When rent is paid by cheque, the Bank account is credited (money goes out of the bank) and the Rent account is debited (expense is incurred). This follows the rule 'Debit the receiver, Credit the giver' applied to nominal and real accounts.

Coconut trees produce coconuts, not bananas. The trick is recognizing that the premise itself contains a factual error - coconut trees don't bear bananas, so none of the animals can get one regardless of their climbing speed.

The wall is already built, so it would take 'no time' to build it again. The question asks how long it would take four men to build 'it' (referring to the same wall that already exists), not a new wall.

The letters 'O I C U R M T' sound like 'Oh I see you are empty' when pronounced aloud. This is a pun on the nursery rhyme where Old Mother Hubbard finds her cupboard bare (empty).

Survivors of a crash are not buried - only the deceased are buried. The question tricks you into choosing a burial location while ignoring that survivors are still alive.

The speaker has no brothers, so 'my father's son' must be the speaker himself. Therefore 'that man's father is my father's son' becomes 'that man's father is me' - which means 'that man' is the speaker's son.

Maharaja Ranjit Singh (1780-1839) was the founder of the Sikh Empire and is famously called the 'Lion of Punjab' or 'Sher-e-Punjab.' He unified various Sikh misls and conquered Lahore, establishing a powerful kingdom that resisted British expansion during his lifetime. His military genius and secular administration made him Punjab's most iconic ruler. Uday Singh was a Mewar ruler, Virbhadra Singh is a modern Congress politician, and Gurpreet Singh appears to be a fabricated option.

Wolffia, also known as duckweed, is the smallest flowering plant in the world. These tiny aquatic plants are barely visible to the naked eye, measuring just 0.6-1.2 mm in diameter. Water lilies, Indian pink lilies, and roses are all significantly larger flowering plants.

The Gulf of Mexico is the world's largest gulf, covering approximately 1.5 million square kilometers. It's bordered by the United States, Mexico, and Cuba. Other options like Gulf of Mannar and Gulf of Cambay are much smaller bodies of water.

The Caspian Sea is the world's largest inland body of water and the largest saltwater lake by area, spanning about 371,000 square kilometers. Despite its name, it's technically a lake with no natural outlet. The Aral Sea has significantly shrunk due to water diversion.

The Three Gorges Dam in China is the world's largest dam by total capacity and power generation. It became fully operational in 2012 and has a massive reservoir capacity of 39.3 cubic kilometers. Grand Coulee Dam in the USA is large but not the largest, while Brandvlei Dam and Tungabhadra Dam are significantly smaller.
