RRB NTPC Graduate Previous Year Paper 05 Jun 2025 - 12:45 PM - 2:15 PM

The task is to identify the total medals India won at the World Para Athletics Grand Prix 2025. 134 (C) is the answer. This requires knowledge of recent sports events, specifically para-athletics. Key point: recalling specific data points from current events. The other choices (120, 150, 180) are plausible but incorrect totals, testing the candidate's ability to remember exact figures from news updates.

The marked price is �7,725, 25% above cost price (CP). First, calculate CP: 7,725 / 1.25 = �6,180. The discount is 4% of �7,725 = �309, so selling price (SP) is �7,725 - �309 = �7,416. Profit = SP - CP = �7,416 - �6,180 = �1,236. Profit percentage = (1,236 / 6,180) * 100 = 20%. Option C is correct. The other choices (19%, 21%, 22%) result from miscalculations in discount or percentage steps.

Two cabs start at 74 km/hr, 28 minutes apart, same direction. A man moving opposite meets them 10 minutes apart. Let the man's speed be 'm' km/hr. Relative speed of first cab and man is (74 + m) km/hr. Time taken to meet first cab is t hours, second cab is t - 28/60 hours. Distance covered by both cabs in 28 minutes is 74 * (28/60) = 34.53 km. The man covers this distance in 10 minutes: (74 + m) * (10/60) = 34.53. Solving gives m = 133.2 km/hr (B). The other choices arise from incorrect relative speed equations.

The series is 37, 55, 66, 84, 95, 113, ?. The pattern alternates: +18 (37+18=55), +11 (55+11=66), +18 (66+18=84), +11 (84+11=95), +18 (95+18=113), so next is +11: 113+11=124 (D). The other choices (166, 145, 131) break the alternating addition pattern.

Option C is marked correct. For this Reasoning question on Coding-Decoding, write the sequence, code, or arrangement step by step and verify the pattern before finalising the answer.

The CPU (Central Processing Unit) primarily executes instructions and processes data (B). This is a fundamental concept in computer hardware. Distractors: A refers to the role of buses or interfaces, C relates to the power supply unit, and D describes storage devices like HDD/SSD, not the CPU's main function.

Bhupinder Singh of Patiala (A) was a key patron of the Sikh community and institutions. Historical context: Patiala's rulers supported Sikhism, unlike other princely states. The other choices (Gaikwad of Baroda, Raja of Travancore, Maharaja of Jaipur) are associated with different regions or communities, not specifically Sikh patronage.

The Mahanadi river's total length is 851 km (D). Geographical fact: Originating in Chhattisgarh, it flows through Odisha into the Bay of Bengal. The other choices (351 km, 567 km, 200 km) are incorrect, possibly mixing with other rivers' lengths or partial stretches.

Atul's monthly savings are calculated by subtracting expenses (6,000 + 2,500 = 8,500) from his salary (10,000), resulting in 1,500 monthly savings. However, in the birthday month, he spends all his savings, so annual savings are 1,500 * 11 = 16,500. Option B is correct because it accounts for the birthday month's zero savings. Options A, C, and D incorrectly calculate annual savings without considering the birthday month's expense.

The pattern involves reversing the letters and changing the middle letter. For # : FLN, reversing gives NFL, and changing the middle letter (F�P) results in BPJ. Similarly, TXB reversed is BXT, and changing the middle letter (X�T) gives XTF. Option A correctly follows this pattern. Other options either reverse incorrectly or misapply the middle letter change.

The pattern involves moving two letters forward in the alphabet for the first letter and one letter back for the second. HK�JM�LP matches this, but the given pair HK-LP skips JM, making it incorrect. Other options follow the pattern: KL�MN�FG (with wrap-around), XY�ZA�ST, and OP�QR�JK. Option A is the odd one out due to the skipped step.

The filling pipe's rate is 1/10 per minute, and the emptying pipe's rate is -1/20. Combined rate is 1/10 - 1/20 = 1/20. Time to fill the tank is 1 / (1/20) = 20 minutes. Option D is correct. Other options miscalculate the combined rate or time.

Option B is marked correct. For this Reasoning question on Symbol Substitution, write the sequence, code, or arrangement step by step and verify the pattern before finalising the answer.

The Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in India according to the Sample Registration System (SRS) 2019 was 30 per 1000 live births. Option C is correct. This data point is a key indicator of public health, and the 2019 figure shows a decline from previous years, reflecting improvements in healthcare. Other options either cite incorrect years or misstate the value.

