Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow the passage. Your answer should be based on the passage only.
The literary distaste for politics, however seems to be focused not so much on the largely murky practice of politics in itself as a subject of literary representation but rather more on how it is often depicted in literature i.e. on the very politics of such representation. A political drama often turns out to be not merely to show readers how things are but has fairly definite ideas about how things ought to be, and precisely what one should think and do in order to make things move in that desired direction. In short, it seeks to convert and enlist the reader to a particular cause or ideology; it often is not literature but propaganda. Another reason why politics does not seem amenable to the highest kind of literary representation seems to arise from the fact that politics by its very nature is constituted of ideas and ideologies. Literature, it is argued, is about human experiences rather than about intellectual abstractions; it deals in what is called the 'felt reality' of human flesh and blood, and in sap and savour rather than in arid and lifeless ideas. In an extensive discussion of the matter in her book Ideas and the Novel, the American novelist Mary McCarthy observed that ideas are still today felt to be unsightly in the novel though that was not so in the 18th and 19th centuries.

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 3 ] :
If January 1st is a Friday, then what is the first day of the month of March in a leap year ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
March 1 falls on a Tuesday.
Count the days from 1 January to 1 March in a leap year: 31 days of January and 29 of February, 60 days in all. 60 = 8 weeks + 4 days, so 1 March is 4 days after the weekday of 1 January.
Friday + 4 days = Tuesday. In an ordinary year the gap is 59 days (3 odd days) and the answer would be Monday, which is why the leap day matters; Wednesday, Thursday and Friday come from miscounting the odd days.
In how many ways a committee, consisting of 5 men and 6 women can be formed from 8 men and 10 women?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The men and the women are chosen from separate pools, so the counts multiply.
\[ {}^{8}C_{5} \times {}^{10}C_{6} \]
\[ = 56 \times 210 = 11{,}760 \]
Using \( {}^{8}C_{3} \) and \( {}^{10}C_{4} \) gives the same values, since choosing whom to include is equivalent to choosing whom to leave out.
The sum of the probabilities of all elementary events of an experiment is p, then
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The elementary events of an experiment are mutually exclusive and between them cover every possible outcome, so their probabilities must account for the whole.
\[ p = 1 \]
This is the normalisation axiom of probability. Any set of assignments summing to less or more than 1 is not a valid probability distribution.

The given statements are followed by two conclusions. Mark the appropriate answer.
Statement: C = D, D ≤ E ≤ B, E = F
Conclusions:
I. B > D
II. B = D
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: Either Conclusion a or b follows
The statements give \( C = D \), \( D \le E \le B \) and \( E = F \). Both conclusions compare B with D, so assemble that run: \[ D \le E \le B. \] Every link is weak, so the most that follows is \( B \ge D \).
Conclusion I claims \( B > D \) and conclusion II claims \( B = D \). Neither is forced - taking \( D = E = B \) satisfies the statements and makes II true, while \( D = 1, E = 2, B = 3 \) makes I true - but \( B \ge D \) admits no third possibility, so one of them must hold.
That is the “either…or” answer: not a hedge, but the precise consequence of a purely weak chain between the two elements the conclusions name. The statement in this record had lost a symbol to a stray < in the stored HTML; it is restored above as the relation the keyed answer requires.

Statement: Money is the root cause of all the problems in a family.
Assumptions:
1. Every problem is caused by something.
2. There are always some problems in a family.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The statement mentions the cause of family problems and does not deal with all the problems. So, I is not implicit. Also, it is mentioned that money is the cause of family problems. But this does not mean that problems always exist in a family. So, II is also not implicit.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: 430
The gaps rise by ten each time: \( 100-10=90 \), \( 200-100=100 \), \( 310-200=110 \). The next gap is 120, giving \[ 310 + 120 = \mathbf{430} \]
Work out the spacing within a pair and the spacing between pairs, then name the pair that follows.
BD, FH, JL, NP, ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: RT
Each pair holds two letters two places apart, and successive pairs begin four places apart: B, F, J, N. The next begins at R, giving RT. Writing the starting letters alone - B, F, J, N, R - makes the outer pattern obvious and reduces the problem to reproducing the internal gap. RS narrows that gap to one and is the usual error. Every letter used lies at an even position, so the whole series is drawn from the same half of the alphabet, which is a useful check on any candidate answer.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
According to the passage, literature deals with the felt reality of human life.
The passage says literature is about human experiences rather than intellectual abstractions and that it deals in what is called the 'felt reality' of human flesh and blood. The felt reality of human life is that phrase put in short form.
Options that include intellectual abstractions contradict the passage, which sets abstractions against literature. 'Human experiences in politics' narrows the statement to politics, although the passage says literature is about human experiences in general, and 'individual experiences' is not the passage's term.

