Read the poem given below and answer the questions that follow :
Between my finger and my thumb
The squat pen rests: snug as a gun.
Under my window, a clean rasping sound
When the spade sings into gravelly ground.
My father, digging, I look down
Till his straining rump among the flowerbeds
Bends low, comes up twenty years away
Stooping in rhythm through potato drills,
Where he was digging
The coarse boot nestled on the lug, the shaft
Against the inside knee was levered firmly.
He rooted out tall tops, buried the bright edge deep.
To scatter new potatoes that we picked,
Loving their cool hardness in our hands.

Answer Questions no. 77 - 80 based on the above information.
Which year did the company's permanent workers contribute the minimum percentage of the total annual workhours of the entire workforce ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The permanent workers' share of workhours was lowest in 2015.
The permanent workers' share is 10P / (10P + 6T), with P and T read from the chart:
\[ \begin{aligned} 2013 &: 3250/4450 \approx 73\% \\ 2014 &: 3500/4550 \approx 77\% \\ 2015 &: 3750/5850 \approx 64\% \\ 2016 &: 4000/5470 \approx 73\% \end{aligned} \]
2015 stands out because it had by far the most temporary workers, about 350, nearly as many as its 375 permanent workers, so the temporary workers' hours took a much larger share that year than in 2013, 2014 or 2016.
Arrange the fractions in ascending order.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
\(\dfrac {5}{8} = .625\)
\(\dfrac {7}{12} = .5833\)
\(\dfrac {3}{4} = .75\)
\(\dfrac {13}{16} = .8125\)
So order will be
\(\dfrac {7}{12} < \dfrac {5}{8} < \dfrac {3}{4}< \dfrac {13}{16}\)

Two boys Nithin and Shyam walk in opposite direction for 4 km. Nithin is walking towards East. After 4 km each, both turn right and again walk 4 km each. Both turn to face each other.
In which direction is Shyam looking?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Shyam is looking South East.
Start both at a point O. Nithin walks 4 km east and turns right, so he walks south: he ends 4 km east and 4 km south of O. Shyam walks 4 km west, turns right (north) and walks 4 km: he ends 4 km west and 4 km north of O.
To face Nithin, Shyam must look east and south equally, that is, south-east. South alone or north-east would point away from Nithin's position.

Which of the following is definitely the input?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Cannot be determined
Every step of these machines moves one element to a fixed position and lets the rest close up behind it, so the original positions of the elements still waiting are lost as soon as the first move is made. The process runs one way only: from a later line you can say what will follow but never what came before, because many different inputs produce the same intermediate line. That is why the answer to any “what was the input” question of this kind is that it cannot be determined.

A cube is to be cut into 8 pieces of equal size and shape. Here, each cut should be straight and it should not stop till it reaches the other end of the cube.
The minimum number of such cuts required is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The minimum is 3 cuts.
Make one straight cut through the middle parallel to each pair of opposite faces: the first halves the cube, the second (at right angles) gives four quarters, and the third (perpendicular to both) gives eight equal smaller cubes.
Fewer cuts cannot work, because each full cut through the solid at most doubles the number of pieces, so two cuts give at most 4 pieces. Four, seven or eight cuts would produce more pieces than 8 or are more cuts than necessary.
Two quite different rules govern the letters and the numbers here. Give the term that follows.
C1, F8, I27, L64, ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: O125
Two rules run together. The letters advance three places at a time: C, F, I, L, so the next is O. The numbers are 1, 8, 27, 64 - the cubes of 1, 2, 3 and 4 - so the next is the cube of 5, which is 125. The term is O125. O100 mistakes the cubes for squares, which agree at the first two terms and diverge sharply afterwards. Cubes and squares agree at 1 and diverge at once afterwards, so checking the second term is enough to tell the two rules apart.

Complete the word analogy :
coarse : rough :: snug : ? .
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The answer is comfortable.
'Coarse' and 'rough' are synonyms. 'Snug' means warm, cosy and comfortable, or fitting closely and neatly, so its synonym here is 'comfortable'.
'Lazy', 'perfect' and 'lethal' do not share the meaning of snug, so they break the synonym relationship the analogy sets up.
A snug room or a snug jacket is one that feels warm, cosy and well fitted, which is the sense the analogy expects.

Who was given the title of 'Farzand' (son) by Akbar?
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Akbar gave the title of 'Farzand' to Man Singh.
Man Singh I of Amber was one of Akbar's most trusted commanders and a leading noble of his court. Akbar called him farzand, son, a mark of special favour, and gave him the high mansab of 7000.
Bhagwan Das was Man Singh's father. Jahangir was Akbar's actual son, so the honorific would make no sense for him, and Maharana Pratap fought the Mughals rather than serving at Akbar's court.

Protection against arrest and detention in certain cases is guaranteed by
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: Article 22
Article 22 provides safeguards on arrest and detention. Its first part applies to ordinary arrests: the person must be informed of the grounds, has the right to consult and be defended by a lawyer of choice, and must be produced before a magistrate within 24 hours, excluding travel time, and cannot be detained longer without the magistrate’s authority. Its second part deals with preventive detention, and is far weaker - the safeguards above expressly do not apply. A person may be detained for up to three months without an advisory board’s opinion; beyond that a board of High Court judges must find sufficient cause. The grounds must be communicated to the detainee, except those the authority considers against the public interest to disclose. India is unusual in providing for preventive detention in peacetime in the Constitution itself. Article 20 gives protection in respect of conviction - against retrospective law, double jeopardy and self-incrimination - and, with Article 21, cannot be suspended even during an emergency.

The scheme is for Scheduled Tribe residents.
The Tantya Mama Economic Welfare Scheme, named after the tribal hero Tantya Bhil, was launched by the Madhya Pradesh government to help Scheduled Tribe youth set up small businesses with low-cost equipment and working capital.
Scheduled Caste entrepreneurs are covered by separate schemes, so the options naming them alone or together with Scheduled Tribes do not describe this scheme.
