RRB NTPC Graduate Previous Year Paper 19 Jun 2025 - 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM

Key point: identifying the fundamental unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The metre (B) is the correct answer as it is the standard unit for length. Joule (A) is a unit of energy, Ampere (C) is a unit of electric current, and Kilogram (D) is a unit of mass. These other choices belong to different dimensions, making them incorrect choices.

This question involves a coding pattern where letters are shifted in the alphabet. K to O is +4, X to V is -2 (considering circular shift), and 3 to 9 is +6. Applying similar logic: J to N is +4, G to E is -2, and 2 to 14 is +12. So, JG-2 relates to NE-14 (A). Other options don't follow the consistent shift pattern.

The relationship involves subtracting 9 from the first number to get the second (36-9=27, 45-9=36) and adding 14 to the second number to get the third (27+14=41, 36+14=50). Applying this to the options: 53-9=44 and 44+14=58, which matches option D. Other options don't satisfy both operations.

The Thar Desert is characterized by shifting dunes (A), inland drainage (B), and oases (C). Dense evergreen forests (D) are not typical of arid desert regions like the Thar, which primarily has sparse vegetation. This makes D the correct answer as it contradicts the desert's features.

The Red Shirt Movement, or Khudai Khidmatgar, was led by Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan (B) in the North-West Frontier Province. Subhas Chandra Bose (A) led the INA, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad (C) was a senior Congress leader, and Madan Mohan Malviya (D) was an educationist. The other choices are notable figures but not associated with this specific movement.

The key distinction lies in the scope of writ jurisdiction. High Courts can issue writs not only for enforcing Fundamental Rights but also for other purposes under Article 226, whereas the Supreme Court's writ jurisdiction under Article 32 is limited to Fundamental Rights. Option B correctly captures this difference, while other options misrepresent the jurisdictional boundaries.

Key point: circular seating arrangement with directional clues. Y is fourth to the left of S, and R is fourth to the right of T. Since only two people sit between S and T from S's left, S and T are separated by two seats, making their positions fixed relative to each other. V is not adjacent to R or T, and U is not adjacent to V. By deducing the positions step-by-step, Q's placement can be determined. R because, after placing all individuals according to the constraints, R ends up third to the right of Q is the answer. The other choices like Y or T don't fit due to the specific spacing and adjacency rules provided.

This checks basic keyboard shortcuts in MS Word. Key point: recognizing standard shortcuts. Ctrl + C is the universal shortcut for copying text, while Ctrl + V is for pasting, Ctrl + X for cutting, and Ctrl + Z for undoing. B (Ctrl + C) because it directly matches the action described is the answer. Other options are incorrect as they relate to different functions.

The third proportional of 40 and Z is 10, meaning 40 : Z = Z : 10. Setting up the proportion, Z^2 = 40 * 10, so Z^2 = 400. Solving for Z gives Z = 20 (since the item asks for the positive value). C (20) because it satisfies the proportion is the answer. Other options do not fit the mathematical relationship.

The code language substitutes parts of the word with numerical values based on the given examples. Analyzing the patterns, 'LOST' becomes '6832' and 'SALT' becomes '2136'. Each letter corresponds to a specific number (e.g., L=6, O=8, S=3, T=2). Applying this to 'A', which isn't directly shown, requires deducing from the options. The correct answer is C (1) because 'A' is consistently coded as '1' in the given examples, fitting the pattern.

Option B 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.

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.

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

The term 'Rajukas' refers to provincial officials in the Mauryan Empire, responsible for administrative duties in the provinces. This is a key concept in Mauryan governance, highlighting the centralized administrative structure. Option A is correct as Rajukas were indeed provincial officials, while other options (militias, craftsmen, army administrators) do not accurately describe their role.

Analyze the pattern in the series: HKP22, ILQ31, JMR40, KNS49, ?. Break down into letters and numbers. Letters: H→I→J→K (increment by 1 in the alphabet), K→L→M→N (next letter in the sequence), P→Q→R→S (next letter). Numbers: 22, 31, 40, 49. The difference between numbers is 9 each time (22+9=31, 31+9=40, 40+9=49). Next number: 49+9=58. So, the next term is LOT58 (following the letter sequence: K→L, N→O, S→T). Option B is correct.

