Q3421.

Choose the correct passive voice transformation of the sentence: The meticulous editor, who possesses an unparalleled eye for detail, is proofreading the final manuscript.

AThe final manuscript is proofread by the meticulous editor, who possesses an unparalleled eye for detail.
BThe final manuscript is being proofread by the meticulous editor, who possesses an unparalleled eye for detail.
CThe final manuscript was being proofread by the meticulous editor.
DThe final manuscript has been proofread by the meticulous editor.

Show answer

Concept: is + V-ing → is being + V3; the descriptive clause stays with its noun.

'is proofreading' → 'is being proofread'.
The 'who…' clause belongs to the editor – keep it right after 'by the meticulous editor'.
(A) lacks 'being'; (C) changes tense to past; (D) changes tense and drops the clause.

Trick: Check two things only: correct tense ('is being') + no information lost.

Answer: (B) The final manuscript is being proofread by the meticulous editor, who possesses an unparalleled eye for detail.

अवधारणा: is + V-ing → is being + V3; वर्णनात्मक clause अपनी संज्ञा के साथ रहता है।

'is proofreading' → 'is being proofread'।
'who possesses …' clause editor का वर्णन है, इसलिए 'by the meticulous editor' के बाद आएगा।
(A) में 'being' नहीं; (C) past tense; (D) tense बदला और clause हटाया।

ट्रिक: केवल दो चीज़ें जाँचें: सही tense ('is being') + कोई जानकारी न छूटे।

उत्तर: (B) The final manuscript is being proofread by the meticulous editor, who possesses an unparalleled eye for detail.

Q3422.

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in direct voice. The manager informed the employees that they had to submit that detailed report by the end of the month, as it was essential for evaluating their overall performance.

A"You are required to submit the detailed report by the end of this month, as it is essential for evaluating your overall performance," the manager said to the employees.
B"You were required to submit the detailed report by the end of the month, as it was essential for evaluating your overall performance," the manager said to the employees.
C"You must submit this detailed report by the end of the month, as it is essential for evaluating your overall performance," the manager said to the employees.
D"You must submit that detailed report by the end of the previous month, as it is essential for evaluating your overall performance," the manager said to the employees.

Show answer

Concept: Reverse the backshift: had to → must, that → this, was → is, their → your.

'informed the employees' → said to the employees, words in inverted commas.
'they had to submit that report' → 'You must submit this detailed report'.
'it was essential … their performance' → 'it is essential … your performance'; 'the end of the month' stays.
(A) adds 'this month'; (B) keeps past tense; (D) keeps 'that' and adds 'previous month'.

Trick: Direct speech = present-tense, first/second-person words; any option still in past tense is out.

Answer: (C)"You must submit this detailed report by the end of the month, as it is essential for evaluating your overall performance," the manager said to the employees.

अवधारणा: Backshift उलटें: had to → must, that → this, was → is, their → your।

'informed the employees' → said to the employees, शब्द उद्धरण चिह्नों में।
'they had to submit that report' → 'You must submit this detailed report'।
'it was essential … their' → 'it is essential … your'; 'the end of the month' वैसा ही रहेगा।
(A) 'this month' जोड़ता है; (B) past tense रखता है; (D) 'that' व 'previous month' रखता है।

ट्रिक: Direct speech में वक्ता के मूल (present tense) शब्द होते हैं – past tense वाला विकल्प तुरंत हटाएँ।

उत्तर: (C)"You must submit this detailed report by the end of the month, …" the manager said to the employees.

Q3423.

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in direct voice. The principal informed the students that their consistent efforts had been appreciated and that they would receive certificates at the end of the academic year, as a recognition of their commitment.

A"Your consistent efforts have been appreciated and you will receive certificates at the end of the academic year, as a recognition of your commitment," the principal said to the students.
B"Your consistent efforts were appreciated and you would receive certificates at the end of the academic year, as a recognition of your commitment," the principal said to the students.
C"Their consistent efforts had been appreciated and they will receive certificates at the end of the academic year, as a recognition of your commitment," the principal said to the students.
D"Your consistent efforts had been appreciated and you would receive certificates at the end of the academic year, as a recognition of your commitment," the principal said to the students.

Show answer

Concept: Undo the backshift: had been → have been, would → will, their/they → your/you.

'their consistent efforts had been appreciated' → 'Your consistent efforts have been appreciated'.
'they would receive' → 'you will receive'.
(B) and (D) keep past forms (were/had been, would); (C) keeps 'their/they'.

