Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 1 ] :
A trader owes a merchant Rs. 10,028 due 1 year hence. The trader wants to settle the account after 3 months. If the rate of interest 12% per annum, how much cash should he pay?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The present worth (PW) is what the sum is really worth today; the true discount (TD) is the interest that PW would earn over the remaining time:
\[ \text{Amount} = \text{PW}\left(1 + \frac{RT}{100}\right), \qquad \text{TD} = \text{Amount} - \text{PW} \]
The debt falls due in 1 year and is being settled after 3 months, so it is being paid 9 months early. Only that unexpired period is discounted.
\[ T = \frac{9}{12} = \frac{3}{4} \text{ year}, \qquad \frac{RT}{100} = \frac{12 \times 3/4}{100} = 0.09 \]
\[ \text{PW} = \frac{10028}{1.09} = 9200 \]
So he should pay Rs. 9200. The commonest error is discounting for the full year rather than for the nine months actually saved.

Which lecture is scheduled between Statistics and English ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The lecture between them is History.
The schedule (see the previous question) is: Monday Statistics, Tuesday History, Wednesday English, Thursday Economics, Friday Mathematics.
Between Statistics (Monday) and English (Wednesday) lies Tuesday, with History. Economics and Mathematics come after English, and there is a lecture on every day, so 'No Lecture' is wrong.
Laying out the five days in a row makes such questions quick: Statistics, History, English, Economics, Mathematics.

Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions.
Representatives of eight different banks, viz A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H, are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre, but not necessarily in the same order. Each one of them is from a different bank, viz UCO Bank, Oriental Bank of Commerce, Bank of Maharashtra, Canara Bank, Syndicate Bank, Punjab National Bank, Bank of India and Dena Bank.
F sits second to the right of the representative of Canara Bank. The representative of Bank of India is an immediate neighbour of the representative of Canara Bank. Two person sit between the representative of Bank of India and B. C and E are immediate neighbours. Neither C nor E is an immediate neighbour of either B or the representative of Canara Bank. The representative of Bank of Maharashtra sits second to the right of D. D is the representative of neither Canara Bank nor Bank of India. G and the representative of UCO Bank are immediate neighbours. B is not the representative of UCO Bank. Only one person sits between C and the representative of Oriental Bank of Commerce. H sits third to the left of the representative of Dena Bank. The representative of Punjab National Bank sits second to the left of the representative of Syndicate Bank.
Who amongst the following sits second to the left of B?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: The representative of Punjab National Bank
All eight face the centre, so each person’s left is the next seat clockwise and their right the next seat anticlockwise.
Put the Canara representative in place; F sits two seats to his right and the Bank of India representative beside him. B is three seats from Bank of India, and C and E - who must be neighbours and may touch neither B nor Canara - then have only one pair of seats available. D is neither Canara nor Bank of India, and the Bank of Maharashtra representative sits two to D’s right, which fixes D. G must sit beside the UCO representative, B is not UCO, and only one arrangement then satisfies the Punjab National–Syndicate spacing, the single seat between C and Oriental Bank of Commerce, and H three seats to the left of Dena.
Clockwise the table reads H (Canara) → A (Bank of Maharashtra) → B (Syndicate) → D (Oriental Bank of Commerce) → E (Punjab National) → C (Dena) → F (UCO) → G (Bank of India).
Counting two seats to B’s left - clockwise - gives D and then E, the Punjab National Bank representative.

Statement: Vitamin E tablets improve circulation, keep your complexion in a glowing condition.
Assumptions:
1. People like a glowing complexion.
2. Complexion becomes dull in the absence of circulation.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : E
Correct answer: Both I and II are implicit
The advertisement offers a glowing complexion as an inducement, which presupposes that people want one - assumption I - and it ties the complexion to circulation, which presupposes that poor circulation dulls it - assumption II. Both are implicit.
P is the brother of D. X is the sister of P. A is the brother of F. F is the daughter of D. M is the father of X. Who is the uncle of A ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The uncle of A is P.
Work out A's parent first. F is the daughter of D, and A is the brother of F, so A is also a child of D. P is the brother of D, so P is the brother of A's parent, that is, A's uncle.
X is the sister of P, so X is also a sibling of D and is A's aunt, not uncle. F is A's sister. M is the father of X, and so of P and D as well, which makes M A's grandfather.
Statements: All men are vertebrates. Some mammals are vertebrates.
Conclusions:
1. All men are mammals.
2. All mammals are men.
3. Some vertebrates are mammals.
4. All vertebrates are men.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: Only (3)
Some mammals are vertebrates gives its converse, some vertebrates are mammals. The other three try to link men with mammals, and the only connection is through vertebrates as a predicate in both statements - an undistributed middle, which proves nothing.

Correct answer: 125000
Each term is a cube multiplied by a thousand: \( 1^3, 2^3, 3^3, 4^3 \) times 1000, so the next is \( 5^3 \times 1000 = \mathbf{125000} \).
General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 8 To 19 ] :
Which one of the following railway station is not the adjoining station to the historical Bandikui junction of Rajasthan ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The station that does not adjoin Bandikui Junction is Jatwara.
Bandikui is a junction of the Delhi-Jaipur line and the Agra-Bandikui line. Its neighbouring stations are Gulana on the Delhi side, Arnia on the Jaipur side, and Shri Ghasinagar on the line towards Agra.
Gulana, Arnia and Shri Ghasinagar are therefore the adjoining stations named in options B, D and A. Jatwara is not one of them.
In India, which of the following Articles of the Constitution states that each judge of the Supreme Court shall be appointed by the President after consulting the other judges of the Supreme Court and the High Courts?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Article 124 provides for the Supreme Court judges: each judge is appointed by the President after consulting such Supreme Court and High Court judges as the President thinks necessary.

The imaginary line at 180° longitude, where the calendar date changes, is called
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: The International Date Line
The International Date Line follows the 180° meridian through the Pacific. Crossing it westward advances the date by a day; crossing eastward puts it back one. It exists because the globe is divided into 24 hourly zones, so travelling right round the world gains or loses a full day, and that discrepancy has to be resolved somewhere. The 180th meridian was chosen because it runs almost entirely over open ocean. “Almost” is why the line is not straight: it bends around Siberia, the Aleutians and several Pacific island groups so that no country is split across two dates. Kiribati moved it far to the east in 1995 for exactly that reason. The Prime Meridian at 0° is its counterpart, the reference for longitude and for Greenwich Mean Time.
