Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
Usually the first question I ask a newbie birder is, "What do you think is the most important physical requisite to be a birder ? Your eyes, your ears, your nose or any other ?"
Most often, the answer is "eyes", but several do home into what is the most important faculty - at least, according to me : your ears. Spotting birds in foliage is hard enough, but if you hear them, you know they are there.
But early the other morning, I realised it went much beyond that. The first bird call I heard as I left the house for my walk was the madcap ringing laugh of black-rumped flameback, earlier known as the golden-backed woodpecker. It was a wild, exultant laugh that set the tone and mood for the entire day. And then I realised that every bird call evokes a different reaction, memory or emotion in the listener.
Indian mynas, for example, invariably remind me of people in Delhi-always ready to argue and pick a fight, belligerent and in your face. Yet, they taught me not to make sweeping generalisations because when a pair perch on the window sill in the afternoons, they have meaningful civilised conversations with each other. There is inquiry, humour and affection in their voices.
'..... belligerent in your face.'

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 1 ] :
A person sold an article for Rs. 282 and incurred a loss of 6%.What should be the selling price in order to earn a profit of 6%?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The selling price should be Rs. 318. A sale at Rs. 282 with a loss of 6% means 282 is 94% of the cost price, so \[ CP = \frac{282}{0.94} = 300 \] To earn a profit of 6% the selling price must be \[ 300\times 1.06 = 318 \] Rs. 300 is the cost price itself, Rs. 208 and Rs. 420 are unrelated values, so only Rs. 318 is right.
Reasoning [ Question No: 2 To 3 ] :
Which of the following is/are correct?
1. If P is taller than Q, and Q is shorter than R, then P must be the tallest among the three.
2. If X runs faster than Y, and Y runs as fast as Z, then X runs faster than Z.
Select the answer using the codes given below:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
2 only is correct.
Statement 1 does not follow. P is taller than Q and R is taller than Q, but nothing compares P with R, so P need not be the tallest; R could be taller than P.
Statement 2 follows. Y and Z run at the same speed, and X is faster than Y, so X is faster than Z.
The difference is that statement 2 chains through an equality, while statement 1 has both comparisons pointing at Q, which leaves P and R unordered.
If P $ Q means P is the brother of Q; P # Q means P is the mother of Q; P * Q means P is the daughter of Q in A # B $ C * D, who is the father?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
A is the mother of B, B is the brother of C and C is the daughter of D. Hence, D is the father.

Fill in the blanks with the correct option.
That evening the storm rolled in and there was plenty of thunder and __________ .
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The correct word is Lightning: plenty of thunder and lightning.
Lightning is the flash of electricity in the sky during a storm, the natural partner of thunder in the fixed phrase thunder and lightning.
Lightening is the present participle of lighten, meaning making lighter in weight or colour, so it is a common misspelling here. Roaring and thundering describe sound, and thunder has already supplied the sound in the sentence.

The underlined word nearly means the same as :
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
'Belligerent' nearly means the same as hostile.
A belligerent person is aggressive and ready to fight or argue, from the Latin for 'waging war'. The writer uses it of mynas that seem always ready to pick a fight.
Noisy describes loudness rather than aggression, musical describes pleasant sound, and different has nothing to do with the meaning.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
It means a secret.
A hole-and-corner affair is one conducted secretly and furtively, in holes and corners rather than in the open.
Complete the sentence by choosing appropriate word from the given options :
The Republic Day was __________ with due solemnity.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The answer is observed: The Republic Day was observed with due solemnity.
To observe a day is to mark it formally with the proper ceremonies and respect, and it collocates naturally with with due solemnity, which stresses dignity and seriousness.
Celebrated suggests festivity and rejoicing, which sits less well with solemnity. Enjoyed describes personal pleasure, and performed is used of ceremonies or duties, not of a day.
Choose the grammatically correct sentence.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: It is far too hard an essay for me to attempt.
Far intensifies too and must stand immediately before it. The rest follows the fixed pattern too + adjective + a/an + noun + for + person + to + verb.
Why the others fail:
- too far hard - far now modifies hard, which is not English.
- Too far it is an essay hard for me… - the word order is broken throughout.
- for me to far attempt - far is stranded inside the infinitive.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
It is would.
Would is the auxiliary used in conditional sentences. Wood is the material, and the l of would is silent, so the two sound the same.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: Message Integrity

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: A browser
A browser requests pages over HTTP and renders the HTML it receives. A protocol is the set of rules it uses, not the program.
The state transition initiated by the user process itself in an operating system is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: block
A process moves itself from running to blocked by asking for something not yet available - an input operation, or a semaphore held by another process. That transition is the one the process initiates. Dispatch, timer run-out and wake-up are all imposed on it by the scheduler or by another process.

Kota, Dungarpur and Banswara joined the later Rajasthan Union, Abu was not part of Matsya, and Jaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner and Jaisalmer joined in 1949 to form Greater Rajasthan.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Geographical isolation leads to speciation through reproductive isolation.
Once a barrier divides a population, the two halves accumulate different mutations and experience different selection. Given long enough they diverge so far that they can no longer interbreed even if brought together - allopatric speciation.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Nitrogen forms three covalent bonds.
It has five valence electrons and needs three more for an octet, so it shares three pairs - as in \(\mathrm{NH_3}\) and \(\mathrm{N_2}\). It can go to a fourth bond only by donating its lone pair as a coordinate bond, giving \(\mathrm{NH_4^+}\); with no d-orbitals it can never exceed four.

Correct Answer : A
The Olympic Games are held every four years, the interval the Greeks called an Olympiad.
Since 1994 the Winter and Summer Games have been staggered, each still on its own four-year cycle but two years apart, so an Olympics of one kind or the other falls every second year.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Three-dimensional photographs made with laser light are holograms.
A hologram records the interference pattern between light reflected from the object and a reference beam, so it stores the phase of the light as well as its intensity. Illuminating the record reconstructs the wavefront, and the image shifts as the viewer moves, as a real object would.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Antidiuretic hormone makes the walls of the arterioles contract and stimulates the reabsorption of water from the kidney tubules, so less urine is passed and blood volume rises.
It is made in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary when the blood becomes too concentrated. Its other name, vasopressin, refers to the same vessel-constricting effect.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
It was E. M. Forster.
A Passage to India, published in 1924, turns on what happened, or did not happen, in the Marabar Caves, and on the impossibility of friendship between English and Indian under the Raj. Victor Banerjee acted in David Lean's film of it.
