Directions : Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the correct/most appropriate options :
Learning a language under any circumstances requires hard work and concentration. However, the circumstances can make a difference in both quality and quantity. Most foreign language students learn in a classroom, from a text-book. In a classroom, language learning can be controlled so that all the necessary structures are taught. Highly motivated students can thus learn the language efficiently and quickly. Learning on the streets and in the markets from experience and need can be effective although the student learns only what he happens to need, in a haphazard way.
Some language students find this real-life situation more meaningful because the students' success in fulfilling their needs depends on their language ability. However, shop-keepers are more likely to be tolerant of incorrect grammar than classroom teachers, so mispronunciations and errors will not matter much. Nevertheless, the rewards are different for the type of language learning situations. They are immediate (goods, bought in a store) in the real-life but delayed until a quiz or oral recital for the classroom learner.
The kind of language learnt in each setting differs too. In the classroom, the student is more likely to learn the grammatical language of educated people. The language learnt out of necessity often lacks the fine details of the classroom variety and might include informal expressions such as slang. The people learning on the street must be easily understood. Therefore, they might actually sound more like native speakers - although not necessarily educated people. So a combination of classroom instruction and the experience of using language in the street will result in the best language learning of all.

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 3 ] :
Two dice are tossed simultaneously. Find the probability that the total is a prime number.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Two dice give 36 outcomes. The prime totals are 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11.
- sum 2: 1 way
- sum 3: 2 ways
- sum 5: 4 ways
- sum 7: 6 ways
- sum 11: 2 ways
\[ 1 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 2 = 15 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad P = \frac{15}{36} = \frac{5}{12} \]
9 is not prime (\( 3 \times 3 \)) and neither is 1, which is where miscounts usually creep in.
Peter invested an amount of Rs. 12,000 at the rate of 10% p.a simple interest and another amount at the rate of 20% p.a. simple interest. The total interest earned at the end of one year on the total amount invested became 14% p.a. Find the total amount invested?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Let the second amount be Rs. x. Then,
(12000 * 10 * 1)/100 + (x * 20 * 1)/100 = [(12000 + x) * 14 * 1] / 100
120000 + 20x = 16800 + 14x
x = 8000
Total investment = 12000 + 8000 = Rs. 20,000.
A train crosses a platform 250 m long in 30 seconds and a signal pole in 15 seconds. What is the length of the train ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: 250 m
Let the length be \(L\) and the speed \(v\). Passing the pole covers \(L\), and passing the platform covers \(L + 250\).
\[\frac{L}{v} = 15, \qquad \frac{L + 250}{v} = 30\]
Subtracting, \(\tfrac{250}{v} = 15\), so \(v = \tfrac{50}{3}\) m/s and \(L = 15 \times \tfrac{50}{3} = 250\) m.
The extra 15 seconds is exactly the time to cover the platform alone.
Reasoning [ Question No: 4 To 7 ] :
All animals have
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Instincts
The question asks what is always present, not what usually is. Every animal has instincts - inborn patterns of behaviour that need no learning. Eyes are absent in some, four legs in most, and horns in all but a few.
There are five different houses, A to E, in a row. A is to the right of B and E is to the left of C and right of A. B is to the right of D. Which of the houses is in the middle ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: A
Build the row from the clues. B is right of D, so D – B. A is right of B, so D – B – A. E is right of A and left of C, so E follows A and C follows E. The complete order is D, B, A, E, C, and the house in the middle of five is the third, which is A.
The following question is based on the following alphabet series.
A B C D E F G H I J K L M
N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
If the alternate letters in the given alphabet starting from A are written in small and rest all in capital letters, which of the following will represent the third month after July ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The new alphabet series is :
a B c D e F g H i J k L m
N o P q R s T u V w X y Z
The third month after July is October.
Clearly, 'OCTOBER' will be written as 'ocToBeR'.
If Neena says, "Anita`s father Raman is the only son of my father-in-law Mahipal", then how is Bindu, who is the sister of Anita, related to Mahipal ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Only son of Neena's father--in-law Mahipal -- Neena's husband.
So, Raman is Neena's husband and Anita and Bindu are his daughters.
Thus, Bindu is the grand daughter of Mahipal.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
A text-book controls language learning.
The passage says most foreign language students learn from a text-book in a classroom, 'where language learning can be controlled so that all the necessary structures are taught'. The text-book is the tool that sets what is taught and in what order.
It is highly motivated students, not the text-book, who are said to learn efficiently, so the book does not motivate them. A text-book teaches the structures set out in it, not what a student happens to need, which is how the passage describes street learning. Its cost is not discussed.

