Sample questions from this paper

Q1.
If each letter is coded as its position in reverse (Z = 1, Y = 2, …, A = 26), what is TOAD?
यदि प्रत्येक अक्षर को उसके उल्टे क्रम के स्थान से कूटबद्ध किया जाए (Z = 1, Y = 2, …, A = 26), तो TOAD का कूट क्या होगा?
  1. A7, 12, 25, 23
  2. B7, 12, 26, 23
  3. C9, 13, 24, 23
  4. D9, 12, 26, 22
Show answer

Concept: In reverse order, a letter's value = 27 − its normal position.

  1. T = 20 → 27 − 20 = 7
  2. O = 15 → 27 − 15 = 12
  3. A = 1 → 26; D = 4 → 23
  4. TOAD → 7, 12, 26, 23

Trick: A must be 26 (the last value) — only option (b) has 26 in third place with 7, 12.

Answer: (B) 7, 12, 26, 23

अवधारणा: उल्टे क्रम में किसी अक्षर का मान = 27 − उसका सामान्य स्थान।

  1. T = 20 → 27 − 20 = 7
  2. O = 15 → 12
  3. A = 1 → 26, D = 4 → 23
  4. TOAD = 7, 12, 26, 23

ट्रिक: उल्टे क्रम में A हमेशा 26 होगा — तीसरे स्थान पर 26 वाला विकल्प सीधे चुनें।

उत्तर: (B) 7, 12, 26, 23

Q26.
In the architectural design of the Notre Dame des Anges Church located in Puducherry, which distinct feature stands out?
पुदुचेरी स्थित नोत्र दाम देस आंजेस चर्च की स्थापत्य रचना में कौन-सी विशिष्टता उभरकर आती है?
  1. AShikhara crowned with an amalakaआमलक युक्त शिखर
  2. BTransparent façade supported by classical piersशास्त्रीय स्तंभों पर टिका पारदर्शी अग्रभाग
  3. CMinaret structure featuring a balconyबालकनी युक्त मीनार संरचना
  4. DCorbelled arch adorned with lattice patternsजालीदार अलंकरण वाला कोर्बेल मेहराब
Show answer

Concept: Match the building's architectural style with its typical features.

  1. Notre Dame des Anges (built 1855) is a French-era church in Puducherry in Greco-Roman style.
  2. Its front is light and open, resting on classical pillars/piers.
  3. Shikhara with amalaka = Nagara Hindu temple; minaret and lattice-work arches = Indo-Islamic.

Trick: A European church will show classical (Greek/Roman) elements — drop the temple and mosque features.

Answer: (B) Transparent façade supported by classical piers

अवधारणा: इमारत की शैली को उसकी विशिष्ट बनावट से मिलाएँ।

  1. नोट्र डैम डेस एंजेस (1855) पुदुचेरी का फ्रांसीसी काल का चर्च है, ग्रीको-रोमन शैली में।
  2. इसका अग्रभाग हल्का-खुला है और शास्त्रीय स्तंभों पर टिका है।
  3. आमलक वाला शिखर = नागर मंदिर; मीनार व जाली = इंडो-इस्लामी शैली।

ट्रिक: यूरोपीय चर्च में शास्त्रीय (ग्रीक/रोमन) तत्व होंगे — मंदिर व मस्जिद वाले विकल्प हटाएँ।

उत्तर: (B) शास्त्रीय स्तंभों पर टिका पारदर्शी अग्रभाग

Q51.
Simplify: (2.8 + 5.125) × 0.45 − (0.90 ÷ 0.3)
सरल कीजिए: (2.8 + 5.125) × 0.45 − (0.90 ÷ 0.3)
  1. A0.566
  2. B0.11875
  3. C2.8756
  4. D−2.8756
Show answer

Concept: Solve brackets first, then × / ÷, then −.

  1. First bracket: 5.125 + 2.8 = 7.925
  2. 0.45 × 7.925 = 3.56625
  3. Second bracket: 0.9 ÷ 0.3 = 3
  4. Result: 0.56625 ≈ 0.566

Trick: 7.925 × 0.45 is a bit above 3.5, minus 3 gives about 0.5–0.6 — only 0.566 fits.

Answer: (A) 0.566

अवधारणा: पहले कोष्ठक, फिर × / ÷, फिर −।

  1. पहला कोष्ठक: 5.125 + 2.8 = 7.925
  2. 0.45 × 7.925 = 3.56625
  3. दूसरा कोष्ठक: 0.9 ÷ 0.3 = 3
  4. परिणाम: 0.56625 ≈ 0.566

ट्रिक: 7.925 × 0.45 ≈ 3.5+; 3 घटाने पर लगभग 0.5–0.6 — केवल 0.566।

उत्तर: (A) 0.566

Q76.
The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them contains an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.
The fishermen caught many fishes (1)/ from the lake yesterday (2)/ and sold them in the market (3)/ at a good price. (4)
  1. A(1)
  2. B(2)
  3. C(3)
  4. D(4)
Show answer

Concept: 'Fish' is its own plural; 'fishes' is used only for different species.

  1. Here one kind of catch is meant, so the plural stays 'fish'.
  2. Correct part (1): 'The fishermen caught many fish'.

Yaad rakhein: Same-form plurals: fish, sheep, deer, aircraft, series.

Answer: (A) (1)

अवधारणा: 'Fish' का बहुवचन भी 'fish' होता है; 'fishes' केवल अलग-अलग प्रजातियों के लिए।

  1. यहाँ प्रजातियों की बात नहीं, केवल पकड़ी गई मछलियाँ हैं।
  2. सही भाग (1): 'The fishermen caught many fish'।

याद रखें: एक जैसे एकवचन-बहुवचन: fish, sheep, deer, aircraft, series।

उत्तर: (A) (1)