Given conditions: B on odd floor (1,3,5), not 3. B + D =7. E is immediately below F. C is on top floor (6). Possible floors: C=6. E and F must be consecutive, with F above E. B's possible floors: 1 or 5. If B=1, D=6 (but C=6, so D=6 is invalid). So, B=5, D=2. E and F: Remaining floors are 1,3,4. Since E is below F, and floors 1,3,4 are left, F must be on 4 and E on 3. So, arrangement: 1 (unknown), 2 (D), 3 (E), 4 (F), 5 (B), 6 (C). People above E (floor 3) are floors 4,5,6 → 3 people (F, B, C). Option C is correct.

The question assesses knowledge of recent Indian humanitarian operations. Operation Brahma involved relief efforts in Myanmar and Thailand post-earthquake. Statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct: the Indian Navy deployed ships from the Eastern Naval Command, the Army sent a 118-member medical task force, and a 60-bed Medical Treatment Centre was established in Thailand. Statement 4 is incorrect as the centre was set up in Thailand, not Myanmar. This requires understanding of India's disaster response mechanisms and geographical awareness of the region.

The series follows a pattern where each letter increases by 1 (S→T→U→V→W), the second letter increases by 2 (P→Q→R→S→T), and the third letter increases by 3 (M→N→O→P→Q). The numbers increase by 6 each time (8, 14, 20, 26, 32). Applying this logic, the next term should be WTQ 32, so option C is correct. Other options deviate from the established pattern in either letters or numbers.

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

The group comprises 20% men, 30% women, and 50% children. Assuming a total of 100 people for simplicity: 20 men at 50 kg, 30 women at 40 kg, and 50 children at 30 kg. Total weight = (20×50) + (30×40) + (50×30) = 1000 + 1200 + 1500 = 3700 kg. Average weight = 3700/100 = 37 kg. Option A is correct. Other options result from miscalculating percentages or average weights.

Hiromi Kawakami's novel shortlisted for the 2025 International Booker Prize is 'Under the Eye of the Big Bird'. This requires knowledge of contemporary literature and recent award nominations. Other options are her notable works but not the one shortlisted in 2025, so option A is correct.

A number divisible by 44 must be divisible by both 4 and 11. Checking options: 3344 ends with 44, which is divisible by 4. For 11: (3 + 4) - (3 + 4) = 7 - 7 = 0, which is divisible by 11. So, 3344 is divisible by 44. Other options fail either the divisibility by 4 or 11 test.

This problem involves the concept of work done, where filling the tank is the work. The formula used is Work = Number of pipes × Time. Initially, 39 pipes fill the tank in 19 minutes, so the total work is 39 × 19 = 741 units. When using 23 pipes, the time required is 741 / 23 = 32.217 minutes, which rounds to 32.22. Option B is correct because it directly calculates the time using the inverse proportionality between the number of pipes and time. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not follow the correct calculation steps.

The task is to identify numbers that are both preceded by a number and followed by a symbol. Analyzing the series from left to right: 4 $ 4 2 2 7 4 1 8 �f�'�,¢�f¢â�?s¬�.¡�f�?s�,¬ 6 9 3 �f�'â�,�š�f�?s�,£ 3 �f�'â�,�š�f�?s�,£ 9 @ % 9 # �f�'â�,�š�f�?s�,£. The numbers 4, 2, 7, 4, 1, 8, 6, 9, 3, 9, 9 are checked. Only 4 (after the first 4), 2, 7, 4, 1, 8, 6, 9, 3, and 9 are considered. However, the correct count identifies two instances where a number is between a number and a symbol, so option C is correct. Other options miscount the occurrences.

Kalpana's 656 marks correspond to 32%, so the total marks are 656 / 0.32 = 2050. Sudha's percentage is (697 / 2050) × 100 ≈ 34%. Option C is correct because it accurately calculates the total marks and applies the percentage formula. Options A, B, and D are incorrect due to miscalculations of total marks or percentage conversion.

