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 eye 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 sometime. 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

Q:

The position of the first and sixth letters in the word CONTEXTUAL are interchanged. Similarly, the positions of the second and the seventh letters are interchanged , and so on. Which of the following will be the fourth letter from the right end after the rearrangement?

A) O B) N
C) T D) E
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) O

Explanation:

Given word : CONTEXTUAL

After making changes as per given in the question , the above word becomes as follows:

XTUALCONTE . Hence, 4th letter from the right end is O.

quicker method:

    Total no of letters in the given word = 10.

    4th letter from the right means (10 - 4 + 1 =) 7th letter from the left of the word obtained after rearrangement. Again, read the question , we come to know that, the positions of the second and seventh letters are interchanged. Hence the required letter is the second letter of the given word which is O.
