Sample questions from this paper

Q1.
Select the most appropriate synonym of the word: Contract
  1. ADiminish
  2. BLessen
  3. CEnlarge
  4. DShrink
Show answer

Concept: 'Contract' as a verb = to get smaller; the question asks for the word linked to it as per the official key.

  1. Contract (v.) = shrink, reduce in size.
  2. Diminish, Lessen and Shrink all carry this 'become smaller' sense.
  3. Enlarge (grow bigger) is the only word of a different sense; the official key marks it.

Yaad rakhein: Diminish, Lessen and Shrink are true synonyms of Contract; Enlarge is actually its antonym. In the exam, follow the key only if options are meant as 'odd one'.

Answer: (C) Enlarge

अवधारणा: Verb 'Contract' का अर्थ है – सिकुड़ना, छोटा होना।

हल:

  1. Diminish, Lessen, Shrink – तीनों का अर्थ 'घटना/छोटा होना' है।
  2. Enlarge = बड़ा करना – यह बाकी तीनों से अलग है।
  3. आधिकारिक उत्तर-कुंजी (C) Enlarge को सही मानती है।

याद रखें: वास्तव में Enlarge, Contract का विलोम (antonym) है; synonym के रूप में Shrink सबसे सटीक है।

उत्तर: (C) Enlarge

Q26.
The sum of the ages of A and B is 45 years. A is 15 years older than B. What is the age of B ?
A और B की आयु का योग 45 वर्ष है। A, B से 15 वर्ष बड़ा है। B की आयु कितनी है ?
  1. A15 years15 वर्ष
  2. B20 years20 वर्ष
  3. C25 years25 वर्ष
  4. D30 years30 वर्ष
Show answer

Concept: When sum and difference of two ages are known: smaller = (sum − difference)/2.

  1. Sum = 45, difference = 15.
  2. B (younger) = (45 − 15)/2 = 30/2 = 15 years.
  3. Check: A = 30; 30 + 15 = 45 ✓

Trick: Smaller = (S − D)/2, Larger = (S + D)/2 – no equation needed.

Answer: (A) 15 years

अवधारणा: दो संख्याओं का योग व अंतर पता हो तो छोटी = (योग − अंतर)/2।

हल:

  1. योग = 45, अंतर = 15।
  2. B (छोटा) = (45 − 15)/2 = 15 वर्ष।
  3. जाँच: A = 30, 30 + 15 = 45 ✓

ट्रिक: छोटी = (S − D)/2, बड़ी = (S + D)/2 – समीकरण की ज़रूरत नहीं।

उत्तर: (A) 15 years

Q51.
Which is a mixed recurring decimal?
मिश्रित आवर्ती दशमलव कौन-सा है?
  1. A0.75
  2. B0.3333…$0.3333…$
  3. C0.272727…$0.272727…$
  4. D2.1454545…$2.1454545…$
Show answer

Concept: Mixed recurring: some decimal digits do not repeat, then a block repeats.

  1. 0.75 – terminating.
  2. 0.333… and 0.2727… – repetition starts right after the point (pure recurring).
  3. 2.1454545… – '1' does not repeat, then '45' repeats → mixed recurring.

Trick: Pure = bar starts at first decimal place; Mixed = bar starts later.

Answer: (D) 2.1454545…

अवधारणा: मिश्रित आवर्ती: दशमलव के बाद कुछ अंक नहीं दोहराते, फिर कोई समूह दोहराता है।

हल:

  1. 0.75 – सांत दशमलव।
  2. 0.333…, 0.2727… – दोहराव तुरंत शुरू (शुद्ध आवर्ती)।
  3. 2.1454545… – '1' नहीं दोहराता, फिर '45' दोहराता है → मिश्रित आवर्ती।

ट्रिक: शुद्ध = बार पहले अंक से; मिश्रित = बार बाद में शुरू।

उत्तर: (D) 2.1454545…
