Mahatma Gandhi believed that industrialisation was no answer to the problems that plague the mass of India's poor and that villagers should be taught to be self-sufficient in food, weave their own cloth from cotton and eschew the glittering prizes that the 20th century so temptingly offers. Such an idyllic and rural paradise did not appear to those who inherited the reins of political power.

Speech is a great blessing but it can also be a great curse, for while it helps us to make our intentions and desires known to our fellows, it can also if we use it carelessly, make our attitude completely misunderstood. A slip of the tongue, the use of unusual word, or of an ambiguous word, and so on, may create an enemy where we had hoped to win a friend. Again, different classes of people use different vocabularies, and the ordinary speech of an educated man may strike an uneducated listener as pompous. Unwittingly, we may use a word which bears a different meaning to our listener from what it does to men of our own class. Thus speech is not a gift to use lightly without thought, but one which demands careful handling. Only a fool will express himself alike to all kinds and conditions of men.

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 7 ] :
If \(x/y = 6/5\), the value of \(\frac{x^2+y^2}{x^2-y^2}\) is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Take \( x = 6k \) and \( y = 5k \).
\[ \frac{x^{2}+y^{2}}{x^{2}-y^{2}} = \frac{36k^{2}+25k^{2}}{36k^{2}-25k^{2}} \]
\[ = \frac{61}{11} \]
The \( k^{2} \) cancels, so only the ratio matters.
What is the slope of the line passing through the points (2, 3) and (4, 7)?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
\[ m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} = \frac{7-3}{4-2} = 2 \]
What is the unit digit of \(37^{37} - 23^{23}\)?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
We find the unit digit of each term. For \(37^{37}\), we need the unit digit of \(7^{37}\). Cycle for 7 is (7,9,3,1), length 4. \(37\div 4\) rem 1. So unit digit is 7. For \(23^{23}\), we need the unit digit of \(3^{23}\). Cycle for 3 is (3,9,7,1), length 4. \(23\div 4\) rem 3. So unit digit is 7. The unit digit of the difference is the unit digit of \(7-7=0\). The result is 0.
A is 2 1/3 times as fast as B. If A gives B a start of 80 m, how long should the race course be so that both of them reach at the same time?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
A is \( 2\tfrac{1}{3} = \tfrac{7}{3} \) times as fast as B, and B starts 80 m ahead. Let the course be \( d \) metres.
\[ \frac{d}{7/3} = \frac{d - 80}{1} \]
\[ 3d = 7d - 560 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad 4d = 560 \]
\[ d = 140 \text{ m} \]
Checking: A runs 140 m while B runs 60, and \( \tfrac{140}{60} = \tfrac{7}{3} \).
The perimeter of a triangle is 28 cm and the inradius of the triangle is 2.5 cm. What is the area of the triangle?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The inradius relates the area to the semi-perimeter:
\[ A = r \times s, \qquad s = \frac{28}{2} = 14 \]
\[ A = 2.5 \times 14 = 35 \text{ cm}^{2} \]
35 cm² is not among the choices, so the answer is none of these. The 70 cm² on offer comes from using the full perimeter instead of the semi-perimeter.
Sum of 5x + 3y and 4x - 2y is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Add like terms.
\[ (5x + 3y) + (4x - 2y) = (5x + 4x) + (3y - 2y) \]
\[ = 9x + y \]
The \( y \) terms leave a coefficient of 1, which is written without the digit.
In a certain store, the profit is \(320\) % of the cost. If the cost increases by \(25\) % but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Let Cost price \(= Rs. 100.\) Then, Profit \(= Rs. 320\)
Selling price \(= Rs. 420.\)
New Cost price \(= 125\)% of \(Rs. 100 = Rs. 125\)
New Selling price \(= Rs. 420.\)
Profit \(= Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295.\)
\(\therefore\) Required percentage \(= (\frac{295}{420} \times 100)\)% \(= \frac{1475}{21}\)% \(= 70\)%(approximately)

A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a circle facing the centre. B is third to the right of F and third to the left of H. C is fourth to the left of A, who is not an immediate neighbour of F or B. E is not an immediate neighbour of B. G is second to the right of D.
Who is third to the left of E?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: G
Facing the centre, each person’s left is the next seat clockwise and their right the next seat anticlockwise. Fix B; F sits three to B’s left and H three to B’s right. A may touch neither F nor B, which leaves A only one seat, and C sits opposite her. G, with D two seats to G’s left, then fits in one way only, and E takes the last seat, clear of B as required. Clockwise the circle reads B → D → C → F → E → H → A → G.
Counting three seats to E’s left - clockwise - gives H, A and then G.

Sweet, bitter and salty are all tastes. Insipid means having no taste at all, so it denotes the absence of the quality the other three describe.
The least number of squares to be added in the figure to make AB a line of symmetry is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
At least 6 squares must be added.
Look carefully at the drawing. Above the line AB there is one square. Below the line there are five: in the left group a square to the left of the vertical column and a square at the bottom of that column; in the right group two squares side by side with one more below the right-hand one. The cell directly below the upper square is not a square: it has no right-hand side, so it is only the gap between drawn squares.
For AB to be a line of symmetry, every square must have a mirror image on the other side. Each of the five squares below needs a partner above (5 squares), and the square above needs a partner directly below it, which is missing (1 square). That makes 6.
5 is the answer you get if you read the open cell below the upper square as a square; 4 and 7 do not match any count of the figure.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Unless you do (i), you cannot have (ii)
Eschewing the glittering prizes is the condition; the rural paradise is what follows from meeting it. The passage puts them in that order - villagers are to be self-sufficient and to eschew the prizes, and the result is called the idyllic paradise. They are therefore neither identical nor opposite: one is the means and the other the end.

The passage lists what turns a would-be friend into an enemy: a slip of the tongue, the use of an unusual word, or of an ambiguous word. Ambiguity is named there, and the paragraph goes on to explain the danger - that a word may bear a different meaning to our listener than to us. Pomposity is mentioned, but as how the educated sound, not as what loses a friend.

Computer Awareness [ Question No: 17 To 20 ] :
What does ‘spam’ mean in the context of email?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: Unsolicited bulk messages sent indiscriminately
Spam is unsolicited bulk email, sent indiscriminately to very large numbers of recipients, usually advertising something or attempting fraud. It is economically viable because the marginal cost of sending a message is essentially zero, so a response rate of one in a million can still pay. That asymmetry - negligible cost to the sender, real cost to every recipient - is the whole of the problem, and it is a direct consequence of SMTP having been designed in an era of mutual trust, with no authentication of the sender. The countermeasures work at several levels: content filtering, often Bayesian, learning what a user treats as spam; blocklists of known senders; rate limiting; and sender verification through SPF, DKIM and DMARC, which let a domain declare which servers may send on its behalf and let receivers check the claim. The name comes from a Monty Python sketch in which the word drowns out all conversation.
______ is commonly used data format for exchanging information between computers or programs
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: ASCII
ASCII assigns a number to each character, and because almost every system uses it, plain ASCII text is the lowest common denominator for exchanging data. HTML and XML are markup languages built on top of a character encoding rather than encodings themselves.
After upgrading your computer to a new DOS version, an older application displays the error message "Incorrect DOS version". What should you do to run this application?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: Use the SETVER command
Some older programs check the DOS version and refuse to run on a later one. SETVER keeps a table of such programs and the version number each should be told, so the application sees the version it expects and runs unchanged.
Which type of software are device drivers
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: System software
A device driver is system software: it works between the operating system and a piece of hardware, turning general read and write requests into the particular commands that model understands. It serves the machine rather than the user, which is what separates system software from applications.
