Q3121.

Choose the correct passive voice transformation of the sentence: The archaeologists claimed to have discovered an ancient city beneath the desert sands.

AAn ancient city was claimed to have been discovered by the archaeologists beneath the desert sands.
BIt was claimed by the archaeologists that an ancient city was discovered beneath the desert sands.
CThe archaeologists claimed that an ancient city had been discovered beneath the desert by them.
DAn ancient city claimed to be discovered by the archaeologists beneath the desert sands.

Show answer

Concept: claim/say + to have + V3: both verbs turn passive.

Object 'an ancient city' becomes the subject.
claimed → was claimed; to have discovered → to have been discovered.
(B) loses the perfect infinitive, (C) stays active, (D) has no 'was'.

Trick: 'to have + V3' in active = 'to have been + V3' in passive.

Answer: (A) An ancient city was claimed to have been discovered by the archaeologists beneath the desert sands.

अवधारणा: claim/say + to have + V3 वाले वाक्य में दोनों क्रियाएँ passive बनती हैं।

हल:

कर्म 'an ancient city' कर्ता बनेगा।
claimed → was claimed; to have discovered → to have been discovered।
(B) में perfect infinitive गायब, (C) active ही है, (D) में 'was' नहीं है।

ट्रिक: Active में 'to have + V3' = passive में 'to have been + V3'।

उत्तर: (A) An ancient city was claimed to have been discovered by the archaeologists beneath the desert sands.

Q3122.

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in direct voice. He asked her if she had visited the museum that had opened the previous month, and whether she felt it was larger than the gallery they had been visiting for years.

A"Have you visited the museum that opened last month, and whether you felt it is larger than the gallery they had been visiting for years?" he asked her.
B"Had you visited the museum that opened the previous month, and did you feel it was larger than the gallery we had been visiting for years?" he asked her.
C"Did you visit the museum that had opened last month, and do you feel it was larger than the gallery we have been visiting for years?' he asked her.
D"Have you visited the museum that opened last month, and do you feel it is larger than the gallery we have been visiting for years?' he asked her.

Show answer

Concept: Reverse the back-shift of tense, pronouns and time words.

had visited → have you visited; had opened → opened; previous month → last month.
felt → do you feel; was → is; had been visiting → have been visiting; they → we.
Only option (D) makes all the changes.

Trick: Look for 'last month' + 'we' + present tense together – that removes A, B, C fast.

Answer: (D) "Have you visited the museum that opened last month, and do you feel it is larger than the gallery we have been visiting for years?' he asked her.

अवधारणा: काल, सर्वनाम और समय-शब्दों का बदलाव उल्टा करें।

हल:

had visited → have you visited; had opened → opened; previous month → last month।
felt → do you feel; was → is; had been visiting → have been visiting; they → we।
सारे बदलाव केवल विकल्प (D) में हैं।

ट्रिक: 'last month' + 'we' + वर्तमान काल – तीनों एक साथ देखें, A, B, C तुरंत हटेंगे।

उत्तर: (D) "Have you visited the museum that opened last month, and do you feel it is larger than the gallery we have been visiting for years?' he asked her.

Q3123.

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in direct voice. The professor told the researchers that they must publish the findings that week, because it contained the evidence that had been missing from the archives for decades.

A"You must publish the findings this week, because it contains the evidence that has been missing from the archives for decades," the professor said to the researchers.
B"You must publish the findings that week, because it contained the evidence that had been missing from the archives for decades," the professor said to the researchers.
C'We must publish the findings this week, because it contained the evidence that has been missing from the archives for decades," the professor said to the researchers.
D"You had to publish the findings this week, because it contains the evidence that was missing from the archives for decades," the professor said to the researchers.

Show answer

Concept: told … that → said to; undo tense back-shift; 'that week' → 'this week'.

they (researchers) → you; 'must' stays 'must'.
contained → contains; had been missing → has been missing.
Option (A) has all these; (B) keeps past forms, (C) uses 'We', (D) uses 'had to'.

Trick: Pronoun first: listeners 'they' → 'you'. Then time word 'this week' – one option remains.

Answer: (A) "You must publish the findings this week, because it contains the evidence that has been missing from the archives for decades," the professor said to the researchers.

