Direction for [ Question No: 12 To 12 ] :
Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :
I have told you already about the formation of tribes. When agriculture came, and there was some division of work or labour, it became necessary for some person in the tribe to organise the work. Even before this, the tribes wanted someone to lead them to battle against another tribe. The leader was usually the oldest man in the group. He was called, or rather we call him now, the patriarch. As the oldest, he was supposed to be the most experienced and to have the most knowledge. This patriarch was not very different from the other members of the tribe. He worked with the others, and all the food that was produced was divided between all the members of the tribe. Everything belonged to the tribe. It was not like we have now, each person having his separate house and money and many other things. Whatever a man earned was divided up as it all belonged to the tribe. The patriarch or the organiser of the tribe did this dividing.
But changes came in slowly. There were new kinds of work, especially on account of agriculture, and the patriarch had to spend most of his time in organising and seeing that work was properly done by all the members of the tribe. Little by little, the patriarch gave up doing the ordinary work or labour of the people. He thus became quite different from the rest of the people. We see now another kind of division of work or labour : the patriarch doing the organizing and ordering people about, and the other people working in the fields and hunting and going to battle, and obeying the orders of their leader, the patriarch. If there was a war or fight between two tribes, the patriarch became even more powerful, for in wartime it was not possible to fight well without a leader. So the patriarch became very powerful.
State which of the following is True/False.
(A) With new kinds of work coming up, the patriarch functioned like an organiser.
(B) The patriarch led his tribe to battle.

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 5 ] :
If 30% of \(A\) = 50% of \(B\) and \(B = x\%\) of \(A\) then find the value of \(x\)?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
From the first condition, 30 per cent of A equals 50 per cent of B.
\[ 0.3A = 0.5B \Rightarrow B = \frac{0.3}{0.5}A = 0.6A \]
So B is 60 per cent of A, and since \(B = x\%\) of A, \(x = 60\). The value 160 is what you get if you express A as a percentage of B in the wrong direction (A = 1.67B would be about 167 per cent), and 80 and 90 do not follow from the equation. The answer is 60, option A.
A man buys Rs. 20 shares paying 9% dividend. The man wants to have an interest of 12% on his money. The market value of each share is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The dividend is 9% of the Rs. 20 face value:
\[ 0.09 \times 20 = \text{Rs. } 1.80 \text{ per share} \]
For that to be 12% of the price paid:
\[ \text{market value} = \frac{1.80}{0.12} = \text{Rs. } 15 \]
To earn a higher yield than the dividend rate, the share must be bought below par - which is why the answer is under Rs. 20.
If the radius of sphere is increased by 9.09 %, then surface area of sphere is increased by how much percentage.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
An increase of \( 9.09\% \) is a factor of \( \tfrac{1}{11} \), since \( \tfrac{1}{11} = 0.0909 \). The radius therefore becomes \( \tfrac{12}{11}r \).
Surface area varies as the square of the radius:
\[ \frac{S'}{S} = \left(\frac{12}{11}\right)^{2} = \frac{144}{121} = 1.1901 \]
\[ \text{increase} = 19.01\% \approx 19\% \]
Recognising 9.09% as \( \tfrac{1}{11} \) keeps the arithmetic exact; the decimal route gives 18.998% and invites a rounding error.
A square farm of side 240 meters has a small rectangular area for barn construction. This barn area has its length 10 meters more than its breadth and its area measures one-eighth the square farm. How much the owner has to spend to build a wall around the barn area at rate of Rs. 1.5 per meter?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Find the barn's area, then its dimensions, then its perimeter.
\[ A_{\text{farm}} = 240^{2} = 57{,}600 \text{ m}^{2} \]
\[ A_{\text{barn}} = \frac{57{,}600}{8} = 7200 \text{ m}^{2} \]
With breadth \( b \) and length \( b + 10 \):
\[ b(b + 10) = 7200 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad b^{2} + 10b - 7200 = 0 \]
\[ b = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100 + 28800}}{2} = \frac{-10 + 170}{2} = 80 \text{ m} \]
So the barn is 80 m by 90 m.
\[ \text{perimeter} = 2(80 + 90) = 340 \text{ m} \]
\[ \text{cost} = 340 \times 1.5 = \text{Rs. } 510 \]
The wall is priced by length, so the area of 7200 m² is only an intermediate step - pricing it by area would give Rs. 10,800.
Rohit has to reach Mumbai which is 500 km away in 10 hours. His starting speed for 3 hours was 60 km/hr. For the next 200 km his speed was 50km/hr. By what speed he must travel now so as to reach Mumbai in decided time of 10 hours?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Account for the distance and time already used, then divide what is left.
\[ \text{first stage} = 60 \times 3 = 180 \text{ km in } 3 \text{ h} \]
\[ \text{second stage} = 200 \text{ km at } 50 \text{ km/hr} = 4 \text{ h} \]
\[ \text{covered} = 380 \text{ km in } 7 \text{ h} \]
\[ \text{remaining} = 120 \text{ km in } 3 \text{ h} \quad\Longrightarrow\quad 40 \text{ km/hr} \]
Both the distance and the time budgets have to be tracked together; either one alone would give the wrong final speed.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Students who work hard all the year round to perform well at the Board examination deserve to be evaluated correctly by experts, and not mechanically or by inexperienced people. Besides, examiners who shirk their duty of evaluating answer papers, ought to be punished. So, both I and II follow, while III does not.

