Show answer

Concept: After 'It is essential/necessary/vital that…', the verb stays in its base form for every subject.

  1. Subject 'she' tempts us to write 'prepares', but this pattern ignores the usual -s.
  2. Correct part B: prepare for the upcoming interview.
  3. Part C 'that she makes' should likewise be 'make'; the error marked in the key is part B.

Trick: See 'essential / important / imperative / suggest / insist + that' → write V1 with no -s, no 'should' needed.

Answer: (B) prepares for the upcoming interview

अवधारणा: 'It is essential that…' जैसे वाक्यों में that के बाद क्रिया हमेशा base form (V1) में आती है, subject चाहे कोई भी हो।

हल:

  1. 'she' देखकर 'prepares' लिखना स्वाभाविक लगता है, पर इस structure में -s नहीं लगता।
  2. सही भाग B: prepare for the upcoming interview।
  3. भाग C में भी 'make' होना चाहिए; key के अनुसार त्रुटि भाग B में है।

ट्रिक: essential / important / suggest / insist + that → बिना -s वाली V1 क्रिया।

उत्तर: (B) prepares for the upcoming interview

Q26.
A mixture contains acid and water in the ratio of 5:2. If the quantity of water in the mixture is 12 liters, what is the total quantity of the mixture ?
एक मिश्रण में अम्ल तथा जल का अनुपात 5:2 है। यदि मिश्रण में जल की मात्रा 12 लीटर है, तो मिश्रण की कुल मात्रा कितनी है?
  1. A35 liters35 लीटर
  2. B40 liters40 लीटर
  3. C42 liters42 लीटर
  4. D50 liters50 लीटर
Show answer

Concept: If a ratio is a : b, total = (a + b) parts.

  1. Water = 2 parts = 12 L → 1 part = 6 L.
  2. Total parts = 5 + 2 = 7.
  3. Mixture = 7 × 6 = 42 L.

Trick: Total must be a multiple of 7 (sum of ratio) — only 42 qualifies among 35, 40, 42, 50 with water = 12.

Answer: (C) 42 liters

अवधारणा: अनुपात a : b हो तो कुल = (a + b) भाग।

हल:

  1. जल = 2 भाग = 12 L → 1 भाग = 6 L।
  2. कुल भाग = 5 + 2 = 7।
  3. मिश्रण = 7 × 6 = 42 L।

ट्रिक: कुल मात्रा 7 का गुणज होगी और जल 2/7 भाग = 12; 42 × 2/7 = 12 ✔।

उत्तर: (C) 42 liters

Q51.
A trader sells two articles at ₹840 each. On one, he gains 25%, and on the other, he loses 25%. What is his overall profit or loss percentage?
एक व्यापारी दो वस्तुओं में से प्रत्येक को ₹840 में बेचता है। एक पर उसे 25% का लाभ होता है तथा दूसरी पर 25% की हानि होती है। उसका कुल लाभ या हानि प्रतिशत क्या है?
  1. A6.25% Profit6.25% लाभ
  2. B6.25% Loss6.25% हानि
  3. C5% Profit5% लाभ
  4. D5% Loss5% हानि
Show answer

Concept: Same selling price with x% gain on one and x% loss on the other always gives a net loss.

  1. CP₁ = 840 × 100/125 = ₹672; CP₂ = 840 × 100/75 = ₹1120.
  2. Total CP = ₹1792, total SP = ₹1680 → loss ₹112.
  3. Loss% = 112/1792 × 100 = 6.25%.

Trick: Net loss% = x²/100 = 25²/100 = 6.25% — no need to find CPs.

Answer: (B) 6.25% Loss

अवधारणा: SP समान हो और एक पर x% लाभ, दूसरी पर x% हानि हो तो कुल मिलाकर हमेशा हानि होती है।

हल:

  1. CP₁ = 840 × 100/125 = ₹672; CP₂ = 840 × 100/75 = ₹1120।
  2. कुल CP = ₹1792, कुल SP = ₹1680 → हानि ₹112।
  3. हानि% = 112/1792 × 100 = 6.25%।

ट्रिक: हानि% = x²/100 = 625/100 = 6.25% — CP निकालने की ज़रूरत नहीं।

उत्तर: (B) 6.25% Loss

SSC CHSLQuantitative AptitudeProfit & loss – same SP, equal gain and loss %

Show answer

Concept: Local government and co-operatives have separate Parts in the Constitution.

  1. Part IX (Art. 243–243O) = Panchayats, added by the 73rd Amendment, 1992 → I correct.
  2. Part IXB (Art. 243ZH–243ZT) = Co-operative Societies, added by the 97th Amendment, 2011 → II correct.

Trick: IX → IXA → IXB = Panchayat → Municipality → Co-operative (P-M-C order).

Answer: (C) Both I and II

अवधारणा: स्थानीय शासन और सहकारी समितियों के लिए संविधान में अलग भाग हैं।

हल:

  1. भाग IX (अनु. 243–243O) = पंचायतें, 73वाँ संशोधन 1992 → कथन I सही।
  2. भाग IXB (अनु. 243ZH–243ZT) = सहकारी समितियाँ, 97वाँ संशोधन 2011 → कथन II सही।

ट्रिक: IX → IXA → IXB = पंचायत → नगरपालिका → सहकारी (P-M-C क्रम)।