अवधारणा: told … that → said to; काल का बदलाव उल्टा करें; 'that week' → 'this week'।

हल:

they (शोधकर्ता) → you; 'must' वैसा ही रहेगा।
contained → contains; had been missing → has been missing।
ये सब केवल (A) में हैं; (B) में भूतकाल, (C) में 'We', (D) में 'had to'।

ट्रिक: पहले सर्वनाम देखें: सुनने वाले 'they' → 'you'; फिर 'this week' – एक ही विकल्प बचेगा।

उत्तर: (A) "You must publish the findings this week, because it contains the evidence that has been missing from the archives for decades," the professor said to the researchers.

Q3126.

If in a certain coding system, PEN is coded as 112213, INK as 181316, then how will BOOK be coded following this numerical coding pattern?

यदि किसी निश्चित कूट प्रणाली में PEN को 112213 तथा INK को 181316 लिखा जाता है, तो इसी संख्यात्मक कूट पैटर्न के अनुसार BOOK को किस प्रकार लिखा जाएगा?

A25121216
B24131216
C25121418
D25161615

Show answer

Concept: Each letter is written as the position of its opposite letter (27 − position).

PEN = positions 16, 5, 14 → opposites 11, 22, 13 ⇒ 112213 ✔
INK = positions 9, 14, 11 → opposites 18, 13, 16 ⇒ 181316 ✔
BOOK = positions 2, 15, 15, 11 → opposites 25, 12, 12, 16 ⇒ 25121216

Trick: Opposite pairs add to 27 (A+Z = 1+26). B→25 alone matches options A, C, D; O→12 leaves only A and C; K→16 picks A.

Answer: (A) 25121216

अवधारणा: हर अक्षर को उसके विपरीत अक्षर के स्थान-मान (27 − स्थान) से लिखा गया है।

हल:

PEN के स्थान 16, 5, 14 → विपरीत 11, 22, 13 ⇒ 112213 ✔
INK के स्थान 9, 14, 11 → विपरीत 18, 13, 16 ⇒ 181316 ✔
BOOK के स्थान 2, 15, 15, 11 → विपरीत 25, 12, 12, 16 ⇒ 25121216

ट्रिक: विपरीत अक्षरों का योग 27 होता है। O→12 और K→16 से तुरंत विकल्प A मिल जाता है।

उत्तर: (A) 25121216

Q3127.

In a particular code language, if SCIENTIST is coded as TDJFOUJTU and BIOLOGIST is coded as CJPMPHJTU, then what is the code for GEOLOGIST ?

किसी विशेष कूट भाषा में, यदि SCIENTIST को TDJFOUJTU तथा BIOLOGIST को CJPMPHJTU लिखा जाता है, तो GEOLOGIST का कूट क्या होगा?

AHFMP PHJTU
BHFPM PHJTU
CHFPM HPJTU
DHFPM PHJUT

Show answer

Concept: Every letter is replaced by the next letter of the alphabet.

SCIENTIST → TDJFOUJTU (each +1); BIOLOGIST → CJPMPHJTU (same).
GEOLOGIST +1 each: GEO → HFP, LOGIST → MPHJTU ⇒ HFPMPHJTU.

Trick: 'LOGIST' is common to BIOLOGIST and GEOLOGIST, so its code 'MPHJTU' can be copied directly – only GEO→HFP is new.

Answer: (B) HFPM PHJTU

अवधारणा: हर अक्षर को वर्णमाला में उसके अगले अक्षर से बदला गया है।

हल:

SCIENTIST → TDJFOUJTU (हर अक्षर +1); BIOLOGIST → CJPMPHJTU (वही नियम)।
GEOLOGIST में हर अक्षर +1: GEO → HFP, LOGIST → MPHJTU ⇒ HFPMPHJTU।

ट्रिक: BIOLOGIST और GEOLOGIST में 'LOGIST' समान है – उसका कोड 'MPHJTU' सीधे उठा लें, केवल GEO→HFP निकालें।

उत्तर: (B) HFPM PHJTU

Q3129.

A member of your team has been making frequent mistakes lately. You realize that he is going through personal stress. What would you do?

आपके दल का एक सदस्य हाल ही में बार-बार गलतियाँ कर रहा है। आपको ज्ञात होता है कि वह व्यक्तिगत तनाव से गुजर रहा है। आप क्या करेंगे?

