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 4 ] :
A grocer has a sale of Rs. 6,435, Rs. 6,927, Rs. 6,855, Rs. 7,230 and Rs. 6,562 for 5 consecutive months. How much sale must he have in the sixth month so that he gets an average sale of Rs. 6,500 ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The sixth month's sale must be Rs. 4991.
For an average of Rs. 6,500 over six months, the total must be 6 × 6,500 = Rs. 39,000. The first five months give:
\[ \begin{aligned} &6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562 \\ &= 34009 \\ &39000 - 34009 = 4991 \end{aligned} \]
So the sixth month needs Rs. 4,991. The other options each give a total above or below Rs. 39,000; for example, 5,467 would make the average about Rs. 6,579.
The time taken by a boat to go 21 km downstream is equal to the time taken by it to go 9 km upstream. To go 12 km downstream and the same distance upstream, it takes a total of \(5\frac{5}{7}\) hours. How much time (in hours) will the boat take to go 28 km downstream?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The boat takes 4 hours to go 28 km downstream. Equal times for 21 km downstream and 9 km upstream mean the speeds are in the ratio 21 : 9 = 7 : 3, so downstream speed is \(7k\) and upstream speed is \(3k\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{12}{7k} + \frac{12}{3k} &= 5\frac{5}{7} \\ &= \frac{40}{7} \end{aligned} \] \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{12 + 28}{7k} &= \frac{40}{7k} \\ &= \frac{40}{7} \Rightarrow k \\ &= 1 \end{aligned} \] Downstream speed is 7 km/h, so \[ \frac{28}{7} = 4\text{ hours} \] The other options do not match this speed.

|---|---|
| Monday | 86 |
| Tuesday | 114 |
| Wednesday | 141 |

| Friday | 124 |
| Saturday | 151 |
On which day, the number of visitors to the library was 29 more than its previous day?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The day is Friday.
Compare each day with the day before it:
- Tuesday: 114 − 86 = 28
- Wednesday: 141 − 114 = 27
- Thursday: 95 − 141, a fall
- Friday: 124 − 95 = 29
- Saturday: 151 − 124 = 27
Only Friday is exactly 29 more than the previous day. Tuesday (28) is the near miss, and Wednesday and Saturday are each 27 more.
What is the unit digit of \(13^{35}\) ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
\(13^{1}\) has unit digit \(3\)
\(13^{2}\) has unit digit \(9\)
\(13^{3}\) has unit digit \(7\)
\(13^{4}\) has unit digit \(1\)
This will form a pattern \(3-7-9-1\)
So, \(13^{32}\) has unit digit \(1\)
\(13^{35}\) has unit digit as \(7\)

Find the next term: 3, 8, 18, 38, ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: 78
Each term is twice the previous term plus 2.
\[3 \times 2 + 2 = 8, \quad 8 \times 2 + 2 = 18, \quad 18 \times 2 + 2 = 38\]
So the next term is \(38 \times 2 + 2 = 78\).
Statement:
This is the first time two women have been awarded the Nobel prize in medicine.
Conclusions:
I. This is not the first time that Nobel prize has been awarded in medicine.
II. Women have been awarded the Nobel prize in economics.
III. Earlier, women have been awarded the Nobel prize in medicine.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: Only I and III follow
If this is the first time two women have received the prize in medicine, then the prize has been awarded in medicine before - conclusion I - and the emphasis on the number implies that women had received it before, singly, which is conclusion III. Conclusion II concerns economics, a different prize altogether, on which the statement says nothing.
A tailor had a number of shirt pieces to cut from a roll of fabric. He cut each roll of equal length into 10 pieces. He cut at the rate of 45 cuts a minute. How many rolls would be cut in 24 minutes ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: 120 rolls
Cutting a roll into 10 pieces takes 9 cuts, not 10. In 24 minutes he makes \[ 45\times24 = 1080\ \mathrm{cuts}, \qquad \frac{1080}{9} = 120\ \mathrm{rolls}. \] Dividing by 10 instead gives 108, which is offered as a distractor - the same fencepost point as the garden question above.

Which one of the following statements is not true as per the passage?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The statement that is not true as per the passage is that man's inner spirit tells him to be on the look out for newer and higher wants.
The passage says the opposite: the spirit within him is 'ever exhorting him to cut down his needs and learn to be happy with what he has'.
The other three agree with it: the spirit of inventiveness helps with every new problem (A); man is the subject of needs (B); and man caters to his desire for beauty and grace, which makes some of the needs he creates good or beautiful (C).

In the sentence below, a part is printed in bold. Choose the alternative that best replaces it. If no improvement is needed, choose ‘No correction required’.
The chairman refused to accepting the resignation letter.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: to accept
Refuse is followed by an infinitive, not a gerund: refused to accept. English divides verbs into three groups on this point, and the division has to be learned rather than reasoned out. Verbs taking the infinitive include refuse, agree, decide, hope, promise, want, expect, manage, offer and fail. Verbs taking the gerund include enjoy, avoid, finish, mind, suggest, admit, deny, consider, risk and postpone. A third group takes either, sometimes with a change of meaning: he stopped smoking means he gave it up, while he stopped to smoke means he paused in order to smoke. Remember, forget, regret and try behave the same way. To accepting is doubly wrong, treating the infinitive marker as though it were a preposition.

Conclusions :
I. Some of the students for M.A. (social work) will have previous experience of social work.
II. Some of the students of M.A. (social work) will not have previous experience of social work
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : E
Correct answer: Both I and II follow
The rule is that previous experience is normally required, but may be waived for outstanding candidates. A waiver implies both a default and an exception.
- I - follows. Candidates admitted under the ordinary condition will have the experience.
- II - follows. Those admitted under the waiver will not.
Both conclusions say some, which is what a rule with exceptions supports.

Read each sentence comprising of (a), (b), (c) and (d) to find out whether there is any grammatical error or idiomatic error in it. Find out the incorrect option from amongst the sentences given below.
(a) Having received your letter
(b) this morning, we are writing
(c) to thank you for the same.
(d) No error.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The answer is No error.
'Having received your letter this morning, we are writing to thank you for the same.' The participle phrase 'Having received your letter' refers correctly to the subject we, who received the letter, and the present continuous 'we are writing' suits a letter being written now.
Part (a) is not a dangling participle, part (b) has the right tense, and 'for the same' in part (c), though formal commercial English, is accepted usage, so none of them is in error.

This is streamline, or laminar, flow.
Every particle passing a given point follows the same path with the same velocity, so the streamlines never cross. Above a critical speed the flow becomes turbulent and the motion at each point varies irregularly with time.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The Narmada is the largest west-flowing river of peninsular India.
It runs about 1,312 km through a rift valley between the Vindhya and Satpura ranges to the Gulf of Cambay. Because it flows in a rift rather than a valley of its own cutting, it forms an estuary rather than a delta, as the Tapti also does.