(Q) who was lately wounded in a duel
(R) written in the most passionate terms

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: PRSQ
The sentence reads:
This is a letter from a young lady written in the most passionate terms wherein she laments the misfortune of a gentleman who was lately wounded in a duel.
P attaches to letter, and R is a participle describing the same letter, so both stay near it. S opens the wherein clause, and Q is a relative clause describing the gentleman, so it must follow him immediately.
Direction for [ Question No: 10 To 10 ] :
In the following section the sentences have been given in Direct or Indirect speech. From the given alternatives, choose the most appropriate sentence that best suits the given sentence in Indirect or Direct speech.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: His father said, “Go to your room and study.”
Working backwards: ordered him to go to his room and study unpacks into an imperative, with his room becoming your room. The other options reorder the words or add a manner the report does not contain.
Direction for [ Question No: 11 To 11 ] :
In the questions below the sentences have been given in Active/Passive voice. From the given alternatives, choose the one which best expresses the given sentence in Passive/Active voice.
I did not trust anybody.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Nobody was trusted by me.
The negative moves into the new subject: did not trust anybody becomes nobody was trusted. Keeping anybody with a positive verb reverses the meaning, and the perfect and conditional options change the tense.
Direction for [ Question No: 12 To 12 ] :
Some proverbs/idioms are given below together with their meanings. Choose the correct meaning of proverb/idiom.
Bury the hatchet
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
It means to make peace.
To bury the hatchet is to end a quarrel, from the Native American custom of burying weapons when hostilities ceased.
Direction for [ Question No: 13 To 13 ] :
In questions given below out of four alternatives, choose the one which can be substituted for the given word/sentence.
A part of a word that can be pronounced separately.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
It is a syllable.
A syllable is a unit of pronunciation with one vowel sound. A letter is a written character, a particle a small function word and a sibilant a hissing sound.
Computer Awareness [ Question No: 14 To 17 ] :
How much video RAM is needed to display 1024x768 at 24-bit color?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: 4MB
Twenty-four bits is three bytes per pixel:
\[ 1024\times 768\times 3 = 2{,}359{,}296\ \text{bytes} \approx 2.25\ \text{MB} \]
More than 2 MB is needed, and cards are supplied in powers of two, so 4 MB is the size required.
Shimmer, Sparkle text, Blinking Background etc. are known as
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: text effects
Shimmer, sparkle and blinking background are animations applied to selected text, listed on the Text Effects tab. They appear on screen only and do not print.
In MS Word, which shortcut moves the cursor to the beginning of the document?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: Ctrl + Home
Ctrl + Home moves the cursor to the very beginning of the document, and Ctrl + End to the very end. Without Ctrl, the same keys work within a line: Home goes to the start of the current line and End to its end. Page Up and Page Down move by one screen. The navigation shortcuts form a consistent family once the pattern is seen: Ctrl extends the scope of a movement key. Ctrl + Left and Ctrl + Right move by whole words rather than characters, and Ctrl + Up and Ctrl + Down by paragraphs. Adding Shift to any of them selects the text passed over, so Ctrl + Shift + End selects from the cursor to the end of the document - the quickest way to cut a long document in two. A useful extra: Shift + F5 returns to the last place edited, even after reopening the file.
Which item is printed at the bottom of each page
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Footer
The footer is the area at the bottom of every page, holding whatever is to repeat there - page number, date, document title. A footnote also sits at the foot of a page, but only where a reference calls for it.
