Sample questions from this paper

Q1.
Find the pair that best expresses a similar relationship.
Hertz : Frequency :: Newton : ?
समान संबंध व्यक्त करने वाला युग्म चुनिए।
हर्ट्ज़ : आवृत्ति :: न्यूटन : ?
  1. APowerशक्ति
  2. BTemperatureतापमान
  3. CPressureदाब
  4. DForceबल
Show answer

Concept: Pair each SI unit with the physical quantity it measures.

  1. Hertz (Hz) measures frequency → unit : quantity.
  2. Newton (N) measures force; 1 N = 1 kg·m/s².
  3. Power uses watt, pressure uses pascal, temperature uses kelvin – so these are out.

Trick: Read the pair as 'X is the unit of Y' and test each option in that sentence.

Answer: (D) Force

अवधारणा: SI मात्रक और उससे मापी जाने वाली राशि का जोड़ा बनाना।

हल:

  1. हर्ट्ज़ से आवृत्ति (frequency) मापी जाती है।
  2. न्यूटन से बल (force) मापा जाता है; 1 N = 1 kg·m/s²।
  3. शक्ति → वाट, दाब → पास्कल, ताप → केल्विन; इसलिए बाकी विकल्प गलत।

ट्रिक: वाक्य बनाइए – 'X, Y का मात्रक है' – जो विकल्प सही बैठे वही उत्तर।

उत्तर: (D) बल (Force)

उत्तर: (D) औरंगज़ेब

Q51.
Aman invested ₹60,000 for 10 months and Priya invested ₹90,000 for 8 months. If the total profit at the end of the year is ₹55,000, what is Priya's share in the profit?
अमन ने ₹60,000 दस माह के लिए और प्रिया ने ₹90,000 आठ माह के लिए निवेश किए। यदि वर्ष के अंत में कुल लाभ ₹55,000 हो, तो प्रिया का हिस्सा कितना होगा?
  1. A₹25,000
  2. B₹28,000
  3. C₹30,000
  4. D₹32,500
Show answer

Concept: Profit is shared in the ratio of (capital × months).

  1. Aman: 60 × 10 = 600; Priya: 90 × 8 = 720 (in thousands).
  2. Ratio 600 : 720 = 5 : 6 (total 11).
  3. Priya = 55,000 × 6/11 = ₹30,000.

Trick: Profit 55,000 is divisible by 11 → 1 part = 5,000; Priya's 6 parts = 30,000.

Answer: (C) ₹30,000

अवधारणा: लाभ (पूँजी × महीने) के अनुपात में बँटता है।

हल:

  1. अमन: 60 × 10 = 600; प्रिया: 90 × 8 = 720 (हज़ार में)।
  2. अनुपात 5 : 6, कुल 11 भाग।
  3. प्रिया = 55,000 × 6/11 = ₹30,000।

ट्रिक: 1 भाग = 55,000 ÷ 11 = 5,000 → 6 भाग = 30,000।

उत्तर: (C) ₹30,000

Q76.
Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.
1. This adaptability enables ecosystems to recover from disturbances and maintain long-term stability.
2. Ecosystem resilience refers to the capacity of a natural system to absorb stress and reorganize while undergoing change.
3. In the context of climate change, resilience is a crucial factor determining the survival of many species.
4. It involves complex interactions among biotic and abiotic components that allow systems to withstand external pressures.
  1. A2, 4, 1, 3
  2. B4, 2, 1, 3
  3. C2, 1, 3, 4
  4. D3, 2, 4, 1
Show answer

Concept: Open with the definition, then pronoun/connector links, then the broader context.

  1. 2 introduces and defines 'ecosystem resilience' → first.
  2. 4 begins with 'It involves…' → 'It' refers to resilience in 2.
  3. 1 'This adaptability…' sums up 4's idea of withstanding pressure; 3 widens it to climate change → 2-4-1-3.

Trick: A sentence starting with 'It' or 'This' can never open the paragraph – removes B; only A and C start with 2, and 'This adaptability' needs 4 before it.

Answer: (A) 2, 4, 1, 3

अवधारणा: परिभाषा से शुरुआत, फिर सर्वनाम/जोड़ने वाले शब्दों से कड़ी, अंत में व्यापक संदर्भ।

हल:

  1. वाक्य 2 'ecosystem resilience' की परिभाषा देता है → पहला।
  2. वाक्य 4 'It involves…' – 'It' = resilience।
  3. वाक्य 1 'This adaptability…' फिर वाक्य 3 (climate change) → 2-4-1-3।

ट्रिक: 'It'/'This' से शुरू होने वाला वाक्य पहला नहीं हो सकता; 'This adaptability' से पहले 4 चाहिए।

उत्तर: (A) 2, 4, 1, 3
