Q:

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any part

As you know(a) that the ignorant(b) are easily duped(c). No error.(d)

A) a B) b
C) c D) d
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) c

Explanation:

'Are’ needs to be replaced with ‘is’ to make the sentence contextually correct. This is because, ‘in subject verb agreement, we match the subject with the nearest verb or the verb with the nearest or the first subject. But the verb should be matched with the main subject of the sentence’. Here the main subject is ‘Ignorant’ which is singular and so is followed by a singular verb.

Q:

Which number multiplied by itself will give the output as 12345678987654321 ?

Answer

11 * 11 = 121


111 * 111 = 12321


what we observe is that the square of the number follows a pattern: 2 1's gives 121. 3 1's gives 12321.


so to get 12345678987654321 we need to get square of 9 1's(111,111,111).

Q:

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

 


Doing an internship at the University of Lille in France, I almost always found myself stuck whenever I had to speak to non-Indians about India or on anything 'Indian'. This was more because of the subtle differences in the way the French understood India in comparison to what I thought was 'Indian'. For instance, when I, or any Indian for that matter, say 'Hindi' is an Indian language, what it means is that it is one of the languages widely spoken in India. This need not be similar to the understanding that the French would have when they hear of 'Hindi' as an Indian language. Because for them Hindi then becomes the only language spoken in India. This is a natural inference that the French, Germans, Italians and many other European nationals would tend to make, because that is generally how it is in their own respective countries. The risk of such inappropriate generalisations made about 'Indian' is not restricted to language alone but also for India's landscape, cuisine, movies, music, climate, economic development and even political ideologies. The magnitude of diversity of one European country can be easily compared to that of one of the Indian State, isn't it? Can they imagine that India is one country whose diversity can be equated to that of the entire European continent? The onus is upon us to go ahead and clarify the nuances in 'Indianness' while we converse. But why should one do so? How does it even matter to clarify?

 

Why do some French people think that Hindi is the only Indian language?

 

A) Because that is the way in most European countries B) That is what is being taught to them
C) They know India is also called as Hindustan so people there must speak only Hindi D) As most Indians they meet speak Hindi
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Because that is the way in most European countries
