Q1.
Choose the one word substitute for: A person who abstains from marriage and sexual relations.
  1. ADivorced
  2. BCelibate
  3. CMisogamist
  4. DBachelor
Show answer

Concept: Pick the single word that covers BOTH parts of the definition: no marriage + no sexual relations.

Solution:

  1. Celibate = one who stays unmarried and avoids sexual relations (often for religious reasons).
  2. Bachelor = simply an unmarried man; says nothing about relations.
  3. Misogamist = one who hates marriage; Divorced = marriage legally ended.

Yaad rakhein: Celibate → 'celibacy' (brahmacharya). Hater of marriage = misogamist; hater of women = misogynist.

Answer: (B) Celibate

अवधारणा: परिभाषा के दोनों भाग – विवाह न करना + यौन संबंधों से दूर रहना – जिस एक शब्द में हों, वही उत्तर है।

हल:

  1. Celibate = ब्रह्मचारी, जो विवाह और यौन संबंध दोनों से दूर रहे।
  2. Bachelor = केवल अविवाहित पुरुष; Misogamist = विवाह से घृणा करने वाला; Divorced = तलाकशुदा।

याद रखें: Celibacy = ब्रह्मचर्य। Misogamist (विवाह से घृणा) और Misogynist (स्त्रियों से घृणा) में भ्रम न करें।

उत्तर: (B) Celibate

Q26.
In a row of students, Ravi is 10th from the left and Sumit is 15th from the right. If they exchange their positions, Ravi becomes 24th from the left. What will be the position of Sumit from the right ?
विद्यार्थियों की एक पंक्ति में रवि बाएँ से 10वें स्थान पर तथा सुमित दाएँ से 15वें स्थान पर है। यदि वे अपने स्थान आपस में बदल लेते हैं, तो रवि बाएँ से 24वें स्थान पर आ जाता है। दाएँ से सुमित का स्थान क्या होगा ?
  1. A28th28वाँ
  2. B29th29वाँ
  3. C30th30वाँ
  4. D31st31वाँ
Show answer

Concept: On exchange, each person takes the other's exact seat; Total = left rank + right rank − 1.

Solution:

  1. Ravi's new seat (24th from left) = Sumit's old seat, which is 15th from right.
  2. Total students = 24 + 15 − 1 = 38.
  3. Sumit now sits at Ravi's old seat = 10th from left → from right = 38 − 10 + 1 = 29th.

Trick: The seat that has both a left rank and a right rank gives the total in one line.

Answer: (B) 29th

अवधारणा: अदला-बदली में दोनों एक-दूसरे की जगह ले लेते हैं; कुल = बाएँ से स्थान + दाएँ से स्थान − 1।

हल:

  1. रवि की नई जगह (बाएँ से 24वाँ) = सुमित की पुरानी जगह (दाएँ से 15वाँ)।
  2. कुल छात्र = 24 + 15 − 1 = 38।
  3. सुमित अब बाएँ से 10वें स्थान पर → दाएँ से = 38 − 10 + 1 = 29वाँ।

ट्रिक: जिस सीट के दोनों ओर के स्थान पता हों, उसी से कुल संख्या निकालें।

उत्तर: (B) 29वाँ

Q51.
A shopkeeper sells a product at Rs. 240 after losing 20%. What is the cost price?
एक दुकानदार 20% की हानि पर एक वस्तु Rs. 240 में बेचता है। क्रय मूल्य क्या है?
  1. ARs. 280
  2. BRs. 300
  3. CRs. 320
  4. DRs. 350
Show answer

Concept: At x% loss, SP = (100 − x)% of CP.

Solution:

  1. 20% loss → SP = 80% of CP = 4/5 of CP.
  2. CP = 240 × 5/4 = ₹300.

Trick: 20% loss means SP is 4 parts out of CP's 5 → 1 part = 240 ÷ 4 = 60, CP = 5 × 60 = 300.

Answer: (B) Rs. 300

अवधारणा: x% हानि पर SP = CP का (100 − x)%।

हल:

  1. 20% हानि → SP = CP का 80% = 4/5।
  2. CP = 240 × 5/4 = ₹300।

ट्रिक: SP = 4 भाग, CP = 5 भाग → 1 भाग = 60, CP = 300।

उत्तर: (B) Rs. 300
