'informed the employees' becomes 'said to the employees', and the spoken words go inside inverted commas. 'they had to submit' is the reported form of the obligation 'You must submit', so 'must' comes back. 'that detailed report' becomes 'this detailed report' — the near demonstrative is restored. 'it was essential' becomes 'it is essential', because that past tense was only a backshift, and 'their overall performance' becomes 'your overall performance' since the manager addresses the employees. Option (c) makes every one of these changes, so it is correct. (a) replaces 'must' by 'are required to' and wrongly changes 'the month' to 'this month'; (b) leaves the tenses backshifted; (d) keeps 'that' and invents 'the previous month'.2e:T40e,Symbol substitution, BODMAS First replace each symbol by the sign it really stands for.

So 4 ? 12 % 6 % 8 becomes

4 + 12 \times 6 \times 8

. By BODMAS, all the multiplication is done before the addition:

12 \times 6 = 72

and

72 \times 8 = 576

. Now add: 4+576=580. So option (b) is correct; adding first would wrongly give

16 \times 6 \times 8

, which is not among the options.2f:T591,चिह्न प्रतिस्थापन, BODMAS सबसे पहले प्रत्येक प्रतीक के स्थान पर उसका वास्तविक चिह्न रखिए।

अतः 4 ? 12 % 6 % 8 का रूप

4 + 12 \times 6 \times 8

हो जाता है। BODMAS के अनुसार सारा गुणा जोड़ से पहले किया जाएगा:

12 \times 6 = 72

तथा

72 \times 8 = 576

। अब जोड़िए: 4+576=580। अतः सही विकल्प (b) है; पहले जोड़ने पर गलत रूप से

16 \times 6 \times 8

मिलता, जो विकल्पों में है ही नहीं।30:T531,Time and work: inverse ratio The work stays the same, so the number of men and the number of days are in inverse proportion — more men means fewer days. Total work

= 20 \times 16 = 320

man-days. Days needed by 32 men

= \frac{320}{32} = 10

. The same result comes from

M_{1} D_{1} = M_{2} D_{2}

20 \times 16 = 32 \times D_{2}

, so

D_{2} = 10

. So the work takes 10 days and option (b) is correct.31:T6d8,समय और कार्य: व्युत्क्रम अनुपात कार्य वही रहता है, अतः पुरुषों की संख्या और दिनों की संख्या व्युत्क्रम अनुपात में हैं — अधिक पुरुष अर्थात् कम दिन। कुल कार्य

= 20 \times 16 = 320

पुरुष-दिन। 32 पुरुषों को लगने वाले दिन

= \frac{320}{32} = 10

। यही परिणाम

M_{1} D_{1} = M_{2} D_{2}

से भी मिलता है:

20 \times 16 = 32 \times D_{2}

, अतः

D_{2} = 10

। अतः कार्य में 10 दिन लगेंगे और सही विकल्प (b) है।32:T618,Addition of fractions Take the LCM of the denominators 5, 4 and 3, which is 60. Convert each fraction:

\frac{1}{5} = \frac{12}{60}

\frac{1}{4} = \frac{15}{60}

\frac{1}{3} = \frac{20}{60}

. Now combine:

\frac{12}{60} + \frac{15}{60} - \frac{20}{60} = \frac{12 + 15 - 20}{60}

\frac{12 + 15 - 20}{60} = \frac{7}{60}

, and 7 and 60 have no common factor, so it is already in lowest terms. So option (b) is correct.33:T732,भिन्नों का योग हरों 5, 4 तथा 3 का ल.स. लीजिए, जो 60 है। प्रत्येक भिन्न को बदलिए:

\frac{1}{5} = \frac{12}{60}

\frac{1}{4} = \frac{15}{60}

\frac{1}{3} = \frac{20}{60}

। अब जोड़-घटाव कीजिए:

\frac{12}{60} + \frac{15}{60} - \frac{20}{60} = \frac{12 + 15 - 20}{60}

।

\frac{12 + 15 - 20}{60} = \frac{7}{60}

, तथा 7 और 60 में कोई उभयनिष्ठ गुणनखंड नहीं है, अतः यह पहले से ही सरलतम रूप में है। अतः सही विकल्प (b) है।34:T561,Alternating number series The terms rise and fall irregularly, which is the signal to split the series into two alternating series. Terms at the odd places are 2, 4, 8, 16 — each is double the previous one. Terms at the even places are 8, 27, 64, ? — these are

2^{3}

3^{3}

and

4^{3}

, so they are consecutive perfect cubes.

