Hence, none follows.

12. Direction: Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions:

4 9 % 6 I $ 2 8 A * J K 7 1 + & P 3 U ≤ 5 > V @ ¥ W X =

Question:

How many such numbers are there in the above arrangement which is immediately followed by a vowel and preceded by a symbol.

A. 3

B. 1

C. 2

D. 4

E. None of these

Solution

Given series:

Left Side 4 9 % 6 I $ 2 8 A * J K 7 1 + & P 3 U ≤ 5 > V @ ¥ W X = Right Side

Numbers which is immediately followed by a vowel and preceded by symbol:

4 9 % 6 I $ 2 8 A * J K 7 1 + & P 3 U ≤ 5 > V @ ¥ W X =

Hence, there is only one number which is immediately followed by a vowel and preceded by symbol: % 6 I

13. Direction: Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions:

4 9 % 6 I $ 2 8 A * J K 7 1 + & P 3 U ≤ 5 > V @ ¥ W X =

Question:

Four of the five are alike in a certain way based on their positions in the above arrangement and so form a group. Which is the one that does not belong to that group.

A. 8 I K

B. V ≤ X

C. 1 J 3

D. 2 6 K

E. U & V

Solution

Given Series:

Left Side 4 9 % 6 I $ 2 8 A * J K 7 1 + & P 3 U ≤ 5 > V @ ¥ W X = Right Side

Here the group is formed in which there is a gap of 2 elements between the first and the second elements and the gap of 3 element between the first and third element.

8 I K – I $ 2 8 A * J K (2 elements between 8 and I, 3 elements between 8 and K)

V ≤ X – ≤ 5 > V @ ¥ W X (2 elements between V and ≤, 3 elements between V and X)

1 J 3 – J K 7 1 + & P 3 (2 elements between 1 and J, 3 elements between 1 and 3)

2 6 K – 6 I $ 2 8 A * J K (2 elements between 2 and 6, 4 elements between 2 and K)

U & V – & P 3 U ≤ 5 > V (2 elements between U and &, 3 elements between U and V)

Hence, 2 6 K does not belong to the group.

14. Direction: Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions:

4 9 % 6 I $ 2 8 A * J K 7 1 + & P 3 U ≤ 5 > V @ ¥ W X =

Question:

Which of the following is the thirteenth to the left of the tenth element from the right end of the above arrangement?

A. A

B. $

C. 6

D. =

E. None of these

Solution

Given Series:

Left Side 4 9 % 6 I $ 2 8 A * J K 7 1 + & P 3 U ≤ 5 > V @ ¥ W X = Right Side

10^thelement from the rightend is: 4 9 % 6 I $ 2 8 A * J K 7 1 + & P 3 U ≤ 5 > V @ ¥ W X =

13^thelement from the left of the 10^thelement is: 4 9 % 6 I $ 2 8 A * J K 7 1 + & P 3 U ≤ 5 > V @ ¥ W X =

Trick:

When the element from the right/left side and from the left/right side is given we will add them.

When the element from the right/right side or from the left/left side is given we will subtract them.

Hence, 23^rd element is $.

B. 75.95

C. 53.4

D. 49.5

E. 68.5

Solution

Given:

The average score of X and Y is 41.5

The average score of Y and Z is 62.5

The average score of Z and X is 54.95

Formula used:

Total Sum = Average × No of terms

Calculation:

Total score of X and Y = 41.5 × 2

X + Y = 83 ——-(1)

Total score of Y and Z = 62.5 × 2

Y + Z = 125 ——-(2)

Total score of Z and X = 54.95 × 2

Z + X = 109.9 ——–(3)

By adding equations (1), (2) and (3)

42. Pipe X, Y, and Z can fill a reservoir in 8 hrs. After working at it together for 2 hrs, Z is closed but X and Y can fill the remaining part in 12 hrs. How much time will taken by Z to fill the reservoir?

