Q1.
Choose the one-word substitute for the following sentence:
Because of his cynical view of the world, Silas spent his later years in bitter seclusion, expressing a deep-seated hatred and distrust for all of humanity.
  1. APhilanthropist
  2. BAltruist
  3. CMisanthrope
  4. DPolyglot
Show answer

Concept: A person who hates or distrusts all human beings is a misanthrope.

  1. Key clue: 'hatred and distrust for all of humanity' + living in seclusion.
  2. Misanthrope = mis (hate) + anthropos (man).
  3. Philanthropist and Altruist are the opposite (lovers/helpers of people); Polyglot = one who knows many languages.

Trick: 'Mis-' = hate, 'Phil-' = love. Misanthrope ↔ Philanthropist are opposites.

Answer: (C) Misanthrope

अवधारणा: जो व्यक्ति पूरी मानव जाति से घृणा/अविश्वास करे, उसे Misanthrope कहते हैं।

  1. वाक्य का संकेत: 'hatred and distrust for all of humanity' और अकेले रहना।
  2. Mis = घृणा, anthropos = मनुष्य।
  3. Philanthropist/Altruist = लोगों की भलाई करने वाला (उल्टा अर्थ); Polyglot = कई भाषाएँ जानने वाला।

ट्रिक: 'Mis-' = घृणा, 'Phil-' = प्रेम — Misanthrope और Philanthropist विलोम हैं।

उत्तर: (C) Misanthrope

Q26.
A bus covers a certain distance at 60km/h and returns at 60km/h. If the total time is 8 hours, what is the distance of the one-way trip ?
एक बस एक निश्चित दूरी 60km/h की चाल से तय करती है और 60km/h की चाल से वापस लौटती है। यदि कुल समय 8 घंटे है, तो एकतरफ़ा यात्रा की दूरी कितनी है?
  1. A300 km
  2. B240 km
  3. C350 km
  4. D180 km
Show answer

Concept: Same speed both ways ⇒ each leg takes half the total time; Distance = Speed × Time.

  1. Time for one way = 8 ÷ 2 = 4 h.
  2. One-way distance = 60 × 4 = 240 km.

Trick: Total path = 60 × 8 = 480 km (both ways); half of it = 240 km.

Answer: (B) 240 km

अवधारणा: दोनों ओर चाल समान ⇒ हर तरफ आधा समय; दूरी = चाल × समय।

  1. एक तरफ का समय = 8 ÷ 2 = 4 घंटे।
  2. एक तरफ की दूरी = 60 × 4 = 240 km।

ट्रिक: कुल दूरी = 60 × 8 = 480 km (आना+जाना), आधी = 240 km।

उत्तर: (B) 240 km

Q51.
The average of 11 numbers is 50. The difference of the largest and smallest number is 60 . If the largest number is removed, the average of the remaining 10 numbers is reduced by 4 . Find the smallest number?
11 संख्याओं का औसत 50 है। सबसे बड़ी तथा सबसे छोटी संख्या का अंतर 60 है। यदि सबसे बड़ी संख्या हटा दी जाए, तो शेष 10 संख्याओं का औसत 4 कम हो जाता है। सबसे छोटी संख्या ज्ञात कीजिए।
  1. A32
  2. B40
  3. C30
  4. D46
Show answer

Concept: Removed number = old total − new total.

  1. Total of 11 = 11 × 50 = 550.
  2. New average = 46 → total of 10 = 460.
  3. Largest = 550 − 460 = 90; smallest = 90 − 60 = 30.

Trick: Largest = old avg + (remaining count × fall) = 50 + 10 × 4 = 90 → 90 − 60 = 30.

Answer: (C) 30

अवधारणा: हटाई गई संख्या = पुराना योग − नया योग।

  1. 11 संख्याओं का योग = 11 × 50 = 550।
  2. नया औसत 46 → 10 संख्याओं का योग = 460।
  3. सबसे बड़ी = 90; सबसे छोटी = 90 − 60 = 30।

ट्रिक: सबसे बड़ी = पुराना औसत + (बची संख्याएँ × कमी) = 50 + 40 = 90।

उत्तर: (C) 30

Q76.
In which year did Babur defeat Ibrahim Lodi, leading to the foundation of the Mughal Empire in India?

  1. A1615
  2. B1526
  3. C1530
  4. D1556

Concept: The Mughal Empire began with Babur's victory at Panipat.

  1. Babur defeated Ibrahim Lodi at the First Battle of Panipat in 1526.
  2. This ended the Lodi dynasty (last Delhi Sultanate dynasty).
  3. 1556 = Second Battle of Panipat (Akbar vs Hemu); 1530 = Babur's death.

Trick: Panipat battles: 1526, 1556, 1761 — gaps of 30 and 205 years.

Answer: (B) 1526

अवधारणा: मुगल साम्राज्य की नींव पानीपत में बाबर की जीत से पड़ी।

  2. इससे लोदी वंश (दिल्ली सल्तनत का अंतिम वंश) समाप्त हुआ।
  3. 1556 = पानीपत का द्वितीय युद्ध (अकबर बनाम हेमू); 1530 = बाबर की मृत्यु।