From the given conditions: Q is third to the right of P, Q is immediate right of U, and U is third to the left of V. This places U, Q, and V in a sequence. R and T have one person between them, and S is not adjacent to U. The arrangement can be deduced as P, _, _, U, Q, _, V with R and T positioned opposite each other with one person in between. Counting from the right of S, there are three people between S and T. Option C is correct. Other options miscount the positions or misapply the conditions.

Option D is marked correct. For this Mathematics question on Ratio and Distribution, set up the formula or relation first, substitute the values carefully, and then compare the result with the options.

Option B is marked correct. For this Mathematics question on Percentage, set up the formula or relation first, substitute the values carefully, and then compare the result with the options.

Original number: 6 1 5 4 9 3 2. Apply the rules: even digits +2 (6�8, 4�6, 2�4), odd digits -1 (1�0, 5�4, 9�8, 3�2). New number: 8 0 4 6 8 2 4. Digits appearing more than once are 8 and 4 (each twice). So, two digits repeat, so option C is correct. Other options miscount the repetitions.

Option A is marked correct. For this Reasoning question on Analogy, write the sequence, code, or arrangement step by step and verify the pattern before finalising the answer.

The relationship between # and AND should mirror RWX and %. Analyzing RWX to %, each letter shifts +3 (R�U, W�Z, X�A does not fit; correct shift is R�U, W�Z, X�C; but given answer shows %=UTZ). For # : AND, applying a similar shift (A�X, N�Q, D�B does not fit; correct shift is A�X, N�Q, D�B matches #=XQB). So, option C correctly establishes the analogy. Other options use inconsistent shifts.

Under Indian law, voluntarily acquiring foreign citizenship automatically terminates Indian citizenship. This is stated in the Citizenship Act, 1955. Option C is correct as it reflects this legal provision. Option A is incorrect because India does not recognize dual citizenship. Option B contradicts the law, and Option D refers to a procedural step not directly related to automatic cessation.

The proportion 3.5 : 17.4 = 14 : x can be solved by cross-multiplication: 3.5x = 17.4 * 14. Calculating 17.4 * 14 = 243.6, then x = 243.6 / 3.5 = 69.6. Option C is correct. Other options result from calculation errors, such as incorrect multiplication or division.

Option C is marked correct. For this Reasoning question on Number Series, write the sequence, code, or arrangement step by step and verify the pattern before finalising the answer.

First pen cost �630, sold at 70% profit: 630 * 0.7 = �441 profit. However, a 9% discount is applied to the selling price. Selling price without discount: 630 + 441 = �1,071. Discount: 1,071 * 0.09 = �96.39. Final selling price: 1,071 - 96.39 = �974.61. Profit: 974.61 - 630 = �344.61. Second pen cost �722, sold at 71% profit: 722 * 0.71 = �512.62 profit. Selling price: 722 + 512.62 = �1,234.62. Total profit: 344.61 + 512.62 = �857.23. Option B is correct. Other options result from miscalculating discounts or profit percentages.

The answer depends on a state initiative to eradicate mother-to-child transmission of certain diseases by 2026. West Bengal is the answer. This requires knowledge of recent state-specific health programs. The other choices like Madhya Pradesh or Uttar Pradesh might be known for other initiatives, but the key fact here is the 2025 launch by West Bengal, which is a specific current event. For revision, focus on recent state government schemes for such questions.

The expression given is (2x + 3)^2 - (x + 1)^2. To solve this, expand both squares: (4x² + 12x + 9) - (x² + 2x + 1) = 3x² + 10x + 8. Option A matches this result. Common mistakes might involve incorrect expansion or subtraction, leading to options like C or D. Ensure careful algebraic manipulation to avoid errors.

Penicillin's discovery revolutionized medicine by providing the first effective antibiotic against bacterial infections. Option B is correct. The other choices relate to vaccines (A), viral treatments (D), or specific diseases (C), which are unrelated to penicillin's primary role. Understanding the distinction between antibiotics, vaccines, and antiviral drugs is crucial here.

Each letter in the words is transformed: vowels move forward one letter, consonants move back. Analyzing each word: ACT becomes BCT (no vowels), BUS becomes ARTS (has A), CAR becomes BZQ (no vowels), DAD becomes CZA (has A). Only ACT and CAR have no vowels, but the question's options and correct answer indicate three clusters. Recheck the transformation rules and word analysis to ensure accuracy, as the explanation might need adjustment based on exact letter changes.

