The 11th question is relatively straight forward
They are asking for what we can definitively conclude from the passage..
So we only look for things which have strong evidence..
Statement 1 says sport is a way of life which was directly mentioned so it is correct
Statement 2 says it can help mitigate seclusion among children which is also something clearly implied in the passage, where it.. says "children rarely leave the house and the next line says sport can help tackle..." so this Statement is also correct
Statement 3 is also practically correct because in the beginning of the passage it says..that though getting a job through sports quota is possible but that is not the only desired outcome of sports...and then goes on to list other benefits of playing sports
However we should understand that it certainly is one of the benefits no matter how many more benefits exist..so statement 3 also becomes correct
Statement 4... this is a blatant statement..so even if lets say you can think of one thing for eg. Team work (which is by the way directly mentioned in the passage).
Now team work is a corporate skill that can be learnt through sports.
Which negates the statement so it becomes incorrect.
So answer is D) 1,2 and 3

Now question 12
Statement 1
Nowhere in the passage is there any mention about the encouragement of parents.. so this beyond the scope of the passage so it becomes incorrect
Statement 2 and 3 are both directly mentioned in the passage so they are correct
So option B) 2 and 3 correct

โThe Correct Answer
โDheera Shankarabharanam
Commonly referred to simply as Shankarabharanam, this is the 29th Melakarta raga.
Just like Bilawal, it consists entirely of Shuddha swaras all natural notes without any flat or sharp variations.
โExam Temperament Takeaway is
Questions on classical music scales cannot be derived logically in the exam hall.
They require hard memorization prior to the exam.
This question was classified as a very difficult question by most aspirants.
One of those designed to make us panic so just read the options and be aware.

In Jainism, a soul (Jiva) wanders through the cycle of Samsara across four specific realms until it achieves liberation (Moksha).
โ(a) Deva (gods):
This is the Deva Gati (heavenly realm).
It is one of the four main forms.
โ(c) Manushya (humans):
This is the Manushya Gati (human realm).
It is one of the four main forms, and crucially, the only realm from which liberation can be directly attained.
โ(d) Tiryancha (animals and plants):
This is the Tiryancha Gati (sub-human realm, including animals, plants, and microorganisms).
It is one of the four main forms.
โThe Missing 4th Gati:
For your notes, the actual fourth realm is "Naraki" the hellish beings residing in the hells.

โThe Correct Answer:
โ(b) Yaksha (demi-gods)
โThe Eliminator is that while Yakshas and Yakshinis (like Padmavati or Ambika) are widely worshipped in Jainism as guardian deities (Shasan Devatas).
They do not constitute a separate, fundamental realm of existence.
Technically, Jain cosmology classifies Yakshas under Vyantara Devas (interstitial gods) making them a subclass of the Deva Gati, not a primary category of existence themselves.
โExam Temperament Takeaway is that when dealing with ancient Indian philosophy, focus on enumerations (the 4 Gatis, the 8 Fold Path, the 3 Ratnas).

Goal is to determine if the integer x is even.
โStep 1:
Analyze Statement I alone
โStatement I: x^2y^2 is even.
โIf the square of a product is even, the product itself (xy) must be even.
โFor the product of two integers to be even, at least one of them must be even.
โLet's test this:
โCase 1: x = 2 (even), y = 3 (odd). The product x^2y^2 = 4 ร 9 = 36 (even).
Here, x is even.
โCase 2: x = 3 (odd), y = 2 (even).
The product x^2y^2 = 9 ร 4 = 36 (even).
Here, x is odd.
โSince x could be either even or odd, Statement I alone is not sufficient.
โStep 2:
Analyze Statement II alone
โStatement II: 1 + x^2 + y^2 is odd.
โWe know that 1 is an odd number.
โThe rule for addition is:
Odd + Even = Odd.
โTherefore, for the entire expression (1 + x^2 + y^2) to be odd, the sum of (x^2 + y^2) must be even.
โFor the sum of two squares to be even, they must be either both even or both odd.
โCase 1 (Both Even): x = 2, y = 4.
Then 1 + 4 + 16 = 21 (odd).
Here, x is even.
โCase 2 (Both Odd):
x = 3, y = 5.
Then 1 + 9 + 25 = 35 (odd).
Here, x is odd.
โSince x could be either even or odd, Statement II alone is not sufficient.
โStep 3:
Combine Both Statements
โLet's use the information from both statements together:
โFrom Statement I: At least one number (x or y) is even.
โFrom Statement II: Both numbers must be the same type (either both are even, or both are odd).
โConclusion: If they must both be the same type, AND at least one of them has to be even, then they must both be even.
โBecause we can definitively say that x is even when using both pieces of information together, the question is solved.
โFinal Answer:
โYou should select option (c):
The question can be answered using both the statements together, but cannot be answered using either statement alone.
