The question asks to identify the first Attorney General of Independent India. This requires knowledge of key appointments in India's post-independence history, specifically related to constitutional offices.
Correct Option: A) MC Setalvad was indeed the first Attorney General of Independent India, serving from 1950 to 1963.
The problem asks us to identify the letter-cluster pair that does not follow the same pattern as the others. We need to analyze the relationship between the letters in each pair (e.g., QT - PS) to find a common rule for three of them and then identify the one that deviates.
Options A, C, and D all follow the pattern where each letter in the second cluster is one position before the corresponding letter in the first cluster (i.e., a \(-1\) shift for both letters). Option B follows a different pattern of \((+6, +7)\).
B) FD - LK — This pair follows the pattern where the first letter shifts by +6 and the second letter shifts by +7. This is different from the \((-1, -1)\) pattern observed in the other three options.
The problem presents a series of letter-number clusters. We need to identify the pattern in both the letters and the numbers separately to find the missing cluster.
The numbers in the series are 14, 23, 32, 41, 50.
The number series follows a consistent pattern of adding 9 to the previous number. So, the next number will be \(50 + 9 = 59\).
The first letters are N, K, H, E, B.
The first letter decreases by 3 positions in the alphabet each time. So, the next first letter will be B (2) - 3 = -1. Since the alphabet wraps around, -1 corresponds to Z (26) - 1 = Y (25). (Alternatively, B is the 2nd letter. Moving back 3 letters: A, then Z, then Y. So, the next letter is Y.)
The second letters are T, Q, N, K, H.
The second letter also decreases by 3 positions in the alphabet each time. So, the next second letter will be H (8) - 3 = E (5).
The third letters are Z, W, T, Q, N.
The third letter also decreases by 3 positions in the alphabet each time. So, the next third letter will be N (14) - 3 = K (11).
The next cluster will have the letters YEK and the number 59. Thus, the complete cluster is YEK 59.
D) YEK 59 — This matches our derived pattern for both the letters (YEK) and the number (59).
The question asks for a common industrial use of washing soda. We need to identify the correct application among the given options by recalling the properties and uses of washing soda (sodium carbonate).
B) Glass manufacturing — Washing soda (sodium carbonate) is a key ingredient in the production of glass, particularly soda-lime glass, which is the most common type of glass. It acts as a flux, lowering the melting temperature of silica and making the glass-making process more energy-efficient.
The question asks to compare the power requirements of different household appliances. We need to understand the concept of electrical power and how it relates to the function and energy consumption of various devices.
Correct Option: D) higher power
A question is followed by two statements numbered (I) and (II). You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and select the most appropriate answer.
Question: Five trees, S, M, N, O and A, are of different heights. Which among them is the tallest tree?
Statements:
(I) N is taller than A. A is taller than M.
(II) S is taller than M. S is shorter than O.
Data in statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
Data in statements I and II together are sufficient to answer the question.
Data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question while data in statement II is not.
Data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question while data in statement I is not.
The question asks to identify the tallest among five trees (S, M, N, O, A) using the information provided in two statements. We need to determine if the data from statement I alone, statement II alone, or both statements combined are sufficient to answer the question.
A) Data in statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
To find the median of a set of numbers, we first need to arrange the numbers in ascending (or descending) order. Then, we identify the middle value. If the total number of values is odd, the median is the single middle value. If the total number of values is even, the median is the average of the two middle values.
B) 14 is the median of the given set of numbers.
The problem presents an analogy involving letter-clusters. We need to identify the pattern or relationship between the letters within a cluster and between the corresponding letters of the two clusters in the given pair. Once this pattern is found for the known pair (ZWP), we apply the same pattern to find the missing clusters (# and %).
Correct Option: A) # = VSL, % = JGZ. This option correctly identifies # as VSL and % as JGZ, following the pattern of adding 4 to the alphabetical position of each letter from the first cluster to the second in each pair.
This question asks about the characteristics of seeds dispersed by animals. We need to identify the features that would facilitate animal dispersal and distinguish them from features associated with other dispersal methods.
A) have hooks or edible flesh — This option correctly identifies two primary adaptations for animal dispersal. Hooks allow seeds to cling to animal fur (epizoochory), and edible flesh (fruits) encourages animals to consume them, leading to internal dispersal (endozoochory).
To evaluate the given expression, we must follow the order of operations, commonly known as BODMAS/PEMDAS. This acronym stands for Brackets/Parentheses, Orders/Exponents, Division and Multiplication (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
First, evaluate the division:
\[ 32 \div 12 = \frac{32}{12} = \frac{8}{3} \]Now the expression becomes: \(\frac{8}{3} \times 3 - 3 \times 4\).Next, perform the multiplications from left to right:
First multiplication:
\[ \frac{8}{3} \times 3 = 8 \]The expression is now: \(8 - 3 \times 4\).Second multiplication:
\[ 3 \times 4 = 12 \]The expression is now: \(8 - 12\).Finally, perform the subtraction:
\[ 8 - 12 = -4 \]A) The final result of the evaluation is \(-4\).