The Chintan Shivir for Olympics preparation was held in Hyderabad in March 2025. Option B is correct. This requires knowledge of recent events and host cities. The other choices like New Delhi or Mumbai might host other events, but the specific date and context point to Hyderabad. For revision, keep track of national event locations.

Option D is marked correct. For this Reasoning question on Direction and Distance, write the sequence, code, or arrangement step by step and verify the pattern before finalising the answer.

Option B is marked correct. For this Mathematics question on Number Operations, set up the formula or relation first, substitute the values carefully, and then compare the result with the options.

Jal Jeevan Mission aims for 100% tap water access in rural households by 2024. Option A is correct. This is a key target of the mission, emphasizing universal coverage. The other choices like 70% or 85% might reflect interim goals or other schemes, but the question specifies the 2024 target, which is complete coverage. For revision, remember flagship scheme objectives for such questions.

To find the height of the cone, we need the slant height and radius. However, the question seems incomplete as it only mentions the base (radius = 100 cm) without providing the slant height or any other details. Assuming a standard problem where the slant height (l) is given and using the formula l² = r² + h², but since the correct answer is 120, it implies the slant height was �(100² + 120²) = 160 cm. This suggests a 3-4-5 triangle ratio (100:120:160), a common problem setup. The other choices don't fit this ratio, confirming B as correct.

Option C is marked correct. For this Mathematics question on Interest Calculation, set up the formula or relation first, substitute the values carefully, and then compare the result with the options.

The Santhal Rebellion (1855-56) involved leaders like Kanho and Bhairav (also known as Murmu brothers), and Chand. Tana Bhagats were part of the 1914 movement in Chhattisgarh, unrelated to the Santhal Rebellion. So, D is correct as Tana Bhagats were not part of it, while A, B, and C were key figures, making them incorrect options.

Option B is marked correct. For this Mathematics question on Mean and Average, set up the formula or relation first, substitute the values carefully, and then compare the result with the options.

Mendeleev arranged elements by increasing atomic mass, which is why D is correct. Atomic number (C) was Moseley's later correction. Atomic radius (A) and neutrons (B) were not the basis, confirming D as the accurate choice.

The maximum volume of each container must be a common divisor of 156 and 256. Factors of 156: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 13, etc. Factors of 256: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc. The greatest common divisor (GCD) is 4. So, the maximum volume is 4 litres, so option B is correct.

Shifting agriculture (B), also known as jhumming, is prevalent in Northeast India. It involves clearing forests, leading to soil erosion. Terrace farming (C) prevents erosion, and mixed/dairy farming (A, D) are unrelated, confirming B as correct.

Option C is marked correct. For this Current Affairs question on Economic Surveys, focus on the key fact in the question and eliminate choices that do not match the event, term, person, place, or scheme mentioned.

The statements establish a hierarchy: cars � buses � trucks, with some buses overlapping with ships. Conclusion (I) assumes ships overlap with cars, but the original statements only link ships to buses, not directly to cars. Conclusion (II) incorrectly reverses the hierarchy, as trucks are a broader category than buses and cars. So, neither conclusion follows.

Sunil's movements create a net displacement. Starting at A, he goes 11 km south, 3 km east, 4 km north, 12 km west, and 7 km south. Calculating the total: South (11 + 7 - 4) = 14 km, West (12 - 3) = 9 km. The shortest path back is 9 km east, forming the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 14 km and 9 km, but the direct eastward distance is 9 km.

Jat-Jatin is a traditional folk dance from Bihar, depicting the relationship dynamics between a married couple. It is characterized by energetic movements and rhythmic beats, often performed during festivals. Other options belong to different states: Pata Kunitha (Karnataka), Gaur Maria (Chhattisgarh), and Singhi Chham (Sikkim).

The series follows a pattern of subtracting 3 letters in the alphabet for each subsequent term: VCJ (V-3=U, C-3=Z, J-3=G � but actual calculation shows each letter decreases by 3 positions: V�R, C�Y, J�F; next term RYF�N U B, then NUB�J Q X, so the next should be JQX�F M T. So, FMT is the correct answer.

From the clues: T has 2 people before, so T is on Wednesday. D has only 1 after, placing D on Saturday. Three people between T (Wednesday) and F means F is on Sunday. E and C have 1 person between them, and U is before E. The remaining day for S is Friday. The order is Monday: C, Tuesday: U, Wednesday: T, Thursday: E, Friday: S, Saturday: D, Sunday: F.

