Chef : Food :: Architect : ?
  1. ACookपकाना (Cook)
  2. BServeपरोसना (Serve)
  3. CRecipeविधि (Recipe)
  4. DDesignडिज़ाइन (Design)
Show answer

Concept: The first word is a professional; the second is the thing he creates.

  1. Chef → prepares Food (his output).
  2. Architect → prepares a Design/plan of a building.
  3. Cook and Recipe belong to the chef's world, not the architect's.

Trick: Frame a sentence: 'A ___ makes ___'. Only the word that fits both halves is right.

Answer: (D) Design

अवधारणा: पहला शब्द व्यवसायी है, दूसरा वह चीज़ जो वह बनाता है।

  1. शेफ → भोजन बनाता है।
  2. आर्किटेक्ट → इमारत का डिज़ाइन (नक्शा) बनाता है।
  3. Cook, Recipe शेफ से जुड़े शब्द हैं, आर्किटेक्ट से नहीं।

ट्रिक: वाक्य बनाइए: '___ ___ बनाता है' — जो शब्द दोनों जोड़ों में फिट हो, वही उत्तर।

उत्तर: (D) डिज़ाइन (Design)

  3. (a) Mathura school – Kushana age, 1st–3rd century CE: free-standing images, early Buddha figures in red sandstone.

Trick: Think 'B-S-M' = Bharhut, Sanchi, Mathura — Shunga → Satavahana → Kushana.

  3. (a) मथुरा शैली – कुषाण काल (पहली–तीसरी सदी ई.): लाल बलुआ पत्थर की स्वतंत्र बुद्ध प्रतिमाएँ।

  1. A86415
  2. B86385
  3. C86420
  4. D86500
Show answer

Concept: Numbers made of one repeated digit d can be written as d × (11…1).

  1. 7 + 77 + 777 + 7777 + 77777 = 7 × (1 + 11 + 111 + 1111 + 11111).
  2. 1 + 11 + 111 + 1111 + 11111 = 12345.
  3. 7 × 12345 = 86415.

Trick: Unit digit: five 7s → 35 → ends in 5. Only 86415 ends in 5.

Answer: (A) 86415

अवधारणा: एक ही अंक d से बनी संख्याएँ = d × (11…1)।

  1. योग = 7 × (1 + 11 + 111 + 1111 + 11111)।
  2. कोष्ठक का योग = 12345।
  3. 7 × 12345 = 86415।

ट्रिक: इकाई अंक: पाँच बार 7 = 35 → अंत में 5; केवल 86415।

उत्तर: (A) 86415
