Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 14 ] :
A bucket of capacity 2000 mL is to be filled by using containers measuring 200 mL and 300 mL. Which one of the following combinations of containers is not correct for filling the bucket completely by the containers of 200 mL and 300 mL respectively?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The combination that does not work is 6, 3.
\[ 6 \times 200 + 3 \times 300 = 1200 + 900 = 2100\ \text{mL} \]
That overflows the 2000 mL bucket. The other combinations fill it exactly: 1 × 200 + 6 × 300 = 2000; 4 × 200 + 4 × 300 = 2000; and 7 × 200 + 2 × 300 = 2000.
The expression 9x2 - 12xy + 21x + 4y2 - 14y + 12 is factorised as :
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The factorisation is (3x - 2y + 3)(3x - 2y + 4).
Group the terms around \(t = 3x - 2y\):
\[ \begin{aligned} 9x^{2} - 12xy + 4y^{2} &= (3x - 2y)^{2} = t^{2} \\ 21x - 14y &= 7(3x - 2y) = 7t \end{aligned} \]
So the expression is a quadratic in \(t\):
\[ \begin{aligned} t^{2} + 7t + 12 &= (t + 3)(t + 4) \\ &= (3x - 2y + 3)(3x - 2y + 4) \end{aligned} \]
Options with \(3x + 2y\) would give \(+12xy\) and \(+14y\), the wrong signs. (t + 2)(t + 6) multiplies out to \(t^{2} + 8t + 12\), not \(t^{2} + 7t + 12\).
Two numbers, A and B, are in the ratio of 10 : 13. If 90 is subtracted from each of them, the resulting numbers are in the ratio of 7 : 10. If 57 is added to A and 16 is subtracted from B, then the ratio of the resulting numbers will be:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The ratio is 21 : 22. Let the numbers be \(10k\) and \(13k\). \[ \frac{10k-90}{13k-90} = \frac{7}{10} \] \[ 100k - 900 = 91k - 630 \] \[ 9k = 270,\quad k = 30 \] So A = 300 and B = 390. Adding 57 to A and subtracting 16 from B: \[ A = 357,\quad B = 374 \] \[ 357 : 374 = 21 : 22 \] since both are divisible by 17. The ratios 19 : 20, 20 : 21 and 22 : 23 do not match 357 : 374. Check: with \(k = 30\) the numbers are 300 and 390, and after subtracting 90 they become 210 and 300, which is 7 : 10 as the question says.
Find the value of \(0.5 \times 0.05 \times 500\).
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
We can multiply sequentially.
\(0.5 \times 0.05 = 0.025\).
Now, \(0.025 \times 500 = 25 \times 0.5 = 12.5\).
Alternatively, write as fractions: \((\frac{1}{2}) \times (\frac{5}{100}) \times 500 = (\frac{1}{2}) \times (\frac{1}{20}) \times 500 = \frac{500}{40} = \frac{50}{4} = 12.5\).
What is the value of \(\cos 38° \cos 52° - \sin 38° \sin 52°\)?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
This expression is in the form of the cosine addition formula: \(\cos(A+B) = \cos A \cos B - \sin A \sin B\).
Here, A = 38° and B = 52°.
The expression is equal to \(\cos(38° + 52°) = \cos(90°)\).
The value of \(\cos 90°\) is 0.
The points A(4, 7), B(p, 3) and C(7, 3) are the vertices of a right triangle with the right angle at B. The value of p is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
If the right angle is at B, then the sides AB and BC are perpendicular. The product of their slopes must be -1.
Slope of AB = \(\frac{3-7}{p-4} = \frac{-4}{p-4}\).
Slope of BC = \(\frac{3-3}{7-p} = \frac{0}{7-p} = 0\).
A slope of 0 means BC is a horizontal line. For AB to be perpendicular to a horizontal line, it must be a vertical line. A vertical line has an undefined slope, which happens when its denominator is 0.
So, p - 4 = 0, which means p = 4.
An aeroplane when 900 m high passes vertically above another aeroplane at an instant when their angles of elevation at same observing point are 60° and 45° respectively. Approximately, how many meters higher is the one than the other?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Both aircraft are on the same vertical line, so they share one horizontal distance \( d \) from the observer.
