Question 1

Sandeep is knitting a 25 cm wide two meter long scarf. It takes him 30 rows of 22 stitches each to knit a 10cm x 10cm trial (“tension square”).
How many stitches will he need for each 25cm row in the scarf?

Accepted Answer

55 stitches

Answer

The tension square provides the ratio of stitches to length: 22 stitches for 10 cm. To find out how many stitches are needed for a 25 cm row, we can set up a proportion. If 10 cm requires 22 stitches, then 1 cm requires 22/10 = 2.2 stitches. Therefore, for 25 cm, Sandeep will need 2.2 stitches/cm * 25 cm = 55 stitches.

Question 2

Which image completes the pattern?

Accepted Answer

A

Answer

This is a visual pattern recognition question. Without the images, the explanation relies on common pattern types. The correct image 'A' would complete the sequence by following a specific rule, such as rotation, addition/subtraction of elements, or a change in color/shape, consistently applied across the preceding images in the pattern.

Question 3

Which image continues the top sequence?

Accepted Answer

C

Answer

This is a visual pattern recognition question. Without the images, the explanation relies on common pattern types. The correct image 'C' would continue the sequence by adhering to a consistent logical progression, such as a specific movement, transformation, or alteration of elements from one image to the next.

Question 4

Which image continues the sequence?

Accepted Answer

A

Answer

This is a visual pattern recognition question. Without the images, the explanation relies on common pattern types. The correct image 'A' would logically follow the established pattern by demonstrating the next step in a sequence of changes, such as a specific rotation, reflection, or incremental modification of the visual elements.

Question 5

What is the next number in the series

1, 4, 9, 16, ?

Accepted Answer

25

Answer

This number series consists of perfect squares: 1 is 1 squared (1^2), 4 is 2 squared (2^2), 9 is 3 squared (3^2), and 16 is 4 squared (4^2). Following this pattern, the next number in the series will be 5 squared. Therefore, 5 * 5 equals 25.
