Q1.
Choose the one word substitute for the below sentence.
Kavita often showed a deep dislike for humanity, withdrawing from social interactions and choosing to live in solitude.
  1. AMisanthrope
  2. BMisogynist
  3. CCynic
  4. DNarcissist
Show answer

Concept: Pick the word whose meaning matches the whole description: hatred of people in general + living alone.

  1. Key clue: dislike for humanity (all people, not one group).
  2. Misanthrope = one who hates or avoids mankind; fits the solitude part too.
  3. Misogynist hates only women; a cynic doubts people's motives; a narcissist loves himself.

Trick: Root help: mis (hate) + anthrop (man/humanity). Same root in anthropology.

Answer: (A) Misanthrope

अवधारणा: पूरे वाक्य के अर्थ से मेल खाता एक शब्द चुनना है।

हल:

  1. मुख्य संकेत: dislike for humanity – पूरी मानव जाति से नफ़रत।
  2. Misanthrope = मानव-द्वेषी, जो लोगों से दूर अकेला रहना पसंद करे।
  3. Misogynist = स्त्री-द्वेषी, Cynic = हर किसी की नीयत पर शक करने वाला, Narcissist = आत्म-मुग्ध।

ट्रिक: mis = घृणा, anthrop = मनुष्य → Misanthrope.

उत्तर: (A) Misanthrope

Q26.
A rectangular field has a length of 24 meters and a width of 18 meters. If a path of 3 meters wide is built around it (outside the field), what is the area of the path?
एक आयताकार मैदान की लंबाई 24 मीटर तथा चौड़ाई 18 मीटर है। यदि उसके चारों ओर (मैदान के बाहर) 3 मीटर चौड़ा एक रास्ता बनाया जाता है, तो रास्ते का क्षेत्रफल कितना होगा?
  1. A250 sq m250 वर्ग मीटर
  2. B270 sq m270 वर्ग मीटर
  3. C288 sq m288 वर्ग मीटर
  4. D300 sq m300 वर्ग मीटर
Show answer

Concept: Path area = outer rectangle area − inner field area.

  1. Outer length = 24 + 2×3 = 30 m; outer width = 18 + 2×3 = 24 m.
  2. Outer area = 30 × 24 = 720 m²; field = 24 × 18 = 432 m².
  3. Path = 720 − 432 = 288 m².

Trick: Outside path: Area = 2w(l + b + 2w) = 2×3×(24 + 18 + 6) = 6 × 48 = 288.

Answer: (C) 288 sq m

अवधारणा: रास्ते का क्षेत्रफल = बाहरी आयत − अंदर का मैदान।

हल:

  1. बाहरी लंबाई = 24 + 2×3 = 30 m, बाहरी चौड़ाई = 18 + 2×3 = 24 m।
  2. बाहरी क्षेत्रफल = 30 × 24 = 720 m², मैदान = 24 × 18 = 432 m²।
  3. रास्ता = 720 − 432 = 288 m²।

ट्रिक: बाहर का रास्ता: 2w(l + b + 2w) = 6 × 48 = 288.

उत्तर: (C) 288 sq m

Q51.
Find the mean proportion between 9 and 25.
9 और 25 के बीच मध्यानुपाती ज्ञात कीजिए।
  1. A15
  2. B225
  3. C17
  4. D8
Show answer

Concept: Mean proportional of a and b = √(ab), since a : x = x : b.

  1. x = √(9 × 25) = √225.
  2. x = 15.
  3. Check: 9 : 15 = 15 : 25 = 3 : 5 ✓.

Trick: For two perfect squares: √9 × √25 = 3 × 5 = 15.

Answer: (A) 15

अवधारणा: a और b का मध्यानुपाती = √(ab), क्योंकि a : x = x : b।

हल:

  1. x = √(9 × 25) = √225।
  2. x = 15।
  3. जाँच: 9 : 15 = 15 : 25 = 3 : 5 ✓।

ट्रिक: दोनों पूर्ण वर्ग हों तो: √9 × √25 = 3 × 5 = 15.

उत्तर: (A) 15

Q76.
Which of the following options correctly expresses the meaning of the title 'Tribhuvana-chakravartin' ?
निम्नलिखित में से कौन-सा विकल्प 'Tribhuvana-chakravartin' उपाधि के अर्थ को सही ढंग से व्यक्त करता है ?
  1. AChronicles of the Eternal Crownशाश्वत मुकुट का इतिवृत्त
  2. BLord of the Three Worldsतीनों लोकों का स्वामी
  3. CSaga of the Celestial Kingsदिव्य राजाओं की गाथा
  4. DThe Dominion Scrollsआधिपत्य के अभिलेख
Show answer

Concept: Break the Sanskrit title into its parts.

  1. Tri = three, bhuvana = worlds.
  2. Chakravartin = universal ruler/emperor.
  3. So the title means 'Lord of the Three Worlds' – used by Chola kings such as Kulottunga III.

Trick: Only one option names a ruler ('Lord'); the rest are names of books/sagas – eliminate them.

Answer: (B) Lord of the Three Worlds

अवधारणा: संस्कृत उपाधि को हिस्सों में तोड़ें।

हल:

  1. त्रि = तीन, भुवन = लोक।
  2. चक्रवर्ती = सार्वभौम सम्राट।
  3. अर्थ: 'तीनों लोकों का स्वामी' – चोल शासक (जैसे कुलोत्तुंग तृतीय) यह उपाधि लेते थे।

ट्रिक: केवल एक विकल्प शासक (Lord) बताता है; बाकी पुस्तकों/गाथाओं जैसे नाम हैं।

उत्तर: (B) Lord of the Three Worlds
