अवधारणा: पद बारी-बारी से 2 और 3 से गुणा होते हैं।

  1. 16×2=32
  2. 32×3=96
  3. 96×2=192, 192×3=576, 576×2=1152

Q101.
The given bar graph shows the sales of cars from six branches of a dealer B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, during two consecutive years 2018 and 2019 (values read from the graph are given below).
BranchB1B2B3B4B5B6
2018807595857570
201910565110959580

The average sale of cars (from all branches) for the year 2018 is:
दिया गया दंड आलेख (bar graph) एक डीलर की छह शाखाओं B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6 से लगातार दो वर्षों 2018 और 2019 के दौरान कारों की बिक्री दर्शाता है (आलेख से पढ़े गए मान नीचे दिए गए हैं)।
शाखाB1B2B3B4B5B6
2018807595857570
201910565110959580

वर्ष 2018 के लिए (सभी शाखाओं से) कारों की औसत बिक्री है:
  1. A78
  2. B90
  3. C85
  4. D80
Show answer

Concept: Average =sum of valuesnumber of values. Read the 2018 (blue) bar of each branch.

  1. 2018 sales: 80,75,95,85,75,70.
  2. Total =80+75+95+85+75+70=480.
  3. Average =4806=80.

Trick: Take 80 as base: deviations 0,−5,+15,+5,−5,−10 sum to 0, so the average is exactly 80.

Answer: (D) 80

अवधारणा: औसत =मानों का योगमानों की संख्या। हर शाखा का 2018 (नीला) बार पढ़ें।

  1. 2018 की बिक्री: 80,75,95,85,75,70।
  2. कुल =80+75+95+85+75+70=480।
  3. औसत =4806=80।

ट्रिक: 80 को आधार लें: विचलन 0,−5,+15,+5,−5,−10 का योग 0 है, अतः औसत ठीक 80।

उत्तर: (D) 80

Q151.
Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given
sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution required’.
She is being waited for you for two hours.
  1. Ahad wait
  2. Bhas been waiting
  3. CNo substitution required
  4. Dhave been waited
Show answer

Concept: An action that started in the past and is still continuing, with a period of time (for two hours), takes the Present Perfect Continuous: has/have + been + V-ing.

  1. Subject She is singular → has been.
  2. She is the one who is waiting (active), so the verb must be waiting, not passive being waited.
  3. Correct: She has been waiting for you for two hours.
  4. had wait is a wrong form; have been waited is passive and plural.

Trick: for + period / since + point of time with an ongoing action → has/have been + V-ing.

Answer: (B) has been waiting

अवधारणा: जो काम past में शुरू होकर अभी भी चल रहा है और साथ में समय-अवधि (for two hours) दी हो, वहाँ Present Perfect Continuous लगता है: has/have + been + V-ing.

  1. Subject She singular है → has been.
  2. इंतज़ार She स्वयं कर रही है (active), इसलिए waiting चाहिए, passive being waited नहीं।
  3. सही वाक्य: She has been waiting for you for two hours.
  4. had wait गलत रूप है; have been waited passive और plural है।

ट्रिक: for + अवधि / since + समय-बिंदु और काम जारी हो → has/have been + V-ing.

उत्तर: (B) has been waiting
