Direction for [ Question No: 8 To 8 ] :
Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :
Fitness is zero percent investment with infinite returns. There is a surge in diabetes and hypertension cases and other lifestyle diseases. Fitness is the only thing that can help. But with technology, physical activity has reduced. It has become fashionable to talk about fitness rather than act on it.
Several factors are cited to explain why fitness levels in school children are constantly declining. Children now walk far less than they used to. Instead of walking to or back from their school, they use a school bus, or get dropped and picked in a car. Once back home, they sit glued to the idiot box for several hours or keep playing computer games.
Excessive screen time can negatively impact a child's physical and mental health from increasing the risk of obesity to disturbing sleep patterns. There is neither place nor inclination to play outdoor games. Children's diet consists mainly of fast foods, fried foods, chocolates, crispies, sweets and fizzy drinks. These foods may be delicious and, therefore, tempting, but they are highly deficient in vital nutrients. Parents are often aware of this, but out of misplaced love for children, they hardly ever discipline their eating habits. Girls, usually keen to remain slim, keep dieting unnecessarily and deprive their bodies of vital nourishment.
It is important that children spend plenty of time playing in fresh air and exercise even more than the grown-ups in order that their muscles develop and their bones grow properly. If they can go for a regular swim and walk down to the swimming pool, it would combine the benefits of both walking and swimming. In addition, they should be encouraged to take healthy and wholesome food rich in nutrients to avoid what may be described as convenience foods.
Explain the phrase 'out of misplaced love' as used in the passage.

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 3 ] :
What is the value of \(\frac{10!}{8!}\)?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The 8! cancels.
\[ \frac{10!}{8!} = 10 \times 9 = 90 \]
The length of a rectangular plot is 20 metres more than its breadth. If fencing the plot at Rs. 26.50 per metre costs Rs. 5300, what is the length of the plot in metres?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The fencing runs round the perimeter, so divide the cost by the rate.
\[ \text{perimeter} = \frac{5300}{26.50} = 200 \text{ m} \]
\[ 2\big((b + 20) + b\big) = 200 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad 2b + 20 = 100 \]
\[ b = 40 \text{ m}, \qquad l = 60 \text{ m} \]
The length is 60 m, which appears nowhere among the choices, so the answer is none of these. The 40 m on offer is the breadth - a genuine intermediate value, but not what was asked.
How long does a train 165 meters long running at the rate of 54 kmph take to cross a bridge 660 meters in length?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
\[ 1 \text{ kmph} = \frac{5}{18} \text{ m/s} \]
\[ 54 \text{ kmph} = 15 \text{ m/s} \]
\[ t = \frac{165 + 660}{15} = \frac{825}{15} = 55 \text{ sec} \]

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : E
Correct answer: All follow
All three are proper and they cover the three phases of the emergency. Moving people from the riverside removes them from immediate danger; broadcasting a warning reaches those who cannot be moved in time and is quick and cheap; and clearing the silt once the water has fallen deals with the underlying cause, which the statement identifies explicitly. None of them is extreme or impracticable.

2. Children below five years in the cities of the developing countries need to be kept under periodic medical check-up.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : E
Clearly, the two diseases mentioned are caused by unhygienic conditions. So, improving the hygienic conditions is a step towards their eradication. Also, periodic medical check-up will help timely detection of the disease and hence a proper treatment. So, both I and II follow
The numbers below are multiplied by the same amount at every step. Give the term that follows.
C2, D6, E18, F54, ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: G162
The letters step forward one place at a time. The numbers are tripled at each step: 2, 6, 18, 54. Three times 54 is 162, giving G162. The arithmetic is the only real difficulty, and it is worth doing in two parts - three fifties is 150 and three fours is 12. G108 doubles instead of tripling, which agrees with none of the earlier steps. Tripling is easier to check than to perform: 162 divided by 3 is 54, which restores the previous term exactly.
A, B, C, D and E play a game of cards. A says to B, "If you give me three cards, you will have as many as E has and if I give you three cards, you will have as many as D has." A and B together have 10 cards more than what D and E together have. If B has two cards more than what C has and the total number of cards be 133, how many cards does B have ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Clearly, we have :
B-3 = E ...(i)
B + 3 = D ...(ii)
A+B = D + E+10 ...(iii)
B = C + 2 ...(iv)
A+B + C + D + E= 133 ...(v)
From (i) and (ii), we have : 2 B = D + E ...(vi)
From (iii) and (vi), we have : A = B + 10 ...(vii)
Using (iv), (vi) and (vii) in (v), we get:
\((B + 10) + B + (B - 2) + 2B = 133\)
\(\Rightarrow 5B = 125 \)
\(\Rightarrow B = 25\)

Explain the phrase 'out of misplaced love' as used in the passage.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The phrase means love that is harmful, as the key reads it.
The passage says: 'Parents are often aware of this, but out of misplaced love for children, they hardly ever discipline their eating habits.' Misplaced love is affection directed in the wrong way: parents who know the food is poor but still let the children eat it do them harm in the name of love.
'Love that does not exist' and 'love that is blind' say the love is absent or unseeing, but the passage presents it as real and aware ('often aware of this'). 'Love that lacks discipline' describes the result, that parents do not discipline eating habits, more than the love itself, and it is the nearest rival; I could not confirm from a dictionary which of the two the Board meant, so this follows the key.

Computer Awareness [ Question No: 11 To 11 ] :
Which one of the following will give the sum of full adders as output ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Three bit parity checker
The sum output of a full adder is \( A \oplus B \oplus C_{in} \) - it is 1 whenever an odd number of the three inputs is 1. That is precisely what a three-bit parity checker computes. The carry output, by contrast, is the majority function of the same three bits.
General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 12 To 19 ] :
Which of the following National Highway passes through the Rajasthan?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The highway is National Highway No. 11.
NH 11 runs through Rajasthan under both numbering systems: before 2010 it ran from Agra through Jaipur to Bikaner, and under the current numbering it links Jaisalmer, Bikaner and Jhunjhunu towards Rewari in Haryana.
The others do not cross Rajasthan. Old NH 2 ran from Delhi to Kolkata and old NH 4 from Thane to Chennai, while in the current scheme NH 2 is in the north-east and NH 4 is in the Andaman Islands. Three-digit numbers starting with 3 are spurs of NH 15 in Assam, so NH 315 is a north-eastern road.
In which year was the Jaipur Prajamandal founded?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The Jaipur Prajamandal was founded in 1931.
The Jaipur Praja Mandal was set up in 1931, with Kapoor Chand Patni among its founders, to work for civil rights and responsible government in Jaipur state. It was reorganised and made active in 1936-38 under Jamnalal Bajaj, which is why 1938 is a common distractor.
1934 and 1942 are not the founding year, which is 1931.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Ampicillin is an antibiotic, a semi-synthetic penicillin effective against a broader range of bacteria than penicillin itself.
Like all penicillins it works by preventing bacteria from building their cell walls, so it kills only growing cells and has no effect on viruses.
