Direction for [ Question No: 1 To 1 ] :
The following line graph gives the ratio of the amounts of imports by a company to the amount of exports from that company over the period from 2014 to 2020. Study the graph and answer the questions that follow.
In how many of the given years were the exports more than the imports?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Exports are more than imports when the amount of imports is less than the amount of exports. This means the ratio of Imports to Exports must be less than 1.
We need to count the years where the ratio value is less than 1.
The years with a ratio less than 1 are:
- 2014 (0.65)
- 2015 (0.85)
- 2016 (0.35)
- 2019 (0.95)
There are 4 such years.
The digits of a two-digit number add up to 12, and the number formed by reversing them is 18 greater. The number is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Let the number be \( 10a + b \) with \( a + b = 12 \).
Reversing adds 18:
\[ (10b + a) - (10a + b) = 9(b - a) = 18 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad b - a = 2 \]
\[ a = 5, \quad b = 7 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad 57 \]
The vertices of a triangle are (0, 6), (-5, 3) and (5, 3). The triangle is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Isosceles
Compute the three side lengths with the distance formula.
\[(0,6)\text{ to }(-5,3): \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (-3)^2} = \sqrt{25+9} = \sqrt{34}\]
\[(0,6)\text{ to }(5,3): \sqrt{5^2 + (-3)^2} = \sqrt{25+9} = \sqrt{34}\]
\[(-5,3)\text{ to }(5,3): \sqrt{10^2 + 0^2} = 10\]
Two sides are equal and the third differs, so the triangle is isosceles but not equilateral. It is not right-angled either: \(34 + 34 = 68\), which is not \(10^2 = 100\).
If the sum of an A.P. is the same for p terms and q terms, then the sum of its (p+q) terms is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Given \(S_p = S_q\). \(\frac{p}{2}[2a+(p-1)d] = \frac{q}{2}[2a+(q-1)d]\). After simplification, we get \(2a(p-q) + d(p^2-p-q^2+q)=0 \Rightarrow (p-q)[2a+d(p+q-1)]=0\). Since p is not equal to q, \(2a+d(p+q-1)=0\). The sum of (p+q) terms is \(S_{p+q} = \frac{p+q}{2}[2a+(p+q-1)d]\). Since the term in the bracket is 0, the sum is 0.
Which of the following numbers is divisible by 11?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
A number is divisible by 11 if the difference between the sum of digits at odd places and the sum of digits at even places is 0 or a multiple of 11.
A) (1+6+3) - (4+5+2) = 10 - 11 = -1
B) (2+6+4) - (4+5+2) = 12 - 11 = 1
C) (4+6+1) - (2+5+3) = 11 - 10 = 1
D) (4+6+1) - (2+5+4) = 11 - 11 = 0. Since the difference is 0, 415624 is divisible by 11.
The length of a rectangle is 18 cm and its breadth is 10 cm. When the length is increased to 25 cm, what will be the breadth of the rectangle if the area remains the same?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The area is unchanged, so the new breadth follows from it directly.
\[ A = 18 \times 10 = 180 \text{ cm}^{2} \]
\[ b' = \frac{180}{25} = 7.2 \text{ cm} \]
Length and breadth are inversely proportional when the area is fixed: the length rose by a factor of \( \tfrac{25}{18} \), so the breadth falls by the same factor, \( 10 \times \tfrac{18}{25} = 7.2 \).

Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, Hand K are sitting around a circle facing the centre. F is fourth to the right of A, who is third to the right of B. K is fourth to the left of B and third to the right of D. C is third to the right of H. E is second to the left of G.
Who is fourth to the left of G?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: C
Facing the centre, each person’s left is the next seat clockwise and their right the next seat anticlockwise. Fix B; A sits three to B’s right, F four beyond A, K four to B’s left and D three to K’s left. Of the four seats left, C three to H’s right fits in only one way, and E two to G’s left then fills the last two. Clockwise the circle reads B → G → F → E → K → C → A → D → H.
