Sample questions from this paper

Q1.
Identify the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error.
A. The ancient manuscript's fragile pages
B. were carefully handled, but it's binding
C. had deteriorated significantly
D. over the centuries.
  1. AThe ancient manuscript's fragile pages
  2. Bwere carefully handled, but it's binding
  3. Chad deteriorated significantly
  4. Dover the centuries.
Show answer

Concept: 'It's' = it is / it has; ownership is shown by 'its' (no apostrophe).

  1. Part B: 'but it's binding' would mean 'but it is binding' – meaningless here.
  2. The binding belongs to the manuscript, so a possessive is needed: 'but its binding had deteriorated'.
  3. A, C and D are grammatically fine.

Trick: Expand the apostrophe word: if 'it is' does not fit, write 'its'.

Answer: (B) were carefully handled, but it's binding

अवधारणा: 'It's' का अर्थ है it is / it has; स्वामित्व (possession) दिखाने के लिए 'its' लिखते हैं, apostrophe के बिना।

  1. भाग B में 'it's binding' = 'it is binding' – वाक्य में अर्थ नहीं बनता।
  2. Binding manuscript की है, इसलिए possessive चाहिए: 'but its binding'।
  3. बाकी भाग सही हैं।

ट्रिक: Apostrophe वाले शब्द को खोलकर पढ़ें – 'it is' न बैठे तो 'its' सही है।

उत्तर: (B) were carefully handled, but it's binding

Q26.
A sum of money is to be distributed among A,B, and C in the ratio of 4:8:9. If B receives ₹ 1600 , what is the total sum of money?
एक धनराशि को A,B, तथा C के बीच 4:8:9 के अनुपात में बाँटा जाना है। यदि B को ₹ 1600 प्राप्त होते हैं, तो कुल धनराशि कितनी है?
  1. A₹3200
  2. B₹3700
  3. C₹4200
  4. D₹4600
Show answer

Concept: Total = (one share ÷ its ratio part) × sum of ratio parts.

  1. Ratio parts: 4 + 8 + 9 = 21.
  2. B's 8 parts = ₹1600 → 1 part = 1600/8 = ₹200.
  3. Total = 21 × 200 = ₹4200.

Trick: Total = 1600 × 21/8 = 200 × 21 = ₹4200 in one line.

Answer: (C) ₹4200

अवधारणा: कुल राशि = (एक व्यक्ति का हिस्सा ÷ उसका अनुपात भाग) × अनुपातों का योग।

  1. अनुपातों का योग = 4 + 8 + 9 = 21।
  2. B के 8 भाग = ₹1600 → 1 भाग = ₹200।
  3. कुल = 21 × 200 = ₹4200।

ट्रिक: कुल = 1600 × 21/8 = ₹4200।

उत्तर: (C) ₹4200

Q51.
A man purchased 3 identical electric fans at a total cost of ₹5,320. He sold two of them at a gain of 16% each and the third one at a loss of 12%. What is his overall profit or loss percentage?
एक व्यक्ति ने कुल ₹5,320 की लागत पर 3 एकसमान बिजली के पंखे खरीदे। उसने उनमें से दो को 16% के लाभ पर तथा तीसरे को 12% की हानि पर बेच दिया। उसका कुल लाभ या हानि प्रतिशत क्या है?
  1. A6% Profit6% लाभ
  2. B6.75% Profit6.75% लाभ
  3. C6.67% Profit6.67% लाभ
  4. D8% Profit8% लाभ
Show answer

Concept: For identical items, overall % = average of the individual gain/loss %.

  1. Gains/losses: +16%, +16%, −12%.
  2. Net = (16 + 16 − 12)/3 = 20/3 % = 6⅔% ≈ 6.67% profit.
  3. The total cost ₹5,320 is not needed.

Trick: Equal cost prices → simply average the percentages (loss taken as negative).

Answer: (C) 6.67% Profit

अवधारणा: समान वस्तुओं में कुल लाभ% = सभी लाभ/हानि % का औसत।

  1. लाभ/हानि: +16%, +16%, −12%।
  2. कुल = (16 + 16 − 12)/3 = 20/3 % ≈ 6.67% लाभ।
  3. कुल लागत ₹5,320 की ज़रूरत नहीं।

ट्रिक: क्रय मूल्य बराबर हो तो प्रतिशतों का सीधा औसत लें (हानि ऋणात्मक)।

उत्तर: (C) 6.67% लाभ