Sushma and Vimla are friends.
Ved's girl friend does not like Sushma and Vimla.
Kusum does not care for Ved.
Prem's girl friend is friendly with Sushma. Sushma does not like Raj.
With whom is Sushma friendly ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Sushma and Vimla are friends and Prem's girl friend is friendly with Sushma. This means that Prem's girl friend is Vimla.
Ved's girl friend does not like Sushma and Vimal. So, she is either Kusum or Poonam. But Kusum does not care for Ved. So, Ved's girl friend is Poonam.
Sushma does not like Raj. So, Raj's girl friend is Kusum.
Clearly, Ashok's girl friend is Sushma.
Sushma is friendly with Ashok.

Conscience : Wrong : : Police : ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Crime
The relation is restraining agency : what it restrains. Conscience checks wrongdoing from within; the police check crime from without. A thief is the person, and law and discipline are the instruments rather than the thing restrained.
The series below can be extended once the rule behind it is found. Identify the pattern, then choose the number that belongs at the question mark.
4, 16, 64, 256, ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: 1024
The gaps are 12, 48, 192, which follow no constant pattern, so the rule lies in the terms rather than in the steps between them. Each term is four raised to the power of its position: position 1 gives 4 and position 4 gives 256. The next position is 5, which gives 1024. As a check, the same rule applied to the earlier positions reproduces 4, 16, 64, 256 exactly, so it accounts for every term shown and not merely the last. Powers of three grow faster than powers of two and are recognised by the same method of trial.

Statements:
1. The first serial was screened on 23rd, Tuesday and was followed by serial D.
2. Serial A was not screened on 25th and one serial was screened between serials A and B.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
From 1, we know that the serials were screened on 23rd, 24th, 25th and 26th.
Clearly, D was screened second i.e. on 24th, Wednesday.
From 2, we know that one serial was screened between A and B.
So, A and B were screened first and third, i.e. on 23rd and 25th. But, A was not screened on 25th.
So, A was screened on 23rd and B on 25th. Thus, C was screened on 26th, Friday.
What is always in worry ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Unrest
The question asks what is always present, not what usually is. To worry is to be mentally disturbed, so unrest of mind is worry itself. One may worry over nothing difficult at all; non-cooperation and poignancy are unrelated.

State which of the following is True/False.

Both (A) and (B) are True.
Statement (A): the passage says the patriarch spent most of his time 'organising and seeing that work was properly done', and was 'the patriarch or the organiser of the tribe'. Statement (B): the tribes 'wanted someone to lead them to battle', that leader was the patriarch, and people went 'to battle ... obeying the orders of their leader, the patriarch'.
Any option that calls either statement false is therefore wrong.
