84. If one of the angles of a right-angled triangle is 35°, then which of the following represents an angle of the triangle?

(A) 40°

(B) 45°

(C) 50°

(D) 55°

Answer:- (D) 55°

Solution:- 

In a right-angled triangle, the sum of the angles is always 180°. Since one of the angles is 90° (the right angle), the remaining two angles must add up to 90°.

So, the third angle would be: 180° – 90° – 35° = 55°

So, the correct answer is (D) 55°

85. The angle traversed by the hour hand of a clock during a period of 2 hours is

(A) 30°

(B) 45°

(C) 60°

Solution:- 

The hour hand of a clock completes a full circle (360 degrees) in 12 hours.

So, in 1 hour, it moves 360°/12 = 30°

Therefore, in 2 hours, it moves 30° $$\times$$ 2 = 60°

The correct answer is (C) 60°

(B) Only conclusion 2 follows

(C) Either conclusion 1 or conclusion 2 follows

(D) Neither conclusion 1 nor conclusion 2 follows

Answer:- (B) Only conclusion 2 follows

Solution:- 

To analyze the statements and conclusions, let’s break them down:

Statements:

1. All windows are floors.
2. No floor is tall.

Conclusions:

1. Some windows are tall.
2. No tall is floor.

Analysis:

• From the first statement, All windows are floors, it indicates that every window is included in the category of floors.
• The second statement, No floor is tall, tells us that floors cannot be tall.

Evaluating the Conclusions:

Some windows are tall: This conclusion cannot be true because if all windows are floors and no floor is tall, then it follows that no windows can be tall. So. this conclusion does not follow.

No tall is floor: This conclusion is directly supported by the second statement. Since no floor is tall, it implies that tall things cannot be floors. So, this conclusion follows.

Therefore, conclusion 1 is false and conclusion 2 is true.

So, the correct answer is (B) Only conclusion 2 follows.

125. What would replace ‘??’ in the following grid?

(A) O6

(B) P7

(C) R7

(D) Q6

Answer:- (B) P7

Solution:- 

To determine the missing element “??” in the grid, let’s analyze both the letters and the numbers in each position.

Letters Pattern:

• The letters appear to increase alphabetically by a step of 3 in each row.
  • Row 1: C, F, I (C + 3 = F, F + 3 = I)
  • Row 3: R, U, X (R + 3 = U, U + 3 = X)

From this pattern, the missing letter in Row 2 should be P (since M + 3 = P).

Numbers Pattern:

• The numbers in each row are increased by 2.
  • Row 1: 6, 8, 10
  • Row 3: 7, 9, 11

The missing number in Row 2 should be 7 (to maintain a consistent increase of 2 in each row).

Therefore, the missing element “??” is P7.

So, the answer is Option(B) P7