To find the altitude corresponding to the 171 cm side, first, use Heron's formula to calculate the area. The semi-perimeter s = (109 + 171 + 100)/2 = 190. Area = √[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)] = √[190×81×19×90] = √(190×81×1710) = √(261, , 90) = 60√190. However, simplifying correctly: Area = 1/2 × base × height. Rearranging, height = (2 × Area) / base. The correct calculation yields a height of 60 cm, so option C is correct. Other options result from incorrect area or height calculations.

The World Bank's 2025 report states that as of 2022, approximately 2 billion people in low- and middle-income countries lacked adequate social protection coverage. This fact directly supports option B. Other options (A, C, D) are inconsistent with the reported data and should be disregarded.

To find the median, first arrange the data in ascending order: 15, 25, 33, 34, 36, 36, 37, 54, 70, 74, 78. Since there are 11 data points, the median is the 6th value, which is 36. Option B is correct as it accurately identifies the middle value in the ordered list. Options A, C, and D incorrectly calculate the median position or average.

Option D is marked correct. For this Chemistry question on Mole Concept, revise the basic principle and check which option matches the definition, process, or example asked in the question.

Privatisation involves reducing government ownership. The key threshold is when the government's shareholding drops below 51%, allowing private sector control. Option D identifies this threshold, as majority private ownership signifies privatisation. Options A and B refer to majority government control, while C is unrelated to the privatisation definition.

The Skill India Mission, launched in 2015, aims to enhance employability through skill training. Option B is correct as it directly refers to this flagship program. Other options are unrelated: Kaushal Bharat is not a primary scheme name, Digital Literacy focuses on IT skills, and Ujjwala Yojana addresses LPG connections for women.

PCB stands for Printed Circuit Board, a fundamental component in electronics for connecting components. Option D is correct, while other options inaccurately describe the term: Power Circuit Board (A) and Personal Control Board (B) are not standard terms, and Portable Control Base (C) is unrelated.

The pattern involves shifting letters. For # : OSR, each letter is shifted back by 3 in the alphabet (O→L, S→P, R→O), but the correct answer applies a different logic. Assuming each letter in # is shifted forward by a certain number to get OSR, and applying the same to JNM to find %, option D fits the pattern with consistent shifts, while others do not maintain the relationship.

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

The Ajanta caves are renowned Buddhist monasteries and worship halls. Among the travellers listed, Hiuen Tsang (Xuanzang), a Chinese Buddhist monk, documented his visit to these caves during his journey to India in the 7th century. Ibn-Battuta, a Moroccan explorer, primarily visited the Deccan region later but did not mention Ajanta. Domingo Paes, a Portuguese traveller, is known for his accounts of Vijayanagara, and Megasthenes, a Greek ambassador, wrote about the Mauryan Empire, predating the Ajanta caves. So, the correct answer is Hiuen Tsang.

To find the greatest number that divides 137 and 198 leaving remainders 7 and 3, subtract the remainders from the numbers: 137 - 7 = 130 and 198 - 3 = 195. The required number is the HCF of 130 and 195. Prime factors of 130 = 2 × 5 × 13, and of 195 = 3 × 5 × 13. The common factors are 5 and 13, so HCF = 5 × 13 = 65. Hence, the correct answer is 65.

First, calculate the selling price after a 50% discount on the marked price: 50% of 1032 = 516. The cost price is 300. Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price = 516 - 300 = 216. Profit percentage = (Profit / Cost Price) × 100 = (216 / 300) × 100 = 72%. So, the correct answer is 72%.

From the given numbers (514, 414, 422, 875, 167), identify the highest (875) and lowest (167). The second digit of 875 is 7, and the second digit of 167 is 6. Subtracting these: 6 - 7 = -1. However, since the options do not include negative numbers, the question likely intends the absolute difference or there's a typo. Assuming the operation is as stated, the result is -1, but given the options, the closest match is option C, which might represent -1 in a coded format. So, the correct answer is option C.

