Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the correct/most appropriate options.
Man who is believed to have evolved from apes, is a curious mixture of varied motives. He is not only the subject of needs but is also their creator. He not only seeks to satisfy his needs but also caters to his desire for beauty and grace. He is eager to satisfy his passion for more and more knowledge. Although in a general way, the maxim 'necessity is the mother of invention' is true, it is by no means the whole truth. Man is something much greater than an intelligent being using his intellect to make newer inventions from time to time. He has within him a spirit which is ever exhorting him to cut down his needs and learn to be happy with what he has. The real purpose underlying this maxim lies in its utility in the worldly sense. It tells us to be up and doing, not to be passive in our attitude to life. It asks us not to remain slaves of old habits and ways of life. We must face the new situations with a creative mind. Every new difficulty, every new problem, which confronts us in life, can be tackled successfully with the spirit of inventiveness.

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 1 ] :
The area of region bounded by the straight lines \(|x| + |y| = 1\) is :
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The area is 2 square units.
The graph of \(|x| + |y| = 1\) is a square with its corners on the axes at (1, 0), (0, 1), (-1, 0) and (0, -1), a square standing on one corner. Its diagonals both have length 2, and the area of a rhombus or square is half the product of its diagonals:
\[ \text{Area} = \tfrac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 2 = 2 \]
Equivalently, it is made of four right triangles of legs 1 and 1, each of area 1/2. An answer of 4 comes from taking the square from -1 to 1 on both axes, whose corners lie outside the region, and 1 counts only half of it.

What does the maxim mentioned in the passage teach us?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The key gives To be active in life and do something to help mankind.
The passage says the real purpose of the maxim is to tell us 'to be up and doing, not to be passive in our attitude to life' and to face new situations with a creative mind. Option D is the only one about being active. The words 'to help mankind' are not in the passage, so D is the best fit and not an exact restatement.
The passage says we should not remain 'slaves of old habits', so option B, being slaves of our needs and wants, is the opposite of its advice. Creating new desires (C) is what the inner spirit warns against, and 'worldly in the strict sense' (A) is not what the passage recommends.
Direction for [ Question No: 3 To 3 ] :
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.
He said, "Why didn't you send your application to me ?"
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: He enquired why I had not sent my application to him.
A wh- question needs no if; the question word does that work. The auxiliary disappears with the statement order, and didn't send moves back to had not sent. You becomes I and me becomes him.
Direction for [ Question No: 4 To 4 ] :
In the following questions four alternatives are given for the idiom/phrase italicised and underlined in the sentence. Choose the alternative which best expresses the meaning of idiom/phrase.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
It means unduly under control.
To be under someone's thumb is to be wholly dominated by them.
He is __________ European.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The article is a: He is a European.
European begins with a vowel letter but with the consonant sound /j/ ("yoo-"), so it takes a, just as we say a university, a uniform and a one-rupee coin.
An is the trap: it goes before vowel sounds, not vowel letters. The is not used to say what nationality a person is, and the sentence needs an article, so "None of these" is wrong.
The rule to carry forward: listen to the word. An goes before a vowel sound (an egg, an MLA), a before a consonant sound, whatever the spelling.
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank. _______! I hit my foot on a stone there.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The correct word is 'Ouch'. It is the interjection used for a sudden pain, and the speaker hit a foot on a stone, which is a painful knock.
'Wow' shows surprise or admiration, 'Whoa' is used to ask someone or something to stop or slow down, and 'Alas' expresses sorrow or regret in a more formal or literary way, not a sharp physical pain. Of the four, only 'Ouch' expresses pain from a hurt foot, so the third option is correct.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
It is pare.
To pare is to trim or peel. A pair is two, and a pear is the fruit; all three are pronounced identically.

".8bi" is extension of ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: Photoshop Plug-in

What is the term used to described the separation of a clip art object into different parts so that it becomes a PowerPoint object?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: Ungrouping
A clip art picture arrives as one grouped drawing. Ungrouping it (Draw → Ungroup) breaks it into the individual shapes it was built from, and those become ordinary PowerPoint objects whose colours and positions can be changed one by one. Grouping and regrouping put the pieces back together.
You can use drag-and-drop to embed excel worksheet data in a word document
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: By dragging a range of excel data to the word button on the taskbar while pressing the Ctrl key
Dragging alone would move the data; holding Ctrl makes it a copy, and dropping onto the Word button on the taskbar brings that window to the front so the data can be released into the document.
Which of following is/are the advantage(s) of modular programming?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: The program is much easier to change
The chief gain of modular programming is that a change is confined: because each module has one responsibility and a defined interface, altering its internals leaves the rest of the program untouched, and a fault can be traced to a single module. Reuse, easier debugging and separate compilation follow from that same separation.
Operating system is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: A collection of software routines
An operating system is software: a body of routines that manage the processor, memory, files and devices, and present them to programs through system calls. It runs on the hardware and controls the input and output devices, but is neither of them.
In which addressing mode the contents of a register specified in the instruction are first decremented, and then these contents are used as the effective address of the operands?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: auto decrement
In auto-decrement addressing the register named in the instruction is first stepped back and only then used as the effective address. The order matters: decrement-then-use is what makes it the natural complement of auto-increment for pushing onto a stack that grows downwards.

Electric current is measured with an ammeter, connected in series with the circuit so the whole current passes through it.