Counting four seats to G’s left - clockwise - gives F, E, K and then C. The arrangement is fully determined, so the data are not inadequate.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
I.) A is a Hindu, B is a Sikh, E is a Muslim. Now, the doctor is a Christian and D is a cloth merchant. So, C is a Christian and D is a Hindu.
II.) D stays in locality S. E stays in locality R. Now, one businessman i.e. D and the lawyer stay in S. C is a doctor, stays in locality P. Clearly, A stays in locality Q.
III.) Clearly, A is a factory owner, B is a lawyer, C is a doctor, D is a cloth merchant and E is an engineer.

Given below are two statements followed by two conclusions. Assuming these statements to be true, decide which one logically follows.
Statements:
I. No manager is a leader.
II. All leaders are executives.
Conclusions:
I. No manager is an executive.
II. No executive is a manager.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
Statement I keeps managers and leaders apart; statement II puts all leaders inside the set of executives. Nothing says anything about managers and executives directly: managers may be executives who are not leaders, or they may not be executives at all.
So 'No manager is an executive' does not follow, and neither does 'No executive is a manager', which says the same thing. Both are possible but not certain, so options claiming either or both follow are wrong.
Consider an art gallery whose walkways are shown as lines in the diagram. A black dot represents a junction of two walkways. A guard may be placed at a junction to watch over the walkways that join at that junction. The minimum number of guards needed to watch all the walkways is ________.
[The diagram shows five walkways forming a single closed loop shaped like a house outline (a pentagon), with a black dot at each of its five corners.]
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The minimum number of guards is 3.
The walkways form one closed loop of five walkways joining five junctions in a ring. A guard at a junction covers exactly the two walkways meeting there, so two guards can cover at most four walkways. Five walkways therefore need at least three guards.
Three are enough. Number the junctions 1 to 5 round the loop and place guards at 1, 3 and 4: walkway 1-2 is watched from 1, walkways 2-3 and 3-4 from 3, walkway 4-5 from 4, and walkway 5-1 from 1. Any choice of three junctions that leaves no walkway with both ends unguarded works.
So 2 is too few, and 4 or 5 guards would work but are not the minimum.
General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 14 To 19 ] :
Which of the following is a social insect?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The social insect is the termite.
Termites live in large colonies with division of labour among castes: a king and queen that reproduce, workers that build and forage, and soldiers that defend the mound. Such cooperative colony life with overlapping generations is what makes an insect 'social' (eusocial), like ants and honeybees.
Mosquitoes and bedbugs live and feed as individuals. Locusts gather into huge swarms, but a swarm has no castes or cooperative brood care, so locusts are gregarious rather than social.
What is the national currency of Saudi Arabia?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
It is the Saudi riyal.
The riyal has been pegged to the US dollar at 3.75 since 1986, which is why Saudi domestic prices move with the dollar rather than with the oil price. It is divided into 100 halalas.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Real national income is national income at constant prices.
Valuing output at the prices of a fixed base year strips out the effect of inflation, so that a rise in the figure means more goods and services and not merely dearer ones. National income at current prices is the nominal measure.
By which Act was the Public Service Commission established for the first time in India ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The Government of India Act, 1919 provided for the first Public Service Commission in India.
It was set up in 1926 on the recommendation of the Lee Commission. The 1935 Act then provided for a Federal Public Service Commission and provincial commissions, which became the UPSC and the state commissions in 1950.
Current Affairs [ Question No: 20 To 20 ] :
What is the primary objective of the "E-Daksh" project of Government of Madhya Pradesh?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The objective is to sensitize government officials to e-governance and IT projects, the option printed as 'To sanitize Government Officials in the implementations of e-governance and information technology projects'.
E-Daksh is the Madhya Pradesh government's capacity-building programme in information technology: training centres where government officers and employees learn to use computers and to implement e-governance projects. Its focus is on preparing officials rather than on building infrastructure. The paper's 'sanitize' is a misprint for 'sensitize'.
Setting up IT infrastructure in every district, providing internet across the state, or giving IT support to officials describe other programmes, not the purpose of E-Daksh.