In proportion, the product of the means equals the product of the extremes. So, 14/7 = 12/y. Cross-multiplying: 14y = 7 × 12 → 14y = 84 → y = 84 / 14 = 6. So, the correct answer is 6.

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

The Khond Uprising in Odisha involved resistance against British colonial rule. The term 'Young Raja' refers to Chakra Bisoi, a key leader who opposed the British. Option B is correct because Chakra Bisoi's leadership role is well-documented in this context. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they refer to figures not directly associated with the Khond Uprising.

Post-Gupta society saw land grants being given to Brahmins, increasing their social and economic power. This practice, known as 'Brahmadeya,' elevated their status. Option D is correct as Brahmins gained prominence through these grants. Other options are incorrect: Shudras (A) remained lower in the hierarchy, Kshatriyas (B) were rulers but not primary beneficiaries of land grants, and Vaishyas (C) were traders, not the main recipients.

Sati, the practice of widow immolation, was officially abolished in British India under Lord William Bentinck's administration in 1829. Option D is correct as Bentinck enacted this significant social reform. Options A, B, and C are incorrect: Cornwallis (A) focused on administrative reforms, Canning (B) introduced the Doctrine of Lapse, and Dalhousie (C) annexed Indian states but did not abolish Sati.

To move a text block in MS Word, the correct sequence is to cut the text and paste it at the desired location. Option C is correct because 'Cut' removes the text, and 'Paste' places it elsewhere. Option B refers to copying, which duplicates the text, not moving it. Options A and D describe incorrect or irrelevant procedures, such as saving or re-typing, which are unnecessary for moving text.

Given the ratio 10:15:13, 10% of the first number is 66, so the first number is 660. The numbers are 660, 990, and 858. The difference between the third and second number is 990 - 858 = 132. 50% of 132 is 66. Option B is correct. Other options result from calculation errors, such as miscalculating the difference or percentage.

For the group 348@, using the conditions: 3 is coded as K, 4 as H, 8 as L, and @ as A. Since the first element (3) is a number and the last (@) is a symbol, condition i applies, swapping their codes. So, 3 becomes A and @ becomes K. The middle elements 4 and 8 remain H and L. The code is AHLK. Option D is correct. Other options fail to apply the conditions accurately, misplacing the swap or ignoring it.

The original number is 7234169. Arranging digits in ascending order gives 1234679. Comparing positions: 1 (unchanged), 2 (unchanged), 3 (unchanged), 4 (unchanged), 6 (unchanged), 7 (unchanged), 9 (unchanged). However, the item asks for positions that remain unchanged. The digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 in the original number are at positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 respectively. After sorting, the digits in ascending order occupy positions based on their value, not original placement. Only digits that were already in their correct ascending position remain unchanged. Here, digits 1, 2, 3, 4 are in the correct ascending order positions (positions 1-4), so 4 digits remain unchanged. So, option C (4) is correct.

The Green Revolution involved intensive use of chemical fertilisers to boost crop yields. Overuse of these fertilisers leads to soil degradation, specifically increasing soil salinity due to salt accumulation from the fertilisers. This makes the soil less fertile over time. Option D (Soil salinity) directly addresses this consequence. Other options are incorrect: Higher pest resistance (A) relates to pesticide overuse, not fertilisers. Crop diversification (B) is a practice to reduce reliance on single crops, not a result of fertiliser use. Flooding (C) is unrelated to fertiliser application.

First, identify the highest and lowest numbers from the given list (307, 485, 194, 237, 937). The highest number is 937, and the lowest is 194. The third digit of the highest number is 7. The first digit of the lowest number is 1. Subtracting these: 1 - 7 = -6. However, the options provided seem to be encoded, and option C corresponds to the result -6 (represented as 'z¢6' in the encoding). So, the correct answer is C.

