Q1.
Identify the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error.
A. The students denied B. having excess to C. the exam papers D. before the test.
  1. AThe students denied
  2. Bhaving excess to
  3. Cthe exam papers
  4. Dbefore the test
Show answer

Concept: Look-alike words: access (right/permission to reach something) vs excess (more than needed).

  1. Students can be denied the right to reach exam papers, not a 'surplus' of them.
  2. So part (B) needs the noun access: 'having access to the exam papers'.
  3. 'Access to' is the fixed pairing; the other parts are fine.

Trick: Access = Allowed entry; Excess = Extra.

Answer: (B) having excess to

अवधारणा: मिलते-जुलते शब्द: access = पहुँच/प्रवेश का अधिकार, excess = ज़रूरत से ज़्यादा।

हल:

  1. वाक्य का भाव है – छात्रों ने परीक्षा-पत्रों तक पहुँच होने से इनकार किया।
  2. इसलिए भाग (B) में excess की जगह access आएगा: 'having access to'.
  3. बाकी भाग सही हैं।

ट्रिक: Access = A से Allowed (अनुमति), Excess = Ex से Extra (अधिक)।

उत्तर: (B) having excess to

Q26.
The ratio of the present ages of Anuj and Brijesh is 6 : 7. Six years from now, the ratio of their ages will be 7:8. What is the present age of Brijesh ?
अनुज और बृजेश की वर्तमान आयु का अनुपात 6 : 7 है। अब से छह वर्ष बाद उनकी आयु का अनुपात 7:8 हो जाएगा। बृजेश की वर्तमान आयु कितनी है?
  1. A40 years40 वर्ष
  2. B42 years42 वर्ष
  3. C45 years45 वर्ष
  4. D48 years48 वर्ष
Show answer

Concept: Ages in ratio: take a common multiplier x; both ages grow by the same years.

  1. Now: Anuj = 6x, Brijesh = 7x.
  2. After 6 years: Anuj : Brijesh = (6x + 6) : (7x + 6) = 7 : 8.
  3. Cross-multiply: 49x + 42 = 48x + 48, so x = 48 − 42 = 6.
  4. Brijesh = 7 × 6 = 42 years.

Trick: Ratio 6:7 → 7:8 is a jump of 1 in each term, which took 6 years, so 1 part = 6 → Brijesh = 7 × 6 = 42. Or test options: only 42 is a multiple of 7 giving 36:42 → 42:48 = 7:8.

Answer: (B) 42 years

अवधारणा: अनुपात में आयु: एक common गुणक x लें; दोनों की आयु बराबर वर्ष बढ़ती है।

हल:

  1. अभी: अनुज = 6x, बृजेश = 7x।
  2. 6 वर्ष बाद: (6x + 6) : (7x + 6) = 7 : 8।
  3. तिर्यक गुणा: 49x + 42 = 48x + 48, अतः x = 6।
  4. बृजेश = 7 × 6 = 42 वर्ष।

ट्रिक: 6:7 से 7:8 – हर पद में 1 भाग बढ़ा और इसमें 6 वर्ष लगे, यानी 1 भाग = 6 → बृजेश = 7 × 6 = 42।

उत्तर: (B) 42 वर्ष

Q51.
O is the incentre of triangle ABC. If angle AOC=160∘, find angle ABC .
O, त्रिभुज ABC का अंतःकेंद्र है। यदि कोण AOC=160∘ है, तो कोण ABC ज्ञात कीजिए।
  1. A70°
  2. B140°
  3. C130°
  4. D150°
Show answer

Concept: At the incentre O: ∠AOC = 90° + ∠B/2.

  1. 160° = 90° + ∠B/2.
  2. ∠B/2 = 70° → ∠B = 140°.
  3. Check: ∠A + ∠C = 40°, so ∠AOC = 180° − 20° = 160° ✔.

Trick: Quick: ∠B = 2 × (∠AOC − 90°) = 2 × 70° = 140°.

Answer: (B) 140°

अवधारणा: अंतःकेंद्र O पर: ∠AOC = 90° + ∠B/2।

हल:

  1. 160° = 90° + ∠B/2।
  2. ∠B/2 = 70° → ∠B = 140°।
  3. जाँच: ∠A + ∠C = 40°, तो ∠AOC = 180° − 20° = 160° ✔।

ट्रिक: सीधा: ∠B = 2 × (∠AOC − 90°) = 140°।

उत्तर: (B) 140°

Show answer

Concept: Akbar's religious policy.

  1. Sulh-i-kul (Persian) = 'peace with all' – universal peace and tolerance towards all faiths.
  2. It grew from the discussions in the Ibadat Khana (Fatehpur Sikri) and was described by Abul Fazl.
  3. It was a principle of governance, not a military, economic or legal code.

Yaad rakhein: Akbar abolished the pilgrim tax (1563) and jizya (1564) – both in the spirit of sulh-i-kul.

Answer: (B) Universal peace and tolerance

अवधारणा: अकबर की धार्मिक नीति।

हल:

  1. सुलह-ए-कुल (फ़ारसी) = 'सबके साथ शांति' – सभी धर्मों के प्रति सहिष्णुता।
  2. इसका विकास इबादतखाना (फ़तेहपुर सीकरी) की चर्चाओं से हुआ; अबुल फ़ज़ल ने इसका वर्णन किया।
  3. यह शासन का सिद्धांत था, कोई सैन्य/आर्थिक/कानूनी संहिता नहीं।

याद रखें: अकबर ने तीर्थयात्रा कर (1563) और जज़िया (1564) समाप्त किया।

उत्तर: (B) Universal peace and tolerance
