216 = 6^{3}

512 = 8^{3}

1331 = 11^{3}

and

1000 = 10^{3}

— every one of them is a perfect cube. So the pattern is: second number = (perfect cube)

+ 1

216 + 1 = 217, 512 + 1 = 513 and 1000 + 1 = 1001 all obey this rule. For 1331 the rule demands 1331 + 1 = 1332, but the pair given shows 1333. Hence the pair that breaks the pattern is option (c).2e:T6ba,असंगत संख्या-युग्म प्रत्येक युग्म की पहली संख्या देखिए:

216 = 6^{3}

512 = 8^{3}

1331 = 11^{3}

तथा

1000 = 10^{3}

— इनमें से प्रत्येक पूर्ण घन है। अतः पैटर्न है: दूसरी संख्या = (पूर्ण घन)

+ 1

।

216 + 1 = 217, 512 + 1 = 513 तथा 1000 + 1 = 1001 — ये सभी इस नियम का पालन करते हैं। 1331 के लिए नियम से 1331 + 1 = 1332 आना चाहिए, किंतु दिए गए युग्म में 1333 है। अतः पैटर्न का पालन न करने वाला युग्म विकल्प (c) है।2f:T41a,Letter analogy Compare TRIP with VUKR letter by letter, using the positions of the letters in the alphabet.

\to

V is +2, R

\to

U is +3, I

\to

K is +2 and P

\to

R is +2. So the pattern of jumps is

+ 2, + 3, + 2, + 2

. Applying the same jumps to FAST: F +2 = H, A +3 = D, S +2 = U, T +2 = V. This gives HDUV, which is option (c).30:T568,अक्षर सादृश्य अक्षरों की वर्णमाला-स्थिति का प्रयोग करते हुए TRIP की तुलना VUKR से अक्षर-दर-अक्षर कीजिए।

\to

V में +2, R

\to

U में +3, I

\to

K में +2 तथा P

\to

R में +2 की छलाँग है। अतः छलाँगों का क्रम है

+ 2, + 3, + 2, + 2

। यही क्रम FAST पर लगाइए: F +2 = H, A +3 = D, S +2 = U, T +2 = V। इससे HDUV प्राप्त होता है, जो विकल्प (c) है।31:T40b,Square roots Take each square root first, because the bracket has to be simplified before it is squared.

\sqrt{169} = 13

and

\sqrt{64} = 8

. So

{(\sqrt{169} + \sqrt{64})}^{2} = {(13 + 8)}^{2}

= 21^{2} = 441

. Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.32:T5cd,Successive discounts, profit % Let the cost price be 100. Marked 200% above cost price, so Marked price

= 100 + \frac{200}{100} \times 100 = 300

First discount of

40 %

300 \times \frac{60}{100} = 180

Second discount of

10 %

is taken on this reduced price:

180 \times \frac{90}{100} = 162

Selling price = 162, so Profit = 162-100 = 62 Profit

% = \frac{62}{100} \times 100 = 62 %

Hence the correct option is (c).33:T6db,क्रमागत छूट एवं लाभ प्रतिशत माना कि क्रय मूल्य 100 है। क्रय मूल्य से 200% अधिक अंकित है, अतः अंकित मूल्य

= 100 + \frac{200}{100} \times 100 = 300

प्रथम छूट

40 %

300 \times \frac{60}{100} = 180

द्वितीय छूट

10 %

इसी घटे हुए मूल्य पर लगती है:

180 \times \frac{90}{100} = 162

विक्रय मूल्य = 162, अतः लाभ = 162-100 = 62 लाभ

% = \frac{62}{100} \times 100 = 62 %

अतः सही विकल्प (c) है।34:T58d,Angle subtended by an arc The angle an arc makes at the centre is twice the angle the same arc makes at any point on the remaining part of the circle.

