Q1.
From his office, Mukesh went 12 km straight. Then he turned 45° right and covered 8 km. From here he turned left and travelled 7 km and finally turning left he covered 11 km. If he was going north-west at last, then in which direction did he start from his office?
अपने कार्यालय से, मुकेश 12 km सीधा गया। फिर वह 45° दाएँ मुड़ा और 8 km की दूरी तय की। यहाँ से वह बाएँ मुड़ा और 7 km चला और अंत में बाएँ मुड़कर उसने 11 km की दूरी तय की। यदि अंत में वह उत्तर-पश्चिम दिशा में जा रहा था, तो उसने अपने कार्यालय से किस दिशा में चलना आरंभ किया था?
  1. AEastपूर्व
  2. BSouthदक्षिण
  3. CWestपश्चिम
  4. DNorthउत्तर
Show answer

Concept: Work backwards from the final direction, undoing each turn (45∘ right, then two 90∘ left turns).

  1. Let the starting direction be x. A 45∘ right turn gives x+45∘.
  2. A left turn gives x+45∘−90∘=x−45∘; another left turn gives x−135∘.
  3. Final direction is north-west (315∘ from North): x−135∘=315∘⇒x=450∘=90∘, i.e. East.
  4. Check: East → right 45∘ = South-east → left = North-east → left = North-west.

Trick: Total turning = +45∘−90∘−90∘=−135∘; so start = final direction rotated 135∘ clockwise: NW → E.

Answer: (A) East

अवधारणा: अंतिम दिशा से उल्टा चलें और हर मोड़ (45∘ दाएँ, फिर दो बार 90∘ बाएँ) को वापस करें।

  1. मान लें शुरुआती दिशा x है। 45∘ दाएँ मुड़ने पर x+45∘।
  2. बाएँ मुड़ने पर x−45∘, फिर बाएँ मुड़ने पर x−135∘।
  3. अंतिम दिशा उत्तर-पश्चिम (315∘) है: x−135∘=315∘⇒x=90∘ यानी पूर्व (East)।
  4. जाँच: East → दाएँ 45∘ = South-east → बाएँ = North-east → बाएँ = North-west।

ट्रिक: कुल घुमाव −135∘ है; अतः अंतिम दिशा NW को 135∘ दक्षिणावर्त घुमाएँ → East।

उत्तर: (A) East

Q51.
Which Union Territory has the lowest literacy rate, according to the Census of India 2011?
भारत की जनगणना 2011 के अनुसार, किस केंद्र शासित प्रदेश की साक्षरता दर सबसे कम है?
  1. ALakshadweepलक्षद्वीप
  2. BDadra and Nagar Haveliदादरा और नगर हवेली
  3. CAndaman and Nicobar Islandsअंडमान और निकोबार द्वीपसमूह
  4. DDelhiदिल्ली
Show answer

Concept: Census 2011 recorded literacy rates for all States and Union Territories; among UTs, Dadra and Nagar Haveli was at the bottom.

  1. Dadra and Nagar Haveli: about 76.2% – lowest among UTs.
  2. Lakshadweep (about 91.8%) was the highest among UTs, Andaman and Nicobar about 86.6%, Delhi about 86.2%.
  3. Among all States/UTs, Bihar (about 61.8%) was the lowest overall.

Yaad rakhein: Highest overall – Kerala; lowest State – Bihar; lowest UT – Dadra and Nagar Haveli.

Answer: (B) Dadra and Nagar Haveli

अवधारणा: जनगणना 2011 में सभी राज्यों व केंद्र शासित प्रदेशों (UTs) की साक्षरता दर दर्ज की गई; UTs में दादरा और नगर हवेली सबसे नीचे था।

  1. दादरा और नगर हवेली: लगभग 76.2% – UTs में सबसे कम।
  2. लक्षद्वीप (लगभग 91.8%) UTs में सबसे अधिक; अंडमान-निकोबार लगभग 86.6%, दिल्ली लगभग 86.2%।
  3. सभी राज्यों/UTs में सबसे कम बिहार (लगभग 61.8%) था।

याद रखें: सर्वाधिक – केरल; सबसे कम राज्य – बिहार; सबसे कम UT – दादरा और नगर हवेली।

उत्तर: (B) दादरा और नगर हवेली (Dadra and Nagar Haveli)

Q101.
The value of 122+123÷(12+12÷1)+313÷52×34÷623×76 is:
122+123÷(12+12÷1)+313÷52×34÷623×76 का मान है:
  1. A740
  2. B2120
  3. C1120
  4. D1130
Show answer

Concept: Follow BODMAS: bracket first, then ÷ and × from left to right, then +.

  1. Bracket: 12+12÷1=12+12=1, so 123÷1=18.
  2. 313÷52=103×25=43; ×34=1; ÷623=320; ×76=740.
  3. Total =14+18+740=10+5+740=2240=1120.

Trick: Convert mixed fractions to improper ones first and do ÷/× strictly left to right.

Answer: (C) 1120

अवधारणा: BODMAS का पालन करें: पहले कोष्ठक, फिर बाएँ से दाएँ ÷ और ×, फिर +।

  1. कोष्ठक: 12+12÷1=1, अतः 123÷1=18।
  2. 313÷52=43; ×34=1; ÷623=320; ×76=740।
  3. कुल =14+18+740=2240=1120।

ट्रिक: मिश्र भिन्न को पहले विषम भिन्न बनाएँ और ÷/× बाएँ से दाएँ करें।

उत्तर: (C) 1120

Q151.
Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word in the following
sentence.
The teacher praised the student for his diligent work and consistent effort.
  1. Afrazzle
  2. Bpersistent
  3. Clazy
  4. Dsquander
Show answer

Concept: An antonym is a word with the opposite meaning. Diligent means hard-working, careful and persistent in effort.

  1. The sentence praises the student's diligent work and consistent effort – a positive quality of hard work.
  2. Opposite of hard-working = lazy (unwilling to work).
  3. Persistent is a synonym; frazzle (to exhaust/fray) and squander (to waste) are not opposites of diligent.

Trick: Diligent ↔ Lazy; Diligent ≈ Industrious, Hard-working.

Answer: (C) lazy

अवधारणा: Antonym यानी विपरीत अर्थ वाला शब्द। Diligent का अर्थ है मेहनती, लगनशील।

  1. वाक्य में छात्र के diligent (मेहनती) काम और लगातार प्रयास की प्रशंसा है।
  2. मेहनती का विपरीत = lazy (आलसी)।
  3. Persistent (दृढ़) तो पर्यायवाची है; frazzle (थका देना) और squander (बर्बाद करना) विपरीत नहीं हैं।

ट्रिक: Diligent ↔ Lazy; Diligent ≈ Industrious (परिश्रमी)।

उत्तर: (C) lazy
