Sample questions from this paper

Q1.
Identify the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error.
A. The meal, B. which she cooked, C. was tasty and D. a nicely treat.
  1. AThe meal,
  2. Bwhich she cooked,
  3. Cwas tasty and
  4. Da nicely treat.
Show answer

Concept: A noun is qualified by an adjective; an adverb (-ly word) cannot sit before a noun.

  1. 'treat' here is a noun (a pleasant thing).
  2. 'nicely' is an adverb, so 'a nicely treat' is wrong.
  3. Correct form: a nice treat. Parts A, B, C are fine.

Trick: Ask 'what kind of treat?' – the answer must be an adjective (nice), not 'nicely'.

Answer: (D) a nicely treat.

अवधारणा: संज्ञा (noun) की विशेषता adjective बताता है, -ly वाला adverb नहीं।

  1. 'treat' यहाँ noun है (एक अच्छी चीज़)।
  2. 'nicely' adverb है, इसलिए 'a nicely treat' गलत है।
  3. सही रूप: a nice treat। A, B, C भाग सही हैं।

ट्रिक: पूछें 'कैसा treat?' – जवाब adjective (nice) होगा, 'nicely' नहीं।

उत्तर: (D) a nicely treat.

Q26.
If CABBAGES is coded as FDEEDJHV, how will DELICATA be writen:
यदि CABBAGES को FDEEDJHV के रूप में कूटबद्ध किया जाता है, तो DELICATA को किस प्रकार लिखा जाएगा:
  1. AGHOLFDWD
  2. BGHOLGDWD
  3. CGHOLFDWE
  4. DGHOLFDVD
Show answer

Concept: Each letter is shifted by a fixed number of places.

  1. C(3) → F(6), A(1) → D(4), S(19) → V(22): every letter +3.
  2. Apply +3 to DELICATA in two halves: DELI → GHOL, CATA → FDWD.
  3. Code = GHOLFDWD.

Trick: Check just the 5th and 7th letters (C→F, T→W): only (A) has both F and W in place.

Answer: (A) GHOLFDWD

अवधारणा: हर अक्षर एक निश्चित संख्या आगे खिसकाया गया है।

  1. C(3) → F(6), A(1) → D(4), S(19) → V(22): हर अक्षर +3।
  2. DELICATA पर +3 दो हिस्सों में: DELI → GHOL, CATA → FDWD।
  3. कोड = GHOLFDWD।

ट्रिक: सिर्फ़ 5वाँ और 7वाँ अक्षर जाँचें (C→F, T→W): दोनों केवल (A) में सही हैं।

उत्तर: (A) GHOLFDWD

Q51.
A person sells a product at a profit of 8%. If he had bought it for 12% less and sold it for ₹36 less, he would have gained 20%. Find the cost price of the product.
एक व्यक्ति एक वस्तु को 8% लाभ पर बेचता है। यदि उसने उसे 12% कम कीमत पर खरीदा होता और ₹36 कम में बेचा होता, तो उसे 20% का लाभ होता। वस्तु का क्रय मूल्य ज्ञात कीजिए।
  1. A₹1200
  2. B₹1300
  3. C₹1400
  4. D₹1500
Show answer

Concept: Form one equation using the new CP and new SP.

  1. Let CP = 100x. Original SP = 108x.
  2. New CP = 88x; new SP at 20% gain = 1.2 × 88x = 105.6x.
  3. Difference in SP = 108x − 105.6x = 2.4x = ₹36 → x = 15.
  4. CP = 100 × 15 = ₹1500.

Trick: Option check: 8% of 1500 = 120 → SP 1620; 88% of 1500 = 1320, +20% = 1584; 1620 − 1584 = 36 ✓.

Answer: (D) ₹1500

अवधारणा: नए क्रय मूल्य और नए विक्रय मूल्य से एक समीकरण बनाएँ।

  1. माना CP = 100x। मूल SP = 108x।
  2. नया CP = 88x; 20% लाभ पर नया SP = 1.2 × 88x = 105.6x।
  3. SP का अंतर = 108x − 105.6x = 2.4x = ₹36 → x = 15।
  4. CP = 100 × 15 = ₹1500।

ट्रिक: विकल्प जाँच: 1500 का 108% = 1620; 1320 का 120% = 1584; अंतर 36 ✓।

उत्तर: (D) ₹1500
