Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 6 ] :
(x % of y) + (y % of x) is equivalent to ______.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The sum is 2 % of xy.
Write each percentage as a fraction of 100:
\[ \begin{aligned} \frac{x}{100}y + \frac{y}{100}x &= \frac{2xy}{100} \\ &= 2\% \text{ of } xy \end{aligned} \]
'2 % of (xy/100)' divides by 100 a second time, giving \(2xy/10^{4}\). 'xy % of 100' equals \(xy\), and '100 % of xy' is also \(xy\); both are 50 times too large. A quick check with \(x = y = 10\): 10% of 10 plus 10% of 10 is 2, and 2% of 100 is 2.
The speed of stream is 4 km/hr. A boat goes 120 km and comes back to the starting point in 40 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Let the speed of the boat in still water be v km/hr. Going down the stream the speed is v + 4 and coming back it is v - 4, and the total time is 40 hours.
\[ \frac{120}{v+4} + \frac{120}{v-4} = 40 \]
\[ \frac{240v}{v^{2}-16} = 40 \Rightarrow v^{2} - 6v - 16 = 0 \]
This gives v = 8, so the speed in still water is 8 km/hr, option (B). Speeds of 15 and 10 would take much less than 40 hours. Check: 120 / 12 = 10 hours downstream and 120 / 4 = 30 hours upstream, and 10 + 30 = 40 hours, which agrees with the given time.
The points A(1, 5), B(2, 3) and C(-2, 11) are:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Collinear
Three points lie on one line exactly when the slopes between them agree.
\[m_{AB} = \frac{3-5}{2-1} = \frac{-2}{1} = -2\]
\[m_{AC} = \frac{11-5}{-2-1} = \frac{6}{-3} = -2\]
Both segments have slope \(-2\) and share the point A, so A, B and C lie on a single straight line and cannot form a triangle of any kind. The line itself is \(y = -2x + 7\), and each of the three points satisfies it.
What is the common ratio of the Geometric Progression (G.P.) 3, 6, 12, 24, ...?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Divide any term by the one before it.
\[ \frac{6}{3} = \frac{12}{6} = \frac{24}{12} = 2 \]
If Aug 15th,2012 falls on Thursday then June 11th,2013 falls on which day ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
First,we count the number of odd days for the left over days in the given period.
Here,given period is 15.8.2012 to 11.6.2013
Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun
16 30 31 30 31 31 28 31 30 31 11(left days)
2 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 0 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 4 (odd days) = 6 odd days
So,given day Thursday + 6 = Wednesday is the required result.
What will be ratio of simple to compound interest on two same sums invested in SBI at rate of interest of 8% kept for 3 years?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
\[ A = P\left(1 + \frac{R}{100}\right)^{n}, \qquad \text{CI} = A - P, \qquad \text{SI} = \frac{PRn}{100} \]
Take the common sum as \( P \). Over 3 years at 8%:
\[ \text{SI} = P \times 0.08 \times 3 = 0.24P \]
\[ \text{CI} = P\left[(1.08)^{3} - 1\right] = P(1.259712 - 1) = 0.259712P \]
\[ \frac{\text{SI}}{\text{CI}} = \frac{0.24}{0.259712} = \frac{240000}{259712} = \frac{1875}{2029} \]
The sum cancels, so the ratio holds for any principal. Compound interest is always the larger of the two beyond the first year, so the ratio must be less than 1.

Arguments:
1. Yes, Most of the energy sources used at present are exhaustible.
2. No. Harnessing solar energy requires a lot of capital, which India lacks.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Only argument I is strong
Argument 1 gives the decisive reason: the fuels now in use will run out, while sunlight will not. Argument 2 raises the cost of harnessing it, but a large initial outlay is a reason for planning the investment rather than for forgoing the source. Only I is strong.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: QRSP
The sentence reads:
At least five persons were killed and 32 injured when a passenger train rammed into a stationary goods train early today.
Q is the only main clause and must open the sentence. R begins the when clause and S completes it. P is a time adverb and goes at the end, where it cannot be mistaken for part of the collision.

It should read did the bells ring.
No sooner ... than requires inversion, and the sentence is past, so did the bells ring. The subject bells is plural, which rules out the singular alternatives.

General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 14 To 20 ] :
Where was 'Rajasthan sewa Sangh' founded by Vijay Singh Pathik in 1919?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The Rajasthan Seva Sangh was founded at Wardha.
Vijay Singh Pathik, the leader of the Bijolia peasant movement, founded the Rajasthan Seva Sangh at Wardha in 1919. The next year its headquarters moved to Ajmer, from where it organised peasant agitations in the princely states of Rajputana.
Ajmer is the trap: it became the Sangh's base, but it was not where the Sangh was founded. Delhi and Calcutta are unconnected with it.
Which of the following is the oldest names we come across in the Rigveda for present day Jodhpur?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The key gives Maru.
Maru, the desert land, is the old name of the region of present-day Jodhpur; Marwar ('land of Maru') descends from it. In the standard Rajasthan history syllabus Maru is given as the earliest name found for this tract.
The other names belong to other regions: Jangal (Jangaldesh) is the Bikaner area, Shursena covered Bharatpur, Dholpur and Karauli, and Matsya the region of Jaipur, Alwar and Bharatpur.
Jatakas are the stories of
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The Jatakas are stories of the Buddha's previous lives (printed 'Budha').
The Jataka tales, part of the Pali Buddhist canon, are more than 500 stories of the Bodhisattva's earlier births, in human and animal forms, each illustrating a virtue such as generosity or patience. Many are carved on the railings of Bharhut and Sanchi.
They are not about Mahavira's life or the saints of Jainism; Jain stories of Mahavira are in texts such as the Kalpasutra. The Buddha, having renounced family life, did not found a line of descendants whose lives the tales could tell.

The prevailing westerlies blow between approximately
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: 30° and 60° latitude
The westerlies blow between about 30° and 60° in both hemispheres, from the subtropical high pressure belts towards the subpolar lows. They are called westerlies because they come from the west, winds being named for their source. They arise as air moving poleward from the subtropical highs is deflected by the Coriolis effect - to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern, which turns a poleward flow into a westerly one in both cases. They are far stronger and steadier in the southern hemisphere, where little land interrupts them, giving the Roaring Forties, Furious Fifties and Shrieking Sixties that sailing ships used and feared. They steer the mid-latitude depressions that bring most of the weather to Europe and North America, and they carry the jet stream, which is why flights from India to Europe take longer than the return. The trades occupy 0–30° and the polar easterlies 60–90°.
Administrators of Union Territories are responsible to the
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Administrators of Union Territories are responsible to the president.
Article 239 provides that every Union Territory is administered by the president through an administrator appointed by him. Unlike a governor, an administrator is an agent of the president rather than a constitutional head in his own right.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Between the English East India Company and Tipu Sultan.
The Treaty of Mangalore of 1784 ended the Second Anglo-Mysore War on terms of mutual restitution - the last occasion on which an Indian power dictated terms to the Company. Haidar Ali had died in 1782, during the war.
