The problem requires identifying a pattern of mathematical operations between consecutive numbers in the given sets. Once the pattern is identified, we need to find an option that follows the exact same pattern.
A) 3 - 5 - 7 - 11
The problem asks us to identify the letter-cluster that does not follow the same pattern as the others, based on the English alphabetical order. We need to find the positional values of each letter in the clusters and look for a consistent mathematical relationship or sequence.
Comparing the patterns, we observe that options A, B, and D all follow the pattern of adding 2 to the first letter's position to get the second letter's position, and then subtracting 5 from the second letter's position to get the third letter's position. Option C, however, adds 2 to the first letter's position but then subtracts 6 from the second letter's position.
C) KMG is the letter-cluster that does not belong to the group. The pattern for KMG is \(+2, -6\), while for the other clusters, it is \(+2, -5\).
The question asks to identify the Maitraka ruler who issued the earliest land grant in 502 CE. This requires knowledge of the chronology and significant actions of the early Maitraka rulers of Valabhi.

The question asks about the primary factor influencing population growth in Class I cities in India. We need to identify the most significant demographic process contributing to this growth, considering the socio-economic dynamics of India.
D) migration from rural areas — This is the most significant factor contributing to the rapid population growth of Class I cities in India. Rural-to-urban migration is driven by a search for better employment opportunities, education, and improved living standards, leading to a substantial influx of people into these urban centers.
To find the percentage of marks scored by Sudha, we first need to determine the maximum marks of the examination. We can do this using the information provided for Kalpana's marks and percentage. Once the maximum marks are known, Sudha's percentage can be calculated by dividing her marks by the maximum marks and multiplying by 100.
Correct Option: A) 73% is the correct percentage of marks scored by Sudha.
This is a logical reasoning problem involving the arrangement of boxes. We need to deduce the exact order of the seven boxes based on the given clues and then answer the question about the number of boxes above D.
D) 4
The question asks for the dimension of a speed limit. Speed is a fundamental physical quantity defined as the rate at which an object covers distance. To determine its dimension, we need to recall the formula for speed and the basic dimensions of length and time.
B) Length over time. This correctly represents the dimension of speed, which is the ratio of length to time.
Morarji Desai (born 29 February 1896) was commemorated on his 129th birth anniversary in 2025 for his contributions to governance reforms in India. Which of the following commissions did he chair in 1966 to restructure the country's governance?
