression = 6 + [12 ÷ (4 + 2)] - 2

⇒ 6 + [12 ÷ 6] - 2

⇒ 6 + 2 - 2 = 6

Therefore, the simplified expression is 6

Given data:

Ratio of expenses on rice, petrol and oil: 8 : 11 : 6

Increase in prices: 10%, 20%, 30% respectively

Concept:

Concept used: Ratio and percentage

Calculation:

According to the question,

Total initial ratio = (8 + 11 + 6) = 25.

Then,

8 × 110/100 = 8.80, 11 × 120/100 = 13.20, and 6 × 130/100 = 7.80

Total final ratio = (8.80 + 13.20 + 7.80) = 29.8

Percentage increase in expenses = ((29.8 - 25) / 25) ×  100 = 19.2%

∴ The total expenses of the family on these items are increased by 19.2%.

Shortcut Trick

Work done by 100 additional men in the last 5 days = 100 × 5 = 500 man-days.

If no extra men were employed, this remaining work would be done by the initial 100 men.

Extra time needed = 500 ÷ 100 = 5 days.

Thus, the project would be delayed by 5 days.

∴ The correct answer is 5 days.

Alternate Method

Given:

Total stipulated time = 40 days

Initial workforce (M₁) = 100 men

Time they worked alone (D₁) = 35 days

New workforce after 35 days (M₂) = 100 + 100 = 200 men

Time they worked together (D₂) = 40 − 35 = 5 days

Formula Used:

Total Work = (M₁ × D₁) + (M₂ × D₂)

Calculations:

⇒ Total work required for the building = (100 × 35) + (200 × 5)

⇒ Total work = 3500 + 1000 = 4500 man-days

⇒ If additional men were not employed, the original 100 men would have to complete all 4500 man-days.

⇒ Time required by 100 men = 4500 ÷ 100 = 45 days

⇒ Original scheduled time = 40 days

⇒ Days behind schedule = 45 − 40 = 5 days

∴ The correct answer is 5 days.

Additional Information

MDH Chain Rule

If M₁ men can do W₁ work in D₁ days working H₁ hours per day, and M₂ men can do W₂ work in D₂ days working H₂ hours per day, then (M₁ × D₁ × H₁) ÷ W₁ = (M₂ × D₂ × H₂) ÷ W₂.

Work & Wages

Wages are distributed in proportion to the work done by individuals. If they work for the same number of days, wages are distributed in the ratio of their efficiencies.

Given data:

Principal amount: ₹12,000

Amount after certain period: ₹15,972

Rate of interest: 10% per annum

Concept: The formula for compound interest is A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where:

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

P = the principal amount (the initial amount of money)

r = annual interest rate (decimal)

n = number of times that interest is compounded per year

t = time the money is invested for in years

Calculation:

We need to find 't' (time)

⇒ 15972 = 12000(1 + 10/100)^t

⇒ 15972/12000 = (1.1)^t

⇒ 1331/1000 = (11/10)t

⇒ (11/10)³ = (11/10)t

⇒ t = 3 years

Therefore, the period of time is 3 years.

Given data:

Marked price: Rs. 10,550

Discount: 18%

Concept: The selling price is the marked price minus the discount.

Calculation:

Selling price = Marked price - Discount

⇒ Rs. 10,550 - 0.18 ×  Rs. 10,550 = Rs. 8,651

Therefore, the selling price of the hair dryer is Rs. 8,651.

Given data:

Marked price = ₹10,000

Discount = 10% discount

Further discounted price: ₹8500

Concept:

The cash discount is the additional discount given after the initial discount, expressed as a percentage of the discounted price.

Calculation:

Selling Price after 10% discount = 10000 × 90/100 = Rs. 9000

⇒ Cash discount = ₹9,000 - ₹8,500 = ₹500

⇒ Cash discount in percentage = (₹500 / ₹9,000) ×  100 = 5.56%

Therefore, the cash discount is 5.56%.

Given :

Radius of base = 14 cm

Height of cone = 24 cm

Formula used :

Volume of cone = (1/3) × (22/7) × r2 ×  h

Calculation :

Volume of cone = (1/3) × (22/7) × 142 ×  24

⇒ Volume of cone = 22 × 14 × 2 × 8 = 4928

∴ Volume of cone is 4928 cm3

The correct answer is 'Option 3'

 

Key Points:

 

Stage, when referred to as a step or period in a process, is the appropriate word here. "At a particular stage of life" is a phrase used to designate a specific period in a person's lifetime during which certain events or transformations typically occur.