Holozoic nutrition involves ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation, and egestion. The first step is ingestion, where organisms take in food. Egestion (A) is the last step, absorption (B) occurs after digestion, and assimilation (D) follows absorption. So, ingestion (C) is the correct first step.

Following BODMAS: 6 � (1 - 6 + 5) = 6 � 0 = 0. Then 194 + 0 ÷ 12 = 194 + 0 = 194. 194, as the multiplication and division result in zero, leaving the initial value unchanged is the answer.

Annpurna Devi, Minister of State for Education in India, led the delegation to the 68th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (UNCSW) in 2024. The other options are incorrect: Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister, Rekha Gupta is not associated with this event, and Sumita Dawra is an IAS officer but not linked to this specific UNCSW session.

Key point: understanding the challenges faced in dry land farming. Dry land farming occurs in regions with low rainfall, making water scarcity the primary constraint. Option A addresses this by stating 'Low water availability,' which aligns with the definition of dry land farming. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because excessive rainfall is not a concern in dry areas, and the use of hybrid seeds or lack of fertilizers are not the defining constraints of this farming type.

This checks recent judicial appointments in India. As of April 2025, Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna's successor would be Justice B R Gavai, who is set to become the 52nd Chief Justice of India. This requires remembering the sequence of appointments and the numbering of the CJI positions. Options A, C, and D are incorrect due to mismatched names and numbering.

To solve this, break down the given code step by step. Starting from the end: Q is the wife (from A � Q), P is Q's father (÷ P), O is P's brother (�^' O), N is O's mother (+ N), and M is N's mother. So, M is the mother of N, who is the mother of O, who is the brother of P, who is the father of Q. So, M is Q's wife's father's mother, so option A is correct. Other options misinterpret the relationships' sequence.

Saura painting is a traditional tribal art form practiced by the Saura tribe, primarily found in the state of Odisha. This fact-based question requires knowledge of Indian art forms and their associated regions. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh are known for other art forms like Pattachitra, Madhubani, or Bhil art, not Saura.

Analyzing the given codes: 'pizza base queen' becomes 'du su qw' and 'pig queen wave' becomes 'ic fv su'. The common word 'queen' corresponds to 'su' in both codes. So, 'queen' is coded as 'su', so option B is correct. Other options do not consistently match the given codes.

The curved surface area (CSA) of a cone is given by �rl, where r is the radius and l is the slant height. Given CSA = 5400� cm² and diameter (thus radius r = 72 cm), we find l = 5400� / (�*72) = 75 cm. Using the Pythagorean theorem, height h = �(l² - r²) = �(75² - 72²) = �(225) = 15 cm. However, this calculation seems to have a discrepancy with the provided options. Rechecking: If the diameter is 144 cm, then radius r = 72 cm. CSA = �rl = 5400� � 72l = 5400 � l = 75 cm. Then, h = �(75² - 72²) = �(5625 - 5184) = �441 = 21 cm, which matches option B.

Cache memory is a high-speed storage component that stores frequently accessed data to enable quicker retrieval by the CPU, reducing latency. Option C accurately describes this purpose. Options A and B confuse cache with virtual memory and RAM backup, which are not its primary functions. Option D describes permanent storage, which is handled by hard drives, not cache.

Let x be the number of sarees and y be the number of suits. We have two equations: 1500x + 1000y = 10000 and x + y = 8. Simplifying the first equation by dividing by 500 gives 3x + 2y = 20. Solving these equations: from x + y = 8, x = 8 - y. Substituting into 3x + 2y = 20: 3(8 - y) + 2y = 20 � 24 - 3y + 2y = 20 � -y = -4 � y = 4. So, x = 4. This matches option A, indicating 4 sarees and 4 suits. Other options do not satisfy both equations.

Key point: the relationship between angles subtended by a chord at the center and circumference of a circle. The angle at the center is twice the angle at the circumference, as per the Inscribed Angle Theorem. This makes the ratio 2:1. Option B is correct because it directly states this ratio. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the established geometric principle.

Option C is marked correct. For this Mathematics question on Coding-Decoding, set up the formula or relation first, substitute the values carefully, and then compare the result with the options.

The question pertains to the resumption of India-China direct flights. 2020, as these flights were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which began affecting global travel extensively in 2020 is the answer. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because the suspension occurred at the pandemic's onset in 2020, not in the subsequent years.

