Real questions that test this

एक अपराधी समाविष्ट असलेल्या पाच संशयितांची पोलिसांनी चौकशी केली. यातील फक्त तीन व्यक्ती नेहमी खरे बोलणाऱ्या असतील तर अपराधी निवडा. अली : देवने अपराध केला. सिन्थिया : इला निरपराढ आहे. इला : बानू खरं बोलतंय. बानू : ती मी नाही. देव : माझ्यावर दोपारोप करताना अली खोटं बोलतोय. Five suspects, one of whom is the guilty party, are being interrogated by the police. Select the culprit if just three of the following always speak truth. Ali : Dev Committed the offence. Cynthia : Ela is innocent. Ela : Banu is telling the truth. Banu : It wasn't me. Dev : Ali is lying when he accuses me.

1)इला / Ela✓ Correct

2)सिन्थिया / Cynthia

3)अली / Ali

4)बानू / Banu

Testing each suspect as the culprit while satisfying the condition that exactly three people speak the truth reveals option 1 (Ela) as the correct culprit.

दिलेली विधाने व त्यापुढची अनुमाने अभ्यासा. दिलेल्या विधानांवर आधारित उचित अनुमानाची निवड करा. Study the statements given below and conclusions that follow these. Select the appropriate conclusion that is based on given statements.

(a)मैदानावर खेळणाऱ्या सर्व हॉकी खेळाडूंनी निळे चिन्ह असलेले टी-शर्ट घातले आहेत. / All hockey players playing on the ground wear T-shirts with blue emblem.

(b)मैदानावर असलेले सर्व खेळाडू हॉकी खेळत नाहीत. / All players who are on the ground don't play hockey.

(c)काही हॉकी खेळाडू निळी टोपी देखील घालतात. / Some hockey players also wear blue caps.

(d)16 वर्षाखालील हॉकी खेळाडू नेहमी टोपी घालतात. / Hockey players who are below 16 years always wear a cap.

1)ज्यांच्या टी-शर्टवर निळे चिन्ह आहे अशा सर्व व्यक्ती हॉकी खेळाडू आहेत. / All persons having blue emblem on their T-shirts are hockey players.

2)निळी टोपी घातलेल्या सर्व व्यक्ती हॉकी खेळाडू आहेत. / All persons wearing blue caps are hockey players.

3)टोपी घातलेले सर्व हॉकी खेळाडू 16 वर्षाखालील आहेत. / All hockey players wearing a cap are below 16 years.

4)वरीलपैकी एकही नाही. / None of the above.✓ Correct

None of the given conclusions logically follow with absolute certainty from the statements provided about hockey players, caps, and ages.

पुढील विधानांचे परीक्षण करा : वरील विधानांच्या आधारे पुढील पर्यायांमधून सर्वात यथार्थ निष्कर्ष निवडा : Examine the following statements : Select the most valid conclusion based on the above statements from the following options :

(a)या खेड्यातील सर्व काँक्रिटची घरे पांढरी रंगवली आहेत. / All concrete houses in this village are painted white.

(b)काही घरांना प्रशस्त द्वारमंडप आहेत. / Some of the houses have spacious porches.

(c)उदारीकरणानंतर बांधलेल्या काँक्रिटच्या घरांना प्रशस्त द्वार मंडप आहे. / Concrete houses that are built after liberalization have spacious porches.

(d)सर्व घरे काँक्रिटची नाहीत. / All houses are not concrete houses.

1)या गावात काही पांढरी काँक्रिटची घरे प्रशस्त द्वारमंडप असलेली आहेत. / There are some white concrete houses with spacious porches in this village.✓ Correct

2)या गावात फक्त काँक्रिटची घरे आहेत. / There are only concrete houses in this village.

3)बहुतेक काँक्रिटची घरे उदारीकरणानंतर बांधलेली आहेस. / Most of the concrete houses are built after liberalization.

4)जी घरे काँक्रिटने बांधलेली नाहीत, त्यांना प्रशस्त द्वारमंडप असू शकत नाहीत. / Houses that are not built with concrete cannot have spacious porches.

From the premises that all concrete houses are white and some concrete houses have spacious porches, it logically follows by intersection that there are some white concrete houses with spacious porches in the village.

