F. impeded In the following table, three statements, each containing a blank, are given in column 1. Match the correct filler from Column 2 with the respective statement in Column 1, in which it will fit to make the statement grammatically and meaningfully correct.
Solution
A: here, an adjective that modifies ‘waters’ is correct. ‘Placid’ is an adjective that means ‘having a calm appearance or characteristics’. It is correct here. B: here, a verb is suitable and the verb should be in the past form. The verb ‘impede’, which means ‘to make it more difficult for something to happen’ is correct here. C: here also, a verb is correct. But flocks is grammatically incorrect. Also, ‘impeded’ is incorrect. So, option 3 is correct.
`sqrt(1297)` + 189.99 =?
90.004% of 9500 + 362 = ?
(74.76 ÷ 12.11 X ?)% of 239.89 = 600.19
- What approximate value will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following question? (Note: You are not expected to calculate the exact value.)
1784.04 - 483.98 + 464.98 ÷ 15.06 = ?3
If tan θ + cot θ = 16, then find the value of tan2θ + cot2θ.
480 ÷ 10 + 18 % of 160 + ? * 9 = 60 * √36
(95.89% of 625.15 + 36.36% of 499.89) ÷ 6.02 = ? – 269.72
11.89 × 2.10 × 4.98 × 4.03 ÷ 7.98 of 15.03 = ?
