In many conservative societies, discussing menstrual hygiene openly is still considered a taboo. This cultural restriction, combined with a lack of access to sanitary products, forces many young girls to suffer in silence during their cycles. The shame associated with a natural biological process often leads to high school dropout rates and significant health risks, as many rely on unhygienic alternatives instead of modern medical solutions. However, activists argue that education is the most effective tool to dismantle these outdated perceptions. They believe that providing accurate information to both men and women is essential for creating a supportive environment. Just as society treats nutrition as a basic human right, reproductive health also requires the same level of openness and resources. Unfortunately, the silence surrounding the topic persists in rural areas, hindering progress. Overcoming this taboo involves a shift in mindset across all levels of society. When communities start treating health as a priority over tradition, the cycle of shame can finally be broken. Only by normalizing these conversations can we ensure that no individual is forced to compromise their health or dignity due to societal pressure.2a:T540,Directions (Qs. 19-23): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

\div

and

\times

, so it is worked strictly from left to right.

So 8 ^ 27 % 9 % 4 becomes

8 \div 27 \times 9 \times 4

8 \div 27 = \frac{8}{27}

\frac{8}{27} \times 9 = \frac{8}{3}

\frac{8}{3} \times 4 = \frac{32}{3}

Hence the required value is

\frac{32}{3}

, i.e. option (a).2f:T787,प्रतीक प्रतिस्थापन पहले प्रत्येक प्रतीक के स्थान पर उसका वास्तविक चिह्न रखिए; तब व्यंजक में केवल

\div

और

\times

बचते हैं, अतः इसे बाएँ से दाएँ क्रम में हल किया जाता है।

अतः 8 ^ 27 % 9 % 4 का रूप

8 \div 27 \times 9 \times 4

हो जाता है।

8 \div 27 = \frac{8}{27}

\frac{8}{27} \times 9 = \frac{8}{3}

\frac{8}{3} \times 4 = \frac{32}{3}

अतः अभीष्ट मान

\frac{32}{3}

है, इसलिए सही विकल्प (a) है।30:T588,If

A + B

means

A

is the father of

B

;

A - B

means

A

is the wife of

B; A \times B

means

A

M \times Q - P + N

, and read it sign by sign.

M \times Q

means M is the brother of Q; Q - P means Q is the wife of P; P + N means P is the father of N. Q is the wife of the father of N, so Q is the mother of N - and M is her brother.

In (a) M becomes the brother of the father, i.e. a paternal uncle; in (b) M is a daughter, hence female; in (c) M is the parent of Q, so none of them fits. Hence the correct option is (d).33:T459,Direction sense - turns A right turn is

90^{\circ}

clockwise and a left turn is

90^{\circ}

anticlockwise, so one right turn cancels one left turn. Net turning =10-9=1 right turn, that is

90^{\circ}

clockwise.

He set out facing north, and

90^{\circ}

clockwise from north is east. Note that only the number of turns matters here, not the order in which he made them. Hence the correct option is (a).34:T6ac,दिशा-ज्ञान - मोड़ दाएँ मुड़ना

90^{\circ}

दक्षिणावर्त और बाएँ मुड़ना

90^{\circ}

वामावर्त होता है, अतः एक दायाँ मोड़ एक बाएँ मोड़ को निरस्त कर देता है। कुल मोड़ =10-9=1 दायाँ मोड़, अर्थात्

90^{\circ}

दक्षिणावर्त।

उसने उत्तर की ओर मुख करके चलना शुरू किया था, और उत्तर से

90^{\circ}

दक्षिणावर्त घूमने पर पूर्व दिशा आती है। ध्यान दीजिए कि यहाँ केवल मोड़ों की संख्या महत्त्वपूर्ण है, उनका क्रम नहीं। अतः सही विकल्प (a) है।35:T461,Completing the pattern The figure is a big square cut into four quarters by its two centre lines, with a smaller square drawn inside it. A diamond sits at the mid-point of each side of the inner square, and each mid-point lies on one of the two centre lines. The diamonds on the top side and on the left side are drawn in full; the diamond on the right side is missing its lower half and the diamond on the bottom side is missing its right half. Both missing halves fall inside the bottom-right quarter, which is exactly the quarter marked '?'.