The question mark stands at the fourth even place, so it must be

5^{3}

5^{3} = 125

, so option (a) is correct; 100 and 49 are squares, not cubes, and 5 is only the base.35:T750,एकांतर संख्या शृंखला पद अनियमित रूप से बढ़ते-घटते हैं, और यही संकेत है कि शृंखला को दो एकांतर शृंखलाओं में बाँटा जाए। विषम स्थानों के पद हैं 2, 4, 8, 16 — प्रत्येक अपने पिछले पद का दुगुना है। सम स्थानों के पद हैं 8, 27, 64, ? — ये

2^{3}

3^{3}

तथा

4^{3}

हैं, अर्थात् क्रमागत पूर्ण घन।

प्रश्नवाचक चिह्न सम स्थानों के चौथे पद पर है, अतः वह

5^{3}

होगा।

5^{3} = 125

, अतः सही विकल्प (a) है; 100 तथा 49 वर्ग हैं, घन नहीं, और 5 केवल आधार है।36:T702,Letter analogy: mixed shifts Write the position numbers of EFPK: E = 5, F = 6, P = 16, K = 11; and of HASF: H = 8, A = 1, S = 19, F = 6. Compare them place by place:

5 \to 8

is +3,

6 \to 1

is -5,

16 \to 19

is +3,

11 \to 6

is -5. So the first and third letters move 3 forward while the second and fourth move 5 backward.

Apply the same rule to GERN: G=7 gives

7 + 3 = 10 \to J

, and E=5 gives 5-5=0, which wraps round to

0 + 26 = 26 \to Z

. R=18 gives

18 + 3 = 21 \to U

, and N=14 gives

14 - 5 = 9 \to I

. The required group is JZUI, so option (d) is correct — option (b) has U and Z interchanged and (c) ends in L.37:T94c,अक्षर सादृश्य: मिश्रित विस्थापन EFPK के स्थानांक लिखिए: E = 5, F = 6, P = 16, K = 11; तथा HASF के: H = 8, A = 1, S = 19, F = 6। स्थान-दर-स्थान तुलना कीजिए:

5 \to 8

अर्थात् +3,

6 \to 1

अर्थात् -5,

16 \to 19

अर्थात् +3,

11 \to 6

अर्थात् -5। अर्थात् पहला और तीसरा अक्षर 3 स्थान आगे बढ़ते हैं तथा दूसरा और चौथा 5 स्थान पीछे जाते हैं।

यही नियम GERN पर लगाइए: G=7 से

7 + 3 = 10 \to J

, तथा E=5 से 5-5=0, जो लपेटकर

0 + 26 = 26 \to Z

हो जाता है। R=18 से

18 + 3 = 21 \to U

, तथा N=14 से

14 - 5 = 9 \to I

। अभीष्ट अक्षर-समूह JZUI है, अतः सही विकल्प (d) है — विकल्प (b) में U और Z आपस में बदले हुए हैं तथा (c) का अंत L पर होता है।38:T61e,Letter analogy: opposite letters Test the opposite-letter rule: a letter at position n is replaced by the letter at position 27-n (A↔Z, B↔Y, and so on).

14 \to N

— exactly HGVN.

