Question : Directions: Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship in the set as that shared by the numbers in the given set. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g.13 –operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) (7, 21, 343) (8, 24, 512)
Option 1: (8, 50, 512)
Option 2: (5, 10, 225)
Option 3: (11, 66, 1331)
Option 4: (9, 27, 729)
Correct Answer: (9, 27, 729)
Solution : Given: (7, 21, 343); (8, 24, 512)
Multiply the first number by 3, to obtain the second number and find the cube of the first number, to obtain the third number in the given set of numbers – ⇒ (7, 21, 343)→7 × 3 = 21 and 73 = 343 ⇒ (8, 24, 512)→8 × 3 = 24 and 83 = 512
Let's check the options – First option: (8, 50, 512)→8 × 3 = 24 ≠ 50 and 83 = 512 Second option: (5, 10, 225)→5 × 3 = 15 ≠ 10 and 53 = 125 ≠ 225 Third option: (11, 66, 1331)→11 × 3 = 33 ≠ 66 and 113 = 1331 Fourth option: (9, 27, 729)→9 × 3 = 27 and 93 = 729
So, only the fourth option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
Question : Comprehension: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. India's favourable demographic trends, which have increased the workforce's percentage of the overall population, have paved the way for a significant middle-class expansion. A big population bulge emerging from absolute poverty and set to reach the middle class would generate new dynamics. In India, over 55 percent of the population is predicted to reach the middle class. In reality, because India's demographics are significantly younger than China and the United States, the country's middle class might be the world's largest (in terms of population) by 2025. It is no exaggeration to argue that future growth will be reliant on the increasing middle class and that the middle class's development will be reliant on growth. Growth has been fuelled by both private consumption and saving, both of which are fuelled by the middle class. India's private consumption accounts for over 60% of the country's GDP, while private consumption growth has contributed to 70% of the country's growth since 2000. Even though China's middle class is now greater than India's, private spending in the former accounts for a lesser share of growth. In contrast to the United States, where domestic savings are dropping and the country borrows excess funds from outside to invest and expand, India's domestic savings and investments are increasing and funding investments. The emergence of the middle class is anticipated to coincide with a transition away from large-scale informality, which now characterises much of the services and industrial sectors, and toward more formal, wage-earning, and medium-scale firms. Technological advancements will spread at a faster rate. Cities will expand as job possibilities concentrate on them. If there is enough movement across states and from rural to urban regions, the population increase will be more evenly distributed.
Question: What is the tone of the passage?
Option 1: Critical
Option 2: Objective
Option 3: Subjective
Option 4: Didactic
Correct Answer: Objective
Solution : The correct option will be the second option.
The tone of the passage is predominantly objective.
The author presents information and analyses about India's demographic trends, the growth of the middle class, and its impact on the country's economy factually and neutrally. The passage does not exhibit strong emotional language or personal opinions, and it focuses on providing information and making observations based on the presented data.

Option 3: 1972
Option 4: 1962
Correct Answer: 1972
Solution : The correct answer is 1972.
The Indian government's Ministry of Education oversees the independent ICHR. It was created by an administrative order in 1972.

Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the given sets. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) (194, 14, 4); (527, 23, 5)
Option 1: (63, 8, 3)
Option 2: (2, 2, 2)
Option 3: (8, 3, 2)
Option 4: (10, 6, 5)
Correct Answer: (2, 2, 2)
Solution : Given: (194, 14, 4); (527, 23, 5)
Here, (194, 14, 4)→(4)2 – 2 = 16 – 2 = 14; (14)2 – 2 = 196 – 2 = 194 (527, 23, 5)→(5)2 – 2 = 25 – 2 = 23; (23)2 – 2 = 529 – 2 = 527
Let's check the options – First option: (63, 8, 3)→(3)2 – 2 = 9 – 2 = 7 ≠ 8; (8)2 – 2 = 64 – 2 = 62 ≠ 63 Second option: (2, 2, 2)→(2)2 – 2 = 4 – 2 = 2; (2)2 – 2 = 4 – 2 = 2 Third option: (8, 3, 2)→(2)2 – 2 = 4 – 2 = 2 ≠ 3; (3)2 – 2 = 9 – 2 = 7 ≠ 8 Fourth option: (10, 6, 5)→(5)2 – 2 = 25 – 2 = 23 ≠ 6; (6)2 – 2 = 36 – 2 = 34 ≠ 10
So, only the second option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the second option is correct.

(14, 20, 26) (22, 28, 34)
Option 1: (32, 38, 44)
Option 2: (4, 6, 11)
Option 3: (25, 30, 44)
Option 4: (10, 20, 24)
Correct Answer: (32, 38, 44)
Solution : Given: (14, 20, 26); (22, 28, 34)
Add 6 to the first number to get the second number, and to the second number to get the third number respectively. ⇒ (14, 20, 26)→14 + 6 = 20; 20 + 6 = 26 ⇒ (22, 28, 34)→22 + 6 = 28; 28 + 6 = 34
Let's check each option – First option: (32, 38, 44)→32 + 6 = 38; 38 + 6 = 44 Second option: (4, 6,11)→4 + 6 = 10 ≠ 6; 6 + 6 = 12 ≠ 11 Third option: (25, 30, 44)→25 + 6 = 31 ≠ 30; 30 + 6 = 36 ≠ 44 Fourth option: (10, 20, 24)→10 + 6 = 16 ≠ 20; 20 + 6 = 26 ≠ 24
So, only the first option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the first option is correct.
Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – operations on 13 such as adding /subtracting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed.) (18, 39, 60) (27, 48, 69)
Option 1: (24, 64, 96)
Option 2: (35, 56, 77)
Option 3: (31, 52, 84)
Option 4: (17, 28, 49)
Correct Answer: (35, 56, 77)
Solution : Given: (18, 39, 60); (27, 48, 69)
The pattern here is that the difference between the numbers is 21. (18, 39, 60)→39 – 18 = 21; 60 – 39 = 21 (27, 48, 69)→48 – 27 = 21; 69 – 48 = 21 Let's check the options – First option: (24, 64, 96)→64 – 24 = 40 ≠ 21; 96 – 64 = 32 ≠ 21 Second option: (35, 56, 77)→56 – 35 = 21; 77 – 56 = 21 Third option: (31, 52, 84)→52 – 31 = 21; 84 – 52 = 32 ≠ 21 Fourth option: (17, 28, 49)→28 – 17 = 11 ≠ 21; 49 – 28 = 21
So, only the second option follows the same pattern. Hence, the second option is correct.

Hence, Option A is correct.
Question : Directions: Select the option in which the numbers share the same relationship in the set as that shared by the numbers in the given set. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g.13 - operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) (4, 12, 2) (7, 42, 14)
Option 1: (19, 62, 11)
Option 2: (25, 29, 5)
Option 3: (9, 26, 4)
Option 4: (15, 44, 9)
Correct Answer: (9, 26, 4)
Solution : Given: (4, 12, 2); (7, 42, 14)
The pattern is as follows – (4, 12, 2)→(4 + 2) × 2 = 6 × 2 = 12 (7, 42, 14)→(7 + 14) × 2 = 21 × 2 = 42
Let's check the options – First option: (19, 62, 11)→(19 + 11) × 2 = 30 × 2 = 60 ≠ 62 Second option: (25, 29, 5)→(25 + 5) × 2 = 30 × 2 = 60 ≠ 29 Third option: (9, 26, 4)→(9 + 4) × 2 = 13 × 2 = 26 Fourth option: (15, 44, 9)→(15 + 9) × 2 = 24 × 2 = 48 ≠ 44
So, only the third option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the third option is correct.
