Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :
Fitness is zero percent investment with infinite returns. There is a surge in diabetes and hypertension cases and other lifestyle diseases. Fitness is the only thing that can help. But with technology, physical activity has reduced. It has become fashionable to talk about fitness rather than act on it.
Several factors are cited to explain why fitness levels in school children are constantly declining. Children now walk far less than they used to. Instead of walking to or back from their school, they use a school bus, or get dropped and picked in a car. Once back home, they sit glued to the idiot box for several hours or keep playing computer games.
Excessive screen time can negatively impact a child's physical and mental health from increasing the risk of obesity to disturbing sleep patterns. There is neither place nor inclination to play outdoor games. Children's diet consists mainly of fast foods, fried foods, chocolates, crispies, sweets and fizzy drinks. These foods may be delicious and, therefore, tempting, but they are highly deficient in vital nutrients. Parents are often aware of this, but out of misplaced love for children, they hardly ever discipline their eating habits. Girls, usually keen to remain slim, keep dieting unnecessarily and deprive their bodies of vital nourishment.
It is important that children spend plenty of time playing in fresh air and exercise even more than the grown-ups in order that their muscles develop and their bones grow properly. If they can go for a regular swim and walk down to the swimming pool, it would combine the benefits of both walking and swimming. In addition, they should be encouraged to take healthy and wholesome food rich in nutrients to avoid what may be described as convenience foods.
Which part of speech is the underlined word in the following sentence?
They are highly deficient in vital nutrients.

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 4 ] :
Which one of the following is the best approximation of \( \frac{7.1 \times 3.85}{9.09} \)?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The best approximation is \( \frac{7 \times 4}{9} \).
Round each number to the nearest whole number: 7.1 is about 7, 3.85 is about 4, and 9.09 is about 9.
\[ \begin{aligned} \frac{7.1 \times 3.85}{9.09} &\approx \frac{7 \times 4}{9} \\ &\approx 3.1 \end{aligned} \]
The exact value is about 3.007. Rounding 3.85 down to 3 makes the numerator far too small, and rounding 9.09 up to 10 moves the denominator further than necessary, so the options with 3 or 10 are poorer approximations.
The circumferences of two circles are 264 meters and 352 meters. Find the difference between the areas of the larger and the smaller circles.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Let the radii of the smaller and the larger circles be s m and l m respectively.
2∏s = 264 and 2∏l = 352
s = 264/2∏ and l = 352/2∏
Difference between the areas = ∏l² - ∏s²
= ∏{176²/∏² - 132²/∏²}
= 176²/∏ - 132²/∏
= (176 - 132)(176 + 132)/∏
= (44)(308)/(22/7) = (2)(308)(7) = 4312 sq m
A rectangular margin has a length of 48 cm and an area of 840 sq. cm. Its area becomes \( 2\tfrac{6}{7} \) times the original when the breadth alone is increased. What is the perimeter of the enlarged rectangle?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Find the original breadth, then the new one.
\[ b = \frac{840}{48} = 17.5 \text{ cm} \]
\[ A_{\text{new}} = 840 \times 2\tfrac{6}{7} = 840 \times \frac{20}{7} = 2400 \text{ cm}^{2} \]
The length is unchanged, so
\[ b_{\text{new}} = \frac{2400}{48} = 50 \text{ cm} \]
\[ \text{perimeter} = 2(48 + 50) = 196 \text{ cm} = 1.96 \text{ m} \]
The answer is offered in metres, so the 196 cm must be divided by 100 - the step the distractors are spaced around.
Two cars cover the same distance at the speed of 60 and 64 kmps respectively. Find the distance traveled by them if the slower car takes 1 hour more than the faster car.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The slower car takes one hour longer over the same distance.
\[ \frac{d}{60} - \frac{d}{64} = 1 \]
\[ d\left(\frac{64 - 60}{3840}\right) = 1 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad \frac{4d}{3840} = 1 \]
\[ d = 960 \text{ km} \]
The unit matters: the answer is in kilometres, since the speeds were given in kmph.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: with the help of some passengers, check them from doing so.
Pulling the chain for one’s own convenience endangers the train and delays everyone on it. Acting alone against a group is unwise, but with the other passengers behind you the students can be stopped.
Direction for [ Question No: 6 To 6 ] :
Choose the correct alternative from the following.
Assertion (A) : Seeds should be treated with fungicide before being sown.
Reason (R) : Seeds do not germinate, unless treated with fungicide solution.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: A is true but R is false.
Seed treatment with a fungicide is standard practice, so A is true. But untreated seed germinates perfectly well; the dressing protects the young seedling from soil-borne fungi such as smut and damping-off. R is false.
The height of Ram is 5 feet, Mohan is 2 feet taller than Ram, while Sohan is 1 feet taller. Sohan is 1 feet taller than Ram. Who is the tallest among them?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Ram is 5 feet tall. Mohan is 2 feet taller than Ram, so Mohan is 7 feet. Sohan is 1 foot taller than Ram, which is the sentence the question repeats, so Sohan is 6 feet. Comparing the three heights, Mohan at 7 feet is taller than Sohan at 6 feet and Ram at 5 feet. So Mohan is the tallest. Sohan is only taller than Ram, and Ram is the shortest. The heights can be fixed from the data, so the option that says the tallest cannot be determined is wrong. The answer is Mohan, option C.
Pointing to a photograph, Narender said "She is the daughter of my grandfather's only son." How is Narender related to the girl in the photograph ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: Brother
My grandfather’s only son is Narender’s father, so the girl is Narender’s sister and he is her brother.

Which part of speech is the underlined word in the following sentence?
They are highly deficient in vital nutrients.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The underlined word 'highly' is an Adverb.
In 'They are highly deficient in vital nutrients', 'highly' modifies the adjective 'deficient', telling to what degree the foods are deficient. Words that modify verbs, adjectives or other adverbs are adverbs; 'highly' here is an adverb of degree, like 'very' or 'extremely'.
It is not an adjective, since it does not qualify a noun ('high' would be the adjective). It names nothing, so it is not a noun, and it shows no action or state, so it is not a verb.

Which of the following should be the second sentence ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: 1
Second in the rearranged paragraph is sentence 1.
The paragraph runs 4 – 1 – 5 – 3 – 2 – 6:
- 4 states the general observation about how officials differ.
- 1 extends it with also - the means and methods differ too.
- 5 describes the best officials.
- 3 turns to the poorest.
- 2 illustrates them - no move unless the gallery is packed.
- 6 completes the picture with the stock formula.
Sentences 2 and 6 both begin they and describe evasiveness, so they belong with the poorest in 3, not with the best in 5.