Apply the same rule to DEAR: D=4 gives

27 - 4 = 23 \to W

; E=5 gives

22 \to V

. A=1 gives

26 \to Z

; R=18 gives

9 \to I

27 - 19 = 8 \to H

; T=20 से

7 \to G

; E=5 से

22 \to V

। A=1 से

26 \to Z

with B

\to

\to

T; in (d)

135 \times 2 = 270

with C

\to

U. So the common rule is: double the number and move each letter one step forward. In (b) the letters obey the rule (T

\to

U, C

\to

D) but

94 \times 3 = 282

, so the number is tripled instead of doubled. Option (b) therefore breaks the pattern and is the answer.3b:Ta4b,अक्षर-संख्या सादृश्य प्रत्येक युग्म में संख्या तथा दोनों अक्षरों पर अलग-अलग विचार कीजिए और देखिए कि कौन-सी संक्रिया बाएँ पक्ष को दाएँ पक्ष में बदलती है।

\to

U, C

\to

D), किंतु

94 \times 3 = 282

है, अर्थात् संख्या दोगुनी नहीं बल्कि तिगुनी हुई है। इसलिए (b) पैटर्न का उल्लंघन करता है और यही उत्तर है।3c:T493,Perfect cubes A four-digit number lies between 1000 and 9999, so find the biggest whole number whose cube stays inside that range.

21^{3} = 9261

, which is a four-digit number, while

22^{3} = 10648

already has five digits. So the largest four-digit perfect cube is 9261. The remaining options 9271, 9281 and 9361 lie between

21^{3}

and

22^{3}

, so none of them is the cube of a whole number; option (a) is the answer.3d:T68e,पूर्ण घन चार अंकों की संख्या 1000 और 9999 के बीच होती है, अतः वह सबसे बड़ी पूर्ण संख्या ज्ञात कीजिए जिसका घन इसी परास में रहे।

21^{3} = 9261

है, जो चार अंकों की संख्या है, जबकि

22^{3} = 10648

में पाँच अंक हो जाते हैं। अतः चार अंकों वाला सबसे बड़ा पूर्ण घन 9261 है। शेष विकल्प 9271, 9281 तथा 9361

21^{3}

और

22^{3}

के बीच पड़ते हैं, अतः इनमें से कोई भी किसी पूर्ण संख्या का घन नहीं है; इसलिए उत्तर विकल्प (a) है।3e:T91f,Compound angle formula Split

75^{\circ}

into two standard angles:

75^{\circ} = 45^{\circ} + 30^{\circ}

. Using the given expansion with

A = 45^{\circ}

and

B = 30^{\circ}

\cos 75^{\circ} = \cos 45^{\circ} \cos 30^{\circ} - \sin 45^{\circ} \sin 30^{\circ}

= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2 \sqrt{2}} - \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{3} - 1}{2 \sqrt{2}}

Hence option (c) is the answer.3f:T9a4,संयुक्त कोण सूत्र

75^{\circ}

को दो मानक कोणों में बाँटिए:

75^{\circ} = 45^{\circ} + 30^{\circ}

। दिए गए सूत्र में

A = 45^{\circ}

तथा

B = 30^{\circ}

रखने पर:

\cos 75^{\circ} = \cos 45^{\circ} \cos 30^{\circ} - \sin 45^{\circ} \sin 30^{\circ}

= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2 \sqrt{2}} - \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{3} - 1}{2 \sqrt{2}}

इसलिए सही विकल्प (c) है।40:T617,Ratio after percentage rise Take the numbers as

New values:

2 x \times 1.2 = 2.4 x

7 x \times 1.3 = 9.1 x

5 x \times 1.4 = 7 x

3 x \times 1.1 = 3.3 x

New ratio =2.4:9.1:7:3.3, and multiplying every term by 10 clears the decimals. =24:91:70:33, so option (d) is the answer.41:T76a,प्रतिशत वृद्धि के बाद अनुपात माना कि संख्याएँ

नए मान:

2 x \times 1.2 = 2.4 x

7 x \times 1.3 = 9.1 x

5 x \times 1.4 = 7 x

3 x \times 1.1 = 3.3 x

नया अनुपात =2.4:9.1:7:3.3, और प्रत्येक पद को 10 से गुणा करने पर दशमलव समाप्त हो जाते हैं। =24:91:70:33, इसलिए उत्तर विकल्प (d) है।42:T475,Mixture removed The ratio 5:4 has 5+4=9 parts, so one part