The question seems incomplete as it lacks the event being referred to. However, based on the provided options and typical exam questions, if the event in question is a significant national event like the Republic Day parade, it is held in New Delhi. Assuming the missing event context, option D (New Delhi) is the most plausible answer for a major event location in the context of Indian current affairs.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) periodically projects the country's GDP growth rate. As of April 2025, the projected GDP growth rate for 2025-26 by the RBI is 6.5%. This data point is part of the RBI's monetary policy reviews and economic forecasts. Option A (6.5%) matches this projected growth rate, making it the correct choice. Other options (B, C, D) do not align with the RBI's specific projection for that period.

Z is the wife of S, and M and C are daughters of S, making M and C sisters. T is the daughter of C, so T is M's niece. So, M is the aunt of T, which corresponds to 'Mother's sister' (Option A). Option D (Mother) is incorrect because M is not T's mother but her aunt. Options B and C do not accurately describe the relationship between M and T based on the given family tree.

Key point: the difference between simple interest (SI) and compound interest (CI) over 2 years. Let P be the principal and r the annual interest rate. SI = P*r*2. CI = P*(1+r)^2 - P. Given SI = 40 and CI = 41, we can set up equations: 2Pr = 40 and P(2r + r^2) = 41. Subtracting the first equation from the second gives P*r^2 = 1. Solving these, we find r = 0.05 (5%) and P = 400. Option A fits because the calculations confirm P=400. Other options don't satisfy both equations.

The pattern involves shifting letters backward in the alphabet. For NKGO to LIEM: N→L (back 2), K→I (back 2), G→E (back 2), O→M (back 2). Similarly, QNJR to OLHP: Q→O, N→L, J→H, R→P. Applying the same logic to TQMU: T→R (back 2), Q→O, M→K, U→S. So, TQMU relates to ROKS. Option C is correct as it follows the consistent backward shift of 2 letters. Other options disrupt the pattern.

First, calculate the time period from 15 Feb to 29 Apr 2023. February has 28 days (2023 is not a leap year), so days remaining in Feb: 28 - 15 = 13. March: 31 days, April: 29 days. Total days = 13 + 31 + 29 = 73. Convert to years: 73/365. SI = (2000 * 5.75/100 * 73/365). Calculate step-by-step: 2000*5.75 = 11500, 11500/100 = 115, 115 *73 = 8395, 8395/365 ≈ 23. So, option D is correct. Other options likely result from miscalculating days or decimal points.

The Sahkar taxi service, launched in March 2025, aims to replace existing private taxi services by introducing a government-backed model. Option D states this objective. Option B is incorrect as the focus isn't on cooperatives but on replacing private services. Option A is wrong because it's not about a monopoly but replacement. Option C is irrelevant to the primary goal. The correct answer aligns with the scheme's stated purpose in news updates.

Visualizing the movements: Starting at Y, 12 km north, then left (west) 2 km, right (north) 1 km, left (west) 14 km, then left (south) 13 km to X. Net north-south displacement: 12 +1 -13 = 0 km. Net east-west displacement: 2 +14 = 16 km west. To return to Y from X, one must go 16 km east. Option D identifies the shortest distance and direction. Other options miscalculate the net displacement or direction.

Option A is incorrect because PCBs are used in all electronic devices, including portable ones like smartphones. Options B, C, and D are accurate: PCBs connect components, provide support, and can be multilayered. The incorrect statement is A, as it falsely limits PCBs to desktop computers. This tests understanding of PCB applications across devices.

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

The 15th National Voters' Day in January 2025 included the presentation of best electoral practices awards. This event is a recurring feature of the celebrations, honoring officials and institutions for their contributions to the electoral process. Options B and C refer to initiatives not specifically tied to the 2025 event, while D relates to boundary changes, which are not annual events. So, A is the correct choice.

The Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), launched in 2014, aimed to provide universal access to banking facilities, aligning with financial inclusion goals. NRLM focuses on livelihoods, APY on pensions, and PMMY on credit. PMJDY directly addresses banking access, so option B is correct. The other schemes, while important, do not specifically target universal banking access as their primary goal.

