Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The intersection point of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle is the circumcenter. This point is equidistant from all three vertices of the triangle and is the center of the circle that circumscribes the triangle.
A man buys a watch for Rs. 1950 in cash and sells it for Rs. 2200 at a credit of 1 year. If the rate of interest is 10% per annum, the man:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The present worth (PW) is what the sum is really worth today; the true discount (TD) is the interest that PW would earn over the remaining time:
\[ \text{Amount} = \text{PW}\left(1 + \frac{RT}{100}\right), \qquad \text{TD} = \text{Amount} - \text{PW} \]
The Rs. 2200 arrives a year late, so discount it back to today.
\[ \text{PW} = \frac{2200}{1 + \dfrac{10 \times 1}{100}} = \frac{2200}{1.1} = 2000 \]
\[ \text{gain} = 2000 - 1950 = \text{Rs. } 50 \]
Comparing 2200 with 1950 suggests a Rs. 250 profit, but Rs. 200 of that is merely compensation for waiting a year - only the remaining Rs. 50 is real gain.
A Clock is started at Noon, by 10 minutes past 7, the hour hand has turn through:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
In a clock, 12 hours form 360° degree. So one hour forms 30°. Therefore 7 hours form 210° (30° X 7) degree. In a minute, hour hand moves 0.5° degree, so in 10 minutes it moves 0.5° X 10 = 5°
Thus, by 10 Minutes past 7, hour hand has turn through 210° + 5° = 215°
Find the products: (i) 6.3204 * 100(ii) 0.069 * 10000
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Multiplying by a power of ten moves the decimal point right by as many places as the power has zeros.
(i) \[ 6.3204 \times 100 = 632.04 \]
(ii) \[ 0.069 \times 10000 = 690 \]
In the second the point moves four places but only three digits are available, so a zero is written in to fill the gap: 0.069 becomes 0690, that is 690.
The unit’s digit in the product \((3127)^{173}\) is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Unit digit in \((3127)^{173}\) = Unit digit in 7173. Now, 74 gives unit digit 1
Therefore, \(7173= (74)43 \times 71\). Thus, 7173 gives unit digit 7

In these questions relations between different elements is shown in the statements.These statements are followed by two conclusions.
Statements
Z>T, T<M<J
Conclusions
I.T<J
II.J<Z
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Only Conclusion I follows
The statements are \( Z > T \) and \( T < M < J \).
Conclusion I claims \( T < J \). The second statement is already a chain running from T through M to J in a single direction, so \( T < M < J \) gives \( T < J \) directly. Follows.
Conclusion II claims \( J < Z \). Here T is the low point that both Z and J stand above - \( Z > T \) and \( J > T \) - and two elements above a common third are in no fixed order. Taking \( T = 1 \), both \( Z = 2, J = 9 \) and \( Z = 9, J = 2 \) satisfy every statement. Does not follow.
Only the first conclusion follows.

Conclusions:
1. The Government will increase the price of the diesel after the imminent spurt in the international oil prices.
2. The Government will not increase the price of the diesel even after the imminent spurt in the international oil prices.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The Government seeks to review the policy so as to determine whether the diesel price needs to be increased or it can be kept stable by adjusting certain other factors. So, either decision may be taken. Thus, either I or II follows.
Direction for [ Question No: 8 To 8 ] :

Statement: If you are an engineer, we have a challenging job for you.
Assumptions:
1. We need an engineer.
2. You are an engineer
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Only assumption I is implicit
The offer of a job to engineers presupposes that an engineer is wanted - assumption I. Assumption II states outright that the reader is an engineer, whereas the sentence only makes it a condition. Only I is implicit.

A leaking tap wastes water and will go on doing so until it is mended. Calling someone who can mend it deals with the cause; putting up with the noise does not.
How many visitors saw the exhibition yesterday ?
Statements:
1. Each entry pass holder can take up to three persons with him/her.
2. In all, 243 passes were sold yesterday.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Neither 1 or 2 is sufficient
Statement 2 gives 243 passes and statement 1 says each holder may bring up to three others. “Up to” is the difficulty: the total lies anywhere between 243 and 972, and nothing says how many actually brought companions. Both statements together give a range, not a number.
Arrange the given words Alphabetical Order and choose the one that comes first.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Diastole
Comparing letter by letter, the alphabetical order of the five words is:
Diastole → Dictate → Dictionary → Dictum → Didactic
All five share Di, so the third letter divides them: a, c, c, c, d. Diastole leads. The three Dict- words are then separated by the fifth letter - a, i, u - giving Dictate, Dictionary, Dictum in that order.
General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 12 To 20 ] :
'X' is a chemical present in our stomach and is necessary for digestion of food. When 'X' is secreted in excess, it causes health problems like indigestion. 'Y' is a chemical used to treat this condition. What could be 'X' and 'Y' ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
X is hydrochloric acid and Y is milk of magnesia.
The stomach secretes hydrochloric acid, which creates the acidic medium needed for the enzyme pepsin to digest proteins and also kills germs. Too much acid causes acidity and indigestion. It is treated with an antacid, a mild base such as milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide), which neutralises the excess acid.
Milk of magnesia is not secreted in the stomach, so options naming it as X are wrong. Sodium carbonate (washing soda) is too strongly alkaline to take as an antacid; the antacid in that family is sodium hydrogencarbonate (baking soda). Ascorbic acid, vitamin C, is an acid and would make acidity worse.

Which of these is the world’s highest plateau?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: The Tibetan Plateau
The Tibetan Plateau averages over 4,500 metres above sea level across an area of some 2.5 million square kilometres, which has earned it the name the Roof of the World. It is the highest and largest plateau on Earth. It was raised by the same collision that built the Himalaya: India driving into Asia thickened the crust to roughly twice its normal depth, lifting the whole region. Its influence on Asian climate is profound. It heats strongly in summer, and that heating helps drive the monsoon circulation; it also blocks cold northern air from reaching the subcontinent. Its glaciers and snowfields feed the Indus, Ganga, Brahmaputra, Mekong, Yangtze and Yellow rivers, which is why it is called the Water Tower of Asia and why change there matters to billions of people. The Deccan is India’s own great plateau, formed of basalt lava flows, and the Colorado Plateau is the one the Grand Canyon is cut into.
