Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 3 ] :
If the marked price of a fan listed at₹2,220 is sold at a discount of 20%, then the selling price of the fan is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
A 20 per cent discount leaves 80 per cent of the marked price, so the selling price is 0.8 x 2220 = Rs 1,776. Rs 1,976, Rs 1,876 and Rs 1,676 correspond to discounts of about 11, 15.5 and 24.5 per cent. The discount is 20 per cent of Rs 2,220, which is Rs 444, and 2220 minus 444 is 1776. The same result comes from multiplying by 4/5, since 2220 divided by 5 is 444 and 444 times 4 is 1776.
In triangle ABC, the bisectors of angle B and angle C meet at point O. If angle A = 70°, what is the measure of angle BOC?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
In triangle ABC, Angle A + Angle B + Angle C = 180°. So, B + C = 180° - 70° = 110°.
The bisectors of B and C meet at O. In triangle BOC, the angles are Angle BOC, Angle OBC (which is B/2), and Angle OCB (which is C/2).
Angle BOC + B/2 + C/2 = 180°
Angle BOC + (B+C)/2 = 180°
Angle BOC + 110°/2 = 180°
Angle BOC + 55° = 180°
Angle BOC = 125°.
A standard formula for this is Angle BOC = 90° + (Angle A)/2 = 90 + 70/2 = 90 + 35 = 125°.
A boat takes 90 minutes less to travel 36 miles downstream than to travel the same distance upstream. If the speed of the boat in still water is 10 mph, the speed of the stream is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Write \( b \) for the boat's speed in still water and \( r \) for the stream's. Then
\[ \text{downstream} = b + r, \qquad \text{upstream} = b - r \]
\[ 90 \text{ min} = 1.5 \text{ h} \]
\[ \frac{36}{10 - r} - \frac{36}{10 + r} = 1.5 \]
\[ \frac{36(10 + r) - 36(10 - r)}{100 - r^{2}} = \frac{72r}{100 - r^{2}} = 1.5 \]
\[ 72r = 150 - 1.5r^{2} \quad\Longrightarrow\quad r^{2} + 48r - 100 = 0 \]
\[ r = \frac{-48 + \sqrt{2304 + 400}}{2} = \frac{-48 + 52}{2} = 2 \text{ mph} \]
The negative root is discarded as a speed. Checking: 36 miles at 8 mph takes 4.5 hours and at 12 mph takes 3 - exactly 90 minutes apart.

The true justified belief is often called
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
True justified belief is often called Knowledge.
The classical definition of knowledge, going back to Plato's Theaetetus, is justified true belief: a person knows something if they believe it, it is true, and they have good reason for believing it. Edmund Gettier's examples of 1963 later questioned whether these three conditions are enough.
A hypothesis is a proposed explanation still to be tested, so it need not be true or justified. Intelligence is a mental capacity, not a kind of belief.
Select the option that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series. F, AA, BA, CF, EF, ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The next term is HA.
The first letters of the terms after the first form the Fibonacci numbers 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8, which are the letters A, B, C, E and H. The second letters follow a pair-wise pattern: A, A, then F, F, then A, A. So the sixth term has first letter H and second letter A.
IA, EB and DB break either the Fibonacci pattern of the first letters or the pairing of the second letters.
Another way to see it is to look at the pairs of letters one by one: AA, BA, CF, EF, then HA. The first letters A, B, C, E, H are the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 8th letters, the Fibonacci numbers, so the next is H. The second letters repeat in pairs, so after two Fs come two As, and the next second letter is A.
The numbers below advance according to a pattern you are asked to identify. Identify the pattern, then choose the number that belongs at the question mark.
3, 5, 9, 17, 33, ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: 65
The gaps are 2, 4, 8, 16, which follow no constant pattern, so the rule lies in the terms rather than in the steps between them. Each term is one more than a power of two: position 1 gives 3 and position 5 gives 33. The next position is 6, which gives 65. As a check, the same rule applied to the earlier positions reproduces 3, 5, 9, 17, 33 exactly, so it accounts for every term shown and not merely the last. Adding or subtracting one from a power of two leaves the doubling almost visible, which is how the family is spotted.

The <map> tag defines clickable regions in an image.
The map element holds area elements, each giving a shape and coordinates and a link. Linked to an img through its usemap attribute, it creates an image map in which different parts of the picture lead to different pages.
It does not draw paths, highlight areas, or describe the site map of a website, which is a separate page or XML file.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: 1024 megabytes
Each step in the binary sequence multiplies by 1024: 1024 bytes make a kilobyte, 1024 kilobytes a megabyte, and 1024 megabytes a gigabyte.
Where would you load the mouse driver mouse.sys?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: config.sys
A driver ending in .SYS is loaded by a DEVICE= line in CONFIG.SYS, which DOS reads early in the boot before the command interpreter starts. The .COM form of the same driver would instead be run from AUTOEXEC.BAT.

Of the elements offered, silicon is present in the largest amount in rocks and minerals, making up about 28 per cent of the crust by mass.
Only oxygen exceeds it, at about 46 per cent. The two combine as silicate, which is the basis of nearly all rock-forming minerals.

The textile industry is the largest.
It is the second largest employer in India after agriculture, supporting some 45 million workers directly, and covers everything from handloom and powerloom to mills and garment manufacture. It also accounts for a large share of manufacturing exports.
What is the predominant type of Indian agriculture?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Indian agriculture is predominantly subsistence agriculture.
Most holdings are small - the average is little over a hectare - and much of the produce is consumed by the farming household rather than sold. Commercial and plantation agriculture exist but occupy a small share of the cropped area.
