A. He apologized of B. his mistake and promised C. that he would be more D. careful in the future.
  1. AHe apologised of
  2. Bhis mistake and promised
  3. Cthat he would be more
  4. Dcareful in the future
Show answer

Concept: 'Apologise' is followed by 'to' for the person and 'for' for the fault.

  1. Part A has 'apologised of' – 'of' never follows apologise.
  2. Correct form: He apologised for his mistake.
  3. Parts B, C, D (promised that he would be more careful in the future) are error-free.

Trick: Apologise to a person, for a thing – remember 'to-for'.

Answer: (A) He apologised of

अवधारणा: 'Apologise' के बाद व्यक्ति के लिए 'to' और गलती के लिए 'for' आता है।

  1. Part A में 'apologised of' लिखा है – यह गलत preposition है।
  2. सही रूप: He apologised for his mistake.
  3. बाकी भाग B, C, D व्याकरण की दृष्टि से सही हैं।

ट्रिक: Apologise to किसी व्यक्ति से, for किसी गलती के लिए – 'to-for' याद रखें।

उत्तर: (A) He apologised of

Q26.
If COHERENCE is coded as FRKHUHQFH, then what would EVENNESS be?
यदि COHERENCE को FRKHUHQFH के रूप में कूटबद्ध किया जाता है, तो EVENNESS को किस रूप में कूटबद्ध किया जाएगा?
  1. AHYHQQHVV
  2. BHYIQQHVV
  3. CHYHQQHVU
  4. DHYHQQHUV
Show answer

Concept: Find the fixed shift between each letter and its code letter.

  1. C(3)→F(6), O(15)→R(18), H(8)→K(11): every letter +3.
  2. Apply +3 letter-wise to EVENNESS → H Y H Q Q H V V.
  3. Code = HYHQQHVV.

Trick: Repeated letters get repeated codes: EVENNESS has E at 1, 3, 6 → H at those places and SS → VV. Only A fits.

Answer: (A) HYHQQHVV

अवधारणा: हर अक्षर और उसके code के बीच का स्थिर अंतर खोजें।

  1. C(3)→F(6), O(15)→R(18), H(8)→K(11): हर अक्षर +3।
  2. EVENNESS के हर अक्षर में +3 → H Y H Q Q H V V।
  3. Code = HYHQQHVV।

ट्रिक: एक जैसे अक्षरों का code भी एक जैसा: SS → VV और E की जगह हर बार H – केवल A सही बैठता है।

उत्तर: (A) HYHQQHVV

Q51.
P, Q, and R enter into a partnership. P invests Rs. 1,00,000,Q invests Rs. 80,000, and R invests Rs. 60,000. After 6 months, Q increases his capital by 20%, while R decreases his capital by 20%. At the end of 1 year, the total profit is Rs .
1,40,000. What is R's share in the profit? (approximate value)
P, Q और R एक साझेदारी में प्रवेश करते हैं। P, Rs. 1,00,000,Q Rs. 80,000 निवेश करता है, तथा R, Rs. 60,000 निवेश करता है। 6 माह बाद, Q अपनी पूँजी में 20% की वृद्धि कर देता है, जबकि R अपनी पूँजी में 20% की कमी कर देता है। 1 वर्ष के अंत में, कुल लाभ Rs .
1,40,000 है। लाभ में R का हिस्सा कितना है? (सन्निकट मान)
  1. A₹50,000
  2. B₹31,240
  3. C₹40,000
  4. D₹65,780
Show answer

Concept: Profit is shared in the ratio of capital × time (month-equivalents).

  1. P: 1,00,000 × 12 = 12,00,000.
  2. Q: 80,000 × 6 + 96,000 × 6 = 10,56,000 (80,000 + 20%).
  3. R: 60,000 × 6 + 48,000 × 6 = 6,48,000 (60,000 − 20%).
  4. Ratio (÷ 24,000) = 50 : 44 : 27; total 121.
  5. R = 1,40,000 × 27/121 ≈ ₹31,240.

Trick: For equal halves, just add the two capitals: P 200, Q 80+96 = 176, R 60+48 = 108 (in thousands) → 50 : 44 : 27.

Answer: (B) ₹31,240

अवधारणा: लाभ का बँटवारा (पूँजी × समय) के अनुपात में होता है।

  1. P: 1,00,000 × 12 = 12,00,000।
  2. Q: 80,000 × 6 + 96,000 × 6 = 10,56,000 (20% वृद्धि)।
  3. R: 60,000 × 6 + 48,000 × 6 = 6,48,000 (20% कमी)।
  4. अनुपात (÷ 24,000) = 50 : 44 : 27; योग 121।
  5. R = 1,40,000 × 27/121 ≈ ₹31,240।

ट्रिक: दोनों हिस्से 6-6 महीने हैं, तो पूँजियाँ जोड़ें: P 200, Q 176, R 108 (हज़ार में) → 50 : 44 : 27।

उत्तर: (B) ₹31,240