Trick: Only one option has both 'have been' and 'will' – pick it in seconds.

Answer: (A)"Your consistent efforts have been appreciated and you will receive certificates at the end of the academic year, as a recognition of your commitment," the principal said to the students.

अवधारणा: Backshift उलटें: had been → have been, would → will, their/they → your/you।

'their … had been appreciated' → 'Your … have been appreciated'।
'they would receive' → 'you will receive'।
(B), (D) में past रूप (were/had been, would) हैं; (C) में 'their/they' बचा है।

ट्रिक: केवल एक विकल्प में 'have been' और 'will' दोनों हैं – वही उत्तर।

उत्तर: (A)"Your consistent efforts have been appreciated and you will receive certificates …" the principal said to the students.

____

of the mountain, the team leader gave his

____

to continue the climb despite worsening weather conditions.

Aexcept; accept
Baccept; except
Cassent; ascent

NEWSPAPER read backwards: R E P A P S W E N.
Code = REPAPSWEN.

Trick: Check only the middle letters: NEWS reversed is SWEN – only option (B) ends in 'SWEN'.

Answer: (B) REPAPSWEN

अवधारणा: हर शब्द को उल्टे क्रम में लिखकर कोड बनाया गया है।

RAINBOW → W O B N I A R ✔ – नियम पक्का।
NEWSPAPER को अंत से पढ़ें: R E P A P S W E N।
कोड = REPAPSWEN।

ट्रिक: NEWS उल्टा = SWEN; केवल (B) 'SWEN' पर खत्म होता है।

उत्तर: (B) REPAPSWEN

Q3428.

Each item describes a situation and is followed by four possible responses. Indicate the response you find most appropriate. Choose only one response for each item. The responses will be evaluated based on the level of appropriateness for the given situation. A department is experiencing frequent delays because employees are unclear about their roles. What should the manager do first?

प्रत्येक प्रश्न में एक स्थिति का वर्णन है और उसके बाद चार संभावित प्रतिक्रियाएँ दी गई हैं। आपको वह प्रतिक्रिया बताइए जो आपको सर्वाधिक उपयुक्त लगती है। प्रत्येक प्रश्न के लिए केवल एक ही प्रतिक्रिया चुनिए। प्रतिक्रियाओं का मूल्यांकन दी गई स्थिति के लिए उनकी उपयुक्तता के स्तर के आधार पर किया जाएगा। एक विभाग में बार-बार विलंब हो रहा है, क्योंकि कर्मचारियों को अपनी भूमिकाओं के विषय में स्पष्टता नहीं है। प्रबंधक को सर्वप्रथम क्या करना चाहिए?

AWarn employees for poor pertormanceखराब प्रदर्शन के लिए कर्मचारियों को चेतावनी देना
BClearly define roles and responsibilitiesभूमिकाओं और उत्तरदायित्वों को स्पष्ट रूप से निर्धारित करना
CReduce staff strengthकर्मचारियों की संख्या घटा देना
DIgnore the issue until complaints increaseशिकायतें बढ़ने तक इस मुद्दे की उपेक्षा करना

Show answer

Concept: Fix the root cause first – here the cause is unclear roles.

Defining roles and responsibilities directly removes the confusion causing delays ✔.
Warning staff or cutting staff blames people for a system problem; ignoring it lets delays grow.

Trick: In judgement questions choose the constructive, cause-solving option; reject punish/ignore/extreme options.

Answer: (B) Clearly define roles and responsibilities

अवधारणा: सबसे पहले समस्या का मूल कारण दूर करें – यहाँ कारण है भूमिकाओं की अस्पष्टता।

भूमिका व ज़िम्मेदारियाँ स्पष्ट करने से देरी का कारण ही खत्म होता है ✔।
चेतावनी देना या स्टाफ घटाना गलत दोषारोपण है; अनदेखी करने से देरी बढ़ेगी।

ट्रिक: ऐसे प्रश्नों में समाधान देने वाला रचनात्मक विकल्प चुनें; दंड/अनदेखी/अति वाले विकल्प हटाएँ।

उत्तर: (B) भूमिकाओं और उत्तरदायित्वों को स्पष्ट रूप से निर्धारित करना

Q3429.

In this type of questions, question is provided with substitutes for various mathematical symbols, followed by a question involving calculation of an expression or choosing the correct/incorrect equation. You have to put the real signs in the given equation and then solve the questions as required. If '%' stands for '

\times

', '?' stands for '+', '&' stands for '÷', ''' stands for ''', then find the value of:
4 ?