So the missing piece must carry the bottom-right corner of the inner square, a downward triangle hanging from the top edge of the piece and a rightward triangle standing on its left edge. Only option (d) places the corner near the middle of the piece with both triangles cut by those two lines; in option (b) the corner is pushed far into the bottom-right of the piece. Hence the correct option is (d).36:T423,Figure series - rotation Follow the arrow first. It sits at the top-left, then the top-right, then the bottom-right, so it moves one corner clockwise each time, and it points down, then left, then up, so it also turns

90^{\circ}

clockwise each time. In the fourth figure it must therefore reach the bottom-left corner and point to the right. Now follow the hexagon. It sits at the top-right, then the top-left, then the bottom-left, i.e. one corner anticlockwise each time, and its shaded half is upper, lower, upper. In the fourth figure it must therefore reach the bottom-right corner with its lower half shaded.

The star appears in the first and the third figure only, so it is absent from the second and from the fourth. Hence the correct option is (b).37:T4ed,Interchange of signs Swap the two signs everywhere: every

\times

The equation becomes

90 \div 10 \times 12 - 96 + 20

. By BODMAS, division and multiplication are done from left to right:

90 \div 10 = 9

. Then

9 \times 12 = 108

. Now 108-96+20=12+20=32. Hence the correct option is (b).38:T60f,चिह्नों का परस्पर परिवर्तन दोनों चिह्नों को हर जगह बदल दीजिए: प्रत्येक

समीकरण बनता है

90 \div 10 \times 12 - 96 + 20

। BODMAS के अनुसार भाग और गुणा बाएँ से दाएँ किए जाते हैं:

90 \div 10 = 9

। फिर

9 \times 12 = 108

। अब 108-96+20=12+20=32। अतः सही विकल्प (b) है।39:T6ff,Cone - volume and slant height Volume of a cone

= \frac{1}{3} π r^{2} h

; use it first to get the vertical height.

1232 = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7^{2} \times h

1232 = \frac{154}{3} h \Rightarrow h = \frac{1232 \times 3}{154} = 24

So the height is 24 cm. Slant height

l = \sqrt{r^{2} + h^{2}} = \sqrt{7^{2} + 24^{2}} = \sqrt{49 + 576} = \sqrt{625} = 25

Hence the correct option is (b).3a:T79a,शंकु - आयतन और तिर्यक ऊँचाई शंकु का आयतन

= \frac{1}{3} π r^{2} h

; पहले इसी से लंब ऊँचाई निकालिए।

1232 = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7^{2} \times h

1232 = \frac{154}{3} h \Rightarrow h = \frac{1232 \times 3}{154} = 24

अतः ऊँचाई 24 cm है। तिर्यक ऊँचाई

l = \sqrt{r^{2} + h^{2}} = \sqrt{7^{2} + 24^{2}} = \sqrt{49 + 576} = \sqrt{625} = 25

अतः सही विकल्प (b) है।3b:T434,Angles of a parallelogram Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are co-interior angles between parallel sides, so they are supplementary.

Let the two angles be 10x and 8x.

10 x + 8 x = 180^{\circ} \Rightarrow 18 x = 180^{\circ} \Rightarrow x = 10^{\circ}

Smaller angle

= 8 x = 8 \times 10^{\circ} = 80^{\circ}

Hence the correct option is (a).3c:T532,समांतर चतुर्भुज के कोण समांतर चतुर्भुज के दो आसन्न कोण समांतर भुजाओं के बीच के सह-अंतःकोण होते हैं, अतः वे संपूरक होते हैं।

माना कि दोनों कोण 10x तथा 8x हैं।

10 x + 8 x = 180^{\circ} \Rightarrow 18 x = 180^{\circ} \Rightarrow x = 10^{\circ}

छोटा कोण

= 8 x = 8 \times 10^{\circ} = 80^{\circ}

अतः सही विकल्प (a) है।3d:T6d2,Volume of a pyramid The base is an equilateral triangle of side 8 cm, so its area

20 %

Amount

= P {(1 + \frac{40}{100})}^{2} (1 + \frac{20}{100}) = P \times \frac{7}{5} \times \frac{7}{5} \times \frac{6}{5}

= \frac{294}{125} P

Compound interest = amount - principal

= \frac{294}{125} P - P = \frac{169}{125} P

\frac{169}{125} P = 6760

P = \frac{6760 \times 125}{169} = 40 \times 125 = 5000

So the principal is ₹5,000. Hence the correct option is (c).40:T99b,चक्रवृद्धि ब्याज - अपूर्ण अवधि जब ब्याज वार्षिक रूप से संयोजित होता है और समय में आधा वर्ष शेष रहता है, तो उस आधे वर्ष पर आधी दर अर्थात्