Here arc AB subtends

200^{\circ}

at the centre O, and the friend's viewpoint C lies on the other side of AB. Angle at C

= \frac{1}{2} \times 200^{\circ} = 100^{\circ}

Note that the rule uses the whole

200^{\circ}

arc, not the remaining

360^{\circ} - 200^{\circ} = 160^{\circ}

. Hence the correct option is (c).35:T723,चाप द्वारा अंतरित कोण कोई चाप केंद्र पर जो कोण बनाता है, वह उसी चाप द्वारा वृत्त के शेष भाग के किसी बिंदु पर बनाए गए कोण का दोगुना होता है।

यहाँ चाप AB केंद्र O पर

200^{\circ}

अंतरित करता है तथा बिंदु C, AB के दूसरी ओर स्थित है। C पर कोण

= \frac{1}{2} \times 200^{\circ} = 100^{\circ}

ध्यान दें कि नियम में पूरा

200^{\circ}

वाला चाप लिया जाता है, शेष

360^{\circ} - 200^{\circ} = 160^{\circ}

नहीं। अतः सही विकल्प (c) है।36:T5ae,Surface area of hemisphere The curved surface of a hemisphere is half the surface of the whole sphere, so CSA

= \frac{1}{2} \times 4 π r^{2} = 2 π r^{2}

Put r = 14 and

π = \frac{22}{7}

: CSA

= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times 14

= 2 \times 22 \times 2 \times 14 = 1232

So the curved surface area is

1232 {c m}^{2}

. Hence the correct option is (d).37:T708,अर्धगोले का पृष्ठीय क्षेत्रफल अर्धगोले का वक्र पृष्ठ पूरे गोले के पृष्ठ का आधा होता है, अतः वक्र पृष्ठीय क्षेत्रफल

= \frac{1}{2} \times 4 π r^{2} = 2 π r^{2}

r = 14 तथा

π = \frac{22}{7}

रखने पर: वक्र पृष्ठीय क्षेत्रफल

= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times 14

= 2 \times 22 \times 2 \times 14 = 1232

अतः वक्र पृष्ठीय क्षेत्रफल

1232 {c m}^{2}

है। अतः सही विकल्प (d) है।38:T53d,Regular polygon angles At every vertex, interior angle + exterior angle

= 180^{\circ}

. Exterior angle

= 180^{\circ} - 144^{\circ} = 36^{\circ}

The exterior angles of any polygon add up to

360^{\circ}

, and in a regular polygon they are all equal.

n = \frac{360^{\circ}}{36^{\circ}} = 10

So each sensor pad is a regular decagon with 10 sides. Hence the correct option is (b).39:T68f,सम बहुभुज के कोण प्रत्येक शीर्ष पर, अंतःकोण + बाह्यकोण

= 180^{\circ}

होता है। बाह्यकोण

= 180^{\circ} - 144^{\circ} = 36^{\circ}

किसी भी बहुभुज के बाह्यकोणों का योग

360^{\circ}

होता है और सम बहुभुज में सभी बाह्यकोण बराबर होते हैं।

n = \frac{360^{\circ}}{36^{\circ}} = 10

अतः प्रत्येक सेंसर पैड 10 भुजाओं वाला सम दशभुज है। अतः सही विकल्प (b) है।3a:T54a,Similar triangles, shadows At the same moment the sun's rays fall at the same angle everywhere, so the two right triangles formed are similar.

In similar triangles the corresponding sides are proportional:

\frac{h_{1}}{s_{1}} = \frac{h_{2}}{s_{2}}

\frac{4}{3} = \frac{h}{18}

h = \frac{4 \times 18}{3} = \frac{72}{3} = 24

The skyscraper is 24 m high. Hence the correct option is (b).3b:T69b,समरूप त्रिभुज एवं छाया एक ही समय पर सूर्य की किरणें हर स्थान पर समान कोण बनाती हैं, अतः बने हुए दोनों समकोण त्रिभुज समरूप होते हैं।

