Correct Choice : C) Sinhalese

Solutions : Dheepan, the film which won the Palme d’Or at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival is a Sinhalese film.

Dheepan is a 2015 French crime drama film directed by Jacques Audiard and co-written by Audiard, Thomas Bidegain, and Noé Debré. The film was partly inspired by Montesquieu’s Persian Letters, as well as the 1971 film Straw Dogs, with guidance from Antonythasan Jesuthasan, who stars as the title character.

The film tells the story of three Tamil refugees who flee the civil war-ravaged Sri Lanka and come to France, in the hope of reconstructing their lives. The film won the Palme d’Or at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. It was later shown in the Special Presentations section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival.

Correct Choice : C) Les Femmes d’Alger

Solutions : Les Femmes d’Alger (English: Women of Algiers) is a series of 15 paintings and numerous drawings by the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso. The series, created in 1954–1955, was inspired by Eugène Delacroix’s 1834 painting The Women of Algiers in their Apartment (French: Femmes d’Alger dans leur appartement). The series is one of several painted by Picasso in tribute to artists that he admired.

Picasso painted The Women of Algiers (Version ‘O’) in 1955 and was sold for $179.3 million at Christie’s auction in 2015. This painting held the world record for the highest ever price paid at an auction until it Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi. For Picasso’s work, the bidders, at the time fought via telephone with reportedly no competitors in the room. As per Art News report, Jussi Pylkkanen, the auctioneer, declared when the bidding had reached $140 million, “Still many people in the game.”

Correct Choice : C) Stan Wawrinka

Solutions : Stan Wawrinka defeated Novak Djokovic in the final, 4–6, 6–4, 6–3, 6–4, to win the Men’s Singles tennis title at the 2015 French Open. It was Wawrinka’s second major title. As he did when he won the 2014 Australian Open, Wawrinka defeated the world No. 1 and world No. 2 on his way to the title. Djokovic was attempting to complete the career Grand Slam.

Rafael Nadal was the five-time defending champion, but he was defeated by Djokovic in the quarterfinals. This was just Nadal’s second career defeat at the French Open (the previous one being in 2009 to Robin Söderling) and ended his record win streak at the tournament of 39 matches. Nadal had won all six of his prior matches against Djokovic at the French Open. Nadal fell to world No. 10 in rankings after the loss, his lowest since April 18, 2005.

2009 champion Roger Federer was attempting to become the first male player in the Open Era to achieve a double career Grand Slam, but he was defeated by Wawrinka in the quarterfinals.

Correct Choice : A) 6 – Odia

Solutions : There are six languages in India Tamil, Telugu, Sanskrit, Kannada, Malayalam, and Odia have been given the status of classical language. The first language to be given with that status was Tamil. Tamil (declared in 2004), Sanskrit (2005), Kannada (2008), Telugu (2008), Malayalam (2013), and Odia (2014).All the Classical Languages are listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution.The Ministry of Culture provides the guidelines regarding Classical languages.

Guidelines for declaring a language as ‘Classical’ are:

High antiquity of its early texts/recorded history over a period of 1500-2000 years;
A body of ancient literature/texts, which is considered a valuable heritage by generations of speakers;
The literary tradition be original and not borrowed from another speech community;
The classical language and literature being distinct from modern, there may also be a discontinuity between the classical language and its later forms or its offshoots.

Correct Choice : B) 1/6

Solutions : Let the volume of liquid isA.

Then, A/3 liquid evaporates on first day.

Remaining liquid on first day

=A − A/3 = 2A/3

3 × 2A/4 × 3 liquid evaporates on second day.

Remaining liquid on second day

= 2A/3 −A/2

= (4A – 3A) / 6

=A/6

Therefore,

1/6 th fraction of the volume is present at the end of the second day.

Hence, this is the answer.

Correct Choice : B) 36

Solutions : 57 × X = ( X + 2016 )

57X – X = 2016

56 X = 2016

Therefore X = 2016/56

X = 36

Correct Choice : A) Rs. 16

Solutions : The amount that the person has is constant.

Reduced price of 5 kg 10% of Rs 800.

Reduced price per kg

⟹ 80% of original price = Rs.16

∴ Original price per kg =100/80×16= Rs. 20

Therefore Reduced price = Rs. 16

Correct Choice : C) 17%

Solutions : Remember that the percent change formula is (difference/original) x 100 and that in a percent increase, the original value will be the smaller of the two numbers.

234 – 200 = 34 is the difference.

Divide that value by the smaller of the two values 200. 34 ÷ 200 = .17.

Multiply .17 by 100 to find that the percent increase is 17%.

Correct Choice : D) 44

Solutions : Average of 15 numbers = 205
So total sum of all 15 numbers = 15×205 = 3075.

