Question 1 of 5
1. Question
We know remarkably little about the oceans that cover most of the Earth, provide half of our oxygen and help to regulate the climate. Maps of the ocean floor are less detailed than those of Mars or the moon. Marine biologists have discovered deeply weird and genuinely wonderful species: boxer crabs wielding anemones like weapons; the rope-like Praya dubia, up to 50 metres long; immortal jellyfish, which unlike any other known creature can revert from maturity to an earlier stage of development, akin to a butterfly becoming a caterpillar. But on one estimate we have identified less than a tenth of ocean-dwelling creatures. What we can be certain about is that the extraordinary diversity of life in the oceans is under immense and growing threat.
Which of the following is the most logical and accurate inference that can be drawn from the above passage?
Correct
Ans. C. The passage talks about the fact that we still have not explored much of the life that live in the depth of the ocean and the ocean ecosystem is under huge threat due to climate change. This means that option C is correct because since oceans are getting destroyed, we might not come to know about the life forms we have ended up destroying since we know so little about them.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
If every 2 out of 3 readymade shirts need alterations in the collar, every 3 out or 4 need alterations in the sleeves, and every 4 out of 5 need it in the body, how many alterations will be required for 60 shirts?
Correct
Solution: C
Number of alterations required in 1 shirt =(2/3 + ¾ + 4/5) =133/60.
Therefore, number of alteration required in 60 shirts =(133/60 x 60)= 133.
Hence, option (c) is correct.
Incorrect
Solution: C
Number of alterations required in 1 shirt =(2/3 + ¾ + 4/5) =133/60.
Therefore, number of alteration required in 60 shirts =(133/60 x 60)= 133.
Hence, option (c) is correct.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
There are 30 different routes connecting two cities Delhi and Meerut. In how many ways can a person go from Delhi to Meerut and return by
a different route?Correct
Solution: D
A person can go from Delhi to Meerut through any of the 30 routes connecting the two cities. Hence, there are 30 ways to go from Delhi to Meerut.
Since he cannot come back through the same route as travelled by him earlier, he has to opt for one of the remaining 29 routes. Therefore he can return to Delhi in 29 ways. Thus, the total number of ways possible = 30 x 29 = 870 ways.
Hence, option (d) is correct.