समरूप त्रिभुजों में संगत भुजाएँ समानुपाती होती हैं:

\frac{h_{1}}{s_{1}} = \frac{h_{2}}{s_{2}}

\frac{4}{3} = \frac{h}{18}

h = \frac{4 \times 18}{3} = \frac{72}{3} = 24

गगनचुंबी इमारत की ऊँचाई 24 m है। अतः सही विकल्प (b) है।3c:T48d,Rate of discount Discount = Marked price - Selling price = 18000-12000 = 6000 The rate of discount is always taken as a percentage of the marked price. Discount

% = \frac{6000}{18000} \times 100

= \frac{1}{3} \times 100 = 33 \frac{1}{3} % = 33.33 %

The exact value is

33.33 %

, so the rounded figure

33 %

in option (a) is not the accurate answer. Hence the correct option is (b).3d:T570,छूट की दर छूट = अंकित मूल्य - विक्रय मूल्य = 18000-12000 = 6000 छूट की दर सदैव अंकित मूल्य के प्रतिशत के रूप में ली जाती है। छूट

% = \frac{6000}{18000} \times 100

= \frac{1}{3} \times 100 = 33 \frac{1}{3} % = 33.33 %

सटीक मान

33.33 %

है, अतः विकल्प (a) का पूर्णांकित मान

33 %

सही उत्तर नहीं है। अतः सही विकल्प (b) है।3e:T5d1,Marked price from profit First find the selling price from the cost price and the profit. Selling price

= 1200 \times (1 + \frac{20}{100}) = 1200 \times \frac{6}{5} = 1440

A discount of

22 %

is allowed on the marked price, so the selling price is

78 %

of the marked price.

M P \times \frac{78}{100} = 1440

M P = \frac{1440 \times 100}{78} = \frac{144000}{78} = 1846.15

Hence the correct option is (a).3f:T6bd,लाभ से अंकित मूल्य सबसे पहले क्रय मूल्य और लाभ से विक्रय मूल्य ज्ञात कीजिए। विक्रय मूल्य

= 1200 \times (1 + \frac{20}{100}) = 1200 \times \frac{6}{5} = 1440

अंकित मूल्य पर

22 %

की छूट दी जाती है, अतः विक्रय मूल्य अंकित मूल्य का

78 %

है।

M P \times \frac{78}{100} = 1440

M P = \frac{1440 \times 100}{78} = \frac{144000}{78} = 1846.15

अतः सही विकल्प (a) है।40:T531,Wheel revolutions and radius In one revolution a wheel covers a distance equal to its circumference,

2 π r

. Total distance = 2.75 km

= 2.75 \times 100000 = 275000

cm. So

875 \times 2 π r = 275000

2 π r = \frac{275000}{875} = 314.2857

r = \frac{314.2857}{2 \times 3.1416} = \frac{314.2857}{6.2832}

r = 50.02

The radius of the wheel is 50.02 cm. Hence the correct option is (a).41:T5e5,पहिये के चक्कर और त्रिज्या एक चक्कर में पहिया अपनी परिधि

2 π r

के बराबर दूरी तय करता है। कुल दूरी = 2.75 km

= 2.75 \times 100000 = 275000

cm। अतः

875 \times 2 π r = 275000

2 π r = \frac{275000}{875} = 314.2857

r = \frac{314.2857}{2 \times 3.1416} = \frac{314.2857}{6.2832}

r = 50.02

पहिये की त्रिज्या 50.02 cm है। अतः सही विकल्प (a) है।42:T6e5,Pythagoras theorem Let the two legs be a and b with a-b = 7 and, by Pythagoras,

a^{2} + b^{2} = 13^{2} = 169

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

, so 49 = 169-2ab, giving 2ab = 120

{(a + b)}^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} + 2 a b = 169 + 120 = 289

