Which one of the following matrices has an inverse?
A surveyor has to measure the horizontal distance from her position to a distant reference point \(C\). Using her position as the center, a 200 m horizontal line segment is drawn with the two endpoints \(A\) and \(B\). Points \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) are not collinear. Each of the angles \(\angle CAB\) and \(\angle CBA\) are measured as \(87.8^\circ\). The distance (in m) of the reference point \(C\) from her position is nearest to:
The chart below shows the data of the number of cars bought by Millennials and Gen X people in a country from the year 2010 to 2020 as well as the yearly fuel consumption of the country (in Million liters). Considering the data presented in the chart, which one of the following options is true?

The assembly shown below has three teethed circular objects (Pinions) and two teethed flat objects (Racks), which are perfectly mating with each other. Pinions can only rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise staying at its own center. Racks can translate towards the left (\(\leftarrow\)) or the right (\(\rightarrow\)) direction. If the object \(A\) (Rack) is translating towards the right (\(\rightarrow\)) direction, the correct statement among the following is:

The decimal number system uses the characters \(0, 1, 2, ..., 8, 9,\) and the octal number system uses the characters \(0, 1, 2, ..., 6, 7.\) For example, the decimal number \(12 (= 1 \times 10^1 + 2 \times 10^0)\) is expressed as \(14 (= 1 \times 8^1 + 4 \times 8^0)\) in the octal number system. The decimal number 108 in the octal number system is:
A shopkeeper buys shirts from a producer and sells them at 20\% profit. A customer has to pays Rs. 3186 including 18\% taxes per shirt. At what price did the shopkeeper buy each shirt?
If, for non-zero real variables \(x, y\) and a real parameter \(a>1\), \(x : y = (a+1) : (a-1)\). Then, the ratio \((x^2 - y^2) : (x^2 + y^2)\) is:
\(P\) and \(Q\) have been allotted a hostel room with two beds, a study table, and an almirah. \(P\) is an avid birdwatcher and wants to sit at the table and watch birds outside the window. \(Q\) prefers a bed close to the ceiling fan. Which one of the following arrangements suits them the most?
If ‘→’ denotes increasing order of intensity, then the meaning of the words [talk → shout → scream] is analogous to [please → \_\_\_\_\_ → pander]. Which one of the given options is appropriate to fill the blank?
Let \(P\) be the partial order defined on the set \(\{1, 2, 3, 4\}\) as follows: \[ P = \{(x, x) \mid x \in \{1, 2, 3, 4\}\} \cup \{(1, 2), (3, 2), (3, 4)\} \] The number of total orders on \(\{1, 2, 3, 4\}\) that contain \(P\) is ...........\_\_\_.

Let \(p\) and \(q\) be the following propositions:
\(p\): Fail grade can be given.
\(q\): Student scores more than \(50\%\) marks. Consider the statement: “Fail grade cannot be given when student scores more than \(50\%\) marks.”
Which one of the following is the CORRECT representation of the above statement in propositional logic?
In the \(4 \times 4\) array shown below, each cell of the first three rows has either a cross (X) or a number. \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline 1 & X & 4 & 3
\hline X & 5 & 5 & 4
\hline 3 & X & 6 & X
\hline ? & ? & ? & ?
\hline \end{array} \] The number in a cell represents the count of the immediate neighboring cells (left, right, top, bottom, diagonals) NOT having a cross (X). Given that the last row has no crosses (X), the sum of the four numbers to be filled in the last row is:
