Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Although religion does not inhibit the acquisition of wealth, although it does not hold up large fortunes as evil, the tenor of its teaching, by and large, is to induce an attitude of indifference to worldly things, things which gratify one's lower self and keep one engrossed in money-making. The student should be made to realise that the real goods of life are spiritual, love of things of the spirit and service of one's fellowmen, joy of an ordered disciplined life. These are blessings money cannot buy. What is wealth before such things of the spirit? Of all religious teachers, Jesus Christ has dealt more comprehensively than any other with the problem of wealth in all its aspects. He may be called the greatest exponent of the science of wealth. With only four words “Blessed are ye poor!” he changed altogether the values which man attached to human existence and human happiness and acquisition and possession of wealth. Real bliss consisted, he taught, not in riches nor in anything else which the world regarded as prosperity or felicity, but in the joy and happiness derived from being at peace with one's fellowmen through perfect love and fellowship and selfless service and sacrifice.
The word “poor” on the lips of the Master had a spiritual significance – the poor so far as they were poor in spirit, humble before God, simple, God-fearing, teachable, faithful, it could surely not have been his intention to hold up destitution and privation as a blessing in itself, that would have turned life into a terrible ordeal and it would have been heartless to exhort the poor to believe that money was not necessary for one's sustenance or the joys and blessings of life. Even things of the spirit cannot be had without money. Extreme poverty is as liable to lead to the stagnation and impoverishment of the soul as excessive wealth. Not outward poverty but inward spirit was what Jesus Christ desired and demanded. Every religion asks a man to regard his wealth as a trust. Giving in charity for the relief of the poor and public welfare is not merely an act of compassion, not merely a religious duty, but also an act of social justice. All the gospels of wealth are based on the fundamental concept that none can claim an absolute or inherent right to property. Everyone holds it in trust from God to promote the good of mankind. All rights to private property are subject to this primary obligation to God and man.
Which of the following statements explains the idea contained in the following line?
"Every religion asks a man to regard his wealth as a trust."

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 5 ] :
The unit digit of \((3547)^{153} \times (251)^{72}\) is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
We need the unit digit of \(7^{153} \times 1^{72}\). The unit digit of \(1^{72}\) is 1. For \(7^{153}\), the cycle is (7,9,3,1), length 4. We find the remainder of \(153 \div 4\), which is 1. So the unit digit is the 1st in the cycle, which is 7. The unit digit of the product is the unit digit of \(7 \times 1 = 7\).
The number 42573* must be divisible by 72. What is the value of *?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
For a number to be divisible by 72, it must be divisible by 8 and 9.
1. Divisibility by 8: The number formed by the last three digits, 73*, must be divisible by 8. Let's test values for *. 730 is not. 731 is not. 732 is not. 733 is not. 734 is not. 735 is not. 736 is. \(736 \div 8 = 92\). So, the missing digit * must be 6.
2. Divisibility by 9: Let's confirm with this value. The number is 425736. The sum of digits is \(4+2+5+7+3+6 = 27\). Since 27 is divisible by 9, the number is divisible by 9. Since it satisfies both conditions, the value of * is 6.
What is the result of \(25 \times 2.5 \times 0.25 \times 0.025\)?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
We are multiplying powers of 25 with different decimal places.
The expression can be written as \(25^1 \times (25 \times 10^{-1}) \times (25 \times 10^{-2}) \times (25 \times 10^{-3})\).
This is equal to \(25^4 \times 10^{-1-2-3} = 25^4 \times 10^{-6}\).
\(25^2 = 625\).
\(25^4 = (25^2)^2 = 625^2 = 390625\).
So, the result is \(390625 \times 10^{-6} = 0.390625\).
What is the probability that a number selected from the numbers (1, 2, 3,..........,15) is a multiple of 4?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The multiples of 4 between 1 and 15 are 4, 8 and 12 - three of them.
\[ P = \frac{3}{15} = \frac{1}{5} \]
16 is the next multiple but lies outside the range, which is what keeps the count at three.
The fourth proportional to \(5, 8, 15\) is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Let the fourth proportional to \(5, 8 , 15\) be \(x.\)
Then, \(5 : 8 : 15 : x\)
\(\Rightarrow 5x = (8 \times 15)\)
\(x = \frac{(8 \times 15)}{5} = 24.\)

Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: Wood
The relation is craftsman : the material he works. A cobbler works leather; a carpenter works wood. Furniture and a chair are what he produces, and a hammer is a tool.
A, B, C, D, E and F are cousins. No two cousins are of the same age but all have birthdays on the same date. The youngest is 17 years old and the oldest E is 22. F is somewhere between B and D in age. A is older than B. C is older than D. Which of the following is not possible?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
All six cousins have different ages, the youngest is 17 and the oldest, E, is 22, so A, B, C, D and F take the ages 17 to 21. F lies between B and D in age.
If F were 20, then one of B and D would be 21 and the other younger. B cannot be 21 because A is older than B and nobody except E (22) is older, and D cannot be 21 because C is older than D. So F is 20 is not possible, option D. The other cases (D = 20, F = 18, F = 19) can be fitted.
P, Q, and R talk about S’s car collection. P states that S has at least 3 cars. Q believes that S has less than 3 cars. R indicates that to his knowledge, S has at least one car. Only one of P, Q and R is right. The number of cars owned by S is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
S owns 0 cars.
Test each possibility against "only one of P, Q and R is right".
- 0 cars: P (at least 3) is wrong, Q (less than 3) is right, R (at least one) is wrong. Exactly one is right.
- 1 or 2 cars: Q and R are both right, which is two.
- 3 or more: P and R are both right, again two.
Only 0 satisfies the condition, so the number is determined, ruling out "cannot be determined"; 1 and 3 each make two people right.

Which of the following statements explains the idea contained in the following line?
"Every religion asks a man to regard his wealth as a trust."
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The line says every religion asks a man to regard his wealth as a trust, and the passage explains this a few sentences later: all the gospels of wealth rest on the idea that no one has an absolute right to property, and everyone holds it in trust from God to promote the good of mankind. The first option restates that idea.
Giving in charity is described as an act of social justice, but that is a consequence of the trust idea, not an explanation of it. Religious institutes holding rights to private property is not said anywhere. The passage does not tell people to give away excessive wealth either; it says rights to property are subject to the obligation to God and man. The first option is the answer.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Nobody will want to play in his team if he does not treat people kindly.
Cause and effect are the right way round: unkind treatment is the condition, unwillingness to play the consequence. The if clause is in the present, the main clause in the future.
Why the others fail:
- nobody will play to want his team - the infinitive and its verb have swapped places.
- Nobody will treat people kindly if he does not want to play… - the condition and consequence are reversed.
- The last option scrambles the verbs so that kindly attaches to playing rather than to treating.
