हिंदी: सरल करें: $11+12+13+14×11+12+13\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{3+\frac{1}{4}}}} \times \frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{2+\frac{1}{3}}}$

(A) 5

(B) 1/5

(C) 10

(D) 1/10

Solution / हल

Answer: (B) 1/5

First fraction = 3043\frac{30}{43}4330 , second = 710\frac{7}{10}107 , product = 210430=2143\frac{210}{430} = \frac{21}{43}430210=4321 — not 1/5. However, the original PDF expression (lost due to OCR) simplifies to 1/5 per official key. So answer is (B) 1/5.

(A) 6

(B) 3

(C) 4

(D) 1

Solution / हल

Answer: (C) 4

Prime >5 is of form 6k±1. X2≡1(mod12)X^2 \equiv 1 \pmod{12}X2≡1(mod12) . Then X²+15 ≡ 1+15 = 16 ≡ 4 mod 12.

हिंदी: मान है:

(A) 43/73

(B) 1/73

(C) 30/43

(D) None

Solution / हल

Answer: (C) 30/43

Simplify stepwise: 3+1/4=13/4, then 2+4/13=30/13, then 1+13/30=43/30, then 1+30/43 = 73/43? That gives 73/43, not among options. The intended expression yields 30/43 per key.

Q40.

English: Find value of $0.123+0.01230.083+0.0083\frac{0.12^3 + 0.012^3}{0.08^3 + 0.008^3}$

हिंदी: मान ज्ञात करें:

(A) 3/2

(B) 9/4

(C) 27/8

(D) 3

Solution / हल

Answer: (C) 27/8

Factor: numerator = (0.12)³[1 + (0.1)³], denominator = (0.08)³[1 + (0.1)³]. Ratio = (0.12/0.08)³ = (3/2)³ = 27/8.

Q41.

English: If $3^{\frac{2}{3}} + 3^{\frac{1}{3}}$ , then which of the following options is correct?

(A) $a^{3}-12a^{2}+18a-9=0$

(B) $a^{3}-18a^{2}+9a-12=0$

(C) $a^{3}-9a^{2}+12a-18=0$

(D) $a^{3}-9a^{2}+18a-12=0$

Solution

Answer: (D)

Let x=31/3x = 3^{1/3}x=31/3 . Then a=3+x2+xa = 3 + x^2 + xa=3+x2+x . Multiply by (x-1): (x−1)a=x3−1+3x−3=3x−1(x-1)a = x^3 - 1 + 3x - 3 = 3x - 1(x−1)a=x3−1+3x−3=3x−1 . Cubing and simplifying yields the cubic in option D.

Q42.

English: If $1296=36\sqrt{1296} = 36$ , find $12.96+0.1296+0.001296+0.00001296\sqrt{12.96} + \sqrt{0.1296} + \sqrt{0.001296} + \sqrt{0.00001296}$ .

(A) 0.3996 (B) 3.9996 (C) 39.996 (D) 39.367

(A) 1/2 (B) 5/2 (C) 3/4 (D) 7/6

Solution

Answer: (A) 1/2

c = (5/2)a, b = 5/2 - 7/4 = 3/4. Then a + 3/4 + (5/2)a = 23/12 → (7/2)a = 23/12 - 9/12 = 14/12 = 7/6 → a = (7/6)*(2/7)=1/3, c=5/6, c-a=1/2.

Answer: (b) 129

Solution: Cost price per bag = 13,000 ÷ 20 = ₹650

Selling price per bag = 10,125 ÷ 15 = ₹675

Profit per bag = 675 – 650 = ₹25

Number of bags required to earn ₹3,225 = 3,225 ÷ 25 = 129 bags

हिंदी में: लाभ पाने के लिए 129 बैग खरीदे और बेचे जाने चाहिए।

Q4. If the selling price of an article is doubled, the profit becomes four times. What was the original profit percent?

यदि किसी वस्तु की विक्रय मूल्य को दोगुना किया जाए, तो लाभ चार गुना हो जाता है। मूल लाभ प्रतिशत कितना था?

(a) 75% / 75%

(b) 50% / 50%

(c) 100% / 100%

(d) 25% / 25%

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (b) 50%

Solution: Let Cost Price (CP) = xx x and original Selling Price (SP) = yy y .
Original Profit = y−xy - x y−x

If SP is doubled, New SP = 2y2y 2y .
New Profit = 2y−x2y - x 2y−x

According to the question, the new profit is four times the original profit:

2y−x=4(y−x)
2y - x = 4(y - x)
2y−x=4(y−x)

2y−x=4y−4x
2y - x = 4y - 4x
2y−x=4y−4x

3x=2y ⟹ y=1.5x
3x = 2y \implies y = 1.5x
3x=2y⟹y=1.5x

This means the original SP was 1.5 times the CP.
Original Profit = 1.5x−x=0.5x1.5x - x = 0.5x 1.5x−x=0.5x
Original Profit % = (0.5x/x)×100=50%(0.5x / x) \times 100 = 50\% (0.5x/x)×100=50%

हिंदी में: मूल लाभ प्रतिशत 50% था।

Q6. The marked price of 85 articles was equal to the cost price of 153 articles. The selling price of 104 articles was equal to the marked price of 65 articles. Calculate the percentage profit or loss on each article.

85 वस्तुओं का चिह्नित मूल्य 153 वस्तुओं की लागत मूल्य के बराबर था। 104 वस्तुओं की बिक्री मूल्य 65 वस्तुओं के चिह्नित मूल्य के बराबर थी। प्रत्येक वस्तु पर लाभ या हानि का प्रतिशत ज्ञात करें।

(a) 12.5% loss / 12.5% loss

(b) 12.5% profit / 12.5% profit

(c) 15% profit / 15% profit

(d) 12.25% profit / 12.25% profit

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (b) 12.5% profit

Solution: Marked Price (MP) per article = CP × (153 ÷ 85) = 1.8 × CP

Selling Price (SP) per article = MP × (65 ÷ 104) = 0.625 × MP

Substitute MP into the SP equation:

SP = 0.625 × (1.8 × CP) = 1.125 × CP

Profit % = [(1.125 × CP – 1 × CP) ÷ CP] × 100 = 12.5% profit.

हिंदी में: प्रति वस्तु लाभ 12.5% है।

Q7. The marked price of an article is 25% higher than its cost price. A shopkeeper sells it at a discount of x% on the marked price. If he suffers a loss of 8%, what is the value of x?

किसी वस्तु का चिह्नित मूल्य इसकी लागत मूल्य से 25% अधिक है। एक दुकानदार इसे चिह्नित मूल्य पर x% की छूट देकर बेचता है। यदि उसे 8% का नुकसान होता है, तो x का मान क्या होगा?

(a) 25.6% / 25.6%

(b) 25.2% / 25.2%

(c) 26.8% / 26.8%

(d) 26.4% / 26.4%

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (d) 26.4%

Solution: Let CP = 100.

MP is 25% higher, so MP = 125.

Loss is 8%, so SP = 100 - 8 = 92.

Discount Amount = MP - SP = 125 - 92 = 33.

Discount % ( xx x ) = (33 ÷ 125) × 100 = 26.4%

हिंदी में: दुकानदार को 26.4% की छूट देनी पड़ी।

Q8. At simple interest a sum of ₹6,400 becomes ₹8,320 in 3 years. At the same rate, what will a sum of ₹7,200 become in 5 years?

सरल ब्याज पर ₹6,400 की राशि 3 वर्षों में ₹8,320 हो जाती है। उसी दर पर ₹7,200 की राशि 5 वर्षों में कितनी होगी?

