Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 5 ] :
The bar chart gives the batting averages of VK and RS for 11 calendar years from 2012 to 2022. Considering that 2015 and 2019 are world cup years, which one of the following options is true?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The true statement is that VK's yearly batting average is consistently higher than that of RS between the two world cup years.
Between 2015 and 2019 lie 2016, 2017 and 2018. In each, VK's bar is taller: about 92 against 62, 77 against 72, and 133 against 74.
The others fail on the chart. In 2015 RS (about 51) is above VK (about 36), so VK is not higher in every world cup year; in 2019 VK (about 60) is just above RS (about 57), so RS is not higher in every world cup year either. In the last three years RS is higher in 2020 and 2022 but VK is higher in 2021 (about 43 against 30), so RS is not consistently higher.
What should be subtracted from the sum of 9909, 9099 and 9009 to obtain 25454 ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The number to subtract is 2563.
\[ \begin{aligned} 9909 + 9099 + 9009 &= 28017 \\ 28017 - 25454 &= 2563 \end{aligned} \]
Check: 25454 + 2563 = 28017. The other options rearrange the same digits (2356, 2365, 2536) and fail this check.
The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 144. What is the smallest of these numbers?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Let the three consecutive even numbers be \(x, x+2, x+4\).
Their sum is \(x + (x+2) + (x+4) = 144\).
\(3x + 6 = 144\).
\(3x = 138\).
\(x = 46\).
The numbers are 46, 48, and 50. The smallest number is 46.
The arithmetic mean of 10 items is 50. If each item is increased by 5, then the new mean will be:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Adding a constant to every item shifts the mean by that constant.
\[ 50 + 5 = 55 \]
The number of items is irrelevant; the spread is unchanged too.
In a 100 m race, A beats B by 10 m and C by 13 m. In a race of 180 m, B will beat C by:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
In these problems the two runners are compared by the distances they cover in the same time, so their speeds are in the ratio of those distances.
\[ A\,100 : B\,90, \qquad A\,100 : C\,87 \]
Both are measured against the same A distance, so
\[ B : C = 90 : 87 \]
In a 180 m race, when B finishes:
\[ C = 180 \times \frac{87}{90} = 174 \text{ m} \]
\[ \text{B beats C by } 180 - 174 = 6 \text{ m} \]

Study the following information carefully to answer these questions.
P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre. P sits third to the right of W and third to the left of Q. S sits second to the right of T. V sits second to the left of R. T is not the neighbour of Q while U is neither a neighbour of T nor of W.
Who sits between U and P?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: S
Facing the centre, each person’s left is the next seat clockwise and their right the next seat anticlockwise. Fix P; W is three to P’s left and Q three to P’s right. Trying each seat for T with S two to T’s right, only one choice keeps T away from Q, and of the two ways of then placing R and V, only one keeps U away from both T and W. Clockwise the table reads P → T → R → W → V → Q → U → S.
U and P have exactly one seat between them, and S occupies it.

Give answer

Statement: "If you trouble me, I will slap you." - A mother warns her child.
Assumptions:
1. With the warning, the child may stop troubling her.
2. All children are basically naughty.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Only assumption I is implicit
A warning is given in the expectation that it will work, so the mother assumes the child may stop - assumption I. Assumption II generalises about all children, which the remark to one child does not require. Only I is implicit.
Direction for [ Question No: 8 To 8 ] :
In each of the following questions, a number series is given with one term missing. Choose the correct alternative that will continue the same pattern.
2, 3, 5,7,11,?, 17
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: 13
The terms are the prime numbers in order - 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 - and the one that follows 11 is 13, with 17 coming after it as the series shows.
Choose the number pair which is different from others.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The odd pair is 5 : 115.
In each pair the second number is \(n^3 - n\), where \(n\) is the first number:
\[ \begin{aligned} 4^3 - 4 &= 64 - 4 = 60 \\ 6^3 - 6 &= 216 - 6 = 210 \\ 7^3 - 7 &= 343 - 7 = 336 \\ 5^3 - 5 &= 125 - 5 = 120 \end{aligned} \]
The pattern needs 5 : 120, so 5 : 115 is the pair that breaks it.
For the picture shown above, which one of the following is the correct picture representing reflection with respect to the mirror shown as the dotted line?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The correct reflection is the one in option (A).
A vertical mirror reverses left and right but keeps up and down. In the original, the octagon is at the upper left and the hexagon at the lower right, next to the mirror. Its image therefore has the hexagon at the lower left, next to the mirror, and the octagon at the upper right.
The shading must flip too. The original octagon is shaded on its upper left and left sectors and on the sector pointing down to the hexagon; in the image these become upper right, right, and the sector pointing down-left to the hexagon. The hexagon's shaded sectors move from its upper right to its upper left. Option (A) shows exactly this.
Option (B) shades the octagon's left side instead of the sector toward the hexagon. Option (C) shades the wrong octagon sectors and the wrong side of the hexagon. Option (D) keeps the octagon on the left, which is not a reflection in a vertical line at all.
Mac has £ 3 more than Ken, but then Ken wins on the horses and trebles his money, so that he now has £ 2 more than the original amount of money that the two boys had between them. How much money did Mac and Ken have between them before Ken's win ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Let money with Ken = x. Then, money with Mac = x + £ 3.
Now, 3x = (x + x + £ 3) + £ 2
\(\Rightarrow x = £ 5.\)
Therefore Total money with Mac and Ken = 2x + £ 3 = £ 13

The error is in expressed doubt if.

Direction for [ Question No: 13 To 13 ] :
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.
Ravi said to the judge, “I did not commit this crime.”
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: Ravi said to the judge that he had not committed that crime
The past simple did not commit moves back to the past perfect had not committed, and this crime becomes that crime. Did not committed is not a verb form, and keeping this leaves a pointing word that no longer points.
Direction for [ Question No: 14 To 15 ] :
In questions given below out of four alternatives, choose the one which can be substituted for the given word/sentence.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
It is ephemeral.
Ephemeral means lasting a very short time, from the Greek for lasting a day. Interim means for the meantime and a diadem is a crown.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
It is fastidious.
Fastidious means hard to please and exacting in taste. Cosmopolitan means worldly, and the other two options are unrelated.
Direction for [ Question No: 16 To 16 ] :
In each of the following questions, choose the word opposite in meaning to the given word.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The opposite is truthful.
Mendacious means given to lying, from the Latin mendax. Efficacious, which resembles it, means producing the intended effect.
Direction : Identify appropriate connective.
__________ Ragu is rich, he is miser.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The appropriate connective is although.
The two clauses contrast: being rich would lead us to expect generosity, but he is a miser. 'Although' introduces a clause of concession, a fact that contrasts with the main clause: 'Although Ragu is rich, he is a miser.' (The paper prints 'he is miser'.)
'Where' introduces a place, 'as long as' a condition, and 'until' a time limit. None of them expresses the contrast between wealth and miserliness.
In the following question, a part of the sentence has been underlined. Replace the underlined part with the most appropriate choice from the four options provided below. In case no improvement is required, choose the option marked ‘no improvement needed’.
Sudama was true with his friend Krishna
Your Answer : (Not Answered)

Your Answer : (Not Answered)

It is plaice.
A plaice is a flatfish. A place is a location, and the two sound the same.
