Sample questions from this paper

Q1.
Which is the 2nd last word in the sentence "Software development is progressing very quickly"?
वाक्य "Software development is progressing very quickly" में अंत से दूसरा शब्द कौन-सा है?
  1. Ais
  2. Bquickly
  3. Cvery
  4. Dprogressing
Show answer

Concept: Count words from the end to find the 2nd last.

  1. Words: Software, development, is, progressing, very, quickly → 6 words.
  2. Last (6th) = quickly; 2nd last = 6 − 1 = 5th word.
  3. 5th word = very.

Trick: 2nd last = (total words − 1)th word from the left.

Answer: (C) very

अवधारणा: अंत से गिनकर दूसरा अंतिम शब्द निकालें।

  1. कुल शब्द 6 हैं: Software … quickly।
  2. अंतिम = quickly (6वाँ), दूसरा अंतिम = 5वाँ शब्द।
  3. 5वाँ शब्द = very।

ट्रिक: दूसरा अंतिम = (कुल शब्द − 1)वाँ शब्द बाएँ से।

उत्तर: (C) very

  2. BCelestial planetsआकाशीय ग्रह

Show answer

Concept: The temple is designed as the Sun god's chariot, and its wheels mark time.

  1. Konark (Odisha) was built in the 13th century by King Narasimhadeva I of the Eastern Ganga dynasty.
  2. Its 24 carved stone wheels can be read as sundials – the shadow of the spokes shows the time of day.
  3. Thus they symbolise divisions of time, not planets or festivals.

Yaad rakhein: The chariot is pulled by 7 horses (7 days of the week); Konark is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Answer: (A) Time divisions

अवधारणा: मंदिर को सूर्य देव के रथ के रूप में बनाया गया है, जिसके पहिए समय दर्शाते हैं।

  1. कोणार्क (ओडिशा) 13वीं सदी में पूर्वी गंग वंश के राजा नरसिंहदेव प्रथम ने बनवाया।
  2. 24 नक्काशीदार पहिए धूपघड़ी की तरह काम करते हैं – तीलियों की छाया से समय पता चलता है।
  3. इसलिए ये समय के विभाजन के प्रतीक हैं।

याद रखें: रथ को 7 घोड़े खींचते हैं (सप्ताह के 7 दिन); कोणार्क यूनेस्को विश्व धरोहर स्थल है।

उत्तर: (A) समय के विभाजन

  3. 4.2 ÷ 0.12 = 420 ÷ 12 = 35.

Trick: 4.8 ÷ 0.12 = 40 first, then 7/8 × 40 = 35.