a + b = \sqrt{289} = 17

The sides are 12 cm and 5 cm — the familiar 5, 12, 13 triplet, whose difference is 7 cm and sum is 17 cm. Hence the correct option is (a).43:T7d8,पाइथागोरस प्रमेय माना कि दोनों भुजाएँ a और b हैं, जहाँ a-b = 7 तथा पाइथागोरस प्रमेय से

a^{2} + b^{2} = 13^{2} = 169

।

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

, अतः 49 = 169-2ab, जिससे 2ab = 120

{(a + b)}^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} + 2 a b = 169 + 120 = 289

a + b = \sqrt{289} = 17

भुजाएँ 12 cm तथा 5 cm हैं — यही परिचित 5, 12, 13 त्रिक है, जिसका अंतर 7 cm और योग 17 cm है। अतः सही विकल्प (a) है।44:T815,Trigonometric identity Use the algebraic identity

{(A - B)}^{2} = A^{2} - 2 A B + B^{2}

with

A = \sin x

and

B = \cos x

{(\sin x - \cos x)}^{2} = \sin^{2} x - 2 \sin x \cos x + \cos^{2} x

Group the two squares and apply

\sin^{2} x + \cos^{2} x = 1

{(\sin x - \cos x)}^{2} = 1 - 2 \sin x \cos x

Option (a) would be right only if the middle term vanished, which it does not. Hence the correct option is (d).45:T931,त्रिकोणमितीय सर्वसमिका बीजगणितीय सर्वसमिका

{(A - B)}^{2} = A^{2} - 2 A B + B^{2}

का प्रयोग कीजिए, जहाँ

A = \sin x

तथा

B = \cos x

है।

{(\sin x - \cos x)}^{2} = \sin^{2} x - 2 \sin x \cos x + \cos^{2} x

दोनों वर्गों को एक साथ लेकर

\sin^{2} x + \cos^{2} x = 1

लगाइए:

{(\sin x - \cos x)}^{2} = 1 - 2 \sin x \cos x

विकल्प (a) तभी सही होता जब मध्य पद शून्य होता, जो कि नहीं है। अतः सही विकल्प (d) है।1d:["$","$L27",null,{"mode":"exam","dropped":0,"bilingual":true,"choiceSubjects":[],"questions":[{"id":11801,"n":1,"subject":"English Language","stem":"Choose the one-word substitute for the following sentence:\nBecause of his cynical view of the world, Silas spent his later years in bitter seclusion, expressing a deep-seated hatred and distrust for all of humanity.","stemHi":null,"context":null,"contextHi":null,"options":[{"key":"a","text":"Philanthropist","textHi":null,"imageUrl":null},{"key":"b","text":"Altruist","textHi":null,"imageUrl":null},{"key":"c","text":"Misanthrope","textHi":null,"imageUrl":null},{"key":"d","text":"Polyglot","textHi":null,"imageUrl":null}],"correct":"c","sol":"One word substitution\nThe sentence describes a man who cut himself off from society and carried hatred and distrust for the whole of mankind.\n $\"figure\"/$ \n'Misanthrope' is exactly a person who dislikes human beings and avoids their company, which matches 'a deep-seated hatred and distrust for all of humanity'.\n'Philanthropist' and 'Altruist' say the opposite - both work for the good of others - and a 'Polyglot' merely knows several languages.\nHence, option (c) is the most appropriate answer.","solHi":null,"pos":2,"neg":0.5},{"id":11802,"n":2,"subject":"English Language","stem":"Identify the incorrect sentence.","stemHi":null,"context":null,"contextHi":null,"options":[{"key":"a","text":"Working too hard his energy was exhausted.","textHi":null,"imageUrl":null},{"key":"b","text":"Many students prefer studying in a quiet environment where they can concentrate.","textHi":null,"imageUrl":null},{"key":"c","text":"For centuries people believed that the sun revolved around the Earth and that the stars moved.","textHi":null,"imageUrl":null},{"key":"d","text":"You have to be wealthy to dine at that restaurant.
