Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :
Soon some idea struck her and she went to the window and hollered, 'Roopa! Roopa!' After calling out for Roopa, she had a look at the things that she had brought for her. Roopa had to sit for her home science examination the next day and Tarawati had collected things like some kitchen items, a bucket, a mug and a stool that Roopa required for the practical examination.
While looking at the things that she had collected for Roopa, Tarawati recalled her husband who had died a few years ago. She remembered him berating her for not treating Roopa well. 'Roopa's mother! Do not think only sons deserve all love and care and not daughters'. I'm determined to give Roopa good education so that she leads a happy and meaningful life. You are not educated yourself. That's probably why you don't want her to be educated. This is not fair on your part. You must change your views and let her grow and flower into a happy, confident individual.'
Thinking of her husband's admonition on this account, Tarawati felt emotional. The fact of the matter was that Roopa's parents differed on Roopa's upbringing and fought with each other on the issue. The fight continued for days together and often it was Roopa who intervened to broker peace between them. On his death-bed too, Roopa's father had cried and pleaded with her to treat Roopa in a nice manner. Hugging Roopa, he had told Tarawati, 'Take care of Roopa. Give her good education and let her decide the course of her life herself.' While recalling the interaction, tears rolled down Tarawati's eyes.
Meanwhile, the evening shadows were getting darker. Tarawati was exhausted and had a headache too. She looked at her dust-laden feet and then around the room. In order to bring some semblance of order, she forced herself to get up and get going. Then she called her daughter again, Roopa! Roopa!'.
The next day, Roopa had to appear in her examination in __________.

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :
A couple of days later, there was a music recital in the Bharatendu Auditorium, one of the two largest auditoriums in town. One of the performers was Ustad Majeed Khan.
Lata and Malati both managed to get tickets. So did Hema, a tall, thin and high-spirited friend of theirs who lived with innumerable cousins–boys and girls–in a house not far from Nabiganj. They were all under the care of a strict elder member of the family who was referred to by everyone as Tauji. Hema's Tauji had quite a job on his hands, as he was not only responsible for the well-being and reputation of the girls of the family but also had to make sure that the boys did not get into the countless kinds of mischief that boys are prone to. He had often cursed his luck that he was the sole representative in a university town of a large and far-flung family. He had on occasions threatened to send everyone straight back home when they had caused him more trouble than he could bear. But his wife, Taiji to everyone, thought she herself had been brought up with almost no liberty or latitude, felt it was a great pity that her nieces and grandnieces should be similarly constrained. She managed to obtain for the girls what they could not obtain by a more direct approach.
This evening Hema and her cousin had thus succeeded in reserving the use of Tauji's large maroon Packard car and went around town collecting their friends for the concert. No sooner was Tauji out of sight than they had entirely forgotten his outraged parting comment. "Flowers ? Flowers in your hair ? Rushing off in exam time- and listening to all this pleasure - music! Everyone will think you are completely dissolute–you will never get married."

