The first step is for us to realise that a city need not to be frustrater of life,it can be among other things,A mechanism for enhancing life, for producing possibilities of living which are not to be realized except through cities. But for that to happen deliberate and drastic planning is needed. Towns as much as animals must have their system for organs-those for transport and circulation are an obvious example. What we need now are organ system for recreation, leisure, culture, community expression. This means abundance of open space, easy access to unspoilt nature, beauty in parks and in fine buildings, gymnasia and swimming baths and recreation grounds in plenty, central spaces for celebrations and demonstrations, halls for citizens’ meetings, concert halls and theatres and cinemas that belong to the city. And the buildings must not be built anyhow or dumped down anywhere. both they and their grouping should mean something important to the people of the place.
Cities can be made to provide full facilities for life, only if:

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 2 ] :
The total number of prime numbers between 1 and 50 is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.
The prime numbers between 1 and 50 are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47.
Counting these numbers, we find there are 15 prime numbers.
In what ratio must a grocer mix two varieties of tea worth Rs. 60 a kg and Rs. 65 a kg so that by selling the mixture at Rs. 68.20 a kg he may gain 10%?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Convert the selling price to a cost price first.
\[ \text{CP} = \frac{68.20}{1.10} = \text{Rs. } 62 \text{ per kg} \]
\[ \frac{\text{Rs. 60 tea}}{\text{Rs. 65 tea}} = \frac{65 - 62}{62 - 60} = \frac{3}{2} \]
Using 68.20 directly as the mean would put it outside the range 60–65 and give a negative ratio - the signal that the gain must be removed first.

Six girls are sitting in a circle facing to the centre of the circle. They are P, Q, R, S, T and V. T is not between Q and S but some other one. P is next to the left of V. R is 4th to the right of P.
What is the position of T ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: To the immediate right of V
Facing the centre, each girl’s right is the next seat anticlockwise and her left the next seat clockwise. P next to V’s left puts P one seat clockwise of V; R fourth to P’s right puts R two seats clockwise of P. Filling in the rest gives the circle, clockwise, as V → P → S → R → Q → T, with T next to V and so not between Q and S.
The seat anticlockwise from V - her right - is T’s, so T sits immediately to V’s right. She is not next to Q’s right, nor between Q and R.

Statement: "To keep myself up-to-date, I always listen to 9.00 p.m. news on radio."- A candidate tells the interview board.
Assumptions:
1. The candidate does not read newspaper.
2. Recent news is broadcast only on radio
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Neither I nor II is implicit
The candidate says only what he does. Assumption I turns that into a claim that he reads no newspaper, and assumption II into a claim that radio is the only source of news - neither of which his statement requires. Neither is implicit.
Select the letter-cluster from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
HXK, MUC, ?, WOP, BLK
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The missing cluster is RRV. Write each letter as its place in the alphabet and look at each position of the clusters separately. First letters: H(8), M(13), ?, W(23), B(2, that is 28 after wrapping): each step adds 5, so the third is R(18). Second letters: X(24), U(21), ?, O(15), L(12): each step subtracts 3, so the third is R(18). Third letters: K(11), C(3), ?, P(16), K(11): the steps are −8, −7, −6, −5, so the third is 3 − 7 = −4, which is 22 after wrapping, V. The cluster is RRV. RRU, RSV and SRV each break at least one of these three patterns.
In the following question, correct the equation by interchanging two signs.
6 + 8 ÷ 4 - 4 = 8
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: + and -
Exchanging + and − gives \( 6 - 8 \div 4 + 4 \), which works out as \[ 6 - 2 + 4 = \mathbf{8} \]

P: a strong stance

R: against slavery.
S: inclinations and took
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: QSPR
The sentence reads:
She soon developed political inclinations and took a strong stance against slavery.
Q and S must stay together because political in Q modifies inclinations in S. S then carries and took, P supplies its object, and R completes stance against.

Cities can be made to provide full facilities for life, only if:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: These are thoughtfully and vigorously designed to serve people's need.
The passage says a city can enhance life but for that to happen deliberate and drastic planning is needed, and then lists what such planning must provide. Planning is therefore the condition on which everything else depends. Transport and cinemas are items on that list, not the condition itself, and mechanically developed is the opposite of the deliberate design the passage calls for.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The energy of an atomic explosion comes from the conversion of mass into energy.
The fragments of a fissioned uranium nucleus weigh slightly less than the original, and the missing mass appears as energy according to Einstein's relation:
\[ E = mc^2 \]
Because \( c^2 \) is so large, a gram of mass yields about 9 × 1013 joules.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Sales tax is an indirect tax.
The dealer pays it to the government but recovers it from the buyer in the price, so the burden is shifted - which is what makes a tax indirect. It was levied by the states and has now been subsumed into the state GST.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: photoautotroph
The name states both halves: photo- for light as the energy source, autotroph for CO2 as the carbon source. Plants, algae and cyanobacteria are photoautotrophs. A photoheterotroph uses light but needs organic carbon; a chemoautotroph fixes CO2 using energy from inorganic chemical oxidations.