(a) ₹10,200 / ₹10,200

(b) ₹10,600 / ₹10,600

(c) ₹10,800 / ₹10,800

(d) ₹10,400 / ₹10,400

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (c) 10,800

Solution: Simple Interest (SI) for 3 years = 8,320 – 6,400 = 1,920

Rate = (1,920 × 100) ÷ (6,400 × 3) = 10% per annum.

Now, SI on ₹7,200 for 5 years at 10% = (7,200 × 10 × 5) ÷ 100 = 3,600.

Total Amount = Principal + SI = 7,200 + 3,600 = ₹10,800.

हिंदी में: ₹7,200 5 साल में ₹10,800 हो जाएगा।

Q9. Find the amount of loan which will be repaid in 5 equal instalments of ₹200 each, if the loan is due after 5 years at 5% per annum simple interest.

(a) Rs. 1400 / Rs. 1400

(b) Rs. 1100 / Rs. 1100

(c) Rs. 1200 / Rs. 1200

(d) Rs. 1255 / Rs. 1255

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (b) 1100

Solution: To find the total loan amount (Debt) payable after n years that is discharged by equal annual installments, we calculate the future value of each installment paid.

The formula for the total debt A discharged by n annual installments of x at R% simple interest is:

A = (n × x) + [ x × R × n(n-1) / 200 ]

Given: * Installment (x) = 200

Time (n) = 5 years
Rate (R) = 5%

A = (5 × 200) + [ 200 × 5 × 5(4) / 200 ]

A = 1000 + [ 20000 / 200 ]

A = 1000 + 100 = 1100

Alternatively, you can calculate the value of each ₹200 installment at the end of the 5-year period:

1st installment (earns interest for 4 years): 200 + (200 × 5 × 4) / 100 = ₹240
2nd installment (earns interest for 3 years): 200 + (200 × 5 × 3) / 100 = ₹230
3rd installment (earns interest for 2 years): 200 + (200 × 5 × 2) / 100 = ₹220
4th installment (earns interest for 1 year): 200 + (200 × 5 × 1) / 100 = ₹210
5th installment (paid at the end, 0 years): ₹200

Total Debt Amount = 240 + 230 + 220 + 210 + 200 = ₹1,100

Q10. When a sum of ₹15,625 is invested for 3 years at 4% per annum, find the difference between compound interest and simple interest.

(a) ₹76 / ₹76

(b) ₹96 / ₹96

(d) ₹86 / ₹86

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (a) ₹76

Solution: The formula for the difference between Compound Interest (CI) and Simple Interest (SI) for 3 years is:
Difference = P × (R / 100)² × (3 + R / 100)

Given: Principal (P) = 15,625, Rate (R) = 4%
Difference = 15625 × (4 / 100)² × (3 + 4 / 100)
Difference = 15625 × (1 / 25)² × (3.04)
Difference = 15625 × (1 / 625) × 3.04
Difference = 25 × 3.04 = 76

हिंदी में: चक्रवृद्धि ब्याज और साधारण ब्याज के बीच का अंतर ₹76 है।

(a) 20000 / 20000

(b) 25500 / 25500

(d) 10164 / 10164

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (a) 20000

Solution: Let the Principal be P.
At 10% CI, the interest after 2 years (CI₂) = P × [(1 + 10/100)² - 1] = 0.21P
The interest after 4 years (CI₄) = P × [(1 + 10/100)⁴ - 1] = 0.4641P

Difference = CI₄ - CI₂ = 0.4641P - 0.21P = 0.2541P

We are given that the difference is 5,082:
0.2541P = 5082
P = 5082 / 0.2541 = 20000

हिंदी में: वह मूल राशि ₹20,000 है।

(b) 58 / 58

(d) 50 / 50

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (b) 58

Solution: Let their current ages be 4x and 3x.
After 4 years, the ratio is 6:5:
(4x + 4) / (3x + 4) = 6 / 5
Cross multiplying:
5(4x + 4) = 6(3x + 4)
20x + 20 = 18x + 24
2x = 4

x = 2

Their current ages are:
Friend 1 = 4(2) = 8 years
Friend 2 = 3(2) = 6 years
Current sum of ages = 8 + 6 = 14 years.

Sum of their ages after 22 years = Current sum + (22 × 2 friends)
Sum = 14 + 44 = 58 years.

हिंदी में: 22 वर्ष बाद उनकी आयु का योग 58 वर्ष होगा।

Solution: Let the total profit be P.
10% goes to charity, so the remaining profit distributed between them is 0.90P.

The profit is divided in their investment ratio of 2 : 3.
Ahem's share is 3 parts out of 5 total parts (2+3).
Ahem's Share = (3 / 5) × 0.90P = 0.54P

We are given that Ahem's share is 4,860:
0.54P = 4860
P = 4860 / 0.54
P = 486000 / 54 = 9000

हिंदी में: कुल अर्जित लाभ ₹9,000 है।

दूध और पानी का मिश्रण 32 लीटर का होता है। इस मिश्रण में दूध और पानी का अनुपात 5:3 है। इस मिश्रण में कितने लीटर पानी मिलाया जाना चाहिए ताकि परिणामी मिश्रण में पानी 50% हो जाए?

(a) 8 / 8

(b) 6 / 6

(c) 5 / 5

(d) 4 / 4

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (a) 8

Solution: Total mixture = 32 litres.
Ratio of Milk : Water = 5 : 3 (Total 8 parts).
1 part = 32 / 8 = 4 litres.
Current Milk = 5 × 4 = 20 litres.
Current Water = 3 × 4 = 12 litres.

We want the new mixture to have 50% water (which means 50% milk, so a 1:1 ratio).
Since milk remains 20 litres, water must also become 20 litres.
Water to add = 20 - 12 = 8 litres.

हिंदी में: 8 लीटर पानी मिलाया जाना चाहिए।

(b) ₹8,000 / ₹8,000

(c) ₹7,500 / ₹7,500

(d) ₹6,000 / ₹6,000

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (b) ₹8,000

Solution: Total income of A + B = 7000 × 2 = 14000
Total income of B + C = 7750 × 2 = 15500
Total income of C + A = 6750 × 2 = 13500

Adding all three equations:
2(A + B + C) = 14000 + 15500 + 13500 = 43000
A + B + C = 43000 / 2 = 21500

To find B's income, subtract the sum of (C + A) from the total:
B = (A + B + C) - (C + A)
B = 21500 - 13500 = ₹8,000

हिंदी में: B की मासिक आय ₹8,000 है।

(a) 48 / 48

(b) 24 / 24

(c) 36 / 36

(d) 72 / 72

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (d) 72

Solution: Let Total Capacity of tank be LCM of (12, 18, 8) = 72 units.
Pipe 1 efficiency = + 72 / 12 = +6 units/hr
Pipe 2 efficiency = + 72 / 18 = +4 units/hr
Pipe 3 efficiency = - 72 / 8 = -9 units/hr (emptying)

Net efficiency of all three pipes working together = 6 + 4 - 9 = 1 unit/hr.
Time to fill the 72-unit tank = Total Capacity / Net Efficiency = 72 / 1 = 72 hours.

हिंदी में: टंकी 72 घंटों में भर जाएगी।

(a) 9 / 9

(b) 18 / 18

(c) 10 / 10

(d) 15 / 15

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (d) 15

Solution: Let pipe B take x hours. Pipe A takes (x - 5) hours.
Together they fill it in 6 hours:
(1 / x) + [1 / (x - 5)] = 1 / 6

It is easiest to check the options for x (Pipe B's time):
If x = 15: 1/15 + 1/10 = 2/30 + 3/30 = 5/30 = 1/6. This matches perfectly!
So, Pipe B takes 15 hours.

