Reading and Writing (Module-1) QUESTION #5351

The following passage is adapted from Jerome K. Jerome’s novel Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog). The narrator is on a boat trip with his friends. '[Harris] told us anecdotes of how he had gone across the [English] Channel when it was so rough that the passengers had to be tied into their [beds], and he and the captain were the only two living souls on board who were not ill. Sometimes it was he and the second mate who were not ill; but it was generally he and one other man. If not he and another man, then it was he by himself.' Which choice best describes the function of the underlined sentence in the text as a whole?

It indicates the reason for Harris's eagerness to resume traveling.
It hints at Harris's feeling that during an earlier boat trip, others didn't include him in activities.
It emphasizes that Harris always boasts about his own constitution when speaking of a previous boat trip.✔️
It reveals that although Harris claims to prefer solitary activities when traveling, he actually enjoys having company.

Correct Answer Logic:

The sentence lists variations of Harris being the only one not sick, highlighting his habit of bragging about his physical resilience.

Question 3263

The keys were found __________ the drawer where you left them last week.

under
in✔️
on
beside

Correct Answer Logic:

The preposition 'in' is correct here because keys are located inside a drawer. 'Under' means beneath, 'on' means on top of a surface, and 'beside' means next to — none of these fit the context of being inside a drawer.

Chemistry QUESTION #7501

Question 3265

When dichloromethane (DCM) and water (H$_2$O) are used together for differential extraction, which statement correctly describes their behaviour in a separating funnel?

DCM forms the lower layer and H$_2$O the upper layer✔️
DCM and H$_2$O form a turbid colloidal mixture
DCM forms the upper layer and H$_2$O the lower layer
DCM and H$_2$O are completely miscible

Correct Answer Logic:

In solvent extraction, liquids separate into layers based on density.

Density of DCM (CH$_2$Cl$_2$) $\approx 1.33\ \text{g/mL}$ — denser than water.
Density of water $\approx 1.00\ \text{g/mL}$.
DCM and water are immiscible — they do not dissolve in each other.

Since DCM is denser, it sinks to the bottom, and water stays on top. They separate cleanly — no colloidal mixture forms.

Physics QUESTION #4393

Question 3268

If a plastic sheet of relative permittivity $\varepsilon_r = 2.5$ is inserted between two point charges placed in vacuum, then the electrostatic force between them:

Increases by a factor of 2.5
Decreases by a factor of 2.5✔️
Increases by a factor of 5
Decreases by a factor of 5

Correct Answer Logic:

Coulomb's law in a medium: $F = \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{\varepsilon_r r^2}$. Inserting a dielectric with $\varepsilon_r = 2.5$ reduces the force by the factor $\varepsilon_r$. So the force decreases by a factor of $2.5$.

Law QUESTION #9528

Question 3276

A files a suit against B claiming Rs. 200,000 as price of goods sold. B in his written statement claims a set-off of Rs. 250,000 for a separate unliquidated claim for damages for breach of another contract. Can B's set-off be recognised as a legal set-off?

Yes; the Court can estimate the damages and allow the set-off
Yes; since both arise from business dealings, the set-off is permissible
No; a legal set-off under Order VIII Rule 6 must be for an ascertained sum of money legally recoverable; an unliquidated claim for damages is not an ascertained sum and cannot be pleaded as a legal set-off, though it may be raised as an equitable set-off in appropriate circumstances✔️
Yes; any financial claim qualifies as a set-off

Correct Answer Logic:

Order VIII Rule 6 CPC requires that a legal set-off be for an ascertained sum of money legally recoverable from the plaintiff. An unliquidated claim for damages that has not been reduced to a definite sum does not satisfy this requirement. Such claims may be raised as a counter-claim or equitable set-off, but not as a legal set-off.

Statistics QUESTION #1978

Question 3277

Given $n_1 = 2$ samples with replacement from population $\{4, 6, 8\}$ and $n_2 = 2$ from $\{1, 2, 3\}$, the variance of the sampling distribution of $\bar{X}_1 - \bar{X}_2$ equals:

$\dfrac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1} - \dfrac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}$
$\dfrac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1} + \dfrac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}$✔️
$\sigma_1^2 + \sigma_2^2$
$\dfrac{\sigma_1^2 + \sigma_2^2}{n_1 + n_2}$

Correct Answer Logic:

For independent samples, $\sigma^2_{\bar{X}_1 - \bar{X}_2} = \dfrac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1} + \dfrac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}$. For population $\{4,6,8\}$: $\mu_1=6$, $\sigma_1^2 = \frac{8}{3}$. For $\{1,2,3\}$: $\mu_2=2$, $\sigma_2^2=\frac{2}{3}$. So variance $= \frac{8/3}{2}+\frac{2/3}{2} = \frac{4}{3}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{5}{3}$.

Education QUESTION #6759

Question 3278

A test is highly reliable but consistently measures vocabulary skill instead of reading comprehension as intended. According to the framework of validity and reliability, which statement is MOST accurate?

The test is both valid and reliable because reliability is the most important psychometric property
The test is reliable but not valid for its intended purpose; reliability is necessary but not sufficient for validity✔️
The test is valid because it consistently measures something — consistency itself defines validity
Both validity and reliability are compromised when the construct measured differs from the intended one

Correct Answer Logic:

This scenario illustrates the classic principle: a test can be reliable without being valid. Reliability (consistency) is a necessary but not sufficient condition for validity. Valid results require that the test measures what it claims to measure. Consistent measurement of the wrong construct produces reliable but invalid scores.

Verbal Reasoning QUESTION #8179

Question 3280

In a set of 24 positive integers, exactly 12 are less than 50 and the remaining 12 are all greater than 50 (none equals 50). Compare:

Quantity A: The median of the 24 integers

Quantity B: $50$

Quantity A is greater
Quantity B is greater
The two quantities are equal
The relationship cannot be determined from the information given✔️

Correct Answer Logic:

The median of 24 values is the average of the 12th and 13th values when sorted.

12 values are below 50 and 12 values are above 50 (none equals 50).

When sorted, values 1–12 are all less than 50, and values 13–24 are all greater than 50.

The 12th value $< 50$ and the 13th value $> 50$.

Median $= \dfrac{\text{12th value} + \text{13th value}}{2}$.

This could be less than, equal to, or greater than 50 depending on the specific values.

For example: 12th value $= 49$, 13th value $= 51$ → median $= 50$ (equal). But 12th $= 1$, 13th $= 51$ → median $= 26 < 50$. The relationship cannot be determined.
