Q1.
In a certain coding system, 'Read this book' is coded as '689', 'This book is useful' is coded as '9675', and 'Useful book is good' is coded as '5479'. What is the code for 'This book is good' in this system?
एक निश्चित कूट प्रणाली में, 'Read this book' को '689' के रूप में, 'This book is useful' को '9675' के रूप में और 'Useful book is good' को '5479' के रूप में कूटबद्ध किया जाता है। इस प्रणाली में 'This book is good' के लिए कूट क्या है?
  1. A4965
  2. B6457
  3. C8495
  4. D7859
Show answer

Concept: Find a word common to two coded sentences; the digit common to their codes is its code.

  1. "book" is in all three sentences; 9 is in all three codes, so book = 9.
  2. "This" and "book" are common to sentences 1 and 2; common digits 6, 9 → This = 6, so Read = 8.
  3. "Useful", "book", "is" are common to sentences 2 and 3 → their codes are 9, 7, 5; leftover in sentence 3: good = 4.
  4. This book is good = 6, 9, (7 or 5), 4. Only 4965 has 6, 9, 4 and one of 7 or 5 (and no 8).

Trick: Eliminate options containing a known wrong code: 8 (Read) removes C and D; B has no 9 (book).

Answer: (A) 4965

अवधारणा: दो वाक्यों में common शब्द का code उनके codes में common अंक होता है।

  1. "book" तीनों वाक्यों में है, अंक 9 तीनों codes में है → book = 9.
  2. वाक्य 1 और 2 में "This", "book" common हैं; common अंक 6, 9 → This = 6, Read = 8.
  3. वाक्य 2 और 3 में "Useful", "book", "is" common → codes 9, 7, 5; वाक्य 3 में बचा good = 4.
  4. This book is good = 6, 9, (7 या 5), 4 → केवल 4965 सही बैठता है।

ट्रिक: जिस option में 8 (Read) है या 9 (book) नहीं है, उसे तुरंत हटाएँ।

उत्तर: (A) 4965

Q101.
The given bar graph shows the number of students of two schools over a period of six years.
YearSchool ASchool B
2008640550
2009800820
2010500600
2011700750
2012900500
2013750480

In the bar graph, what is the ratio of the students taken for the years 2008, 2012, 2013 together from school A to the students taken for the years 2009, 2010, 2011 together from school B?
दिया गया दंड आरेख (bar graph) छह वर्षों की अवधि में दो स्कूलों के विद्यार्थियों की संख्या दर्शाता है।
वर्षस्कूल Aस्कूल B
2008640550
2009800820
2010500600
2011700750
2012900500
2013750480

दंड आरेख में, स्कूल A से वर्ष 2008, 2012, 2013 के कुल विद्यार्थियों और स्कूल B से वर्ष 2009, 2010, 2011 के कुल विद्यार्थियों का अनुपात क्या है?
  1. A118 : 251
  2. B229 : 217
  3. C251 : 118
  4. D217 : 229
Show answer

Concept: Read the required bars, add them and reduce the ratio by the HCF.

  1. School A (2008, 2012, 2013): 640+900+750=2290
  2. School B (2009, 2010, 2011): 820+600+750=2170
  3. Ratio =2290:2170=229:217 (divide by 10)

Trick: Totals ending in 0 – just drop the zero; 229 and 217 have no common factor.

Answer: (B) 229:217

अवधारणा: आवश्यक दंडों के मान पढ़ें, जोड़ें और अनुपात को सरल करें।

  1. स्कूल A (2008, 2012, 2013): 640+900+750=2290
  2. स्कूल B (2009, 2010, 2011): 820+600+750=2170
  3. अनुपात =2290:2170=229:217 (10 से भाग)

ट्रिक: दोनों योग 0 पर खत्म हों तो शून्य हटा दें; 229 और 217 में कोई उभयनिष्ठ गुणनखंड नहीं।

उत्तर: (B) 229:217