Example: Puberty is a specific stage of life where numerous physiological changes occur.

Additional Information:

 

'Stage' as a raised platform (Option 1) could be used in the context of a performance or presentation setting. Example: The actor performed on the stage.

'Plane' (Option 2) refers to a flat or level surface; it is not relevant in this context.

'Plain' (Option 4) denotes a large area of flat land or simplicity and is not suitable in this context.

Therefore, the correct answer is- Option 3: Stage (step)

The correct answer is 'Option 2'

<br>

Key Points

The error in this sentence is in the segment "loves to eat". Since there are two subjects ("Jiten and Hiru"), the verb must be in plural form to match.

Therefore, 'loves' should be changed to 'love', resulting in: "Jiten and Hiru love to eat French fries for lunch."

This revised sentence correctly matches the plural subjects with proper verb form.

Therefore, the correct answer is - Option 2

<br>

Additional Information

Option 1: "French fries", Option 3:"lunch" and Option 4: "eat" have no errors in them as they are correctly used in the given sentence. The error lies in the verb and not the other components of the sentence.

The correct answer is 'Option 2'

The correct answer is 'Option 4'

 

Key Points:

 

Espouse, when used in context usually means to support or adopt a cause or way of life. Here, however, we're talking about taking a child into one's family legally and raising as one's own, which is referred to as 'adopting'.

Example: Mr. and Mrs. Smith decided to adopt a child from the local orphanage.

Additional Information:

 

'Adapted' (Option 1) generally refers to adjusting or becoming used to a new situation or environment.

'Adepted' (Option 2) is not a valid English word.

'Accepted' (Option 3) describes agreeing to something or being received favorably.

Therefore, the correct answer is- Option 4: 'Adopted'.

The correct answer is 'Option 3'

 

Key Points:

 

'Accurate' indicates something that is correct in all details, or exact.

Example: The shooter was accurate, hitting the target each time.

'Unreliable' refers to something or someone that cannot be relied upon, hence it is not correct or exact, making it an antonym of 'accurate'.

Example: The weather forecast has been unreliable, differing from the actual conditions.

Additional Information:

 

'Heist' (Option 1) refers to a robbery or a theft, it has no relation with the word 'accurate'.

'Proficient' (Option 2) means skilled or competent in doing or using something, often through training.

'Fiesta' (Option 4) is a Spanish word used in English to denote a festival or a celebratory event, it also doesn't relate to 'accurate' in any way.

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

The correct answer is 'Option 1'

 

Key points:

 

The sentence requires an adjective that compares distances.

 

The adjective "farthest" means a greater distance than any other among a set of things or people.

 

Therefore, "farthest" is the most appropriate term to complete the sentence, which then reads, "His seat was the farthest in our row."

 

Therefore, the correct answer is - Option 1

 

Additional information:

 

Option 2: "near to", is not suitable here because it doesn't make sense to say "His seat was the near to in our row."

 

Option 3: "further" typically refers to a greater degree, as opposed to an actual physical distance.

 

Option 4: "far" is not grammatically correct in this case.

The correct answer is 'Option 3'

 

Key Points:

 

'Abreviations' in the given sentence is incorrectly spelled. The correct spelling is 'Abbreviations'.

Example: Abbreviations like 'NATO' or 'radar' are commonly used in everyday language.

Additional Information:

 

'Abreviashions' (Option 1), 'Abbriviations' (Option 2), and 'Abriviations' (Option 4) are all misspelled and don't exist in the English language.

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

The correct answer is 'Option 4'

• 'Against' (Option 2) indicates opposition or resistance to something.
• 'Apply' (Option 3) often refers to making a formal application or request.

The correct answer is 'Eradicate'.

 

Key Points 

 

• 'Exterminate' in this context refers to the complete destruction or elimination of something.
• Example: The goal is to exterminate the invasive species in the region.
• 'Eradicate' is a synonym for 'exterminate', also meaning to destroy or eliminate completely.
• Example: Efforts are being made to eradicate illiteracy.

 

Additional Information 

 

• 'Plant'  generally refers to placing or fixing something firmly.
• 'Endure' refers to suffering something patiently.
• 'Secure'  often refers to fixing or protecting something.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Eradicate'.

The correct answer is 'Option 4'

'Maximum' (Option 3) means the highest or greatest possible.

Therefore, the correct answer is- Option 4: 'Cramped'.

The correct answer is 'Option 1'

 

Key Points:

 

In the sentence, the speaker suggests they should trust a person who has reformed, implying giving them chance despite doubts that may exist due to past behavior.

Example: Although he made mistakes in the past, we should trust him now as he is a reformed individual.

'To give someone the benefit of the doubt' is an idiom that closely mirrors this sentiment.

Example: I didn't agree with her decision, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt because she's usually right.

Additional Information:

 

'To make matters worse' (Option 2) refers to exacerbating a problem or situation.

'No pain, no gain' (Option 3) refers to needing to work hard (experiencing 'pain') to get results (the 'gain').

'To wrap our head around something' (Option 4) means trying to understand a complex concept or issue.

The correct answer is 'Option 2'

 

Key points:

 

The original phrase "have get hot under the collar" is grammatically incorrect.

 

The phrase should be "got hot under the collar," which means the manager became angry.

 

The corrected sentence now reads: "The manager got hot under the collar when the workers demanded higher wages."

 

Therefore, the correct answer is - Option 2

 

Additional information:

 

Option 1: "had get under the collar" is incorrect because the auxiliary verb 'had' is followed by the incorrect verb form 'get.'

 

Option 3: "get hot under the collar" incorrectly uses the present tense 'get' instead of the past tense 'got.'

 

Option 4: "will got under the collar" is grammatically incorrect as 'will' should be followed by a base verb, not a past tense verb.

The correct answer is 'Option 4'

Key Points

• The phrase "shall not cause you warts" is incorrect because the future tense "shall" isn't typically used in this type of conditional statement about a general truth.
• The correct phrase should be "won't give you warts", as the verb 'give' is more appropriate to use here, referring to the development of a condition (warts).
• Therefore, the correct sentence should read: "The bufotoxin present on a toad's skin can irritate you but touching a toad won't give you warts."

Therefore, the correct answer is - Option 4

Additional Information

• Option 1: "was not cause" is gramatically incorrect, 'was' is not suitable in this sentence as it's a present condition we're addressing.
• Option 2: "do not cause" changes the implied possibility (expressed by 'can') into a hard negative, which is not the intent of the original sentence.
• Option 3: "has not give" is grammatically incorrect because 'has' doesn't fit in the sentence.

The correct answer is 'Apparent'.

 

Key Points 

 

• 'Manifest' typically means to display or show, being clear and obvious to the eye or mind.
• Example: His anxiety was manifest in his sweaty palms.
• 'Apparent' is a synonym of 'manifest', indicating something which is clearly visible or understood.
• Example: It's apparent that she is not pleased with the outcome.

 

Additional Information 

 

• 'Cryptic' refers to having a meaning that is mysterious or obscure.
• 'Natural'  often suggests something that is innate or occurring in nature.
• 'Concealed'  refers to something that has been kept secret or hidden.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Apparent'.

The correct answer is 'Option 3'

 

Key points:

 

The sentence needs a verb in the blank to indicate what the minister's early arrival did among the organizers.

 

The verb "created" fits well in this context, as it implies the minister's punctuality inspired a sense of surprise (wonder) and amazement (awe).

 

Therefore, the correct sentence should read: "The minister reached the venue of the programme before time, which created wonder and awe among the organisers."

 

Therefore, the correct answer is - Option 3

 

Additional information:

 

Option 1: "strengthened" would imply there was existing wonder and awe which the minister's behaviour has heightened. But the sentence suggests a new sentiment created by the minister's punctuality.

 

Option 2: "draped" doesn't fit in the sentence, it's typically used to describe something cover or envelop a thing or place.

 

Option 4: "lagged" is incorrect, as it denotes delay or slow movement, opposite of the intent of the sentence.

Correct answer: 'Option 2' i.e. 'as much'.

<br>

Key Points

The phrase 'as much' is used to denote equivalency or equality in quantity, size, or degree. Here, it implies that the potassium content in a serving of kiwi fruit is equivalent to that in a banana.

The usage of 'as much' maintains the comparison of nutrient content between the kiwi fruit and other fruits. It keeps the sentence clear and coherent.

'As much' fits appropriately into the sentence structure, complementing the existing context of comparison in the sentence.

By using 'as much', a clear comparison is established between the nutrient value of a kiwi and a banana, enhancing the understanding and comprehension of the text.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 2' i.e. 'as much'.

<br>

Additional Information

Lot of: The phrase 'lot of' is used to denote a large amount or number of a particular thing, but it does not convey the equivalency implied in the context of this sentence.

As much as: This is a comparative phrase similar to 'as much', but the subsequent 'as' is unnecessary in this context as the comparison is already established by the surrounding sentence structure.