12 % 6 % 8 =

इस प्रकार के प्रश्नों में विभिन्न गणितीय चिह्नों के स्थान पर प्रतीक दिए जाते हैं, और उसके बाद एक प्रश्न दिया जाता है जिसमें किसी व्यंजक का मान ज्ञात करना होता है अथवा सही/गलत समीकरण चुनना होता है। आपको दिए गए समीकरण में वास्तविक चिह्न रखकर प्रश्न को आवश्यकतानुसार हल करना है। यदि '%' का अर्थ '

\times

' है, '?' का अर्थ '+' है, '&' का अर्थ '÷' है, ''' का अर्थ ''' है, तो निम्नलिखित का मान ज्ञात कीजिए:
4 ?

12 % 6 % 8 =

A522
B580
C560
D521

Show answer

Concept: Replace symbols, then solve by BODMAS.

% = ×, ? = + → $4 + 12 \times 6 \times 8$ .
Multiplication first: $12 \times 6 = 72$ , $72 \times 8 = 576$ .
$4 + 576 = 580$ .

Trick: Unit digit check: 4 + (…6) ends in 0 → only 580 and 560 qualify; $12 \times 48 = 576$ settles it.

Answer: (B) 580

अवधारणा: चिह्न बदलें, फिर BODMAS से हल करें।

% = ×, ? = + → $4 + 12 \times 6 \times 8$ ।
पहले गुणा: $12 \times 6 = 72$ , $72 \times 8 = 576$ ।
$4 + 576 = 580$ ।

ट्रिक: इकाई अंक: 4 + (…6) = …0 → केवल 580 या 560; $12 \times 48 = 576$ से 580 तय।

उत्तर: (B) 580

A junior team member is struggling with assigned tasks and appears demotivated. What is the best response?

एक कनिष्ठ दल-सदस्य सौंपे गए कार्यों में कठिनाई अनुभव कर रहा है और हतोत्साहित प्रतीत होता है। सर्वोत्तम प्रतिक्रिया क्या है?

AIgnore the issue since it is their responsibilityइस मुद्दे की उपेक्षा करना, क्योंकि यह उसका अपना उत्तरदायित्व है
BOffer guidance and clarify expectationsमार्गदर्शन देना और अपेक्षाओं को स्पष्ट करना
CTake over all their responsibilities permanentlyउसके सभी उत्तरदायित्व स्थायी रूप से स्वयं ले लेना
DHighlight their mistakes in front of the teamपूरे दल के सामने उसकी गलतियाँ उजागर करना

Show answer

Concept: A struggling, demotivated member needs support and clarity, not pressure.

Guidance + clear expectations build skill and confidence ✔.
Ignoring hurts the work; taking over permanently stops learning; public criticism lowers morale further.

Trick: Best response = helps the person grow AND keeps work on track.

Answer: (B) Offer guidance and clarify expectations

अवधारणा: कठिनाई में और हतोत्साहित सदस्य को दबाव नहीं, मार्गदर्शन चाहिए।

मार्गदर्शन + स्पष्ट अपेक्षाएँ → कौशल और आत्मविश्वास दोनों बढ़ते हैं ✔।
अनदेखी से काम बिगड़ेगा; सारा काम स्वयं लेने से सीखना रुकेगा; सबके सामने गलती बताने से मनोबल और गिरेगा।

ट्रिक: सर्वोत्तम उत्तर वही जो व्यक्ति को आगे बढ़ाए और काम भी पूरा कराए।

उत्तर: (B) मार्गदर्शन देना और अपेक्षाओं को स्पष्ट करना

A

, B, C, D, E, F। B, C का पुत्र है, परंतु C, B की माता नहीं है। A और C विवाहित दंपति हैं। E, C का भाई है। D, A की पुत्री है। F, A का भाई है। परिवार में कितने पुरुष सदस्य हैं?

Show answer

Concept: Fix each person's gender from the clues.

B is son → male. C is B's parent but not mother → C is father (male).
A is married to C → A is female. D is daughter → female.
E is brother of C → male; F is brother of A → male.
Males: B, C, E, F = 4.

Trick: 'Son', 'brother', 'father' each mark one male – just tick them off.

