Sample questions from this paper

Q1.
Choose the address that is the same as the one given below.
Sample Address: D.No. 4-98, Krishna Colony, Guntur, Uttar Pradesh - 422001
नीचे दिए गए पते के समान पता चुनिए।
नमूना पता: D.No. 4-98, Krishna Colony, Guntur, Uttar Pradesh - 422001
  1. AD. No. 4-98, Krishna Colony, Guntur, Uttar Pradesh - 422002

  4. DD.No. 4-98, Krishna Colony, Guntur, Uttar Pradesh - 422001
Show answer

Concept: Compare door number, spelling and PIN code part by part.

  1. (A) PIN 422002 differs and 'D. No.' has an extra space.
  2. (B) door no. reversed to 4-89; PIN has 7 digits.
  3. (C) 'Krushna' spelling changed.
  4. (D) every part is identical.

Trick: Check the PIN first, then the number, then spellings — most fakes fail at the PIN.

Answer: (D) D.No. 4-98, Krishna Colony, Guntur, Uttar Pradesh - 422001

अवधारणा: दरवाज़ा नंबर, वर्तनी और PIN कोड को टुकड़ों में मिलाइए।

  1. (A) में PIN 422002 है।
  2. (B) में 4-89 लिखा है और PIN 7 अंकों का है।
  3. (C) में 'Krushna' वर्तनी बदली है।
  4. (D) हर हिस्सा हूबहू समान है।

ट्रिक: पहले PIN, फिर नंबर, फिर वर्तनी जाँचें — अधिकतर गलत विकल्प PIN पर ही पकड़े जाते हैं।

उत्तर: (D) D.No. 4-98, Krishna Colony, Guntur, Uttar Pradesh - 422001

Q51.
What is the simplified value of: 0.0250523²+6²−64
सरल मान ज्ञात कीजिए: 0.0250523²+6²−64
  1. A5 × 10⁻⁵
  2. B3 × 10⁻⁵
  3. C2.4 × 10⁻⁴
  4. D3 × 10⁻⁴
Show answer

Concept: Simplify the denominator first, then divide and write in scientific form.

  1. Expression = 0.02505 ÷ (23² + 6² − 64)
  2. 23² = 529, 6² = 36 → 529 + 36 − 64 = 501
  3. 0.02505 ÷ 501 = 0.00005 = 5 × 10⁻⁵

Trick: Notice 2505 = 5 × 501 — the 501 cancels at sight.

Answer: (A) 5 × 10⁻⁵

अवधारणा: पहले हर (denominator) सरल करें, फिर भाग देकर घातांक रूप में लिखें।

  1. व्यंजक = 0.02505 ÷ (23² + 6² − 64)
  2. 529 + 36 − 64 = 501
  3. 0.02505 ÷ 501 = 0.00005 = 5 × 10⁻⁵

ट्रिक: 2505 = 5 × 501 — 501 तुरंत कट जाता है।

उत्तर: (A) 5 × 10⁻⁵
