7.Which one of the following parts of the sentence, “As you know that the ignorant are easily
duped”, has an error?

A. As you know
B. that the ignorant
C. are easily duped
D. No error

Answer ||| B

Solution |||

The error is in the second part of the sentence. The word ‘ignorant’ is an adjective. It needs a
noun to qualify. Thus, we must add a noun to make the sentence correct. For example, As
you know that the ignorant people are easily duped.

8.Which one of the following parts of the sentence, “After a lot of argument I brought him
forward to my point of view”, has an error?

A. After a lot of argument

B. I brought him forward
C. to my point of view
D. No error

Answer ||| B

Solution |||

The error is in the second part of the sentence.

The phrasal verb “bring somebody/something to something” means to make someone

become involved in a discussion or situation.

The phrasal verb ‘bring forward’ implies to present an argument or proposal, so that people
can consider it.

Forward is used as an adverb to indicate directionality. The preposition ‘to’ serves the same
purpose. Therefore, the use of both the words together will be incorrect. Hence, we cannot
use the phrase ‘brought forward’ and thus, must remove ‘forward’ in part B to make the
sentence correct.

Thus, option B is the correct option.

9.Which one of the following parts of the sentence, “Don’t ask him how he is because if he
starts talking about his health you’ll never get off from him”, has an error?

A. Don’t ask him how he is because

B. if he starts talking about his health you’ll never
C. get off from him
D. No error

Answer ||| C

Solution |||

The error is in the third part of the sentence. The phrase ‘get off from’ is incorrectly used.
The correct use is ‘get off’ as it means ‘to get a chance to leave’. The context implied here is
that once the mentioned person starts talking about his health, you won’t be able to leave by
choice.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.

10.Which one of the following words can be used as a substitute for the phrase, “A nursery
where children of working parents arc cared for while their parents are at work”?

A. Sculler
B. Creche
C. Dormitory
D. Refectory

Answer ||| B

Solution |||

The meanings of the following words are:

Sculler: a person who sculls a boat.

Dormitory: a large bedroom for a number of people in a school or institution

Refectory: a room used for communal meals in an educational or religious institution

Thus, the option which can substitute the phrase is option B, creche.

11.Which one of the following words can be used as a substitute for the phrase, “That which
cannot be taken by force”?

A. Impossible
B. Improbable
C. Impeccable
D. Impregnable
Answer ||| D

Solution |||

Impossible: very difficult to deal with.

Improbable: not likely to be true or to happen.

Impeccable: in accordance with the highest standards; faultless.

Impregnable: so strongly made that it cannot be broken into or taken by force.

So, the correct option is D.

12.Which one of the following is the appropriate question tag in the sentence, “Take a seat,“?

A. shall you?
B. can’t you?
C. won’t you?
D. would you?

Answer ||| C

Solution |||

Sentences denoting a ‘request’, ‘advice’, ‘warning’, ‘wish’, ‘order’, ‘command’, ‘suggestion’

etc are known as Imperative sentences. “Take a seat” is an example of the same and is a
polite invitation. There are only two question tags for imperative sentences,

They are “will you? “or “won’t you?”

for invitations we use “won't you” while for orders we use “will you”.

So, the correct option is C.

13.Which one of the following is the appropriate question tag in the sentence, “Anyone can
make mistakes, _______“?

A. isn’t it?
B. shall they?
C. can’t they?
D. is it?

Answer ||| C
Solution |||

When the main clause begins with the subject “anyone”, "nobody", or "everybody",
"everyone", "no one", etc. “THEY” is used in the question tag. We use the same auxiliary
verb in the tag as in the main sentence. In this it is ‘can’.

So, the correct answer is C.

14.Which one of the following phrasal verbs may be used in the blank space in the sentence,
“He is fond of art and seems (suited) to be an artist”?

A. fit out
B. bring out
C. cut out
D. suit out

Answer ||| C

Solution |||

The phrasal verb should imply the sense of ‘suited’ (right or appropriate for a particular
person, purpose, or situation.).

Fit out: to measure part of someone’s body in order to give them the right shoes or clothing.

Bring out: to make apparent; to present to the public.

Suit out: to prepare to take part in something, especially a sport, by putting on a uniform.

The phrasal verb ‘Cut out (to be something)’ means to be well-suited for a certain position or

“We were happy in the beginning, but now all the troubles have (appeared)”?

A. cropped up
B. come about

D. rushed in

Answer ||| A
Solution |||

Cropped up: appear, occur, or come to one's notice unexpectedly.

Rushed in: begin doing something without the proper preparation.

So, the correct answer is A.

