1 Love came to Flora asking for a flower
That would of flowers be undisputed queen,
The lily and the rose, long, long had been
Rivals for that high honor. Bards of power
5 Had sung their claims. 'The rose can never tower
Like the pale lily with her Juno mien' -
'But is the lily lovelier ?' Thus between
Flower-factions rang the strife in Psyche's bower.
'Give me a flower delicious as the rose
10 And stately as the lily in her pride' -
'But of what colour ?' - 'Rose-red', Love first chose,
Then prayed, 'No, lily-white - or, both provide;'
And Flora gave the lotus, 'rose-red' dyed,
And 'lily-white', the queenliest flower that blows.

Rajesh said, "I bought a car yesterday."
Direction for [ Question No: 9 To 9 ] :
The world dismisses curiosity by calling it idle or mere idle curiosity even though curious persons are seldom idle. Parents do their best to extinguish curiosity in their children because it makes life difficult to be faced everyday with a string of unanswerable questions about what makes fire hot or why grass grows. Children whose curiosity survives parental discipline are invited to join our university. With the university, they go on asking their questions and trying to find the answers. In the eyes of a scholar, that is what a university is for. some of the questions which the scholars ask seem to the world to be scarcely worth asking, let alone answering. they asked questions too minute and specialised for you and me to understand without years of explanation. If the world inquires of one of them why he wants to know the answer to a particular question he may say especially if he is a scientist, that the answer will in some obscure way make possible a new machine or weapon or gadget. He talks that way because he knows that the world understands and respects utility.
But to you who are now part of the university, he will say that he wants to know the answer simply because he does not know it, the way the mountain climber wants to climb a mountain, simply because it is there. Similarly a historian asked by an outsider why he studies history may come out with the argument that he has learnt to respect to report on such occasions, something about knowledge of the past making it possible to understand the present and mould the future. But if you really want to know why a historian studies the past, the answer is much simpler, something happened and he would like to know what. All this does not mean that the answers which scholars find may have enormous consequences but these seldom form the reason for asking the question or pursuing the answers. It is true that scholars can be put to work answering questions for sake of the consequences as thousands are working now, for example, in search of a cure for cancer. But this is not the primary business of scholars. For the consequences are usually subordinate to the satisfication of curiosity.
According to their passage, parents do their best to discourage curiosity in their children

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 2 ] :
A candidate scores 20% and fails by 45 marks and another candidate who scores 45% marks gets 30 marks more than the minimum required to pass the examination. Find the maximum marks for the examination.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The maximum marks are 300.
Let the maximum be M. The pass mark is 45 more than 20% of M, and also 30 less than 45% of M:
\[ \begin{aligned} 0.20M + 45 &= 0.45M - 30 \\ 0.25M &= 75 \\ M &= 300 \end{aligned} \]
Check: the pass mark is 105. The first candidate scores 60 and falls short by 45; the second scores 135, which is 30 above the pass mark.
With 100, 200 or 400 the two descriptions of the pass mark disagree; for example 400 gives 125 from the first and 150 from the second.
A can do a piece of work in 12 days and B in 18 days. Working together, in how many days will they finish it ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: 7.2 days
Add the daily rates rather than the times.
\[\frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{18} = \frac{3}{36} + \frac{2}{36} = \frac{5}{36}\]
Working at five thirty-sixths of the job per day, they need
\[\frac{36}{5} = 7.2 \text{ days}\]
Reasoning [ Question No: 3 To 5 ] :
You are travelling in a bus. An elderly man boards the bus, but no seats are available. What will you do?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
You should give up your seat and ask the elderly man to sit down.
Offering one's own seat to an elderly passenger is the direct, courteous response, and it solves the problem at once.
Ignoring him is inconsiderate. Asking the conductor to find a seat shifts your responsibility to someone else when no seats are free anyway. Suggesting that he get off the bus is rude and unhelpful.
On which day in April is Gautam's birthday?
Statements:
1. Gautam was born exactly 28 years after his mother was born.
2. His mother will be 55 years 4 months and 5 days on August 18 this year.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Both 1 and 2 are sufficient
Statement 2 fixes the mother’s date of birth: counting 55 years, 4 months and 5 days back from 18 August gives 13 April. Statement 1 places Gautam exactly 28 years later, so his birthday is 13 April. Neither statement alone gives a date in April at all.

