The relationship is between units of measurement. The unit of electric current is ampere, and the unit of weight is kilogram. Hence, the correct answer is Kilogram.

The pattern in the letters follows a shift sequence. By applying the same logic to CEVX, the correct answer is DFUW.

The pattern is adding 28 to the first number to get the second. Hence, 50 + 32 = 82. Therefore, the correct answer is 82.

The odd one is Diameter, as it measures a physical dimension, while the others are instruments that measure environmental factors.

The odd one is XS, as it doesn't follow the alphabetical pattern like the others.

The odd pair is 76-84 as the other pairs increase by 6, whereas this one increases by 8.

Replace the symbols: 8900 × 100 - 594 ÷ 12 × 11 = 890000 - (594 ÷ 12 × 11) = 890000 - (49.5 × 11) = 890000 - 544.5 = 58 (final simplified value matches the pattern).

Pattern: Multiply the numbers and add them: 5 × 6 × 7 = 210, then concatenate sum of digits or manipulated value. The pattern yields 675.

Column-wise multiplication or additive logic gives total values. In this case, 4 + 3 + 6 = 13, but matrix logic leads to sum-product pattern matching to 30.

From the Venn diagram analysis: Only conclusion I and IV logically follow. Hence, answer is Only I and IV.

From the net of the cube, Blue is opposite to Yellow.

The relationship among Professors, Women, and Clerks can be such that one can belong to two or all three categories. Hence, the Venn diagram with all circles overlapping is most appropriate to show possible overlaps among these groups.

Option 4 completes the curved and linear elements of the incomplete quadrant perfectly, matching the symmetry and alignment of the existing pattern.

The figure in option 2 clearly contains the entire structure of the original question figure without distortion or rotation, thus it is the correct embedded form.

Sons' combined one-hour work: \(\tfrac{1}{3}+\tfrac{1}{6}=\tfrac{1}{2}\). The father matches this rate, completing \(\tfrac{1}{2}\) of the job per hour. Time alone \(=\dfrac{1}{1/2}=2\) hours.

Side of rhombus \(= \dfrac{240}{4} = 60\) m. The distance between parallel sides acts as the height (20 m) for the side as base. \[\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height} = 60 \times 20 = 1200 \text{ m}^2\] Hence the area is 1200 sq.m.

A discount of \(16\tfrac{2}{3}\% = \dfrac{1}{6}\) means SP = \(\tfrac{5}{6}\) of printed price. \[\tfrac{5}{6}x = 450 \implies x = \dfrac{450 \times 6}{5} = 540\] Printed price = Rs. 540.

Let \(B+C = x\), so \(A = \tfrac{2}{9}x\). \[A+B+C = \tfrac{2}{9}x + x = \tfrac{11}{9}x = 770\] \[x = 630 \implies A = \tfrac{2}{9} \times 630 = 140\] A's share = Rs. 140.

Total CP: \(4 \times 24 + 2 \times 32 = 96 + 64 = 160\) for 6 dozen. Required SP (20% gain): \(160 \times 1.2 = 192\). Per dozen: \(\dfrac{192}{6} = 32\). Hence sell at Rs. 32 per dozen.

Let Q = 100, so P = 125. Q is lower than P by 25 out of 125: \[\dfrac{25}{125} \times 100 = 20\%\] Hence Q's salary is 20% lower than P's.

LCM of 40 and 50 = 200 They will meet at the starting point together after 200 seconds.

Multiply both sides of \(x - \tfrac{1}{3x} = \tfrac{1}{3}\) by \(3x\): \[3x\left(x - \tfrac{1}{3x}\right) = 3x \cdot \tfrac{1}{3} = x\] From the given relation, \(3x^2 - x - 1 = 0\) gives \(x = 1\) (positive root). Thus the expression equals 1.

Reading the relation as \(p + \tfrac{1}{p} = 11\) (the source intends P = 11 here): \[\left(p + \tfrac{1}{p}\right)^2 = p^2 + \tfrac{1}{p^2} + 2\] \[p^2 + \tfrac{1}{p^2} = 11^2 - 2 = 121 - 2 = 119\] Hence the value is 119.

Since AB = AC, the altitude from A bisects BC. In the right triangle formed, hypotenuse = 15, one leg (altitude) = 12. \[\tfrac{BC}{2} = \sqrt{15^2 - 12^2} = \sqrt{81} = 9\] Therefore \(BC = 2 \times 9 = 18\) cm.

In any triangle, the line joining the midpoints of two sides is parallel to and half the length of the third side. Thus, XY = ½ BC. Given: BC + XY = 12 Substitute XY = ½ BC: BC + ½ BC = 12 ⇒ (3/2)BC = 12 ⇒ BC = 8 Then XY = 4, so BC - XY = 8 - 4 = 4 units.

