  3. Cbite the bullet
  4. Dtake the bull by the horns
Show answer

Concept: An idiom's meaning is fixed; match the key idea 'bearing the result of what you did'.

  1. Face the music = to meet and accept the punishment/criticism for your own actions.
  2. Bell the cat = take a dangerous job for a group; bite the bullet = endure something painful but necessary; take the bull by the horns = tackle a problem boldly.
  3. Only (A) talks about consequences of one's own deeds.

Trick: Look for the word 'consequences' → think 'music' you must face after the show is over.

Answer: (A) face the music

अवधारणा: Idiom का अर्थ तय होता है; मुख्य भाव है 'अपने किए का नतीजा भुगतना'।

हल:

  1. Face the music = अपने काम की सज़ा/आलोचना का सामना करना।
  2. Bell the cat = जोखिम भरा काम अपने सिर लेना; bite the bullet = मजबूरी में कष्ट सहना; take the bull by the horns = समस्या से सीधे भिड़ना।
  3. केवल (A) में 'अपने कर्मों का परिणाम' वाला भाव है।

ट्रिक: 'Consequences' दिखे तो 'face the music' सबसे पहले जाँचें।

उत्तर: (A) face the music

Trick: 'Only brother of father's sister' always = father himself.

Answer: (B) Brother

हल:

  2. पिता की पत्नी = आर्यन की माँ।
  3. माँ का बेटा = आर्यन का भाई।

ट्रिक: 'पिता की बहन का इकलौता भाई' = हमेशा पिता स्वयं।

  1. A160
  2. B180
  3. C150
  4. D190
Show answer

Concept: If a% of N is known, b% of N = known value × b/a.

  2. 45% → 45 × 4 = 180.
  3. (Number = 400; 45% of 400 = 180.)

Trick: 45% = 1.5 × 30% → 1.5 × 120 = 180.

Answer: (B) 180

अवधारणा: a% मान पता हो तो b% = दिया मान × b/a।

हल:

  1. 30% → 120, तो 1% → 4।
  2. 45% → 45 × 4 = 180।
  3. (संख्या = 400; 400 का 45% = 180)

ट्रिक: 45% = 1.5 × 30% → 1.5 × 120 = 180।

उत्तर: (B) 180
