Study the given pattern carefully and select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in it.
The problem involves identifying a pattern in the numbers around and inside the diamond shapes. By observing the relationship between the numbers in the first two diamonds, we can deduce the missing number in the third diamond.
Correct Option: D) 6
The question asks for the full form of PDF in the context of file formats. This is a common acronym in computer literacy and general knowledge, frequently encountered in daily digital interactions.
Correct Option: A) Portable Document Format
PDF stands for Portable Document Format. It was developed by Adobe in the 1990s to present documents, including text formatting and images, in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems. This portability is its defining feature, allowing documents to be viewed consistently across various devices and platforms.
This is a blood relations problem. We need to deduce the relationships between the individuals mentioned in the question to identify Sher's nephew. We will build a family tree step-by-step.
Correct Option: D) Sochio
The question asks about the theoretical angle formed by the pages of a fully open book. We need to visualize how a book opens and relate it to standard angle definitions.
Correct Option: B) A straight angle measures 180 degrees. When a book is fully open, its pages lie flat, forming a straight line, which corresponds to a straight angle.
A tyre has two punctures. The first puncture alone would have made the tyre flat in 9 min and the second alone would have done it in 6 min. If air leaks out at a constant rate, how long will it take both the punctures together to make the tyre flat?
1 \( \frac{1}{2} \) min
3 \( \frac{1}{2} \) min
3 \( \frac{3}{5} \) min
4 \( \frac{1}{4} \) min
This problem can be solved using the concept of "work and time" or "rates". We can determine the rate at which each puncture deflates the tyre and then sum these rates to find the combined rate. The reciprocal of the combined rate will give the total time taken for both punctures together to flatten the tyre.
Correct Option: C) 3 \( \frac{3}{5} \) min
This question tests the basic definitions and properties of prime numbers. We need to evaluate each statement individually based on these definitions.
A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.
Let's list the first few prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, ...
The number 2 is a prime number because its only positive divisors are 1 and 2. However, 2 is an even number, not an odd number.
Therefore, statement 1 is false.
Let's consider two prime numbers. We know that 2 is a prime number.
Case 1: If both prime numbers are odd (e.g., 3 and 5).
The product is \(3 \times 5 = 15\), which is an odd number.
Case 2: If one prime number is 2 (even) and the other is an odd prime number (e.g., 2 and 3).
The product is \(2 \times 3 = 6\), which is an even number.
Since we found a counterexample where the product of two prime numbers (2 and 3) is even, statement 2 is false.
C) Neither 1 nor 2
As established in the step-by-step analysis, both statement 1 and statement 2 are false. Therefore, neither of them is correct.
The question asks about the deity to whom the Elephanta Caves temple near Mumbai is dedicated. This requires knowledge of Indian history and culture, specifically the religious affiliations of prominent ancient Indian cave temples.
Correct Option: D) Lord Shiva
The Elephanta Caves, particularly the Great Cave, are primarily dedicated to Lord Shiva. The caves contain magnificent rock-cut sculptures that depict various forms and manifestations of Shiva, including the famous Trimurti (three-faced Shiva), Ardhanarishvara (half-male, half-female Shiva), and Kalyanasundara (marriage of Shiva and Parvati).
The question asks for the total number of Indian Premier League (IPL) editions held up to the year 2020. To answer this, we need to recall the inaugural year of the IPL and then count the number of seasons consecutively until 2020.
The number of editions can be calculated as:
\[ \text{Number of editions} = \text{Final Year} - \text{Starting Year} + 1 \]\[ \text{Number of editions} = 2020 - 2008 + 1 \]\[ \text{Number of editions} = 12 + 1 \]\[ \text{Number of editions} = 13 \]D) 13 is the correct answer because the IPL started in 2008, and counting each year up to and including 2020 gives a total of 13 editions (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020).
The question asks to identify the South Indian equivalent of the North Indian percussion instrument 'Nagada'. This requires knowledge of traditional Indian musical instruments and their regional variations.
Correct Option: A) Chenda is a powerful cylindrical drum from Kerala, South India, played with sticks. Its loud and resonant sound in temple festivals and traditional performances makes it comparable in function and impact to the Nagada in North India.