= \frac{720}{9} = 80

litres. Milk

= 5 \times 80 = 400

litres and water

= 4 \times 80 = 320

litres. What is drawn off is mixture, not pure milk, so the 180 litres removed also carry milk and water in the ratio 5:4. Milk removed

= \frac{5}{9} \times 180 = 100

litres

Milk left =400-100=300 litres, so option (a) is the answer.43:T5d0,मिश्रण निकालना अनुपात 5:4 में 5+4=9 भाग हैं, अतः एक भाग

= \frac{720}{9} = 80

लीटर। दूध

= 5 \times 80 = 400

लीटर तथा पानी

= 4 \times 80 = 320

लीटर। निकाला गया द्रव मिश्रण है, शुद्ध दूध नहीं, अतः निकाले गए 180 लीटर में भी दूध और पानी 5:4 के अनुपात में ही हैं। निकाला गया दूध

= \frac{5}{9} \times 180 = 100

लीटर

शेष दूध =400-100=300 लीटर, इसलिए उत्तर विकल्प (a) है।44:T81e,Trigonometric identity Given:

\sec θ + \tan θ = 6

... (i) Identity:

\sec^{2} θ - \tan^{2} θ = 1

, which factorises as

(\sec θ + \tan θ) (\sec θ - \tan θ) = 1

. Putting (i) into it:

6 \times (\sec θ - \tan θ) = 1

, so

\sec θ - \tan θ = \frac{1}{6}

... (ii) Adding (i) and (ii):

2 \sec θ = 6 + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{37}{6}

\sec θ = \frac{37}{12}

\cos θ = \frac{1}{\sec θ} = \frac{12}{37}

, so option (b) is the answer.45:T8e6,त्रिकोणमितीय सर्वसमिका दिया है:

\sec θ + \tan θ = 6

... (i) सर्वसमिका:

\sec^{2} θ - \tan^{2} θ = 1

, जिसका गुणनखंडन

(\sec θ + \tan θ) (\sec θ - \tan θ) = 1

है। इसमें (i) रखने पर:

6 \times (\sec θ - \tan θ) = 1

, अतः

\sec θ - \tan θ = \frac{1}{6}

... (ii) (i) तथा (ii) को जोड़ने पर:

2 \sec θ = 6 + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{37}{6}

\sec θ = \frac{37}{12}

\cos θ = \frac{1}{\sec θ} = \frac{12}{37}

, इसलिए उत्तर विकल्प (b) है।46:T464,Relative speed - chase In a chase both vehicles move the same way, so the bike gains only at the relative speed 95-50=45 km/hr.

Time to close the 24 km gap

= \frac{24}{45}

= \frac{24}{45} \times 60 = 32

minutes, so t=32. Therefore t-15=32-15=17 minutes. Distance covered by the bike in 17 minutes

= 95 \times \frac{17}{60} = \frac{1615}{60} = 26.9

km (nearly). This is nearest to 27 km, so option (c) is correct.47:T61f,सापेक्ष चाल - पीछा करना पीछा करने की स्थिति में दोनों वाहन एक ही दिशा में चलते हैं, अतः बाइक केवल सापेक्ष चाल 95-50=45 km/hr से ही दूरी घटाती है।

24 km का अंतर समाप्त करने में लगा समय

= \frac{24}{45}

घंटा

= \frac{24}{45} \times 60 = 32

मिनट, अतः t=32। इसलिए t-15=32-15=17 मिनट। 17 मिनट में बाइक द्वारा तय दूरी

= 95 \times \frac{17}{60} = \frac{1615}{60} = 26.9

km (लगभग)। यह मान 27 km के सर्वाधिक निकट है, इसलिए सही विकल्प (c) है।48:T712,Surds - square identity Here x and y are of the form a+b and a-b with

a = \sqrt{13}

and

b = \sqrt{5}

. Use the identity

{(a + b)}^{2} + {(a - b)}^{2} = 2 (a^{2} + b^{2})

