Sample questions from this paper

Q1.
Choose the one word substitute for the below sentence.
The student was well known throughout the school for breaking rules and getting into minor trouble so often that teachers mentioned his name with a sigh and classmates instantly recognised his reputation.
  1. ANotorious
  2. BWanderer
  3. CInsolent
  4. DTruant
Show answer

Concept: Pick the single word that means 'famous for something bad'.

  1. Key clue: everyone knows the student, but for breaking rules and trouble – a negative fame.
  2. Notorious = widely known for a bad trait or act. Fits exactly.
  3. Insolent = rude (not about fame); Truant = one who skips school; Wanderer = one who roams.

Trick: Famous for good → renowned; famous for bad → notorious.

Answer: (A) Notorious

अवधारणा: ऐसा शब्द चुनना है जिसका अर्थ हो 'बुरे काम के लिए प्रसिद्ध'।

  1. छात्र सबको पता है, पर नियम तोड़ने और शरारत के लिए – यानी बदनामी वाली प्रसिद्धि।
  2. Notorious = किसी बुरी आदत/काम के लिए कुख्यात। सही बैठता है।
  3. Insolent = बदतमीज़; Truant = स्कूल से भागने वाला; Wanderer = घुमक्कड़ – इनमें 'प्रसिद्धि' का भाव नहीं।

ट्रिक: अच्छे काम से प्रसिद्ध = renowned; बुरे काम से प्रसिद्ध = notorious (कुख्यात)।

उत्तर: (A) Notorious

Q26.
A contractor hired workers to complete a job in 30 days. After 10 days, 10 workers quit, causing a 5 -day delay. How many workers were hired initially?
एक ठेकेदार ने किसी कार्य को 30 दिनों में पूरा करने के लिए श्रमिकों को नियुक्त किया। 10 दिन बाद 10 श्रमिकों ने कार्य छोड़ दिया, जिससे 5 दिन का विलम्ब हो गया। प्रारम्भ में कितने श्रमिक नियुक्त किए गए थे?
  1. A30
  2. B36
  3. C40
  4. D50
Show answer

Concept: Total work in man-days stays the same however the workforce changes.

  1. Let workers = x. Total work = 30x man-days.
  2. First 10 days done: 10x. Left: 20x.
  3. Remaining days with delay = 20 + 5 = 25, done by (x − 10) men → 25(x − 10) = 20x.
  4. 25x − 250 = 20x → 5x = 250 → x = 50.

Trick: Options test: x = 50 → left work 20×50 = 1000; 40 men × 25 days = 1000 ✔.

Answer: (D) 50

अवधारणा: श्रमिक कितने भी बदलें, कुल काम (man-days) वही रहता है।

  1. मान लें श्रमिक = x। कुल काम = 30x man-days।
  2. पहले 10 दिन में हुआ: 10x। बचा: 20x।
  3. देरी सहित बचे दिन = 20 + 5 = 25, (x − 10) श्रमिकों द्वारा → 25(x − 10) = 20x।
  4. 25x − 250 = 20x → 5x = 250 → x = 50।

ट्रिक: विकल्प जाँचें: x = 50 → बचा काम 1000; 40 × 25 = 1000 ✔।

उत्तर: (D) 50

Q51.
Find the average of 17, 27, 37, 47, and 57.
17, 27, 37, 47 और 57 का औसत ज्ञात कीजिए।
  1. A47
  2. B27
  3. C17
  4. D37
Show answer

Concept: For equally spaced numbers, average = middle term.

  1. 17, 27, 37, 47, 57 rise by 10 each – an AP of 5 terms.
  2. Middle (3rd) term = 37.
  3. Check: total 185, and 185 ÷ 5 = 37.

Trick: Odd count + equal gaps → just pick the middle number, no adding needed.

Answer: (D) 37

अवधारणा: समान अंतर वाली संख्याओं का औसत = बीच वाला पद।

  1. 17, 27, 37, 47, 57 – हर बार +10, यानी 5 पदों की AP।
  2. बीच का (तीसरा) पद = 37।
  3. जाँच: योग 185, 185 ÷ 5 = 37।

ट्रिक: पद विषम संख्या में और अंतर समान → सीधे बीच वाली संख्या।

उत्तर: (D) 37
