Sample questions from this paper

Q1.
Choose the option which is similar in meaning to the underlined word.
Chaucer, the great English poet, was a remarkable figure in English literature.
  1. ATypical
  2. BOrdinary
  3. CTrivial
  4. DAstounding
Show answer

Concept: A synonym carries the same sense as the given word.

  1. Remarkable = worth noticing because it is unusual or extraordinary.
  2. Astounding = so surprising/impressive that it amazes – same idea of 'beyond the ordinary'.
  3. Typical and Ordinary mean common; Trivial means of little importance – all go the other way.

Trick: Three options (typical, ordinary, trivial) share a 'plain/common' sense – the odd one out is the synonym.

Answer: (D) Astounding

अवधारणा: Synonym का अर्थ दिए गए शब्द जैसा ही होता है।

हल:

  1. Remarkable = असाधारण, ध्यान खींचने वाला।
  2. Astounding = चकित कर देने वाला, अद्भुत – यही भाव।
  3. Typical, Ordinary = साधारण; Trivial = मामूली – ये उल्टे अर्थ वाले हैं।

ट्रिक: तीन विकल्प 'साधारण' वाले भाव के हैं, जो अलग है वही synonym है।

उत्तर: (D) Astounding

Q26.
In a row, if A is 15th from the left and 18th from the right, how many people are there in the row?
एक पंक्ति में, यदि A बाएँ से 15वें स्थान पर तथा दाएँ से 18वें स्थान पर है, तो पंक्ति में कुल कितने व्यक्ति हैं?
  1. A31
  2. B32
  3. C33
  4. D34
Show answer

Concept: When one person's rank is known from both ends, he is counted twice.

  1. Total = left rank + right rank − 1.
  2. = 15 + 18 − 1 = 32.

Trick: Add both ranks and just drop 1 – no diagram needed.

Answer: (B) 32

अवधारणा: एक ही व्यक्ति का स्थान दोनों सिरों से दिया हो तो वह दो बार गिना जाता है।

हल:

  1. कुल = बाएँ से स्थान + दाएँ से स्थान − 1
  2. = 15 + 18 − 1 = 32

ट्रिक: दोनों स्थान जोड़ें और 1 घटा दें।

उत्तर: (B) 32

Q51.
You're given the expression (5+ 3)2. What is its exact simplified value?
आपको व्यंजक (5+ 3)2 दिया गया है। इसका यथार्थ सरलीकृत मान क्या है?
  1. A12+415
  2. B8+215
  3. C8+217
  4. D10+215
Show answer

Concept: (a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab, with √x × √x = x.

  1. (√5 + √3)² = (√5)² + (√3)² + 2·√5·√3.
  2. = 5 + 3 + 2√15.
  3. = 8 + 2√15 (√15 cannot be simplified).

Trick: Rational part = 5 + 3 = 8 instantly; middle term is always 2√(product) = 2√15.

Answer: (B) 8 + 2√15

अवधारणा: (a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab, तथा √x × √x = x।

हल:

  1. (√5 + √3)² = 5 + 3 + 2·√5·√3
  2. = 8 + 2√15
  3. √15 को और सरल नहीं किया जा सकता।

ट्रिक: पूर्णांक भाग = 5 + 3 = 8; बीच का पद = 2√(गुणनफल) = 2√15।

उत्तर: (B) 8 + 2√15

Show answer

Concept: Iqta = revenue assignment; its holder (Muqti/Iqtadar) was mainly a military-administrative officer.

  1. The Muqti maintained troops for the Sultan from the Iqta's revenue.
  2. He also kept law and order and collected revenue in that area.
  3. Surplus revenue (fawazil) went to the central treasury; Iqtas were transferable, not hereditary.

Yaad rakhein: Iltutmish institutionalised the Iqta system; Alauddin Khalji and later Firoz Tughlaq changed its rules (Firoz made it hereditary).

Answer: (D) Command military forces and maintain law and order

अवधारणा: इक्ता = राजस्व का आवंटन; इसका धारक (मुक्ती/इक्तादार) मुख्यतः सैनिक-प्रशासनिक अधिकारी था।

हल:

  1. मुक्ती इक्ता की आय से सुल्तान के लिए सेना रखता था।
  2. वह क्षेत्र में कानून-व्यवस्था और राजस्व वसूली भी देखता था।
  3. बची आय (फवाज़िल) केंद्रीय खज़ाने में जाती थी; इक्ता स्थानांतरित होते थे।

याद रखें: इक्ता व्यवस्था को इल्तुतमिश ने संस्थागत रूप दिया; फ़िरोज़ तुग़लक ने इसे वंशानुगत बना दिया।

उत्तर: (D) Command military forces and maintain law and order
