Q1.
Select the most appropriate synonym of the word :
ESOTERIC
  1. AObvious
  2. BAbstruse
  3. CPublic
  4. DSimple
Show answer

Concept: A synonym has nearly the same meaning as the given word.

  1. Esoteric = known or understood only by a few experts; hard for common people to follow.
  2. Abstruse = difficult to understand, obscure – same sense.
  3. Obvious, Public and Simple all mean clear/open to all – opposites.

Trick: If three options point one way (easy/open) and one points the other, the odd one is usually the synonym of a 'difficult' word.

Answer: (B) Abstruse

अवधारणा: Synonym यानी लगभग समान अर्थ वाला शब्द।

हल:

  1. Esoteric = जिसे केवल कुछ विशेष जानकार ही समझें; आम लोगों के लिए कठिन/गूढ़।
  2. Abstruse = समझने में कठिन, गूढ़ – वही भाव।
  3. Obvious, Public, Simple का अर्थ है स्पष्ट/सबके लिए खुला – ये विलोम हैं।

ट्रिक: तीन विकल्प 'आसान/खुला' बताएँ और एक 'कठिन', तो कठिन शब्द का synonym वही अलग विकल्प होता है।

उत्तर: (B) Abstruse

Q26.
A shopkeeper bought 20 dozens of eggs at ₹60 per dozen. He sold 15 dozens at ₹70 per dozen and the remaining eggs at ₹55 per dozen. What is his total profit or loss?
एक दुकानदार ने ₹60 प्रति दर्जन की दर से 20 दर्जन अंडे खरीदे। उसने 15 दर्जन अंडे ₹70 प्रति दर्जन की दर से तथा शेष अंडे ₹55 प्रति दर्जन की दर से बेच दिए। उसका कुल लाभ अथवा हानि कितनी है?
  1. A₹155 Profit₹155 लाभ
  2. B₹125 Profit₹125 लाभ
  3. C₹145 Loss₹145 हानि
  4. D₹120 Profit₹120 लाभ
Show answer

Concept: Profit = Total SP − Total CP.

  1. CP = 20 × ₹60 = ₹1200.
  2. SP = 15 × ₹70 + 5 × ₹55 = ₹1050 + ₹275 = ₹1325.
  3. Profit = 1325 − 1200 = ₹125.

Trick: Work per dozen vs CP: 15 dozens earn +₹10 each = +₹150; 5 dozens lose ₹5 each = −₹25 → net +₹125.

Answer: (B) ₹125 Profit

अवधारणा: लाभ = कुल विक्रय मूल्य − कुल क्रय मूल्य।

हल:

  1. CP = 20 × ₹60 = ₹1200।
  2. SP = 15 × ₹70 + 5 × ₹55 = ₹1050 + ₹275 = ₹1325।
  3. लाभ = 1325 − 1200 = ₹125।

ट्रिक: प्रति दर्जन अंतर देखें: 15 दर्जन पर +₹10 = +₹150; 5 दर्जन पर −₹5 = −₹25 → कुल +₹125।

उत्तर: (B) ₹125 Profit

Q51.
If the square of 27 is 729 , then find the square of 175 .
यदि 27 का वर्ग 729 है, तो 175 का वर्ग ज्ञात कीजिए।
  1. A30625
  2. B34625
  3. C35625
  4. D36625
Show answer

Concept: For n5, (n5)² = n × (n+1) followed by 25.

  1. 175 → n = 17, n + 1 = 18.
  2. 17 × 18 = 306.
  3. Write 25 after it → 175² = 30625.

Trick: Units digit of the square must be 25 and 175² < 180² = 32400 → only 30625 fits.

Answer: (A) 30625

अवधारणा: 5 पर समाप्त संख्या n5 का वर्ग = n × (n+1) के बाद 25।

हल:

  1. 175 → n = 17, n + 1 = 18।
  2. 17 × 18 = 306।
  3. पीछे 25 लगाएँ → 175² = 30625।

ट्रिक: 175² < 180² = 32400 – इससे छोटा विकल्प केवल 30625 है।

उत्तर: (A) 30625

  2. BAlauddin Khalji
  3. CFiroz Shah Tughlaq
  4. DSikandar Lodi

  2. Historian Ziauddin Barani, a noble, criticised this in Tarikh-i-Firoz Shahi.
  3. Aim: a bureaucracy loyal only to the Sultan, not to the old nobility.

Yaad rakhein: Muhammad bin Tughlaq is also known for the capital shift to Daulatabad and token (copper) currency.

Answer: (A) Muhammad bin Tughlaq

हल:

  1. उसने (1325–1351) नाई, रसोइया, माली, शराब बनाने वाले जैसे लोगों को गवर्नर व अधिकारी बनाया।