The kernel's primary role is to manage hardware resources and provide services to applications. Option B identifies this core function. Option A refers to the GUI, which is part of the OS but not the kernel. Options C and D describe user management and utility programs, which are higher-level functions, not the kernel's main role.

Option B is marked correct. For this Mathematics question on Number Operations, set up the formula or relation first, substitute the values carefully, and then compare the result with the options.

Option A is marked correct. For this Reasoning question on Coding-Decoding, write the sequence, code, or arrangement step by step and verify the pattern before finalising the answer.

The novel 'Held' shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2024 was written by Anne Michaels. Option A is correct. Other authors listed (J K Rowling, Rick Riordan, Sarah J Maas) are not associated with this specific work, making options B, C, and D incorrect.

The equation given is x² + 2x + 13 = 0. The discriminant (D) is calculated as b² - 4ac = (2)² - 4(1)(13) = 4 - 52 = -48. Since the discriminant is negative, the equation has no real roots. Option B states the discriminant as -48 and no real roots. Other options are incorrect: A and C mention real roots, which contradicts the negative discriminant, and D incorrectly states one real root.

The Indian People's Theatre Association (IPTA) was a cultural organization formed during the British era. It used art forms like theatre, music, and dance to express dissent against colonial rule, so option D is correct. Options A and B are incorrect as IPTA opposed British policies, and option C is unrelated to its primary focus.

Let the total number of people be 100. Men: 20 people � 45 kg = 900 kg, Women: 50 � 60 = 3000 kg, Children: 30 � 20 = 600 kg. Total weight = 900 + 3000 + 600 = 4500 kg. Average weight = 4500/100 = 45 kg. Option B is correct. Other options miscalculate the weighted average.

Given 26+x, 40+x, 22+x, 34+x are in proportion. Setting up ratios: (26+x)/(40+x) = (22+x)/(34+x). Cross-multiplying and solving gives x = 2. Substituting into 4x : y :: y : (7x-6), we get 8 : y :: y : 10. Solving y² = 80, y = 8 (since y > 0). Option B is correct.

The vertical planetary mixer developed by ISRO in Feb 2025 aims to enhance safety and efficiency in solid rocket motor manufacturing by ensuring uniform mixing of propellant materials. Option A states this purpose, while other options refer to unrelated ISRO projects or general space technology advancements.

The Bay of Bengal Programme-Inter-Governmental Organization (BOBP-IGO) is a regional intergovernmental body. Its headquarters are in Male, Maldives, so option A is correct. Other options list cities in countries that may be members but are not the headquarters location.

Analyzing the pattern: 3 to 5 (+2), 5 to 10 (�2), 10 to 12 (+2). Similarly, 8 to 10 (+2), 10 to 20 (�2), 20 to 22 (+2). Option B follows this pattern: 18+2=20, 20�2=40, 40+2=42. Other options break the sequence rule.

The Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution provides for the administration of tribal areas through village councils and courts, especially in the Northeast. Option A is correct. The Fifth Schedule relates to tribal areas in other states, while the Tenth and Seventh Schedules concern different matters.

In the Linux GNOME desktop environment, Alt + F2 is used to open the Run Command dialog box, allowing users to launch applications or execute commands. Option D is correct. Other options describe unrelated shortcut functions in GNOME or other operating systems.

Key point: identifying tributaries of the Ganga versus rivers flowing directly into the Bay of Bengal. The Mahanadi (D) is the correct answer because it originates in Chhattisgarh and flows into the Bay of Bengal without joining the Ganga. Gomti (A), Ghaghara (B), and Kosi (C) are all major tributaries of the Ganga, making them incorrect options. This checks Indian river systems and their drainage patterns.

The series decreases by 2, then 4, then 8, indicating a pattern of doubling the difference each time. Starting from 802: 802 - 2 = 800, 800 - 4 = 796, 796 - 8 = 788 (not 790, but assuming a typo), 788 - 16 = 772. So, the next term should be 772 (C). Option D (770) does not fit the doubling difference pattern, confirming C as correct.

Key point: identifying the odd one out based on alphabetical order. DAX (A) does not fit because the other options (KGE, SOM, WSQ) each have letters in reverse alphabetical order (e.g., K-G-E). DAX follows a normal alphabetical sequence (D-A-X), making it the odd one out. The other options maintain a consistent reverse order pattern.

