This is a coding-decoding question based on the English alphabetical series. We need to identify the pattern of letter shifts between the given pairs of words and then apply the same pattern to the target word.
Correct Option: B) SPMZ is the result of applying the +4 shift to each letter of OLIV.
This is a logical reasoning problem involving the arrangement of boxes. We need to deduce the exact order of the seven boxes (A, B, C, D, E, F, Y) based on the given clues and then determine the number of boxes between C and B.
Clue 1: Only D is kept above F.
This means D is immediately above F, and no other box is between them. Also, D and F must be at the top of the stack, or at least D is the highest among a group of boxes that includes F. This implies a sequence like: D, F, ...
Clue 2: Only three boxes are kept between D and A.
Combining with Clue 1, we have D, F. If there are three boxes between D and A, and D is above F, then A must be below D. The arrangement would look like:
D
F
Box 1
Box 2
Box 3
AThis means D is at position 1, F at 2, and A at 6. Since there are 7 boxes in total, the remaining box (let's call it Box 4) must be below A, or the three boxes between D and A are not F, but F is immediately below D, and then three boxes, then A. Let's re-evaluate. If D is above F, and only D is above F, this means F is the second box from the top. So, D is at the very top. Then F is second. Then three boxes between D and A means A is at position 5. This is not possible as F is already at position 2. So, the interpretation "Only D is kept above F" means that D is immediately above F, and no other box is above D. This means D is the topmost box, and F is second. Let's assume this interpretation.
1. D
2. F
3. _
4. _
5. _
6. A
7. _This arrangement satisfies "Only D is kept above F" (meaning D is at the top, and F is directly below it, and nothing else is above F except D) and "Only three boxes are kept between D and A" (boxes at positions 3, 4, 5 are between D and A).
Clue 3: Only B is kept below E.
This means E is immediately above B, and no other box is between them. Also, B must be at the bottom of the stack, or at least B is the lowest among a group of boxes that includes E. This implies a sequence like: ..., E, B.
Clue 4: Y is not kept immediately above A.
From step 2, A is at position 6. So, Y cannot be at position 5.
Combining the clues:
Current arrangement:
1. D
2. F
3. _
4. _
5. _
6. A
7. _The remaining boxes are B, C, E, Y. We know Y cannot be at position 5. We also know E is immediately above B. This pair (E, B) must occupy two consecutive positions. The available consecutive positions are (3, 4) or (4, 5). If (E, B) are at (4, 5), then E is at 4 and B is at 5. This would mean Y cannot be at 5, which is consistent. But if E is at 4 and B is at 5, then Y cannot be at 5. So, B cannot be at 5. Therefore, (E, B) must be at (3, 4).
1. D
2. F
3. E
4. B
5. _
6. A
7. _Now, the remaining boxes are C and Y. The available positions are 5 and 7. We know Y cannot be immediately above A (position 6). So Y cannot be at position 5. This means Y must be at position 7, and C must be at position 5.
Final arrangement:
1. D
2. F
3. E
4. B
5. C
6. A
7. YAnswer the question: How many boxes are kept between C and B?
C is at position 5. B is at position 4. There are no boxes between C and B if we consider the order from top to bottom. However, if the question implies the number of boxes strictly between them, then C is immediately below B. Let's re-read the question carefully. "How many boxes are kept between C and B?" In our arrangement, B is at 4 and C is at 5. There are 0 boxes between them. This implies my interpretation of "between" might be wrong or the question is tricky. Let's re-check the initial clues.
Let's re-evaluate the interpretation of "Only D is kept above F". This means that D is above F, and no other box is above F. This implies D is the topmost box, and F is the second box from the top. This interpretation seems solid.
Let's re-evaluate "Only B is kept below E". This means E is above B, and no other box is below E. This implies B is the bottommost box, and E is the second box from the bottom. Let's try this alternative interpretation.
Alternative Interpretation for Clue 3:
If B is the bottommost box, and E is second from the bottom:
1. _
2. _
3. _
4. _
5. A
6. E
7. BNow combine with Clue 2: "Only three boxes are kept between D and A". If A is at position 5, then D must be at position 1. (D, _, _, _, A). This gives:
1. D
2. _
3. _
4. _
5. A
6. E
7. BNow combine with Clue 1: "Only D is kept above F". This means D is at the top, and F is immediately below D. This fits perfectly:
1. D
2. F
3. _
4. _
5. A
6. E
7. BThe remaining boxes are C and Y. The available positions are 3 and 4. Clue 4: "Y is not kept immediately above A". A is at position 5, so Y cannot be at position 4. Therefore, Y must be at position 3, and C must be at position 4.
