Study the following passage carefully and answer the questions.
There is more bad news on food front. It now appears certain that there will bea shortfall of about 9 million tonnes
in the food production in the current kharif season, which in turn means five million tonnes less than the production
achieved in the last kharif season. However, rice procurement may only be partially affected since West Bengal
and Andhra Pradesh have had sufficient rainfall while Punjab, the mtyor contributor to the central pool is less
dependent on rainfall. Still, the overall availability of rice may go down by more than four million tonnes. There may
be worst news ahead.
There is no canal water facility in West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh,

At this stage of civilisation, when many nations are brought into close and vital contact for good and evil, it is essential, as never before, that their gross ignorance of one another should be diminished, that they should begin to understand a little of one another's historical experience and resulting mentality. It is the fault of the English to expect the people of other countries to react as they do, to political and international situations. Our genuine goodwill and good intentions are often brought to nothing, because we expect other people to be like us. This would be corrected if we knew the history, not necessarily in detail but in broad outlines, of the social and political conditions which have given to each nation its present character.

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 1 ] :
A wooden rectangular plank has dimensions 12m and 6 m. Three circular portions are cut from the plank having diameters 2m, 2m and 1m.How much area of the plank remains?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Halve each diameter to get the radii: 1 m, 1 m and 0.5 m.
\[ A_{\text{plank}} = 12 \times 6 = 72 \text{ m}^{2} \]
\[ A_{\text{holes}} = \pi(1)^{2} + \pi(1)^{2} + \pi(0.5)^{2} = \pi + \pi + \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{9\pi}{4} \]
\[ A_{\text{remaining}} = 72 - \frac{9\pi}{4} = \frac{288 - 9\pi}{4} \text{ m}^{2} \]
Numerically that is about 64.93 m². Using the diameters directly in \( \pi r^{2} \) would quadruple the holes' area.

Correct answer: Only conclusion I follows
If fortune goes to the brave, then venturing something - taking a risk - is what success requires, which is conclusion I. Conclusion II is a separate saying about cowards, not drawn from this one. Only I follows.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
According to the passage, the rice production in West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh would not be affected since they had sufficient rainfall. This implies that the farming there is dependent mainly on rain and no other irrigation facilities are available.
Consider the following :
Find the missing number.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The missing number is 15.
The diagonals and midlines cut the square into eight triangles, which pair up along each side of the square: the two triangles touching the same side add up to the same total.
- Left side: 21 + 35 = 56
- Bottom: 14 + 42 = 56
- Right side: 16 + 40 = 56
- Top: 41 + ? = 56
So the missing number is 56 - 41 = 15. The other options give top totals of 53, 54 and 55, which break the pattern.
I travel 20 miles towards north and then travel 25 miles eastward. I then travel 40 miles rightwards, then travel 30 miles towards right and then travel 12 miles to the left and finally 20 miles northwards. How far am I approximately from my original starting point and in what direction ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: 13 miles towards south-west
Take the start as the origin with east and north positive. North 20 gives \( (0,20) \); east 25 gives \( (25,20) \); facing east, a right turn faces south, so 40 gives \( (25,-20) \); another right turn faces west, so 30 gives \( (-5,-20) \); facing west, a left turn faces south, so 12 gives \( (-5,-32) \); and 20 north gives \( (-5,-12) \). The distance is \[ \sqrt{5^2+12^2} = \sqrt{169} = 13\ \mathrm{miles}, \] and being west and south of the origin, the direction is south-west.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
It is sacred.
Hallowed means made holy, from the same root as holy and Halloween, the eve of All Hallows. Unsanctified and irreligious are its opposites.
The little pianist took a ___ after he finished playing his sonatina.

It is bow.
A bow, rhyming with cow, is a bend from the waist in acknowledgement of applause. A bough is a tree branch, and the two are pronounced identically in this sense.
Computer Awareness [ Question No: 10 To 10 ] :
In a half adder, the SUM output is generated by which gate?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: XOR
A half adder adds two single bits and produces two outputs. The SUM is generated by an XOR gate and the CARRY by an AND gate: \[ S = A \oplus B, \qquad C = A \cdot B. \] The reason is visible in the arithmetic. 0+0 gives sum 0; 0+1 and 1+0 give sum 1; and 1+1 gives sum 0 with a carry of 1. The sum column is 1 exactly when the inputs differ, which is the definition of XOR, and the carry column is 1 only when both are 1, which is AND. The half adder cannot accept a carry from a previous stage, which is why a full adder is needed for multi-bit addition. A full adder takes three inputs and can be built from two half adders and an OR gate. Chaining full adders gives a ripple-carry adder, simple but slow because each stage waits for the carry from the one below; carry-lookahead adders exist to remove that delay.

This is a condensation reaction.
Acetaldehyde and hydroxylamine combine and eliminate a molecule of water to give the oxime: \[\mathrm{CH_3CHO + H_2NOH \rightarrow CH_3CH{=}NOH + H_2O}\] A reaction in which two molecules join with the loss of a small molecule such as water is a condensation; the first step is indeed nucleophilic addition, but the overall change is addition–elimination.

Raja Ravi Varma was an eminent figure in painting.
He combined European academic technique with Indian subject matter, painting scenes from the Puranas and portraits of south Indian nobility. His oleograph press made cheap prints of the gods available across India, and shaped how they are pictured to this day.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Both effects follow from the distribution of land and sea. Continents and oceans heat and cool at different rates, so the theoretical pressure belts break into separate cells such as the Azores and Pacific highs; and the same land–sea temperature contrast creates the gradients along which mid-latitude cyclonic depressions form.
Since both statements hold, the combined choice is correct.
Current Affairs [ Question No: 20 To 20 ] :
Donglang (Doklam) is a disputed area between the following countries?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Doklam is disputed between China and Bhutan.
Doklam (Donglang to China) is a plateau near the tri-junction of India, Bhutan and China. Both Bhutan and China claim it. In June 2017 Indian troops stopped Chinese road building there, on Bhutan's behalf, and the stand-off lasted until late August.
India's own position is that the area belongs to Bhutan, so India is a party to the 2017 stand-off but not to the territorial dispute. Nepal has no connection with Doklam at all, which rules out the two options that name it.