20 %

की दर से साधारण ब्याज लगता है।

मिश्रधन

= P {(1 + \frac{40}{100})}^{2} (1 + \frac{20}{100}) = P \times \frac{7}{5} \times \frac{7}{5} \times \frac{6}{5}

= \frac{294}{125} P

चक्रवृद्धि ब्याज = मिश्रधन - मूलधन

= \frac{294}{125} P - P = \frac{169}{125} P

\frac{169}{125} P = 6760

P = \frac{6760 \times 125}{169} = 40 \times 125 = 5000

अतः मूलधन ₹5,000 है। अतः सही विकल्प (c) है।41:T4ab,Weighted average Number of females

= 60 %

800 = \frac{60}{100} \times 800 = 480

Number of males =800-480=320

Total height of all members

= 320 \times 150 + 480 \times 170 = 48000 + 81600 = 129600

cm Average height

= \frac{total height}{total members} = \frac{129600}{800} = 162

cm Hence the correct option is (d).42:T4f1,भारित औसत महिलाओं की संख्या =800 का

60 % = \frac{60}{100} \times 800 = 480

पुरुषों की संख्या =800-480=320

सभी सदस्यों की कुल ऊँचाई

= 320 \times 150 + 480 \times 170 = 48000 + 81600 = 129600

cm औसत ऊँचाई

= \frac{कुल ऊँचाई}{कुल सदस्य} = \frac{129600}{800} = 162

cm इसलिए सही विकल्प (d) है।43:T5f1,Square root 8464 ends in the digit 4, so its square root must end in 2 or 8 (since

2^{2} = 4

and

8^{2} = 64

90^{2} = 8100

and

95^{2} = 9025

, so the root lies between 90 and 95; only 92 from that range fits the last-digit test. Check:

92^{2} = {(90 + 2)}^{2} = 8100 + 2 \times 90 \times 2 + 4 = 8100 + 360 + 4 = 8464

\sqrt{8464} = 92

Hence the correct option is (d).44:T70f,वर्गमूल 8464 का इकाई अंक 4 है, अतः इसके वर्गमूल का इकाई अंक 2 अथवा 8 ही होगा (क्योंकि

2^{2} = 4

और

8^{2} = 64

)।

90^{2} = 8100

तथा

95^{2} = 9025

है, अतः वर्गमूल 90 और 95 के बीच है; इस परास में इकाई-अंक की शर्त केवल 92 पूरी करता है। जाँच:

92^{2} = {(90 + 2)}^{2} = 8100 + 2 \times 90 \times 2 + 4 = 8100 + 360 + 4 = 8464

अतः

\sqrt{8464} = 92

इसलिए सही विकल्प (d) है।45:T686,Mixture and replacement Milk

= \frac{7}{10} \times 80 = 56

litres and water

= \frac{3}{10} \times 80 = 24

litres. The 16 litres taken out is

\frac{16}{80} = \frac{1}{5}

of the mixture, so

\frac{4}{5}

of each liquid is left. Milk left

= \frac{4}{5} \times 56 = 44.8

litres; water left

= \frac{4}{5} \times 24 = 19.2

litres. Pure milk is added, so only the milk increases: milk =44.8+16=60.8 litres, water stays 19.2 litres.

New ratio =60.8:19.2=608:192=19:6 Hence the correct option is (a).46:T807,मिश्रण और प्रतिस्थापन दूध

= \frac{7}{10} \times 80 = 56

लीटर तथा पानी

= \frac{3}{10} \times 80 = 24

लीटर। निकाला गया 16 लीटर मिश्रण का

\frac{16}{80} = \frac{1}{5}

भाग है, अतः प्रत्येक द्रव का

\frac{4}{5}

भाग शेष बचता है। शेष दूध

= \frac{4}{5} \times 56 = 44.8

लीटर; शेष पानी

= \frac{4}{5} \times 24 = 19.2

लीटर। शुद्ध दूध मिलाया गया है, अतः केवल दूध बढ़ता है: दूध =44.8+16=60.8 लीटर, पानी 19.2 लीटर ही रहता है।

नया अनुपात =60.8:19.2=608:192=19:6 इसलिए सही विकल्प (a) है।47:Tafa,Incentre angle First find the third angle:

∠ C = 180^{\circ} - ∠ A - ∠ B = 180^{\circ} - 50^{\circ} - 80^{\circ} = 50^{\circ}