For the upper plane at 900 m, elevation 60°:
\[ \tan 60^{\circ} = \frac{900}{d} \quad\Longrightarrow\quad d = \frac{900}{\sqrt{3}} = 300\sqrt{3} = 519.6 \text{ m} \]
For the lower plane, elevation 45°:
\[ h = d\tan 45^{\circ} = 519.6 \text{ m} \]
\[ \text{difference} = 900 - 519.6 = 380.4 \approx 381 \text{ m} \]
The steeper 60° sighting must belong to the higher aircraft, which fixes which angle goes with which plane.
24 cards numbered 1, 2, 3, …., 23, 24 are put in a box and mixed thoroughly. One person draws a card from the box. The probability that the number on the card is divisible by 2 or 3 or both is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The total possible outcomes = 24
Numbers divisible by only 2 are 2, 4, 8, 10, 14, 16, 20, 22 (8 numbers) --- (1)
Numbers divisible only by 3 are 3, 9, 15, 21 (4 numbers) --- (2)
Numbers divisible by both 2 and 3 are 6, 12, 18, 24 (4 numbers) --- (3)
From (1), (2) and (3), we see that the number of favourable outcomes is 16 (i.e., 8 + 4 + 4).
We know that, Probability of an event E, P (E) =number of favourable outcomes/ total number of outcomes
=16/24
=2/3
The area of a sector of a circle of radius 5 cm formed by an arc of length 3.5 cm is?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
A sector is a triangle-like wedge whose "base" is its arc and whose "height" is the radius:
\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times r \times \text{arc length} \]
\[ = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 3.5 = 8.75 \text{ cm}^{2} \]
This form needs no angle at all. It follows from \( A = \tfrac{\theta}{2\pi}\pi r^{2} \) and \( \text{arc} = r\theta \), which combine to give exactly \( \tfrac{1}{2}r \times \text{arc} \).
Find the cost of fencing around a circular field of diameter 28 m at the rate of Rs.1.50 a meter?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Fencing follows the circumference, and the diameter is given directly.
\[ C = \pi d = \frac{22}{7} \times 28 = 88 \text{ m} \]
\[ \text{cost} = 88 \times 1.50 = \text{Rs. } 132 \]
Using \( 2\pi d \) - effectively treating 28 as the radius - would double the answer to Rs. 264.
The cross-section of a cannel is a trapezium in shape. If the cannel is 10 m wide at the top and 6 m wide at the bottom and the area of cross-section is 640 sq m, the depth of cannel is?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
A trapezium's area is the average of the parallel sides times the depth between them.
\[ A = \frac{1}{2}(a + b)h \]
\[ 640 = \frac{1}{2}(10 + 6)h = 8h \]
\[ h = 80 \text{ m} \]
The two widths must be averaged, not added outright: using 16 as the effective width would halve the depth to 40 m.
What time will be taken by an amount of Rs. 900 to yield Rs. 81 as interest at 4.5% per annum of simple interest?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
P= Rs 900
Rate = 4.5*
SI= Rs 81
=> SI= Time*P*rate
calculating for rate,
=> Time= SI/rate*P
= 81/4.5%*900
=> 2 years
Thus, it will take 2 years to yield Rs 81.
Two trains 120 m and 180 m long are running in opposite directions at 54 km/hr and 36 km/hr. How long will they take to cross each other ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: 12 seconds
Moving in opposite directions, the speeds add.
\[54 + 36 = 90 \text{ km/hr} = 90 \times \frac{5}{18} = 25 \text{ m/s}\]
They must together cover the sum of their lengths, 300 m.
\[t = \frac{300}{25} = 12 \text{ seconds}\]

Analog Electronics [ Question No: 15 To 15 ] :
If the base current is 30 μA and current gain is 50, then the collector current will be :
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The collector current is 1.5 mA.
The current gain \(\beta\) relates collector current to base current:
\[ \begin{aligned} I_{C} &= \beta I_{B} = 50 \times 30\ \mu\text{A} \\ &= 1500\ \mu\text{A} = 1.5\ \text{mA} \end{aligned} \]
15 mA and 150 mA come from slipping the decimal point by one or two places when converting microamperes to milliamperes, and 1.5 A treats the base current as 30 mA. A useful check is that small-signal transistors biased with tens of microamperes of base current carry collector currents of a few milliamperes.
