Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 6 ] :
Mrs. Smitha celebrated her wedding anniversary on 15th September 2015. When will she celebrate her next wedding anniversary on same day (Tuesday) ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The next Tuesday anniversary falls in 2020.
A date moves forward one weekday each year, and two when a 29 February falls in between. Starting from Tuesday, 15 September 2015:
- 2016: +2 (leap year), Thursday
- 2017: +1, Friday
- 2018: +1, Saturday
- 2019: +1, Sunday
- 2020: +2 (leap year), Tuesday
The total shift is 7 days, a whole week, so 15 September 2020 is again a Tuesday. 2021 is a year too many, and 2019 falls on a Sunday.
One of the factors of \(20pq^{2} + 4pq + 45pr^{2} - 60pqr - 6rp\) is :
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
One factor is 2q - 3r.
Take out p, then group the terms:
\[ \begin{aligned} &p(20q^2 - 60qr + 45r^2 + 4q - 6r) \\ &= p[5(2q - 3r)^2 + 2(2q - 3r)] \\ &= p(2q - 3r)(10q - 15r + 2) \end{aligned} \]
So the factors are p, 2q - 3r and 10q - 15r + 2. Option 2, 2r - 3q, swaps the letters, and options 1 and 4 have p in place of q.
If 8A5146B is divisible by 88, then what is the value of B-A?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: 1
Since \(88 = 8 \times 11\), both tests must pass.
Divisibility by 8. The last three digits are 46B, that is \(460 + B\). Because \(460 = 8\times 57 + 4\), we need \(4 + B \equiv 0 \pmod 8\), so \(B = 4\).
Divisibility by 11. With \(B = 4\), take the alternating sum of 8A5146B from the right:
\[(4 + 4 + 5 + 8) - (6 + 1 + A) = 21 - (7 + A) = 14 - A\]
This must be 0 or a multiple of 11. Only \(14 - A = 11\) leaves \(A\) a digit, so \(A = 3\).
The number is 8351464, and \(8351464 \div 88 = 94903\). Hence \(B - A = 4 - 3 = 1\).
The joint probability is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Joint probability is the probability that two events occur together, written \( P(A \cap B) \).
The second option describes conditional probability, \( P(A \mid B) \); mutual exclusivity would make the joint probability zero; and prior probability is the belief held before new evidence, a term from Bayes' theorem.
The area of a triangle is with base 4m and height 5m?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 5 = 10 \text{ m}^{2} \]
The factor of one half is what distinguishes the triangle from the rectangle on the same base and height, whose area would be 20 m².
A man goes to Mumbai from Pune at a speed of 4 km/hr and returns to Pune at speed of 6km/hr. What is his average speed of the entire journey?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Average speed is total distance over total time, which for two equal legs is the harmonic mean, not the arithmetic one:
\[ \bar{v} = \frac{2v_{1}v_{2}}{v_{1} + v_{2}} \]
\[ \bar{v} = \frac{2 \times 4 \times 6}{4 + 6} = \frac{48}{10} = 4.8 \text{ km/hr} \]
The arithmetic mean of 5 km/hr is too high, because more time is spent on the slow leg - the average always falls below it.

Study the following information and answer the questions given below:
M, N, P, R, T, W, F and H are sitting around a circle facing the centre. P is third to the left of M and second to the right of T. N is second to the right of P. R is second to the right of W, who is second to the right of M. F is not an immediate neighbour of P.
Who is third to the right of H?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: F
Facing the centre, each person’s left is the next seat clockwise and their right the next seat anticlockwise. Place M, then P three seats to M’s left; T two seats beyond P, N two the other way, W two to M’s right and R two to W’s right. Only two seats remain, and F cannot be P’s neighbour, so F takes the far one and H the near one. Clockwise the circle reads M → N → H → P → R → T → W → F.
Counting three seats to H’s right - anticlockwise - gives N, M, F.
Direction for [ Question No: 8 To 8 ] :
For the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) below, choose the correct alternative.
Assertion (A) : In India, females have higher life expectancy than the males.
Reason (R) : Females receive a better diet.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: A is true but R is false.
Indian women do outlive Indian men - life expectancy at birth is around three years higher for females - so A is true. But the cause is not diet: nutritional discrimination generally runs the other way, and the advantage is largely biological. R is false.