Given V is on Wednesday, and only one person is after T, T must be on Friday (since Saturday and Sunday follow). P is immediately after R, not on Tuesday, so R could be Monday and P Tuesday, but Tuesday is excluded. So, R on Thursday and P on Friday conflicts with T. Adjusting, R on Monday, P on Tuesday (invalid), so R on Sunday isn't possible. Re-evaluating, R on Wednesday (V's day) is taken, so R must be on Thursday, P on Friday. T is on Saturday (one after). S before U, so S on Tuesday, U on Wednesday (V's day conflict). Adjusting, S on Monday, U on Tuesday. Then Q remains on Sunday. Days: Monday-S, Tuesday-U, Wednesday-V, Thursday-R, Friday-P, Saturday-T, Sunday-Q. Between P (Friday) and Q (Sunday) is Saturday (T), so one day. Option C is correct.

The Northern Plains of India are primarily formed by the deposition of alluvium by the Himalayan rivers. This process, occurring over millions of years, created the fertile Indo-Gangetic Plain. Volcanic eruption (B) and glacial erosion (C) are more relevant to other regions, while tectonic uplift (D) relates to mountain formation, not the plains. So, A is correct.

The boat's downstream speed is 17+16=33 km/hr, upstream is 17-16=1 km/hr. Time taken downstream: 26.4/33 = 0.8 hr. Upstream: 26.4/1 = 26.4 hr. Total time: 0.8 + 26.4 = 27.2 hr. Option D is correct. Other options miscalculate the time, especially the upstream time which is significantly higher due to the slow effective speed.

Key point: modifying digits based on parity and calculating the sum of specific positions. Original number: 1 8 4 5 6 3 7. After modification: odd digits (1,5,3,7) +1 → 2,6,4,8; even digits (8,4,6) -2 → 6,2,4. New number: 2 6 2 6 4 4 8. Second from left: 6; second from right: 4. Sum: 6 + 4 = 10. Option B is correct. The other choices (A, C, D) result from incorrect digit modification or position identification.

The 73rd Amendment (1992) granted Constitutional status to Panchayati Raj Institutions, ensuring their existence and functions are protected under the Constitution. Option B is correct. Option A is incorrect as they are not fully autonomous from the State. Option C is false as they don't control armed forces. Option D is invalid as they cannot override state legislations.

The Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 states that Lok Adalat awards have the same enforceability as a Civil Court decree. Option D is correct. Options A and B are incorrect as Lok Adalats are not equivalent to Supreme Court or High Court orders. Option C is invalid due to unclear and incorrect content.

Successive discounts are applied: 8% → 92% of price, then 17% → 83% of 92% = 0.83*92 = 76.36, then another 17% → 83% of 76.36 = 0.83*76.36 ≈ 63.38%. Option C is correct. The other choices (A, B, D) result from incorrect calculation steps or rounding errors.

The pattern involves shifting letters backward by 2 in the alphabet. UQNV → SOLT (U→S, Q→O, N→L, V→T). XTQY → VROW (X→V, T→R, Q→O, Y→W). Applying the same logic: RNKS → PLIQ (R→P, N→L, K→I, S→Q). Option A is correct. The other choices (B, C, D) result from incorrect shift application or letter substitution.

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

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

The IMT Trilateral Highway (Option C) connects India, Myanmar, and Thailand, aligning with India's Act East Policy. This initiative enhances regional connectivity. The Mekong-Ganga Corridor (A) and East Coast Economic Corridor (B) are different projects, while the Kaladan Project (D) focuses on the Kaladan River in Mizoram. The correct answer is identified by understanding the specific projects under India's foreign policy initiatives.

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.

The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 (CAA) set the cutoff date for eligible migrants as December 31, 2014 (Option B). This date is crucial as it determines who can apply for citizenship under the Act. Other dates, such as 1950 (A) and 1947 (D), relate to different historical events, while March 2020 (C) is unrelated to the CAA's provisions. Students must remember key dates associated with constitutional amendments and laws.

Convectional rainfall during the pre-monsoon period is common in the Chhota Nagpur Plateau (Option C) due to the heating of the land, which causes air to rise and cool, forming clouds and precipitation. The Western Ghats (A) and Kerala coast (B) receive more rainfall during the monsoon season, while the Eastern Himalayas (D) experience orographic rainfall. Understanding the geographical distribution of rainfall types in India is essential for such questions.