A. 21 hrs

B. 10 hrs

C. 16 hrs

D. 25 hrs

E. None of these

Solution

Given:

Pipe X, Y and Z can fill the reservoir in 8 hrs

Three pipes together work for 2 hrs

The remaining part X and Y can fill in 12 hrs

Concept used:

Let, Pipe A can fill a tank in x hrs

⇒ Pipe A can fill a tank in 1 hr = 1/x

Calculation:

Pipe X, Y and Z can fill a reservoir in 8 hrs

⇒ Pipe X, Y and Z fill the reservoir in 1 hr = 1/8

⇒ Pipe X, Y and Z fill the reservoir in 2 hr = 2/8 = 1/4

⇒ Remaining part to be filled = (1 – 1/4) = 3/4

(X + Y) can fill the reservoir in 12 hrs = 3/4

⇒ (X + Y) can fill the reservoir in 1 hr = 1/16

⇒ Z alone can fill the cistern in (1/8) – (1/16) = (1/16) = 16 hrs

∴ The time in which Z will fill the reservoir is 16 hrs.

43. In a company, three persons A, B, and C share their profit in the ratio 4 : 7 : 3 respectively. B retired from the company and, A & C decided to share the profit in the ratio 4 : 3. Calculate the ratio of their gain.

A. 3 : 4

B. 4 : 3

C. 3 : 5

D. 5 : 3

E. 4 : 5

Solution

Given:

A, B, and C share their profit in the ratio 4 : 7 : 3 respectively

B retired from the company and, A & C decided to share the profit in the ratio 4 : 3

Calculation:

The initial profit share of A = 4/(4 + 7 + 3) = 4/14 unit

The initial profit share of C = 3/(4 + 7 + 3) = 3/14 unit

After B retired,

The profit share of A = 4/(4 + 3) = 4/7

The profit share of C = 3/(4 + 3) = 3/7

Gain of A = (4/7) – (4/14) = 28/98

Gain of C = (3/7) – (3/14) = 21/98

The respective ratio of gain of A and C = (28/98) : (21/98) = 4 : 3

∴ The correct answer is option 2

44. A 180 lit mixture (curd + water) contains curd and water in the ratio 7:5 respectively. If 15 lit of curd and 5 lit of water are added, then what will be the ratio of quantity of curd to that of water in the resultant mixture?

A. 3:2

B. 2:5

C. 5:3

D. 7:2

E. 2:7

Solution

Solution:

The original mixture is 180 liters, composed of curd and water in the ratio 7:5.

The quantity of curd in the original mixture = (7/12) × 180 liters = 105 liters

The quantity of water in the original mixture = (5/12) × 180 liters = 75 liters

Now, 15 liters of curd and 5 liters of water are added to the mixture.

New quantity of curd = 105 liters + 15 liters = 120 liters

New quantity of water = 75 liters + 5 liters = 80 liters

The ratio of curd to water in the new mixture = 120 : 80 = 3 : 2

Therefore, in the resultant mixture, the ratio of the quantity of curd to that of water is 3:2.

h = 60/4
h = 15 cm
Height of the triangle = 15 cm

71. Read the following sentence and determine whether there is an error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. If the sentence is error-free, then select ‘No Error’ as your answer.

The wards of the hostel are (A)/ allowed to do (B)/ anything except to go out (C)/ on their own at night. (D) No error (E)

A. A

B. B

C. C

D. D

E. E

Solution

The correct answer is anything except to go out – the error lies in this part only.

Key Points

In the given sentence, the error is in part C, where to should be removed because when ‘except’ links two clauses, the second clause usually begins with a bare infinitive.

Therefore the correct usage must be ‘anything except go out on their own’to rectify the erroneous part.

Thus, the correct sentence is: The wards of the hostel are allowed to do anything except go out on their own at night.

Additional Information
Bare Infinitive: The bare infinitive is a type of complement with an infinitive verb form that’s not preceded by the word ‘to’.

The bare infinitive is used after verbs of perception (see, feel, hear), many auxiliary verbs (may, should, must), the verbs make and let, and the expressions had better and would rather.

72. Read the sentence below to find out if there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If there is no error the answer is (5). (Ignore errors in punctuation if any).