Since I is the incentre, AI bisects

∠ A

and BI bisects

∠ B

. In

△ A I B

∠ I A B = \frac{50^{\circ}}{2} = 25^{\circ}

and

∠ I B A = \frac{80^{\circ}}{2} = 40^{\circ}

∠ A I B = 180^{\circ} - 25^{\circ} - 40^{\circ} = 115^{\circ}

The same result comes from the standard formula

∠ A I B = 90^{\circ} + \frac{∠ C}{2} = 90^{\circ} + 25^{\circ} = 115^{\circ}

. Hence the correct option is (c).48:Tc27,अंतःकेंद्र पर कोण सबसे पहले तीसरा कोण ज्ञात कीजिए:

∠ C = 180^{\circ} - ∠ A - ∠ B = 180^{\circ} - 50^{\circ} - 80^{\circ} = 50^{\circ}

चूँकि I अंतःकेंद्र है, अतः AI,

∠ A

को तथा BI,

∠ B

को समद्विभाजित करता है।

△ A I B

में:

∠ I A B = \frac{50^{\circ}}{2} = 25^{\circ}

तथा

∠ I B A = \frac{80^{\circ}}{2} = 40^{\circ}

∠ A I B = 180^{\circ} - 25^{\circ} - 40^{\circ} = 115^{\circ}

यही परिणाम मानक सूत्र

∠ A I B = 90^{\circ} + \frac{∠ C}{2} = 90^{\circ} + 25^{\circ} = 115^{\circ}

से भी प्राप्त होता है। इसलिए सही विकल्प (c) है।49:Ta29,Perpendicular lines slope Write the given line in the form y=mx+c:

3 x + 4 y = 16 \Rightarrow 4 y = - 3 x + 16 \Rightarrow y = - \frac{3}{4} x + 4

So its slope is

m_{1} = - \frac{3}{4}

. Two lines are perpendicular when

m_{1} \times m_{2} = - 1

, so the required slope is

m_{2} = - \frac{1}{m_{1}} = \frac{4}{3}

Option (c) is

y = \frac{4 x}{3} - 3

, whose slope is

\frac{4}{3}

; check:

- \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{4}{3} = - 1

. Options (a) and (d) both have slope

\frac{3}{4}

and option (b) has slope

- \frac{3}{5}

, so none of them gives -1. Hence the correct option is (c).4a:Tbdd,लंब रेखाओं की प्रवणता दी गई रेखा को y=mx+c के रूप में लिखिए:

3 x + 4 y = 16 \Rightarrow 4 y = - 3 x + 16 \Rightarrow y = - \frac{3}{4} x + 4

अतः इसकी प्रवणता

m_{1} = - \frac{3}{4}

है। दो रेखाएँ तभी लंबवत होती हैं जब

m_{1} \times m_{2} = - 1

हो, अतः अभीष्ट प्रवणता

m_{2} = - \frac{1}{m_{1}} = \frac{4}{3}

है।

विकल्प (c) है

y = \frac{4 x}{3} - 3

, जिसकी प्रवणता

\frac{4}{3}

है; जाँच:

- \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{4}{3} = - 1

। विकल्प (a) और (d) दोनों की प्रवणता

\frac{3}{4}

है तथा विकल्प (b) की प्रवणता

- \frac{3}{5}

है, अतः इनमें से कोई भी -1 नहीं देता। इसलिए सही विकल्प (c) है।4b:T68c,Length of tangent Let O be the centre of the larger circle (radius OT=10 cm) and P the centre of the smaller circle, so OP=15 cm. The tangent drawn from P touches the larger circle at T, and a radius drawn to the point of contact is perpendicular to the tangent, so

∠ O T P = 90^{\circ}

By Pythagoras in the right triangle OTP:

P T^{2} = O P^{2} - O T^{2}

P T^{2} = 15^{2} - 10^{2} = 225 - 100 = 125

P T = \sqrt{125}

cm The radius 3 cm of the smaller circle is not needed here, because the tangent starts at its centre and not on its circumference. Hence the correct option is (c).4c:T905,स्पर्श रेखा की लंबाई माना कि O बड़े वृत्त का केंद्र है (त्रिज्या OT=10 cm) तथा P छोटे वृत्त का केंद्र है, अतः OP=15 cm। P से खींची गई स्पर्श रेखा बड़े वृत्त को T पर स्पर्श करती है, और स्पर्श-बिंदु पर खींची गई त्रिज्या स्पर्श रेखा पर लंब होती है, अतः

∠ O T P = 90^{\circ}

।

समकोण त्रिभुज OTP में पाइथागोरस प्रमेय से:

