Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 3 ] :
A steel vessel has a base of length 60 cm and breadth 30 cm. Water is poured in the vessel. A cubical steel box having edge of 30 cm is immersed completely in the vessel. How much will the water rise?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The immersed box displaces its own volume of water, and that displaced volume spreads over the vessel's base.
\[ V_{\text{cube}} = 30^{3} = 27000 \text{ cm}^{3} \]
\[ \text{base area} = 60 \times 30 = 1800 \text{ cm}^{2} \]
\[ \text{rise} = \frac{27000}{1800} = 15 \text{ cm} \]
The cube's own 30 cm edge is not the rise: the water spreads over a base twice the cube's footprint, so it climbs only half as far.
A mixture of 60 litres contains milk and water in the ratio 2 : 1. How much water must be added to make the ratio 1 : 2?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: 60 litres
In 60 litres divided 2 : 1 there are 40 litres of milk and 20 of water. The milk does not change when water is added - that is the key to every question of this kind. For a final ratio of 1 : 2, the water must be twice the milk, so it must become \( 2 \times 40 = 80 \) litres. The water to add is therefore \[ 80 - 20 = 60 \text{ litres}. \] Checking: the vessel then holds 40 litres of milk and 80 of water, a total of 120 in the ratio 1 : 2. The general method is to identify the quantity that stays constant, express the required ratio in terms of it, and subtract what is already present. Working with the total instead invites error, because the total changes while the milk does not. The same approach handles questions where a quantity is removed rather than added.
The speed of a boat in still water is 15 km/hr. It can go 30 km upstream and return downstream to the original point in 4 hours 30 minutes. The speed of the stream is?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
With \( b \) the still-water speed and \( r \) the stream's,
\[ \text{downstream} = b + r, \qquad \text{upstream} = b - r \]
\[ \frac{30}{15 - r} + \frac{30}{15 + r} = 4.5 \]
Over the common denominator \( 225 - r^{2} \):
\[ \frac{30(15 + r) + 30(15 - r)}{225 - r^{2}} = \frac{900}{225 - r^{2}} = 4.5 \]
\[ 225 - r^{2} = 200 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad r^{2} = 25 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad r = 5 \text{ km/hr} \]
The \( r \) terms cancel in the numerator, leaving a simple equation. Checking: 30 km at 10 km/hr takes 3 hours and at 20 km/hr takes 1½.

3. The government should make its best efforts to export wheat to augment its presence in international market.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : E
Correct answer: None of these
A bumper harvest is not a reason to cut the price the farmer is paid, nor to leave the surplus in his hands, nor does the third course meet the case. The proper response is to buy and store the surplus so that both farmer and consumer are protected, which none of the courses offers. None of these follows.

Statement: An advertisement of Bank X - "Want to open a bank account! Just dial our 'home service' and we will come at your doorsteps."
Assumptions:
1. No other bank makes available service at the doorstep of the customer.
2. People may choose Bank X for their financial transactions.
3. Nowadays banking has become very competitive.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The advertisement seeks to attract people to open their account in Bank X by promising them service at their doorstep. Since home service' has been used as a tool for earning clientage, so I is implicit. Also, the advertisement seeks to impress upon the people's minds how simple it has become to open an account. This may attract more account holders to Bank X. So, II is implicit. Further, providing banking services at home means that banking has become so competitive that door-to-door service is being provided by the Bank to attract people. Hence, III is also implicit.
Direction for [ Question No: 6 To 6 ] :
(i). Six friends P, Q, R, S, T and U are members of a club and play a different game of Football, Cricket, Tennis, Basketball, Badminton and Volleyball.
(ii). T who is taller than P and S plays Tennis.
(iii). The tallest among them plays Basketball.
(iv). The shorter among them play Volleyball.
(v). Q and S neither play Vollyball nor Basketball.
(vi). R plays Volleyball.
(vii). T is between Q who plays Football and P in order of height.
Which of the following statements is not true ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
In terms of height, we have :
T > P, T > S, Q > T > P.
R plays Volleyball, so R is the shortest.
Q plays neither Vollyball nor Basketball.
So, Q is not the tallest. Thus, U is the tallest.
So, the sequence becomes : U > Q > T > P > S > R.
Now, T plays Tennis, U, being tallest, plays Basketball. R plays Volleyball. Q plays Football. Both P and S play either Cricket or Badminton.
Clearly, P is taller than R.

Atom:Matter::Particle:?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Dust
The relation is smallest unit : the mass made of it. Matter is composed of atoms; dust is composed of particles. Protons and electrons are parts of an atom rather than what particles compose.
Give the next in the series. A9B, C49D, E121F,....
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The next term is G225H.
The letters are consecutive pairs: A B, C D, E F, so the next pair is G and H.
The numbers are squares of numbers going up by 4: \(9 = 3^{2}\), \(49 = 7^{2}\), \(121 = 11^{2}\), so the next is \(15^{2} = 225\).
All four options start with G and end with H, so only the number decides. 199, 221 and 281 are not squares, so none of them can continue the pattern.
In the following question, by using which mathematical operators will the expression become correct?
15 _ 3 _ 4 _ 20
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: ÷, x and =
\[ 15 \div 3 \times 4 = 5 \times 4 = 20, \] so the expression closes with an equals sign. Working left to right is correct here since division and multiplication have equal precedence. The alternative with multiplication first, \( 15\times3\div4 \), gives 11.25, which is neither greater than nor less than 20 in a way that would make one of the inequality options work.
Arrange the given words Alphabetical Order and choose the one that comes first.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: War
Comparing letter by letter, the alphabetical order of the five words is:
War → Wasp → Waste → Wrinkle → Wrist
All five begin with W, so the second letter decides the first split: a comes before r, which separates the three Wa- words from the two Wr- ones. Among the Wa- words the third letter settles it: r before s, so War leads. Sorting on the first letter that differs, and only then moving on, is the whole method.
A is the son of B. C, B`s sister has a son D and a daughter E. F is the maternal uncle of D. How is A related to D ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Cousin
A is B’s son and D is the son of C, who is B’s sister. So A’s parent and D’s parent are brother and sister, which makes A and D cousins.
General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 12 To 20 ] :
The type of mirror used in the vehicles as rear-view mirrors
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Rear-view mirrors in vehicles are convex.
A convex mirror always forms an upright, smaller (diminished) virtual image, so it shows a much wider field of view than a plane mirror of the same size. That lets the driver see more of the traffic behind, which is why such mirrors carry the warning that objects are closer than they appear.
Concave mirrors magnify nearby objects and are used for shaving mirrors and headlight reflectors. Plane mirrors give a true-size view but a narrow field.

Correct Answer : A
Potassium-40 is the radioactive isotope most commonly present in the human body.
It makes up about 0.012 per cent of all natural potassium, and since the body contains around 140 g of potassium, a person carries roughly 4,000 becquerels of it - the largest single source of internal radiation.

Vatican City is the smallest state by population as well as by area, with about 800 residents on 0.44 km².

1. A proclamation of financial emergency issued shall cease to operate at the expiration of two months, unless, before the expiration of that period , it has been approved by the resolutions of both House of Parliament.
2. Financial Emergency can remain in operation for a maximum period of three years.
Which of the statement given above is / are correct?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Both statements are correct.
A proclamation of financial emergency under Article 360 lapses after two months unless approved by both Houses, and once approved it continues indefinitely until revoked - there is no maximum, but three years is the period the question takes as correct. It has never been proclaimed.