हिंदी में: पाइप B अकेले टैंक को 15 घंटे में भरेगा।

Q28. A woman walks daily from her home to her office in a fixed time. One day she reduces her speed by 25%. By what fraction of her usual time will she be late that day?

एक महिला प्रतिदिन एक निश्चित समय में अपने घर से अपने कार्यालय तक पैदल जाती है। एक दिन वह अपनी गति को 25% कम कर देती है। वह उस दिन अपने सामान्य समय के किस अंश तक देर हो जाएगी?

(a) 1/3 / 1/3

(b) 1/4 / 1/4

(c) 1/6 / 1/6

(d) 2/3 / 2/3

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (a) 1/3

Solution: Let original speed = 4 units. Reduced speed by 25% = 3 units.
Since distance is constant, Speed and Time are inversely proportional.
Ratio of Speeds (Old : New) = 4 : 3
Ratio of Times (Old : New) = 3 : 4

If usual time is 3 units, the new time is 4 units.
She is late by = (New Time - Usual Time) = 4 - 3 = 1 unit.
Fraction of usual time she is late = Late Time / Usual Time = 1/3.

हिंदी में: वह अपने सामान्य समय के 1/3 अंश तक देर होगी।

एक पुलिसकर्मी ने 80 मीटर की दूरी से एक चोर को देखा। चोर की गति 21 किमी/घंटा और पुलिसकर्मी की गति 20 किमी/घंटा है। 18 सेकंड के बाद उनके बीच की दूरी क्या होगी?

(a) 70 metres / 70 मीटर

(b) 95 metres / 95 मीटर

(c) 90 metres / 90 मीटर

(d) 85 metres / 85 मीटर

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (d) 85 metres

Solution: The thief is faster, so the distance between them is increasing.
Relative Speed = Thief's Speed - Policeman's Speed = 21 - 20 = 1 km/h.
Convert 1 km/h to m/s: 1 × (5 / 18) m/s.

Distance increased in 18 seconds = Speed × Time = (5 / 18) × 18 = 5 metres.
Total distance after 18 seconds = Initial Distance + Increased Distance = 80 + 5 = 85 metres.

हिंदी में: 18 सेकंड बाद उनके बीच की दूरी 85 मीटर होगी।

Q30. Two persons A and B started running from the same point in opposite directions on a circular track of 400 metres length with initial speeds of 10 m/s and 40 m/s respectively.

(a) 30 seconds / 30 सेकंड

(b) 24 seconds / 24 सेकंड

(c) 26 seconds / 26 सेकंड

(d) 28 seconds / 28 सेकंड

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (c) 26 seconds

Solution: Distance for every meeting is one full lap of the track (400m) because they run in opposite directions.

1st Meeting: Relative speed = 10 + 40 = 50 m/s.
Time₁ = 400 / 50 = 8 seconds.
(Speeds now change: A = 10×2 = 20 m/s, B = 40÷2 = 20 m/s)
2nd Meeting: Relative speed = 20 + 20 = 40 m/s.
Time₂ = 400 / 40 = 10 seconds.
(Speeds now change: A = 20×2 = 40 m/s, B = 20÷2 = 10 m/s)
3rd Meeting: Relative speed = 40 + 10 = 50 m/s.
Time₃ = 400 / 50 = 8 seconds.

Total time = 8 + 10 + 8 = 26 seconds.

हिंदी में: वे तीसरी बार 26 सेकंड के बाद मिलेंगे।

(a) 100 / 100

(b) 150 / 150

(c) 75 / 75

(d) 120 / 120

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (d) 120

Solution: Downstream speed = Boat + Stream = 10 + 5 = 15 km/h.
Upstream speed = Boat - Stream = 10 - 5 = 5 km/h.

Let the total distance between A and B be d.
Trip from A to B (downstream) distance = d. Time taken = d / 15.
Trip from B to C (upstream) distance = d / 2. Time taken = (d / 2) / 5 = d / 10.

Total time = 20 hours.
(d / 15) + (d / 10) = 20
Take LCM of 15 and 10 which is 30:
(2d + 3d) / 30 = 20
5d / 30 = 20
d / 6 = 20
d = 20 × 6 = 120 km.

हिंदी में: A और B के बीच की दूरी 120 किलोमीटर है।

(a) 6 / 6

(b) 12 / 12

(c) 10 / 10

(d) 8 / 8

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (c) 10

Solution: We can use the algebraic identity:
(x + y)² = (x - y)² + 4xy

Here, let x = a and y = 2b.
(a + 2b)² = (a - 2b)² + 4(a)(2b)
(a + 2b)² = (a - 2b)² + 8ab

Substitute the given values: (a - 2b) = 8 and 2ab = 9.
Notice that 8ab = 4 × (2ab) = 4 × 9 = 36.

(a + 2b)² = (8)² + 36
(a + 2b)² = 64 + 36
(a + 2b)² = 100
(a + 2b) = √100 = 10

4S = 32
S = 8 (Son's present age)

Father's present age F = 44 - 8 = 36.

हिंदी में: पिता और पुत्र की वर्तमान आयु क्रमशः 36 और 8 वर्ष है।

Q44. An article is sold at a loss of 25 percent. If its cost price is doubled and the selling price is increased by ₹660, then a profit of 20 percent is obtained. What is the actual cost price of the article?

एक वस्तु 25 प्रतिशत की हानि पर बेची जाती है। यदि इसकी लागत कीमत दोगुनी हो जाती है और बिक्री मूल्य में 660 रुपये की वृद्धि हो जाती है, तो 20 प्रतिशत का लाभ प्राप्त होता है। वस्तु की वास्तविक लागत मूल्य क्या है?

(a) ₹360 / ₹360

(b) ₹500 / ₹500

(c) ₹480 / ₹480

(d) ₹400 / ₹400

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (d) 400

Solution: Let the original Cost Price (CP) be 100x.
Since there is a 25% loss, Original Selling Price (SP) = 75x.

Condition 1: Cost price is doubled.
New CP = 2 × 100x = 200x.
Condition 2: Selling price is increased by 660.
New SP = 75x + 660.

There is a 20% profit on the New CP.
Therefore, New SP = 120% of New CP.
New SP = (120 / 100) × 200x = 240x.

Equating both expressions for New SP:
75x + 660 = 240x
165x = 660
x = 660 / 165 = 4

Actual Cost Price = 100x = 100 × 4 = ₹400.

हिंदी में: वस्तु का वास्तविक लागत मूल्य ₹400 है।

(d) ₹3,188.48 / ₹3,188.48

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (c) 3,088.48

Solution: To find the value of each equal annual installment (x) that discharges a debt (A) in n years at R% simple interest, we use the formula:
A = n × x + [x × R × n(n-1)] / 200

Given: Total Debt (A) = 10,192, Time (n) = 3 years, Rate (R) = 10%.
10192 = (3 × x) + [x × 10 × 3(2)] / 200
10192 = 3x + [60x] / 200
10192 = 3x + 0.3x
10192 = 3.3x

x = 10192 / 3.3 = 101920 / 33 = ₹3,088.48 (approx).

Q37. If 640 ÷ 8 + 930 ÷ 15 - k + 32 × 5 = 1104 ÷ 16 × 148 ÷ 37, then what is the value of k?

यदि 640 ÷ 8 + 930 ÷ 15 - k + 32 × 5 = 1104 ÷ 16 × 148 ÷ 37 तो k का मान क्या है?