; the cross terms cancel, so no surd survives. Hence

x^{2} + y^{2} = 2 ({(\sqrt{13})}^{2} + {(\sqrt{5})}^{2}) = 2 (13 + 5)

= 2 \times 18 = 36

. So option (a) is correct.49:T80a,करणी - वर्ग सर्वसमिका यहाँ x तथा y क्रमशः a+b तथा a-b के रूप में हैं, जहाँ

b = \sqrt{5}

है। सूत्र:

{(a + b)}^{2} + {(a - b)}^{2} = 2 (a^{2} + b^{2})

; इसमें मध्य पद कट जाते हैं, अतः कोई करणी शेष नहीं रहती। अतः

x^{2} + y^{2} = 2 ({(\sqrt{13})}^{2} + {(\sqrt{5})}^{2}) = 2 (13 + 5)

।

= 2 \times 18 = 36

। इसलिए सही विकल्प (a) है।4a:T9ca,Surds - simplification

a + b = (\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5}) + (\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5}) = 2 \sqrt{7}

a - b = (\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5}) - (\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5}) = 2 \sqrt{5}

. So

\frac{a + b}{a - b} = \frac{2 \sqrt{7}}{2 \sqrt{5}} = \sqrt{\frac{7}{5}} = \frac{\sqrt{35}}{5}

. Numerically

\frac{\sqrt{35}}{5} = \frac{5.916}{5} = 1.183

(nearly). The given options are worth

\frac{3 \sqrt{6}}{5} = 1.47

\frac{2 \sqrt{6}}{3} = 1.63

and

\frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{7} = 0.49

, none of which equals 1.183. Hence option (d) is correct.4b:Taa1,करणी - सरलीकरण

a + b = (\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5}) + (\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5}) = 2 \sqrt{7}

।

a - b = (\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{5}) - (\sqrt{7} - \sqrt{5}) = 2 \sqrt{5}

। अतः

\frac{a + b}{a - b} = \frac{2 \sqrt{7}}{2 \sqrt{5}} = \sqrt{\frac{7}{5}} = \frac{\sqrt{35}}{5}

। संख्यात्मक रूप में

\frac{\sqrt{35}}{5} = \frac{5.916}{5} = 1.183

(लगभग)। दिए गए विकल्पों के मान

\frac{3 \sqrt{6}}{5} = 1.47

\frac{2 \sqrt{6}}{3} = 1.63

तथा

\frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{7} = 0.49

हैं, इनमें से कोई भी 1.183 के बराबर नहीं है। इसलिए सही विकल्प (d) है।4c:T5df,Area - tiling a floor Let the tile be 5x cm long and 4x cm broad. Perimeter of the tile:

2 (5 x + 4 x) = 288 \Rightarrow 18 x = 288 \Rightarrow x = 16

. So the tile measures

5 \times 16 = 80

cm by

4 \times 16 = 64

cm, and its area

= 80 \times 64 = 5120

cm². Floor: 25.6 m =2560 cm, 14.4 m =1440 cm, so its area

= 2560 \times 1440 = 3686400

cm².

Number of tiles

= \frac{3686400}{5120} = 720

. Hence option (a) is correct.4d:T70f,क्षेत्रफल - फर्श पर टाइल माना कि टाइल की लंबाई 5x cm तथा चौड़ाई 4x cm है। टाइल का परिमाप:

2 (5 x + 4 x) = 288 \Rightarrow 18 x = 288 \Rightarrow x = 16

। अतः टाइल की माप

5 \times 16 = 80

cm ×

4 \times 16 = 64

cm है तथा उसका क्षेत्रफल

= 80 \times 64 = 5120

cm² है। फर्श: 25.6 m =2560 cm, 14.4 m =1440 cm, अतः उसका क्षेत्रफल

= 2560 \times 1440 = 3686400

cm²।

टाइलों की संख्या

= \frac{3686400}{5120} = 720

। इसलिए सही विकल्प (a) है।4e:T430,Rectangle - diagonal and area The diagonal of a rectangle divides it into two right triangles whose legs are the two sides.