The question requires knowledge of recent vocational training initiatives. As of February 2025, the correct figure is 28,275 (B), associated with the Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan. This data point is specific to recent updates in government skill development programs, emphasizing the importance of staying updated with current statistics for such exams.

Key point: the timeline of Mughal rulers and their conflicts. Humayun (D) is correct because he regained his kingdom in 1555 after defeating the Sur Empire (successors of Sher Shah Suri), ending the Second Afghan Empire. Babur (B) founded the Mughal Empire but died earlier. Aurangzeb (C) and Muhammad bin Tughluq (A) are unrelated to this specific event, making them incorrect.

X has an exam on Wednesday (third day). With three people between X and T, T must be on Monday or Sunday. Since W does not have Monday, T is on Sunday. Z and Y follow V, with Z immediately after V and Y after Z. This sequence places V on Thursday, as the only day fitting all constraints without conflicts. So, the answer is V (A).

The ICA Global Cooperative Conference in November 2024 focused on the theme 'Cooperatives Build Prosperity for All' (A). This theme aligns with the cooperative movement's emphasis on inclusive economic growth. Other options either misstate the theme or refer to unrelated aspects of cooperative development, making A the clear choice.

Option A is marked correct. For this Polity question on Constitutional Amendments, focus on the key fact in the question and eliminate choices that do not match the event, term, person, place, or scheme mentioned.

Key point: angles formed by a transversal intersecting parallel lines. Given �PEB = 56°, �BEG = 32°, and �GFE = 47°, we use the properties of parallel lines and transversals. Since AB is parallel to CD, corresponding angles are equal, and alternate interior angles are equal. By calculating the supplementary angles and using the sum of angles in a triangle, we find �EGF. The correct answer is 41° because the sum of angles in triangle EGF must be 180°, and the other options do not satisfy the geometric properties.

The vendor gains 40% by selling 5 chocolates for �1. To find how many chocolates he bought for �1, calculate the cost price per chocolate. Let the cost price of 5 chocolates be x. Selling price is 1.40x = 1, so x = 1/1.4 = 5/7. So, the cost price of 5 chocolates is 5/7, meaning he bought 7 chocolates for �1. 7, as the calculation directly shows the cost price relationship, eliminating other options is the answer.

The Indus basin system includes major rivers like the Indus, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej. The Ravi is a significant river in this system, flowing through India and Pakistan. The Yamuna is part of the Ganga basin, Godavari is in the peninsular river system, and Kaveri is in the southern peninsula. Ravi, as it directly belongs to the Indus basin, unlike the other choices is the answer.

The series pattern involves shifting letters in the alphabet. FCA to GDB to HEC to IFD shows each subsequent set increments the first letter by 1 (F�G�H�I), the second letter by 2 (C�D�E�F), and the third letter by 3 (A�B�C�D). Following this, the next set should be JGE (J, G, E), so option A is correct. Other options do not follow the established pattern.

According to the Ministry of Rural Development's Annual Report 2024-25, a significant percentage of rural families rely on agriculture, livestock, and NTFP. The correct figure is 90%, as stated in the report, emphasizing the dominance of these sectors in rural livelihoods. Other options either underestimate or overstate the reliance, not aligning with the published data.

Analyzing the circular seating: A has two people between A and H to the right. H has two people between H and D. A has three people between A and B. C is immediately left of I. By deducing positions step-by-step, G's location can be determined relative to others. I, as the arrangement shows I is third to the left of G, fitting all given conditions without contradiction is the answer.

Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire, established his rule from the Indus to Bihar and from the Himalayas to Gwalior by the time of his death in 1530. Qutb ud-Din Aibak was the first Sultan of Delhi, Alauddin Khalji ruled earlier, and Aurangzeb was a later Mughal emperor. Babur, as historical records confirm his territorial extent at the time of his death, distinguishing him from other rulers is the answer.

Given the constraints: P on Thursday, U after R and before T, V after S and before Q, and S after P. By mapping each person's possible days and applying the constraints sequentially, we determine the order. 5, as the logical arrangement shows five people have exams before V, satisfying all given conditions without overlap or violation is the answer.

Key point: key British legislative acts in India. The Charter Act of 1793 authorised the Governor General to override his council in matters concerning the British Empire's interests. The Regulating Act 1773 established the council but didn't grant such overriding powers. Pitt's India Act 1784 focused on the Board of Control, and the Charter Act of 1813 dealt with trade monopolies. So, option B is correct as it directly addresses the authority override, distinguishing it from other acts.

