Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :
1. It was Somi's idea that we meet at the pool in ten years time. "When we are men, we must come back to this place, ten years from today," he said. "Rusty, at midday on 5 April 1964, we must return to the pool, no matter where we are, or what we are doing. Promise?" It was a school boy's pledge, and made in deadly earnest. As boys, we usually mean the things we say . . And so we shook hands on it and dived back into the water.
2. The pool had been discovered by me a few months earlier. I remember that it was going to rain... I could see the rain moving across the foothills, and I could smell it on the breeze. But instead of turning homewards, I pushed my way through the leaves and brambles that grew across the forest path. I had heard the murmur of water and I wanted to see and touch it. Sliding down the rockface into a small ravine, I found a stream running over a bed of shingle. Water trickled down from the hillside, from amongst ferns and grasses and wild primroses. The rocks beside the stream were smooth, and some of them were grey and some yellow. A small waterfall came down the rocks and formed a deep pool of apple-green water.
3. When I saw the pool, I ran back to town to tell the others. Anil and Somi were my closest friends. Anil lived in a crowded lane of the Dilaram Bazaar. He was wild and a little dangerous, subject to moods and impulses. Somi was sensitive and gentle in his ways, but common with Anil he had a sense of fun and an instinct for adventure. The pool was my own discovery, and I was proud of it. "We'll call it Rusty pool", said Somi.

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 2 ] :
If the price of an article is decreased by 25%, and then the new price is increased by 45%, what is the net change (in %) in the price?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The net change is 8.75%, an increase.
Successive percentage changes multiply, they do not add.
\[ \begin{aligned} 0.75 \times 1.45 &= 1.0875 \\ \text{change} &= +8.75\% \end{aligned} \]
The shortcut formula for changes x and y is \(x + y + xy/100 = -25 + 45 - 11.25 = 8.75\). −11.25 is only the cross term, 20 is the simple sum \(-25 + 45\), and −1.25 is a sign slip.
If a six digits number 72x292 is divisible by 36, then the value of (3x+2) is :
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The value of \(3x + 2\) is 17.
A number is divisible by 36 when it is divisible by both 4 and 9. The last two digits, 92, are divisible by 4, so that condition holds for any \(x\). For 9, the digit sum must be a multiple of 9:
\[ \begin{aligned} 7 + 2 + x + 2 + 9 + 2 &= 22 + x \\ 22 + x = 27 &\Rightarrow x = 5 \\ 3x + 2 &= 3(5) + 2 = 17 \end{aligned} \]
The next multiple, 36, would need \(x = 14\), which is not a digit. 16, 20 and 15 correspond to \(x\) values that do not make 72x292 divisible by 9.

Conclusions:
1. The employees of this company do not seem to have any additional undisclosed income besides their salary.
2. The employees union wants all senior officers to declare their income first.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Neither I nor II follows
Conclusion I reads the refusal as innocence, but a refusal to declare proves nothing either way. Conclusion II invents a demand about senior officers that the statement never mentions. Neither follows.
Which of the following is/are correct?
1. If a person travels 5 km South and then 12 km East, then his distance from starting point is 13 km.
2. If a person is facing North-West and turns 225° clockwise, he will end up facing South.
Select the answer using the codes given below:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Both 1 and 2 are correct.
Statement 1: the South and East legs are perpendicular, so the distance is
\[ \sqrt{5^2 + 12^2} = \sqrt{169} = 13 \text{ km} \]
Statement 2: measure directions clockwise from North. North-West is 315°; turning 225° clockwise gives \(315 + 225 = 540\), and \(540 - 360 = 180\)°, which is South. Turning 180° from North-West would give South-East, and the extra 45° clockwise brings it to South.
Pointing to an old man, Yuvraj said, "His son is my son's uncle." How is the old man related to Yuvraj ?

Identify the parts of speech of the underlined words in the given sentence :
'He was wild and a little dangerous, subject to moods and impulses'.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Both underlined words are adjectives.
'Wild' and 'dangerous' follow the linking verb 'was' and describe the subject 'He', so they are predicative adjectives. 'A little' modifies 'dangerous', telling us to what degree.
Neither word modifies a verb, so neither is an adverb, and neither names a person, place or thing, so neither is a noun.

Find the correctly spelt words.
Find the correctly spelt word:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Exhilarate
The correct spelling is exhilarate - an a in the middle, a silent h after the ex, and a single l. The silent h is the feature most often dropped, since nothing in the pronunciation calls for it. It appears in a small group of words where the Latin prefix ex- meets an h: exhaust, exhibit, exhort and exhume. In all of them the h is written but not sounded. The word comes from the Latin hilaris, cheerful - the same root as hilarious and hilarity, which supplies both the a and the single l. The noun is exhilaration, keeping every letter. Note the contrast with accelerate and tolerate, which take -erate; this one does not.

Computer Awareness [ Question No: 10 To 12 ] :
Why might someone break into (hack) your computer?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: All of the above
All three are real motives, and the list runs from the petty to the criminal: spite, direct theft or fraud, and the use of the machine itself as a resource for distributing illegal material or attacking others. The last is the commonest and the one victims least expect, since it does no visible harm to them.
If relocation is static and is done at assembly or load time, compaction _________.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: cannot be done
Compaction moves a process to a different physical address, so its addresses must be recomputed. If relocation was fixed at assembly or load time the addresses are already bound and cannot be changed, so the process cannot be moved.
All Operating Systems get their total memory initialized from?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: BIOS
The BIOS counts and tests the memory during the power-on self test and records the total, which the operating system then reads rather than working it out again.

Newton's third law states that to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The two forces act on different bodies, which is why they never cancel each other: the gun pushes the bullet forward and the bullet pushes the gun back. The law is equivalent to the conservation of momentum.

Attrition is one of the four ways a river transports its load: the particles knock against each other and are worn smaller and rounder as they travel. Corrosion is chemical erosion of the bed, and deposition is the dropping of load, not its transport.
The doctrine of ‘pith and substance’ is used by courts to
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Determine which list a law truly falls under when it touches on more than one
The doctrine of pith and substance is used to determine the true nature and character of a law when it appears to fall under more than one legislative list. The reasoning is practical: legislative entries cannot be drawn so precisely that no law ever touches a subject belonging to the other level. So the court looks at the law as a whole - its object, scope and effect - and if in substance it falls within the enacting legislature’s competence, it is valid even though it incidentally encroaches on a forbidden field. It was borrowed from Canadian jurisprudence and applied in India as early as State of Bombay v. F. N. Balsara in 1951. Two related doctrines complete the set. Colourable legislation strikes down a law that does indirectly what the legislature cannot do directly. And the doctrine of repugnancy under Article 254 resolves genuine conflict on a Concurrent List subject in favour of the Union law, unless the state law received the President’s assent.