P T^{2} = O P^{2} - O T^{2}

P T^{2} = 15^{2} - 10^{2} = 225 - 100 = 125

P T = \sqrt{125}

cm यहाँ छोटे वृत्त की त्रिज्या 3 cm की आवश्यकता नहीं है, क्योंकि स्पर्श रेखा उसकी परिधि से नहीं, बल्कि उसके केंद्र से प्रारंभ होती है। इसलिए सही विकल्प (c) है।4d:T57f,Percentage relations Q=500, and P is 20 percent more than Q:

P = 500 \times \frac{120}{100} = 600

So P+Q=600+500=1100 X+Y is 100 percent more than P+Q, i.e. double it:

X + Y = 2 \times 1100 = 2200

X is 200 percent more than Y means

X = Y + \frac{200}{100} Y = 3 Y

3 Y + Y = 2200 \Rightarrow 4 Y = 2200 \Rightarrow Y = 550

X = 3 \times 550 = 1650

Hence the correct option is (b).4e:T649,प्रतिशत संबंध Q=500 है और P, Q से 20 प्रतिशत अधिक है:

P = 500 \times \frac{120}{100} = 600

अतः P+Q=600+500=1100 X+Y, P+Q से 100 प्रतिशत अधिक है, अर्थात् उसका दोगुना:

X + Y = 2 \times 1100 = 2200

X, Y से 200 प्रतिशत अधिक है, अर्थात्

X = Y + \frac{200}{100} Y = 3 Y

3 Y + Y = 2200 \Rightarrow 4 Y = 2200 \Rightarrow Y = 550

X = 3 \times 550 = 1650

इसलिए सही विकल्प (b) है।4f:T751,Compound interest sum For compound interest, Amount

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

. Dividing the 4-year amount by the 2-year amount cancels P:

{(1 + \frac{r}{100})}^{2} = \frac{12884.08}{10648} = 1.21

1 + \frac{r}{100} = \sqrt{1.21} = 1.1

, so

r = 10 %

Now use the 2-year amount:

P \times {(1.1)}^{2} = 10648 \Rightarrow P \times 1.21 = 10648

P = \frac{10648}{1.21} = 8800

Hence the correct option is (c).50:T888,चक्रवृद्धि ब्याज: मूलधन चक्रवृद्धि ब्याज में मिश्रधन

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

होता है। 4 वर्ष के मिश्रधन को 2 वर्ष के मिश्रधन से भाग देने पर P कट जाता है:

{(1 + \frac{r}{100})}^{2} = \frac{12884.08}{10648} = 1.21

1 + \frac{r}{100} = \sqrt{1.21} = 1.1

, अतः

r = 10 %

।

अब 2 वर्ष का मिश्रधन प्रयोग कीजिए:

P \times {(1.1)}^{2} = 10648 \Rightarrow P \times 1.21 = 10648

P = \frac{10648}{1.21} = 8800

इसलिए सही विकल्प (c) है।51:T435,Simple interest sum Simple interest is

\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}

, so the interest for 12 years minus the interest for 8 years is simply the interest for 12-8=4 years.

\frac{P \times 10 \times 4}{100} = 80

\frac{40 P}{100} = 80 \Rightarrow \frac{2 P}{5} = 80

P = \frac{80 \times 5}{2} = 200

Hence the correct option is (a).52:T500,साधारण ब्याज: मूलधन साधारण ब्याज

= \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}

होता है, अतः 12 वर्ष के ब्याज में से 8 वर्ष का ब्याज घटाने पर 12-8=4 वर्ष का ब्याज ही बचता है।

\frac{P \times 10 \times 4}{100} = 80

\frac{40 P}{100} = 80 \Rightarrow \frac{2 P}{5} = 80

P = \frac{80 \times 5}{2} = 200

इसलिए सही विकल्प (a) है।53:T437,Discount and marked price Let the discount be 100. The selling price is 150 percent more than the discount, so

S P = 100 + \frac{150}{100} \times 100 = 100 + 150 = 250

Marked price = selling price + discount =250+100=350

Required percentage

= \frac{S P}{M P} \times 100 = \frac{250}{350} \times 100 = \frac{500}{7} = 71.42 %

Hence the correct option is (a).54:T4ec,छूट और अंकित मूल्य माना कि छूट =100 है। विक्रय मूल्य, छूट से 150 प्रतिशत अधिक है, अतः

S P = 100 + \frac{150}{100} \times 100 = 100 + 150 = 250

अंकित मूल्य = विक्रय मूल्य + छूट =250+100=350

अभीष्ट प्रतिशत

= \frac{S P}{M P} \times 100 = \frac{250}{350} \times 100 = \frac{500}{7} = 71.42 %

इसलिए सही विकल्प (a) है।55:T489,Time and work Take the whole work as 24 units, so A and B together do

\frac{24}{24} = 1

unit per day. In the first 8 days they finish

8 \times 1 = 8

units. Remaining work =24-8=16 units, and B alone does this in 20 days. B's one day's work

= \frac{16}{20} = 0.8

unit.

