The space exploration has been done mainly by using unmanned satellites called space probes containing a large variety of latest scientific instruments on board. These space probes have provided us the close up pictures and other data about planets and other bodies in the outer space. The climax of the intensive American space programme came when Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969. Originally, the artificial satellites were launched for studying the upper atmosphere of earth.
Moon has been explored by man.
The solution of 3(2u + v) = 7 uv and 3(u + 3v) = 11 uv is _____
To forgive an injury is often considered to be a sign of weakness though it is really a sign of strength. It is easy to allow oneself to be carried away by resentment and hate into an act of vengeance; but it takes a strong character to restrain those natural passions. A man who forgives an injury proves himself to be a superior of the man who had wronged himself

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 3 ] :
Which of the following is not written correctly in Roman Numerals ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The numeral not written correctly is VXII.
In Roman numerals a smaller symbol is written before a larger one only to subtract, and only I, X and C may be used that way (IV, IX, XL, XC, CD, CM). V, L and D are never subtracted, so 'VX' is not allowed. Twelve is written XII.
The other three are correct: XXV = 10 + 10 + 5 = 25, LXXII = 50 + 10 + 10 + 2 = 72, and LXIII = 50 + 10 + 3 = 63.
A number increased by 37.5% gives 99. The number is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Let the number be x. An increase of 37.5% means the new number is 137.5% of the original.
Note that 37.5% = 3/8.
So, the new number is \(x + \frac{3}{8}x = \frac{11}{8}x\).
\(\frac{11}{8}x = 99\)
\(x = 99 \times \frac{8}{11} = 9 \times 8 = 72\).
If x = 5, y = 3 and z = 2 then xz (4y - 2z) is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Substitute \( x = 5 \), \( y = 3 \), \( z = 2 \) and clear the bracket first.
\[ 4y - 2z = 12 - 4 = 8 \]
\[ xz = 5 \times 2 = 10 \]
\[ 10 \times 8 = 80 \]

Moon has been explored by man.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Definitely true
The passage says Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon on 20 July 1969. A man setting foot on the moon is exactly what exploration of the moon by man means, so the inference follows from the stated fact with nothing added. Note that ‘first man’ also implies others followed, but even the one landing is enough to make the statement true.
The solution of 3(2u + v) = 7 uv and 3(u + 3v) = 11 uv is _____
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: u = 1, v = 3/2
Putting \( u = 1 \) and \( v = \tfrac32 \) into the first equation gives \( 3(2 + \tfrac32) = 10.5 \) and \( 7uv = 7 \times \tfrac32 = 10.5 \); into the second, \( 3(1 + \tfrac92) = 16.5 \) and \( 11uv = 11 \times \tfrac32 = 16.5 \). Both hold, so that is the solution.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: mercy is the noblest form of revenge.
The passage sets forgiveness against vengeance and finds forgiveness the stronger of the two: it is easy to be carried away by resentment, but it takes a strong character to restrain those passions, and the man who forgives proves himself superior to the man who wronged him. Proving your superiority over the wrongdoer is a kind of revenge, and mercy is the means - which is what this option compresses into a phrase.

Which word best fits blank (5)?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Moisture
What the sun takes from skin, and what the passage tells you to replace by moisturising, is moisture. Water is too literal for skin care, and dampness and wetness describe surfaces, not skin condition.

Which of phrases given below each sentence should replace the phrase printed in bold type to make the grammatically correct? If the sentence is correct as it is, mark 'E' as the answer.
In the sentence below, a part is printed in bold. Choose the alternative that best replaces it. If no improvement is needed, choose ‘No correction required’.
Let you and I settle the matter between ourselves.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: me
After let, the pronoun is the object of the verb and must be in the objective case: let you and me. The error arises from over-correction. Speakers are taught that you and I is right in you and I went - where the pair is the subject - and then apply it everywhere, producing between you and I and let you and I, both wrong. The reliable test is to remove the other person: nobody would say let I settle the matter, which shows at once that me is required. The same test settles between you and me and he invited my brother and me. Myself is a reflexive pronoun and is correct only when the subject and object are the same person, as in I hurt myself; it is not a polite substitute for me. Mine is possessive and cannot be an object at all.

Give answer
(a) if only conclusion I follows,
(b) if only conclusion II follows,
(c) if either I or II follows,
(d) if neither I nor II follows,
(e) if both I and II follow
Statement : Modern man influences his destiny by the choice he makes unlike in the past.
Conclusions :
I. Earlier there were less options available to man.
II. There was no desire in the past to influence the destiny.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Only conclusion I follows
Unlike in the past is doing the work here. Modern man shapes his destiny by the choice he makes, and that is said to distinguish him from earlier man - so earlier man had less to choose from.
- I - follows. Fewer options is exactly what the contrast asserts.
- II - does not follow. The statement contrasts the availability of choice, not the desire for it. Wanting to influence one’s destiny and being able to are different things.

A soliloquy is a speech made by a character alone on stage, thinking aloud, from the Latin for speaking alone. Hamlet's is the best known.
Computer Awareness [ Question No: 12 To 13 ] :
Which combination of gates does not allow the implementation of an arbitrary boolean function?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: OR gates and AND gates only
A set of gates is functionally complete only if it can produce complementation. AND and OR alone can never invert a signal, so functions involving a complement cannot be built. Each of the other three sets can invert: NOT is given outright, XOR inverts when one input is held at 1, and NAND is universal by itself.
On a dot matrix printer, you should never lubricate which part?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: printhead pins
The pins fire through a lubricant-free guide and are cooled by airflow; oil on them collects paper dust and jams them. The rails and bearings are the parts that do need lubrication.

Silver is the best conductor.
Its resistivity is \(1.59\times10^{-8}\ \Omega\,\mathrm{m}\), just below copper's. Copper is used for wiring nonetheless because silver is far more expensive and tarnishes in air.
