Q.No.50: which of the following sentences are true with regard to circular communications
Answer:
Of the four options given, the following are true with regard to circular communication:
- It indicates that messages can go in two directions (Option B). Circular communication involves messages flowing back and forth between communicators, as opposed to one-way communication where the flow of information is in one direction only.

Q.No: 46 A teacher while teaching a lesson in the class room moving his right shoulder very frequently. what kind of
Answer:
the correct option is D. Both verbal and non-verbal communication.
The teacher in the image is exhibiting non-verbal communication through their body language, specifically the frequent movement of their right shoulder. This could be due to various reasons, but it communicates something beyond their spoken words.
Verbal communication refers to the words we use to communicate, while non-verbal communication refers to all the other ways we communicate, such as body language, facial expressions, tone of voice, and posture. Effective communication uses both verbal and non-verbal cues to convey a message clearly and accurately.
Q.No: 45 The number that comes next in the blank 5, 9, 18, 43, 92, 213, ____
the correct option is (D) 382.
The series follows a pattern where the next number is the sum of the previous number and the square of a prime number. In this sequence, the prime numbers increase consecutively.
Here's the breakdown:
5 + 2^2 (prime number 2) = 9
9 + 3^2 (prime number 3) = 18
18 + 5^2 (prime number 5) = 43
43 + 7^2 (prime number 7) = 92
92 + 11^2 (prime number 11) = 213
213 + 13^2 (prime number 13) = 382
Therefore, 382 is the next number in the sequence.
Q.No: 44:
Answer:
Petal and flower are related like a part to a whole.
- A petal is a modified leaf that is part of a flower.
- Flowers typically have multiple petals, along with other parts like sepals, stamens, and pistils.
- All the petals of a flower together are called the corolla.
Here's an analogy: Imagine a flower as a house. The petals would be like the colorful shingles on the roof, while the flower itself is the entire structure
the correct option is D. Puppy: Dog.
Both puppy and dog are related by age. A puppy is a young dog. The other options are
you might have been considering:
-
A. Flower: Plant: This is also a type of hierarchy, but it's broader. A flower is a specific part of a plant, used for reproduction. While puppies are young dogs, all dogs are still plants (incorrect).
-
B. Shirt: Clothing: This describes a part-whole relationship, similar to puppy and dog. However, a shirt isn't a young version of clothing; it's one type of clothing (incorrect).
-
C. Car: Vehicle: This demonstrates a category relationship. A car is a type of vehicle. But a puppy isn't a type of dog; it's a specific age group within dogs (incorrect).
Therefore, option D (Puppy: Dog) best captures the specific age-related hierarchy between the two.
Q.No: 41-43 Based on the given statements
answer questions 41 to 43 as follows:
41. Statements:
i. All fans are watches (సంఖాలన్నీ వాచీలు)
ii. Some watches are black (కొన్ని వాచీలు నలుపు)
Conclusions:
I. All watches are fans (వాచీలన్నీ సంఖాలు) (D)
II. Some fans are black (కొన్ని సంఖాలు నలుపు) (D)
Reasoning:
The statements do not provide enough information to determine if all watches are fans (Conclusion I) or if some fans are black (Conclusion II). The first statement only says that some fans are watches, but it doesn't say anything about what other things might be watches. The second statement only says that some watches are black, but it doesn't say anything about the color of fans.
Therefore, the answer for question 41 is (D) If neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.
42. Statements:
i. All cows are dogs (ఆవులన్నీ కుక్కలు)
ii. No dog is a cat (ఏ కుక్కాపిల్లి కాదు)
Conclusions:
I. No cat is a cow (ఏ పిల్లీ ఆవు కాదు) (C)
II. No cow is a cat (ఏ ఆవూ పిల్లి కాదు) (C)
Reasoning:
From the second statement, we know that no dogs are cats. If all cows are dogs (statement i), then it follows that no cows can be cats either (as dogs cannot be cats). Therefore, both Conclusion I and Conclusion II hold true.
The answer for question 42 is (C) If both conclusions I and II follow.
43. Statements:
i. All Teachers are actors (ఉపాధ్యాయులందరూ నటులు)
ii. All actors are women (నటులందరూ స్త్రీలు)
Conclusions:
I. All women are Teachers (స్త్రీలందరూ ఉపాధ్యాయులు) (D)
II. All Teachers are women (ఉపాధ్యాయులందరూ స్త్రీలు) (C)
Reasoning:
The first statement says all teachers are actors, but it doesn't say anything about women in general. So, we cannot be sure if all women are teachers (Conclusion I). However, the second statement says all actors are women. Since all teachers are also actors (statement i), it follows that all teachers must be women (Conclusion II).
The answer for question 43 is (C) If only conclusion II follows.
Q.No: 40. Match the following elements in the given two groups based on various kinds of evaluation
Answer:
The description in Group II that aligns with NEP 2020's focus (mentioned in option IV) is formative evaluation (Group II, option c). Formative evaluation is an ongoing process that helps teachers identify student strengths and weaknesses and adjust their instruction accordingly. This aligns with the goals of NEP 2020, which emphasizes a more learner-centered approach to education.

Q.No: 39. Which of the following method are learner calculated methods
Answer:
all the methods listed (a. historical method, b. lecture method, c. heuristic method, d. project method, e. activity-based method, f. lecture demonstration method, g. storytelling method, and h. problem-solving method) can be considered learner-calculated methods.
Here's why:
Learner-centered methods: All the methods listed emphasize the learner's active participation in the learning process. They encourage learners to construct their own understanding of concepts rather than passively receiving information.
While some methods provide a structured approach (like the historical method or the lecture demonstration method), they still require learners to analyze information and form their own conclusions.
Other methods, like the project method or the activity-based method, are inherently learner-centered as they involve students actively engaging in tasks and problems.
Option: A is correct
