See the number pattern given below :
1, 8, 27, 64, 125, __________ , _________
What will be the next two terms ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The next two terms are 216 and 343.
The pattern is the cubes of the natural numbers:
\[ 1^{3}, 2^{3}, 3^{3}, 4^{3}, 5^{3} = 1, 8, 27, 64, 125 \]
\[ 6^{3} = 216, \quad 7^{3} = 343 \]
256 is \(4^{4}\) or \(16^{2}\) and 289 is \(17^{2}\), so the options containing them do not continue the pattern of cubes.
The number N = 1! + 2! + 3! + ... + 1000!. What is the unit digit of N?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
To find the unit digit of the sum, we observe the unit digits of the individual factorials. \(1!=1\), \(2!=2\), \(3!=6\), \(4!=24\) (unit digit 4). For any factorial \(n!\) where \(n \ge 5\), the unit digit is 0. So all terms from 5! onwards have a unit digit of 0. We only need to sum the unit digits of the first four terms: \(1 + 2 + 6 + 4 = 13\). The unit digit of the sum is 3.
A man rows at 5 km/hr in still water and at 3 km/hr against the current. What is his speed along the current ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: 7 km/hr
The upstream speed is \(b - s\), so
\[5 - s = 3 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad s = 2 \text{ km/hr}\]
\[\text{Downstream speed} = b + s = 5 + 2 = 7 \text{ km/hr}\]
The still-water speed always lies exactly midway between the two.
Ayesha's father was 38 years of age when she was born while her mother was 36 years old when her brother four years younger to her was born. What is the difference between the ages of her parents?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Mother's age when Ayesha's brother was born = 36 years
Father's age when Ayesha's brother was born = \((38 + 4)\) years = 42 years
\(\therefore \) Required difference = \((42 - 36)\)years = 6 years

Statement: "If it does not rain throughout this month, most farmers would be in trouble this year."
Assumptions:
1. Timely rain is essential for farming.
2. Most farmers are generally dependent on rains.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : E
Correct answer: Both I and II are implicit
The warning rests on both: that rain at the right time is necessary for farming, and that most farmers depend on it rather than on irrigation. Both are implicit.

Statement: Should the prestigious people who have committed crime unknowingly, be met with special treatment?
Arguments:
1. Yes. The prestigious people do not commit crime intentionally.
2. No. It is our policy that everybody is equal before the law
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The Constitution of India has laid down the doctrine of 'equality before the law'. So, argument II holds strong. Also, we cannot judge the intentions of a person behind committing a crime, So, argument I is vague
Statement: Should India encourage exports, when most things are insufficient for internal use itself?
Arguments:
- Yes. We have to earn foreign exchange to pay for our imports.
- No. Even selective encouragement would lead to shortages.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Clearly, India can export only the surplus and that which can be saved after fulfilling its own needs, to pay for its imports. Encouragement to export cannot lead to shortages as it shall provide the resources for imports. So, only argument I holds.

(i). A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting on a wall and all of them are facing east.
(ii). C is on the immediate right of D.
(iii). B is at an extreme end and has E as his neighbour.
(iv). G is between E and F.
(v). D is sitting third from the south end.
Immediately between which of the following pairs of people is D sitting?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
C is to the right of D.
D is third from south. So, B will be at the extreme end from north because it should have E as its neighbour. G is between E and F.
So the Sequence is :
B →
E →
G →
F → East
D →
C →
A →
D is sitting between C and F.

In the question below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question.
Question: Which number will be greatest in among five numbers?
Statements:
I. Second number is greater than third and fifth number.
II. First number is greater than second number and less than fourth number.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Both statements together are necessary. Statement I alone gives only that the second number is larger than the third and fifth, which leaves the first and fourth numbers unrelated to it, so it cannot name the greatest. Statement II alone says the first number is greater than the second and less than the fourth, which puts the fourth above the first and second but says nothing about the third and fifth. Taken together, the fourth number is greater than the first, the first is greater than the second, and the second is greater than the third and fifth, so the fourth number is the greatest. Neither statement alone is sufficient.
General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 11 To 20 ] :
Among the following types of soil, which one has the least water-retention capacity?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The soil with the least water-retention capacity is desert soil.
Desert soil is sandy, with large particles, large pore spaces and little organic matter, so water drains through it quickly and little is held for plants.
Black soil and clayey soil are fine-textured and hold water well (black soil becomes sticky when wet), and alluvial soil, a mixture of sand, silt and clay, holds a moderate amount.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A

Golconda Fort is in Telangana.
It stands on the western edge of Hyderabad and was the capital of the Qutb Shahi kings. Famous for its diamond trade - the Koh-i-Noor passed through it - it also has acoustics that carry a handclap at the entrance to the citadel a kilometre above.
Chemical weathering is most rapid in which type of climate?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Hot and humid
Chemical weathering proceeds fastest in hot, humid conditions, because it depends on water and on chemical reactions, and reaction rates roughly double for every 10°C rise in temperature. Abundant rainfall supplies the water and carries the products away, exposing fresh surfaces. That is why tropical regions develop very deep weathering profiles - tens of metres in places - and soils such as laterite, in which prolonged leaching has removed the silica and left iron and aluminium oxides behind. Its main processes are hydrolysis, in which feldspar is converted to clay; oxidation, which rusts iron-bearing minerals; carbonation, in which slightly acidic rainwater dissolves limestone and produces caves and karst; and solution. Physical weathering has the opposite preference, dominating in cold and arid climates through frost shattering and the expansion and contraction of rock under large temperature swings. The two reinforce each other, since breaking rock apart exposes more surface for chemical attack.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The reaction of minerals with carbonate and bicarbonate ions is carbonation. Rainwater dissolves carbon dioxide to form weak carbonic acid, which attacks calcium carbonate and converts it into soluble calcium bicarbonate:
\[ \mathrm{CaCO_3 + H_2O + CO_2 \rightarrow Ca(HCO_3)_2} \]
This is the process that dissolves limestone and produces karst caves and sinkholes.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The monsoon regions of South and South-East Asia are the most densely populated on Earth. Reliable summer rainfall, fertile alluvial plains and the ability to grow two or even three rice crops a year support enormous rural populations in the Ganga, Indus, Mekong and Yangtze basins.
Equatorial rainforests have poor leached soils, and hot deserts lack water, so both remain thinly settled.