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 5 ] :
It takes 5 hours to mow a garden. In one hour, what per cent of the garden will be mowed?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
20 per cent of the garden will be mowed in one hour. If the whole garden takes 5 hours, then in one hour 1/5 of the work is done, and \[\frac{1}{5} \times 100 = 20\] per cent. The options 15, 18 and 21 per cent would need the work to take about 6.7, 5.6 or 4.8 hours. Dividing 100 per cent by 5 hours gives the share per hour, 20 per cent. If it were 15, 18 or 21 per cent per hour, the garden would take about 6.67, 5.56 or 4.76 hours, and the question says it takes exactly five, so only 20 per cent fits.
How many numbers between 200 and 400 are divisible by 3, 4, and 5?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
A number divisible by 3, 4, and 5 must be divisible by their LCM.
LCM(3, 4, 5) = \(3 \times 4 \times 5 = 60\).
We need to find the multiples of 60 between 200 and 400.
The multiples are: \(60 \times 4 = 240\), \(60 \times 5 = 300\), \(60 \times 6 = 360\).
There are 3 such numbers.
The top of a 15 metre high tower makes an angle of elevation of 60° with the bottom of an electronic pole and angle of elevation of 30° with the top of the pole. What is the height of the electric pole?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Let the pole be \( h \) m high and let \( d \) be the horizontal gap between the tower and the pole.
From the pole's foot, the tower top is at \( 60^{\circ} \):
\[ \tan 60^{\circ} = \frac{15}{d} \quad\Longrightarrow\quad d = \frac{15}{\sqrt{3}} = 5\sqrt{3} \approx 8.66 \text{ m} \]
From the pole's top, the tower top is only \( 15 - h \) above, at \( 30^{\circ} \):
\[ \tan 30^{\circ} = \frac{15 - h}{5\sqrt{3}} \quad\Longrightarrow\quad 15 - h = \frac{5\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = 5 \]
\[ h = 10 \text{ m} \]
Both sightings share the same \( d \); that is what links the two equations.
If A lends Rs.3500 to B at 10% per annum and B lends the same sum to C at 11.5% per annum then the gain of B in a period of 3 years is?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
\[ \text{SI} = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \]
B pays 10% and receives 11.5% on the same Rs. 3500, so only the 1.5% gap matters.
\[ \text{gain} = \frac{3500 \times 1.5 \times 3}{100} = \text{Rs. } 157.50 \]
Working out the two interests separately gives Rs. 1207.50 received against Rs. 1050 paid - the same Rs. 157.50, for more effort.
Guddi’s swimming speed in still water to the speed of river is 7:1. She swims 4.2 km up the river in just 14 min. How much time will Guddi take to swim 18.4 km down the river?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Write \( b \) for the boat's speed in still water and \( r \) for the stream's. Then
\[ \text{downstream} = b + r, \qquad \text{upstream} = b - r \]
Put \( b = 7k \) and \( r = k \), so
\[ b - r = 6k, \qquad b + r = 8k \]
From the upstream trip, with 14 min = \( \tfrac{7}{30} \) h:
\[ 6k = \frac{4.2}{7/30} = 18 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad k = 3 \]
\[ b + r = 8 \times 3 = 24 \text{ km/h} \]
\[ t = \frac{18.4}{24} = \frac{23}{30} \text{ h} = 46 \text{ minutes} \]
Setting the ratio up with a single unknown \( k \) is what turns two unknowns into one.

Correct Answer : B
The missing term is OPT51.
The number in each term is the sum of the alphabet positions of its three letters: A + B + C = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6, D + F + G = 4 + 6 + 7 = 17, and J + L + N = 10 + 12 + 14 = 36.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The next day Roopa had to appear in her Home Science examination.
The first paragraph says directly: 'Roopa had to sit for her home science examination the next day', and Tarawati had collected kitchen items, a bucket, a mug and a stool for the practical. Chemistry, Biology and English are not mentioned anywhere in the passage, so each of them is a guess with no support in the text.

Identify the word nearest in meaning to 'constrained'.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The word nearest in meaning to 'constrained' is confined.
To be constrained is to be restricted or held within limits, kept from acting freely. In the line about the nieces being 'similarly constrained', it means limited in their freedom, as the aunt herself had been. 'Confined' has the same sense of being kept within limits.
'Arrested' and 'caught' suggest being seized or taken into custody, which is far stronger and more physical than being restricted. 'Laid' (the past of lay) has no connection with limitation at all.

Correct answer: PRSQ
The sentence reads:
This is a letter from a young lady written in the most passionate terms wherein she laments the misfortune of a gentleman who was lately wounded in a duel.
P attaches to letter, and R is a participle describing the same letter, so both stay near it. S opens the wherein clause, and Q is a relative clause describing the gentleman, so it must follow him immediately.

Current Affairs [ Question No: 20 To 20 ] :
Which of the following Bengali actress felicitated Shah Rukh Khan in Kolkata International Film Festival 2022?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The actress was Subhashree Ganguly.
At the inauguration of the 28th Kolkata International Film Festival in December 2022, one report says that the actress Subhashree Ganguly felicitated Shah Rukh Khan, who was a guest of honour. Other reports of the ceremony mention Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee honouring him, so the keyed name rests on that one report.
Ritabhari Chakraborty, Swastika Mukherjee and Koel Mallick are not reported as doing so.
This question rests on a single press report of the opening of the 28th Kolkata International Film Festival, held at Netaji Indoor Stadium, so it is hedged. The ceremony also featured Amitabh Bachchan, Rani Mukerji and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, so no other actress in the list is reported as presenting the honour.
