Question : Which among the following was set up in 1956 by the Indian Government by nationalising all the existing private sector life insurance companies?
Option 1: United India Insurance Company Limited
Option 2: General Insurance Corporation of India
Option 3: New India Assurance Company Limited
Option 4: Life Insurance Corporation of India
Correct Answer: Life Insurance Corporation of India
Solution : The correct option is Life Insurance Corporation of India.
The Government of India nationalised the private life insurance companies already in operation, creating the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) in 1956. The action, which was a component of the banking sector's nationalisation agenda, resulted in the establishment of a state-owned monopoly in India's life insurance market.
Question : Directions: Which one set of letters when sequentially placed at the gaps in the given letter series shall complete it?
c_bba_cab_ac_ab_ac
Option 1: babcc
Option 2: bcacb
Option 3: acbcb
Option 4: abcbc
Correct Answer: acbcb
Solution : Given:
c_bba_cab_ac_ab_ac
To fill the series we have to divide the series – c_b/ba_/cab/_ac/_ab/_ac
Let's check each option:
First option: babcc; cbb/baa/cab/bac/cab/cac; (No pattern has been found.)
Second option: bcacb; cbb/bac/cab/aac/cab/bac; (No pattern has been found.)
Third option: acbcb; cab/bac/cab/bac/cab/bac; (cab, bac has been repeated.)
Fourth option: abcbc; cab/bab/cab/cac/bab/cac; (No pattern has been found.)
So, the series becomes→cabbaccabbaccabbac. Hence, the third option is correct.
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. 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)

Correct Answer: (15, 26, 31)
Solution : Given:
(16, 22, 28); (14, 19, 23)
The pattern here is – (The third number – The first number) + 10 = The second number
(16, 22, 28)→(28 – 16) + 10 = 12 + 10 = 22
(14, 19, 23)→(23 – 14) + 10 = 9 + 10 = 19
Let's check the options –
First option: (12, 18, 25)→(25 – 12) + 10 = 13 + 10 = 23 ≠ 18
Second option: (13, 21, 27)→(27 – 13) + 10 = 14 + 10 = 24 ≠ 21
Third option: (15, 26, 31)→(31 – 15) + 10 = 16 + 10 = 26
Fourth option: (17, 24, 41)→(41 – 17) + 10 = 24 + 10 = 34 ≠ 24
So, only the third option follows the pattern as followed by the given set of numbers. Hence, the third option is correct.

Solution : Given:
(125, 2, 3); (512, 5, 3)
Determine the cube of the sum of the second and third numbers, to obtain the first number –
(125, 2, 3)→(2 + 3)3 = 125
(512, 5, 3)→(5 + 3)3 = 512
Let's check each option –
First option: (1782, 8, 6)→(8 + 6)3 = 2744 ≠ 1782
Second option: (1000, 7, 3)→(7 + 3)3 = 1000
Third option: (343, 5, 3)→(5 + 3)3 = 512 ≠ 343

Question : Read the passage given below and answer the questions/complete the statements that follow by choosing the correct options out of the given ones.
The old man was overjoyed when he heard of the invitation. He became nearly incoherent with joy. He was torn between the attraction of the offer and shyness. For the first time, Srinivas observed that the man could be moved by shyness. "No, no, I never eat anywhere. Oh, don't trouble yourself about it... No, no ..." he said but all the same, got up and followed Srinivas into the kitchen. He grinned affably at Srinivas's wife and commented flatteringly: "I have always told a lot of people to come and observe this lady for a model. How well she looks after the house. I wish modern girls were all like her." Srinivas gently propelled him to a plank, on which he sat down. He observed from his wife's face that she was pleased with the compliment, and Srinivas felt that old man's coffee was now assured. His wife came out with a tumbler of water and two leaves and set them in front of them. She then served a couple of cakes on each leaf, and the old man rubbed his hands with the joy of anticipation.
At a signal from Srinivas, he fell to; and Srinivas wondered how long it was since the other had had any. "What do you eat at night?" he asked testingly. The old man tore off a piece of cake and stuffed it in his mouth and swallowed it before he answered, shaking his head: 'I'm not a youth. Time was when I used to take three meals a day - three full meals a day in addition to tiffin twice a day. Do you know
"That's remarkable." Agreed Srinivas admiringly. "But now what do you do?"
"I'm a sanyasi, my dear young man."
Question:
What was the reason the old man flattered Srinivas's wife?
Option 1: Because it is an example of good manners.
Option 2: Because he wanted to be welcomed.
Option 3: Because he had met her for the first time.
Option 4: both 1 and 2 .
Correct Answer: both 1 and 2 .
Solution : The correct answer is option 4.
Explanation:
Both 1 and 2 Key Points are correct answers.
- Consider the following passage lines-
"He grinned affably at Srinivas's wife and commented flatteringly: "I have always told a lot of people to come and observe this lady for a model. How well she looks after the house. I wish modern girls were all like her."
- "He observed from his wife's face that she was pleased with the compliment,
From the above mentioned sentences it can be inferred that appreciating someone is a sign of good manners and also the old man was treated more warmly after he complimented the lady.
