Explanation: The Q&A section at the end of the text identifies the answer: "Who was the first Chief Minister of Cochin under the Dyarchy system introduced in 1938? Ambat Sivarama Menon." Panampilli Govinda Menon is mentioned in the main text as becoming the first popular Minister, but the Q&A provides the specific answer for the first Chief Minister under Dyarchy. Given the Q&A is part of the data, this is the most precise answer.

A, B-യിൽ നിന്ന് ഒരു തുക കടം വാങ്ങുകയും 2 വർഷത്തിന് ശേഷം അതിന്റെ മൂന്നിൽ രണ്ട് തുക പലിശയായി തിരികെ നൽകാമെന്ന് വാഗ്ദാനം ചെയ്യുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു. C, B-യിൽ നിന്ന് 1000 രൂപ കടം വാങ്ങുകയും 2 വർഷത്തിന് ശേഷം 25% പലിശ സഹിതം അത് തിരികെ നൽകുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു. A, C എന്നിവ ഒരേ തുക അടച്ചാൽ , A എത്ര കടം വാങ്ങി?
500
750
900
1000
Explanation: A, B യിൽ നിന്ന് 𝑥 രൂപ കടമെടുത്താൽ ;
തിരികെ നൽകേണ്ട പലിശ = 2𝑥3
A = 𝑥+2𝑥3 നൽകേണ്ട ആകെ തുക
C കടമെടുക്കുന്ന തുക = 1000
നൽകേണ്ട പലിശ = 1000 ന്റെ 25% = 250 1 വർഷത്തേക്ക്
C = 1000 + 250 + 250 = 1500 അടയ്ക്കേണ്ട മൊത്തം തുക
അതായത്,𝑥+2𝑥3 = 1500
3𝑥+2𝑥3 = 1500
5𝑥 = 1500 ×3
𝑥 = 900
∴ എ 900 രൂപ കടം വാങ്ങുന്നു.

A,B,C യഥാക്രമം 16,11, 21 തീയതികളിൽ നവംബറിൽ ഒരു കമ്പനിയിൽ ചേർന്നു. മാസാവസാനം, A-ക്ക് 27000 രൂപ ലഭിച്ചു, ഇത് Bക്ക് ലഭിച്ചതിന്റെ 20% കൂടുതലും C യിനേക്കാൾ 10% കുറവുമാണ്. അപ്പോൾ താഴെ പറയുന്നവയിൽ ഏതാണ് യഥാക്രമം B യുടെയും C യുടെയും പ്രതിമാസ ശമ്പളം?
22500,30000
33750,54000
90000,54000
33750,90000
Explanation: A യുടെ ശമ്പളം = 27000
B യുടെ ശമ്പളം \(\times\frac{120}{100}\) = 27000
B യുടെ ശമ്പളം = \(\frac{27000\times100}{120}\) = 22,500.
C യുടെ ശമ്പളം \(\times\frac{90}{100}\) = 27000
C യുടെ ശമ്പളം = \(\frac{27000\times 100}{90}\) = 30,000

4 സെന്റീമീറ്റർ നീളമുള്ള 8 ലൈൻ സെഗ്മെന്റുകൾ ഒരേസമയം ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്ന ചതുരങ്ങളുടെ പരമാവധി എണ്ണം എത്ര?
9
7
16
4
Explanation: വരികളുടെ എണ്ണം = നിരകളുടെ എണ്ണം = 3
ചതുരങ്ങളുടെ ആകെ എണ്ണം = 3×3+2×2+1×1 = 9 + 4 + 1 = 14
ഇവിടെ നമ്മൾ ഒരേസമയം ചതുരങ്ങളുടെ പരമാവധി എണ്ണം കണ്ടെത്തണം.
ചതുരങ്ങളുടെ പരമാവധി എണ്ണം = 9

A monkey tries to climb up a 50 m high pole.It jumps up 1.25 m every second,but slides down by 0.5 m next second.In how many seconds it will reach top?
131
132
133
134
Explanation: Monkey jumps up 1.25 m every second,but slides down by 0.5 m next second.In how many seconds.
So in 2 seconds monkey climbs up 0.75 m and in 1 second it will climb up 0.375 m.
Total distance to be covered = 50 - 1.25 = 48.75 m
Time taken to cover 48.75 m = \(\frac{48.75}{0.375}\) = 130
To reach 50m, one more jumb is needed.So there needs a total time of 130+1 = 131 s.

