Sample questions from this paper

Q1.
Choose the address that is exactly the same as the one given below.
Flat No. 31A, Maple Residency, Thane, Maharashtra - 411038
नीचे दिए गए पते के बिल्कुल समान पता चुनिए।
Flat No. 31A, Maple Residency, Thane, Maharashtra - 411038
  1. AFlat No. 31A, Maple Residency, Thane, Maharashtra - 411048
  2. BFlat No. 31A, Maple Residency, Thane, Maharashtra - 511038
  3. CFlat No. 31B, Maple Residency, Thane, Maharashtra - 411038
  4. DFlat No. 31A, Maple Residency, Thane, Maharashtra - 411038
Show answer

Concept: Compare every part of the address piece by piece; even one changed digit makes it different.

  1. Original: Flat 31A, PIN 411038.
  2. (A) PIN reads 411048 – mismatch.
  3. (B) PIN starts with 5 – mismatch; (C) flat is 31B – mismatch.
  4. (D) has 31A and 411038 – identical.

Trick: Check the most "error-prone" parts first – numbers (flat no., PIN). Text is rarely changed.

Answer: (D) Flat No. 31A, Maple Residency, Thane, Maharashtra - 411038

अवधारणा: पते के हर हिस्से को अलग-अलग मिलाइए; एक अंक का अंतर भी पता बदल देता है।

  1. मूल: फ्लैट 31A, पिन 411038।
  2. (A) में पिन 411048 – गलत।
  3. (B) में पिन 5 से शुरू – गलत; (C) में फ्लैट 31B – गलत।
  4. (D) में 31A और 411038 दोनों सही – पूरा मेल।

ट्रिक: पहले संख्याएँ (फ्लैट नंबर, पिन) जाँचें – बदलाव अक्सर वहीं होता है।

उत्तर: (D) Flat No. 31A, Maple Residency, Thane, Maharashtra - 411038

  2. This image matched Akbar's policy of Sulh-i-kul (peace with all).

Yaad rakhein: Akbar also founded the Ibadat Khana (1575) at Fatehpur Sikri for religious debates.

Answer: (C) Akbar

अवधारणा: दरबारी इतिहासकारों ने मुगल शासकों को विशेष उपाधियाँ दीं।

  1. अबुल फ़ज़ल ने अकबरनामा में अकबर को इंसान-ए-कामिल (पूर्ण मानव) बताया।
  2. यह छवि अकबर की सुलह-ए-कुल (सबसे मेल) नीति से जुड़ी थी।
  3. बहादुर शाह प्रथम को "शाह आलम" कहा जाता था।

Q51.
What is the least square number that is exactly divisible by 3, 5, 12 and 15?
वह छोटी से छोटी वर्ग संख्या कौन-सी है जो 3, 5, 12 और 15 से पूर्णतः विभाज्य हो?
  1. A3600
  2. B2304
  3. C3364
  4. D4489
Show answer

Concept: Take the LCM, then make every prime power even.

  1. LCM(3, 5, 12, 15) = 60 = 2² × 3 × 5.
  2. 3 and 5 have odd powers → multiply by 3 × 5 = 15.
  3. 60 × 15 = 900 is the least such square; among options only 3600 (= 60²) is a multiple of 60.

Trick: A square divisible by 5 must end in 25 or 00 – only 3600 qualifies.

Answer: (A) 3600

अवधारणा: पहले LCM लें, फिर हर अभाज्य गुणनखंड की घात सम बनाएँ।

  1. LCM(3, 5, 12, 15) = 60 = 2² × 3 × 5।
  2. 3 और 5 की घात विषम → 15 से गुणा।
  3. न्यूनतम वर्ग 900 है; विकल्पों में केवल 3600 (= 60²) ही 60 का गुणज है।

ट्रिक: 5 से विभाज्य वर्ग 25 या 00 पर खत्म होगा – सिर्फ 3600 बचता है।

उत्तर: (A) 3600

Q76.
Select the most appropriate meaning of the given idiom.
Cut from the same cloth
  1. ATo wear identical outfits
  2. BOf the same nature
  3. CTo share a common ancestry
  4. DTo work in the same profession
Show answer

Concept: Idioms carry a figurative, not literal, meaning.

  1. "Cut from the same cloth" = having a very similar character or nature.
  2. e.g. The two brothers are cut from the same cloth – both are stubborn.
  3. It is about nature, not dress, family line or job.

Trick: Literal-looking options (wear identical outfits) are almost always traps in idiom questions.

Answer: (B) Of the same nature

अवधारणा: मुहावरे का अर्थ लाक्षणिक होता है, शाब्दिक नहीं।

  1. "Cut from the same cloth" = स्वभाव/चरित्र में बहुत मिलते-जुलते।
  2. उदाहरण: The two brothers are cut from the same cloth. – दोनों एक जैसे जिद्दी।
  3. इसका संबंध कपड़ों, वंश या पेशे से नहीं है।

ट्रिक: मुहावरे में शाब्दिक अर्थ वाला विकल्प (एक जैसे कपड़े) प्रायः जाल होता है।

उत्तर: (B) Of the same nature