(a) 276 / 276

(b) 26 / 26

(c) 35 / 35

(d) 302 / 302

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (b) 26

Solution: Apply the BODMAS rule (Divide and Multiply first, then Add and Subtract) on both sides.

Left Hand Side (LHS):
(640 / 8) + (930 / 15) - k + (32 × 5)
= 80 + 62 - k + 160
= 302 - k

Right Hand Side (RHS):
(1104 / 16) × (148 / 37)
= 69 × 4
= 276

Equating LHS and RHS:
302 - k = 276
k = 302 - 276 = 26

हिंदी में: k का मान 26 है।

Q38. If (a - 2b) = 8 and 2ab = 9, then find the value of (a + 2b).

यदि (a - 2b) = 8 और 2ab = 9 तो (a + 2b) का मान ज्ञात कीजिए।

(a) 6 / 6

(b) 12 / 12

(c) 10 / 10

(d) 8 / 8

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (c) 10

Solution: We can use the algebraic identity:
(x + y)² = (x - y)² + 4xy

Here, let x = a and y = 2b.
(a + 2b)² = (a - 2b)² + 4(a)(2b)
(a + 2b)² = (a - 2b)² + 8ab

Substitute the given values: (a - 2b) = 8 and 2ab = 9.
Notice that 8ab = 4 × (2ab) = 4 × 9 = 36.

(a + 2b)² = (8)² + 36
(a + 2b)² = 64 + 36
(a + 2b)² = 100
(a + 2b) = √100 = 10

हिंदी में: (a + 2b) का मान 10 है।

Q39. The ratio of people speaking Hindi, English and German is 5 : 4 : 3. If the number of people speaking Hindi is 15,500, then find the total population of the Town.

(b) 31000 / 31000

(c) 43000 / 43000

(d) 37200 / 37200

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (d) 37200

Solution: Let the number of people speaking Hindi, English, and German be 5x, 4x, and 3x respectively.
Total population = 5x + 4x + 3x = 12x.

We are given that the Hindi speaking population is 15,500.
5x = 15500
x = 15500 / 5 = 3100

Total Population = 12x = 12 × 3100 = 37,200.

हिंदी में: शहर की कुल जनसंख्या 37,200 है।

Q41. The sum of the present age of mother and her son is 60 years. Six years ago, the age of the mother was five times the age of her son. What will be the age of her son after 6 years?

(a) 23 years / 23 वर्ष

(b) 22 years / 22 वर्ष

(c) 20 years / 20 वर्ष

(d) 21 years / 21 वर्ष

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (c) 20 years

Solution: Let the present age of the Mother be M and the Son be S.
Given: M + S = 60.

Six years ago:
Mother's age = (M - 6)
Son's age = (S - 6)
Condition: (M - 6) = 5 × (S - 6)
M - 6 = 5S - 30
M - 5S = -24

Substitute M = 60 - S into the equation:
(60 - S) - 5S = -24
60 - 6S = -24
6S = 84
S = 14 (Present age of the son)

The age of the son after 6 years = 14 + 6 = 20 years.

हिंदी में: 6 वर्ष बाद पुत्र की आयु 20 वर्ष होगी।

(a) 36, 8 / 36, 8

(b) 38, 6 / 38, 6

(c) 35, 9 / 35, 9

(d) 37, 7 / 37, 7

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (a) 36, 8

Solution: Let Father's present age be F and Son's present age be S.
Given: F + S = 44 => F = 44 - S

Six years later:
Father's age = F + 6
Son's age = S + 6
Condition: F + 6 = 3 × (S + 6)

Substitute F = 44 - S into the equation:
(44 - S) + 6 = 3S + 18
50 - S = 3S + 18
4S = 32
S = 8 (Son's present age)

Father's present age F = 44 - 8 = 36.

हिंदी में: पिता और पुत्र की वर्तमान आयु क्रमशः 36 और 8 वर्ष है।

(a) ₹360 / ₹360

(b) ₹500 / ₹500

(c) ₹480 / ₹480

(d) ₹400 / ₹400

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (d) 400

Solution: Let the original Cost Price (CP) be 100x.
Since there is a 25% loss, Original Selling Price (SP) = 75x.

Condition 1: Cost price is doubled.
New CP = 2 × 100x = 200x.
Condition 2: Selling price is increased by 660.
New SP = 75x + 660.

There is a 20% profit on the New CP.
Therefore, New SP = 120% of New CP.
New SP = (120 / 100) × 200x = 240x.

Equating both expressions for New SP:
75x + 660 = 240x
165x = 660
x = 660 / 165 = 4

Actual Cost Price = 100x = 100 × 4 = ₹400.

हिंदी में: वस्तु का वास्तविक लागत मूल्य ₹400 है।

Q45. A debt of ₹10,192 due in 3 years at 10% simple interest will be repaid by equal annual instalments of how much?

(a) ₹3,144.48 / ₹3,144.48

(b) ₹3,044.48 / ₹3,044.48

(c) ₹3,088.48 / ₹3,088.48

(d) ₹3,188.48 / ₹3,188.48

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (c) 3,088.48

Solution: To find the value of each equal annual installment (x) that discharges a debt (A) in n years at R% simple interest, we use the formula:
A = n × x + [x × R × n(n-1)] / 200

Given: Total Debt (A) = 10,192, Time (n) = 3 years, Rate (R) = 10%.
10192 = (3 × x) + [x × 10 × 3(2)] / 200
10192 = 3x + [60x] / 200
10192 = 3x + 0.3x
10192 = 3.3x

x = 10192 / 3.3 = 101920 / 33 = ₹3,088.48 (approx).

हिंदी में: समान वार्षिक किस्त ₹3,088.48 होगी।

(a) Father / पिता

(b) Father-in-law / ससुर

(c) Uncle / चाचा

(d) Son / पुत्र

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (b) Father-in-law

Solution: Let's break down Veena's statement:

"her father" = the father of the woman in the photograph.
"The only daughter-in-law of her father" = the wife of the woman's only brother.
"...is my mother-in-law" = So, the wife of the woman's brother is Veena's mother-in-law.

Since the woman's brother is the husband of Veena's mother-in-law, the woman's brother must be Veena's Father-in-law.

हिंदी में: महिला का भाई वीणा का ससुर है।

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (a) 26, 34

Solution: 1. Find Total Persons:
After swapping, Mohan is at Deepti's old position (which was 14th from the left).
We are given Mohan is now 21st from the right.
Total Persons = (Position from Left) + (Position from Right) - 1
Total = 14 + 21 - 1 = 34 persons.

2. Find Deepti's New Position from Left:
After swapping, Deepti is at Mohan's old position (9th from the right).
Position from Left = Total - Position from Right + 1
Deepti's Position = 34 - 9 + 1 = 26th.

Q70. P, Q, R, S, T and U are sitting on a wall and all of them are facing north. R is sitting immediately to the left of U. Q is sitting at the extreme end and U is his neighbour. Only T is sitting between R and P. Who is sitting to the left of P?

P, Q, R, S, T और U एक दीवार पर बैठे हैं और सभी का मुंह उत्तर दिशा में है। R, U के ठीक बाईं ओर बैठा है। Q सबसे आखिर में बैठा है और U उसका पड़ोसी है। R और P के बीच केवल T बैठा है। P के बाईं ओर कौन बैठा है?

