The Next Breakout Might Be in Your Pocket
Everyone’s hunting for the next Unicorn.
The type of “category disruptor” that grows fast and turns early believers into big winners.
59,000+ investors think that Mode Mobile could be one of those rare finds.
Americans spend 4 ½ hours on their phones daily, and Mode Mobile is monetizing that screentime. With $1B+ earned by over 490M customers and 32,481% revenue growth, Mode’s EarnPhone is turning smartphones into income generating assets.
Their previous raises sold out, and the company is now offering pre-IPO shares at $0.52/share with up to 20% bonus, exclusive to early investors.
Being early is everything, and this window is still open.
*Please read the offering circular and related risks at invest.modemobile.com.
Mode Mobile recently received their ticker reservation with Nasdaq ($MODE), indicating an intent to IPO in the next 24 months. An intent to IPO is no guarantee that an actual IPO will occur.
The Deloitte rankings are based on submitted applications and public company database research, with winners selected based on their fiscal-year revenue growth percentage over a three-year period.

✅ Answers & Explanations
Question 1
Answer: 15
Simple Solution:
Series: -1, 0, 3, 8, ?
Differences are:
+1, +3, +5
These are consecutive odd numbers.
So, next difference = +7
So, Final answer is 8+7=15
Question 2
Answer: Articulate
Simple Solution:
Confident and Assured are synonyms.
Similarly, Eloquent means able to express ideas clearly and effectively.
So, the synonym of Eloquent is Articulate.
Correct Answer: Articulate ✅
Question 3
Answer: Cousin or Second-Cousin
Simple Solution:
Rahul’s mother’s younger brother’s younger sister = Rahul’s maternal aunt.
That lady is the mother-in-law of Rahul’s maternal aunt.
The same lady is Sneha’s father’s mother.
So, Sneha’s father belongs to the same family into which Rahul’s maternal aunt is married.
Therefore, Sneha can be Rahul’s cousin or second-cousin.
Correct Answer: Cousin or Second-Cousin ✅
Question 4
Answer: 16.66%
Simple Solution:
Let Nikita's salary = 100.
Rajendra's salary is 20% greater than Nikita's salary.
Rajendra’s salary=100+20% of 100 =120
Difference in salary:
120−100=20
Percentage by which Nikita's salary is less than Rajendra's salary:
20/120×100=16.66%
Correct Answer: 16.66% ✅
Question 5
Simple Interest = 1000×3×10/100=Rs 300
Compound Interest = 1000(1+10/100)3−1000=1331−1000=Rs 331
Hence, Simple Interest would be lesser by Rs 31.
Question 6
LCM of 6 and 5 is 30, so 30 units is the total work.
On each day, A does 30/6 = 5 units of work.
On each day, B does 30/5 = 6 units of work.
So, in the first 2 days, A completes 10 units of work.
Therefore, 20 units of work remain. Together, A and B complete 11 units per day.
So, the remaining work will be completed in 20/11 = 1 9/11 days.
Total time taken:
2+20/11=42/11 days
Question 7
Let us assume the numbers to be 4x and 7x.
It is given that the square of the sum of these numbers:
(4x+7x)2=4356
(121x)2 =4356
X2=36
The difference between the squares of these two numbers:
(7x)2 - (4x)2
=49×2-16×2 = 33×2
33×36=1188
Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
Question 8
Answer: Pyromania
Explanation:
Pyromania is a psychological condition characterized by an obsession with or irresistible urge to set fires or a fascination with fire.
Homichlophobia ❌ – Fear of fog.
Pyromania ✅ – Obsession with or compulsive attraction to fire.
Nyctophobia ❌ – Fear of the dark.
None of the above ❌ – Incorrect, as Pyromania is the appropriate term.
Correct Answer: Pyromania ✅
Question 9
Answer: Menacing
Explanation:
Baleful means threatening, menacing, or harmful, often suggesting danger or evil intent.
Angry ❌ – Means feeling or showing anger, not necessarily threatening.
Friendly ❌ – Opposite in meaning.
Menacing ✅ – Means threatening or suggesting danger; it is the correct synonym.
Tired ❌ – Means exhausted, unrelated to the meaning of baleful.
Correct Answer: Menacing ✅

Active: Where did he find you?
