Option 2: 1982
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. As a literary and charitable society, ICHR was registered under the Societies Registration Act (Act XXI of 1860). With regional offices in Guwahati (Assam), Bengaluru (Karnataka), and Pune (Maharashtra), the ICHR is headquartered in Delhi.
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.
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.)
(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.

(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.
Question : An organisation has a set of basic goals what is the basic reason for its existence. It implies which characteristics of Management?
Option 1: Goal oriented
Option 2: Pervasive
Option 3: Dynamic function
Option 4: Group activity
Correct Answer: Goal oriented
Solution : Management is a goal oriented process.
Any management activity's effectiveness is judged by how well it accomplishes the set goals or objectives. It serves a purpose to manage. It is a tool that facilitates the utilisation of material and human resources in order to achieve predetermined objectives.
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.

Question : Comprehension:
Read the following passage and answer the questions given after it.
New Delhi: India is set to surpass China as the world's most populous country in 2023, with each counting more than 1.4 billion residents this year, a United Nations report said on Monday, warning that high fertility would challenge economic growth.
The world's population, estimated to reach 8 billion by November 15 this year, could grow to 8.5 billion in 2030 and 10.4 billion in 2100 as the pace of mortality slows, said the report released on World Population Day.
India's population was 1.21 billion in 2011, according to the domestic census, which is conducted once a decade. The government had deferred the 2021 census due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The world's population was growing at its slowest pace since 1950, having fallen below 1 per cent in 2020, UN estimates showed.
In 2021, the average fertility of the world's population stood at 2.3 births per woman over a lifetime, having fallen from about 5 births in 1950. Global fertility is projected to decline further to 2.1 births per woman by 2050.
Referring to an earlier World Health Organisation report estimating about 14.9 million deaths relating to the COVID-19 pandemic between January 2020 and December 2021, the UN report said global life expectancy at birth fell to 71 years in 2021 from 72.8 years in 2019, mostly due to the pandemic.
The United Nations said more than half of the projected increase in the global population up to 2050 will be concentrated in eight countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Tanzania. Countries in sub-Saharan Africa are expected to contribute more than half of the increase anticipated through 2050.
However, the population of 61 countries is projected to decrease by 1% or more between 2022 and 2050, driven by a fall in fertility.
Question:
After reading the above passage, it can be inferred that it is
Option 1: a news item
Option 2: a research report
Option 3: a magazine article
Option 4: a survey report
Correct Answer: a news item
Solution : The first option is the correct answer.
The passage analyses and criticises the findings of a report by the United Nations on the world population. The passage is based on secondary data, and its purpose is to create awareness among the general public about population control.
Therefore, the correct answer is a news item.
Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following set.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits.)
(2, 125, 3)
(1, 64, 3)
Option 1: (2, 100, 8)
Option 2: (5, 512, 3)
Option 3: (12, 50, 13)
Option 4: (4, 341, 3)
Correct Answer: (5, 512, 3)
Solution : Given:
(2, 125, 3); (1, 64, 3)
Here, (2, 125, 3); (2 + 3)3 = (5)3 = 125
(1, 64, 3); (1 + 3)3 = (4)3 = 64
Let's check the options –
First option: (2, 100, 8); (2 + 3)3 = (5)3 = 125 ≠ 100
Second option: (5, 512, 3); (5 + 3)3 = (8)3 = 512
Third option: (12, 50, 13); (12 + 13)3 = (25)3 = 15625 ≠ 50
Fourth option: (4, 341, 3); (4 + 3)3 = (7)3 = 343 ≠ 341
So, only the second option follows the same pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the second option is correct.
