Sample questions from this paper

Q1.
Choose the option which is similar in meaning to the underlined word.
The progress she made in such a short time is truly incredible.
  1. AUnacceptable
  2. BOrdinary
  3. CApparent
  4. DUnimaginable
Show answer

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

  1. Incredible = too amazing to be believed.
  2. Unimaginable = beyond what the mind can picture – the same idea.
  3. Ordinary is nearly opposite; Unacceptable (not allowed) and Apparent (visible) are unrelated.

Trick: Break it: in-cred-ible → 'cred' = believe (credit, credible). Not believable ≈ not imaginable.

Answer: (D) Unimaginable

अवधारणा: Synonym वही अर्थ देने वाला शब्द है।

  1. Incredible = इतना अद्भुत कि विश्वास न हो।
  2. Unimaginable = जिसकी कल्पना भी न की जा सके – यही भाव।
  3. Ordinary (साधारण) उल्टा अर्थ है; Unacceptable (अस्वीकार्य) और Apparent (स्पष्ट) मेल नहीं खाते।

ट्रिक: 'cred' का अर्थ है विश्वास (credit, credible) – in-cred-ible = अविश्वसनीय।

उत्तर: (D) Unimaginable

Q26.
A series is given with one term missing. Select the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series.
5, 9, 17, 33,65, ?, 257
एक शृंखला दी गई है जिसमें एक पद लुप्त है। दिए गए विकल्पों में से वह सही विकल्प चुनिए जो शृंखला को पूर्ण करेगा।
5, 9, 17, 33,65, ?, 257
  1. A122
  2. B129
  3. C124
  4. D126
Show answer

Concept: Each term = previous × 2 − 1.

  1. 5 → 9 → 17 → 33 → 65: each is double minus 1 (e.g. 33 × 2 = 66, 66 − 1 = 65).
  2. Missing term = 65 × 2 − 1 = 129.
  3. Check: 129 × 2 − 1 = 257 ✓

Trick: Differences 4, 8, 16, 32 double → next difference 64; 65 + 64 = 129.

Answer: (B) 129

अवधारणा: हर पद = पिछला × 2 − 1।

  1. 5, 9, 17, 33, 65 – हर बार दुगना करके 1 घटाया (33 × 2 = 66 → 65)।
  2. अगला पद = 65 × 2 − 1 = 129।
  3. जाँच: 129 × 2 − 1 = 257 ✓

ट्रिक: अंतर 4, 8, 16, 32 दुगने होते हैं → अगला अंतर 64; 65 + 64 = 129।

उत्तर: (B) 129

Q51.
A builder purchased a square plot to construct a house. The side of the plot is a whole number of yards. Which of the following can be the area (in square yards) of the plot?
एक बिल्डर ने मकान बनाने के लिए एक वर्गाकार भूखंड खरीदा। भूखंड की भुजा गज में एक पूर्ण संख्या है। निम्नलिखित में से कौन-सा भूखंड का क्षेत्रफल (वर्ग गज में) हो सकता है?
  1. A1156
  2. B1160
  3. C1150
  4. D1165
Show answer

Concept: Whole-number side ⇒ area = side² must be a perfect square.

  1. 34² = 1156 and 35² = 1225.
  2. 1150, 1160, 1165 lie between these two squares – not perfect squares.
  3. So area = 1156 (side 34 yards).

Trick: A perfect square never ends in a single 0, and if it ends in 5 it ends in 25 – so 1150, 1160 and 1165 fail instantly.

Answer: (A) 1156

अवधारणा: भुजा पूर्ण संख्या ⇒ क्षेत्रफल = भुजा², यानी पूर्ण वर्ग।

  1. 34² = 1156, 35² = 1225।
  2. 1150, 1160, 1165 इन दोनों के बीच हैं – पूर्ण वर्ग नहीं।
  3. अतः क्षेत्रफल = 1156 (भुजा 34 गज)।

ट्रिक: पूर्ण वर्ग एक अकेले 0 पर खत्म नहीं होता और 5 पर खत्म हो तो अंत 25 होता है – 1150, 1160, 1165 तुरंत बाहर।

उत्तर: (A) 1156

Q76.
The Nayanar saints of South India were primarily associated with devotion to which deity ?
दक्षिण भारत के नयनार संत मुख्यतः किस देवता की भक्ति से संबंधित थे ?
  1. AVishnuविष्णु
  2. BSuryaसूर्य
  3. CShivaशिव
  4. DAgniअग्नि
Show answer

Concept: Tamil Bhakti saints were split by the god they worshipped.

  1. The Nayanars (63 saints) were devotees of Shiva.
  2. Their hymns form the Tevaram/Tirumurai collection.
  3. The Alvars (12 saints) were devotees of Vishnu – the tempting wrong option.

Trick: Alvar – vishnu; Nayanar – Shiva's Nandi. Count: 12 Alvars, 63 Nayanars.

Answer: (C) Shiva

अवधारणा: तमिल भक्ति संत अपने आराध्य देव से पहचाने जाते हैं।

  1. नयनार (63 संत) शिव के भक्त थे।
  2. उनके भजन तेवारम/तिरुमुरई में संकलित हैं।
  3. आलवार (12 संत) विष्णु भक्त थे – यही भ्रम पैदा करता है।

ट्रिक: नयनार – नंदी – शिव; आलवार – विष्णु। संख्या: 63 नयनार, 12 आलवार।

उत्तर: (C) Shiva