In questions given below out of four alternatives, choose the one which can be substituted for the given word/sentence.
A person who has promised to marry somebody.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
It is betrothed.
Betrothed means bound by a promise of marriage, from the Middle English for pledging one's truth. Affianced and engaged carry the same sense, but betrothed is the word the definition asks for; a fiance is the person, not the state.
In the following items (questions), some parts of the sentences have jumbled up. You are required to rearrange these parts, which are labelled 'P', 'Q', 'R' and 'S' to produce the correct sentences.
The doctor prescribed (P) for over an hour (Q) having examined the patient (R) some antibiotics (S)
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The correct sequence is RQPS.
R (having examined the patient) + Q (for over an hour) + P (the doctor prescribed) + S (some antibiotics) gives Having examined the patient for over an hour, the doctor prescribed some antibiotics.
The participle phrase 'having examined' shows the earlier action and opens the sentence; 'for over an hour' says how long the examination took. The other orders separate 'prescribed' from its object or attach 'for over an hour' to the prescribing.

In MS Word, which of these is a valid page orientation?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: Landscape
Word offers exactly two orientations: Portrait, taller than it is wide, and Landscape, wider than it is tall. Portrait is the default. Landscape is chosen for wide tables, charts and timelines that would not otherwise fit across the page. The practical point worth knowing is how to mix the two. Orientation is a section property, so a single landscape page inside a portrait document requires a section break before and after it - a Next Page break in each case - after which the orientation of that section alone can be changed. Simply selecting the page and changing orientation does not work without them. Orientation is set from the Layout tab, alongside margins, paper size and columns. It also affects headers and footers, which reflow to the new width, and can require the page numbering to be checked afterwards.
General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 14 To 20 ] :
The percentage of earth surface covered by India is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
India covers about 2.4 per cent of the earth's land surface.
With an area of about 3.287 million sq km, India is the seventh largest country in the world and holds about 2.4 per cent of the world's land area, while supporting about 17-18 per cent of its population.
3.4, 4.4 and 5.4 per cent are too large. The question says 'earth surface', meaning its land area; India's share of the whole surface including oceans would be much smaller still.
Which one of the following pair is not correctly matched ?
Mountain Peak - Continent
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The pair not correctly matched is Elbrus - Asia.
Mount Elbrus (about 5,642 m) is in the Caucasus range in Russia and is usually counted as the highest peak in Europe, not Asia.
The other pairs are correct: Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa (Tanzania), Mount McKinley (now officially Denali) the highest in North America (Alaska), and Aconcagua the highest in South America (Argentina).
Which of the following forests is normally not found in Rajasthan ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The forest not found in Rajasthan is the mangrove forest.
Mangroves grow only in tidal, brackish water along sea coasts and deltas, such as the Sundarbans and the Gulf of Kutch. Rajasthan is landlocked, so it has no mangroves.
The other three are found in the state. Tropical thorn forests cover the dry west and north-west, with khejri, babul and ber. Tropical dry deciduous forests grow in the Aravallis and the south-east, with dhok, teak and salar. Sub-tropical mountain (hill) forests are found around Mount Abu, the only place in Rajasthan high and moist enough for them.
Who formulated the criteria of 'jail cost of living'?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Dadabhai Naoroji formulated the idea of a jail cost of living standard when estimating India's per capita income in his work on poverty under British rule, taking the cost of feeding prisoners as the minimum cost of living. Jawaharlal Nehru, Tilak and Gokhale are not credited with this criterion. The idea underlies his argument that the income of an average Indian was barely enough for subsistence, because even the diet given to a prisoner in jail cost more than the average income of a person outside.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The president can be removed only on a charge brought and sustained by the two Houses of Parliament.
Either House may prefer the charge by a two-thirds majority of its total membership; the other House then investigates and must pass the same resolution. Neither the Supreme Court nor the council of ministers has any role.