35 വയസ്സുള്ള Mr.X, 1980 ജനുവരിയിൽ ഒരു തിങ്കളാഴ്ചയാണ് ജനിച്ചത്. അദ്ദേഹത്തിന് ഒരു മകനും മകളുമുണ്ട്, മകൻ ആണ് മൂത്ത കുട്ടി. X ന്റെ കുട്ടികളുടെ പ്രായത്തിന്റെ ആകെത്തുക 8 ആണ്. X-ന്റെ ജന്മദിനത്തിലാണ് മകൻ ജനിച്ചത്. എങ്കിൽ ഇനിപ്പറയുന്നവയിൽ മകന്റെ ജന്മവർഷം ആകാൻ സാധ്യത ഇല്ലാത്ത വർഷം ഏത് ?
2007
2008
2010
2009
Explanation: X-ന്റെ പ്രായം = 35
2015 (1980+35)എന്ന വർഷത്തെ അടിസ്ഥാനമാക്കിനൽകിയിരിക്കുന്നത്.
X ന് ഒരു മകനും മകളുമുണ്ട്, അവിടെ മകൻ മൂത്തതും അവരുടെ പ്രായത്തിന്റെ ആകെത്തുക 8 ആണ്. അതിനാൽ അവരുടെ പ്രായത്തിന് 3 സാധ്യതകളുണ്ട്.
മകന്റെ വയസ്സ് 7 ഉം മകൾക്ക് 1 ഉം ആണെങ്കിൽ, മകൻ ജനിച്ച വർഷം = 2008
മകന്റെ പ്രായം 6 ഉം മകൾക്ക് 2 ഉം ആണെങ്കിൽ, മകൻ ജനിച്ച വർഷം = 2009
മകന്റെ പ്രായം 5 ഉം മകൾക്ക് 3 ഉം ആണെങ്കിൽ, മകൻ ജനിച്ച വർഷം = 2010.
അതായത്, 2008, 2009, 2010 എന്നിവ ഉത്തരം ആകാം.

ബോബി, അർജുൻ, ഹബീബ് എന്നിവർക്ക് യഥാക്രമം 27, 30, 36 ദിവസങ്ങൾ കൊണ്ട് സ്വന്തമായി പൂർത്തിയാക്കാൻ കഴിയുന്ന ഒരു ജോലി 20 ദിവസം കൊണ്ട് പൂർത്തിയാക്കാൻ രാജുവിന് കഴിയും. രാജുവും അർജുനും സംയുക്തമായി ഈ ജോലി ചെയ്യാൻ തുടങ്ങുകയും 4 ദിവസം അത് തുടരുകയും ജോലി നിർത്തുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു. ഹബീബ്, ബോബി എന്നിവരിൽ ഒരാൾക്ക് ജോലി പൂർത്തിയാക്കണമെങ്കിൽ, അവർക്ക് യഥാക്രമം എത്ര ദിവസം കൂടി വേണ്ടി വരും ?
30 ഉം 25 ഉം
24 ഉം 18 ഉം
36 ഉം 27 ഉം
24 ഉം 20 ഉം
Explanation: ആകെ ജോലി = LCM(20,27,30,36) = 540
കാര്യക്ഷമത = \(\frac{Total work}{Time}\)

രാജുവിന്റെയും അർജുന്റെയും 4 ദിവസത്തെ ജോലി = (27+18)\(\times4\) = 45 \(\times4\)
= 180
ശേഷിക്കുന്ന ജോലി = 540 - 180 = 360
ശേഷിക്കുന്ന ജോലി ഹബീബ് മാത്രമാണ് ചെയ്യുന്നതെങ്കിൽ, എടുക്കുന്ന സമയം = \(\frac{360}{15}\) = 24.
ബാക്കിയുള്ള ജോലി ബോബി മാത്രമാണ് ചെയ്യുന്നതെങ്കിൽ, എടുക്കുന്ന സമയം = \(\frac{360}{20}\) = 18.

