Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
Lack of self-control has brought grief to more people than any other shortcoming known to the human race. Every successful person must have some sort of a balance wheel for his or her emotions. When a person becomes extremely angry, certain glands triggered by negative emotions begin to empty their contents into the blood and if this is kept up for more time, it will result in serious damage to the entire system, sometimes leading to death. The blood coagulates at that time. Nature created this system for the protection of the young human race during the savage stage of development, when anger usually preceding a fight might mean opening of the veins and loss of blood.
There is a reason of developing self-control. One who lacks self-control may be easily mastered by one who has such control. Success in life is very largely a matter of harmonious negotiation with other people and this requires self-control in abundance.
The author of the 'Law of Success Philosophy' once observed a long line of angry woman in front of the 'Complaint Desk' of a large Chicago department store. The young woman who was hearing the complaints, kept cool and smiled all the time not withstanding the fact that some of the women were very abusive. One by one, this young woman directed the women to the right department and she did it with such poise that it caused the author to walk up closer where he could see just what was happening.

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 4 ] :
If \(\frac{1}{2.5} = 0.4\), then what is the value of \(\frac{1}{0.000025}\)?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The value is 40000. Since \(\frac{1}{2.5} = 0.4\), write \(0.000025 = 2.5 \times 10^{-5}\). Then
\[ \frac{1}{0.000025} = \frac{1}{2.5} \times 10^{5} \]\[ = 0.4 \times 100000 = 40000 \]4000 and 400 come from using the wrong power of ten, and 400000 comes from one power too many.
Another way: 0.000025 is 25 millionths, and \(\frac{1}{25 \times 10^{-6}} = \frac{10^{6}}{25} = 40000\). This agrees with the first method, which makes the answer 40000 and rules out 4000 and 400 (too small by factors of ten and a hundred) and 400000 (ten times too large).
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line y = -3x + 4?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The given line is in the form y = mx + c, so its slope (m₁) is -3.
If two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is -1. Let the slope of the perpendicular line be m₂.
m₁ × m₂ = -1
-3 × m₂ = -1
m₂ = \(\frac{-1}{-3} = \frac{1}{3}\).
The symmetric difference of two sets A and B, denoted A Δ B, is defined as:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The symmetric difference of A and B is the set of elements which are in either of the sets, but not in their intersection.
This can be expressed in two common ways:
1. A Δ B = (A ∪ B) - (A ∩ B)
2. A Δ B = (A - B) ∪ (B - A)
Option B matches the first definition.
The product of the ages of Syam and Sunil is 240. If twice the age of Sunil is more than Syam's age by 4 years, what is Sunil's age?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Let age of Sunil = \(x \) years and age of syam be = \(y\) years
\(x y = 240 ⋯ ( 1 )\)
\(2 x = y + 4\)
\(⇒ y = 2 x − 4\)
\(⇒ y = 2 ( x − 2 ) ⋯ ( 2 )\)
Substituting equation \((2)\) in equation \((1)\) we get ,
\(x × 2 ( x − 2 ) = 240\)
\(⇒ x ( x − 2 ) = \) \(\frac{240}{2}\)
\(⇒ x ( x − 2 ) = 120 ⋯ ( 3 )\)
We got a quadratic equation to solve.
Always time is precious and objective tests measure not only how accurate you are but also how fast you are. We can solve this quadratic equation in the traditional way.
But it is more easy to substitute the values given in the choices in the quadratic equation (equation 3) and see which choice satisfy the equation.
Here, option A is 10. If we substitute that value in the quadratic equation,
\(x ( x − 2 ) = 10 × 8\) which is not equal to 120
Now try option B which is 12. If we substitute that value in the quadratic equation,
\(x
(

Hence Sunil's age = 12
Reasoning [ Question No: 5 To 7 ] :
A statement is given, followed by two possible reasons numbered I and II. Read the statement carefully and decide which of the two explains the event/observation/information given in the statement. Statement: A fly-over was built in city A in the year 2018. Reasons: I.A fly-over was built in city X in the same year. II.The opposition party in that particular state, where city A is located, had 'constructing 7 flyovers' in their 2019 election manifesto.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Neither reason explains the statement. Reason I says a fly-over was built in city X in the same year, which is a different city and gives no cause for the building in city A. Reason II concerns a promise in the 2019 election manifesto, which comes after the 2018 construction and so cannot have caused it.
Since neither is a possible cause, the answer is 'Neither I nor II is a possible reason'. Choosing only I, only II or both would accept a link that the facts do not support.
In the following question, a statement/group of statements is given followed by some conclusions. Without resolving anything yourself, choose the conclusion which logically follows from the statement(s).
Statement - Many creative persons become painter.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Some painters are creative persons.
If many creative people become painters, then at least some painters are creative - a converse that is safe because it is limited to “some”. The other three all overreach: “many” does not mean every creative person becomes a painter, it says nothing about whether creativity is necessary for art, and it certainly does not imply that little creativity is needed.
third step in decision making process is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: making predictions
The five steps run: identify the problem and the uncertainties; obtain information; make predictions about the future; choose among alternatives; and implement, evaluate and learn. Prediction is the third because it depends on the information gathered in the second and must precede the choice made in the fourth.

