Directions : Read the passage given below carefully and answer the questions that follow by selecting the correct/most appropriate options.
Water is the core of life; hence water must be central to our spiritual thinking. Water is not only most of earth, but also most of life. Therefore water conservation must be our deepest concern.
The Himalayan mountain range is among the highest, youngest and most fragile ecosystem of the planet. The Himalayas have given us some of the great river systems of the earth including the Indus, Ganga, Brahmaputra, Nu Salween, Yangtze and the Mekong. The Himalayas are also called the 'Third Pole', for they contain the largest mass of ice and snow outside the earth's polar region, the north and south poles. There is a permanent snowline above 5,000 metres. Some of the glaciers in the region are the longest outside the two poles. The Himalayas serve as water towers, providing water on a sustained basis to more than 1,000 million people and millions of hectares of land in South Asia. The greenery, benevolent climate, highly productive ecosystems, food production and overall happiness in South Asia are in fact, attributable to the bounty of the Himalayas. They are not only beautiful; they are life-givers. Little wonder that they are venerated as the abode of gods.
To keep the Third Pole preserved through assured conservation is one of the greatest challenges for the contemporary world. Himalayan mountains are a common but fragile natural resource. As mountain ecosystems have enormous bearing on the earth's systems, their special care, regeneration and conservation of their pristine resources would only bring more happiness, peace and prosperity to large parts of the world. In Agenda 21, Chapter 13 of the United Nations, the importance of mountains is underlined : "mountain environments are essential to the survival of global ecosystems."

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 6 ] :
Which of the following statements is not correct ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The incorrect statement is Two acute angles can be put together to make a reflex angle.
Each acute angle is less than 90°, so two together are less than 180°. A reflex angle is more than 180°, so two acute angles can never make one.
The other statements are correct. An acute and an obtuse angle can sum to exactly 180°, for example 60° and 120°, giving a straight angle. A reflex angle does lie between 180° and 360°. Two acute angles can exceed 90°, for example 50° and 60° make 110°, which is obtuse.
A person took a certain loan from a bank at the rate of 9% per annum. He paid a simple interest amounting to₹2,160 in 3 years. Find the amount of the loan.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The loan is Rs 8,000. Simple interest is principal times rate times time over 100:
\[ 2160 = \frac{P \times 9 \times 3}{100} \]\[ P = \frac{2160 \times 100}{27} = 8000 \]Rs 7,500, Rs 7,800 and Rs 8,400 give interest of Rs 2,025, Rs 2,106 and Rs 2,268 on three years at 9%, not Rs 2,160.
Check: the interest for one year at 9% on Rs 8,000 is Rs 720, and for three years it is Rs 2,160, which matches the figure in the question. Each of the other amounts gives a different interest for three years, so only Rs 8,000 fits.
The value of \(\sin^2 1° + \sin^2 2° + ... + \sin^2 89°\) is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
We pair the terms using the identity \(\sin(90-A) = \cos A\).
The series is \((\sin^2 1° + \sin^2 89°) + (\sin^2 2° + \sin^2 88°) + ... + \sin^2 45°\).
Each pair \((\sin^2 A + \sin^2(90-A))\) becomes \((\sin^2 A + \cos^2 A) = 1\).
There are 44 such pairs (from 1° to 44°). So the sum of these pairs is 44.
The middle term left over is \(\sin^2 45° = (1/\sqrt{2})^2 = 1/2 = 0.5\).
Total sum = 44 + 0.5 = 44.5.
Ravi invested certain amount for two rates of simple interests at 6% p.a. and 7% p.a. What is the ratio of Ravi's investments if the interests from those investments are equal?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Let the two investments be \( P_{1} \) at 6% and \( P_{2} \) at 7%, over the same period \( n \). Equal interest means
\[ \frac{P_{1} \times 6 \times n}{100} = \frac{P_{2} \times 7 \times n}{100} \]
\[ 6P_{1} = 7P_{2} \quad\Longrightarrow\quad \frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}} = \frac{7}{6} \]
The investments are in the inverse ratio of the rates: the lower rate needs the larger sum to yield the same return. The time cancels, so it need not be known.
A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole in 9 seconds. What is the length of the train?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
\[ 1 \text{ km/hr} = \frac{5}{18} \text{ m/s} \]
\[ 60 \text{ km/hr} = 60 \times \frac{5}{18} = \frac{50}{3} \text{ m/s} \]
A pole has no length, so the train covers only itself:
\[ L = \frac{50}{3} \times 9 = 150 \text{ metres} \]
The unit’s digit in the product \((3127)^{173}\) is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Unit digit in \((3127)^{173}\) = Unit digit in 7173. Now, 74 gives unit digit 1
Therefore, \(7173= (74)43 \times 71\). Thus, 7173 gives unit digit 7

For the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) below, choose the correct alternative.
Assertion (A) : Mohammad-bin-Tughluq is called the 'wisest fool'.
Reason (R) : He had wise plans but implemented them foolishly.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Muhammad-bin-Tughluq’s schemes - the token currency, the transfer of the capital to Daulatabad, the Deccan campaigns - were imaginative in conception and disastrous in execution. That combination is exactly what earned him the name. Both are true and R explains A.
A shop always has
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Goods for sale
The question asks what is always present, not what usually is. A shop is a place where goods are offered for sale, so goods for sale are what define it. A cash register is a convenience of larger shops; a street vendor with a basket takes money in hand. Customers come and go, and a shop with none at a given moment is still a shop - indeed a shop that has never had one is still a shop. A signboard identifies a shop but does not constitute it, and many small establishments have none.
If P $ Q means P is the father of Q; P # Q means P is the mother of Q and P * Q means P is the sister of Q, then N # L $ P * Q shows which of the relation of Q to N?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Data is inadequate
N # L makes N the mother of L; L $ P makes L the father of P; P * Q makes P the sister of Q, so Q is also L’s child and N’s grandchild. But nothing says whether Q is a boy or a girl, so we cannot choose between grandson and granddaughter - the data are inadequate.
Arrange the given words Alphabetical Order and choose the one that comes first.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Shrill
Comparing letter by letter, the alphabetical order of the five words is:
Shrill → Shrine → Shrink → Sight → Signature
The second letter divides them: h before i, so the three Shr- words precede the two Si- ones. Among the Shr- words the fifth letter decides: l, n, n, so Shrill leads, and Shrine then precedes Shrink on the sixth letter, e before k.

I have never met
(P) a friendliness and hospitality
(Q) in your city,

(S) I have met in Calcutta
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: QPRS
The sentence reads:
I have never met, in your city, a friendliness and hospitality like the one I have met in Calcutta.
Q is a parenthetical phrase and sits next to the verb it qualifies. P is the object of met, R begins the comparison, and S completes it. Putting S before Q would say the speaker met Calcutta rather than met something in it.

Statement : Vegetable prices are soaring in the market.
Conclusions :
I. Vegetables are becoming a rare commodity.
II. People cannot eat vegetables.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Neither I nor II follows
Only one fact is given: prices are rising.
- I - does not follow. Scarcity is one possible cause of a price rise, but so are transport costs, taxes, hoarding and higher demand. A cause cannot be picked out from the effect alone.
- II - does not follow. Expensive is not the same as unaffordable, and cannot eat is an absolute the statement nowhere supports.
