Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 4 ] :
The fractions \(\frac{44}{49}, \frac{33}{38}, \frac{22}{25}\) and \(\frac{24}{29}\) are written in descending order as
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The descending order is \(\frac{44}{49}, \frac{22}{25}, \frac{33}{38}, \frac{24}{29}\).
Each fraction is 1 minus a small fraction, so the fraction with the smallest gap from 1 is the largest:
\[ \begin{aligned} \tfrac{44}{49} &= 1 - \tfrac{5}{49} \approx 0.898 \\ \tfrac{22}{25} &= 1 - \tfrac{3}{25} = 0.880 \\ \tfrac{33}{38} &= 1 - \tfrac{5}{38} \approx 0.868 \\ \tfrac{24}{29} &= 1 - \tfrac{5}{29} \approx 0.828 \end{aligned} \]
The order 44/49, 33/38, 24/29, 22/25 wrongly puts 22/25 last because its numbers are small. The other two options run in ascending or mixed order.
1233210 ÷ 5555 − 222 is equal to :
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The value is 0.
Division comes before subtraction. Since \(5555 \times 222 = 1233210\):
\[ 1233210 \div 5555 - 222 = 222 - 222 = 0 \]
The other options come from slips in the division. Subtracting first, \(5555 - 222\), is not allowed by the order of operations.
Successive discounts of 20% and 15% are equivalent to a single discount of
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Successive discounts multiply the retained fractions.
\[ (1 - 0.20)(1 - 0.15) = 0.80 \times 0.85 = 0.68 \]
\[ \text{single equivalent discount} = 1 - 0.68 = 0.32 = 32\% \]
The general formula is
\[ a + b - \frac{ab}{100} = 20 + 15 - \frac{300}{100} = 32\% \]
Simply adding the two gives 35%, which is why that value is offered; 68% is the fraction retained, not the discount.
The volume of a wall, 5 times as high as it is broad and 8 times as long as it is high, is 12.8 cu. meters. Find the breadth of the wall.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Let the breadth be \( b \). Then the height is \( 5b \) and the length \( 8 \times 5b = 40b \).
\[ V = b \times 5b \times 40b = 200b^{3} = 12.8 \]
\[ b^{3} = 0.064 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad b = 0.4 \text{ m} = 40 \text{ cm} \]
"Eight times as long as it is high" refers to the height \( 5b \), not the breadth - reading it as \( 8b \) would give a different wall.

D and P cannot go together.
C cannot go with Q.
If the term is to consist of one advocate, two doctors, three teachers and C may not go with T, the members of the team are :
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The advocates are A, B and R; doctors are C, D, P, Q, S; teachers are E, T and U.
The term consists of 3 teachers i.e. E, T, U.
Now, A, P, and U have to be together.
E and Q have to be together.
Thus, the team is A E P Q T U.

Correct Answer : C
The error is in to have moved up from 50 million to 200 million sticks per day.
Sales are estimated to have moved is correct in itself, but the sentence has run two clauses together without a conjunction after Gold Flake Kings; the perfect infinitive is left without a properly formed subject to attach to.
Cars are efficient, _______________________ (CONVENIENCE) and fast.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: Convenient
The blank sits in a list of adjectives - efficient, ___ and fast - so the adjective form of CONVENIENCE is required. Conveyance is a noun, and a different word besides.
In the following question , a part of the sentence has been underlined. Replace the underlined part with the most appropriate choice from the four options provided below. In case no improvement is required, choose the option marked ‘no improvement needed’.

Correct Answer : A
It is bury.
To bury is to put underground. A berry is the fruit, and in most accents the two are pronounced alike.
Computer Awareness [ Question No: 11 To 14 ] :
Computer A having clock cycle time of 250 ps and cycle per instruction of 2.0 for some programs, and computer B having clock cycle time of 500 ps and a cycle per instruction of 1.2 for same program. Which one is faster for this program
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Computer A
Compare the time per instruction, which is the clock cycle time multiplied by the cycles per instruction:
\[ A: 250\ \text{ps}\times 2.0=500\ \text{ps} \qquad B: 500\ \text{ps}\times 1.2=600\ \text{ps} \]
A takes 500 ps per instruction against B's 600, so A is the faster machine by a factor of 600/500 = 1.2. Note that B has the better CPI and A the better clock; neither figure decides the question by itself.
The feature of Word that automatically adjusts the amount of space between certain combination of characters so that an entire word looks more evenly spaced. What is that feature called?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: Kerning
Kerning adjusts the space between particular pairs of letters - AV, To, Ye - so that the word looks evenly spaced. Ordinary spacing applies the same adjustment between every pair, which is why the two are different settings.

Which of the following is not included in Development expenditure of the Central government
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Defence expenditure is not development expenditure.
Development expenditure covers economic services, social and community services, and grants to states for such purposes - all of which add to productive capacity or human capital. Defence, like interest payments and administration, is non-development expenditure.

The study of how traits are transmitted from one generation to the next is genetics.
Mendel founded it with his work on peas; William Bateson coined the name in 1905. Homology and analogy belong to comparative anatomy, ecology to the study of organisms in their surroundings.

Correct Answer : C
The two are separated by sublimation.
Iodine passes straight from solid to violet vapour on warming and recondenses as crystals on a cold surface, while potassium chloride, being non-volatile, stays behind. Filtration and sedimentation need one component to be insoluble in a liquid, and neither substance is a liquid to distil.

Humus in soil is best described as
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Decomposed organic matter
Humus is the dark, stable organic material left when plant and animal remains have been broken down by soil organisms - the end product of decomposition rather than a stage in it. It does a great deal for a very small share of the soil by weight. It holds nutrients in a form plants can draw on and releases them slowly; it retains many times its own weight in water; it binds mineral particles into crumbs, which improves both aeration and drainage; and its dark colour helps the soil warm in spring. It accumulates in the upper A horizon, which is why topsoil is dark and fertile and subsoil is not. Grassland soils such as the chernozems of the Prairies and Steppes are the richest in it. Bedrock is the R horizon at the base of the profile, and clay is a mineral fraction defined by particle size, not an organic component.