A's one day's work =1-0.8=0.2 unit. Days needed by A alone

= \frac{24}{0.2} = 120

Hence the correct option is (b).56:T649,समय और कार्य माना कि सम्पूर्ण कार्य 24 इकाई है, अतः A और B मिलकर प्रतिदिन

\frac{24}{24} = 1

इकाई कार्य करते हैं। प्रारंभ के 8 दिनों में वे

8 \times 1 = 8

इकाई कार्य पूरा करते हैं। शेष कार्य =24-8=16 इकाई, जिसे B अकेला 20 दिनों में पूरा करता है। B का एक दिन का कार्य

= \frac{16}{20} = 0.8

इकाई।

A का एक दिन का कार्य =1-0.8=0.2 इकाई। A अकेले को लगने वाले दिन

= \frac{24}{0.2} = 120

इसलिए सही विकल्प (b) है।57:T4a4,Work on alternate days Take the whole work as the LCM of 24 and 48, i.e. 48 units. P does

\frac{48}{24} = 2

units a day and Q does

\frac{48}{48} = 1

unit a day. Working alternately with P starting, one pair of days finishes 2+1=3 units.

Number of such pairs needed

= \frac{48}{3} = 16

Total days

= 16 \times 2 = 32

The work ends exactly at the close of a Q-day, so no part day has to be adjusted. Hence the correct option is (b).58:T738,एकांतर दिनों में कार्य माना कि सम्पूर्ण कार्य 24 और 48 का लघुत्तम समापवर्त्य, अर्थात् 48 इकाई है। P प्रतिदिन

\frac{48}{24} = 2

इकाई तथा Q प्रतिदिन

\frac{48}{48} = 1

इकाई कार्य करता है। P से प्रारंभ करते हुए एकांतर दिनों में कार्य करने पर, दो दिनों के एक चक्र में 2+1=3 इकाई कार्य होता है।

ऐसे चक्रों की आवश्यक संख्या

= \frac{48}{3} = 16

कुल दिन

= 16 \times 2 = 32

कार्य ठीक Q के दिन के अंत में समाप्त होता है, अतः किसी आंशिक दिन का समायोजन नहीं करना पड़ता। इसलिए सही विकल्प (b) है।1e:["$","$L28",null,{"mode":"practice","dropped":2,"bilingual":true,"choiceSubjects":[],"questions":[{"id":11901,"n":1,"subject":"English Language","stem":"Choose the one-word substitute for the following sentence: Deepak encountered a traveler who moved from place to place without a fixed home or a permanent job.","stemHi":null,"context":null,"contextHi":null,"options":[{"key":"a","text":"Itinerant","textHi":null,"imageUrl":null},{"key":"b","text":"Pilgrim","textHi":null,"imageUrl":null},{"key":"c","text":"Globetrotter","textHi":null,"imageUrl":null},{"key":"d","text":"Voyager","textHi":null,"imageUrl":null}],"correct":"a","sol":"One-word substitution\nThe sentence describes a person who keeps moving from place to place with no fixed home and no permanent job.\nItinerant - travelling from place to place, especially in order to find work; this is exactly the idea in the sentence.\nPilgrim - one who journeys to a holy place for religious reasons, so the motive is faith, not work.\nGlobetrotter - one who travels widely for pleasure, which says nothing about lacking a home or a job.\nVoyager - one who makes a long journey, usually by sea or into space.\nHence the correct option is (a).","solHi":null,"pos":2,"neg":0.5},{"id":11902,"n":2,"subject":"English Language","stem":"Choose the option that has an error in the sentence.\nWhen asked why patients had started the cardio program, 70% of them saw it as vitals.","stemHi":null,"context":null,"contextHi":null,"options":[{"key":"a","text":"When asked why patients had started","textHi":null,"imageUrl":null},{"key":"b","text":"the cardio program","textHi":null,"imageUrl":null},{"key":"c","text":"
