A sum becomes Rs. 3000 at the rate of 12% per annum (simple interest). The same sum becomes Rs. 3300 at the rate of 15% per annum (simple interest) in the same duration. Find the sum and the duration.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
\[ \text{SI} = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \]
Write both amounts for the same \( P \) and \( T \).
\[ P + \frac{12PT}{100} = 3000, \qquad P + \frac{15PT}{100} = 3300 \]
Subtracting:
\[ \frac{3PT}{100} = 300 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad PT = 10{,}000 \]
Substituting back:
\[ P + 0.12 \times 10000 = 3000 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad P = \text{Rs. } 1800 \]
\[ T = \frac{10000}{1800} = 5.56 \approx 5.5 \text{ years} \]
Subtracting the two equations removes the principal and leaves the product \( PT \) - the key step.
A train travels a certain distance by taking 3 stops of 20 minutes each. Considering the period of stoppage, the overall speed of the train comes to 40 kmph; while without consideration of stoppage, it is 60 kmph. How much distance must the train have travelled ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Three stops of 20 minutes cost exactly one hour, so the journey with stops takes an hour longer.
\[ \frac{D}{40} - \frac{D}{60} = 1 \]
\[ D\left(\frac{3 - 2}{120}\right) = 1 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad D = 120 \text{ km} \]
Checking: 3 hours with stops against 2 hours of pure running.
There is a leak at the bottom of a cistern. Due to this it takes 8 hours to fill the cistern. Had there not been a leak, it would take one hour less to fill the cistern. How much time does it take for the leak to completely empty the cistern?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Work in rates: a pipe that fills a tank in \( n \) units of time fills \( \tfrac{1}{n} \) of it per unit, and rates add (an emptying pipe counting negative).
Without the leak the cistern fills in \( 8 - 1 = 7 \) hours.
\[ \frac{1}{7} - \frac{1}{L} = \frac{1}{8} \]
\[ \frac{1}{L} = \frac{1}{7} - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{8 - 7}{56} = \frac{1}{56} \]
\[ L = 56 \text{ hours} \]

3. No. This goes against the basic rights of the individuals.
4. Yes. This will increase productivity.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The issue discussed in the statement is nowhere related to increase in unemployment, as the number of vacancies filled in will remain the same. Also, in a working place, it is the performance of the individual that matters and that makes him more or less wanted, and not his educational qualifications. So, neither I nor II holds strong. Besides, the needs of a job are laid down in the desired qualifications for the job. So, recruitment of more qualified people cannot augment productivity. Thus, IV also does not hold strong. However, it is the right of an individual to get the post for which he fulfils the eligibility criteria, whatever be his extra merits. Hence, argument III holds strong.
Direction for [ Question No: 5 To 5 ] :
Six lectures A, B, C, D, E and F are to be organised in a spam of seven days -- from Sunday to Saturday, only one lecture on each day in accordance with the following :
A should not be organised on Thursday.
C should be organised immediately after F.
There should be a gap of two days between E and D.
One day there will be no lecture (Friday is not that day), just before that day D will be organised.
B should be organised on Tuesday and should not be followed by D.
How many lectures are organised between C and D ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
B is organised on Tuesday. Now, D is followed by the day with nno lecture. D cannot be organised on Friday because then E will be on Tuesday (there is a gap of two days between D and E). It cannot be organised on Thursday (because then, there will be no lecture Friday). B cannot be followed by D. So, D will be organised on Sunday and E on Wednesday. No lecture will be organised on Monday. A cannot be organised on Thursday. So, A will be organised on Saturday. F and C will be organised on Thursday and Friday respectively.
So the correct order is :
|
Sunday |
Monday |
Tuesday |
Wednesday |
Thursday |
Friday |
Saturday |
|
D |
x |
B |
E |
F |
C |
A |
So, Three lectures are organised between C and D -- B, E and F.
If '→' denotes increasing order of intensity, then the meaning of the words [sick → infirm → moribund] is analogous to [silly → _______ → daft].
Which one of the given options is appropriate to fill the blank?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The word that fits is vain.
The first series climbs in intensity from merely sick to infirm to moribund (close to death). The second must climb in the same way from silly to daft: the middle word should mean foolish, a step between the two. Vain in its older sense means foolish or senseless (as in 'vain hopes', 'vain talk'), which fits the slot.
Frown is a facial expression and fawn means to flatter or a young deer; vein is a blood vessel. All three are sound-alike distractors with no link to foolishness.
In a group of six women, there are four dancers, four vocal musicians, one actress and three violinists. Girija and Vanaja are among the violinists while Jalaja and Shailja do not know how to play on the vilion. Shailja and Tanuja are among the dancer. Jalaja, Vanaja, Shailja and Tanuja are all vocal musicians and two of them are also violinists. If Pooja is an actress, who among the following is both a dancer and a violinist ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The four vocal musicians and one actress in the group are given. Two dancers are Shailja and Tanuja. Two violinists are Girija and Vanaja. Since Jalaja and Shailja cannot be violinists. so, remaining two violinists are Tanuja and Pooja.
Clearly, Tanuja is both a violinist andd a dancer.

Which of phrases given below each sentence should replace the phrase printed in bold type to make the grammatically correct? If the sentence is correct as it is, mark 'E' as the answer.
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 quality of the products are steadily improving.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : E
Correct answer: is
The subject is the quality, singular, so the verb is is. Of the products is a prepositional phrase, and a noun inside one can never be the subject. This pattern - a singular head noun followed by of and a plural noun - is among the most reliable sources of agreement errors, because the plural sits next to the verb and the ear follows it. The same trap appears in the list of items is long, a bunch of keys was found and the cost of vegetables has risen. The remedy is mechanical: cross out everything between the head noun and the verb, and the correct form becomes obvious. There is one genuine exception, with expressions of quantity such as a number of, a lot of and plenty of, where the verb follows the noun after of: a number of students were absent.
Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined word in the given proverb. If there is no need to substitute it, select 'No substitution required'.
Keep your face always toward the clouds, and shadows will fall behind you.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The word that can replace 'clouds' is 'sunshine'. The proverb is 'Keep your face always toward the sunshine, and shadows will fall behind you'. The picture is of a person who turns to the light so that the shadows are cast behind. Facing clouds would not make shadows fall behind.
'Sky' and 'ground' do not give the same sense of turning to the light, and 'No substitution required' is wrong because the sentence with 'clouds' does not make sense as a proverb: clouds do not cast shadows behind the person who faces them. The second option is the answer.
Computer Awareness [ Question No: 10 To 13 ] :
What kind of charts can an excel produce ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: produce many personalised documents from one template and a data source
Mail Merge combines a main document - a letter, label sheet or envelope containing merge fields - with a data source such as a Word table, an Excel worksheet or an Outlook contact list, producing one personalised copy per record. The process has three parts: writing the main document, connecting the data source and inserting the fields, then previewing and completing the merge. Fields such as «FirstName» are replaced by the value from each record in turn. It is more capable than simple substitution. Rules allow conditional text - an If…Then…Else field can vary the wording by record - and recipients can be filtered or sorted before merging. The third option describes an entirely different feature, Combine or Compare, used to reconcile two versions of the same document. Mail Merge is most often used for form letters, mailing labels, envelopes and certificates.