Which one of the following words is most similar in meaning to the phrase 'liquid getting thick' as used in the passage ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The word closest to 'liquid getting thick' is coagulate.
The passage says 'The blood coagulates at that time', meaning the liquid blood thickens and clots.
'Savage' means wild, 'contained' means held within, and 'triggered' means set off. None means becoming thick.

Computer Awareness [ Question No: 10 To 15 ] :
Protection of data from a natural disaster such as a tornado belongs to which of the following network issue ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: Reliability
Whether the network keeps working through failures - equipment faults, power cuts, natural disasters - is a question of reliability. Security concerns deliberate attack and performance concerns speed.
Which of these connects a computer to a network?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Network interface card
A network interface card connects a computer to a network, either by Ethernet cable or wirelessly. It is now built into almost every motherboard rather than being a separate card, though the name persists. Every NIC carries a MAC address, a 48-bit identifier assigned at manufacture and written as six pairs of hexadecimal digits. It identifies the hardware itself and does not change when the machine moves to a different network - unlike an IP address, which is assigned by the network and does change. The two work at different layers: the MAC address delivers a frame within a local network, and the IP address routes a packet between networks. The other cards named are expansion cards serving different purposes: a sound card handles audio input and output, a graphics card renders the display, and a TV tuner receives broadcast signals. All plug into PCI Express slots on the motherboard.
What is the full form of "Wi-fi"?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: Wireless Fidelity
Wi-Fi is commonly expanded as Wireless Fidelity, on the model of Hi-Fi, though it was coined as a brand name for the IEEE 802.11 standards rather than as an abbreviation.

Vertical alignment - whether text sits at the top of the page, in the centre, or is justified down its height - is a property of the page, and is set on the Layout tab of Page Setup. The paragraph dialog controls horizontal alignment instead.
The auto calculate feature
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: Provides a quick way to view the result of an arithmetic operation on a range of cells
AutoCalculate shows the sum, average, count, maximum or minimum of the selected cells on the status bar. It only displays the result; nothing is written into the sheet.
Which DOS command allows you to compress existing disks and to create new compressed volumes?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: DBLSPACE
DBLSPACE is DOS 6’s disk compression: it can compress an existing drive in place or create a new compressed volume, storing the data in a hidden compressed volume file that a driver presents as an ordinary drive letter. DEFRAG only rearranges files and SCANDISK only checks them.
General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 16 To 20 ] :
Nylon threads are made of
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Nylon threads are made of a polyamide polymer.
Nylon is a synthetic polymer whose repeating units are joined by amide (-CO-NH-) links. Nylon-6,6, for example, is made by condensing hexamethylenediamine with adipic acid. It was the first fully synthetic fibre and is strong, elastic and resistant to wear.
Polyesters such as terylene have ester links, polyethylene is the plastic polythene, and polyvinyl polymers include PVC; none of them is nylon.
Who led the Mughal forces in the Battle of Haldighati?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The Mughal forces at Haldighati were led by Man Singh I.
In the Battle of Haldighati in June 1576, Akbar's army was commanded by Raja Man Singh of Amber, with Asaf Khan, against Maharana Pratap of Mewar. The battle was indecisive in the long run, as Pratap escaped and continued his resistance.
Rana Sanga was Pratap's grandfather, who fought Babur at Khanwa in 1527. Rao Jaimal and Patta were the defenders of Chittor during Akbar's siege of 1567-68, fighting against the Mughals, not leading them.
Which of the following associations was set up for the regeneration of the social conditions of Parsees?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The Rahnumai Mazdayasnan Sabha was set up in 1851 in Bombay by Parsi reformers, among them Naoroji Furdunji, Dadabhai Naoroji and S. S. Bengalee, to reform the social and religious condition of the Parsis, including education and the status of women. The Brahmo Samaj and the Prarthana Samaj were Hindu reform movements, and the Theosophical Society was a spiritual society of international scope, so the question points only to the Sabha.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The leaves are called the lungs of a plant.
They take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen through the stomata, and the same pores admit the oxygen the plant needs for its own respiration. Their broad thin form gives the surface area the exchange requires.
