Correct Answer
A. StoryExplanation
A drama must have a story in order to engage and captivate the audience. The story is the central element that drives the plot and character development. Without a story, there would be no conflict, resolution, or emotional journey for the characters and the audience to experience. The story provides the framework for the actors to portray their roles, the sets to be designed, and the director to bring their vision to life. It is the foundation upon which the entire dramatic production is built.Rate this question:

Cant Determine
Correct Answer
A. KExplanation
K is seated between E and H. This can be determined by analyzing the given information. According to the given information, J is between L and F, and H is second to the left of J. Therefore, the seating arrangement can be represented as L - J - H. Since there are only two people seated on each side of the table, the only possible position for E is opposite to H. Therefore, the seating arrangement can be represented as L - J - H - E. And since K is the only remaining person, it can be concluded that K is seated between E and H.Rate this question:

The given statements state that all men are vertebrates and some mammals are vertebrates. From these statements, we can conclude that some vertebrates are mammals because mammals are a subset of vertebrates. However, we cannot conclude that all men are mammals or that all mammals are men because the statements do not provide enough information to make these conclusions. Therefore, only conclusion (3) follows the right conclusion.Rate this question:

Six girls are sitting in a circle facing to the centre of the circle. They are P, Q, R, S, T and V. T is not between Q and S but some other one. P is next to the left of V. R is 4th to the right of P. Which one is sitting just right to the V?
-
P
-
T
-
R
-
S/Q
Correct Answer
A. TExplanation
Based on the given information, we know that T is not between Q and S, so T cannot be sitting just right to V. P is next to the left of V, so P cannot be sitting just right to V either. R is 4th to the right of P, so R cannot be sitting just right to V. Therefore, the only option left is S/Q, and S/Q must be sitting just right to V.Rate this question:

All the faces of a cube are painted with blue colour. Then it is cut into 125 small equal cubes. How many small cubes will be formed having no face coloured ?
-
27
-
8
-
16
-
24
Correct Answer
A. 27Explanation
When a cube is cut into smaller equal cubes, the number of small cubes formed is equal to the number of divisions made on each side of the cube. In this case, the original cube is divided into 5 smaller cubes on each side, resulting in a total of 5 x 5 x 5 = 125 small cubes. Since all the faces of the original cube were painted blue, the small cubes that are formed by cutting the cube will have no face colored. Therefore, the correct answer is 27.Rate this question:

If M x N means M is the daughter of N; M + N means M is the father of N; M % N means M is the mother of N and M - N means M is the brother of N then P % Q + R - T x K indicates which relation of P to K?
-
Daughter-in-law
-
Sister-in-law
-
Aunt
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. None of theseExplanation
P % Q → P is the mother of Q
Q + R → Q is the father of R
R - T → R is the brother of T
Hence, → Q is the father of T
T x K → T is the daughter of K
Hence, → Q is the husband of K.
Therefore, P is the mother-in-law of K.Rate this question:

A cube is cut in two equal parts along a plane parallel to one of its faces. One piece is then coloured red on the two larger faces and green on the remaining, while the other is coloured green on two smaller adjacent faces and red on the remaining. Each is then cut into 32 cubes of same size and mixed up. What is the number of cubes with at least one green face each ?
-
36
-
32
-
38
-
48
Correct Answer
A. 38Explanation
When the cube is cut into two equal parts along a plane parallel to one of its faces, each part will have the same number of cubes with green faces. One piece is coloured red on the two larger faces and green on the remaining, which means it has 4 cubes with green faces. The other piece is coloured green on two smaller adjacent faces and red on the remaining, which means it also has 4 cubes with green faces. When each piece is cut into 32 cubes of the same size, each piece will have 16 cubes with green faces. Therefore, the total number of cubes with at least one green face is 16 + 16 + 6 = 38.Rate this question:
