Correct Answer : A

The cost is ₹ 198.

The curved surface area of a cylinder is \(2\pi r h\), which is \(\pi d h\) in terms of the diameter:

\[ \begin{aligned} \text{area} &= \frac{22}{7} \times 1 \times 4.2 = 13.2\ \text{m}^2 \\ \text{cost} &= 13.2 \times 15 = 198 \end{aligned} \]

The options 19.8 and 1.98 are the same digits with the decimal point misplaced, and 200 is a rounded figure. Only the curved surface is whitewashed, so the top and bottom circles are not added.

Correct Answer : B

The profit is 20%.

The milkman pays Rs. 1500 for 70 litres, adds 5 litres of water at no cost, and sells all 75 litres at Rs. 24 a litre:

\[ \begin{aligned} \text{SP} &= 75 \times 24 = 1800 \\ \text{Profit} &= 1800 - 1500 = 300 \\ \text{Profit \%} &= \frac{300}{1500} \times 100 = 20\% \end{aligned} \]

15% and 25% come from arithmetic slips, and 30% does not correspond to any reading of the data. Forgetting the water and selling only 70 litres would give Rs. 1680 and 12%, which is not offered.

Correct Answer : A

The ratio of times is 3 : 2.

For a fixed distance, time is inversely proportional to speed, \(t = d/v\):

\[ \begin{aligned} t_K : t_A &= \frac{d}{40} : \frac{d}{60} \\ &= 60 : 40 = 3 : 2 \end{aligned} \]

Karan is slower, so he takes longer, and the ratio of their times is the reverse of the ratio of their speeds (40 : 60 = 2 : 3).

2 : 3 is the speed ratio itself, the usual slip. 1 : 2 matches neither. The data are sufficient, because the distance cancels out, so 'Insufficient data' is wrong.

For an odd number of consecutive terms, the mean (average) is the middle term.

Here, the average of 7 numbers is 20, so the 4th term is 20.

The numbers are: 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23.

The largest number is 23.

Correct Answer : D

The given information can be analysed as follows :
E is not at end. So, E must be in the middle of one of two rows.
D is second to the left of F. So, order of the row must be D -- F.
C is neighbour of E and is sitting diagonally opposite to D means C is under F in the other row 
i.e. D __ F 
__ E C
B is the neighbour of F.
So, the arrangement must be  D B F  &  A E C
Other than D and C (given), A and F are sitting diagonally opposite to each other, as seen in the arrangement.
So, the answer is (d).

Correct Answer : C

The lady is Kaushik's aunt.

Work from the inside out. The husband of Kaushik's mother is his father. The mother of his father is his paternal grandmother. The daughter of his paternal grandmother is his father's sister, his aunt.

The grandmother is the woman described in the middle of the chain, not the lady herself. A sister would have to be a daughter of Kaushik's mother, and 'Brother' cannot describe a lady at all.

Correct answer: 94

Every gap is the same: the differences run -14, -14, -14, so the common difference is -14. Applying it once more to the final term, 108 - 14 gives 94. As a check, subtracting -14 from the answer returns 108, the term before it, and repeating that recovers the whole series. Once the difference is known the series can be extended in either direction, and checking backwards to the first term is a quick way to confirm it.

Correct Answer : D

The coaches are considerate and pampering. This implies that the coaches are soft-hearted and listen to the player's problems and view-points. But they can also cane. This implies that they can also punish sometimes. From the above analysis, we can infer that considerate people may not generally punish others. This inference is made because the author has used the word "only". Therefore neither (I) nor (II) is an assumption.

It should read had the room been brighter.

Inverting had is the way to form a third conditional without if, and the sentence's main clause - would have been able - requires that conditional. The alternatives put a present or a simple past into the if-clause, neither of which matches.

It is paucity.

A shortage is a lack of something, and paucity means smallness of number or quantity. Abundance and sufficiency are its opposites; niggardly describes a person's giving, and hostage merely rhymes.

Pudhumai Penn Scheme gives monthly support to girls who studied in government schools to pursue higher education, so it ensures higher education for women, option B.

It is not for political participation, employment generation or marriage assistance, which are covered by other schemes.

The scheme, started in 2022, pays Rs 1,000 a month to girl students who studied in government schools from class 6 to 12, for the duration of their degree or diploma. It was designed to keep girls in education, and has no link with marriage assistance, which is the aim of schemes such as the Moovalur Ramamirtham Ammaiyar one.

The Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award for 2022 went to Sharath Kamal.

Achanta Sharath Kamal, India's veteran table tennis player, was the sole recipient of the country's highest sporting honour for 2022, after winning four medals, including three golds, at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

Virat Kohli received the award (then the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna) in 2018, and Neeraj Chopra and Sunil Chhetri in 2021, so none of them was the 2022 recipient.

The Mid-day Meal Scheme was launched in 1995.

It was launched on 15 August 1995 as the National Programme of Nutritional Support to Primary Education, to provide cooked meals to children in government schools, improving enrolment, attendance and nutrition. In 2021 it was renamed PM POSHAN.

Some states such as Tamil Nadu ran school meal programmes earlier, but the national scheme dates from 1995, so 1991, 1993 and 2000 are wrong.