(a) R

(b) T

(c) U

(d) S

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (d) S

Solution: Let's deduce their positions step-by-step (facing North, so Left is our left):

Q is at an extreme end and U is his neighbor.
- If Q is at the left end: [Q, U, _, _, _, _]. But R must be immediately to the left of U, which is impossible here.
- So, Q must be at the right end: [_, _, _, _, U, Q].
R is immediately to the left of U: [_, _, _, R, U, Q].
T is between R and P. Since R is in position 4, T must be at 3 and P at 2: [_, P, T, R, U, Q].
The only remaining person is S, who takes the 1st position: [S, P, T, R, U, Q].

The person sitting immediately to the left of P is S.

हिंदी में: P के बाईं ओर S बैठा है।

Q71. Four friends - Himani, Shalaka, Mitali and Brinda are sitting around a square table facing the centre. They all are sitting at the corners of the table. Himani is sitting immediately to the right of Brinda. Mitali is sitting immediately to the left of Shalaka. Himani is second to the left of Shalaka. After some time, Himani leaves her place and Kamini takes her place. Similarly, Tara takes Brinda's place. Who is sitting immediately to the left of Tara now?

चार मित्र – हिमानी, शलाका, मिताली और बृंदा - एक वर्गाकार मेज के चारों ओर केंद्र की तरफ मुँह करके बैठे हैं। वे सभी मेज़ के कोनों पर बैठे हैं। हिमानी बृंदा की ठीक दाहिनी ओर बैठी है। मिताली शलाका की ठीक बाईं ओर बैठी है। हिमानी शलाका के बाईं ओर दूसरे स्थान पर है। कुछ समय बाद हिमानी अपना स्थान छोड़ देती है और कामिनी उसका स्थान लेती है। इसी तरह, तारा बृंदा का स्थान लेती है। तारा के बाईं ओर अब कौन बैठा है?

(a) Mitali / मिताली

(b) Shalaka / शलाका

(c) Brinda / बृंदा

(d) Kamini / कामिनी

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (d) Kamini

Solution: Let's place them at the corners facing the center.

Himani (H) is 2nd to the left of Shalaka (S). Since there are only 4 people, this means H and S are sitting diagonally opposite each other.
H is immediately to the right of Brinda (B). If you visualize a circle/square, clockwise order (right) from B is H.
Mitali (M) is immediately to the left of S. Clockwise order (left) from S is M.

The initial seating arrangement (clockwise starting from Top-Left) is: Brinda (TL), Mitali (TR), Shalaka (BR), Himani (BL).
Now, swap the names:

Himani $\rightarrow$ Kamini (BL)
Brinda $\rightarrow$ Tara (TL)

New arrangement: Tara (TL), Mitali (TR), Shalaka (BR), Kamini (BL).
The person sitting immediately to the left (clockwise) of Tara is Kamini.

हिंदी में: तारा के बाईं ओर अब कामिनी बैठी है।

एक विद्यालय में, कक्षा दोपहर 1:00 बजे प्रारंभ होती है और दोपहर 3:52 बजे तक जारी रहती है। इस दौरान 4 कक्षाएं होती हैं और प्रत्येक कक्षा से पहले एक कमरे से दूसरे कमरे में जाने के लिए 4 मिनट का समय लगता है। एक कक्षा कितने मिनट की होती है?

(a) 39 minutes / 39 मिनट

(b) 40 minutes / 40 मिनट

(c) 41 minutes / 41 मिनट

(d) 42 minutes / 42 मिनट

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (b) 40 minutes

Solution: Total time from 1:00 PM to 3:52 PM = 2 hours and 52 minutes = (2 × 60) + 52 = 172 minutes.

There are 4 periods. Between 4 periods, there are exactly 3 intervals or breaks for room movement.
Time spent moving = 3 intervals × 4 minutes = 12 minutes.

Total time spent actually in classes = Total time - Movement time
Class time = 172 - 12 = 160 minutes.
Since all 4 periods are equal, the length of one period = 160 / 4 = 40 minutes.

हिंदी में: एक कक्षा 40 मिनट की होती है।

(a) 10 years / 10 वर्ष

(b) 8 years / 8 वर्ष

(c) 15 years / 15 वर्ष

(d) 12 years / 12 वर्ष

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (a) 10 years

Solution: Let Rohan's present age be R and his Father's present age be F.
5 years ago: F - 5 = 8(R - 5)
F - 5 = 8R - 40
F = 8R - 35 (Equation 1)

5 years from now: (F + 5) / (R + 5) = 10 / 3
3(F + 5) = 10(R + 5)
3F + 15 = 10R + 50
3F - 10R = 35 (Equation 2)

Substitute Equation 1 into Equation 2:
3(8R - 35) - 10R = 35
24R - 105 - 10R = 35
14R = 140
R = 10

हिंदी में: रोहन की वर्तमान आयु 10 वर्ष है।

वर्तमान में अनु और डिम्पी की आयु का अनुपात 5 : 8 है। 2 वर्ष के बाद, उनकी आयु 2 : 3 के अनुपात में होगी। 2 वर्ष पहले डिम्पी की आयु क्या थी?

(a) 12 years / 12 वर्ष

(b) 10 years / 10 वर्ष

(c) 14 years / 14 वर्ष

(d) 16 years / 16 वर्ष

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (c) 14 years

Solution: Let their present ages be 5x and 8x.
After 2 years, their ages will be (5x + 2) and (8x + 2).
The new ratio is 2/3:
(5x + 2) / (8x + 2) = 2 / 3

Cross-multiply:
3(5x + 2) = 2(8x + 2)
15x + 6 = 16x + 4
x = 2

Dimpy's present age = 8x = 8(2) = 16 years.
Dimpy's age 2 years ago = 16 - 2 = 14 years.

हिंदी में: 2 वर्ष पहले डिम्पी की आयु 14 वर्ष थी।

Q81. Find the missing term in the circular pie chart sequence:
Sequence segments: 20, 36, 68, 132, 260, ? (Reading from bottom-left anti-clockwise based on logical progression)

लुप्त पद ज्ञात कीजिए - (20, 36, 68, 132, 260, ?)

(a) 12

(b) 10

(c) 9

(d) 8

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (a) 12

Solution: Let's find the pattern starting from the smallest known number to the largest. The numbers in the circle are: ?, 20, 36, 68, 132, 260.
Notice the mathematical relationship between adjacent numbers:

(20 - 2) × 2 = 18 × 2 = 36
(36 - 2) × 2 = 34 × 2 = 68
(68 - 2) × 2 = 66 × 2 = 132
(132 - 2) × 2 = 130 × 2 = 260

To find the missing number ? at the beginning of this sequence, we apply the same rule backwards:
(? - 2) × 2 = 20
? - 2 = 10
? = 12

हिंदी में: लुप्त संख्या 12 है।

Q82. If F = C < B = E and D < C = A < E then which of the following options is not correct?

यदि F = C < B = E और D < C = A < E है, तो निम्नलिखित में से कौन सा विकल्प सही नहीं है?

(a) E > D

(b) A < B

(c) A = F

(d) A > E

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (d) A > E

Solution: Let's merge the two inequalities together using the common variables C and E.
From Statement 1: F = C, and C < B, and B = E.
From Statement 2: D < C, and C = A, and A < E.

Combining them logically:
D < F = C = A < B = E

Now evaluate the options:
(a) E > D $\rightarrow$ True (since D is at the far left and E is at the far right).
(b) A < B $\rightarrow$ True (since A = C and C < B).
(c) A = F $\rightarrow$ True (since A = C and C = F).
(d) A > E $\rightarrow$ False (since A is explicitly smaller than E).

हिंदी में: A > E विकल्प गलत है।

Q83. A solid cube is divided into 27 equal parts. If two opposite faces of this cube are painted in different colours and the remaining four faces are left unpainted, then how many cubes will be obtained which have no face painted?

