- A. QBHF
- B. QBGF
- C. PAHF

- A. Oxygen
- B. Breathing

Q3 · Spatial Visualization and Orientation
A man walks 8 m towards the East, then turns left and walks 6 m, then turns left again and walks 4 m. How far is he from the starting point?
- A. 2 m
- B. 6 m
- C. 2√13 m
- D. 10 m
Answer and solution
Answer: C
Starting at origin, he moves 8 m East, then 6 m North, then 4 m West. Net displacement: East-West = 8 - 4 = 4 m; North-South = 6 m. Distance = √(4² + 6²) = √(16 + 36) = √52 = 2√13 m.
Q4 · Number System
The HCF of two numbers is 18 and their LCM is 1080. If one number is 108, what is the other number?
- A. 180
- B. 162
- C. 144
- D. 216
Answer and solution
Answer: A
Using the formula: Product of two numbers = HCF × LCM. Let the other number be x. Then 108 × x = 18 × 1080 = 19440. So x = 19440 ÷ 108 = 180. Hence the other number is 180.
Q5 · Profit and Loss
A shopkeeper sells an article at a profit of 20%. If the cost price is ₹250, what is the selling price?
- A. ₹280
- B. ₹290
- C. ₹300
- D. ₹310
Answer and solution
Answer: C
Profit = 20% of 250 = 50. Selling price = 250 + 50 = ₹300.
Q6 · Percentage
If the price of sugar increases by 25%, by what percentage should a housewife reduce her consumption so that the expenditure remains the same?
- A. 18%
- B. 20%
- C. 22%
- D. 25%
Answer and solution
Answer: B
Reduction % = [R/(100 + R)] × 100 = [25/125] × 100 = 20%.
Q7 · Geometry
In a right-angled triangle, one of the acute angles is 35°. What is the measure of the other acute angle?
- A. 55°
- B. 65°
- C. 45°
- D. 75°
Answer and solution
Answer: A
In a right-angled triangle, the sum of the two acute angles is 90°. Therefore, the other angle = 90° - 35° = 55°.
Q8 · Sentence Rearrangement
Arrange the following sentences in the correct order to form a coherent paragraph: P: The tree was planted by my grandfather fifty years ago. Q: It now provides shade to the entire courtyard. R: Every summer, it bears sweet mangoes. S: My family gathers under it during festivals.
- A. P-Q-R-S
- B. P-R-Q-S
- C. Q-P-R-S
- D. R-P-Q-S
Answer and solution
Answer: A
The logical flow starts with the tree's origin (P), then its current state providing shade (Q), its seasonal fruit (R), and family use (S).
Q9 · Physics
A wire of resistance 8 Ω is bent to form a circular loop. If two points on the loop are connected to a battery such that the loop is divided into arcs with lengths in the ratio 1:3, what is the effective resistance between these two points?
- A. 2 Ω
- B. 1.5 Ω
- C. 3 Ω
- D. 4 Ω
Answer and solution
Answer: B
The two arcs are in parallel with resistances 2 Ω (1/4 of 8 Ω) and 6 Ω (3/4 of 8 Ω). Effective resistance = (2×6)/(2+6) = 12/8 = 1.5 Ω.
