1. Surrounded by verdant forests, natural springs, and blue hills, Netarhat is Jharkhand's best-kept secret, located in the district of Latehar, at a distance of about 151 km from the capital city of Ranchi. This quaint hill station brings solace and gives visitors much-deserved refuge from the hustle and bustle of cities. It is located at an altitude of 3696 feet, allowing people to enjoy magnificent views. Fabulous sunrises and stunning sunsets leave the visitors awestruck. Explore the surreal beauty of this beautiful place, also known as "Queen of Chota Nagpur", and return refreshed and rejuvenated.
2. With its shimmering waters, sparkling reflections, cool air, and breathtaking scenery, Netarhat lake offers serenity to its visitors. It is an ideal spot for picnics, and the lake's tranquil waters tempt you to go boating as well. Get closer to nature with the most beautiful forests in Jharkhand, and the pine forests. Netarhat, with its pretty lakes, shady valleys, mountain villages and thick evergreen forests filled with gorgeous pine trees, provides a panoramic scene to the visitors. The pine forests surrounded by mists in winter, make any traveller feel as though they have been transported to another world entirely.
3. The most well-known location is the Sunrise Point which offers a spectacular view of the sunrising that resembles an oil painting.

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 2 ] :
In how many ways can the letters of the word INDIA be arranged, such that all vowels are never together?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
INDIA has five letters with I twice, and its vowels are I, I, A.
\[ \text{total} = \frac{5!}{2!} = 60 \]
With the three vowels as one block there are three units (block, N, D):
\[ 3! \times \frac{3!}{2!} = 6 \times 3 = 18 \text{ with the vowels together} \]
\[ 60 - 18 = 42 \]
The repeated I forces a division by \( 2! \) in both counts.
In how many ways can we arrange the word ‘FUZZTONE’ so that all the vowels come together?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
FUZZTONE has eight letters with Z appearing twice: vowels U, O, E and consonants F, Z, Z, T, N.
Treat the three vowels as one block, giving six units among which Z repeats:
\[ \frac{6!}{2!} = 360 \]
Within the block the three distinct vowels arrange in
\[ 3! = 6 \text{ ways} \]
\[ 360 \times 6 = 2160 \]
The repeated Z is divided out among the units, but the vowels are all different so no division is needed inside the block.

Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
A, M, D, P, R, T, Band H are sitting around a circle, facing the centre. M is third to the left of A, who is second to the left of T. D is second to the right of H, who is second to the right of T. R is second to the right of B, who is not an immediate neighbour of T.
Who is third to the right of T?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: M
Facing the centre, each person’s left is the next seat clockwise and their right the next seat anticlockwise. Fix T; A sits two to T’s left, M three beyond A, H two to T’s right and D two to H’s right. Of the two ways of placing B with R two seats to B’s right, only one keeps B off T’s shoulder, and P takes the seat left over. Clockwise the circle reads T → R → A → B → D → M → H → P.
Counting three seats to T’s right - anticlockwise - gives P, H and then M.
A is father of C and D is son of B. E is brother of A. If C is sister of D, how is B related to E ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
B is E's Sister-in-Law.
C is a sister of D, so C and D are siblings. A is the father of C, and D is the son of B, so B is the other parent of the same children: B is A's wife, C and D's mother.
E is the brother of A. The wife of one's brother is one's sister-in-law, so B is E's sister-in-law.
B cannot be E's brother or brother-in-law, because as the children's mother B is female, and B is not E's sister, since B is related to E only by marriage.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Teacher
The question asks what is always present, not what usually is. A school exists to teach, so there must be a teacher. It may meet under a tree without a building, and a principal and a library are organisational extras.

Identify the correct meaning of the idiomatic expression.
Break a leg:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Break a leg means to wish a good luck.
It is a theatrical expression said to performers before they go on stage, because wishing 'good luck' directly was thought to bring bad luck. It is now used for any performance or test.
To avoid getting to the point is 'to beat around the bush', to be very expensive is 'to cost an arm and a leg', and to face a situation bravely is 'to bite the bullet' or 'face the music'.

Read the following statements :
(A) Netarhat is located at a height of 3696 feet.
(B) It is referred to as the 'Queen of Chota Nagpur'.
(C) Netarhat is blessed with verdant banyan forests.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The answer is (A) and (B) are correct, (C) is incorrect.
(A): the passage says 'It is located at an altitude of 3696 feet', so it is correct. (B): 'also known as "Queen of Chota Nagpur"', so it is correct as well.
(C) says Netarhat has verdant banyan forests. The passage speaks of 'verdant forests' and 'gorgeous pine trees' and 'pine forests', never banyan, so (C) adds a detail that is not in the passage and is incorrect. Hence the options that include (C) as correct cannot be right.

Which of phrases given below each sentence should replace the phrase printed in bold type to make the grammatically correct?
Select the grammatically correct sentence:
1. It is a pleasure to see an alligator basking in the sunshine on a river bank as long as ninety feet.
2. It is a pleasure to see an alligator as long as ninety feet basking in the sunshine on a river bank.
3. It is a pleasure to see an alligator basking in the sunshine as long as ninety feet on a river bank.
4. It is a pleasure to see an alligator basking as long as ninety feet in the sunshine on a river bank.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
It is sentence 2.
As long as ninety feet describes the alligator, so it must sit next to alligator. In sentence 1 it lands on the river bank, which then becomes ninety feet long - the classic misplaced modifier.

He said,"I cannot help you at present because I am myself in difficulty."
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: He said that he could not help me at present because he was himself in difficulty.
I becomes he, you becomes me, cannot becomes could not, and am becomes was. The reflexive myself follows its subject and becomes himself. The options keeping you report the refusal to the wrong person, and asked that cannot introduce a statement.

General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 11 To 20 ] :
Which of the following statements is not true about Bt cotton ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The statement that is not true is that seeds of Bt cotton are cheaper than non-GM seeds.
Bt cotton seed costs more than ordinary seed, because it carries a patented trait for which a fee is charged and because the hybrids must be bought afresh each season.
The other statements are the benefits commonly reported since Bt cotton was approved in India in 2002: higher yields and profits for farmers, much less insecticide spraying against the bollworm, and a rise in cotton output that turned India from an importer into a major exporter of cotton.
Which of the following is an anaesthetic gas ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The anaesthetic gas is nitrous oxide.
Nitrous oxide (N2O), also called laughing gas because of the euphoria it causes, is widely used as a mild anaesthetic and painkiller in dentistry and surgery, usually mixed with oxygen.
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a toxic brown gas and a major air pollutant, nitric oxide (NO) is a colourless pollutant and signalling molecule in the body, and nitrogen (N2) is the inert gas that makes up about 78% of air. None of them is used as an anaesthetic.

Dr M.S. Swaminathan chaired the National Commission on Farmers.

Which continent holds about 90 per cent of the world’s ice?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: Antarctica
Antarctica holds around 90 per cent of the world’s ice and about 70 per cent of its fresh water. The ice sheet averages nearly 2 km thick and reaches over 4 km in places, and its weight has pressed the underlying bedrock hundreds of metres below sea level. If it all melted, global sea level would rise by roughly 58 metres. Greenland’s much smaller ice sheet, the second largest, would add about 7. It is also the coldest, driest and windiest continent, and holds the record low surface temperature of about −89°C at Vostok. Despite the ice it is technically a desert, since almost no precipitation falls in the interior. It has no permanent population and is governed by the Antarctic Treaty of 1959, which reserves it for peaceful scientific use and sets aside all territorial claims. India maintains research stations there, Maitri and Bharati.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
