Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 4 ] :
P and Q started a business by investing their capitals in the ratio of 1 : 2 and the period of P's investment is three times that of Q. If P received a profit of ₹ 22,800, then what is the total profit?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The total profit is ₹ 38,000. Profit is shared in the ratio of capital times period. P's capital is 1 part for 3 units of time and Q's is 2 parts for 1 unit of time. \[ P : Q = 1\times 3 : 2\times 1 = 3 : 2 \] P's share is \(\frac{3}{5}\) of the profit, so \[ \text{Total} = 22800\times\frac{5}{3} = 38000 \] Reversing the periods would give a ratio of 1 : 6 and a very different total, and ₹ 36,000, ₹ 36,900 and ₹ 42,000 do not match P's share of 3 out of 5 parts.
If \(\sin \theta = \frac{3}{5}\), what is the value of \(\cos \theta\)?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
We use the fundamental trigonometric identity \(\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1\).
\((\frac{3}{5})^2 + \cos^2 \theta = 1\)
\(\frac{9}{25} + \cos^2 \theta = 1\)
\(\cos^2 \theta = 1 - \frac{9}{25} = \frac{16}{25}\)
\(\cos \theta = \sqrt{\frac{16}{25}} = \frac{4}{5}\) (Assuming θ is in the first quadrant).
The difference between simple and compound interest on Rs. 1200 for one year at 10% per annum reckoned half-yearly is?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
\[ A = P\left(1 + \frac{R}{100}\right)^{n}, \qquad \text{CI} = A - P, \qquad \text{SI} = \frac{PRn}{100} \]
Reckoned half-yearly, the 10% becomes 5% per half-year over two periods.
\[ \text{CI} = 1200\left[(1.05)^{2} - 1\right] = 1200(1.1025 - 1) = \text{Rs. } 123 \]
\[ \text{SI} = 1200 \times 0.10 \times 1 = \text{Rs. } 120 \]
\[ \text{difference} = 123 - 120 = \text{Rs. } 3 \]
With annual compounding over a single year the two would be identical; it is the half-yearly rest that creates any gap at all.
If 20 % of \(a = b\), then \(b\) % of 20 is the same as:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
20 % of \(a = b \Rightarrow \frac{20}{100}a = b.\)
\(\therefore b\) % of \(20 = (\frac{b}{100} \times 20) = (\frac{20}{100}a \times \frac{1}{100} \times 20) = \frac{4}{100}a = 4\)% of \(a\)

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: All follow
Fog makes flying and running trains unsafe, so suspending the services while it lasts is prudent; and travellers must be told what to expect so that they can plan around the delays. Each course meets a real part of the situation, so all follow.

Each question given below consists of a statement, followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a 'strong' argument and which is a 'weak' argument.
Give answer:

Statement: Should the political parties be banned?
Arguments:
1. Yes. It is necessary to teach a lesson to the politicians.
2. No. It will lead to an end of democracy
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Neither I nor II is strong
Argument 1 proposes a ban in order to teach politicians a lesson, which is a motive rather than a reason of policy. Argument 2 states a consequence - the end of democracy - but does not show how it would follow from banning parties. Neither is argued for. Neither is strong.

1. Travel 2. Destination 3. Payment 4. Berth/Seat number 5. Reservation 6. Availability of berth/ Seat reservation
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: 2,6,3,5,4,1
The words run in order of the steps in taking a train journey: Destination → Availability of berth → Payment → Reservation → Berth number → Travel.
Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series. 25 69 201 597 ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The missing number is 1785. Each term is three times the previous term minus 6: 25 x 3 - 6 = 69, 69 x 3 - 6 = 201, 201 x 3 - 6 = 597, so the next is 597 x 3 - 6 = 1785.
1775, 1765 and 1825 do not follow from 597 under the rule that fits all four earlier steps.
Check the pattern on the earlier terms: 25 x 3 - 6 = 69, 69 x 3 - 6 = 201 and 201 x 3 - 6 = 597, so one rule explains every step and gives 1785.

(P) and without it
(Q) that is necessary
(R) to keep the world going
(S) we all should die
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: QRPS
The sentence reads:
Work is the one thing that is necessary to keep the world going and without it we all should die.
Q begins the relative clause after the one thing, and R gives the purpose that completes it. P then joins a second clause with and, and S supplies its subject and verb.

The letters N, O, E, L, M can be rearranged to give the name of a fruit. What is the first letter of that word ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: L
The five letters rearrange to LEMON, so the first letter is L. No other ordering of these letters gives a common fruit.
Direction for [ Question No: 11 To 12 ] :
Which of phrases given below each sentence should replace the phrase printed in bold type to make the grammatically correct?
Select the grammatically correct sentence:
1. You cannot win my confidence without ever believing me.
2. You cannot win my confidence without never believing me.
3. You cannot win my confidence without not believing me.
4. You cannot win my confidence with ever believing me.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
It is sentence 1.
Without is already negative, so it cannot be followed by never - that would be a double negative. Without ever believing me is the correct form.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
It should read did they?
A question tag reverses the polarity: a negative statement takes a positive tag. The statement is past simple negative, did not go, so the tag is did they.

Direction for [ Question No: 14 To 14 ] :
In each of the following questions, choose the word opposite in meaning to the given word.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The opposite is steady.
Erratic means irregular and unpredictable, from the Latin errare, to wander. Steady holds a constant course.
The boy
(P) with big blue eyes
(Q)watched him,
(R) and he never said a word
(S) that had an uncanny cold fire in them
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: QPSR
The sentence reads:
The boy watched him, with big blue eyes that had an uncanny cold fire in them, and he never said a word.
Q supplies the main verb for the boy. P and S then describe the eyes, and S must follow P because that had… in them is a relative clause needing eyes before it. R joins the second main clause with and.
Computer Awareness [ Question No: 16 To 20 ] :
Which among the following toolbars provide different options in various master views?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Common tasks toolbar
The Common Tasks toolbar changes its contents with the view, so in Slide Master, Title Master, Handout Master and Notes Master view it offers the commands that belong to that master. The Standard, Formatting and Drawing toolbars keep the same buttons whichever view is on screen.
For a sliding window of size n-1 (n sequence numbers), there can be maximum of how many frames sent but unacknowledged ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: n -1
With n sequence numbers the window is limited to n−1 frames. If it were n, a completely lost set of acknowledgements would leave the receiver unable to tell a retransmission from a new frame.
Establishing a virtual connection is virtually equivalent to
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: placing a telephone call prior to a conversion
A virtual circuit is set up before any data flows and torn down afterwards, so the route is fixed for the duration - exactly as dialling establishes a path before the conversation begins. Nothing is physically switched into place, which is what makes the circuit virtual.
What is the name of the operating system that reads and reacts in terms of actual time
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: Real time system
A real-time system must respond within a deadline set by the process it controls, because a correct answer that arrives late is useless - the world has moved on. Batch and time-sharing systems aim at throughput and fair response instead, with no guaranteed deadline.
The time required for the fetching and execution of one simple machine instruction is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: CPU cycle
The complete fetch–decode–execute sequence for one simple machine instruction is a CPU cycle (also called the machine or instruction cycle). Seek time is how long a disk arm takes to reach a track, and real time refers to processing that must keep pace with external events.
