The 1,700%+ Lesson From SpaceX’s IPO
SpaceX IPO’d at a $1.75T valuation. Three business days later, they were the sixth-most valuable public company.
Those who bought at the opening bell saw a 40% gain. Andreessen Horowitz, who invested back in 2023? 1,700%+. The lesson? Today’s biggest growth comes at the private stage.
It’s why institutions love private-stage opportunities. A similar dynamic’s playing out in lithium, where General Motors backed $1B+ private unicorn EnergyX. Except this time, you can join them.
EnergyX’s patented tech can recover up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods. And with lithium prices up 75% this year and demand projected to grow 5X by 2040, they’re perfectly positioned.
After opening America’s largest lithium production facility of its kind, EnergyX is preparing to unlock up to 13M tons. Become a private-stage EnergyX before the 7/16 deadline.

✅ Answers & Explanations
1️⃣Four classes Rural Marketing, Digital Marketing, International Marketing and Service Marketing were taught four consecutive periods of one hour each starting from 8.00 am on a week day.
Digital Marketing class was scheduled:
Statement I. International marketing class ended at 10.00 am which was preceded by Service Marketing.
We can make the following schedule
8.00 am - 9.00 am: Service Marketing
9.00 am - 10.00 am: International Marketing
10.00 am - 11.00 am: __________
11.00 am - 12.00 noon: __________
Statement II. Rural Marketing was scheduled as the last class.
Statement III. International Marketing was immediately followed by Digital Marketing.
We can subsequently find the exact time when Digital Marketing is scheduled from both the statements.
2️⃣ Statement I. Kakade’s basic salary is Rs.100/- more than Madan’s salary, who also serves in Kakade’s company.
Statement II. Other allowance taken by Madan besides his basic salary is 1/10th of Kakade’s salary.
Statement III. Madan’s basic salary is Rs.15000/- per month.
From all the three statements we can find the basic monthly salary of Kakade but we cannot calculate the allowance he gets, thus the data is insufficient.
3️⃣ 5, 9, 16, 29, 54, ___, ?
5×2−1 = 9
9×2−2 = 16
16×2−3 = 29
29×2−4 = 54
54×2−5 = 103
103×2−6 = 200
Answer: 200
4️⃣Fibonacci Series = 1,1,2,3,5.....
Z − Y = 1
Y − X = 1
X − V = 2
V − S = 3
N − S = 5
Option A is correct.
5️⃣The following information can be gathered:
=> Marketing cannot be scheduled on Tuesday as it is inconvenient for the expert.
=> Expert for Finance is available only on Tuesday.
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday
_____ Finance
=> Information Systems has to be scheduled immediately on the day following the Marketing lecture.
=> Organisational Behaviour lecture has to be scheduled immediately before the day of Marketing lecture.
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday
Operations – Finance – Organisational Behaviour – Marketing – Information Systems
Option D
6️⃣MASTER is written as 79 7 115 121 31 109
In the alphabetical order M = 13, A = 1, S = 19, T = 20, E = 5, R = 18
The sequence is (n × 6) + 1:
79 = 13 × 6 + 1
7 = 1 × 6 + 1
115 = 19 × 6 + 1
121 = 20 × 6 + 1
31 = 5 × 6 + 1
109 = 18 × 6 + 1
Thus the sequence for LAUGH will be:
L = 12 × 6 + 1 = 73
A = 1 × 6 + 1 = 7
U = 21 × 6 + 1 = 127
G = 7 × 6 + 1 = 43
H = 8 × 6 + 1 = 49
Answer: 7371274349
7️⃣From the information given in the question, we can make the following diagram.
PILLU
↓ ↓ ↓
POLU MOLU GANNU
↓
GOLU
Option C is correct.
8️⃣bemuse, bewilder and confuse all mean the same, all relate to causing confusion or puzzlement. Therefore, the odd one out is reuse.
The answer is option B.
9️⃣ ‘desire for’ is the appropriate word for the given blank.
Sentence: The young man said that he had no desire for riches.
Answer is option B.
🔟No of vowels in PUNE = 2
No of vowels in GOA = 2
2/2 = 1
No of vowels in CHENNAI = 3
No of vowels in GOA = 2
3/2 = 1.5
No of vowels in MUMBAI = 3
No of vowels in PUNE = 2
3/2 = 1.5
Option C
1️⃣1️⃣30 players participated in the tournament.
In the first elimination round, 15 players will be eliminated. (15 matches)
In the second elimination round, 7 players will be eliminated. (7 matches)
In the third elimination round, 4 players will be eliminated. (4 matches)
In the fourth elimination round, 2 players will be eliminated. (2 matches)
Final Match (1 match)
Total matches = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 15 matches
= 29 matches
1️⃣2️⃣The antonym should mean the opposite — simple, humble, or not showy.
Modest → simple and not boastful ✅
Pretentious → trying to appear important ❌
Flamboyant → very flashy and dramatic ❌
Obtrusive → noticeable in an unpleasant way ❌
Hence, Option A (Modest) is the correct answer.
