Read the following passage and answer questions :
Dr. Johnson described sleep as a 'gentle tyrant'. 'Sleep' is a tyrant because nobody can escape its regimen; 'gentle' because there is some flexibility …of course, within limits … in the distribution of the hours of sleeping and being awake. We go to sleep way 15 to 16 hours; and sleep for about 8 hours in a 24 hours cycle. The outer limit for keeping sleep at bay for the average individual is 72 hours. An average individual cannot keep continuously awake for more than 72 hours. Of course, there have been exceptional individuals like the tyrant Napoleon and Arjuna. 'Sleep' and 'Education' are intimate enemies. Most often they go together but they always work against each other. Often students lose sleep thanks to fear of failing in the examinations. However, when they sit down to study sleep overpower them. Is it possible to develop and impart education about sleep ? Has anybody successfully done it ? What should be the aims of education vis-à-vis sleep ? What are the best agencies for imparting education about sleep ? What should be a curriculum for sleep education be like ? There is urgent need for research in this area.

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 2 ] :
A ladder 15 m long just reaches the top of a vertical wall. If the ladder makes an angle of 60° with the wall, then the height of the wall is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Be careful with the angle. The angle is with the *wall*, not the ground.
Let h be the height of the wall (adjacent side to the 60° angle) and L be the length of the ladder (hypotenuse).
\(\cos(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{Adjacent}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}\)
\(\cos 60° = \frac{h}{15}\)
\(\frac{1}{2} = \frac{h}{15}\)
h = 15 / 2 = 7.5 meters.
Insert the missing number 7, 26, 63, 124, 215, 342, (....)
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Each term is one less than a perfect cube.
\[ 2^{3}-1 = 7,\quad 3^{3}-1 = 26,\quad 4^{3}-1 = 63,\quad 5^{3}-1 = 124 \]
\[ 6^{3}-1 = 215,\quad 7^{3}-1 = 342,\quad 8^{3}-1 = \mathbf{511} \]
The near miss 513 would be \( 8^{3} + 1 \) - the same cube with the sign of the correction flipped.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
(I). T stays as PG; S stays in hostel.
U stays in hostel and Q stays at home.
Now, R does not stay as PG. So, P stays as PG.
Clearly, R stays at home.
(II). S studies Physics; R studies Philosophy and T studies Mathematics. Now, P who stays as PG does not study Statistics or History. So, P studies English.

A woman says, "If you reverse my own age, the figures represent my husband's age. He is, of course, senior to me and the difference between our ages is one-eleventh of their sum." The woman's age is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Let x and y be the ten's and unit's digits respectively of the numeral denoting the woman's age.
Then, woman's age = (10X + y) years; husband's age = (10y + x) years.
Therefore \((10y + x)- (10X + y) = (1/11) (10y + x + 10x + y)\)
\(\Rightarrow\) (9y-9x) = (1/11)(11y + 11x) = (x + y)
\(\Rightarrow\) \(10x = 8y\)
\(\Rightarrow\) \( x = (4/5)y\)
Clearly, y should be a single-digit multiple of 5, which is 5.
So, x = 4, y = 5.
Hence, woman's age = 10x + y = 45 years

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The most suitable title is Sleep and Education: Intimate Enemies.
The passage begins with sleep as a gentle tyrant, but its main point is the relation of sleep and education, which it calls intimate enemies, and it ends by asking for research on education about sleep.
'Sleep: A Gentle Tyrant' covers only the opening idea, and 'Dr. Johnson's Idea on Sleep' is also too narrow. 'Education for Sleep' names only the closing suggestion.

One should not sit IDLE.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Lazy is the synonym of IDLE in this sentence.
To sit idle is to sit doing nothing, avoiding work or activity. Of the four choices, lazy, meaning unwilling to work or be active, is the closest in sense.
The other three are opposites. Active means busy doing things, functional means working or in operation (a functional machine is the opposite of an idle one), and busy means fully occupied. The advice not to sit idle is advice not to be lazy.

Which sentence should come third in the paragraph?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: 2
Third in the rearranged paragraph is sentence 2.
The paragraph runs 5 – 4 – 2 – 6 – 1 – 3:
- 5 is the topic sentence - the bank has done good, but is now under fire.
- 4 introduces the first complaint, about profitability.
- 2 spells that complaint out.
- 6 adds the second charge with also - involuntary resettlement.
- 1 illustrates it: a case in point is the Sardar Sarovar Dam.
- 3 closes with the concession, for all its faults.
A case in point in 1 must follow the charge it illustrates, and only 5 introduces the bank, so nothing else can open the paragraph.

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 teacher made him to write the answer again.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: made him write
After make in the active voice, the verb that follows takes the bare infinitive - no to. Hence made him write. The verbs that behave this way are worth learning as a group: make, let, bid, see, hear, watch, feel and help, along with the modal auxiliaries. So let him go, I saw her leave, he helped me carry it. The curious exception is that make takes the full infinitive in the passive: he was made to write the answer again. The to reappears when the sentence is turned round, which is why both forms are heard and confused. Made him writing fails because a gerund cannot follow make in this construction, and made he write fails because the pronoun is the object of made and must be objective.
Is there any good show _______ television tonight?
Select the most appropriate option to complete the above sentence.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The answer is on: 'Is there any good show on television tonight?'
English uses on for a broadcast medium: on television, on the radio, on TV. The preposition describes the channel through which the programme reaches you, not a physical position.
In television refers to working in the industry ('she works in television'), not to a programme being broadcast. At marks a point or place and does not combine with television here. Within means inside a boundary and makes no sense with a broadcast.
Computer Awareness [ Question No: 10 To 11 ] :
What is extension of Gnu zipped file ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: .gz
.gz marks a file compressed with gzip, the GNU compression program. A tarball compressed this way is commonly .tar.gz, since tar bundles the files and gzip compresses the bundle.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Delete the selected item permanently without placing the item in the Recycle Bin
Delete alone moves an item to the Recycle Bin, from which it can be restored. Adding Shift bypasses the bin, so the item cannot be recovered.
General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 12 To 18 ] :
Which among the following has specialised tissue for conduction of water?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Pteridophyta have specialised conducting tissue for water.
Ferns and their relatives are the simplest plants with true xylem and phloem, which is why they are called the first vascular plants. Thallophytes and bryophytes have no such tissue and so must stay small and close to moisture; fungi are not plants at all.
