Sample questions from this paper

Q1.
Identify the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error.
A. The jury, B. after a long period of intense deliberation, C. were united in its verdict D. to convict the man, which shocked the public.
  1. AThe jury
  2. Bafter a long period of intense deliberation
  3. Cwere united in its verdict
  4. Dto convict the man, which shocked the public.
Show answer

Concept: A collective noun acting as one unit takes a singular verb and a singular pronoun.

  1. Clue in part C: 'its verdict' (singular pronoun) and 'united' – the jury acts as one body.
  2. So the verb must agree: 'were' → 'was'.
  3. Correct: The jury ... was united in its verdict ...

Trick: Verb and pronoun must point the same way – 'its' (singular) cannot sit with 'were' (plural).

Answer: (C) were united in its verdict

अवधारणा: जब collective noun (jury, team, committee) एक इकाई की तरह काम करे, तो verb और pronoun दोनों singular होते हैं।

  1. Part C में 'its verdict' और 'united' बताते हैं कि jury एक साथ, एक इकाई है।
  2. इसलिए plural 'were' गलत है; 'was' आएगा।
  3. सही वाक्य: The jury ... was united in its verdict ...

ट्रिक: 'its' (singular) के साथ 'were' (plural) नहीं चल सकता – दोनों का वचन एक जैसा होना चाहिए।

उत्तर: (C) were united in its verdict

Q26.
Find the odd one out:
9, 16, 25, 36, 41, 49
विषम को पहचानिए:
9, 16, 25, 36, 41, 49
  1. A25
  2. B36
  3. C41
  4. D49
Show answer

Concept: Most numbers in the list are perfect squares; find the one that is not.

  1. 9 = 3², 16 = 4², 25 = 5², 36 = 6², 49 = 7².
  2. 41 lies between 36 (6²) and 49 (7²) – not a square.

Trick: A perfect square never ends in 2, 3, 7 or 8 – but when the last digit doesn't help, just check squares 1–10 from memory.

Answer: (C) 41

अवधारणा: सूची की अधिकतर संख्याएँ पूर्ण वर्ग हैं; जो नहीं है वही विषम है।

  1. 9 = 3², 16 = 4², 25 = 5², 36 = 6², 49 = 7²।
  2. 41, 36 और 49 के बीच है – पूर्ण वर्ग नहीं।

ट्रिक: 1 से 10 तक के वर्ग याद रखें – 41 उनमें नहीं आता।

उत्तर: (C) 41

Q51.
If a is irrational and b is irrational, then a+b is:
यदि a अपरिमेय है और b अपरिमेय है, तो a+b है:
  1. AAlways irrationalसदैव अपरिमेय
  2. BAlways rationalसदैव परिमेय
  3. CRational if a=−bपरिमेय, यदि a=−b
  4. DNever rationalकभी भी परिमेय नहीं
Show answer

Concept: Irrational numbers are not closed under addition – the sum can be rational or irrational.

  1. √2 + √3 is irrational.
  2. Pick b = −√2: then √2 + (−√2) = 0 – a rational result.
  3. Hence a + b becomes rational when a = −b; A, B, D fail.

Trick: For 'always/never' options, one counter-example is enough to reject them.

Answer: (C) Rational if a=−b

अवधारणा: अपरिमेय संख्याएँ जोड़ पर संवृत (closed) नहीं हैं – योग परिमेय भी हो सकता है।

  1. √2 + √3 अपरिमेय है।
  2. पर √2 + (−√2) = 0 परिमेय है।
  3. अतः a = −b होने पर योग परिमेय है।

ट्रिक: 'हमेशा/कभी नहीं' वाले विकल्प को एक उलटे उदाहरण से हटाएँ।

उत्तर: (C) परिमेय, यदि a=−b
