The following bar chart shows the sales of books (in thousands) from six branches of a publishing company during two consecutive years 2018 and 2019. Study the chart and answer the questions that follow.
What is the ratio of the total sales of branch B2 for both years to the total sales of branch B4 for both years?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Total sales of branch B2 for both years = 75 + 65 = 140 thousand.
Total sales of branch B4 for both years = 85 + 95 = 180 thousand.
The required ratio is 140 : 180.
Dividing both by 20, we get the simplified ratio 7 : 9.
The difference of two numbers is 1365. On dividing the larger number by the smaller, we get 6 as quotient and 15 as remainder. What is the smaller number?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Let the larger number be L and the smaller number be S.
Given: L - S = 1365 (Eq. 1)
From the division algorithm, L = 6S + 15 (Eq. 2)
Substitute L from Eq. 2 into Eq. 1:
(6S + 15) - S = 1365
5S + 15 = 1365
5S = 1350
S = \(1350 \div 5 = 270\).
The smaller number is 270.
The present worth of Rs.1404 due in two equal half-yearly instalments at 8% per annum. Simple interest is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The Rs. 1404 comes as two equal installments of Rs. 702, one due in 6 months and one in 12, so each is discounted for its own period.
\[ \text{PW}_{1} = \frac{702}{1 + \dfrac{8 \times 0.5}{100}} = \frac{702}{1.04} = \text{Rs. } 675 \]
\[ \text{PW}_{2} = \frac{702}{1 + \dfrac{8 \times 1}{100}} = \frac{702}{1.08} = \text{Rs. } 650 \]
\[ \text{present worth} = 675 + 650 = \text{Rs. } 1325 \]
Discounting the full Rs. 1404 for an averaged 9 months gives Rs. 1324.5 - close, but not equal, because discounting is not linear in time.
A trader mixes \(26 kg\) of rice at \(Rs. 20\) per kg with \(30 kg\) of rice of other variety at \(Rs. 36\) per kg and sells the mixture at \(Rs. 30\) per kg. His profit percent is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Cost Price of \(56 kg\) rice \(= Rs. (26 \times 20 + 30 \times 36) = Rs. (520 + 1080) = Rs. 1600.\)
Selling Price of \(56kg\) rice \(= Rs. (56 \times 30) = Rs. 1680.\)
\(\therefore\) Gain \(= (\frac{80}{1600} \times 100)\) % \(= 5\) %.
\((0.04)^{-1.5}\) = ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
\((0.04)^{-1.5} = (\frac{4}{100})^{-1.5} \)
\(= (\frac{1}{25})^{-\frac{3}{2}} \)
\(= (25)^{\frac{3}{2}} \)
\(= (5^{2})^{\frac{3}{2}} \)
\(= (5)^{2\times \frac{3}{2}} \)
\(= 5^{3} = 125\)

Eight friends-A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H-are sitting around a circular table not necessarily in the same order. Three of them are facing outward while five are facing towards the centre. There are equal number of males and females in the group.
C is facing the centre. E is sitting third to the right of C.
F is sitting third to the left of E. Three persons are sitting between F and B. The immediate neighbours of B are females. G is sitting third to the right of F. D is sitting third to the right of A. A is not an immediate neighbour of E. The immediate neighbours of E are males and are facing the centre. The immediate neighbours of D are females and face outside. The one sitting third to the left of B is a male. No female is an immediate neighbour of G.
Which of the following statements is true regarding H?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: The one who is second to the right of H is a female.
Five face the centre and three face outward, so “left” and “right” must be read from each person’s own seat: for someone facing the centre the left is clockwise, for someone facing outward it is anticlockwise.
C faces the centre, which fixes E three seats away; F three to E’s left only works if E faces outward, and B is then four seats from F, opposite. Since E’s neighbours face the centre and D’s face outward, D can only sit where one of his neighbours is E - and A three to D’s right then falls into a single seat. The sex constraints do the rest: B’s neighbours are female, E’s are male, and G may have no female beside him.
Clockwise the table reads C (m, centre) → A (m, outward) → F (f, centre) → H (f, outward) → D (m, centre) → E (f, outward) → B (m, centre) → G (f, centre) - four of each sex, and A, H and E the three facing outward.
H faces outward, so her right is clockwise: two seats that way gives D and then E, who is female - so that statement is true. The others fail: H faces outward, not the centre; H is female, not male; and her neighbours F and D both face the centre.
Direction for [ Question No: 7 To 7 ] :

The program operating must also satisfy the following conditions :
(i). If program P is to be operated on a day, V cannot be operated on that day.

