Sample questions from this paper

Q1.
Which sentence is grammatically correct?
  1. ANeither of the boys are misbehaving.
  2. BEveryone is deeply concerned about the deteriorating air quality.
  3. CMany a man has sacrificed for the safety of this nation.
  4. DThe number of emigrants has reduced significantly.
Show answer

Concept: 'Neither of + plural noun' takes a singular verb.

  1. Sentence (A) uses 'are' after 'Neither of the boys' – wrong; it should be 'Neither of the boys is misbehaving'.
  2. (B) 'Everyone is' ✔ – indefinite pronoun is singular. (C) 'Many a man has' ✔ – always singular. (D) 'The number of … has' ✔ – head word 'number' is singular.
  3. So (A) is the only faulty sentence; the keyed answer marks this sentence (the question should read 'grammatically incorrect').

Trick: Neither / Either / Each / Every / Many a / The number of → singular verb; 'A number of' → plural verb.

Answer: (A) Neither of the boys are misbehaving.

अवधारणा: 'Neither of + plural noun' के साथ singular verb आता है।

  1. (A) में 'Neither of the boys' के बाद 'are' गलत है; सही: 'Neither of the boys is misbehaving'.
  2. (B) Everyone is ✔, (C) Many a man has ✔, (D) The number of … has ✔ – तीनों में singular कर्ता के साथ singular verb है।
  3. इसलिए केवल (A) में त्रुटि है; उत्तर-कुंजी इसी वाक्य को चुनती है (प्रश्न वास्तव में 'incorrect' वाक्य पूछ रहा है)।

ट्रिक: Neither/Either/Each/Every/Many a/The number of → singular verb; 'A number of' → plural verb.

उत्तर: (A) Neither of the boys are misbehaving.

Q26.
In a certain code language, if NOTEBOOK is written as KOOBETON, HEADPHONE is written as ENOHPDAEH, and RAINBOW is written as WOBNIAR, then according to this coding pattern, how would NEWSPAPER be coded in the same language system?
एक निश्चित कूट भाषा में, यदि NOTEBOOK को KOOBETON लिखा जाता है, HEADPHONE को ENOHPDAEH लिखा जाता है तथा RAINBOW को WOBNIAR लिखा जाता है, तो इसी कूट पद्धति के अनुसार उसी भाषा में NEWSPAPER को किस प्रकार कूटबद्ध किया जाएगा?
  1. AREPASPWEN
  2. BREPAPSWEN
  3. CREPAPWSEN
  4. DREPAPSNWE
Show answer

Concept: Each word is coded by writing its letters in reverse order.

  1. RAINBOW → W O B N I A R (read from the end) ✔ – rule confirmed.
  2. NEWSPAPER read backwards: R E P A P S W E N.
  3. Code = REPAPSWEN.

Trick: Check only the middle letters: NEWS reversed is SWEN – only option (B) ends in 'SWEN'.

Answer: (B) REPAPSWEN

अवधारणा: हर शब्द को उल्टे क्रम में लिखकर कोड बनाया गया है।

  1. RAINBOW → W O B N I A R ✔ – नियम पक्का।
  2. NEWSPAPER को अंत से पढ़ें: R E P A P S W E N।
  3. कोड = REPAPSWEN।

ट्रिक: NEWS उल्टा = SWEN; केवल (B) 'SWEN' पर खत्म होता है।

उत्तर: (B) REPAPSWEN

Q51.
A shopkeeper sells an article at a discount of 15%. Had he given only a 7% discount, he would have earned ₹768 more as profit. If the cost price of the article is ₹3,000, then find the marked price.
एक दुकानदार एक वस्तु को 15% की छूट पर बेचता है। यदि उसने केवल 7% की छूट दी होती, तो उसे ₹768 अधिक लाभ प्राप्त होता। यदि वस्तु का क्रय मूल्य ₹3,000 है, तो अंकित मूल्य ज्ञात कीजिए।
  1. A₹9,600
  2. B₹6,900
  3. C₹7,600
  4. D₹5,600
Show answer

Concept: CP is fixed, so any change in SP equals the change in profit; discount is on MP.

  1. Difference in discount = 15% − 7% = 8% of MP.
  2. 8% of MP = ₹768 → MP = 768 × 100/8 = ₹9,600.
  3. CP (₹3,000) is not needed.

Trick: 1% of MP = 768 ÷ 8 = 96 → MP = 9,600.

Answer: (A) ₹9,600

अवधारणा: CP स्थिर है, अतः SP में अंतर = लाभ में अंतर; छूट MP पर होती है।

  1. छूट का अंतर = 15% − 7% = MP का 8%।
  2. MP का 8% = ₹768 → MP = 768 × 100/8 = ₹9,600।
  3. CP (₹3,000) की आवश्यकता नहीं।

ट्रिक: MP का 1% = 768 ÷ 8 = 96 → MP = 9,600।

उत्तर: (A) ₹9,600