By Pythagoras, other side

= \sqrt{15^{2} - 9^{2}} = \sqrt{225 - 81} = \sqrt{144} = 12

cm. Area = length

\times

breadth

= 12 \times 9 = 108

cm². So the other side is 12 cm and the area 108 cm², i.e. option (b) is correct.4f:T5b0,आयत - विकर्ण तथा क्षेत्रफल आयत का विकर्ण उसे दो समकोण त्रिभुजों में बाँट देता है जिनकी भुजाएँ आयत की दोनों भुजाएँ होती हैं।

पाइथागोरस प्रमेय से, दूसरी भुजा

= \sqrt{15^{2} - 9^{2}} = \sqrt{225 - 81} = \sqrt{144} = 12

cm। क्षेत्रफल = लंबाई

\times

चौड़ाई

= 12 \times 9 = 108

cm²। अतः दूसरी भुजा 12 cm तथा क्षेत्रफल 108 cm² है, इसलिए सही विकल्प (b) है।50:T513,Average of consecutive numbers For an odd count of equally spaced numbers the average is the middle term, so the 4th of the seven even numbers is 50. The seven numbers are therefore 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56 and their sum

= 7 \times 50 = 350

. The next 5 consecutive even numbers are 58, 60, 62, 64, 66, with sum

= \frac{5}{2} (58 + 66) = \frac{5}{2} \times 124 = 310

New average

= \frac{350 + 310}{7 + 5} = \frac{660}{12} = 55

. Hence option (d) is correct.51:T66d,क्रमागत संख्याओं का औसत समान अंतर वाली विषम संख्या में पदों का औसत बीच का पद होता है, अतः सात सम संख्याओं में चौथी संख्या 50 है। इसलिए वे सात संख्याएँ 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56 हैं तथा उनका योग

= 7 \times 50 = 350

है। अगली 5 क्रमागत सम संख्याएँ 58, 60, 62, 64, 66 हैं, जिनका योग

= \frac{5}{2} (58 + 66) = \frac{5}{2} \times 124 = 310

है।

नया औसत

= \frac{350 + 310}{7 + 5} = \frac{660}{12} = 55

। इसलिए सही विकल्प (d) है।52:T623,Compound interest rate For compound interest, amount

= P {(1 + \frac{r}{100})}^{n}

. Here the sum becomes 25 times in 2 years, so

P {(1 + \frac{r}{100})}^{2} = 25 P

{(1 + \frac{r}{100})}^{2} = 25 \Rightarrow 1 + \frac{r}{100} = 5

(the positive root).

\frac{r}{100} = 4 \Rightarrow r = 400 %

per annum. Check:

P \to 5 P \to 25 P

in two years, which fits. Hence option (d) is correct.53:T75f,चक्रवृद्धि ब्याज दर चक्रवृद्धि ब्याज में मिश्रधन

= P {(1 + \frac{r}{100})}^{n}

होता है। यहाँ धनराशि 2 वर्षों में 25 गुनी हो जाती है, अतः

P {(1 + \frac{r}{100})}^{2} = 25 P

।

{(1 + \frac{r}{100})}^{2} = 25 \Rightarrow 1 + \frac{r}{100} = 5

(धनात्मक मूल)।

\frac{r}{100} = 4 \Rightarrow r = 400 %

वार्षिक। जाँच: दो वर्षों में

P \to 5 P \to 25 P

, जो प्रश्न के अनुकूल है। इसलिए सही विकल्प (d) है।54:T7ae,Time, speed and distance Let the normal speed be v km/h, so the increased speed is (v+20) km/h. Starting 40 minutes late, the faster journey must save

\frac{40}{60} = \frac{2}{3}

hour over the same 160 km.

