Expla­na­tion: Con­tract means to become small­er or decrease in size, which is oppo­site to expand. 

3. Identify the correctly spelt word.

Expla­na­tion: The cor­rect spelling is “Accom­mo­da­tion”.

4. Choose the correct option: “Neither the manager nor the employees ___ willing to accept the proposal.”

Expla­na­tion: With “neither…nor”, the verb gen­er­al­ly agrees with the sub­ject near­er to it. “Employ­ees” is plur­al, so “were” is correct. 

5. Select the word which can replace the underlined phrase: “A person who cannot read or write.”

Expla­na­tion: A per­son who can­not read or write is called illiterate. 

6. Find the next number in the series: 4, 9, 19, 39, 79, ?

Expla­na­tion: Each term is mul­ti­plied by 2 and 1 is added: 4×2+1=9, 9×2+1=19, etc. There­fore 79×2+1=159.

7. If MANGO is coded as NZOHQ, then how will APPLE be coded using the same pattern?

Expla­na­tion: Each let­ter is moved one posi­tion for­ward in the alpha­bet. APPLE becomes BQQMF.

Expla­na­tion: The 8‑metre north and 8‑metre south move­ments can­cel each oth­er. The per­son remains 6 metres east of the start­ing point. 

9. In a class of 40 students, Ravi ranks 12th from the top. What is his rank from the bottom?

Expla­na­tion: Rank from bot­tom = Total stu­dents − Rank from top + 1 = 40 − 12 + 1 = 29. 

10. Statements: All pens are books. Some books are files. Which conclusion definitely follows?

Expla­na­tion: “All pens are books” is direct­ly giv­en in the state­ment, so it def­i­nite­ly follows. 

11. What is 20% of 450?

Expla­na­tion: 20% of 450 = 450 × 20/100 = 90. 

12. The average of 16, 22, 28, 34 and 40 is:

Expla­na­tion: Sum = 140. Aver­age = 140 ÷ 5 = 28. 

13. A sum of ₹800 is divided between A and B in the ratio 3:5. What is B’s share?

Expla­na­tion: Total parts = 3+5=8. B’s share = 5/8 × 800 = ₹500.

14. A shopkeeper buys an article for ₹1,200 and sells it for ₹1,380. What is the profit percentage?

Expla­na­tion: SI = P×R×T/100. There­fore P = 450×100/(5×3) = ₹3,000.

17. Find the missing number: 7, 14, 28, 56, ?

Expla­na­tion: Each num­ber is mul­ti­plied by 2. There­fore 56 × 2 = 112. 

18. If 3x + 7 = 28, what is the value of x?

Expla­na­tion: 3x = 28−7 = 21, there­fore x = 7.

Expla­na­tion: Com­bined work rate = 1/12 + 1/18 = 5/36. There­fore time = 36/5 = 7.2 days.
