Study the following passage carefully and answer the questions.
Indian granite industry is in peril in the absence of a uniform policy from the State Governments, despite the
thrust given by liberalisation policies of the Union Government in the last two years. Compared to the remark-
-able progress in the field during the last three years, the absence of matching policies by State Governments
had put granite quarry owners and others involved in the industry on the verge of collapse in the international
market. The policies differed from state to state, had created problems as far as loyalty, dead rent and duration
of lease were concerned.
The Union Governments liberalisation policy became applicable to granite industry only during the last two years.

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 4 ] :
A tower is 100√3 metres high. Find the angle of elevation of its top from a point 100 metres away from its foot.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The tower is opposite the angle of elevation and the 100 m is the adjacent side, so the tangent gives the angle directly.
\[ \tan\theta = \frac{100\sqrt{3}}{100} = \sqrt{3} \]
\[ \theta = 60^{\circ} \]
The three standard tangents are worth knowing by sight: \( \tan 30^{\circ} = \tfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \), \( \tan 45^{\circ} = 1 \) and \( \tan 60^{\circ} = \sqrt{3} \). Since the tower is taller than the distance, the angle must exceed \( 45^{\circ} \).
A bank has 6 digit account number with no repetition of digits within a account number. The first and last digit of the account numbers is fixed to be 4 and 7. How many such account numbers are possible?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The first and last digits are fixed at 4 and 7, so only the four middle positions are free - and they must avoid 4 and 7, leaving eight digits.
\[ 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 = 1680 \]
Repetition is forbidden, so each position has one fewer choice than the last.
The difference between compound and simple interest on a certain sum of money for 3 years at 6 2/3% p.a is Rs.184. Find the sum?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The rate \( 6\tfrac{2}{3}\% \) is \( \tfrac{1}{15} \), so the yearly factor is \( \tfrac{16}{15} \). Over three years:
\[ \text{CI} - \text{SI} = P\left[\left(\frac{16}{15}\right)^{3} - 1 - \frac{3}{15}\right] \]
\[ \left(\frac{16}{15}\right)^{3} = \frac{4096}{3375} = 1.213629 \]
\[ 1.213629 - 1.2 = 0.013629 \]
\[ P = \frac{184}{0.013629} = \text{Rs. } 13{,}500 \]
Turning the awkward percentage into the fraction \( \tfrac{1}{15} \) first keeps the cube exact and avoids rounding drift.
Guddi’s swimming speed in still water to the speed of river is 7:1. She swims 4.2 km up the river in just 14 min. How much time will Guddi take to swim 18.4 km down the river?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Write \( b \) for the boat's speed in still water and \( r \) for the stream's. Then
\[ \text{downstream} = b + r, \qquad \text{upstream} = b - r \]
Put \( b = 7k \) and \( r = k \), so
\[ b - r = 6k, \qquad b + r = 8k \]
From the upstream trip, with 14 min = \( \tfrac{7}{30} \) h:
\[ 6k = \frac{4.2}{7/30} = 18 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad k = 3 \]
\[ b + r = 8 \times 3 = 24 \text{ km/h} \]
\[ t = \frac{18.4}{24} = \frac{23}{30} \text{ h} = 46 \text{ minutes} \]
Setting the ratio up with a single unknown \( k \) is what turns two unknowns into one.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Definitely true
The passage refers to the thrust given by the liberalisation policies of the Union Government in the last two years. That dates the Union Government’s impetus to the granite industry to those two years, which is exactly what the statement asserts. The contrast the passage draws - the Centre’s thrust against the states’ inaction - depends on that timing.
A hotel always has
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Accommodation for guests
The question asks what is always present, not what usually is. A hotel provides accommodation for travellers, so lodging is what makes it one. A swimming pool is a luxury of larger establishments. A restaurant is common but not universal, and a bed-and-breakfast or a small lodging house may serve no meals beyond breakfast - or none at all. A lift depends on the number of storeys, and a single-storey hotel needs none.
General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 7 To 19 ] :
Which of the following is also known as the South Indian temple style?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Dravidian architecture is the style of the South Indian temples, with pyramidal vimana towers and, in later centuries, tall gopuram gateways, as at Thanjavur and Madurai. Buddhist architecture refers to stupas, viharas and chaityas, Mauryan architecture to pillars and the early palace and stupa tradition, and Mughal architecture to tombs, forts and mosques. In the Dravidian temple style the sanctum is topped by a pyramid-shaped tower, the vimana, and the temple compound has a large gateway tower called the gopuram. Examples include the Brihadisvara temple at Thanjavur and the Meenakshi temple at Madurai.

Displacement is the shortest distance covered in a definite direction.
It is the straight-line vector from start to finish, so it has both magnitude and direction, and can be zero even after a long journey if the body returns to where it began. Distance is the scalar length of the actual path and can only increase.

Under the anti-defection law, the question of a member’s disqualification is decided by
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: The presiding officer of the House
Under the Tenth Schedule, the question of disqualification on the ground of defection is referred to the Speaker or Chairman of the House concerned, whose decision is final. The Schedule originally made that decision immune from judicial review, but the Supreme Court struck the immunity down in Kihoto Hollohan in 1992, holding that the presiding officer acts as a tribunal in this capacity and that the decision is therefore reviewable, though only after it has been made. The arrangement has been widely criticised, since the presiding officer usually belongs to the ruling party and there is no time limit for deciding. Delay has repeatedly allowed defectors to serve out a term unresolved, and in 2020 the Supreme Court suggested that Parliament consider transferring the power to an independent tribunal. A member is disqualified for voluntarily giving up party membership or for voting against the whip without permission. The only defence is a merger supported by two thirds of the party’s legislators; the split exemption was removed in 2003.
Current Affairs [ Question No: 20 To 20 ] :
What was the theme of G-20 India Summit-2023 ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The key's answer is None of these.
The theme of India's G20 presidency and the New Delhi Summit of 2023 was Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, 'One Earth, One Family, One Future', from the Sanskrit phrase meaning 'the world is one family'.
Option B prints 'Vasundhara Kutumbakam', which is not the theme (vasundhara means the earth, while the phrase is vasudhaiva), and option C, 'One World one Future', misquotes the English motto. 'Clean Energy for a Green Future' is not the theme either. As no option states the theme correctly, 'None of these' is the answer the key accepts.