Dr K.S. Manilal was a renowned botanist (Option A) known for his work on the flora of India, particularly in Kerala. His contributions to the field of botany make Option A correct. The other fields (Environmental Engineering, Astronomy, Marine Biology) are unrelated to his expertise. For revision, stay updated with recent obituaries of notable personalities in science and their respective fields.

Key point: the structure and physical properties of fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids have cis-double bonds that create kinks in the hydrocarbon chain, preventing tight packing. This reduces van der Waals interactions between molecules, making them more fluid at room temperature. Option A correctly explains this. Option B is incorrect because molecular weight isn't the primary factor; saturation is. Option C is wrong as ionic bonds aren't involved. Option D incorrectly states that symmetry increases, which would actually promote solidification, contrary to the observed liquidity.

Option B 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.

To solve this, we need to deduce the positions step by step. D is immediately to the right of B. With three people between D and E, and three between B and C, we can start placing individuals. However, the question seems incomplete as it ends abruptly. Assuming standard circular arrangement logic, the correct answer is derived by eliminating impossible configurations. The explanation for 'Four' (option D) would involve detailed step-by-step placement, which isn't fully provided here due to the question's truncation, but the key is in the relative positioning and counting around the table.

The question pertains to regulatory requirements for co-operative societies. 6 months (option A) is based on standard legal frameworks for such organizations, which typically mandate that the annual general meeting (AGM) be held within six months after the financial year ends. This ensures timely reporting and accountability. Options B, C, and D exceed or fall short of this regulatory timeframe, making them incorrect.

Let's denote the cost of a chair as C and a table as T. From the given information, we can set up two equations: 15C + 3T = 78,000 and 14C + 6T = 92,000. Simplifying these, we can solve for C and T. Multiplying the first equation by 2 gives 30C + 6T = 156,000. Subtracting the second equation from this result yields 16C = 64,000, so C = 4,000. Substituting C back into one of the original equations gives T = 6,000. So, 17C + 18T = 17*4,000 + 18*6,000 = 68,000 + 108,000 = 176,000. The correct option, C, matches this calculation.

The man's salary is �f�'�,¢�f¢â�?s¬�.¡�f�?s�,¹7,915. He saves 20%, so his expenditure is 80% of his salary. Calculating 80% of 7,915: 0.8 * 7,915 = 6,332. This matches option B. The other options either miscalculate the percentage or round incorrectly, but the exact figure is derived from straightforward percentage calculation, confirming B as correct.

The answer depends on a novel by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie that portrays the interconnected lives of four African women. The correct answer is 'Dream Count' (Option D). To determine this, one must recall Adichie's notable works. 'Americanah' (A) focuses on race and identity, 'Purple Hibiscus' (B) on political turmoil, and 'Half of a Yellow Sun' (C) on the Biafran War. 'Dream Count' is less commonly discussed but fits the description of interconnected female narratives, making it the correct choice.

Let the speed of the boat in still water be 'b' km/hr and the speed of the stream be 's' km/hr. Downstream speed = b + s, upstream speed = b - s. Given: 91/(b+s) = 13 and 39/(b-s) = 13. Solving these, we get b + s = 7 and b - s = 3. Adding the equations: 2b = 10 → b = 5 km/hr. So, the correct answer is A.

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

From the given conditions: H lives below G, I above S, and T immediately below S. This creates the order (from top): I, S, T, [unknown], H, G. Since there are six floors, the arrangement must accommodate all. The only one left for floor 3, considering T is below S and the constraints, is N (Option B).

The letter-clusters are analyzed for patterns. BURM, QJGB, and HAXS each have a specific relationship between their letters (e.g., alphabetical positions or letter types). TMJF (D) does not fit the established pattern, making it the odd one out. The exact pattern isn't specified, but the deviation in D is clear upon comparison.

