Q:

When one enters a dark room after being in bright light one is not able to see anything clearly for a while because 

A) the retina of the eye moves forward B) the retina of the eye moves backward
C) the iris is unable to dilate the pupil immediately to be able to see things D) the eye has no power of accommodation
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) the iris is unable to dilate the pupil immediately to be able to see things

Explanation:

The size of the pupil of the automatically adjusts itself according to the intensity of light passing through it; if the intensity is more, the size is less, if less, it is more. So in our case the pupil should dilate i.e , increase in size to be able to see in the dark. This switchover takes some time. But here the entry into the dark room is immediate. So the eye has no time to adjust itself and hence is not able to see at all for a while.

Q:

A man stands on the pan of a balance holding a fish in his right hand and bucket of water in his left hand. If he transfers the fish into the bucket, the total weight on the pan 

A) increases B) decreases
C) remains the same D) first increases and then decreases
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) remains the same

Explanation:

Before transferring the fish, the position is the man with the fish and the bucket of water. After transferring the position is: the man without the fish, but the fish inside the water in the bucket. Thus to know  whether there is any change in weight, it is enough to consider whether there is any change in weight when the fish in air is transferred into the water. The answer is there is no change as when in water though it loses weight due to upthrust of water on it, the level of water increases and exerts an equal force at the bottom.So, (c) is correct.

Q:

If the position of the first letter of English alphabet is interchanged with the position of the fourteenth letter, second letter with fifteenth letter, and so on, in such a way that M is interchanged with Z, then which of the following letters will be 7th to the right of 13th letter from the right?

A) U B) G
C) H D) I
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) H

Explanation:

It means that the first half of the alphabet is interchanged with second half of the alphabet. After making changes, nth letter from the left will be (n + 13)th letter of original series, ie English alphabet; If n is less than 14. But if n is more than 13, nth letter from left will be (n - 13)th letter from left.
In the given equation, we have to find out (13 - 7 =) 6th letter from right => (26 - 6 + 1 =) 21st letter from the left. Hence, required letter's position is more than 13; therefore the required letter is (21 - 13 =) 8th letter from left of original series, ie H.

If the first half of the given alphabets are written in reverse order which letter should be 8th letter to the left of 14th letter from the right?

A) E B) G
C) J D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) None of these

Explanation:

8th letter of the left of 14th letter from the right means (8 + 14 =) 22nd letter from the right. 22nd letter from the right means (26 - 22 + 1 =) 5th letter from the left.  We know that 5th letter falls into the first half of the series which is reversed.

Hence, the required letter is (13 - 5 + 1 =) 9th letter from the left of the English alphabet.
