Answer

Clarifications
Since 6 boys and 6 girls can be sit in a row in factorial of (6 + 6) i.e. 12! distinct ways.
Number of ways that all girls to sit together, i.e. treating girls as a single unit i.e. total
6(boys) + 1 (single group of girls) i.e. 7!, group of girls may change position with in
group in 6! ways.
7! x6!
1
Therefore probability that girls can sit together =
=
12!
132
So, Correct answer is A
In the figure below OA = r (radius of circle),
AC = 2r (diameter of circle)
Let AB = x
AC2 = AB2 + BC2 (Property of right angled triangle)
Since ABCD is a square (AB = BC = DC = AD)
AC2 = x2 + x2, AC2 = 2x2,
(2r)2 = 2x2, 4r2 = 2 x2, x2 = 2r2, x= r 2
r
AE =

So, correct answer is A

Given Cos - Sin =

23

2Sin

Squaring (Cos - Sin)2 = ( 2Sin )2

Cos2 + Sin2 - 2Cos.Sin = 2 Sin2
1 - 2Cos.Sin = 2 Sin2
1 = 2Sin(Sin + Cos)
1
Co sec
Sin + Cos =
=
2Sin
2
So, correct answer is D
Ratio of volume of a cube to that of a sphere which will fit inside the spere, cube which
will fit inside sphere (sphere cannot be fit inside sphere)
Let side of cube be a, and radius of the sphere be r
Diagonal of the cube is equal to diametre of the sphere

Diagonal of cube of side a = a 3

Diametre of the sphere of radius r = 2r

37

a 3 = 2r

a=

Volume of cube of side a = a3

When challenges are there, they shold be faced and resolved. To resolve challenges
we need reforms. These reforms are called democratic reforms.

51

65

Political reform should empower people to carry out democratic reforms. The Right to
Information Act is a good example of law that empowers people to find out what is
happening in government and and act as watchdogs of democracy.
Hence, Correct answer is A
We can have the variation in pitch (frequency) which in turn causes the variation in
wavelength (as V = ). Also loudness can vary and hence amplitude. Wave velocity is
p
the property of medium, it changes only when medium is change as V =
. Hence

wave velocity remains constant in a given medium.

Hence, answer D is the correct answer.

B
A