Darshana, the most eminent (A)/ dancer in our class can not(B)/ dance because she(C)/ has leg injury.(D)/No error(E)

A. A

B. B

C. C

D. D

E. E

Solution

The correct answer is option 2.

KEY POINTS:

In the given sentence error is in part B, The error is in the use of Can not.
The thing to remember is when you use “not” with “can” to express a negative statement, you always put them together.
They actually become one word: “cannot”, and not “can not”.
This is the only time you join a modal verb with “not” into one.
But with the other models, “not” is always a separate word.

Correct answer – Darshana the most eminent dancer in our class cannot dance because she has a leg injury.

Additional Information:

SHOULD is used for giving advice: You should revise the book before the exam.

A modal verb is a type of verb that is used to indicate modality

Eg. likelihood, ability, permission, request, capacity, suggestions, order, obligation, or advice. …

In English, the modal verbs commonly used are can, could, may, might, shall, should, will, would, and must.

A. A

B. B

C. C

D. D

E. E

Solution

The correct answer is Option 3.

Key Points

The primary issue in the sentence is the omission of the article “the” before the term “market.”
Definite articles such as “the” are necessary before specific singular nouns.
The correct phrase should be “in the market,” ensuring grammatical correctness and clarity.
Thus, the error is located in part C of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is C.

Correct Sentence: “Sachin Patra cannot buy a newly available chocolate in the market because he doesn’t have enough money.”

Additional Information

No error – This would be the correct option if there were no mistakes in the sentence, but there is an error in part C.

A: “Sachin Patra cannot” – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.

B: “buy a newly available chocolate” – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.

D: “doesn’t have enough money.” – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.

74. Read the sentence below to find out if there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If there is no error the answer is (5). (Ignore errors in punctuation if any).

75. Direction: Evaluate the following word, accompanied by three sentences containing it. Determine the sentence(s) that accurately convey the meaning of the given word.

Infirmity

A. The old man’s infirmity made it difficult for him to walk without assistance.

B. The project suffered from an infirmity of clear planning and organisation.

C. Due to the car’s infirmity, it couldn’t compete in the race.

A. Only A

B. Both A & B

C. Only C

D. All A, B & C

E. None of these

Solution

The correct answer is option 2.

Key Points

To answer this question, let’s first understand the meaning of the word given in the question:
Infirmity: physical or mental weakness. (दुर्बलता, कमजोरी)
Now, let’s examine the given sentences:
Sentence A: The old man’s infirmity made it difficult for him to walk without assistance.
- This sentence correctly uses the word “infirmity” to describe physical weakness that makes walking difficult.
Sentence B: The project suffered from an infirmity of clear planning and organisation.
- This sentence also correctly uses the word “infirmity” to describe a weakness or flaw in the planning and organisation of the project.
Sentence C: Due to the car’s infirmity, it couldn’t compete in the race.
- This sentence incorrectly uses the word “infirmity” because “infirmity” does not apply to objects like cars; a car cannot have a physical or mental weakness in the way living beings can.
So, sentences A and B correctly use the word “infirmity” to illustrate different contexts of weakness or flaw.

Therefore, the correct answer is “Both A & B.“

76. Directions: Below is a word/phrasal verb/idiom, followed by three sentences incorporating the word/phrasal verb/idiom. Identify the sentence(s) that best illustrate(s) the meaning of the word/phrasal verb/idiom. Choose option 5: “None of the above” if the word/phrasal verb/idiom is not used correctly in any of the sentences.

ECLECTIC

A. The team leader’s eclectic demeanour created a toxic work environment, stifling creativity and collaboration.

A. Only C

B. Only B

C. Both B and C

D. Both A and B

E. None of the above

Solution

The correct answer is option 3.

Key Points

Therefore, the correct answer is “Both B and C.”

To answer this question, let’s first understand the meaning of the word given in the question:

Eclectic – deriving ideas, style, or taste from a broad and diverse range of sources (विविध)

For Example –

Her eclectic taste in music ranged from classical symphonies to modern pop and indie rock.

