Directions : Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the correct/most appropriate options :
The richness of her childhood experience came from living a life, which embraced tradition on one hand and exposure to the world of change, of questioning and questing on the other. Her father’s progressive ideas, his involvement in bringing about change in the restricted Brahminical society, his encouragement of Kamaladevi to follow her own inclinations and yet give her an opportunity to study in a school and participate in all the social functions with which he was involved, as a Senior Revenue Official, gave her confidence. The example of her grandmother, who lived the life of a scholar and fearless woman, who travelled alone without any fear of any social disapproval or adverse consequences, was a fitting example to Kamaladevi, who later travelled all over the world, often risking her life.
Girjabai, her mother was a dominant influence throughout her childhood and youth who set an example by overcoming all difficulties without a murmur. She discarded meaningless social customs and observances. She championed the cause of women. Her conviction was that a woman must educate herself, so that she could be independent and her insistence that Kamaladevi should not only study, but also participate in cultural activities and sports, enriched her daughter’s life.
Kamaladevi went with her mother to Seva Sadan and saw her exhorting women even older than her to become literate. She heard her read to them from the newspapers, magazines and extracts from books by social reformers and nationalists, followed by discussions and saw their attitudes changing. Girjabai’s love for music was shared by Kamaladevi and she was encouraged to learn North Indian and Carnatic music. This love of music was a great source of peace for Kamaladevi in her later years.

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 5 ] :
A can do a work in 14 days and B in 24 days. If they work on it together for 4 days, then the fraction of the work that is left is.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The fraction of the work left is 23/42. A does \(\frac{1}{14}\) of the work in a day and B does \(\frac{1}{24}\), so together they do \[ \frac{1}{14} + \frac{1}{24} = \frac{12 + 7}{168} \] \[ \frac{12 + 7}{168} = \frac{19}{168} \] In 4 days they do \(\frac{76}{168} = \frac{19}{42}\). The work left is \[ 1 - \frac{19}{42} = \frac{23}{42} \] The fraction 19/42 is the work done and not the work left, and the others, 18/42, 45/42 and 33/42, do not match.
Another way: take 168 units of work, the lcm of 14 and 24. A does 12 units and B 7 a day, so 4 days make 76 units, and 92 of 168 are left, which is 23/42.

| Item | Quantity | Price (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Tomato | 1 kg | 40 |
| Potato | 2 kg | 25 |

Sanjay buys \(\frac{1}{2}\) kg tomatoes, 1 kg potatoes, \(\frac{1}{2}\) kg carrot, 250 g chillies and 6 lemons. He gives a note of ₹ 200 to the bill clerk at the counter. How much money will he get back ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
He gets back ₹ 87.50.
Work out each item from the unit prices:
- \(\frac{1}{2}\) kg tomatoes: 40 ÷ 2 = 20
- 1 kg potatoes (2 kg cost 25): 12.50
- \(\frac{1}{2}\) kg carrot (250 g cost 20): 40
- 250 g chillies (100 g cost 10): 25
- 6 lemons (4 cost 10): 15
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{Bill} &= 20 + 12.50 + 40 + 25 + 15 = 112.50 \\ \text{Change} &= 200 - 112.50 = 87.50 \end{aligned} \]
The option ₹ 112.50 is the bill itself, not the change; the others come from slips in one item.
A trekking group is to be formed having 6 members. They are to be selected from 3 girls, 4 boys and 5 teachers. In how many ways can the group be formed so that there are 3 teachers and 3 boys or 2 girls and 4 teachers?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The two cases are mutually exclusive, so their counts add.
3 teachers and 3 boys:
\[ {}^{5}C_{3} \times {}^{4}C_{3} = 10 \times 4 = 40 \]
2 girls and 4 teachers:
\[ {}^{3}C_{2} \times {}^{5}C_{4} = 3 \times 5 = 15 \]
\[ 40 + 15 = 55 \]
Both cases give exactly six members, as required, and no group satisfies both conditions at once - so nothing is double-counted.
By solving expression 4[3s - 2(6s - 8)], answer will be
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Work from the inside out.
\[ 2(6s - 8) = 12s - 16 \]
\[ 3s - (12s - 16) = 3s - 12s + 16 = -9s + 16 \]
\[ 4(-9s + 16) = -36s + 64 \]
The minus in front of the inner bracket flips both its terms, turning \( -16 \) into \( +16 \).
Present ages of Pritam and Anand are in the ratio of 5 : 4 respectively. Three years hence, the ratio of their ages will become 11:9 respectively. What is Anand's present age in years?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Let the present ages of Pritam and Anand be \(5x\) years and \(4x\) years respectively.
Then, \(\frac{5x+3}{4x+3} =\frac{11}{9}\)
\(\Rightarrow\) \(9(5x + 3) = 11(4x + 3)\)
\(\Rightarrow 45x + 27 = 44x + 33\)
\(\Rightarrow 45x - 44x = 33 - 27\)
\(\Rightarrow x=6\)
\(\therefore\) Anand's present age \(=4x=24\) years

'an example by overcoming all difficulties'
The word 'overcoming' means
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
'Overcoming' means conquering.
To overcome a difficulty is to deal with it successfully, to get the better of it. 'Overcoming all difficulties' means conquering them.
'Reaching' and 'not coming' misread the word as built from over and coming. 'Over bearing' (overbearing) means domineering, which is a different word and meaning altogether.

She is one of those students who works hard throughout the year.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: work
In the pattern one of those + plural noun + who, the relative pronoun who refers back to the plural noun, not to one. Here who stands for students, so the verb is the plural work. The reasoning becomes clear if the sentence is rearranged: of those students who work hard throughout the year, she is one. It is the students who work hard; she is a member of that group. The trap is that one sits closest to the verb and pulls the ear towards the singular. The rule reverses when the only is added: in she is the only one of those students who works hard, who refers to the only one, and the singular becomes correct. Watch for that phrase, since it flips the answer.

It should read images.
What is worshipped is an image of a god - a representation made for that purpose. A shape is merely a form, and carries none of the sense of a made likeness.

He asked his teacher, "Need I read this chapter?"
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D

I.Students started picking up their books when the bell rang.
II. There was a huge crowd at the Airport waiting for the President.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: gathering
- I - picking up books when the bell rings is gathering them.
- II - a huge crowd waiting at the airport is a gathering.
Collection comes close for the books but is not used of people waiting; swarming and arraying describe the crowd’s behaviour, not the act of picking things up.

".....ivvirandum
kanenba vazhum uyirku" these two are the eyes of human beings"
Which of the following pair is compared to eyes of all human beings?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The Kural calls numbers and letters the two eyes of living beings, option D.
Virtue and wealth, impartiality and self control, and wealth and love are not the pair named as the eyes.
The couplet (Kural 392) says that the two, numbers and letters, are called the eyes of living beings. It comes in the chapter on learning, and so the pair is learning in its two forms and not virtue and wealth or any of the other pairs offered.