Answer: (B) 4

अवधारणा: सूचनाओं से हर सदस्य का लिंग तय करें।

B पुत्र → पुरुष। C, B का माता नहीं → पिता (पुरुष)।
A, C की पत्नी → स्त्री। D पुत्री → स्त्री।
E, C का भाई → पुरुष; F, A का भाई → पुरुष।

A work can be completed by 20 men in 16 days. How many days will 32 men take to complete the same work?

एक कार्य को 20 पुरुष 16 दिनों में पूरा कर सकते हैं। उसी कार्य को पूरा करने में 32 पुरुषों को कितने दिन लगेंगे?

A14 days14 दिन
B10 days10 दिन
C12 days12 दिन
D13 days13 दिन

Show answer

Concept: Same work: $M_{1} \times D_{1} = M_{2} \times D_{2}$ .

Total work = $20 \times 16 = 320$ man-days.
Days for 32 men = $320 \div 32 = 10$ .

Trick: Men increase 20 → 32 ( $\times \frac{8}{5}$ ), so days decrease $16 \times \frac{5}{8} = 10$ .

Answer: (B) 10 days

अवधारणा: समान कार्य: $M_{1} \times D_{1} = M_{2} \times D_{2}$ ।

कुल कार्य = $20 \times 16 = 320$ पुरुष-दिन।
32 पुरुषों के दिन = $320 \div 32 = 10$ ।

ट्रिक: पुरुष 20 → 32 ( $\frac{8}{5}$ गुना), तो दिन $16 \times \frac{5}{8} = 10$ ।

उत्तर: (B) 10 दिन

Simplify:

\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{3}

सरल कीजिए:

\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{3}

A $\frac{5}{60}$
B $\frac{7}{60}$
C $\frac{1}{30}$
D $\frac{1}{20}$

Show answer

Concept: Expression is $\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{3}$ ; convert to a common denominator (LCM).

LCM of 5, 4, 3 = 60.
$\frac{1}{5} = \frac{12}{60}$ , $\frac{1}{4} = \frac{15}{60}$ , $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{20}{60}$ .
$12 + 15 - 20 = 7$ → $\frac{7}{60}$ .

Trick: Numerators over LCM: $\frac{60}{5} + \frac{60}{4} - \frac{60}{3} = 12 + 15 - 20 = 7$ .

Answer: (B) $\frac{7}{60}$

अवधारणा: व्यंजक $\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{3}$ है; LCM लेकर हर समान करें।

5, 4, 3 का LCM = 60।
$\frac{1}{5} = \frac{12}{60}$ , $\frac{1}{4} = \frac{15}{60}$ , $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{20}{60}$ ।
$12 + 15 - 20 = 7$ → $\frac{7}{60}$ ।

ट्रिक: अंश सीधे: $\frac{60}{5} + \frac{60}{4} - \frac{60}{3} = 12 + 15 - 20 = 7$ ।

Concept: Compare letter positions place by place.

E(5)→H(8): +3; F(6)→A(1): −5; P(16)→S(19): +3; K(11)→F(6): −5.
GERN: G+3 = J, E−5 = Z (5−5=0 → 26), R+3 = U, N−5 = I.
Answer = JZUI.

Trick: G+3 = J and R+3 = U → only (C) and (D) have J _ U _; last letter N−5 = I picks (D).

Answer: (D) JZUI

अवधारणा: स्थानवार अक्षरों की तुलना करें।

E→H: +3; F→A: −5; P→S: +3; K→F: −5।
GERN: G+3 = J, E−5 = Z (0 → 26), R+3 = U, N−5 = I।
उत्तर = JZUI।

ट्रिक: चौथा अक्षर N−5 = I केवल (B) और (D) में; तीसरा अक्षर R+3 = U केवल (D) में।

उत्तर: (D) JZUI

Show answer

Concept: Each letter is replaced by its opposite: position n ↔ 27 − n.

S↔H, T↔G, E↔V, M↔N → STEM : HGVN ✔.
D↔W, E↔V, A↔Z, R↔I.
DEAR → WVZI.

Trick: Opposite pairs mnemonic: A-Z, D-W (DeW), E-V, I-R (IRa), M-N.

Answer: (D) WVZI

अवधारणा: हर अक्षर को उसके विपरीत अक्षर (27 − स्थान) से बदला गया है।

S↔H, T↔G, E↔V, M↔N → STEM : HGVN ✔।
D↔W, E↔V, A↔Z, R↔I।
DEAR → WVZI।

ट्रिक: विपरीत जोड़े: A-Z, D-W (DeW), E-V, I-R, M-N।

उत्तर: (D) WVZI