A and B are a married couple, A being the male member. D is the only son of C, who is the brother of A. E is the sister of D. B is the daughter-in-law of F, whose husband has died.
How many male members are there in the family ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
A is a male and married to B. So, A is the husband and B is the wife. C is the brother of A. D is the son of C. E, who is the sister of D will be the daughter of C. B is the daughter-in-law of F whose husband has died means F is the mother of A.
A is a male. B. the wife, is female. C. the brother, is male. D. the son, is male. E, the sister, is female. F, the mother, is a female. So, there are three males.

Which of the following attributes is not associated with the lily ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The attribute not associated with the lily is the colour red.
The poem calls it 'the pale lily' (line 6), which gives the colour pale white, speaks of its stately pride (line 10), and asks 'is the lily lovelier ?' (line 7), so stateliness and loveliness are linked with it. Red belongs to the rose: Love asks for 'Rose-red' and then 'lily-white'.
Pale white, stateliness and loveliness are all attributes the poem gives the lily, so each of them is associated with it and none is the answer.

Rajesh said, "I bought a car yesterday."
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Rajesh said that he had bought a car the previous day.
The past simple bought moves back to the past perfect, and yesterday becomes the previous day. Keeping yesterday would measure the time from the moment of reporting rather than from the moment of speaking.

According to their passage, parents do their best to discourage curiosity in their children
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: because they are unable to answer all the questions
The passage calls the children's questions unanswerable, and that is the word the answer turns on: what wears the parents down is not the number of questions but their own inability to meet them. Impatience and lack of time are consequences the passage does not name.
Choose the grammatically correct sentence.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: Travelling from Karjat to Khandala, one finds the line most beautifully laid.
The participial phrase and the main clause share the same subject, one, so the modifier is properly attached.
Why the others fail:
- As one travels… he finds… - the pronoun changes from one to he in mid-sentence.
- would find makes a plain observation conditional for no reason.
- The last option repeats the one… he inconsistency.
In the sentence given below a part is underlined and for that part options are given. Choose the most suitable option that can replace the underlined part.
A sharp fall in prices of jute have led the poor jute farmers to the brink of starvation.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
It should read has led the poor jute farmers.
The subject is a sharp fall, which is singular - in prices of jute is a prepositional phrase and does not affect the agreement. Led is the past participle; lead spelt so is the present tense or the metal.
Computer Awareness [ Question No: 12 To 15 ] :
HTML markup language is a set of Markup ______.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
HTML is a set of markup Tags.
HTML marks up a document with tags such as <p>, <h1> and <a>, which tell the browser how each part of the content is structured.
Attributes are extra information inside tags, not what the language is made of, and 'sets' and 'groups' are not HTML terms.
Each tag names an element, and most elements have an opening and a closing tag, for example a paragraph is marked with p tags and a heading with h1 to h6 tags.
IPv6 protocol defines an IP address of
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
IPv6 defines an IP address of 128 bit.
IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long, usually written as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, which allows about 3.4 × 1038 addresses. IPv6 was introduced because the 32-bit addresses of IPv4, about 4.3 billion of them, were running out.
32 bits is the size of an IPv4 address. 64 bits is the size of the interface identifier in a typical IPv6 address, half the address, and 256 bits is not used.
What is the largest number of data inputs which a data selector with two control inputs can have ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: 4
The control inputs select which data input is passed through, so k control lines address \( 2^k \) data inputs. With two control inputs that is \( 2^2 = 4 \).
What is the name of the form used to input chart values?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Datasheet
Double-clicking a chart placeholder starts Microsoft Graph, which opens a small spreadsheet grid called the datasheet. The numbers and labels typed there are what the chart plots, and closing the datasheet leaves the finished chart on the slide. Microsoft Graph is the program; Excel is a separate application.

Who considered the right to constitutional remedies the very ‘heart and soul’ of the Indian Constitution?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
B.R. Ambedkar called the right to constitutional remedies the heart and soul of the Constitution.
Article 32 gives every person the right to move the Supreme Court directly for the enforcement of a fundamental right - and being itself a fundamental right, it makes the others real rather than declaratory.
