Sample questions from this paper

निम्न प्रश्न में दिए गए विकल्पों में से संबंधित शब्द चुनिए।
Barometer : Pressure :: Odometer : ?
  1. ADistanceदूरी (Distance)
  2. BSpeedचाल (Speed)
  3. CTimeसमय (Time)
  4. DTemperatureतापमान (Temperature)
Show answer

Concept: Pair = a device : the quantity it records.

  1. Barometer records air pressure.
  2. Odometer (in a vehicle's dashboard) records the total distance covered.
  3. Speed is shown by the speedometer, so (B) is a trap.

Trick: Odo = road/way (Greek 'hodos') → distance on the road; Speedo → speed.

Answer: (A) Distance

अवधारणा: जोड़ी = यंत्र : वह क्या मापता है।

  1. Barometer से वायुदाब मापा जाता है।
  2. Odometer गाड़ी द्वारा तय की गई कुल दूरी बताता है।
  3. चाल मापने वाला यंत्र speedometer है, इसलिए (B) गलत है।

ट्रिक: Odo = रास्ता → दूरी; Speedo → चाल।

उत्तर: (A) दूरी (Distance)

  3. CNeither statement 1 nor 2न कथन 1 न कथन 2
  4. DBoth statements 1 and 2कथन 1 और 2 दोनों
Show answer

Concept: Constitutional vs statutory posts; nomination rules for President.

  1. Statement 1 ✗: the Solicitor General is not a constitutional office; the post is filled by the Government (Appointments Committee of the Cabinet).
  2. Statement 2 ✓: a presidential candidate deposits ₹15,000 as security.
  3. So only statement 2 is correct.

Yaad rakhein: Attorney General – Article 76, appointed by the President; SG and Additional SGs have no constitutional mention.

Answer: (A) Only statement 2

अवधारणा: संवैधानिक बनाम वैधानिक पद; राष्ट्रपति चुनाव के नामांकन नियम।

  1. कथन 1 ✗: सॉलिसिटर जनरल संवैधानिक पद नहीं है; नियुक्ति सरकार (कैबिनेट की नियुक्ति समिति) करती है।
  2. कथन 2 ✓: राष्ट्रपति पद के उम्मीदवार को ₹15,000 जमानत राशि जमा करनी होती है।
  3. अतः केवल कथन 2 सही है।

याद रखें: महान्यायवादी (Attorney General) – अनुच्छेद 76, राष्ट्रपति द्वारा नियुक्त; SG का संविधान में उल्लेख नहीं।

उत्तर: (A) केवल कथन 2

Q51.
Find the product: 1.2 × 225 × 36
गुणनफल ज्ञात कीजिए: 1.2 × 225 × 36
  1. A2.4
  2. B1.5
  3. C1.44
  4. D2.1
Show answer

Concept: Turn the mixed fraction and fraction into simple numbers, then multiply.

  1. 2 2/5 = 12/5 and 3/6 = 1/2.
  2. 1.2 × 12/5 = 14.4/5 = 2.88.
  3. 2.88 × 1/2 = 1.44.

Trick: 12/5 × 1/2 = 6/5 = 1.2, so the product = 1.2 × 1.2 = 1.44 — done in one look.

Answer: (C) 1.44

अवधारणा: मिश्र भिन्न और भिन्न को सरल रूप में बदलकर गुणा करें।

  1. 2 2/5 = 12/5 और 3/6 = 1/2।
  2. 1.2 × 12/5 = 2.88।
  3. 2.88 × 1/2 = 1.44।

ट्रिक: 12/5 × 1/2 = 6/5 = 1.2, इसलिए गुणनफल = 1.2 × 1.2 = 1.44।

उत्तर: (C) 1.44

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. These large predatory fish are known for their speed and sharp teeth, making them apex predators in their marine habitats.
2. Sharks are a fascinating group of cartilaginous fish found in oceans all over the world.
3. Their skeletons are made of cartilage rather than bone, a feature that distinguishes them from most other fish.
4. From the massive whale shark, the largest fish in the world, to the small dwarf lanternshark, they display remarkable diversity.
  1. A2, 4, 3, 1
  2. B4, 3, 2, 1
  3. C3, 2, 1, 4
  4. D2, 1, 4, 3
Show answer

Concept: Move from general introduction to specific details.

  1. 2 names the topic (sharks) — a natural opener.
  2. 4 shows their range of sizes (whale shark to lanternshark); 3 adds the cartilage feature.
  3. 1 ends with their role as top predators → 2-4-3-1.

Trick: Only two options start with 2; 'they display' in 4 needs the subject 'sharks' right before it, so 2-4 wins.

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

अवधारणा: सामान्य परिचय से विशिष्ट विवरण की ओर बढ़ें।

  1. वाक्य 2 विषय (sharks) बताता है — शुरुआत यहीं से।
  2. 4 उनकी विविधता (whale shark से dwarf lanternshark तक) बताता है; 3 cartilage वाली विशेषता जोड़ता है।
  3. 1 उन्हें apex predator बताकर समाप्त करता है → 2-4-3-1।

ट्रिक: केवल दो विकल्प 2 से शुरू होते हैं; 4 का 'they' ठीक पहले 'sharks' चाहता है, अतः 2-4।

उत्तर: (A) 2, 4, 3, 1