Electromagnetic Field Theory [ Question No: 16 To 17 ] :
Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using codes given below :
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| (a) Maxwell's equation based on Ampere's law | (i) \(\nabla \cdot \bar{B} = 0\) |
| (b) Maxwell's second equation based on Faraday's law | (ii) \(\nabla\times\bar{H}=\left(\bar{J}+\frac{\partial\bar{D}}{\partial t}\right)\) |
| (c) Maxwell's third equation based on Gauss' law | (iii) \(\nabla \cdot \bar{D} = \rho\) |
| (d) Maxwell's fourth equation based on non-existence of magnetic monopole | (iv) \(\nabla \times \bar{E} = \dfrac{-\partial \bar{B}}{\partial t}\) |
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The correct matching is a-ii, b-iv, c-iii, d-i.
- Ampere's law, with Maxwell's displacement current: \(\nabla \times \bar{H} = \bar{J} + \partial\bar{D}/\partial t\) (ii).
- Faraday's law: \(\nabla \times \bar{E} = -\partial\bar{B}/\partial t\) (iv).
- Gauss' law for electric fields: \(\nabla \cdot \bar{D} = \rho\) (iii).
- No magnetic monopoles: \(\nabla \cdot \bar{B} = 0\) (i).
The curl equations describe circulation (Ampere and Faraday) and the divergence equations describe sources (charge, and the absence of magnetic charge). The near-miss code swaps the two divergence equations, giving the monopole law the charge density.
True or false: Ampere's law holds only for paths of high symmetry.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The law is exact for any closed path whatever. Symmetry is needed only to extract the field from under the integral sign: without it the line integral still equals the enclosed current but the field cannot be solved for.
Mathematical Physics [ Question No: 18 To 18 ] :
Value of \(\oint_{c} \frac{dz}{(z+2)}\), \(c : |z| = 1\) is :
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The integral is zero.
The integrand \(1/(z+2)\) has a single simple pole, at \(z = -2\). The contour is the unit circle \(|z| = 1\), and since \(|-2| = 2 \gt 1\) the pole lies outside it. Inside and on the contour the function is analytic, so by Cauchy's theorem
\[ \oint_{|z|=1} \frac{dz}{z+2} = 0 \]
The value \(2\pi i\) would be the answer only if the pole were enclosed (residue 1 times \(2\pi i\)); \(-2\pi i\) is that with the contour traversed clockwise, and \(\pi i\) arises for a pole lying on a contour, in the principal-value sense. None of these applies here.
Quantum Mechanics [ Question No: 19 To 19 ] :
Given \(|v_{1}\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ i \end{pmatrix}\) and \(|v_{2}\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ -i \end{pmatrix}\), the tensor product \(|v_{1}\rangle \otimes |v_{2}\rangle\) is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The tensor product is \(\frac{1}{2}(1, -i, i, 1)^{T}\), a column vector.
For column vectors \(a\) and \(b\), the tensor product is the column \((a_{1}b_{1}, a_{1}b_{2}, a_{2}b_{1}, a_{2}b_{2})^{T}\). With \(a = (1, i)\), \(b = (1, -i)\) and the prefactor \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{1}{2}\):
\[ \begin{aligned} a_{1}b_{1} &= 1, \quad a_{1}b_{2} = -i \\ a_{2}b_{1} &= i, \quad a_{2}b_{2} = (i)(-i) = 1 \end{aligned} \]
The option \((1, i, -i, 1)\) is \(|v_{2}\rangle \otimes |v_{1}\rangle\), the product taken in the other order. The two 2 by 2 matrices are outer products of the form \(|v\rangle\langle w|\), not the tensor product of two kets, which is a four-component column.
Thermodynamics [ Question No: 20 To 20 ] :
The temperature of the working fluid in a real heat engine cycle changes during heat addition and heat rejection processes. The maximum and minimum temperatures of the cycle are \(T_{\max}\) and \(T_{\min}\), respectively. If \(\eta_{C}\) is the thermal efficiency of a Carnot engine operating between these temperature limits, then the thermal efficiency, \(\eta\) of the real heat engine satisfies the relation
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The real engine satisfies \(\eta \lt \eta_{C}\).
The Carnot efficiency \(\eta_{C} = 1 - T_{min}/T_{max}\) is the highest possible for any engine working between these temperature limits. A real engine falls short for two reasons: it is irreversible, and its heat is added and rejected over a range of temperatures, so the mean temperature of heat addition is below \(T_{max}\) and the mean temperature of rejection is above \(T_{min}\).
\(\eta \gt \eta_{C}\) would violate the second law, \(\eta = \eta_{C}\) needs a fully reversible engine with heat exchange only at the extremes, and \(1 + \eta_{C}\) exceeds 100%.
