Answer key and explanations
Q1 — B, 9. The ratio contains 3 + 5 = 8 equal parts. Each part represents 24 ÷ 8 = 3 students. The online group contains three parts, so 3 × 3 = 9 students. Check: the classroom group has 15 and the total is 24.
Q2 — C, 13. Three numbers with an average of 11 have a total of 33. The known numbers sum to 20, leaving x = 33 − 20 = 13. Verify by calculating (8 + 12 + 13) ÷ 3 = 11.
Q3 — A, has. The subject is “each”, which takes a singular verb here. “Of the students” describes the group but does not turn the subject into a plural one. “Has a notebook” also completes the meaning of the sentence.
Q4 — C. Rina’s new method showed which ideas she understood and which required review. A overgeneralises from her experience; B contradicts her continued revision; D claims perfect recall without evidence. Choose the answer supported by the passage, not a broad opinion about study techniques.
Q5 — B, Bina. Combine the conditions into one order: Arun, Bina, Chitra, Deepa. Bina must be second. Check all three conditions against that arrangement instead of stopping after reading only the first pair.
Q6 — D, 5 metres. East and north are perpendicular, forming a right triangle. The direct distance is √(3² + 4²) = √25 = 5. The walked route is 7 metres, but the question asks for straight-line distance.
Q7 — A, Nepal Rastra Bank. NRB describes its central-banking role on its official introduction page. Connect an institution to its function when revising General Awareness. Nepal Rastra Bank
Q8 — C. UNESCO lists Lumbini as the birthplace of the Lord Buddha. Its description supports this historical association; the other options concern unrelated places or institutions. UNESCO: Lumbini
What should you study next?
Group your mistakes by cause. For Quantitative Ability, check whether you chose the right base or equation. For Verbal Ability, find the grammatical subject or the passage evidence. For Logical Reasoning, write conditions or draw a diagram. For General Awareness, open the original source and add a dated note.
A score from eight introductory questions is too small to establish overall readiness. Use it to choose your next lesson. Even after a correct answer, explain your method and try a fresh example to check understanding.