Much of: This phrase is often used to suggest a large part or majority of something. It doesn't express the equivalence required in the context of this sentence.

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

<br>

Key Points

The word 'regulating' fits the context as it suggests controlling or maintaining the rate or speed of a bodily process. This context discusses the benefits of the fiber in kiwi, and one of the main roles of fiber is to help regulate digestion.

'Regulating' adheres to the sentence structure and the ongoing context of explaining the nutritional contributions of kiwi fruit to bodily functions.

The terminology matches the scientific nature of the sentence. The word 'regulating' is often used in nutritional and health contexts to describe the management or adjustment of a system in the body.

By using 'regulating', the crucial role of fiber in the digestive process is clearly communicated, enhancing reader comprehension.

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

<br>

Additional Information

Repressing: This term generally refers to subduing something or preventing something from happening, not controlling or maintaining a process, which makes it an unsuitable choice for this context.

Taming: While 'taming' can mean controlling or restraining, it's more often used in the context of wild animals, not for bodily processes, and so doesn't fit well in the given context.

Constraining: This term typically indicates limiting or restricting something, not maintaining or managing a process, making it inappropriate for this context.

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

<br>

Key Points

The verb 'convert' is used to denote change in form, character, or function. In this context, it refers to the process where nutrients from food are transformed into energy in the body.

The use of 'convert' fits naturally into the sentence structure and maintains the overall coherence of the sentence, effectively describing the function of magnesium, a nutrient involved in energy production process.

The word 'convert' provides precise meaning, aligning with the biochemical processes happening in the body during digestion and metabolism of food into energy.

The use of 'convert' in this sentence provides the reader with a clear understanding of the nutritional benefits of consuming kiwi: it's rich in magnesium, which has essential role in energy production.

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

Additional Information

Vary: This verb is used to change or alter in form, appearance, or nature and does not fit appropriately within the context of metabolic processes, making it an unsuitable choice.

Revise: The verb 'revise' means to reexamine and make alterations to (written or printed matter), which doesn’t fit contextually as food is not revised into energy, it’s converted.

Displace: This verb is often used to describe the act of moving something from its place or position which does not make sense within a biological or metabolic context.

Correct answer - 'Packed'

 

Key Points

The sentence is describing the nutritional content of kiwi fruit, specifically its high potassium content.

 

The word 'packed' is often used to describe something that has been filled with as much as possible or to the greatest degree - in this context, it emphasizes how much potassium is contained within kiwi fruit.

 

'Packed' is a common term in nutritional contexts to suggest that a food is very rich in a certain nutrient.

 

The word 'packed' conveys the right message succinctly and powerfully, without negative connotations or excessive verbosity.

 

Therefore, the correct answer is 'packed'.

 

Additional Information

Burdened: This word generally has a negative connotation, suggesting an excessive load or weight that can be cumbersome or troubling - it is not a suitable word to describe the beneficial abundance of a nutrient in a fruit.

 

Condensed: This word suggests a substance that has been compressed or compacted, typically through a process of evaporation or compression. It doesn't accurately describe a large amount of a nutrient naturally existing within a fruit.

 

Overstuffed: Much like 'burdened', this term also carries a negative connotation. Overstuffing suggests an excessive or unmanageable amount of something, which doesn't suit the context of describing a nutrient-rich fruit.

Correct answer - 'Ultimately'

 

Key Points

'Ultimately' is used to show something is the final result of a process or situation. In this context, it highlights that the change of name from 'Yang Tao' or 'Chinese Gooseberry' to kiwi fruit was the end result of a process.

 

The blank needs a word that indicates the progression of time and the finality or conclusion of an event. 'Ultimately' fits well in such contexts.

 

'Ultimately' is often used to imply a conclusion or a definitive decision after considering all facts.

 

Here, the fruit's name change might have been driven by factors such as clarity, marketing, and product recognition. The process of undergoing these considerations and then arriving at the decision is encapsulated effectively by the word 'ultimately'.

 

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Ultimately'.

 

Additional Information

Anon: Anon means 'soon' or 'shortly', but it's an archaic English term that's not much used today. It doesn't convey the sense of finality that's needed in this sentence.

 

Presently: This word implies 'in a short while', 'soon', or 'currently'. It doesn't capture the necessary sense of finality and conclusion that's required in this context.

 

Directly: Directly implies 'right away' or 'immediately'. But it doesn’t offer a sense of a process that has taken place before the name change was made, which is not suitable in this context.
