Paper & answer key PDFSelect the related word/letters/number from the given alternatives. DHLP : WSOK :: FJNR : ?
The actual pattern is that each letter in DHLP maps to its complement in the alphabet (positions sum to 27): D(4)+W(23)=27, H(8)+S(19)=27, L(12)+O(15)=27, P(16)+K(11)=27. Applying the same: F(6)→U(21), J(10)→Q(17), N(14)→M(13), R(18)→I(9). Hence UQMI.
Paper & answer key PDFSelect the related word/letters/number from the given alternatives. 2 : 10 :: 26 : ?
The underlying pattern is n²+1 for odd n: 1²+1=2, 3²+1=10, 5²+1=26, 7²+1=50. So 26 corresponds to n=5 in the sequence, and the paired term is 7²+1=50. Hence the answer is 50.
Paper & answer key PDFFind the odd word/letters/number pair from the given alternatives.
In JML, PSR, and VYX the pattern is: 1st letter +3 = 2nd letter, 2nd letter -1 = 3rd letter (e.g., J+3=M, M-1=L; P+3=S, S-1=R; V+3=Y, Y-1=X). In EHJ: E+3=H but H+2=J (not -1), so EHJ breaks the pattern. Hence EHJ is the odd one out.
Paper & answer key PDFFind the odd word/letters/number pair from the given alternatives.
Fawn (baby deer) and Cub (baby bear/lion/etc.) are species-specific names for young animals. Tomcat is an adult male cat — not an offspring. Baby is a generic, non-species-specific term.

Paper & answer key PDFIf Jhansi is 12 ahead in rank of Prabha, who ranks 15th from last, then how many students are there in the class if Jhansi ranks 4th in order of merit?
Prabha ranks 15th from the last, so her position from the top = Total students − 15 + 1 = Total − 14. Jhansi is 12 ranks ahead of Prabha, so: Jhansi's rank = (Total − 14) − 12 = Total − 26 But Jhansi's actual rank is 4 (from the top), so: Total − 26 = 4 → Total = 30. Hence, the total number of students is 30.

Paper & answer key PDFIn ∆ABC, DE || BC such that AD/BD = 3/5. If AC = 5.6 cm, then AE is equal to
By Basic Proportionality Theorem, AD/BD = AE/EC = 3/5. Let AE = 3x and EC = 5x. Then AC = AE + EC = 3x + 5x = 8x. Given AC = 5.6 cm, so 8x = 5.6, which gives x = 0.7. Therefore, AE = 3x = 3(0.7) = 2.1 cm.

Paper & answer key PDFA Bookseller allowed 15% discount on the books sold. Sunil purchased books worth Rs.1500. How much will he have to pay to the Bookseller?
The cost of books is Rs.1500, and a 15% discount is allowed. The discount is: Discount = 15% of 1500 = 0.15 × 1500 = 225. The amount Sunil has to pay = 1500 − 225 = Rs.1275. Hence, the correct answer is Rs.1275.
Paper & answer key PDFIf the ratio between the profit and sale price of an article is 1:5, then the ratio between the sale price and the cost price of that article is:
The profit is the difference between the sale price and the cost price. Given the ratio of profit to sale price is 1:5, we have: Profit = Sale price − Cost price = 1x, Sale price = 5x. So, Cost price = Sale price − Profit = 5x − x = 4x. The ratio of sale price to cost price = 5x:4x = 5:4. Hence, the correct answer is 5:4.

Paper & answer key PDFA car covers a certain distance in 25 hrs. If it reduces the speed by 1/5th, the car covers 200 km less in that time. The speed of the car is:
Let the original speed of the car be x km/hr. The distance covered by the car in 25 hours is 25x. After reducing the speed by 1/5th, the new speed becomes (4/5)x km/hr. The distance covered now is 25 × (4/5)x = 20x. The difference in distance = 25x − 20x = 200 km. So, x = 200 / 5 = 40 km/hr. Hence, the correct answer is 40 km/hr.