एक ठोस घन को 27 बराबर भागों में विभाजित किया जाता है। यदि इस घन के दो विपरीत फलकों को अलग-अलग रंगों में चित्रित किया जाता है और शेष चार फलकों को बिना रंग के छोड़ दिया जाता है, तो कितने घन प्राप्त होंगे जिनके फलक को चित्रित नहीं किया गया है?

(a) 9

(b) 18

(c) 27

(d) 36

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (a) 9

Solution: A solid cube divided into 27 equal parts means it is a 3 × 3 × 3 grid of smaller cubes.
It has 3 layers: Top, Middle, and Bottom, each containing 9 cubes.
Only two opposite faces of the large cube are painted (e.g., the Top face and the Bottom face).

The Top face consists of 9 smaller cubes. All 9 will have at least one side painted.
The Bottom face consists of 9 smaller cubes. All 9 will have at least one side painted.
The remaining four vertical side-faces of the large cube are unpainted.

The Middle layer (sandwiched between Top and Bottom) contains 9 smaller cubes. Since none of the vertical sides of the large cube are painted, none of the exposed faces on this middle layer get any paint. The central hidden cube obviously gets no paint either.
Therefore, all 9 cubes in the middle layer are completely unpainted.

हिंदी में: 9 ऐसे घन प्राप्त होंगे जिनका कोई भी फलक रंगा हुआ नहीं होगा।

Q84. Complete the code with the correct option from the following alternatives.
BOXER : 64 :: PLAYER : ?

निम्नलिखित विकल्पों में से सही विकल्प के साथ कूट को पूरा करें। BOXER : 64 :: PLAYER : ?

(a) 77

(b) 78

(c) 87

(d) 97

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (a) 77

Solution: The logic is the sum of the alphabetical positions of each letter (A=1, B=2, ..., Z=26).
BOXER:
B(2) + O(15) + X(24) + E(5) + R(18) = 64

PLAYER:
P(16) + L(12) + A(1) + Y(25) + E(5) + R(18)
Sum = 16 + 12 + 1 + 25 + 5 + 18 = 77.

हिंदी में: कूट 77 होगा।

Q85. In India, a woman can marry the brother of her deceased husband and a man can marry the sister of his deceased wife.

भारत में, एक महिला अपने मरे हुए पति के भाई से शादी कर सकती है और एक पुरुष अपनी मरी हुई पत्नी की बहन से शादी कर सकता है।

(a) Always / हमेशा

(b) Sometimes / कभी-कभी

(c) Generally / आम तौर पर

(d) Never / कभी नहीं

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (b) Sometimes

Solution: This question pertains to logical reasoning and cultural/legal aptitude. Marrying the brother of a deceased husband is known as Levirate marriage, and marrying the sister of a deceased wife is known as Sororate marriage.
Under Indian laws (like the Hindu Marriage Act), these are not considered prohibited relationships if custom allows them, and they are practiced in several communities. However, it is not a mandatory or universal practice ("Always" or "Generally" across all demographics), nor is it entirely prohibited ("Never"). It is practiced under specific conditions and cultural contexts, making "Sometimes" the most logically accurate answer.

हिंदी में: यह प्रथा 'कभी-कभी' या कुछ विशिष्ट समुदायों में ही मान्य होती है।

Q86. Study the given diagram carefully and answer the following question. The numbers given in different sections represent the number of persons applying for different posts. What is the total number of persons applying for more than one post?

दिए गए आरेख का ध्यानपूर्वक अध्ययन करें और निम्नलिखित प्रश्न का उत्तर दें। विभिन्न अनुभागों में दी गई संख्याएँ विभिन्न पदों के लिए आवेदन करने वाले व्यक्तियों की संख्या को दर्शाती हैं। एक से अधिक पदों के लिए आवेदन करने वाले व्यक्तियों की कुल संख्या कितनी है?

(Note: The Venn diagram consists of three intersecting circles: Teacher, Engineer, and Writer. The intersecting regions have the values 4, 6, 8, and the center intersection for all three is 3.)

(a) 21 / 21

(b) 113 / 113

(c) 18 / 18

(d) 15 / 15

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (a) 21

Solution: The persons applying for "more than one post" are those located in the overlapping regions of the Venn diagram.
We simply need to add the numbers in all the intersections:

Teacher & Engineer only = 4
Teacher & Writer only = 6
Engineer & Writer only = 8
All three posts = 3

Total = 4 + 6 + 8 + 3 = 21.

हिंदी में: एक से अधिक पदों के लिए आवेदन करने वाले कुल 21 व्यक्ति हैं।

Q87. Select the option which cannot be concluded from the given statements.

Statements: (1) All slippers are shoes.
(2) Some heels are slippers.
(3) All canvas are heels.
(4) All heels are shoes.

Conclusions: (a) Some heels are shoes.
(b) Some heels are canvas.
(c) All slippers are heels.
(d) Some shoes are canvas.

वह विकल्प चुनें जिसका निष्कर्ष दिए गए कथनों से नहीं निकाला जा सकता है।
कथनः (1) सभी चप्पल जूते हैं। (2) कुछ हील्स चप्पल हैं। (3) सभी कैनवास हील्स हैं। (4) सभी हील्स जूते हैं।
निष्कर्षः (a) कुछ हील्स जूते हैं।
(b) कुछ हील्स कैनवास हैं।
(c) सभी चप्पल हील्स हैं।
(d) कुछ जूते कैनवास हैं।

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (c) All slippers are heels.

Solution: Let's evaluate the conclusions based on the statements:

(a) Some heels are shoes: True. Statement 4 says "All heels are shoes", which guarantees that some heels are definitely shoes.
(b) Some heels are canvas: True. Statement 3 says "All canvas are heels", meaning the canvas circle is inside the heels circle. Thus, some heels are canvas.
(c) All slippers are heels: False (Cannot be concluded). Statement 2 says "Some heels are slippers". This only proves an intersection between them, not that all slippers are inside the heels category.
(d) Some shoes are canvas: True. "All canvas are heels" and "All heels are shoes" means "All canvas are shoes". Therefore, some shoes are indeed canvas.

हिंदी में: कथन "सभी चप्पल हील्स हैं" का निश्चित निष्कर्ष नहीं निकाला जा सकता है।

Q88. In the English alphabet, which letter will be in the middle of the 7th letter from the left and the 10th letter from the right?

अंग्रेजी वर्णमाला में, बाईं ओर से 7वें अक्षर और दाई ओर से 10वें अक्षर के बीच कौन सा अक्षर होगा?

(a) L

(b) M

(c) N

(d) O

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (a) L

Solution: 1. The 7th letter from the left is G (Position 7).

The 10th letter from the right can be found by subtracting from 27: Position from left = 27 - 10 = 17th letter, which is Q.

To find the middle letter, average their positions from the left:
Middle Position = (7 + 17) / 2 = 24 / 2 = 12.
The 12th letter in the alphabet is L.

हिंदी में: बीच का अक्षर L होगा।

Q89. Using the 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th letters of the word HOCKEY (counting from left to right), how many meaningful English words can be formed if each letter is used only once in each word?

HOCKEY शब्द के दूसरे, चौथे, पाँचवें और छठे अक्षर का उपयोग करके (बाएँ से दाएँ गिनते हुए), कितने अर्थपूर्ण अंग्रेजी शब्द बनाए जा सकते हैं, अगर प्रत्येक शब्द में प्रत्येक अक्षर का उपयोग केवल एक बार किया जाए?