ഒരു പ്രത്യേക രീതിയിൽ ക്രമീകരിച്ചിരിക്കുന്ന 200 പേരടങ്ങുന്ന ഒരു ഗ്രൂപ്പിൽ രണ്ടാമത് വരുന്ന വ്യക്തി എപ്പോഴും പുരുഷനും, മൂന്നാമത് വരുന്ന ആൾ സംഗീത പ്രേമിയും, അഞ്ചാമത് വരുന്ന ആൾ സിനിമാ പ്രേമിയും ആണ്. അങ്ങനെയെങ്കിൽ സിനിമയിലും സംഗീതത്തിലും താല്പര്യം ഇല്ലാത്ത എത്ര പുരുഷന്മാർ ഉണ്ട് ?
45
50
53
57
Explanation: 200 ആളുകളിൽ സാധ്യമായ പുരുഷന്മാരുടെ എണ്ണം = 100
ഓരോ മൂന്നാമത്തെ വ്യക്തിയും ഒരു സംഗീത പ്രേമിയായതിനാൽ, 100 പുരുഷന്മാരിൽ ആകെ സംഗീത പ്രേമികൾ = 33
ഓരോ അഞ്ചാമത്തെ വ്യക്തിയും സിനിമാപ്രേമികളാണ്, 100 പുരുഷന്മാരിൽ ആകെ സിനിമാപ്രേമികൾ = 20
മൊത്തം പുരുഷന്മാരിൽ സംഗീതത്തിലോ സിനിമകളിലോ താൽപ്പര്യമില്ലാത്തവർ = 100 - (33+20) + 6 = 53.
(15,30,45,60,75,90 എന്നിവ 3 & 5 രണ്ടിന്റെയും ഗുണിതങ്ങളായതിനാൽ, ഈ സംഖ്യകൾ രണ്ടുതവണ കുറയ്ക്കുന്നു. 6 കൂട്ടുന്നു)
78
ഒരു സെറ്റ് 51 സംഖ്യകൾ, നമ്മൾ ആദ്യത്തെ സംഖ്യ നീക്കം ചെയ്താൽ, ശേഷിക്കുന്ന സംഖ്യകളുടെ ശരാശരി എല്ലാ സംഖ്യകളുടെയും ശരാശരിയിൽ നിന്ന് 1 ആയി കുറയും, ആദ്യത്തേതും രണ്ടാമത്തേതും നീക്കം ചെയ്താൽ, യഥാർത്ഥ 51 സംഖ്യയിൽ നിന്ന് ശരാശരി 2 ആയി കുറയും. എല്ലാ 51 സംഖ്യകളുടെയും ശരാശരി 1000 ആണെങ്കിൽ, ഇനിപ്പറയുന്നവയിൽ ഏതാണ് ശരി?
തന്നിരിക്കുന്ന വ്യവസ്ഥകളെ തൃപ്തിപ്പെടുത്തുന്ന ഒന്നിലധികം സംഖ്യകൾ നിലവിലുണ്ട്
നൽകിയിരിക്കുന്ന ഡാറ്റ ഉപയോഗിച്ച് അക്കങ്ങൾ നിർണ്ണയിക്കാനാകും
ഈ നമ്പറുകളെക്കുറിച്ച് എന്തെങ്കിലും പറയാൻ ഡാറ്റ അപര്യാപ്തമാണ്
അത്തരം സംഖ്യകൾ നിലവിലില്ല
Explanation: സംഖ്യകളുടെ ആകെത്തുക = \(51\times1000\) = 51000
നമ്മൾ ആദ്യത്തെ നമ്പർ നീക്കം ചെയ്താൽ, ശേഷിക്കുന്ന സംഖ്യകളുടെ ശരാശരി = 999
അതായത്, \(\frac{51000 - first number}{50}\) = 999
ആദ്യ നമ്പർ = 51000 -999 \(\times50\) = 1050
നമ്മൾ ആദ്യത്തേതും രണ്ടാമത്തേതും നീക്കം ചെയ്താൽ, ശരാശരി = 998
അതായത്, \(\frac{51000-first number - second number}{48} = 998\)
ഇതിൽ നിന്ന് നമുക്ക് രണ്ടാമത്തെ സംഖ്യ കണ്ടെത്താം.ഇങ്ങനെ മുന്നോട്ട് പോയാൽ ഓരോ സംഖ്യയും കണക്കാക്കാം.

