Question : Which among the following rocks may contain fossils of plants, animals and other microorganisms that once lived on them?
Option 1: Metamorphic rocks
Option 2: Intrusive igneous rocks
Option 3: Sedimentary rocks
Option 4: Extrusive igneous rocks
Correct Answer: Sedimentary rocks
Solution : The correct option is Sedimentary rocks.
The type of rock that may contain fossils of plants, animals, and other microorganisms that once lived on or in them is called sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of sediments, which include the remains of organisms such as shells, bones, and plant material.
Question : A boat covers a distance of 72 km downstream in 6 hours, while it takes 12 hours to cover the same distance upstream. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
Option 1: 6 km/hr
Option 2: 9 km/hr
Option 3: 10 km/hr
Option 4: 8 km/hr
Correct Answer: 9 km/hr
Solution : The speed of the boat in still water can be calculated using the speeds of the boat downstream and upstream.
$\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$
The speed of the boat downstream (with the current) is the distance divided by the time, which is
$\frac{72 }{6 }$ = 12 km/hr
The speed of the boat upstream (against the current) is also the distance divided by the time, which is $\frac{72 }{12 }$ = 6 km/hr
The speed of the boat in still water is the average of the downstream and upstream speeds, which is $\frac{12 + 6 }{2}$ = 9 km/hr
Hence, the correct answer is 9 km/hr.
Question : The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
When the train pulled in / at the station, it take / Joseph some time / to get off.
Option 1: When the train pulled in
Option 2: at the station, it take
Option 3: Joseph some time
Option 4: to get off.
Correct Answer: at the station, it take
Solution : The segment that contains a grammatical error is the second option.
Explanation: The error lies in the tense consistency as per zero conditional. The correct form should be "it took" instead of "it take". In this context, took is the correct verb form to indicate that the action took place in the past as the subordinate clause is also in the past tense to maintain tense consistency.
So, the correct sentence would be: "When the train pulled in at the station, it takes Joseph some time to get off."
Question : Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
I'm so hungry I could eat lots of food.
Option 1: like a horse
Option 2: sour grapes
Option 3: a horse
Option 4: poison
Correct Answer: a horse
Solution : The third option is correct.
The phrase eat a horse is an idiom used to express an intense or voracious appetite. When someone says they can eat a horse, it means they are very hungry or can consume a significant amount of food, similar to the way horses are often depicted as eating large amounts.
In the given context, it seems like the person is very hungry. Hence, it is the most appropriate choice to complete the sentence.
Question : Given below are four sentences, three of which, are jumbled. Pick the option that gives the correct order.
A. The shelves in the library were filled with thick volumes: dictionaries, encyclopedias and other reference books.
B. This shelf was quite high and out of his reach, so he had to fetch a ladder to pick a book that interested him.
C. Ritesh found nothing that interested him, until he came to a small section on photography, which was one of his hobbies.
D. Unfortunately, as he was climbing down the ladder, the book that he had chosen slipped from his hand and fell with a loud thud.
Option 1: ACBD
Option 2: ABCD
Option 3: ABDC
Option 4: ADBC
Correct Answer: ACBD
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
The sequence begins with a general description of the library shelves filled with various books, establishing the setting in sentence A. It then shifts to Ritesh's search for an interesting book, leading to the discovery of a small section on photography, a topic that aligns with his hobbies in sentence C. The narrative continues in sentence B as Ritesh, unable to reach a high shelf, fetches a ladder to select a book. The paragraph concludes with sentence D, which explains, that as he descends the ladder, the chosen book slips from his hand, creating a dramatic moment with a loud thud. The order effectively moves from the broader context of the library to Ritesh's specific exploration and, finally in, an unexpected event, creating a coherent and engaging flow of information.
Question : The side of an equilateral triangle is 12 cm. What is the radius of the circle circumscribing this equilateral triangle?
Option 1: $6 \sqrt{3}\ \text{cm}$
Option 2: $4\sqrt{3}\ \text{cm}$
Option 3: $9 \sqrt{3}\ \text{cm}$
Option 4: $5\sqrt{3}\ \text{cm}$
Correct Answer: $4\sqrt{3}\ \text{cm}$
Solution : Given: Side of the equilateral triangle = 12 cm
We know that,
The radius of a circle circumscribing in an equilateral triangle
= $\frac{\text{side}}{\sqrt3}$
= $\frac{12}{\sqrt3}$
= $4\sqrt3\ \text{cm}$
Hence, the correct answer is $4\sqrt3\ \text{cm}$.
Question : Directions: In the given figure, how many papers are also hard?
Option 1: 14
Option 2: 23
Option 3: 37
Option 4: 32
Correct Answer: 23
Solution : In the below diagram, the shaded part represents papers that are also hard. The numbers of the asked fields that fall in the region of brown will also be counted as there is no direction given that the region belonging to brown can not be included.
So, Papers that are also hard→14 + 9 = 23
Therefore, the papers that are also hard is 23. Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : Directions: A piece of paper is folded and cut as shown below in the question figure. From the given answer figures, indicate how it will appear when opened?
Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:
Correct Answer:
Solution : When the given folded paper is unfolded, it will look like –
Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : Directions: In the following question, four number pairs are given. In each pair, the number on the left side of (–) is related to the number on the right side of (–) with some Logic/Rule /Relation. Three pairs are similar based on the same Logic/Rule/Relation. Select the odd one out from the given alternatives. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g.13 – operations on 13 such as adding /subtracting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
Option 1: 225 – 5733
Option 2: 169 – 7912
Option 3: 361 – 9786
Option 4: 289 – 3194
Correct Answer: 361 – 9786
Solution : Let's check each option –
First option: 225 : 5733; 225 = 152 and 5733 on reversing it gives 3375 = 153
Second option: 169 : 7912; 169 = 132 and 7912 on reversing it gives 2197 = 133
Third option: 361 : 9786; 361 = 192 and 9785 on reversing it gives 5879 ≠ 6859 = 193
Fourth option: 289 : 3194; 289 = 172 and 3194 on reversing it gives 4913 = 173
So, only the third option is different from the other three options as 9785 on reversing, it gives 9586 ≠ 193. Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : Directions: From the given options, which answer figure can be formed by folding the figure given in the question?
Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:
Correct Answer:
Solution : In a 3D view of dice,
1. Each face out of the three faces in the 3D view should be from all the pairs.
2. Two opposite faces cannot appear adjacently in the 3D view of a folded cube figure. So, the opposite pairs of faces are as follows –
Based on the above diagram and rules, the following image can be formed –
Hence, the first option is correct.