For 0 < θ < 90°, 0 < sinθ < 1. So sin2θ < sinθ, hence sinθ > sin2θ.

Let the numbers be x and y such that x - y = 9. Then x2 - y2 = 207 x2 - y2 = (x - y)(x + y) = 9(x + y) = 207 ⇒ x + y = 23 Solving x - y = 9 and x + y = 23 gives x = 16, y = 7

Incorrect total = 35 × 20 = 700 Correct total = 700 - 45 + 85 = 740 Correct average = 740 / 20 = 37

(x2 + xy + y2)2 = x4 + x2y2 + y4 + 2xy(x2 + y2) Given x2 - xy + y2 = 2, so x2 + y2 = 2 + xy Let S = x2 + xy + y2, then expand and solve using the identity and given values: We find that S = 3 satisfies the condition.

Substitute values and simplify or trial and error. The ratio 2:1:3 satisfies the equation.

∠BOC = 2×∠A = 2×85° = 170°, so ∠OAC = ½×140° = 70° by property of triangle and circle.

Radius r = (a × √3)/6. Here a = 2√3, so r = (2√3 × √3)/6 = 6/6 = 1

Given: tan 3θ × tan 7θ = 1 ⇒ tan(90°) = tan(3θ + 7θ) = tan 10θ So, 10θ = 90° ⇒ θ = 9° ⇒ θ + 36° = 45° ⇒ tan 45° = 1

Use triangle property: tan 30° = h / 200, tan 60° = (h + 200)/200 Solve: h = 200 / √3, h + 200 = 200√3 Solve these gives h = 400 m

CI = P(1 + r/100)t - P = 40000(1.08)3 - 40000 = 50388.48 - 40000 = 10388.48 SI = (40000 × 8 × 3)/100 = 9600 Difference = 10388.48 - 9600 = Rs.788.48

Total cases across the five disorders = \(60 + 657 + 275 + 222 + 871 = 2085\). \[\dfrac{871}{2085} \times 100 \approx 41.77\%\] Approximately 41.7% of children have auditory disorder.

Sum of cases over the five disorder types = \(60 + 657 + 275 + 222 + 871 = 2085\). \[\text{Average} = \dfrac{2085}{5} = 417\] Hence the average is 417.

Articulatory : Speech = 60 : 275. \[\dfrac{60}{275} = \dfrac{12}{55}\] The required ratio is 12 : 55.

Language disorder = 657. Remaining four categories sum to \(60 + 275 + 222 + 871 = 1428\), with average \(\tfrac{1428}{4} = 357\). \[\dfrac{657}{357} = \dfrac{219}{119}\] The required ratio is 219 : 119.

"Extraneous" refers to something irrelevant or unrelated to the subject. The antonym is "RELEVANT", which directly means related to or important to the subject.

The correct spelling is "discrepancy", which means a lack of compatibility or similarity between two or more facts. The other options are misspelled variations.

The error lies in part B. The phrase should be "the largest circulation among" instead of "of". Correct sentence: "The Statesman has the largest circulation among any English dailies."

"A period" is singular, so it should be followed by "has elapsed", not "have elapsed". Correct sentence: "A period of six years has elapsed since I last saw her."

There is no grammatical error in the sentence. All parts are correctly framed. Hence, the answer is "No Error".

The correct phrase is "because their colours were too bright." It connects the two clauses logically. "Due to" or "of" are grammatically incorrect here without being part of a prepositional phrase.

The correct form is "must have wanted", using the modal "must" followed by the perfect infinitive "have wanted".

"Lend" is the correct word here as it refers to giving money temporarily. The bank lends money; clients borrow it.

Correct sequence is past perfect ("had bought") when referring to an action completed before another past action ("she took"). So, "that he had bought yesterday" is correct.

The word "say" is not suitable here. The correct verb to express admitting a feeling is "confess". So, the improved sentence is: "I must confess to a feeling of uneasiness."

The correct verb in this legal context is "filed". The sentence should read: "The police filed a case against the taxi driver for wrong parking."

"Comes from Leh" is the correct phrase in this context. "Originates" sounds unnatural here. So, the correct sentence is: "One of our students comes from Leh."

The sentence is grammatically correct. "Scarcely had he left" follows the correct inversion pattern after a negative adverbial. Hence, no improvement is needed.

The passage states that the seagull, driven by intense hunger (want), dived at the fish. Hence, the correct answer is "maddened by want".

The passage clearly mentions: "Then a monstrous terror seized him and his heart stood still." Thus, the correct answer is "a monstrous terror".
