Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 3 ] :
The average temperature on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday was 27°C. The average temperature on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday was 29°C. If the temperature on Wednesday was 30°C, find the temperature on Sunday.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The temperature on Sunday was 24°C.
Turn each average into a total:
\[ \begin{aligned} S + M + T &= 3 \times 27 = 81 \\ M + T + W &= 3 \times 29 = 87 \\ M + T &= 87 - 30 = 57 \\ S &= 81 - 57 = 24 \end{aligned} \]
A shortcut: the two totals differ by \(87 - 81 = 6\), which is \(W - S\), so \(S = 30 - 6 = 24\). The option 28 comes from subtracting the difference of the averages, 2, instead of the difference of the totals, 6.
Prove that any date in March of a year is the same day of the week corresponding date in November that year.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
We will show that the number of odd days between last day of February and last day of October is zero. .
March April May June July Aug. Sept. Oct.
31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31
= 241 days = 35 weeks = 0 odd day. ,Number of odd days during this period = 0.
Thus, 1st March of an year will be the same day as 1st November of that year. Hence, the result follows
If the radius of a sphere is increased by 50%, find the increase per cent in its surface area.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Surface area varies as the square of the radius.
\[ \frac{S'}{S} = \left(\frac{1.5r}{r}\right)^{2} = 2.25 \]
\[ \text{increase} = 2.25 - 1 = 1.25 = 125\% \]
The volume, which varies as the cube, would rise by \( 1.5^{3} - 1 = 2.375 \), or 237.5% - a much larger jump for the same change in radius.

Statement: Government aided schools should have uniformity in charging various fees.
Assumptions:
1. The Government's subsidy comes from the money collected by way of taxes from people.
2. The Government while giving subsidy may have stipulated certain uniform conditions regarding fees.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: Only assumption II is implicit
Requiring uniformity in the fees presupposes that the government, in giving aid, may attach conditions of that kind - assumption II. Assumption I, about where the subsidy money comes from, is beside the point of the recommendation. Only II is implicit.
In the following triad, each letter-cluster is related to the subsequent one following a certain logic. Select the option that follows the same logic. AVOID-VAOID-AVODI
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The pair that follows the same logic is BUYER-UBYER-BUYRE.
In AVOID-VAOID-AVODI, the first step swaps the first two letters (AVOID to VAOID), and the second step swaps the first two letters again and also the last two letters (VAOID to AVODI). BUYER to UBYER swaps the first two letters, and UBYER to BUYRE swaps the first two again and the last two (E and R), which is the same logic.
The other options reverse or scramble whole words rather than swapping those pairs of letters.
Check the rule on the remaining options to see why they fail. In CALIF-LIFAC the letters are moved in blocks, and in DREAM-MAERD the whole word is reversed. EXIST-IXSTE shifts letters round in a cycle. None of them swaps only the first two and then the first two together with the last two letters, as the given triad does.

