The problem asks us to identify numbers in a given series that are immediately preceded by a symbol and immediately followed by a symbol. We need to scan the series from left to right and apply this condition to each number.
(Left) 3 % 2 % 2 £ £ & © £ 1 1 8 5 $ 9 9 5 2 & 5 6 (Right)
A) 2 is the correct answer because we found exactly two numbers ('2' and '2') that are immediately preceded by a symbol and immediately followed by a symbol.
The question asks to identify the tribal uprising that did NOT occur around the time of the Revolt of 1857. This requires knowledge of the timelines of various tribal movements in India.
D) Birsa Munda Revolt – This revolt occurred much later, from 1899 to 1900, making it distinct from the period surrounding the 1857 uprising.
The question asks why small and marginal farmers faced challenges in adopting Green Revolution technologies, which were known to be input-intensive and scale-sensitive. We need to identify the primary economic and logistical barriers for these farmers.
B) High input costs and credit inaccessibility. This option directly addresses the economic constraints faced by small and marginal farmers. The Green Revolution technologies, while promising higher yields, demanded substantial investment in seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and irrigation. Small farmers, with their limited financial resources and often poor access to institutional credit, found it difficult to bear these costs. This led to a widening gap between large and small farmers, as the former could more easily adopt and benefit from the new technologies.
The question asks about the historical role of Libia Lobo Sardesai, who was awarded the Padma Shri in January 2025. This requires knowledge of prominent figures in Indian history, particularly those recognized recently for their contributions.
Correct Option: A) Goa's liberation movement activist
Libia Lobo Sardesai was a prominent figure in the Goa Liberation Movement. She, along with her husband, played a crucial role by operating the underground radio station "Voice of Freedom" (Radio Free Goa) from 1955 to 1961. Through these broadcasts, they disseminated news, encouraged resistance, and countered Portuguese propaganda, significantly contributing to the eventual liberation of Goa from colonial rule. Her contributions were recognized with the Padma Shri in January 2025.
To solve this problem, we need to first identify the even and odd digits in the given number. Then, we apply the given rule: add 2 to each even digit and add 2 to each odd digit. Finally, we identify the odd digits in the new number formed and calculate their sum.
Correct Option: D) 24
The question asks for the primary objective of the Bills of Lading Bill, 2025, passed by India's Parliament. To answer this, we need to recall the context and purpose of this specific legislation.
Correct Option: D) To modernise the 169-year-old shipping law
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 positional values of the letters in the English alphabet for each pair and find a common rule among three of them.
From the analysis, Options A, C, and D follow the pattern where each letter in the second cluster is two positions before the corresponding letter in the first cluster (i.e., \(-2\) for both letters). Option B does not follow this pattern for its second letter.
B) LP - JK — In this pair, the first letter L (12) becomes J (10) by subtracting 2 (\(12 - 2 = 10\)). However, the second letter P (16) becomes K (11) by subtracting 5 (\(16 - 5 = 11\)). This deviates from the \(-2\) pattern observed in the other options.
The given series is an alternating series, meaning it consists of two interleaved sub-series. We need to identify the pattern in each sub-series to find the missing term.
Correct Option: C) 92 is the correct answer because the series follows an alternating pattern where both sub-series decrease by 7 for each step.
The problem asks us to identify a triad that follows the same pattern as the two given triads: QV-SX-UW and NS-PU-RT. We need to analyze the letter positions in the alphabet for each part of the given triads to find the underlying rule.
A) KP-MR-OQ follows the pattern where the first letter of each subsequent pair increases by 2, and the second letter increases by 2 from the first to the second pair, then decreases by 1 from the second to the third pair.
The problem asks us to perform two main steps: first, identify the highest and lowest numbers from the given set of three-digit numbers. Second, extract specific digits from these identified numbers and perform an addition operation as specified.
C) 13 is the correct answer because, as per the step-by-step calculation, the sum of the first digit of the highest number (8) and the third digit of the lowest number (5) is 13.