AExpose his mistakes to everyoneउसकी गलतियाँ सबके सामने उजागर करेंगे
Bwarn him and report him immediatelyउसे चेतावनी देंगे और तुरंत उसकी शिकायत करेंगे
CTalk personally, understand the situation and offer cooperationव्यक्तिगत रूप से बात करेंगे, स्थिति को समझेंगे और सहयोग की पेशकश करेंगे
DRecommend his removal from the teamदल से उसे हटाने की सिफारिश करेंगे

Show answer

Concept: Address the root cause (personal stress) with empathy, not punishment.

Speak to him privately, understand his problem and offer help – this protects his dignity and improves work.
Public exposure (A), immediate warning/report (B) and removal (D) only punish the symptom.

Trick: Cause known + human problem ⇒ the empathetic, private-talk option is almost always right.

Answer: (C) Talk personally, understand the situation and offer cooperation

अवधारणा: समस्या की जड़ (व्यक्तिगत तनाव) को सहानुभूति से संभालें, सज़ा से नहीं।

हल:

उससे अकेले में बात करें, परेशानी समझें और मदद दें – इससे सम्मान भी बचता है और काम भी सुधरता है।
सबके सामने गलती दिखाना (A), तुरंत चेतावनी/शिकायत (B) या हटाना (D) केवल सज़ा है।

ट्रिक: कारण पता हो और समस्या मानवीय हो ⇒ सहानुभूति व निजी बातचीत वाला विकल्प सही।

उत्तर: (C) व्यक्तिगत रूप से बात करेंगे, स्थिति को समझेंगे और सहयोग की पेशकश करेंगे

Pointing to a man in a photograph, Gita said, 'His mother is the only daughter of my mother's father." How is the man in the photograph related to Gita?

एक तस्वीर में एक व्यक्ति की ओर संकेत करते हुए गीता ने कहा, 'इसकी माँ मेरी माँ के पिता की इकलौती पुत्री है।' तस्वीर में दिखाई देने वाला व्यक्ति गीता से किस प्रकार संबंधित है?

AFatherपिता
BBrotherभाई
CGrand Fatherनाना
DUncleचाचा

Show answer

Concept: Decode the phrase from the end: 'my mother's father' first.

Gita's mother's father = Gita's maternal grandfather (nana).
His only daughter = Gita's mother.
Man's mother = Gita's mother, and he is male ⇒ brother.

Trick: 'Only daughter of my mother's father' is just a long way of saying 'my mother'.

Answer: (B) Brother

अवधारणा: वाक्य को अंत से खोलें – पहले 'my mother's father'।

हल:

गीता की माँ के पिता = गीता के नाना।
उनकी इकलौती पुत्री = गीता की माँ।
व्यक्ति की माँ = गीता की माँ और वह पुरुष है ⇒ भाई।

ट्रिक: 'मेरी माँ के पिता की इकलौती पुत्री' = सीधे 'मेरी माँ'।

उत्तर: (B) भाई

Q3131.

The price of an item increased from ₹700 to ₹1060. What is the percentage increase?

एक वस्तु का मूल्य ₹700 से बढ़कर ₹1060 हो गया। प्रतिशत वृद्धि कितनी है?

A $51.42 %$
B50.42 %
C48.42 %
D49.42 %

Show answer

Concept: $% increase = (increase \div original) \times 100$ .

Increase = $1060 - 700 =$ ₹360.
$% = \frac{360}{700} \times 100 = \frac{360}{7} = 51.42 \dots %$

Trick: $\frac{360}{7}$ : $7 \times 51 = 357$ , remainder 3 → $\frac{3}{7} \approx 0.43$ , so ≈ 51.4% – only option A starts with 51.

Answer: (A) $51.42 %$

अवधारणा: $प्रतिशत वृद्धि = (वृद्धि \div मूल मान) \times 100$

हल:

वृद्धि = $1060 - 700 =$ ₹360
$% = \frac{360}{700} \times 100 = \frac{360}{7} = 51.42 \dots %$

ट्रिक: $\frac{360}{7}$ में $7 \times 51 = 357$ – उत्तर 51 से शुरू होगा, केवल विकल्प A।

Q3132.

A car travels at

80 km / hr

for the first 3 hours and

70 km / hr

for the next 4 hours. What is the average speed of the car for the entire journey?