In each of the following questions, there is a certain relationship between two given words on one side of : : and one word is given on another side of : : while another word is to be found from the given alternatives, having the same relation with this word as the words of the given pair bear.Choose the correct alternatives.
Touch : Feel : : Greet : ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: Acknowledge
The relation is action : what it amounts to. To touch is to feel; to greet is to acknowledge another’s presence. A smile is one way of greeting rather than what greeting means.
Five children – P, Q, R, S and T – live on five different floors (numbered 1 to 5) of a building but not necessarily in the same order. Each one of them has got different marks in a test – 35, 56, 72, 81 and 93 – but not necessarily in the same order. R lives on an even numbered floor but not floor number 2 and did not get 72 marks. S lives on the floor immediately above Q. Two children live between R and the one who got 93 marks. One child lives between the ones who got 93 and 56 marks, respectively. Q got the highest marks and T got 35 marks. Who got 72 marks?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
S got 72 marks. R lives on an even floor that is not 2, so R is on floor 4. Two children live between R and the one with 93 marks, so the 93-mark child is on floor 1. One child lives between the 93-mark and 56-mark children, so 56 marks belong to the child on floor 3. Q got the highest marks, 93, so Q is on floor 1, and S lives immediately above Q on floor 2. T got 35 marks.
The remaining children P and T take floors 3 and 5. The 56-mark child is on floor 3 and T has 35, so T is on floor 5 and P is on floor 3 with 56. R on floor 4 did not get 72, so R has 81, and the last mark, 72, goes to S. P, T and Q hold 56, 35 and 93, so options A, C and D are wrong.
Statement:
Start to think of travelling by train for a holiday. A train journey can give one a better view of places on the way which an air journey cannot give.
Conclusions:
I. While going for a holiday, people want to enjoy the view of the places on the way.
II. People should not travel by air when they are going for a holiday.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: if neither I nor II follows.
The statement recommends the train on one ground, the view. Conclusion I converts that into a claim about what people actually want on holiday, which is the advertiser’s hope rather than a fact established by the statement. Conclusion II turns a comparison into a prohibition; saying the train offers something the aeroplane cannot is a long way from saying nobody should fly.
Pointing to a photograph, a man said, “I have no brother or sister, but that man’s father is my father’s son.” Whose photograph is it ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: His son’s
Since the speaker has no brother, “my father’s son” must be the speaker himself. So the man in the photograph has the speaker as his father, which makes the photograph that of his son.

Ten thousand rupees are too large a sum for such a small repair.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: is
When a plural expression of money, time, distance or weight is treated as a single quantity, it takes a singular verb. Ten thousand rupees here is one sum, so is is correct. The same applies to twenty years is a long time, ten kilometres is a long walk, fifty kilos is heavy and three hours is enough. In each the plural noun names one measured amount rather than several separate items. The verb turns plural only when the individual units are genuinely in view: the ten thousand rupees were counted note by note. The principle behind it is that agreement follows meaning rather than form wherever the two diverge - the same principle that lets a collective noun take a singular or plural verb according to whether the group acts as one body or as individuals.

Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words. Short form of a word or phrase
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The word is Abbreviation.
An abbreviation is a short form of a word or phrase. Correlation is a relationship, slang is informal language and expansion is the opposite of shortening.
So only abbreviation fits.
The word comes from the Latin 'abbreviare', to shorten. Examples are 'Dr.' for Doctor and 'etc.' for et cetera. An acronym such as NASA is a kind of abbreviation that is read as a word.
Computer Awareness [ Question No: 19 To 20 ] :
What is the function of a web browser’s cache ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: To store copies of recently visited page resources for faster reloading
The cache keeps images, stylesheets and scripts on disk so a revisited page need not fetch them again. This is why clearing the cache can fix a page that appears to be displaying an outdated version.
In which addressing mode the contents of a register specified in the instruction are first decremented, and then these contents are used as the effective address of the operands?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: auto decrement
In auto-decrement addressing the register named in the instruction is first stepped back and only then used as the effective address. The order matters: decrement-then-use is what makes it the natural complement of auto-increment for pushing onto a stack that grows downwards.