Paper & answer key PDF\[\frac{1}{\sqrt{a}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{b}} = 0, \text{ then the value of } \frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} \text{ is:}\]
If 1/√a − 1 / √b = 0, then 1 / √a = 1 / √b. Hence, √a = √b, or a = b. So, 1/a + 1/b = 1/a + 1/a = 2 / a. The value of 1/a + 1/b = 2 / √ab.
Paper & answer key PDFIf x2 + y2 + z2 = 14 and xy + yz + zx = 11, then the value of (x + y + z)2 is:

Paper & answer key PDFIf √2 tan 2θ = √6 and 0° < θ < 45°, then the value of sin θ + √3 cos θ − 2tan2θ is:
From √2 tan 2θ = √6, we can solve for tan 2θ = √3. Using this, we find the values of sin θ and cos θ using standard trigonometric identities. Substituting these in the expression, we get: sin θ + √3 cos θ − 2tan2θ = 4 / 3. Hence, the correct answer is 4/3.
Paper & answer key PDFA positive number when decreased by 4, is equal to 21 times the reciprocal of this number. The number is:
Let the number be x. According to the question, x - 4 = 21 * (1/x) x - 4 = 21/x x(x - 4) = 21 x² - 4x - 21 = 0 x² - 7x + 3x - 21 = 0 x(x - 7) + 3(x - 7) = 0 (x - 7)(x + 3) = 0 x = 7 or x = -3 Since the number is positive, x = 7.
Paper & answer key PDFIf \(\tan \alpha = 2\), then the value of \(\frac{\sin \alpha}{\sin^3 \alpha + \cos^3 \alpha}\) is
We know that tan α = 2, so sin α / cos α = 2. Therefore, sin α = 2cos α. Now, we calculate the value of sin3 α + cos3 α using the identity: sin3 α + cos3 α = (sin α + cos α)(sin2 α − sin α cos α + cos2 α). By substituting values and simplifying, we get the final result of 10 / 9.

Paper & answer key PDFIn a triangle PQR, PQ = PR and ∠Q is twice that of ∠P. Then ∠Q is equal to:
Since PQ = PR, triangle PQR is isosceles with the two equal sides meeting at P. The base angles are ∠Q and ∠R, so ∠Q = ∠R. Let ∠P = x. Then ∠Q = 2x and ∠R = ∠Q = 2x. Sum of angles: x + 2x + 2x = 180° → 5x = 180° → x = 36°. Hence, ∠Q = 2x = 72°.
Paper & answer key PDFIf the length of a chord of a circle is 16 cm and is at a distance of 15 cm from the centre of the circle, then the radius of the circle (in cm) is:
Let the radius of the circle be r. The distance from the centre to the chord is 15 cm, and the length of the chord is 16 cm. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the radius: r2 = (16 / 2)2 + 152 = 82 + 152 = 64 + 225 = 289. r = √289 = 17 cm. Hence, the correct answer is 17.
Paper & answer key PDFOn 24th May 2008, the maximum temperature of Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai were recorded as 35°C, 33°C and 34°C respectively. What was the maximum temperature of Chennai so that the average maximum temperature of those cities would be 35°C?
The average temperature of all 4 cities should be 35°C. So, the total temperature = 35 × 4 = 140°C. The sum of temperatures of Delhi, Kolkata, and Mumbai = 35 + 33 + 34 = 102°C. So, the temperature of Chennai = 140 − 102 = 38°C. Hence, the correct answer is 38°C.
Paper & answer key PDFThe diameter of a sphere is twice the diameter of another sphere. The curved surface area of the first and the volume of the second are numerically equal. The numerical value of the radius of the first sphere is:
Let the radius of the first sphere be r and the radius of the second sphere be r/2. The curved surface area of the first sphere = 4πr2 The volume of the second sphere = (4/3)π(r/2)3 = (πr3) / 6. Equating these gives 4πr2 = (πr3) / 6, solving which gives r = 24. Hence, the correct answer is 24.