\frac{160}{v} - \frac{160}{v + 20} = \frac{2}{3}

160 \times \frac{(v + 20) - v}{v (v + 20)} = \frac{2}{3} \Rightarrow \frac{3200}{v^{2} + 20 v} = \frac{2}{3}

9600 = 2 v^{2} + 40 v \Rightarrow v^{2} + 20 v - 4800 = 0

. (v+80)(v-60)=0, and speed cannot be negative, so v=60 km/h. Hence option (a) is correct.55:T8d0,समय, चाल और दूरी माना कि सामान्य चाल v km/h है, अतः बढ़ी हुई चाल (v+20) km/h होगी। 40 मिनट देर से चलने के कारण उसी 160 km में तेज़ यात्रा से

\frac{40}{60} = \frac{2}{3}

घंटे की बचत करनी होगी।

अतः

\frac{160}{v} - \frac{160}{v + 20} = \frac{2}{3}

।

160 \times \frac{(v + 20) - v}{v (v + 20)} = \frac{2}{3} \Rightarrow \frac{3200}{v^{2} + 20 v} = \frac{2}{3}

।

9600 = 2 v^{2} + 40 v \Rightarrow v^{2} + 20 v - 4800 = 0

। (v+80)(v-60)=0, तथा चाल ऋणात्मक नहीं हो सकती, अतः v=60 km/h। इसलिए सही विकल्प (a) है।56:T67d,Percentage - win ratio Let x matches be played before the losing streak. Matches won

= 60 %

x = \frac{3 x}{5}

; since the next 10 matches are all losses, the number of wins stays

\frac{3 x}{5}

After the streak the matches played become x+10 and the winning percentage is

50 %

. So

\frac{3 x / 5}{x + 10} = \frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \frac{6 x}{5} = x + 10

6 x = 5 x + 50 \Rightarrow x = 50

. Check: 30 wins in 50 matches is 60%, and 30 wins in 60 matches is 50%. Hence option (b) is correct.57:T871,प्रतिशत - जीत अनुपात माना कि हार के क्रम से पहले x मैच खेले गए। जीते गए मैच =x का

60 % = \frac{3 x}{5}

; अगले 10 मैच सभी हारे गए हैं, अतः जीत की संख्या

\frac{3 x}{5}

ही बनी रहती है।

हार के क्रम के बाद खेले गए कुल मैच x+10 हो जाते हैं तथा जीत प्रतिशत

50 %

है। अतः

\frac{3 x / 5}{x + 10} = \frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \frac{6 x}{5} = x + 10

।

6 x = 5 x + 50 \Rightarrow x = 50

। जाँच: 50 मैचों में 30 जीत

= 60 %

तथा 60 मैचों में 30 जीत

= 50 %

। इसलिए सही विकल्प (b) है।1d:["$","$L27",null,{"mode":"exam","dropped":0,"bilingual":true,"choiceSubjects":[],"questions":[{"id":6701,"n":1,"subject":"English Language","stem":"Which sentence is grammatically correct?","stemHi":null,"context":null,"contextHi":null,"options":[{"key":"a","text":"Neither of the boys are misbehaving.","textHi":null,"imageUrl":null},{"key":"b","text":"Everyone is deeply concerned about the deteriorating air quality.","textHi":null,"imageUrl":null},{"key":"c","text":"Many a man has sacrificed for the safety of this nation.","textHi":null,"imageUrl":null},{"key":"d","text":"The number of emigrants has reduced significantly.","textHi":null,"imageUrl":null}],"correct":"a","sol":"Subject-verb agreement\nEach of the four sentences rests on a subject-verb agreement rule, so test them one at a time.\n $\"figure\"/$ \n'Neither of + plural noun' points to one of two persons, so the subject is singular and demands 'is': Neither of the boys is misbehaving.\n'Everyone' is a singular indefinite pronoun, 'Many a + singular noun' is always treated as singular, and in 'The number of ...' the head word is the singular 'number' - so (b), (c) and (d) each carry the singular verb their subject requires.\nOnly option (a) places the plural 'are' after a singular subject, so option (a) is the answer.","solHi":null,"pos":2,"neg":0.5},{"id":6702,"n":2,"subject":"English Language","stem":"Spot the error in the given sentence.
