Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Humans have long since evolved into gods in the eyes of other species. We don't like to think too much about this because we haven't been very forgiving or just as gods. You can easily believe that lions, tigers, and other large cats that are equal to humans inhabit most of planet Earth if you watch the National Geographic channel, go to a Disney movie, or read a book of fairy tales. However, in truth, they are no longer present. The majority of people on the planet are humans and the domesticated animals they keep. Epochs like the Pleistocene, Pliocene, and Miocene are used by scientists to categorise the history of our planet. We are formally living in the Holocene period. However, it might be appropriate to refer to the previous 70,000 years as the Anthropocene epoch, or the Age of Humanity.
Because throughout these millenia, Homo sapiens emerged as the single most significant driver of change in the environment of the entire planet. This phenomenon is unusually new and changes the thrust of other creatures on the planet. Since the beginning of life, roughly 4 billion years ago, no single species has ever completely altered the planet's environment. There had been plenty of ecological revolutions and mass extinction incidents, but these weren't brought on by the behaviour of a specific lizard, bat, or fungus. Instead, powerful natural factors including climate change, tectonic plate movement, volcanic eruptions, and asteroid collisions were responsible for their creation. Homo Sapiens altered the game's rules. Within the past 70,000 years, this one ape species has been able to drastically alter the world's ecosystem. Our influence has already surpassed that of geological shifts and ice periods.
According to the passage, which period are we living in?

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 6 ] :
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 a class of 120 students, 90 students passed in History, 65 students passed in Sociology and 30 students failed in both the subjects. How many students passed in both the subjects?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Total students = 120.
Number of students who failed in both subjects = 30.
Number of students who passed in at least one subject = Total students - Failed in both = 120 - 30 = 90.
So, n(H ∪ S) = 90.
Given n(H) = 90 and n(S) = 65.
Using the formula n(H ∪ S) = n(H) + n(S) - n(H ∩ S):
90 = 90 + 65 - n(H ∩ S)
n(H ∩ S) = 155 - 90 = 65.
So, 65 students passed in both subjects.
I purchased a bike for Rs. 1056 in cash and sold it the same day for Rs. 1296, payable after 8 months. If the rate of interest is 12% per annum, what was my gain per cent?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
\[ \text{Amount} = \text{PW}\left(1 + \frac{RT}{100}\right), \qquad \text{TD} = \text{Amount} - \text{PW} \]
The Rs. 1296 is payable after 8 months, so \( T = \dfrac{8}{12} = \dfrac{2}{3} \) year at 12%:
\[ \frac{RT}{100} = \frac{12 \times 2/3}{100} = 0.08 \]
\[ \text{PW} = \frac{1296}{1.08} = \text{Rs. } 1200 \]
\[ \text{gain} = 1200 - 1056 = \text{Rs. } 144 \]
\[ \text{gain}\% = \frac{144}{1056} \times 100 = 13.64\% \approx 13.6\% \]
Comparing Rs. 1296 with Rs. 1056 directly suggests 22.7% - the last distractor - but that ignores the eight months of waiting.
At what time between 4 and 5 o’clock will the hands of a clock first be at right angles ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: 5 (5/11) min past 4
At 4 o’clock the hour hand leads by \(120°\). For the first right angle the minute hand must reduce that lead to \(90°\), a relative gain of \(30°\).
\[t = \frac{30}{5.5} = \frac{60}{11} = 5\tfrac{5}{11}\ \text{minutes}\]
The second right angle in that hour comes when the minute hand has gained \(210°\), at \(38\tfrac{2}{11}\) minutes past 4.
A cube of edge 15 cm is immersed completely in a rectangular vessel containing water. If the dimensions of the base of the vessel are 20 cm × 15 cm, find the rise in water level.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The immersed cube displaces its own volume of water, which spreads over the vessel's base.
\[ V_{\text{cube}} = 15^{3} = 3375 \text{ cm}^{3} \]
\[ \text{base area} = 20 \times 15 = 300 \text{ cm}^{2} \]
\[ \text{rise} = \frac{3375}{300} = 11.25 \text{ cm} \]
The cube's own 15 cm edge is not the rise: the water spreads over a base twice the cube's footprint, so it climbs less far.
The area of a square is 4096 sq cm. Find the ratio of the breadth and the length of a rectangle whose length is twice the side of the square and breadth is 24 cm less than the side of the square.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
\[ \text{side of square} = \sqrt{4096} = 64 \text{ cm} \]
\[ \text{length} = 2 \times 64 = 128 \text{ cm}, \qquad \text{breadth} = 64 - 24 = 40 \text{ cm} \]
\[ \text{breadth} : \text{length} = 40 : 128 = 5 : 16 \]
That ratio is not among the choices, so the answer is none of these. The 7 : 16 on offer is close enough to catch a careless division.

In a certain code language, LIGHT is written as MJHIU, and CRANE is written as DSBMF. How will CHANGE be written in that language?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
CHANGE is written as DIBOHF.
In LIGHT to MJHIU each letter moves one step forward (L to M, I to J, G to H, H to I, T to U), and CRANE would follow the same rule. Applying it to CHANGE gives C to D, H to I, A to B, N to O, G to H and E to F, which is DIBOHF.
The other options change some of the letters by different amounts, so they do not follow the rule.
To avoid errors, shift each letter of CHANGE separately: C to D, H to I, A to B, N to O, G to H and E to F. Reading them together gives DIBOHF. The other options each contain at least one letter that is not the next letter of the original, for example EHBMIF changes C to E.
The five terms below advance by a fixed amount. Supply the sixth.
E, J, O, T, ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Y
Each letter is five places beyond its predecessor: E(5), J(10), O(15), T(20). Five past 20 is position 25, which is Y. The positions are the multiples of five, which makes the series easy to verify without reciting the alphabet. Z sits at 26 and is the last letter, so it attracts a guess from anyone who assumes the series must finish at the end. Once the positions are written down, a five-step series is just counting in fives, and the only real risk is mistaking the position of the starting letter.
Fill in:
R2, S4, T8, U16, ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: V32
The letters advance one place at a time - R, S, T, U, then V - while the numbers double: 2, 4, 8, 16, then 32. So the next term is V32.
The question given below has a set of three or four statements. Each set of statements is further divided into three segments. Choose the alternative where the third segment in the statement can be logically deduced using both the preceding two, but not just from one of them.

A. No Z is A. All X is Z. No X is A.
B. No Z is A. All X is Z. All X is A.
C. Some Z is not A. Some X is Z. Some X is not A.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: A
In A the conclusion follows: no Z is A and all X is Z, so no X can be A. B draws the opposite conclusion from the same premises, which contradicts them; and in C both premises are particular or negative-particular, from which nothing follows.
If in a certain language, MADRAS is coded as NBESBT, how is BOMBAY coded in that code ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: CPNCBZ
Each letter moves one place forward: M→N, A→B, D→E, R→S, A→B, S→T. Applying the same shift to BOMBAY gives B→C, O→P, M→N, B→C, A→B, Y→Z. The last letter is the one to watch: Y wraps round to Z, and the options differ chiefly in whether that step was taken.

According to the passage, which period are we living in?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
According to the passage we are formally living in the Holocene period, though it may be fitting to call the last 70,000 years the Anthropocene. Miocene, Pleistocene and Pliocene are earlier epochs that the passage lists as examples used to classify the history of the planet. The passage says that scientists use epochs such as the Pleistocene, Pliocene and Miocene to classify the history of the planet, and that we are formally living in the Holocene, though the last 70,000 years could be called the Anthropocene, so the Holocene is the period the passage names.
