  1. AApartment 2B, Green Towers, Nungambakkam, Karnatka, Bangalore - 560001
  2. BApartment 2B, Green Towers, Nungambakkam, Karnataka, Bangalore - 560001

  4. DApartment 2B, Green Towers, Nungambakam, Karnataka, Bangalore - 560001
Show answer

Concept: Check every word, spelling and number of the given address against each option.

  1. Given parts: Green Towers, Nungambakkam, Karnataka, 560001.
  2. (A) has 'Karnatka' – letter 'a' missing.
  3. (C) has 'Green Tower' – final 's' missing; (D) has 'Nungambakam' – one 'k' missing.
  4. Only (B) matches word for word.

Trick: Compare the long, tricky words first (place names) – most errors hide there.

Answer: (B) Apartment 2B, Green Towers, Nungambakkam, Karnataka, Bangalore - 560001

अवधारणा: दिए गए पते के हर शब्द, वर्तनी और अंक को विकल्पों से मिलाना है।

हल:

  1. (A) में 'Karnatka' – एक 'a' कम है।
  2. (C) में 'Tower' – अंत का 's' गायब है।
  3. (D) में 'Nungambakam' – एक 'k' कम है।
  4. केवल (B) पूरी तरह समान है।

ट्रिक: पहले लंबे नाम (शहर/मोहल्ला) जाँचें – गलती अक्सर वहीं होती है।

उत्तर: (B) Apartment 2B, Green Towers, Nungambakkam, Karnataka, Bangalore - 560001

Q26.

  4. DPrivate Satellite Launch Vehicleप्राइवेट सैटेलाइट लॉन्च व्हीकल
Show answer

Concept: Full forms of ISRO's launch vehicles.

  1. PSLV = Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, ISRO's reliable 'workhorse' rocket.
  2. It is designed to place satellites in polar / sun-synchronous orbits; it also launched Chandrayaan-1 (2008) and Mangalyaan (2013).

Yaad rakhein: GSLV = Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle – used for heavier satellites to geosynchronous orbit.

Answer: (A) Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle

अवधारणा: इसरो के प्रक्षेपण यानों के पूर्ण रूप।

हल:

  1. PSLV = Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle – इसरो का भरोसेमंद 'workhorse' रॉकेट।
  2. यह उपग्रहों को ध्रुवीय/सूर्य-तुल्यकालिक कक्षा में भेजता है; चंद्रयान-1 और मंगलयान भी इसी से गए।

याद रखें: GSLV = Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle – भारी उपग्रहों को भू-तुल्यकालिक कक्षा में भेजता है।

उत्तर: (A) Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle

Q51.
What will be the amount to be paid at the end of 5 years on ₹4,000 at 20% per annum compounded annually?
₹4,000 पर 20% वार्षिक चक्रवृद्धि दर से 5 वर्ष बाद कितनी राशि चुकानी होगी?
  1. A₹9,265.3
  2. B₹9,545.3
  3. C₹9,953.2
  4. D₹9,145.3
Show answer

Concept: A = P(1 + r/100)n.

  1. 20% = 1/5, so each year the multiplier is 6/5 = 1.2.
  2. 1.25 = 1.44 × 1.44 × 1.2 = 2.48832.
  3. A = 4000 × 2.48832 = ₹9,953.28 ≈ ₹9,953.2.

Trick: Only (C) is close to 4000 × 2.5 = 10,000 from below – pick it without full multiplication.

Answer: (C) ₹9,953.2

अवधारणा: मिश्रधन A = P(1 + r/100)n।

हल:

  1. 20% = 1/5, अतः हर साल गुणक 6/5 = 1.2
  2. 1.25 = 1.44 × 1.44 × 1.2 = 2.48832
  3. A = 4000 × 2.48832 = ₹9,953.28 ≈ ₹9,953.2

ट्रिक: 4000 × 2.5 = 10,000 से थोड़ा कम वाला विकल्प (C) ही है – पूरा गुणा ज़रूरी नहीं।

उत्तर: (C) ₹9,953.2

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 allows them to save and invest wisely for the future.
2. Consequently, they can achieve long-term financial security and peace of mind.
3. Effective financial planning starts with creating a detailed monthly budget.
4. By tracking income and expenses, individuals can understand where their money is going.
  1. A3-2-4-1
  2. B3-4-1-2
  3. C4-1-3-2
  4. D3-1-4-2
Show answer

Concept: Start with the general/topic sentence, then follow link words (This, Consequently).

  1. 3 opens the topic: planning begins with a monthly budget.
  2. 4 tells how the budget helps (tracking income and expenses).
  3. 1 'This allows them…' refers back to that tracking; 2 'Consequently…' gives the final result.

Trick: 'Consequently' almost always marks the concluding sentence – put 2 last, then only (B) fits.

Answer: (B) 3-4-1-2

अवधारणा: पहले विषय बताने वाला वाक्य, फिर जोड़ने वाले शब्द (This, Consequently) देखें।

हल:

  1. 3 विषय शुरू करता है – बजट बनाना।
  2. 4 बताता है कि आय-व्यय ट्रैक करने से क्या समझ आता है।
  3. 1 'This allows them…' पिछले वाक्य से जुड़ता है; 2 'Consequently…' अंतिम परिणाम है।

ट्रिक: 'Consequently' वाला वाक्य प्रायः अंत में आता है – 2 को अंत में रखें, केवल (B) बचता है।

उत्तर: (B) 3-4-1-2