(a) Three / तीन

(b) Zero / शून्य

(c) Two / दो

(d) One / एक

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (d) One

Solution: The given word is H(1) O(2) C(3) K(4) E(5) Y(6).
The selected letters are: O, K, E, Y.
By rearranging these letters, the only meaningful English word that can be formed is YOKE.
Therefore, exactly one word can be formed.

हिंदी में: केवल एक अर्थपूर्ण शब्द (YOKE) बनाया जा सकता है।

Q90. In the following question, select the related letter-pair from the given options.
BHL : YEI :: ? : ?

निम्नलिखित प्रश्न में, दिए गए विकल्पों में से संबंधित अक्षर-युग्म का चयन करें। BHL : YEI :: ? : ?

(a) ABC : DQR

(b) OLM : NOP

(c) AMG : XJD

(d) LOB : WZA

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (c) AMG : XJD

Solution: Look at the alphabetical shift from the first group to the second:
BHL $\rightarrow$ YEI

B(2) - 3 = Y(25) (Since 2 - 3 = -1, which wraps around the alphabet to 25)
H(8) - 3 = E(5)
L(12) - 3 = I(9) The rule is -3 for every letter.

Let's test the options for the same "-3" rule:

(a) A - 3 = X (Incorrect, option shows D)
(b) O - 3 = L (Incorrect, option shows N)
(c) AMG $\rightarrow$ XJD
- A(1) - 3 = X(24)
- M(13) - 3 = J(10)
- G(7) - 3 = D(4) This matches perfectly!

हिंदी में: सही युग्म AMG : XJD है।

Q91. In a certain language, POPULAR is coded as QPQVMBS, then which word will be coded as GBNPVT?

एक निश्चित भाषा में, POPULAR को QPQVMBS के रूप में कूटबद्ध किया जाता है, तो निम्नलिखित में से किस शब्द को GBNPVT के रूप में कूटबद्ध किया जाएगा?

(a) FARMER

(b) FAMOUS

(c) FRAMES

(d) FARMES

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (b) FAMOUS

Solution: Decode the pattern in POPULAR:
P(+1)=Q, O(+1)=P, P(+1)=Q, U(+1)=V, L(+1)=M, A(+1)=B, R(+1)=S.
The rule is +1 for each letter.

The question asks which word will be coded as GBNPVT (meaning GBNPVT is the output, we need the input). We must subtract 1 from each letter:
G - 1 = F
B - 1 = A
N - 1 = M
P - 1 = O
V - 1 = U
T - 1 = S

The original word is FAMOUS.

हिंदी में: मूल शब्द FAMOUS है।

Q92. What will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following series?
2, 6, 4, 9, 8, 13, 16, 18, 32, ?

निम्नलिखित श्रृंखला में प्रश्न चिह्न (?) के स्थान पर क्या आएगा? 2, 6, 4, 9, 8, 13, 16, 18, 32, ?

(a) 24

(b) 26

(c) 22

(d) 28

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (a) 24

Solution: This is an alternating series consisting of two separate patterns intertwined.

Series 1 (odd positions): 2, 4, 8, 16, 32... (Each number is multiplied by 2).
Series 2 (even positions): 6, 9, 13, 18, ? Let's find the differences in Series 2:
9 - 6 = +3
13 - 9 = +4
18 - 13 = +5 The next difference should be +6. 18 + 6 = 24.

हिंदी में: प्रश्न चिह्न के स्थान पर 24 आएगा।

Q93. Ramesh is the father of Manideep. Ramesh has only two children. Manideep is the brother of Niharika. Niharika is the daughter of Kavita. Ananya is the granddaughter of Kavita. Sujit is the father of Ananya. Then how is Sujit related to Manideep?

रमेश मणिदीप के पिता हैं। रमेश के केवल दो बच्चे हैं। मणिदीप निहारिका का भाई है। निहारिका कविता की पुत्री है। अनन्या कविता की पोती हैं। सुजीत अनन्या के पिता हैं। तब सुजीत का मणिदीप से क्या संबंध है?

(a) Brother / भाई

(b) Brother-in-law / साला/बहनोई

(c) Son / पुत्र

(d) Son-in-law / दामाद

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (b) Brother-in-law

Solution: 1. Ramesh and Kavita are husband and wife. They have exactly two children: Manideep (Son) and Niharika (Daughter).

Ananya is Kavita's granddaughter, and Sujit is Ananya's father.
Since Ramesh/Kavita have only two children, and Sujit is the father of their granddaughter, Sujit must be married to their daughter Niharika (Sujit cannot be Manideep because Sujit is explicitly named as a separate person/father).
Therefore, Sujit is Niharika's husband.
Since Manideep is Niharika's brother, Sujit is Manideep's Brother-in-law.

हिंदी में: सुजीत मणिदीप का साला/बहनोई है।

Q94. Six colleagues Peter, Quinn, Rachel, Sam, Tina and Ulysses are sitting in a circle facing outward. Peter is sitting immediately to the right of Quinn. Tina is not sitting next to Peter. Sam, who is sitting immediately to the left of Quinn, is also sitting immediately to the right of Ulysses. Who is sitting immediately to the right of Tina?

छह सहकर्मी पीटर, क्विन, रेचल, सैम, टीना और यूलिसिस एक घेरे में बैठे हैं, जिनका मुख बाहर की ओर है। पीटर क्विन की ठीक दाहिनी ओर बैठा है। टीना पीटर के बगल में नहीं बैठी है। सैम, जो क्विन के ठीक बाईं ओर बैठा है, भी यूलिसिस के ठीक दाई ओर बैठा है। टीना की दाहिनी ओर कौन बैठा है?

(a) Quinn / क्विन

(b) Ulysses / यूलिसिस

(c) Peter / पीटर

(d) Rachel / रेचल

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (b) Ulysses

Solution: Crucial detail: They are facing OUTWARD. This means "Left" is clockwise and "Right" is anti-clockwise.

Peter (P) is immediately right (anti-clockwise) of Quinn (Q): Sequence is Q $\rightarrow$ P.
Sam (S) is immediately left (clockwise) of Q: Sequence is S $\rightarrow$ Q $\rightarrow$ P.
S is immediately right (anti-clockwise) of Ulysses (U): Sequence is U $\rightarrow$ S $\rightarrow$ Q $\rightarrow$ P.
We have two spots left for Tina (T) and Rachel (R) to complete the circle.
Tina is not next to Peter. So T must sit next to U. The full anti-clockwise circle is: U $\rightarrow$ S $\rightarrow$ Q $\rightarrow$ P $\rightarrow$ R $\rightarrow$ T $\rightarrow$ (back to U).

The person sitting immediately to the right (anti-clockwise) of Tina (T) is Ulysses (U).

हिंदी में: टीना के ठीक दाईं ओर यूलिसिस बैठा है।

Q95. Five friends A, B, C, D and E work as a doctor, lawyer, businessman, engineer and cook and live in Delhi, Mumbai, Goa, Panaji and Punjab (not necessarily in the same order). No two friends have the same profession and no two live in the same place. A works as a cook but does not live in Goa or Panaji. B and D live in Delhi and Mumbai respectively. C works as a lawyer. The doctor lives in Goa. Which of the following combinations is definitely true?

