Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
We sallied out at three o'clock in the afternoon, having finished our tiffin and coffee. The main job for the day was to mount and frame the photograph. Uncle carried it in his hand delicately, enclosed in an old envelope, as if it were fragile and likely to perish at a finger's pressure. As we went down the street, a neighbour standing at his door hailed us and demanded, "Where are you taking the young fellow?" He was an engineer who worked in some distant projects on the hills, coming home once in a while and then again disappearing from our society. He was a particular friend of my uncle as they occasionally gathered for a game of cards in my house. He asked, "I am here for a few days. Can't we have a session some time?"
"Of course, of course," said my uncle without much fervour, "I will let you know", and moved on.
"Won't aunt get angry?" I asked, remembering the arguments they had had after every card session. The card players would have been sitting around in the middle of the hall, demanding coffee and edibles, and playing far into the night. My aunt would complain after the company had dispersed, "Sitting there with your friends, you lock me up in the kitchen all day! What madness seizes you people when you touch a pack of cards, I wonder!" Worn out by her attacks, my uncle began to avoid his friends, the company gradually dwindled and disappeared. But it did not prevent them from dreaming about cards or luxuriating in visions of a grand session. Somewhere my uncle was supposed to have lost a lot of money through the card games, and my aunt was very definite that he should never go near cards again, although he kept saying, "We play only Twenty-eight, and not Rummy, after all, Twenty-eight...".

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Only I follows
Some rivers are shirts and all shirts are people, so some rivers are people - that is, some people are rivers, conclusion I. Conclusions II and III both need to reach buttons, and the only statement about buttons is particular, so nothing follows. Only I follows.
A wheel always has
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: A circular shape
The question asks what is always present, not what usually is. A wheel is by definition a circular object that turns about its centre, so its shape is what makes it one. Spokes are a refinement: the earliest wheels were solid discs, and many still are - a potter’s wheel, a grindstone. Rubber is a tyre material of the last century and a half; wheels were wood and iron for millennia. An axle is the shaft a wheel turns on, so it is a separate part rather than a component of the wheel - and a wheel lying detached is still a wheel.

What does the expression, 'We sallied out ...' mean in the context?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
'We sallied out' means to leave in a determined manner.
To sally out is to set out briskly and with purpose, from the old sense of a sudden rush out of a fortress. Here the narrator and his uncle leave at three o'clock with a clear job, framing the photograph, and the word suggests purposeful starting.
It does not mean a casual outing, as 'jaunt' would, nor a lethargic walk, which is the opposite. 'To rush out in a hurry' overstates the idea, since nothing in the passage shows any hurry.

General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 10 To 19 ] :
Panini was......
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Panini was a Sanskrit grammarian of Vedic times.
Panini composed the Ashtadhyayi, a grammar of Sanskrit in about 4,000 concise rules that remains the foundation of Sanskrit grammar. He is usually dated to about the fifth or fourth century BCE, at the close of the Vedic age, and his grammar also describes the Vedic language, which is the sense of the paper's 'of Vedic times'.
He was not a Greek philosopher. The astronomer-mathematician of the options describes Aryabhata, and the great poet of ancient times describes someone like Kalidasa.
Which among the following is one of the three top states with highest coal reservers in India, according to the Energy Statistics India, 2024 ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The state is Odisha.
According to Energy Statistics India 2024, the states with the largest coal resources are Jharkhand, Odisha and Chhattisgarh, which together hold most of India's coal.
Madhya Pradesh has substantial reserves but ranks below these three, and Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu (whose main deposit is lignite) are far behind.
Coal is concentrated in the Gondwana basins of the Damodar, Mahanadi, Son and Godavari valleys, which explains why eastern and central states hold most of it.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Atmospheric nitrogen stays constant because of the nitrogen cycle.
Fixation by bacteria and lightning removes N2 from the air into compounds; denitrifying bacteria return it. The two run at about the same rate, so the atmosphere holds steady at 78 per cent nitrogen.

Who invented the first successful gramophone, using a flat disc rather than a cylinder ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Emile Berliner
