If I were you, I ____ that laptop, It’s much too expensive.
(A) won’t buy
(B) shan’t buy
(C) wouldn’t buy
(D) would buy
Ans: (C)
Sol:
In if clause (type2) ‘were’ is in the past tense so the so main clause should be in the conditional
clause (past tense). Therefore ‘C’ is the best answer
02.
He turned a deaf ear to my request.
What does the underlined phrasal verb mean?
(A) ignored
(B) appreciated
(C) twisted
(D) returned
Ans: (A)
Sol:
‘turned a deaf ear’ means ignored

following sentence.
_________ is a will, ______ is a way.
(A) Wear, there, their
(B) Were, their, there
(C) Where, there, there
(D) Where, their, their
Ans: (C)
Sol:
Where there is a will there is a way. It is a quotation

The sum of the digits of a two digit number is 12. If the new number formed by reversing the
digits is greater than the original number by 54, find the original number.
(A) 39
(B) 57
(C) 66
(D) 93
Ans: (A)
Sol:
The new number formed by reversing the digits is greater than the original number is possible in
options A and B only.
Options ‘A’:
Sum of two digits in the number = 3 + 9 = 12
After reversing the two digits number = 93
The difference between the new number formed and original number = 93 – 39 = 54
 option ‘A’ is correct.
Option ‘B’:
original number = 57
After reversing, the number is formed = 75
The difference between these two numbers = 75 – 57 = 18
 It is not.


diffusivity (in m2/s) of the plate materials and C1 is a constant independent of process parameters
and material types. Two welding cases are given below.
Case I: V = 15 V, I = 200 A, v = 5 mm/s, k = 150 W/mK,  = 3000 kg/m3, C = 900 J/kg-K

An ideal gas of mass m is contained in a rigid tank of volume V at a pressure P. During a
reversible process its pressure reduces to P1 . Following statements are made regarding the
process.
(P) Heat is transferred from the gas.
(Q) Work done by the gas is zero.
(R) Entropy of the gas remains constant.
(S) Entropy of the gas decreases.
Among the above statements, the correct ones are
(A) P and R only
(B) P, Q and R only (C) Q and R only
(D) P, Q and S only
Ans: (D)
Sol:
At constant volume to decrease pressure, temperature has to be decreased. So heat has to be
transferred from the gas.
As the change in volume is zero, work done by the gas is zero. Entropy of the gas decrease as
system is losing heat.