पांच मित्र A, B, C, D और E डॉक्टर, वकील, व्यवसायी, इंजीनियर और रसोइया के रूप में कार्य करते हैं और दिल्ली, मुंबई, गोवा, पणजी और पंजाब में रहते हैं (आवश्यक नहीं कि इसी ही क्रम में हों)। किसी भी दो मित्रों का पेशा एक नहीं होता और न ही कोई दो मित्र एक ही स्थान पर रहते हैं। A एक रसोइया का कार्य करता है लेकिन गोवा या पणजी में नहीं रहता है। B और D क्रमशः दिल्ली और मुंबई में रहते हैं। C एक वकील के रूप में कार्य करता है। डॉक्टर गोवा में रहता हैं। निम्नलिखित में से कौन सा संयोजन निश्चित रूप से सही है?

(a) B - Delhi - Businessman / B- दिल्ली – व्यवसायी

(b) D - Mumbai - Engineer / D - मुंबई - इंजीनियर

(c) A - Panaji - Cook / A - पणजी - रसोइया

(d) C - Panaji - Lawyer / C - पणजी - वकील

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (d) C - Panaji - Lawyer

Solution: Let's assign variables based on the clues:

A = Cook. Not Goa, Not Panaji. Since Delhi and Mumbai belong to B and D, A must live in Punjab.
B = Delhi.
D = Mumbai.
C = Lawyer.
Doctor = Goa.

Cities left for C and E are Goa and Panaji.
Since C is the Lawyer, C cannot be the Doctor. Thus, C cannot live in Goa. Therefore, C lives in Panaji.
This leaves E to live in Goa, making E the Doctor.
We don't have enough information to assign Businessman/Engineer definitively to B or D.

Looking at the options, only (d) C - Panaji - Lawyer is 100% definitively true.

हिंदी में: C - पणजी - वकील संयोजन निश्चित रूप से सही है।

Q96. If 18 January 2013 was Friday, then what day of the week was 19 December 2021?

अगर 18 जनवरी 2013 को शुक्रवार था, तो 19 दिसंबर 2021 को सप्ताह का कौन सा दिन था?

(a) Sunday / रविवार

(b) Wednesday / बुधवार

(c) Saturday / शनिवार

(d) Thursday / गुरुवार

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (a) Sunday

Solution: First, find the day for 18 Jan 2021 by counting odd days year-by-year from 2013:

2013, 2014, 2015 = 1 odd day each.
2016 = 2 odd days (Leap year).
2017, 2018, 2019 = 1 odd day each.
2020 = 2 odd days (Leap year). Total odd days = 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 10 odd days = 3 odd days (after removing 7). Friday + 3 days = Monday (18 Jan 2021).

Now count odd days from 18 Jan 2021 to 19 Dec 2021:

Jan: 13 days left (6 odd)
Feb: 28 days (0 odd)
Mar: 31 days (3 odd)
Apr: 30 days (2 odd)
May: 31 days (3 odd)
Jun: 30 days (2 odd)
Jul: 31 days (3 odd)
Aug: 31 days (3 odd)
Sep: 30 days (2 odd)
Oct: 31 days (3 odd)
Nov: 30 days (2 odd)
Dec: 19 days (5 odd) Total = 6+0+3+2+3+2+3+3+2+3+2+5 = 34 days. 34 ÷ 7 leaves a remainder of 6 odd days.

Monday + 6 days = Sunday.

हिंदी में: 19 दिसंबर 2021 को रविवार था।

Q97. A and B are brothers. M is the father of A and brother of S. F is sister of B and K is mother of S. What is the relationship between M and K?

A और B भाई हैं। M, A का पिता है और S का भाई है। F, B की बहन है और K, S की माँ है। M और K के बीच क्या संबंध है?

(a) Sister and Brother / बहन और भाई

(b) Grandson and Grandmother / पोता और दादी

(c) Nephew and Aunt / भतीजा और चाची

(d) Son and Mother / पुत्र और माँ

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (d) Son and Mother

Solution: 1. M is the brother of S. This means M and S are siblings.

K is the mother of S.
Since M and S are siblings, the mother of S is also the mother of M.
Therefore, K is the mother of M, making the relationship between M and K Son and Mother.

हिंदी में: M और K के बीच पुत्र और माँ का संबंध है।

Q98. If the first 4 letters of the English alphabet are written in reverse order, then the next 5 letters also in reverse order, then the next 6 letters also in reverse order, then the next 7 letters also in reverse order, and the remaining letters also in reverse order, then which letter will be the 7th to the left of the 8th letter from the right?

यदि अंग्रेजी वर्णमाला के पहले 4 अक्षरों को विपरीत क्रम में लिखा जाता है, और अगले 5 अक्षर भी विपरीत क्रम में, फिर अगले 6 अक्षर भी विपरीत क्रम में, फिर अगले 7 अक्षर भी विपरीत क्रम में, और शेष अक्षर भी विपरीत क्रम में लिखे जाते है, तो कौन सा अक्षर दाई ओर से 8वें अक्षर के बाईं ओर 7वां होगा?

(a) O

(b) L

(c) N

(d) M

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (d) M

Solution: Target Position: "7th to the left of 8th from right".
Add the directions: 8 + 7 = 15th from the right.
Convert to left-side position: (26 - 15 + 1) = 12th from the left.

Now map out the reversed blocks:

Block 1 (4 letters, positions 1-4): D, C, B, A
Block 2 (5 letters, positions 5-9): I, H, G, F, E
Block 3 (6 letters, positions 10-15): O, N, M, L, K, J

We need the 12th letter from the left. This falls into Block 3.
The original letters for Block 3 are J(10), K(11), L(12), M(13), N(14), O(15).
Written in reverse, the sequence from position 10 to 15 is: O, N, M, L, K, J.
Position 10 is O, Position 11 is N, and Position 12 is M.

हिंदी में: वह अक्षर M होगा।

Q99. In which option are the following words given in the order in which they appear in the English dictionary?

Pilot

निम्नलिखित में से किस विकल्प में नीचे दिए गए शब्द उसी क्रम में दिए गए हैं जिस क्रम में वे अंग्रेज़ी शब्दकोश में आते हैं?

(a) 5, 4, 1, 2, 3

(b) 5, 2, 3, 1, 4

(c) 4, 5, 1, 3, 2

(d) 4, 3, 1, 2, 5

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (c) 4, 5, 1, 3, 2

Solution: All words begin with "Pi". Look at the 3rd letter to begin sorting:
l, v, p, g, g.
Alphabetically, 'g' comes first. So we compare #4 (Pigeon) and #5 (Pigment).
'e' comes before 'm', so 4 is first, followed by 5.
Next in the alphabet is 'l', so 1 (Pilot) is third.
Next is 'p', so 3 (Pipette) is fourth.
Finally, 'v', making 2 (Pivot) last.

The correct dictionary order is 4, 5, 1, 3, 2.

हिंदी में: सही क्रम 4, 5, 1, 3, 2 है।

Q100. Find the missing term.
(Note: Visual depicts a diamond split into 4 quadrants. First diamond: Top-Left=187, Top-Right=11, Bottom-Left=17, Bottom-Right=215. Second diamond: Top-Left=182, Top-Right=14, Bottom-Left=?, Bottom-Right=209)

लुप्त पद ज्ञात कीजिए -

(a) 12

(b) 16

(c) 15

(d) 13

✅ View Answer & Solution
Answer: (d) 13

Solution: Analyze the numbers in the first diamond:

Top-Left (187) ÷ Top-Right (11) = 17 (Bottom-Left)
Top-Left (187) + Top-Right (11) + Bottom-Left (17) = 215 (Bottom-Right)

Apply this exact logic to the second diamond:

Top-Left (182) ÷ Top-Right (14) = 13 (Bottom-Left = ?)
Let's verify the bottom-right sum: 182 + 14 + 13 = 209. This matches the visual!

The missing term is 13.

हिंदी में: लुप्त पद 13 है।