C, F, I, L, ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: O
Each letter is three places on from the last: C \( \to \) F \( \to \) I \( \to \) L. Three more from L (the 12th letter) is the 15th - O.
General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 7 To 19 ] :
Who was the President of Jodhpur Prajamandal established in 1934 ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The key's answer is Bhanwar Lal Saraf.
The Jodhpur Praja Mandal was formed in 1934 to campaign for civil liberties and responsible government in the princely state of Marwar, with Bhanwar Lal Saraf as its president. It was banned by the state, and its work was carried on through the Marwar Lok Parishad, founded in 1938.
Jainarayan Vyas, the leading figure of the Marwar movement and later Chief Minister of Rajasthan, is the likely trap: he was the movement's organiser rather than the Praja Mandal's president. Manikya Lal Verma founded the Mewar Praja Mandal in 1938, in Udaipur, not Jodhpur.
Which one of the following classical dance in its present form has influence of Mughal tradition ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The classical dance shaped by Mughal tradition is Kathak.
Kathak grew from the storytellers (kathakars) of north Indian temples, and under Mughal and later Nawabi patronage it moved into the courts. There it acquired its Persian-influenced costume, its emphasis on rhythmic footwork and fast spins, and the elegant courtly style of the Lucknow and Jaipur gharanas.
Bharatanatyam (Tamil Nadu), Kathakali and Mohiniattam (Kerala) developed in the south, far from Mughal rule, and kept their temple and regional traditions.
Which among the following statements concerning platelets is INCORRECT. Platelets:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The incorrect statement is that platelets contain DNA.
They have no nucleus, being fragments budded off from megakaryocytes in the marrow. The rest is true: they are roughly disc-shaped, about 2 to 3 micrometres across against the red cell's 7, and synthesise very little protein.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Permanent hardness is due to calcium sulphate, and to the sulphates and chlorides of magnesium.
These salts are unaffected by boiling, so the hardness persists. It is removed by adding washing soda, \[\mathrm{CaSO_4 + Na_2CO_3 \rightarrow CaCO_3\downarrow + Na_2SO_4}\] or by ion exchange. The bicarbonates cause temporary hardness instead.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity.
In 1896 he found that uranium salts fogged a photographic plate wrapped in black paper, without any exposure to light, so the radiation came from the element itself. He shared the 1903 Nobel Prize with the Curies.
The Nuakhai festival is predominantly observed in which state?

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
James D. Watson auctioned his medal.
The co-discoverer of the structure of DNA sold his 1962 Nobel medal in 2014 for $4.1 million, the first living laureate to do so. The Russian businessman who bought it returned it to him.

Minjar stands for maize flowers.
The fair at Chamba in Himachal Pradesh takes its name from the tassel of the maize plant, which appears at that season, and is held to mark the victory of the Raja of Chamba over the ruler of Trigarta in 935.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The Earth is about 4,600 million years old - 4.54 billion years, give or take about 1 per cent.
The figure comes from radiometric dating of the oldest meteorites, which formed with the solar system, and is confirmed by the oldest Earth and Moon rocks.
Which region of India receives the highest annual rainfall?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Meghalaya
Meghalaya receives the heaviest rainfall in India, and Mawsynram and Cherrapunji in its Khasi Hills are among the wettest inhabited places on Earth, with annual totals around 11,000 mm. The cause is orographic. Moist air from the Bay of Bengal is funnelled up the narrow, steep-sided valleys of the Khasi range and forced to rise abruptly, wringing out its moisture in a very short distance. The state’s name means abode of the clouds. The paradox is that Cherrapunji suffers water shortages in the dry season, because almost all the rain falls in a few monsoon months and the steep, deforested slopes shed it immediately. Rajasthan is the driest state, with parts of the Thar receiving under 150 mm. Tamil Nadu is unusual in getting most of its rain from the northeast or retreating monsoon in October to December, rather than the southwest monsoon.

Mahe and Yanam are the parts of the Union Territory of:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Mahe and Yanam belong to Puducherry.
The Union Territory is made up of four former French enclaves scattered across three states: Puducherry and Karaikal in Tamil Nadu, Mahe in Kerala and Yanam in Andhra Pradesh. They are not contiguous with one another.
The parliament works through committees which
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Parliamentary committees exercise effective control over the government on a regular and continuing basis.
The House itself sits for only a few months a year and cannot scrutinise every proposal in detail; the committees examine demands for grants, bills and departmental working through the year, in private, where party positions matter less.
Current Affairs [ Question No: 20 To 20 ] :
The Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan has emerged from the amalgamation of which of the following schemes ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Samagra Shiksha merged Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) and Teacher Education (TE).
Launched in 2018-19, Samagra Shiksha is an integrated scheme for school education from pre-school to Class 12. It subsumed the three earlier centrally sponsored schemes: SSA for elementary education, RMSA for secondary education, and the Teacher Education scheme.
The National Skill Development Mission and the digital literacy mission are skill and IT programmes, and Beti Bachao Beti Padhao and Sukanya Samriddhi are schemes for girls, not parts of Samagra Shiksha.