ശരിയായ സമയം കാണിക്കാൻ രണ്ട് 12 മണിക്കൂർ ക്ലോക്കുകൾ തിരുത്തി, അവിടെ ആദ്യത്തെ ക്ലോക്ക് ഓരോ 12 മണിക്കൂറിലും 2 മിനിറ്റ് വേഗതയിലാകുകയും രണ്ടാമത്തേത് ഓരോ 12 മണിക്കൂറിലും 3 മിനിറ്റ് വേഗത കുറയുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു. ഒരേ സമയം കാണിക്കാൻ രണ്ട് ക്ലോക്കുകൾക്കും വേണ്ടി വരുന്ന ഏറ്റവും കുറഞ്ഞ ദിവസം എത്ര ?
180
120
240
360
Explanation: 12 മണിക്കൂറിനുള്ളിൽ, ആദ്യത്തെ ക്ലോക്കിന് 2 മിനിറ്റിന്റെ നേട്ടവും രണ്ടാമത്തെ ക്ലോക്കിൽ 3 മിനിറ്റിന്റെ നഷ്ടവും ഉണ്ട്. അതിനാൽ മൊത്തത്തിൽ 12 മണിക്കൂറിനുള്ളിൽ അവർക്ക് 1 മിനിറ്റ് (+2 - 3 = -1) നഷ്ടമാകും.
12 മണിക്കൂറിനുള്ളിൽ 1 മിനിറ്റ് നഷ്ടം = \(\frac{12\times60}{24}\) മിനിറ്റ് = \(\frac{12\times60\times12}{24}\) ദിവസം = 360 ദിവസം.

ആശുപത്രിയിൽ പ്രവേശിപ്പിക്കപ്പെട്ട പാവപ്പെട്ട രോഗികളെ സഹായിക്കാൻ ഒരു എൻജിഒ രൂപീകരിച്ചു. അവർ സംഭാവനയായി ഫണ്ട് ശേഖരിച്ച് 1000-ന്റെ ഗുണിതമായി രോഗികൾക്ക് തുല്യമായി വിതരണം ചെയ്യാൻ തീരുമാനിച്ചു. സംഘടനാ ചെലവുകൾക്കായി കുറച്ച് തുക സൂക്ഷിക്കാനും അവർ ആഗ്രഹിച്ചു. സംഭാവന, 7 രോഗികൾക്കിടയിൽ തുക തുല്യമായി (1000-ന്റെ ഗുണിതമായി) വിതരണം ചെയ്താൽ 5000 രൂപ മിച്ചം വരുമെന്നും, 5 പേർക്ക് തുല്യമായി വീതിച്ചാൽ 4000 രൂപ മിച്ചം വരുമെന്നും, 2 പേർക്ക് തുല്യമായി വീതിച്ചാൽ മിച്ചമായി ഒന്നും വരില്ലെന്നും കണ്ടെത്തി. അവർ 5 പേരെ സഹായിക്കാൻ തീരുമാനിച്ചാൽ, ഓരോരുത്തർക്കും ലഭിക്കുന്ന ഏറ്റവും കുറഞ്ഞ തുക എത്രയാണ്?
13000
15000
11000
9000
Explanation: നൽകിയിരിക്കുന്ന ഓപ്ഷനുകൾ ഉപയോഗിച്ച് ഈ ചോദ്യം പരിഹരിക്കാൻ കഴിയില്ല.
വിതരണം ചെയ്യേണ്ട തുക 1000 ത്തിന്റെ ഗുണിതങ്ങളിൽ ആയിരിക്കണം. വിതരണത്തിന് 3 വഴികളുണ്ട്.
(1) \(x\) തുക 7 പേർക്ക് വിതരണം ചെയ്യണമെങ്കിൽ,
\(x×7+5000\)= ആകെ തുക
(2) \(y\) തുക 5 ആളുകൾക്കിടയിൽ വിതരണം ചെയ്യണമെങ്കിൽ, അപ്പോൾ
\(y×5+4000\) = ആകെ തുക
(3) \(Z\) തുക 2 പേർക്കിടയിൽ വിതരണം ചെയ്യണമെങ്കിൽ
\(z×2\) = മൊത്തം തുക
ഇപ്പോൾ ഓരോ ഓപ്ഷനും ഓരോന്നായി പരിഗണിക്കുക, 9000 വിതരണം ചെയ്യണമെങ്കിൽ
\(9000×5+4000=49000\)
എന്നാൽ 1000-ന്റെ ഗുണിതമല്ലാത്തതിനാൽ (3) 49000 ന്റെ വിതരണം സാധ്യമല്ല. അതുപോലെ, നൽകിയിരിക്കുന്ന ഓരോ ഓപ്ഷനും വ്യവസ്ഥകൾ പാലിക്കുന്നില്ല.