एक कार पहले 3 घंटों तक

80 km / hr

की चाल से तथा अगले 4 घंटों तक

70 km / hr

की चाल से चलती है। पूरी यात्रा के लिए कार की औसत चाल क्या है?

A $64.28 km / h$
B74.28 km/h
C $84.28 km / h$
D $68.28 km / h$

Show answer

Concept: $Average speed = total distance \div total time$ .

Distance = $80 \times 3 + 70 \times 4 = 240 + 280 = 520$ km.
Time = $3 + 4 = 7$ h.
Average = $\frac{520}{7} \approx$ 74.28 km/h.

Trick: When times are given, average speed is a weighted mean: $70 + \frac{10 \times 3}{7} = 70 + 4.28 = 74.28$ .

Answer: (B) 74.28 km/h

अवधारणा: $औसत चाल = कुल दूरी \div कुल समय$

हल:

दूरी = $80 \times 3 + 70 \times 4 = 240 + 280 = 520$ km
समय = $3 + 4 = 7$ घंटे
औसत = $\frac{520}{7} \approx$ 74.28 km/h

ट्रिक: समय दिया हो तो भारित औसत: $70 + \frac{10 \times 3}{7} = 74.28$ ; उत्तर 70 और 80 के बीच ही होगा।

उत्तर: (B) 74.28 km/h

Concept: AP: $T_{n} = a + (n - 1) d$ .

$a = 22$ , $d = 4$ .
$T_{50} = 22 + 49 \times 4 = 22 + 196 =$ 218.

Trick: $T_{n} = 4 n + 18$ here, so $T_{50} = 200 + 18 = 218$ . Also, every term is even and leaves remainder 2 on ÷4 – only 218 fits.

Answer: (B) 218

अवधारणा: समांतर श्रेणी: $T_{n} = a + (n - 1) d$

हल:

$a = 22$ , $d = 4$
$T_{50} = 22 + 49 \times 4 = 22 + 196 =$ 218

ट्रिक: यहाँ $T_{n} = 4 n + 18$ ⇒ $200 + 18 = 218$ ; हर पद को 4 से भाग देने पर शेष 2 – केवल 218 फिट।

HLP: H(8)→R(18), L(12)→V(22), P(16)→Z(26) ⇒ RVZ

ट्रिक: H का कोड पहले ही R मिल चुका है – R से शुरू होने वाला एकमात्र विकल्प RVZ।

उत्तर: (B) RVZ

Pick the correct options from the given alternatives
DELHI : I H LED :: PATNA : ?

दिए गए विकल्पों में से सही विकल्प चुनिए
DELHI : I H LED :: PATNA : ?

AAPNAT
BA T N A P
CATANP
DANTAP

Show answer

Concept: The code is the word written backwards.

DELHI reversed = IHLED ✔
PATNA reversed = ANTAP.

Trick: Check only the last letter of the word: PATNA ends in A and starts with P → code must be A…P; then middle T-N reversed = N-T.

Answer: (D) ANTAP

अवधारणा: कोड = शब्द को उल्टे क्रम में लिखना।

हल:

DELHI उल्टा = IHLED ✔
PATNA उल्टा = ANTAP

ट्रिक: PATNA उल्टा पढ़ें: A-N-T-A-P; बीच में N पहले, T बाद में।

उत्तर: (D) ANTAP

Q3140.

Choose the correct letter cluster to complete the series.
BCDE, HIJK, NOPQ, ?

शृंखला को पूरा करने के लिए सही अक्षर-समूह चुनिए।
BCDE, HIJK, NOPQ, ?

AU T V W
BT U V W
CT U W V
DT V U W

Show answer

Concept: Each group = 4 consecutive letters; first letters jump +6.

Starting letters: B(2), H(8), N(14) → +6 each.
Next start = 20 → T; group = TUVW (in order).

Trick: Gap between groups is always 2 letters (F G, L M, R S) – after Q skip R, S → start at T.

Answer: (B) T U V W

अवधारणा: हर समूह में 4 लगातार अक्षर; पहले अक्षर +6 बढ़ते हैं।

हल:

पहले अक्षर: B(2), H(8), N(14) → हर बार +6
अगला = 20 → T; समूह = TUVW (क्रम से)

ट्रिक: दो समूहों के बीच हमेशा 2 अक्षर छूटते हैं – Q के बाद R, S छोड़कर T से शुरू।

उत्तर: (B) T U V W