Now,average of first 7 numbers = 185
It means total sum of first numbers = 7×185 = 1295

So it means total sum of remaining 7 numbers = 3075 – 1295 = 1780

Now,according to the question,
Average of last 7 numbers = 248

So total sum of last 7 numbers = 7×248 = 1736
But sum of last 7 numbers = 1780
So the middle number = 1780 – 1736

●=> Middle number = 44

Correct Choice : B) Rs. 48

Solutions : From Question, X + Y =59 ………..(1)

From Question , X + 2Y = 96 …………..(2)

Solving Equation (2) & (1)

By Subtracting them , We get

Y = 37

Substitute the value of Y in Equation (1)

We get X = 22

Finally , (1/2)X + Y = ? ………….(3)

Sustituting the value of X and Y in Equation (3) , We get

22/2 + 37 = 48

Therefore 48 is the correct answer

Correct Choice : C) Rs. 1,40,000

Solutions :

Area of the square plot

= 1hector ( given )

a² = 10000 m²

=> a² = ( 100 m )²

=> a = 100m

Now ,

Perimeter of the square = 4a

= 4 × 100m

= 400 m

It is given that ,

Rate of fencing 1m = Rs350

Rate of fencing 400m

= 400 × 350

= Rs 140000

Correct Choice : A) 2, 19, 29, 37 and 83

Solutions : 2, 19, 29, 37 and 83 are the prime numbers

Correct Choice : D) 8

Solutions : Total members = 20 members

The ratio given is 3:2

The ratio refers the number of men to the number of women in the committee.

So,
Let the number of men in the committee be 3x
So,
As per the given ratio
The number of women in the committee will be equal to 2x

Now ,
The total members will be equal to the sum of the male members and the female members in the committee.
So,

According to question :-

3x + 2x = 20
Or,
5x = 20
Or,
x = 20 / 5 = 4

Now,
Women were equal to 2x in the committee.
Putting down the values of x in this :-
So,

Number of women will be
2x = 2*4 = 8

So,
There were 8 women in the committee.

Correct Choice : B) 5 km .

Solutions :

Correct Choice : C) 5%

Solutions : Sum after 2 years

Sum after 3 years

Interest for onr year

C.I for 1 year = S.I for 1 year

Let the sum

Amount Time 2 years, %

Therefore rate of interest = 5 %

Correct Choice : B) 72 kmph

Solutions : Average Speed = Distance / Average Time

Therefore Time from A to B = 540/90 = 6 hrs

Therefore Time from B to A = 540/60 = 9 hrs

Average Time = (6 + 9) / 2 = 7.5

Therefore Average Speed = 540 / 7.5 = 72 kmph

Correct Choice : D) 14

Solutions : Arithmetic means = Sum of all observations/total number of observations

Arithmetic Mean, 8 = (5+ 6 + 7 + w)/4

8*4 = (5+ 6 + 7 + w)

5+ 6 + 7 + w = 32

18 + w = 32

w = 32 – 18 = 14 ——> Answer

Correct Choice : C) Rs. 630

Solutions : Rs. 630 is the smallest part

Correct Choice : A) 8/9

Solutions : Step-by-step explanation: To compare these fractions, notice that the fractions have different denominators. When fractions have different denominators or bottom numbers, they’re called unlike fractions.

To compare unlike fractions, we must first get a common denominator. The common denominator of 4, 8, 10, and 9 will be the least common multiple of 4, 8, 10, and 9 which is 360.

To get a 360 in the denominator of 3/4, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 90 and we get 270/360.

To get a 360 in the denominator of 7/8, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 45 and we get 315/360.

To get a 360 in the denominator of 7/10, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 36 and we get 252/360.

To get a 360 in the denominator of 8/9, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 40 and we get 320/360.

Now, we simply look for the fraction with the greatest numerator.

Since 315 has the greatest numerator out of all of these fractions, this means that 315/360 is the greatest fraction.

Correct Choice : D) 2500

Solutions : 2500 is the correct answer

Correct Choice : A) 4060

Solutions : Given a series (45+46+47+………+100)

We need to find the sum of the given series

The given series is in arithmetic progression

So the sum of the series in arithmetic progression is given by

Sum=n/2(a + an) ——————-(i)

Where

n is number of terms

a is the first term

an is the last term of the series

We need to find the value of n, the number of terms first

We know that

an = a+(n-1)d ——————–(ii)

From the series an = 100, a= 45

Substituting the value of an= 115 and a = 45 in equation (ii) we get,

100 = 45 + (n – 1)1

100 = 45 + n – 1

100 = 44 + n

n = 100 – 44

n = 56

Substituting the value n = 56 in equation (i) we get,

Sum = n/2 (a + an)

= 56/2 (45 + 100)

= 56/2 × 145

= 56 × 72.5

= 4060

Therefore the sum of the series (45+46+47+………+113+114+115) = 4060

Correct Choice : B) 130

Solutions : (1/5) × X = 12 × 13

Therefore the value of X = 12 × 13 × 5

X = 780

(1/6) of 780 = 780/6 = 130

Therefore 130 is the correct answer

Correct Choice : C) 16

Solutions : Let Age of Sita = x

Let Age of Ram = 2x

Before 6 years,

Age of Sita = x – 6

Age of Ram = 2x – 6

From Question,

5 (x – 6) = (2x – 6)

5x – 30 = 2x – 6

3x = 24

Therefore, x = 8

Age of Sita = 8

Age of Ram = 8 × 2 = 16

Correct Choice : D).90

Solutions : The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5

let the sides of triangle is 3x ,4x and 5x
