Question : Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined words in the given sentence.
The heavy medications and strong drugs at the sanatorium will surely turn a patient completely lifeless and unresponsive.
Option 1: tombic
Option 2: cadaverous
Option 3: zonic
Option 4: wasted
Correct Answer: cadaverous
Solution : The most appropriate option is the first option.
Explanation: Cadaverous means resembling a corpse, having a deathly or pale appearance. In the context of the sentence, it fits well because it suggests that heavy medications and strong drugs might make a patient look lifeless and unresponsive.

Question : A shopkeeper offers two successive discounts of 15% and 20% on an article and is still able to earn a 70% profit. If he offers a single discount of 30%, what will his profit percentage be?
Option 1: 70%
Option 2: 75%
Option 3: 65%
Option 4: 50%
Correct Answer: 75%
Solution : Given,
Successive discounts = 15% and 20%
Profit = 70%
We know,
Selling Price = $\frac{100+\text{Profit%}}{100}\times$ CP, where CP is the cost price.
Let the cost price of an article be Rs. 100
⇒ Price after first discount of 15% = 100 – 15% of 100 = Rs. 85
⇒ Price after second discount of 20% = 85 – 20% of 85 = 85 − 17 = Rs. 68
So, the original cost Price = $\frac{100}{100+70}$ × 68 = $\frac{10}{17}$ × 68 = Rs. 40
To sell the article at a 30% discount,
Selling Price = 100 − $\frac{30}{100}$ × 100 = Rs. 70
⇒ Profit = SP – CP = 70 – 40 = Rs. 30
⇒ Profit Percentage = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{CP}}$ × 100 = $\frac{30}{40}$ × 100 = 75%
Hence, the correct answer is 75%.
Question : If $a= 9.6,b= 4.44,$ and $c= 5.16$, then the value of $a^3- b^3- c^3- 3 abc$ is:
Option 1: 0
Option 2: –1
Option 3: 2
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: 0
Solution : Given: $a= 9.6,b= 4.44,$ and $c= 5.16$
We know,
If $a-b-c=0,$ then $a^3-b^3-c^3-3abc=0$
Here, $a-b-c=9.6-4.44-5.16=0$
So, $a^3-b^3-c^3-3abc=0$
Hence, the correct answer is 0.

Question : In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, the side AB is extended to a point X. If $\angle XBC=82°$ and $\angle ADB=47°$, then the value of $\angle BDC$ is:
Option 1: 40°
Option 2: 35°
Option 3: 30°
Option 4: 25°
Correct Answer: 35°
Solution : 
Given: In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, $\angle XBC=82°$ and $\angle ADB=47°$.
A cyclic quadrilateral's exterior angle is equal to its opposite interior angle.
So, $\angle XBC= \angle ADC=82°$.
Also, $\angle ADB=47°$
⇒ $\angle BDC=82°-47°$
⇒ $\angle BDC=35°$
Hence, the correct answer is 35°.
