FIA Assistant Director Paper 2019 Batch 1

The question 'Who painted it:' is asking for the subject of the painting action, so the correct form is 'Who painted it?' None of the given options are grammatically correct or appropriate responses to this question. Therefore, 'None of these' is the correct choice.

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 phrase 'Majority of the speakers' is plural because it refers to multiple speakers, so the verb should be plural 'are' to agree with the plural subject.

The population increases by 700 each year for 5 years, so total increase = 700 × 5 = 3500. Given the population after 5 years is 25000, the initial population = 25000 - 3500 = 21500.

The correct passive transformation of 'He made us work' is 'We are made to work.' Option A correctly reflects this transformation. Option C is a duplicate of A but the question format typically expects the first correct option to be chosen.

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.

According to the factor theorem, if (z - a) is a factor of polynomial P(z), then P(a) = 0. None of the options A (z), B (o), or C (a) represent zero, so the correct answer is D (None of these).

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.
