Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :
Fitness is zero percent investment with infinite returns. There is a surge in diabetes and hypertension cases and other lifestyle diseases. Fitness is the only thing that can help. But with technology, physical activity has reduced. It has become fashionable to talk about fitness rather than act on it.
Several factors are cited to explain why fitness levels in school children are constantly declining. Children now walk far less than they used to. Instead of walking to or back from their school, they use a school bus, or get dropped and picked in a car. Once back home, they sit glued to the idiot box for several hours or keep playing computer games.
Excessive screen time can negatively impact a child's physical and mental health from increasing the risk of obesity to disturbing sleep patterns. There is neither place nor inclination to play outdoor games. Children's diet consists mainly of fast foods, fried foods, chocolates, crispies, sweets and fizzy drinks. These foods may be delicious and, therefore, tempting, but they are highly deficient in vital nutrients. Parents are often aware of this, but out of misplaced love for children, they hardly ever discipline their eating habits. Girls, usually keen to remain slim, keep dieting unnecessarily and deprive their bodies of vital nourishment.
It is important that children spend plenty of time playing in fresh air and exercise even more than the grown-ups in order that their muscles develop and their bones grow properly. If they can go for a regular swim and walk down to the swimming pool, it would combine the benefits of both walking and swimming. In addition, they should be encouraged to take healthy and wholesome food rich in nutrients to avoid what may be described as convenience foods.

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 4 ] :
A number leaves a remainder of 3 when divided by 5, and a remainder of 4 when divided by 7. What is the smallest such positive number?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Let the number be N. We have \(N = 5k+3\) and \(N = 7j+4\). We can list the numbers satisfying the first condition: 3, 8, 13, 18, 23, ... Now we check which of these leaves a remainder of 4 when divided by 7. \(3\div 7\) rem 3. \(8\div 7\) rem 1. \(13\div 7\) rem 6. \(18\div 7 = 2 \times 7 + 4\). The remainder is 4. So, 18 is the smallest such number.
A rectangular plot measuring 90 metres by 50 metres is to be enclosed by wire fencing. If the poles of the fence are kept 5 metres apart, how many poles will be needed?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Poles stand along the boundary, so first find its length.
\[ \text{perimeter} = 2(90 + 50) = 280 \text{ m} \]
\[ n = \frac{280}{5} = 56 \]
On a closed loop the number of gaps equals the number of poles - the last pole is 5 m from the first - so no "+1" is needed here. That extra pole is required only for a fence along an open line.
50 square stone slabs of equal size were needed to cover a floor area of 72 sq.m. Find the length of each stone slab.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Divide the total area between the slabs, then take the square root.
\[ \text{area of one slab} = \frac{72}{50} = 1.44 \text{ m}^{2} \]
\[ \text{side} = \sqrt{1.44} = 1.2 \text{ m} = 120 \text{ cm} \]
The slabs are square, so the side is the square root of the area - and the answer is asked for in centimetres, hence the factor of 100.
A man's speed with the current is 15 km/hr and the speed of the current is 2.5 km/hr. The man's speed against the current is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Write \( b \) for the boat's speed in still water and \( r \) for the stream's. Then
\[ \text{downstream} = b + r, \qquad \text{upstream} = b - r \]
"With the current" is the downstream speed, so
\[ b + r = 15, \qquad r = 2.5 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad b = 12.5 \text{ km/h} \]
\[ b - r = 12.5 - 2.5 = 10 \text{ km/h} \]
Equivalently, the current is subtracted twice in going from downstream to upstream: \( 15 - 2 \times 2.5 = 10 \). Subtracting it only once gives 12.5 - the still-water speed, offered as the last distractor.

Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series. 2, 6, 24, 120, 720, ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The series 2, 6, 24, 120, 720 is the series of factorials: 2 = 2!, 6 = 3!, 24 = 4!, 120 = 5!, 720 = 6!. Each term is the previous term multiplied by the next whole number, 3, 4, 5, 6. The next term is 720 x 7 = 5040, which is 7!.
\[ 720 \times 7 = 5040 \]
The options 4050, 5400 and 5004 are not 7 times 720, so they cannot be the next term of the series.

Explain the phrase 'out of misplaced love' as used in the passage.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The phrase means love that is harmful, as the key reads it.
The passage says: 'Parents are often aware of this, but out of misplaced love for children, they hardly ever discipline their eating habits.' Misplaced love is affection directed in the wrong way: parents who know the food is poor but still let the children eat it do them harm in the name of love.
'Love that does not exist' and 'love that is blind' say the love is absent or unseeing, but the passage presents it as real and aware ('often aware of this'). 'Love that lacks discipline' describes the result, that parents do not discipline eating habits, more than the love itself, and it is the nearest rival; I could not confirm from a dictionary which of the two the Board meant, so this follows the key.

Correct Answer : D
The term biology was coined independently by Lamarck and Treviranus, both in 1802.
Lamarck used it in France and Gottfried Treviranus in Germany, in each case for a new science of living things that would unite botany and zoology under one set of principles.

Correct Answer : B
The amount of water vapour in the air is called humidity.
Absolute humidity is the mass of vapour per unit volume; relative humidity, the figure quoted in weather reports, is the ratio of the actual vapour pressure to the saturation value at that temperature. Dew forms when air is cooled until its relative humidity reaches 100 per cent.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The teacher is trying to break gender stereotypes.
Science is often stereotyped as a male field. By deliberately using examples of scientists of all genders, the teacher shows students that anyone can be a scientist, challenging the stereotype and widening what girls and boys believe they can do.
The practice does the opposite of reinforcing gender discrimination. Gender identity (a person's sense of their own gender) and gender constancy (the understanding that gender does not change) are developmental milestones, not things a teacher builds by choosing role models.