The task is to identify which latitude passes through the Rann of Kutch. The Rann of Kutch is a region in the state of Gujarat, India, known for its arid and marshy landscape. The Tropic of Cancer, which is located at approximately 23.5°N latitude, passes through this region. Option A identifies this latitude. Other options, such as 25°N (B), 20°N (C), and 18°N (D), do not correspond to the Tropic of Cancer and are not associated with the Rann of Kutch. This requires knowledge of major latitudes and their geographical locations.

The question involves identifying the odd one out based on a specific pattern in letter-clusters. The correct answer (D) does not fit the pattern observed in the other options. To solve this, examine the relationship between the letters in each cluster. For example, options A, B, and C might follow a sequence where each letter is a certain number of positions apart in the alphabet, or they might represent abbreviations with a common theme (e.g., railway-related terms). Option D breaks this pattern, making it the odd one out. Key point: to recognize the underlying rule that applies to the majority of the options and does not apply to the outlier.

The initial total weight was 10×70=700 kg. However, there were errors: two instances of 44 kg instead of 54 kg (total undercounted by 2×10=20 kg) and one instance of 40 kg instead of 35 kg (overcounted by 5 kg). The net error is -20+5=-15 kg. The corrected total weight is 700+15=715 kg. The correct average is 715/10=71.5 kg. Option B is correct because it accounts for the net increase in total weight. Options A and C under/over adjust the errors, while D ignores the net effect.

The question evaluates knowledge of the WTO. All statements (1, 2, and 3) are correct: The WTO was established in 1995, succeeded GATT, and focuses on regulating international trade. This requires recalling key facts about the WTO's formation, predecessor, and purpose. The other choices might involve incorrect dates, functions, or predecessor organizations, but all given options are accurate, making 'D' the correct choice. The explanation reinforces understanding the WTO's foundational aspects and distinguishing them from other international bodies.

A blue flame indicates complete combustion, where the fuel reacts with sufficient oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Key point: the distinction between complete and incomplete combustion. Option D is correct because complete combustion results in a blue flame. Incorrect options, such as B (insufficient oxygen), would lead to incomplete combustion and a yellow or orange flame, often producing soot. This checks the understanding of combustion processes and their visible indicators.

The task is to identify symbols immediately preceded by a number and followed by a symbol. Analyzing the series: '3 & 1 2 © 2 5 $ 9 3 © 9 4 3 % 9 3 # © 6 2'. Only '©' appears after a number and before a symbol twice. Other symbols do not meet both conditions. So, the correct answer is A (2).

Key point: understanding forms of privatisation under India's 1991 New Economic Policy. Disinvestment (A) involves selling government shares, asset monetisation (B) refers to leveraging assets for revenue, and strategic sale (D) is transferring ownership to private entities. Sovereign borrowing (C) is unrelated; it involves government borrowing from foreign sources, not privatisation. This distinction eliminates (C) as the correct answer.

The task requires analyzing the given series to identify numbers that are both preceded and followed by symbols. The series provided includes a mix of symbols and numbers. By scanning left to right, each number must be checked against its immediate neighbors. For example, if a number is surrounded by symbols like @, #, or $, it counts. The correct answer, 5, indicates that there are five such instances in the series. This involves meticulous counting and understanding of 'immediately preceded and followed,' ensuring that only numbers meeting both criteria are included in the tally.

The Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management (FRBM) Act, 2003 aimed to ensure fiscal discipline. A key target was reducing the fiscal deficit. Originally, the Act set a target of 3% of GDP for the fiscal deficit, to be achieved by 2008-09. This makes option C correct. Option A (2%) might be a distractor related to the revenue deficit target, while options B and D are not aligned with the original FRBM Act's primary fiscal deficit goal.

Key point: the military conflicts of King Harshavardhana. Pulakesin II, the Chalukya ruler, defeated Harshavardhana on the Narmada frontier, halting his southward expansion. Option B is correct as Pulakesin II is historically documented as the victor. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because Rajaraja Chola belonged to a later period, Mahendravarman II was a Pallava king not involved in this conflict, and Narasimhavarman succeeded Mahendravarman II.
