Richard Strauss in 1896 and is a philosophical treatise on
Friedrich Nietzsche’s book Thus Spoke Zarathustra.

4) The phrase X refers to an approximate method of doing something,
taking experience into account rather than relying on theoretical principles.
There are varying accounts regarding the origin of this phrase, some
notable ones are:
X was commonly used as a unit of measurement as the equivalent of one
inch in cloth trade
X was also used in brewing beer, to gauge the heat of the brewing vat.
X might have been derived from the maximum width of a stick allowed for
wife-beating under English common law, but no such law ever existed. This
belief may have originated in a rumored statement by 18th-century judge
that a man may beat his wife with a stick no wider than his Y.
ID the phrase X

an amateur it is almost impossible. Only 44 players have done this
event 'Y' in televised matches of sport 'X’.

of sport 'X', the 2 players almost simultaneously did the event 'Y' (1

Pick any 2 questions out of 5 for Stakes

1) The visual identity of one of the most influential IT companies in
the world is a tribute to the city where it was born and a reflection of
the founder’s’ value of their roots and heritage. The company got its
first emblem designed in 1985.
The idea for the logo came to the first CEO of the company, who
drew inspiration
from an iconic structure which served as the identity of this city in
USA. The ____ is a symbol of connecting the world and moving from
the past to the future. In the case of the company, the connection is
being made with the help of technologies and innovations.
Though we do not see the actual structure in the company’s current
logo, we still see how it bears semblance to the original idea.
ID the company.

Mumbai ki na Dilli walo ki
Pinky hai paise walo ki

well, which became their primary product.

to a nautical theme, i.e., sailing ships which is intended for
universal male appeal. The original ships used on the
packaging were the Grand Turk and the Friendship.
ID the brand

3) Given below is a picture of the “Speedy Kiwi” which served
as the 1967 logo of the company X. The kiwi was chosen in
particular as the founder of X, a native New Zealander wanted
to pay homage to his home country.
The subsequent logo of the company featured a red and black
chevron pattern, alluding to the sponsorship by Marlboro.
ID X

4) XY, currently doing business as X, was originally founded in
Massachusetts in 1948 and was named Open Kettle.
XY rebranded to X in 2019 as they realized that 60 percent of
their revenue was
generated by the beverage market and thus removed Y from
the focus of their business.
The current logo features a certain punctuation mark which is
very appropriate given the fact that they have “dropped” Y to
emphasize on making beverages their mark.
Id X (the current logo)

5) Dunkin’ (The apostrophe signifies dropped letters/alphabets
and in this case alludes to the absence of ‘Donuts’ in the new
