Read the following information about these sets which are not in any particular order : (a) Cups are blue, white and yellow in colour. (b) Saucers are red, pink and white in colour. (c) No set is unicoloured. (d) Cup of the set O is not yellow in colour. (e) Cup of the set P is not blue in colour. (f) Cup of the set Q is not white in colour. (g) Saucer of the set Q is not red in colour. (h) Saucer of the set O is white in colour. What are the colours of saucer and cup respectively of set P ?

a)पांढरा व लाल / White and red
b)पिवळा व गुलाबी / Yellow and pink
c)लाल व पांढरा / Red and white✓ Correct
d)गुलाबी व पिवळा / Pink and yellow

By systematically applying the given conditions regarding cup and saucer colours where no set is unicoloured, we deduce the properties of each set step by step. Set P has a red saucer and a white cup.

खालील श्रेणीमध्ये कोणत्या संख्या प्रश्न चिन्हांच्या जागी येतील ? 69, 53, 76, 46, 83, ?, ?, 32, 97. In the following series, which numbers will replace the question marks ? 69, 53, 76, 46, 83, ?, ?, 32, 97.

1)90, 39
2)39, 90✓ Correct
3)37, 93
4)39, 88

This is an alternate series or double series. Sequence 1: 69, 76, 83, ?, 97 (+7 pattern). So 83 + 7 = 90. Sequence 2: 53, 46, ?, 32 (-7 pattern). So 46 - 7 = 39. Thus missing numbers are 39, 90.

This is a figure-completion question: the dots on the tiles follow a pattern across the rows and columns, and the missing tile must continue it. MPSC's official answer key gives option (1) as the tile that completes the arrangement.
