    If the series S=1+ 1/(1+2) + 1/(1+2+3) + 1/(1+2+3+4) + ......., then sum of its infinite terms is:

    1. A1/2
    2. B1
    3. C3/2
    4. D2
    Answer (D)

    The nth term is 1/(1+2+...+n) = 2/(n(n+1)) = 2(1/n − 1/(n+1)). This telescopes to S = 2(1 − 0) = 2.

    Some girls are standing in a queue. If Kavita who is 11th from the left end and Babita who is 9th from the right end interchange their positions, Kavita becomes 15th from the left end. How many girls are there in the queue?

    1. A21
    2. B23
    3. C25
    4. D27
    Answer (B)

    After swap Kavita takes Babita's position; Kavita is now 15th from left, so Babita's old position was 15th from left. Babita was 9th from right, so total = 15 + 9 - 1 = 23.

    Two numbers are in ratio of 21:26. If 8 is added to each number, then new numbers are in ratio of 5:6. Find the ratio of numbers, if 2 is subtracted from each number.

    1. A2:3
    2. B1:4
    3. C4:5
    4. D18:25
    Answer (C)

    Let numbers be 21x, 26x. (21x+8)/(26x+8)=5/6 ⇒ 126x+48=130x+40 ⇒ x=2, so numbers are 42 and 52. After subtracting 2: 40:50 = 4:5.

    The angles of elevation of the top of a tower from two points A and B at distance p and q respectively, from the base of tower and in the same straight line with it are complimentary. The height of the tower is:

    1. Ap.q
    2. B√p.q
    3. C(pq)³
    4. Dp√q
    Answer (B)

    With complementary elevation angles θ and 90-θ from distances p and q, tanθ = h/p and tanθ = q/h, so h² = pq, giving height h = √(pq).

    A ray of light is incident on a plane mirror normal to its surface. The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection are

    1. A90°, 90° respectively
    2. B90°, 0° respectively
    3. C0°, 90° respectively
    4. D0°, 0° respectively
    Answer (D)

    Normal incidence means the ray travels along the normal, so the angle of incidence measured from the normal is 0°, and by the law of reflection the angle of reflection is also 0°, making D correct.

    Two identical prisms P₁ and P2 are placed as shown in the figure. A narrow beam of white light is incident on glass prism P₁ as shown in the figure. The emergent beam from the prism P₁ falls on the second prism P2. The resulting emergent beam from prism P2 on the screen contains:

    1. ASpectrum of light as VIBGYOR form top to bottom on the screen
    2. BSpectrum of light as VIBGYOR form bottom to top on the screen
    3. CBeam of white light on the screen
    4. DNo light is obtained on the screen
    Answer (C)

    P₁ disperses white light into VIBGYOR; the inverted identical prism P₂ recombines the dispersed colours, so a beam of white light emerges on the screen (recombination of spectrum).
