Directions : Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the correct/most appropriate option.
"Let's go! We are going to be late!" shouted Glen gleefully as he tightened his schoolbag on his back. Three other faces broke into a smile upon hearing his words. They could not wait to soak their feet in the water and perhaps catch a small fish or two, just for kicks. They were clearly not heading towards where they should be - school. The cold imposing white building became smaller and smaller. Their little hearts grew braver by the minute. They knew exactly where to go.
The canal was huge but that morning, there was only a small lazy stream of dirty water in it. With great gusto, Glen, the leader of the pack, hoisted himself over the railings and climbed down the huge monsoon drain. In the process, he got himself very dirty, but the excitement of truancy was too great to be bothered by some loose buttons and tears in his shirt.
In a fraction of seconds, the other boys joined him. Soon, screams and laughter of delight reverberated into the air but no one else could hear them for they had chosen a canal that was far from anyone. Glen spied many tiny fish darting to and fro in the murky water. They had no economical value and were practically worthless but nevertheless, the thrill of catching them bare-handed was priceless. Glen raced after an extra fat one. He plunged his hands to grab it only to have it slip between the cracks of his fingers.

Direction for [ Question No: 7 To 7 ] :
Soft bodied animals like caterpillars often fall a prey to voracious hunters like birds or reptiles. Despite having no means to 'actively' defend themselves, with weapons like claws or jaws, they have nevertheless, evolved other equally effective deterrents. A particular species of the caterpillar lives at an altitude over 2,500 metres in the Himalayas. It uses prominent colour to inform would be predators of its inedibility. In the event that an inexperienced or adventurous bird did eat the caterpillar, it would probably vomit it soon after, and subsequently desist from attacking similar species in future. Though this would do the unfortunate victim no good, the species benefits. A rare example of the martyr among animals.
In the context of this passage, a martyr is one who dies

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 2 ] :
A box contains 2 white balls, 3 black balls and 4 red balls. In how many ways can 3 balls be drawn from the box, if at least one black ball is to be included in the draw?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The box holds \( 2 + 3 + 4 = 9 \) balls, six of them not black.
\[ \text{total} = {}^{9}C_{3} = 84 \]
\[ \text{no black} = {}^{6}C_{3} = 20 \]
\[ 84 - 20 = 64 \]
The banker’s discount and the true discount on a sum due some time hence are ₹120 and ₹110 respectively. What is the sum due?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: ₹1,320
The face value follows from \[ A = \frac{\text{BD} \times \text{TD}}{\text{BD} - \text{TD}}. \] The denominator is the banker’s gain, \( 120 - 110 = 10 \), so \[ A = \frac{120 \times 110}{10} = 1320. \] Checking against the definitions: the present worth is \( 1320 - 110 = 1210 \), and the ratio \( 110/1210 = 120/1320 \), both equal to \( 1/11 \) - confirming that the two discounts are computed at the same rate and time, with \( RT/100 = 1/11 \). The distractor 1,210 is that present worth, and 1,100 is a plausible-looking round figure with no basis; both are placed to catch a reader who stops one step early. Note also the geometric progression PW, TD, BG - here 1210, 110, 10 - each a tenth of the previous, which is a useful sanity check.

Which is the second play to be staged ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
O should be immediately followed by M ie, the order OM should be followed. N should be immediately followed by L ie, the order NL should be followed. One play is staged between k and L and N or O should not be the first or last play. So, the order is
Monday K
Tuesday N
Wednesday L
Thursday O
Friday M

Complete the word analogy :
imposing : impressive :: truancy : ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The answer is absenteeism.
In the first pair the words are near-synonyms: something imposing is grand and impressive. So the second word must mean nearly the same as truancy, which is staying away from school without permission. Absenteeism, habitual absence from school or work, is the synonym.
Foolhardiness is recklessness, lying is telling untruths and play-acting is pretending. A truant may do any of these, but none of them means truancy.

In the context of this passage, a martyr is one who dies
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: To save others
The passage says the bird that eats one caterpillar afterwards avoids the whole species: though this would do the unfortunate victim no good, the species benefits. The individual dies and the others are spared, which is exactly what makes the word martyr apt here.

In each of the following questions, out of the given alternatives,choose the one which best expresses the meaning of the given word.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
It is knave.
A quack is someone who pretends to medical skill he has not, so knave is the nearest of the four. The word is short for quacksalver, one who quacks about his salves.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
It is loquacious.
Garrulous means talking too much, especially about trifles, and loquacious is its match. Quiet and reserved are its opposites.

Which of these is the largest hot desert in Asia?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: The Arabian Desert
The Arabian Desert covers most of the Arabian Peninsula, some 2.3 million square kilometres, which makes it the largest desert in Asia and the second largest hot desert in the world after the Sahara. At its heart is the Rub’ al Khali, the Empty Quarter, the largest continuous body of sand on Earth. The Gobi is larger in some reckonings but is a cold desert, lying on a high plateau across Mongolia and northern China where winter temperatures fall far below freezing; it is arid because the Himalaya block moist air from the Indian Ocean, the classic rain shadow. The Thar lies across the India–Pakistan border in Rajasthan and Sindh, and the Karakum covers most of Turkmenistan - both smaller by a wide margin.
An ordinance issued by the President has the same force and effect as an Act of Parliament
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
True. An ordinance issued by the president under Article 123 has the same force and effect as an Act of Parliament.
It can be issued only when Parliament is not in session and the president is satisfied that immediate action is needed. It must be laid before both Houses when they reassemble and lapses six weeks later unless approved.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
This is hyper-inflation.
Prices rise so fast that money ceases to be a reliable store of value or unit of account, and people revert to barter or to a foreign currency. Germany in 1923 and Zimbabwe in 2008 are the standard examples; the cause in each case was the printing of money to finance a deficit.
Girglani Committee was appointed to examine
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The Girglani Committee was appointed to examine violations of Government Order 610 in Andhra Pradesh.
GO 610 of 1985 required that non-locals appointed to posts reserved for locals in the Telangana region be repatriated. The committee found the order had been widely breached, and its report became a grievance in the movement for a separate Telangana.
Visakhadatta sketches the event after the death of Samudragupta in his work
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
It is the Devichandraguptam.
Vishakhadatta's play deals with Ramagupta, who succeeded Samudragupta and agreed to surrender his queen Dhruvadevi to the Saka king, and with Chandragupta II, who killed the Saka, then his brother, and married Dhruvadevi. Mudrarakshasa, his other play, is about Chandragupta Maurya.
Current Affairs [ Question No: 20 To 20 ] :
Which social challenge has been reported in 'The Inequality Virus' by OXFAM International in January 2021?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The report points to income, gender and racial inequalities. Oxfam International published ‘The Inequality Virus’ in January 2021, showing how the Covid-19 pandemic widened the gap between the richest and the rest: billionaires recovered their wealth quickly while many people lost work, and the report discusses how the effects fell unevenly by gender and race.
Caste discrimination, regional diversities and inequality in sex ratio are real Indian concerns but are not the headline findings of this global report, so options A, C and D are not the issues it reports.