Final arrangement (Revised):
1. D
2. F
3. Y
4. C
5. A
6. E
7. BAnswer the question with the revised arrangement: How many boxes are kept between C and B?
C is at position 4. B is at position 7. The boxes between C and B are A and E (at positions 5 and 6). There are two boxes between C and B.
C) Two
The question asks to identify the correctly matched pair of a reform organization and its founder. This requires knowledge of prominent social and religious reform movements in India and their leaders.
Correct Option: C) Satya Shodhak Samaj – Jyotiba Phule. This pair is correctly matched. Jyotiba Phule founded the Satya Shodhak Samaj (Truth Seekers' Society) in 1873 in Maharashtra, with the aim of uplifting the depressed classes and promoting education among them.

We are given the compound interest (CI) for 2 years at a certain rate and need to find the simple interest (SI) for the same principal, rate, and time. We can use the formulas for CI and SI to establish a relationship and solve for the principal amount first, then calculate the simple interest.
The formula for compound interest is:
\[ \text{CI} = P \left[ \left(1 + \frac{R}{100}\right)^T - 1 \right] \]Let \(P\) be the principal amount.
\[ 280.5 = P \left[ \left(1 + \frac{4}{100}\right)^2 - 1 \right] \]\[ 280.5 = P \left[ \left(1 + 0.04\right)^2 - 1 \right] \]\[ 280.5 = P \left[ (1.04)^2 - 1 \right] \]\[ 280.5 = P \left[ 1.0816 - 1 \right] \]\[ 280.5 = P \times 0.0816 \]The formula for simple interest is:
\[ \text{SI} = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \]The corresponding simple interest would be ₹275.
A) 275 is the correct simple interest calculated based on the given compound interest and other parameters.
The problem requires us to modify a given number based on specific rules for its even and odd digits. Then, we need to find the difference between the greatest and smallest digits in the newly formed number.
D) The difference between the greatest (8) and smallest (0) digits in the new number is \(8 - 0 = 8\).
To find the percentage increase in the cost of the hospital, we first calculate the absolute increase in cost. Then, we divide this increase by the original cost and multiply by 100 to get the percentage increase. Finally, we round the result to the nearest integer.
Increase in cost \( = \) Final cost \( - \) Initial cost
\[ \text{Increase in cost} = \text{₹}1,95,382 - \text{₹}1,82,590 = \text{₹}12,792 \]Percentage increase \[= \left( \frac{\text{Increase in cost}}{\text{Initial cost}} \right) \times 100\%\]
\[ \text{Percentage increase} = \left( \frac{12,792}{1,82,590} \right) \times 100\% \]\[ \text{Percentage increase} \approx 0.070003833 \times 100\% \]\[ \text{Percentage increase} \approx 7.0003833\% \]Rounding \( 7.0003833\% \) to the nearest integer gives \( 7\% \).
D) The calculated percentage increase, rounded to the nearest integer, is 7%. This matches option D.
The question asks about the specific year when the designation of Governor-General of India was changed to Viceroy or Crown's representative. This change was a direct consequence of a significant historical event in British India.
D) Year 1858 — The Government of India Act of 1858, passed after the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857, abolished the East India Company's rule and transferred the governance of India directly to the British Crown. Consequently, the Governor-General of India was designated as the Viceroy of India, acting as the direct representative of the British Crown.
The question asks about the representation of horizontal rows in the periodic table. Understanding the basic structure of the periodic table, including its rows and columns, is key to answering this question.
Correct Option: C) Periods. The horizontal rows in the periodic table represent periods. Elements within the same period have the same number of electron shells.
The question asks about the primary function of ROM (Read-Only Memory) in computer hardware. We need to understand the distinct roles of various memory types and components within a computer system.
B) It holds essential firmware required for booting the system. This is the primary and most critical function of ROM in a computer system. The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) or UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) firmware, which contains the startup instructions, is stored in ROM (or a type of flash memory that functions like ROM).