जांभूळ व चिकूच्या विविध संमिश्र प्रकारांची एकूण मिळून 48 झाडे जिल्हा परिषदेच्या शाळेतील सर्व 36 विद्यार्थ्यांनी मिळून त्यांच्या परिसरात लावली. प्रत्येक मुलाने जांभळाच्या जातीची तीन आणि दोन मुलींच्या प्रत्येक गटाने मिळून चिक्कूच्या जातीचे एक झाड लावले. वरील माहितीच्या संदर्भात सत्य नसलेले विधान निवडा. (1) या शाळेत मुलांपेक्षा 12 मुले जास्त आहेत. (2) वरील बाबतीत लावलेल्या एकूण झाडांची संख्या जर 49 असेल, तर त्या शाळेतील मुलींची संख्या निश्चितपणे मुलापेक्षा 14ने जास्त असेल. (3) या शाळेत 14 मुले आहेत. (4) वरील बाबतीत लावलेल्या एकूण झाडांची संख्या जर 51 असेल, तर त्या शाळेतील मुलांची संख्या निश्चितपणे 13 असेल. All 36 pupils of the Zilla Parishad School planted in all 48 plants, a mixture of jambhul and chiku varieties, in their locality. Every boy planted three jambhul varieties and the each group of two girls planted one chiku variety between them. Select the statement that is not true with respect to the above information. (1) There are 12 more girls than boys in this school. (2) If the total number of plants planted is 49, then the number of girls in this school is definitely 14, with respect to the above case. (3) There are 14 boys in this school. (4) If the total number of plants planted is 51, then the number of boys in this school is definitely 13, with respect to the above case.

1)या शाळेत मुलांपेक्षा 12 मुली जास्त आहेत. / There are 12 more girls than boys in this school.

2)वरील बाबतीत लावलेल्या एकूण झाडांची संख्या जर 49 असेल, तर त्या शाळेतील मुलींची संख्या निश्चितपणे मुलांपेक्षा 14ने जास्त असेल. / If the total number of plants planted is 49, then the number of girls in this school is definitely 14, with respect to the above case.

3)या शाळेत 14 मुले आहेत. / There are 14 boys in this school.✓ Correct

4)वरील बाबतीत लावलेल्या एकूण झाडांची संख्या जर 51 असेल, तर त्या शाळेतील मुलांची संख्या निश्चितपणे 13 असेल. / If the total number of plants planted is 51, then the number of boys in this school is definitely 13, with respect to the above case.

Let boys be B and girls be G. Total students B + G = 36. Total plants 3B + G/2 = 48. Solving these gives B = 14 and G = 22. Statement (3) claims there are 14 boys, which is true, making it the correct choice for the 'not true' question since options are evaluated.

bacteria into humus. The process involved in the early stages of this transformation depends throughout on oxidation : afterwards it takes place in the absence of air. The process is entirely sanitary. There is no nuisance of any kind - no smell, no flies, no dustbins, no incinerators, no artificial sewage system, no water - borne diseases, no town councils, and no rats. On the contrary, the forest affords a place for the ideal summer holiday with sufficient shade and an abundance of pure fresh air. All over the surface of the woods the conversion of vegetable and animal wastes into humus is never so rapid as during the holiday months - July to September. The mineral matter needed by the trees and the undergrowth is obtained from the subsoil. This is collected in dilute solution in water by the deeper roots, which also help in anchoring the trees. Even in soils markedly deficient in phosphorus, trees have no difficulty in obtaining ample supplies of this element. Potash, phosphate, and other minerals are always collected in situ and carried by the transpiration current for use in the green leaves. Afterwards they are either used in growth or deposited on the floor of the forest in the form of vegetable waste being one of the constituents needed in the synthesis of humus. This humus is again utilized by the roots of the trees. Nature’s farming, as seen in the forest, is characterized by two things, a constant circulation of the mineral matter absorbed by the trees and a constant addition of new mineral matter from the vast reserves held in the subsoil.

खालील विधानांचा विचार करा. Consider the following statements :

(a)वनखते तयार होण्याची प्रक्रिया वायुजीवी व बिनवायुजीवी असते. / Forest manuring is both aerobic and anaerobic.

(b)वन खते प्रक्रिया सतावणारी नसते असे नाही / Forest manuring is not hastle free.

1)दोन्ही विधाने बरोबर / Both are correct

2)दोन्ही विधाने चूक / Both are incorrect

3)(a) बरोबर तर (b) चूक / (a) is correct (b) is not✓ Correct

4)(b) बरोबर तर (a) चूक / (b) is correct (a) is not

Forest manuring involves both aerobic and anaerobic decomposition processes (Statement a is correct). However, saying it is 'not hassle-free' contradicts natural forest nutrient cycles which occur independently without human hassle (Statement b is incorrect).
