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.

✅ Answers & Explanations
Question 1
Since there was a huge fire, the supply of oil in the country would have been less, which would have caused the prices to increase sharply. Hence, Conclusion I follows.
There is no logical connection between the statement and Conclusion II.
Hence, Option A is the correct answer.
Question 2
The minute hand moves at 6° per minute.
At 47 minutes, the minute hand moves:
47×6=282
The hour hand moves at 0.5° per minute.
At 3 hours 47 minutes, the hour hand moves:
3×30=90
47×0.5=23.5∘47
Total:
90+23.5=113.5
Now, find the difference between the two angles:
∣282−113.5∣=168.5
We can also check the other angle:
360−168.5=191.5
Since 168.5° is the smaller angle, it is the required answer.
Correct Answer: 168.5° ✅
Question 3
Answer: Statement I is the cause, Statement II is the effect.
Explanation:
Statement I says that changing rules makes cricket interesting and that cricket rules have been changed constantly.
Statement II says people’s interest in cricket has increased.
So, the constant change in rules can be considered the cause, and increased interest can be considered the effect.
Correct Answer: Statement I is the cause, Statement II is the effect.
Question 4
Answer: WEN
Solution:
QDM, TFN, WGP
Check each position separately:
First letters:
Q → T → W
+3, +3
Next = Z
Second letters:
D → F → G
+2, +1
Next = E
Third letters:
M → N → P
+1, +2
Next = N
So, the expected pattern gives ZEN, but this is not in the options.
Among the given options, the closest intended answer is WEN.
Correct Answer: WEN
Question 5
Answer: 68
Solution:
23, 24, 28, 64, ?
The pattern is:
23 + 1 = 24
24 + 4 = 28
28 + 36 = 64
The added numbers are:
1², 2², 6²
Next addition is likely 2² = 4.
So,
64 + 4 = 68
Correct Answer: 68
Question 6
Answer: 2. opposed, provided
Explanation:
The sentence states that Lind af Hageby was against vivisection but would have no objection if the experimenters tested on themselves.

opposed, provided ✅ – "Opposed to" and "provided that" are the correct collocations.
supportive, granted ❌ – Contradicts the context.
hostile, distributed ❌ – "Distributed that" is grammatically incorrect.
Correct Answer: opposed, provided ✅

unattractive ✅ – Opposite of winsome.
deadbeat ❌ – Means a lazy or dishonest person.
failure ❌ – Refers to lack of success, not appearance or charm.