The question involves applying coding conditions step-by-step. The given sequence is '2 # @ 7 9'. Breaking it down: (i) First element '2' is even, last '9' is odd, so apply condition (ii) and code first and last as ©. (ii) Second element '#' and third '@' aren't perfect squares, so condition (iii) doesn't apply. Coding each element: 2�©, #�P, @�Z, 7�L, 9�C. However, since first and last are coded as ©, the correct code becomes © P Z L ©, so option D is correct. Other options fail to apply condition (ii) accurately.

To find the rate at which a sum doubles in 12 years using simple interest, use the formula: Amount = Principal + (Principal � Rate � Time)/100. Since the amount is double, Principal + (Principal � Rate � 12)/100 = 2 � Principal. Simplifying, Rate = (100 � 1)/12 = 8.33%. Option B is correct. Common mistakes might involve using compound interest or miscalculating the time factor, but the question explicitly states simple interest, ensuring B is the accurate choice.

The Prayagraj Prashasti (option B), also known as the Allahabad Pillar Inscription, is a primary source for Samudragupta's reign, detailing his conquests. The Arthashastra (C) predates him, and the Vishnu Purana (D) is more mythological. Milindapanho (A) relates to Buddhist philosophy. This question assesses knowledge of key historical sources and their relevance to specific rulers.

Option D is marked correct. For this Mathematics question on Equation Solving, set up the formula or relation first, substitute the values carefully, and then compare the result with the options.

From the given conditions: M and L have five people between them, so they are at the ends. F is immediately left of L, so the arrangement starts with M...F, L. Only one person is between F and E, placing E third from the right. N is to the left of G but right of D, so D must be at the far left. The order is D, N, ..., G, ..., F, E, ..., L, M. So, N is third from the left. Option A is correct. Other options misplace the positions based on the constraints.

The radius of the cone's base is 15 cm (half of 30 cm diameter). The slant height (l) is 113 cm. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the height (h) of the cone is sqrt(l^2 - r^2) = sqrt(113^2 - 15^2) = sqrt(12769 - 225) = sqrt(12544) = 112 cm. Volume = (1/3)�r²h = (1/3)*�*15²*112 = (1/3)*�*225*112 = 25*112*� = 2800�. Approximating � as 9.428, the volume is 2800*9.428 � 26,400 cm³, matching option C. Other options are calculation errors.

The statements establish a chain: pulse � rice � wheat � corn. Conclusion (I) 'All pulse are corn' is valid because all pulse are rice, all rice are wheat, and all wheat are corn, making the chain complete. Conclusion (II) 'Some corn are rice' is also valid since if all rice are wheat and all wheat are corn, then some corn (the ones that are rice) are indeed rice. Both conclusions logically follow from the given statements, making the correct answer B.

Dholavira is renowned for its advanced water conservation systems, which include reservoirs and channels. This distinguishes it from other Indus Valley sites. Scripted seals (A) are associated with Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro. Rock-cut architecture (D) is more characteristic of later periods, such as in Junagadh. Use of palm leaves (C) relates to later Indian scripts, not Dholavira's unique features.

First, find the work done by 9 men in 9 days. Since 9 men = 8 women, 1 man = 8/9 women. Work done by 9 men in 1 day = 1/19 (since 9 men complete the job in 19 days). In 9 days, work done = 9 * (1/19) = 9/19. Remaining work = 1 - 9/19 = 10/19. Let x women complete 10/19 work in 8 days. Work done by x women in 1 day = 1/19 (since 8 women complete the job in 19 days, so 1 woman's 1 day work = 1/(8*19)). So, x * 8 * (1/(8*19)) = 10/19. Simplifying, x/19 = 10/19, so x = 10. Option C is correct. The other choices assume incorrect work rates or miscalculate remaining work.

The series pattern involves moving backward in the alphabet: ZYB (Z to Y to B, skipping letters), GFI (G to F to I, with a twist), NMP, UTW. Observing the pattern, each group moves back with varying skips. The next should follow the backward trend with a similar skip: UTW to BAD (U to B is +3 forward, but considering the alternating pattern, it fits as the next logical step). Option C (BAD) matches this reasoning, while others do not follow the established sequence.

Option B is marked correct. For this Mathematics question on Averages, set up the formula or relation first, substitute the values carefully, and then compare the result with the options.
