Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :
There was a king, Shibi Rana, who enjoyed immense power. Even gods in heaven were jealous of him. They feared that Shibi might one day take away their kingdoms. They devised a plan to test his sense of justice. So they decided to reach Shibi's kingdom in disguise. One day, Shibi Rana was sitting on his throne. His courtroom was surrounded by majestic gardens. There came a scared dove flying to him and it was followed by a fierce looking eagle. The king gave shelter to the dove and saved her. The eagle argued that the king has taken away his food-the dove. It would starve. The king assured the eagle that he would give equal quantity of any other food. The eagle asked for king Shibi's flesh. The magnanimous king agreed with a smile. A balance was brought in the court. It was soon found that with each addition of the king's flesh the dove grew heavier. The equal balance was not arrived at. But the king remained calm and unperturbed.
The gods in the guise of the dove and the eagle were assured of Shibi's righteousness. The forms of the eagle and the dove soon disappeared. In their place stood Indra, the king of the gods and Agni, the god of fire smiling and blessing the king for his benevolence and greatness.

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 4 ] :
The following graph shows the sale of few items of a garment company for three months.
What is the percentage of sale of shirts in January over the total sales in the month of January?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The percentage is 12%.
The January sales (blue bars) are shirt 3, trouser 5, coat 7, T-shirt 4 and jacket 6, which total 25 million units. Shirts are 3 of those.
\[ \frac{3}{25}\times100=12\% \]
20%, 17% and 25% would need a different shirt figure or total.
The graph is a three-dimensional bar chart with three rows of bars: blue for January, orange for March and grey for May. Only the blue bars are needed here. The values 3, 5, 7, 4 and 6 add to 25, and the share of shirts is 3 out of 25, which is 12%.
Find out the wrong number in the given sequence of numbers 25, 36, 49, 81, 121, 169, 225
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The series is the squares of the odd numbers.
\[ 5^{2},\; 7^{2},\; 9^{2},\; 11^{2},\; 13^{2},\; 15^{2} = 25,\; 49,\; 81,\; 121,\; 169,\; 225 \]
\[ 36 = 6^{2}, \text{ the square of an even number} \]
So 36 is the wrong number. Being a perfect square, it fits the looser pattern - which is exactly the trap.
The population of a city increases at the rate of 4% p.a. but there is an additional annual increase of 1% in the population due to some job seekers. The percentage increase in the population after 2 years is?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The two sources of growth act in the same year, so combine them into a single annual rate.
\[ 4\% + 1\% = 5\% \text{ per annum} \]
Population growth compounds, so over two years:
\[ (1.05)^{2} = 1.1025 \]
\[ \text{increase} = 10.25\% \]
Simply doubling the 5% would give 10%; the extra 0.25% is the second year's growth on the first year's addition.
How much pure alcohol must be added to 400 ml of a 15% solution to make its strength 32%?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: 100 ml
The 400 ml contains \( 400 \times 0.15 = 60 \) ml of alcohol and 340 ml of water. The water is unchanged by adding alcohol, so anchor on it. If the alcohol is to be 32%, the water must be 68% of the new total: \[ 340 = 0.68 \times \text{new total} \;\Rightarrow\; \text{new total} = \frac{340}{0.68} = 500 \text{ ml}. \] The alcohol to add is therefore \[ 500 - 400 = 100 \text{ ml}. \] Checking: 500 ml containing \( 60 + 100 = 160 \) ml of alcohol is \( 160/500 = 32\% \). The alternative is alligation between the 15% solution and pure alcohol at 100%, with a mean of 32: \[ \frac{\text{solution}}{\text{alcohol}} = \frac{100 - 32}{32 - 15} = \frac{68}{17} = \frac{4}{1}, \] so for 400 ml of solution, 100 ml of alcohol - the same answer by a shorter route.

(i). Eight persons E, F, G, H, I, J, K and L are seated around a square table -- two on each side.
(ii). There are three lady members and they are not seated next to each other.
(iii). J is between L and F.
(iv). G is between I and F.
(v). H, a lady member, is second to the left of J.
(vi). F, a member is second is seated opposite E, a lady member.
(vii). There is a lady member between F and I.
Who among the following are the three lady members ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
J is between L and F i.e. the order is L J F.
G is between I and F i.e. the order is F G L.
Thus, the sequence becomes L J F G I.
H is second to the left of J i.e. H L J F G L.
E is seated opposite F. Since G is between F and I, so G is a female member.
The three lady members are E, H and G.
Looking at the surface of a smooth 3-dimensional object from the outside, which one of the following options is TRUE?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The true statement is that the surface may be concave in some places and convex in other places.
A smooth closed object such as a peanut shell, a dumbbell or a bean bulges outwards in most places but curves inwards at its waist, so a surface can mix both kinds of curvature. Nothing about being smooth or 3-dimensional forces one kind everywhere.
'Convex everywhere' holds for a sphere or an egg but is not required, so 'must' makes it false. 'Concave everywhere' is impossible for a closed bounded object seen from outside, since its outermost points must bulge outwards. 'Edges, but no corners' contradicts smoothness: a smooth surface has neither edges nor corners.
Every term here follows from the one before it, or from its own position. Establish what governs the terms and give the one that comes next.
3, 6, 11, 22, 27, ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: 54
The steps run 3, 5, 11, 5, which grow and then fall back, so a single operation cannot account for them. Two operations are applied in turn, and continuing the alternation from 27 gives 54. As a check, the step from 27 to the answer is 27, which breaks the run of preceding gaps exactly as an alternating rule demands. Two operations applied in turn produce differences that grow and then fall back, which is the signature of this family.
In a class of 50 students M is eighth from top. H is 20th from bottom. How many students are there between M and H?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: 22
H is 20th from the bottom of 50, so he is \( 50-20+1 = 31 \)st from the top. Between the 8th and the 31st place there are \[ 31 - 8 - 1 = \mathbf{22} \] students.

Which one of the following words is similar in meaning to the word 'magnanimous' as used in the passage?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The word closest in meaning to 'magnanimous' is Generous.
Magnanimous means generous and forgiving, especially towards a rival or someone weaker, and rising above pettiness. A king who calmly offers his own flesh to save a dove is magnanimous.
Selfish and petty are its opposites: selfish means caring only for oneself, and petty means small-minded about trivial things. Suspicious means distrustful, which has nothing to do with generosity.

The error is in remember me.
Remember to do something is the construction for a duty not yet performed: you must remember to post this letter. Remember me to someone means send my regards, which is a different idiom.

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.
I don't know the way. Do you? he asked.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: He said that he didn't know the way and asked me if I did.
The sentence contains a statement and a question, so it needs two reporting verbs: said for the first and asked for the second. Keeping did I know it leaves the second half in direct form, and reporting both with one verb blurs the two acts.

Statements 1 and 3 are correct, so the answer is Only 1 and 3.
The Real Time Market, launched across India in June 2020, is an organised platform where buyers and sellers can trade electricity close to the time of delivery, to balance their requirements as they arise (1). It went live on both power exchanges, the Indian Energy Exchange and Power Exchange India Limited (3).
Statement 2 is wrong. Trading takes place in half-hourly sessions, so there are 48 auctions a day, not 50. Options including statement 2 therefore fail.
