Sample questions from this paper

Q1.
Identify the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error.
A. She worked B. hardly to master C. the skills required for D. the new role.
  1. AShe worked
  2. Bhardly to master
  3. Cthe skills required for
  4. Dthe new role.
Show answer

Concept: 'Hard' (adverb) = with effort; 'hardly' = almost not.

  1. She put in effort to master the skills – a positive idea.
  2. 'Worked hardly' would mean she almost did not work – illogical.
  3. Correct: 'She worked hard to master…'

Trick: Hardly, scarcely, barely = negative words. If the sense is 'lots of effort', use 'hard'.

Answer: (B) hardly to master

अवधारणा: 'Hard' का अर्थ है मेहनत से; 'hardly' का अर्थ है 'मुश्किल से / लगभग नहीं'।

  1. वाक्य का भाव है कि उसने skills सीखने के लिए मेहनत की।
  2. 'worked hardly' का अर्थ उल्टा हो जाता – 'लगभग काम नहीं किया'।
  3. सही रूप: 'She worked hard to master…'

ट्रिक: Hardly, scarcely, barely – ये नकारात्मक अर्थ देते हैं; मेहनत के अर्थ में 'hard' लिखें।

उत्तर: (B) hardly to master

Q26.
Select the related letter from the given alternatives.
Pen : Write :: Knife : ?
दिए गए विकल्पों में से संबंधित अक्षर चुनिए।
Pen : Write :: Knife : ?
  1. ACutकाटना
  2. BSharpतीक्ष्ण
  3. CSteelइस्पात
  4. DFoodभोजन
Show answer

Concept: First word is a tool, second is the job it does.

  1. Pen → used to write.
  2. Knife → used to cut.
  3. Sharp = quality, Steel = material, Food = thing cut – not the job.

Trick: Make a sentence: 'A pen is used to ___' – then fill the same blank for knife.

Answer: (A) Cut

अवधारणा: पहला शब्द औज़ार है, दूसरा उसका काम।

  1. Pen से लिखा जाता है।
  2. Knife से काटा जाता है।
  3. Sharp गुण है, Steel धातु है, Food वस्तु है – काम नहीं।

ट्रिक: वाक्य बनाइए: 'Pen का उपयोग ___ के लिए' – वही knife पर लगाइए।

उत्तर: (A) Cut

Q51.
A, B, and C start a business. A invests ₹6000 for 10 months, B ₹4000 for 8 months, and C ₹5000 for 8 months. If profit is ₹330000, find the share of B.
A, B और C एक व्यवसाय आरंभ करते हैं। A, ₹6000 का निवेश 10 महीनों के लिए, B, ₹4000 का निवेश 8 महीनों के लिए तथा C, ₹5000 का निवेश 8 महीनों के लिए करता है। यदि लाभ ₹330000 है, तो B का हिस्सा ज्ञात कीजिए।
  1. A₹90,000
  2. B₹80,000
  3. C₹85,000
  4. D₹87,000
Show answer

Concept: Profit is divided in the ratio of (money × months).

  1. A = 6000×10 = 60000, B = 4000×8 = 32000, C = 5000×8 = 40000
  2. Ratio = 15 : 8 : 10 (÷ 4000); total 33 parts
  3. 1 part = 330000 ÷ 33 = ₹10,000
  4. B = 8 × 10000 = ₹80,000

Trick: ₹3,30,000 ÷ 33 = 10,000 is clean – a sign the ratio is right.

Answer: (B) ₹80,000

अवधारणा: लाभ (राशि × महीने) के अनुपात में बँटता है।

  1. A = 60000, B = 32000, C = 40000
  2. अनुपात = 15 : 8 : 10; कुल 33 भाग
  3. 1 भाग = 330000 ÷ 33 = ₹10,000
  4. B = 8 × 10000 = ₹80,000

ट्रिक: 330000 ÷ 33 = 10000 – पूरा भाग जाना सही अनुपात का संकेत है।

उत्तर: (B) ₹80,000