“No one knows how it all ____ (happened)”?

“I have to _____ (finish) this work before I leave tomorrow morning?

A. clear up

Answer ||| A

Solution |||

The phrasal verb should imply the sense of ‘finish’.

Clear up: to give or find an explanation for something, or to deal with a problem or argument.

Clean up: the act of making a place clean and tidy

Finish up: to complete something

Do away with: put an end to; remove.

A. 60 शमनि
B. 55 शमनि
C. 48 शमनि
D. 45 शमनि

Answer ||| C

Solution |||

• Here, the distance between the vehicles= 100 Km.

• Speed of vehicles - 45 km per hour and 80 km per hour respectively

• Time taken by the vehicle to meet each other= Distance/Speed

• Net Speed=45+80=125 km per hour (Since both vehicles are moving towards each other)

• So, Time taken by the vehicle to meet each=100/125=4/5 Hrs=48 Minutes

A. 1,000
B. 1,064
C. 1,100
D. 1,200

Answer ||| C

Solution |||

• Let us suppose the price of the article=x

• The price of the article after it increased by 20%=x*20%=1.2x

• Since there is a tax of 5% on the increment, so the amount of tax=0.2*5%=0.01x

• It is also given that the cost of the article to consumer= Rs. 1,331

• So, cost of the article to consumer=1.2x+0.01x=1.21x= 1331 or x=Rs. 1,100

• So, the price of the article= Rs. 1,100

ववभाजजत किने पि शेषफल क्या होगा?

A. 2
B. 4
C. 5
D. 6

Answer ||| D

Solution |||

• The remainder obtained while dividing x by 61 is 2.

• Hence, the number should be a multiple of 61 added by 2.

• Let’s assume that the number is 61*a+2.

• The remainder obtained while dividing x7 by 61 will be the same as by dividing (2)7 (or
128) by 61.

• After dividing 128 by 61, we get the remainder as 6.

• So, the remainder obtained while dividing x7 by 61 will be 6.

A. 70 km
B. 75 km
C. 80 km
D. 90 km

Answer ||| C

Solution |||

• Here, given that the distance between the vehicles is 120 Km.

• Speed of vehicles (A) is 30 km per hour and Speed of vehicles (B) is 60 km per hour (B)
respectively.

• Time taken by the vehicle to meet each other = Distance/Speed

• Net Speed=30+60 = 90 km per hour (Since both are moving towards each other)

• So, Time taken by the vehicle to meet each = 120/90=4/3 Hrs

• Now Distance travelled by vehicle B in 4/3 hours = 4/3*60 = 80Km

• Distance travelled by vehicle A in 4/3 hours=4/3*30 = 40Km

• If x is the distance travelled by the slower vehicle A before the two vehicles cross each
other, then x = 80 Km.

• Given the price of a bottle of cold drink is Rs. 10.

• One bottle of cold drink can also be bought by returning 10 empty bottles.

• A person has Rs. 1,000 and 19 empty bottles.

• Let us assume that he buys 91 bottles first for Rs. 910 & consume them.

• Now he has 110 empty bottles (91+19) & 90 Rs in his pocket.

• So, he buys 11 more bottles from empty bottles & 9 bottles from money he is left with.

• He consumes all 20 bottles & left with 20 empty bottles.

• He again buys 2 more bottles from 20 empty bottles.

• At the end he is left with 2 empty bottles.

D. डिब्बे में 100 वें दिन कम-से-कम 150 लीिि हाइड्रोजन गैस बचेगी

Answer ||| D

Solution |||

• Given that a container is filled with 300 litres of hydrogen gas.

• The first day it loses 100 litres of hydrogen gas and everyday it loses one-third of the
volume it lost in the previous day.

• Hence Volume at the end of First day = 200

• Volume at the end of second day=200-100/3 = 500/3

• Volume at the end of Third day=500/3-100/9 = 1400/9

• Volume at the end of Fourth day=1400/9-100/27 = 4100/27

• Volume at the end of Fifth day=4100/27-100/81 = 12200/81

• So, neither it will loss entire hydrogen in 10 days nor it will lose 150 litres of hydrogen gas
in 10 days.

• It will possess at least 150 litres of hydrogen gas on 100th day.

• Here, the circumference of a circle is 2 π cm.

• So, 2 πr=2 π

• r=1 (radius of the circle)

• Then the area of a square inscribed in the circle is=a2

• Now, we know that the relationship between the radius of the smallest
circle (r) which contains a square with the side a is √2r=a or r=a/√2 Here
√2r=a or a=√2

• So, the area of a square inscribed in the circle is=2 cm2
