In relation to the first sentence above, what does the second sentence do?
Restates an idea from the first sentence. | |
Second sentence entirely contradicts the first sentence. | |
The two statements are unrelated. | |
States an effect of the first sentence. |
Question 1 Explanation:
First option is wrong because second sentence does not contradict the first sentence. Third option is wrong because two sentences are related. Fourth option is wrong because the second sentence does not repeat the first one.
Hence second option is correct which shows the result of the cause.
Hence second option is correct which shows the result of the cause.
Question 2 |
Consider a square sheet of side 1 unit. The sheet is first folded along the main diagonal. This is followed by a fold along its line of symmetry. The resulting folded shape is again folded along its line of symmetry. The area of each face of the final folded shape, in square units, equal to _____
\frac{1}{4} | |
\frac{1}{8} | |
\frac{1}{16} | |
\frac{1}{32} |
Question 2 Explanation:
Area=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{8}
Question 3 |
The ratio of the area of the inscribed circle to the area of the circumscribed circle of an equilateral triangle is
\frac{1}{8} | |
\frac{1}{6} | |
\frac{1}{4} | |
\frac{1}{2} |
Question 3 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} \sin 30^{\circ} &=\frac{r}{R} \\ \text { Area ratio } &=\frac{\pi r^{2}}{\pi R^{2}}=\sin ^{2} 30=\frac{1}{4} \end{aligned}
Question 4 |
A box contains 15 blue balls and 45 black balls. If 2 balls are selected randomly, without replacement, the probability of an outcome in which the first selected is a blue ball and the second selected is a black ball, is ____
\frac{3}{16} | |
\frac{45}{236} | |
\frac{1}{4} | |
\frac{3}{4} |
Question 4 Explanation:
The probability of first ball is blue and second ball is black is given as,
P=\frac{15}{60} \times \frac{45}{59}=\frac{45}{236}
P=\frac{15}{60} \times \frac{45}{59}=\frac{45}{236}

Question 6 Explanation:
Question 7 |
If \oplus \div \odot =2;\;\oplus \div \triangle =3;\;\odot +\triangle =5;\;\triangle \times \otimes =10,
Then, the value of ( \otimes - \oplus)^2 is
Then, the value of ( \otimes - \oplus)^2 is
0 | |
1 | |
4 | |
16 |
Question 7 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} \frac{\oplus}{\odot}&=2, \frac{\oplus}{\Delta}=3 \\ \therefore \qquad\frac{\Delta}{\odot}&=\frac{2}{3} &\ldots(1)\\ \odot+\Delta&=5 &\ldots(2)\\ \text{From (1) and (2)}\\ \Delta&=2, \odot=3\\ \text{and}\\ \oplus &=6,2 \times \otimes=10 \\ \otimes &=5 \\ \Rightarrow \quad(\otimes-\oplus)^{2}&=(5-6)^{2} =1 \end{aligned}
Question 8 |
A digital watch X beeps every 30 seconds while watch Y beeps every 32 seconds. They beeped together at 10 AM.
The immediate next time that they will beep together is ____
10.08 AM | |
10.42 AM | |
11.00 AM | |
10.00 PM |
Question 8 Explanation:
LCM of (30 and 32) is 480
480 seconds = 8 minutes
Hence, time will be 10.08 pm
480 seconds = 8 minutes
Hence, time will be 10.08 pm

Question 10 |
Five persons P, Q, R, S and T are to be seated in a row, all facing the same direction, but not necessarily in the same order. P and T cannot be seated at either end of the row. P should not be seated adjacent to S. R is to be seated at the second position from the left end of the row. The number of distinct seating arrangements possible is:
2 | |
3 | |
4 | |
5 |
Question 10 Explanation:
The possible distinct arrangement are
S R P T A, A R P T S, S R T P A
Hence, number of distinct sitting arrangement. = 3
S R P T A, A R P T S, S R T P A
Hence, number of distinct sitting arrangement. = 3
