Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 3 ] :
In an examination, 40% marks are required to pass. A obtains 10% marks less than those required to pass. B obtains marks \(11\frac{1}{9}\%\) less than those of A, while C obtains \(41\frac{3}{17}\%\) marks less than sum of A and B together. What percentage of marks has C obtained ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
C obtained 40% of the marks.
The pass mark is 40%, and A gets 10% less than that. B gets \(11\frac{1}{9}\% = \frac{1}{9}\) less than A, and C gets \(41\frac{3}{17}\% = \frac{7}{17}\) less than A and B together:
\[ \begin{aligned} A &= 40 \times 0.9 = 36 \\ B &= 36 \times \tfrac{8}{9} = 32 \\ A + B &= 68 \\ C &= 68 \times \tfrac{10}{17} = 40 \end{aligned} \]
The fractions are chosen to divide exactly: \(11\frac{1}{9}\%\) is one-ninth, and \(41\frac{3}{17}\%\) is \(\frac{700}{17}\%\), or seven-seventeenths. Reading 'A obtains 10% marks less' as 30% would give non-whole answers that match no option.
In a 500 m race the speeds of A and B are in the ratio 3 : 4, and A is given a start of 140 m. By how much does A win ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: 20 m
With a 140 m start, A has only \(500 - 140 = 360\) m to run. In the time A covers that,
\[B \text{ covers } 360 \times \frac{4}{3} = 480 \text{ m}\]
B still has \(500 - 480 = 20\) m to go when A finishes, so A wins by 20 m.
In what ratio must a shopkeeper mix Basmati rice at ₹120 per kg with ordinary rice at ₹80 per kg so that the mixture costs ₹90 per kg?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: 1 : 3
By alligation the ratio of the two quantities is the inverse ratio of their distances from the mean. Taking Basmati first: \[ \frac{\text{Basmati}}{\text{ordinary}} = \frac{90 - 80}{120 - 90} = \frac{10}{30} = \frac{1}{3}. \] The ratio is 1 : 3 - one part Basmati to three parts ordinary rice. Checking: 1 kg at 120 and 3 kg at 80 cost \( 120 + 240 = 360 \) for 4 kg, which is 90 per kg. Note carefully which difference belongs to which ingredient. The quantity of an ingredient is proportional to the distance of the mean from the other price - the differences are taken diagonally across the alligation diagram. The sanity check settles it regardless: the mean of 90 is much nearer 80 than 120, so the ordinary rice must dominate, and 3 : 1 can be rejected without calculation.

Direction for [ Question No: 4 To 4 ] :
Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a circle facing the centre. B is second to the right of H and third to the left of A. D is not an immediate neighbour of either B or H and is second to the right of F. C is fourth to the right of G.
Who is fourth to the right of H?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: F
Facing the centre, each person’s left is the next seat clockwise and their right the next seat anticlockwise. Fix B; H sits two to B’s left and A three to B’s right. D may touch neither B nor H, which leaves only one seat for D once F is placed two seats to D’s left, and E takes the seat beside B. Clockwise the circle reads B → E → H → ? → D → A → F → ?, the two open seats being directly opposite each other. C is fourth to G’s right - which in a circle of eight means simply opposite - so C and G fill those two seats, but which takes which is not fixed.
Counting four seats to H’s right - anticlockwise - gives E, B, the undecided seat, and then F. The ambiguity does not affect the count.

Which of the following should replace the question mark so that C>D is definitely true?
C = B ? A ≥ D ≤ G > F
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: >
The chain is C = B ? A ≥ D, and C > D needs a strict step somewhere between C and D. The link A ≥ D is not strict and C = B is not either, so the strictness must be supplied at the question mark: B > A gives C = B > A ≥ D and therefore C > D.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: against 89 mathematics hour for 18 21 47
This machine places the alphabetically first remaining word, then the largest remaining number, alternately. Step 1 brings against to the front, giving against mathematics hour for 18 89 21 47. Step 2 brings the largest number, 89, to position two: against 89 mathematics hour for 18 21 47.

The movie was funny and I _________.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The sentence takes couldn’t help laughing.
The idiom cannot help doing something means being unable to stop oneself, and it is always followed by the -ing form of the verb: 'I couldn’t help laughing' says the film was so funny that laughing was involuntary.
'Could help laughing' drops the negative, so it says the opposite of the intended sense. 'Couldn’t help laughed' uses a past form where the gerund is required, and 'could helped laughed' puts a past form after the modal 'could', which always takes the base verb.
Select the option that converts the verbs given in the brackets in the most appropriate past tense. When Bullu (say) that she (come) to see me the next day I (wonder) which cake she would bring. She always brings cakes.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The correct option is 'When Bullu said that she was coming to see me the next day I wondered which cake she would bring.'
All the verbs in the brackets must be in the past tense. 'Said', 'was coming' and 'wondered' keep the sentence in the past and show that the visit was planned for the next day.
Options A and C use the present 'is coming' and 'am wondering', and D uses 'was saying', which changes the meaning.
In reported past narration, the verbs in the bracket take the past forms: 'said', 'was coming' and 'wondered'. The first clause 'When Bullu said' sets the time as past, and 'the next day' is a future in the past, expressed with 'was coming'. The remark 'She always brings cakes' stays in the present.

- oceanic–oceanic convergence
- oceanic–continental convergence
- continental–continental convergence
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
All three kinds of convergence occur. Where two oceanic plates meet, one subducts and an island arc forms; where oceanic meets continental, the denser ocean floor subducts and a coastal mountain chain such as the Andes rises; where two continental plates meet, neither will subduct and the crust crumples upward into a range like the Himalaya.
Since all three occur, the combined choice is correct.
