FIA Assistant Director Paper 2019 Batch 1

The 13th East Asia Summit was held in Singapore on 14-15 November 2018. This is confirmed by multiple authoritative sources including the official ASEAN website and Wikipedia. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Singapore' (option A). The original answer 'Laos' (option B) is incorrect, and the explanation discussing the 2010 summit is irrelevant to the question about the 13th summit.

Under Section 5 of the FIA Act, contravention of an order is punishable with rigorous imprisonment for up to 1 year. This makes option A the correct choice.

The sentence implies that the change from medieval kingdoms to constitutional republics was not sudden but happened slowly over time, making 'gradual' the correct choice. Options 'rapid' and 'unexpected' contradict the idea of a slow change, and 'None of these' is not appropriate since 'gradual' fits well.

The verb 'deliberated' means to carefully consider or discuss something, which fits the context of jury members discussing before giving a verdict. 'Deferred' means to postpone, and 'adjourned' means to suspend proceedings, neither of which fit the sentence context. Therefore, 'deliberated' is the correct choice.

The multiplicative inverse of a complex number a + bi is given by (a - bi) / (a^2 + b^2). For 6 - 5i, the inverse is (6 + 5i) / (6^2 + (-5)^2) = (6 + 5i) / 61. The imaginary part is therefore 5/61.

In a triangle, the largest angle is opposite the longest side. Here, side a = 60 is the longest, so the largest angle is opposite side a.

The total number of balls is 9 + 8 + 3 = 20. The number of balls that are not orange is 9 + 8 = 17. Therefore, the probability of selecting a ball that is not orange is 17/20.

The 2020 Summer Olympics were held in Tokyo, Japan. Although originally scheduled for 2020, the event was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but retained the name 'Tokyo 2020.'

"Elucidate" means to make something clear or explain, which is not a synonym of "investigate." "Examine" and "Scrutinize" both mean to inspect or investigate closely, making them synonyms of "investigate."

The total number of ways to dress is the product of the number of choices for each clothing item: 6 coats × 3 shirts × 5 trousers = 90 ways.