Now, let’s examine the given sentences:

Sentence A: The team leader’s eclectic demeanour created a toxic work environment, stifling creativity and collaboration.

The word “eclectic” typically refers to a varied, diverse taste or style, not necessarily contributing to a toxic work environment. Here, the word “arrogant” better denotes the domineering, stifling behaviour of the team leader in this context.

The correct sentence would be: “The team leader’s arrogant demeanour created a toxic work environment, stifling creativity and collaboration.”

Sentence B: The restaurant’s menu offered an eclectic array of dishes, blending Asian, Mediterranean, and South American cuisines.

This sentence fits perfectly with the meaning of “eclectic.” It describes a menu with a diverse range of dishes from different culinary backgrounds, fitting the definition of “eclectic.”

Sentence C: The eclectic group of friends brought diverse perspectives and opinions to every conversation they had.

This sentence also aligns well with the meaning of “eclectic.” It describes a group of friends with varied backgrounds, bringing diverse perspectives to their conversations.

So, after understanding the meaning of the given word, we can conclude that out of the three given sentences, both sentences B and C use the word “eclectic” correctly, while sentence A don’t use it correctly.

77. A sentence/ a part of the sentence is underlined. Five alternatives are given to the underlined part which will improve the meaning of the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed. Click the option corresponding to “No improvement”.

Until the train will not get the signal, it will not leave the platform.

A. will get

B. not gets

C. gets

D. would not get

E. No improvement

Solution

The correct answer is ‘gets’.

Key Points

Here in the given sentence, ‘will not get’ is used which is wrong.
If two actions take place one after the other in the future, and if the second action depends on the first action, the first action is in simple present tense and the second action is in the simple future tense.
Example– She will come to meet you as soon as you reach Delhi.
‘Until/ unless’ is not followed by ‘not’.
- So, here we have to omit ‘not’ in the sentence
Here in the given sentence, first the train will get a signal then only it will leave the platform. It is the first action, so it will in the simple present tense.

The correct sentence: Until the train gets the signal, it will not leave the platform.

78. A sentence/ a part of the sentence is underlined. Five alternatives are given to the underlined part which will improve the meaning of the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, click the option corresponding to ‘No improvement’.

The morning light was too bright for his eyes, and he turned to face shelves of big old brown antique books.

A. brown old big antique

B. No improvement

C. old big brown antique

D. antique brown big old

E. brown antique old big

Solution

The correct answer is ‘No improvement’.

Key Points

We need to first identify if the underlined part of the sentence has an error which would lead to its replacement by an appropriate phrase.
The highlighted phrase is a list of adjectives describing the books on shelves.
Adjectives occur in a particular order which is : Quantity or number- Quality or opinion – Size- Age -Shape – Color – Proper adjective (often nationality, other place of origin, or material) – Purpose or qualifier.
In the highlighted phrase, ‘big’ which is an adjective of size occurs before ‘old’ is an adjective of Age.

This makes option 2 the correct answer.

Hence, ‘big old brown antique’ is the correct phrase.

79. A sentence/ a part of the sentence is underlined. Five alternatives are given to the underlined part which will improve the meaning of the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, click the option corresponding to ‘No improvement’.

The government did not come forward with any programme of universally cash assisting for the workers.

A. university cash assist

B. universally cash assistance

C. universal cash assistance

D. universal cash assisting

E. No improvement

Solution

The correct answer is ‘universal cash assistance’.

Key Points

We need to first identify if the underlined part of the sentence has an error which would lead to its replacement by an appropriate phrase.
The underlined part of the sentence has two errors.

‘universally’ is an adverb. It cannot be used to modify the noun ‘cash’. It should be replaced by the adjective ‘universal’ which means applicable to all cases.
‘assisting’ is the gerund form of the verb ‘assist’. It cannot follow a noun. It can be replaced by the noun ‘assistance’ which means the provision of money, resources, or information to help someone and fits the context of the sentence.

This makes option 3 the correct answer.

Hence, ‘universal cash assistance’ is the correct replacement for the underlined phrase.
