is the correct option.
Þ A100 = 2100 -1 A \ A 100 = 299A 127. (a) Consolation means ‘comfort received by a
person after a loss or disappointment’, so
p q-y r-z comfort is correct option.
123. (c) p-x q r-z =0 128. (b) Auxiliary means ‘providing additional help’,
p-x q-y r so supplemental is correct option.
129. (b) Auspici ous mean s ‘favourable’, so
Apply R1 ® R1 – R3 and R2 ® R2 – R3, we get
‘unfavourable’ is best opposite word for

for it.
Þ x[ yr + z(q - y)] - z[0 - y(p - x)] = 0 131. (c) Impede means ‘hinder’ or ‘obstruct’, so
[Expansion along first row] ‘push’ is correct opposite word for it.
132. (b) Here a sense of command is depicted in

Þ xyr + zxq + yzp = 2xyz Þ + + =2 sentence, so we should use ‘ordered’ for

Let P º t12 , 2t1 and Q º t 22 , 2t 2 ( ) those sentence which contain ‘did’, so
option (c) is correct.

135. (d) Afraid agrees with preposition ‘of’, so

Since OP ^ OQ, \ = -1 or t 1t 2 = -4 ...(2) 136. (c) Normally, company signs a contract or deal,
t1 t 2
so use of ‘deal’ is proper here.
Let R (h, k) be the middle point of PQ, then
137. (c) The question gives a sense of query about Field
normal routine of some special/specific day, 145. (b)

Coal mines

9 × 4 × 2 × 10 = 720 Both coal mines and factories are located
in the fields.
Similarly, 6 × 20 × 1 × 6 = 720 146. (c) From the given series,

Hence, 59 = 7 × 8 + 3 = 56 + 3 Therefore, 64 will come in place of questions

147. (c) Interchanging the symbols as given in the

above question, the above equation