(iii). If R is to be operated on a day, V must be one of the programs to be operated after R.
(iv). The last program to be operated on any day must be either S or U.
Which of the following could be the set of programs to be operated on the first day of a month ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: T, U, R, V, S
Test each option against the four rules. V, Q, R, T, S has V before R when V must come after it. U, Q, S, T, W ends with W, and the last program must be S or U. Q, S, R, V, U contains Q with no T after it. P, R, V, S, U has P and V on the same day. T, U, R, V, S breaks none of them: V follows R, the day ends with S, and neither P nor Q appears.
Four letter-cluster pairs have been given, out of which three are alike in some manner and one is different. Select the one that is different.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Three of the pairs follow the rule 'opposite letters, then swap each pair of letters'. BOLD gives opposite letters Y L O W, and swapping the pairs gives L Y W O, which is LYWO. ABLE gives Z Y O V, and swapping gives Y Z V O, which is YZVO. BAIL gives Y Z R O, and swapping gives Z Y O R, which is ZYOR.
ARMY has the opposite letters Z I N B. Swapping the pairs should give I Z B N, but the option has IZNB, in which the second pair is not swapped. So ARMY : IZNB is the one that is different.
Every term here follows from the one before it, or from its own position. Identify the pattern, then choose the number that belongs at the question mark.
2, 9, 28, 65, ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: 126
The gaps are 7, 19, 37, which follow no constant pattern, so the rule lies in the terms rather than in the steps between them. Each term is the cube of its position plus one: position 1 gives 2 and position 4 gives 65. The next position is 5, which gives 126. As a check, the same rule applied to the earlier positions reproduces 2, 9, 28, 65 exactly, so it accounts for every term shown and not merely the last. Cubes grow quickly and are worth knowing to about six, beyond which the series rarely runs.
General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 10 To 15 ] :

Permafrost is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Ground that remains frozen for at least two consecutive years
Permafrost is ground - soil, sediment or rock - that stays at or below 0°C for at least two consecutive years. It underlies roughly a quarter of the land in the northern hemisphere, across Siberia, northern Canada and Alaska. Above it lies the active layer, which thaws each summer and refreezes each winter; that layer alone supports plant roots, which is one reason tundra vegetation is so shallow. Because the frozen ground beneath is impermeable, meltwater cannot drain away, so the tundra is waterlogged and dotted with lakes despite its low precipitation. Its thawing has two serious consequences. Structurally, buildings, roads and pipelines built on it subside as it softens. And it holds enormous quantities of frozen organic matter which, once thawed, decays and releases carbon dioxide and methane - a feedback that could accelerate warming further. Sea ice is frozen ocean water, an entirely different thing.
Who is the founder of Mahabalipuram ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
It was Narasimhavarman I.
The Pallava king, called Mamalla, gave Mamallapuram its name and had the five rathas and the great relief of Arjuna's penance cut there in the seventh century. His father Mahendravarman I began the rock-cut mandapas.
Air Pollution and Control [ Question No: 16 To 16 ] :
A heavy vehicle's engine derates itself and a warning appears after a long journey.
Which cause fits best?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Modern vehicles derate deliberately to prevent operation without the reduction system's reagent, since the emissions would otherwise rise by a factor of several. A lambda sensor belongs to a petrol engine and has no part here.
Earthquake Engineering [ Question No: 17 To 17 ] :
Cumulative absolute velocity is obtained by integrating the
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: absolute value of acceleration over time
Cumulative absolute velocity integrates the modulus of the acceleration, so every excursion adds to the total regardless of sign and the result grows with both amplitude and duration. It was developed as a damage measure for nuclear plant, where it discriminates far better than peak acceleration between motions that damage equipment and those that merely shake it.
Engineering Graphics [ Question No: 18 To 19 ] :
The number of views drawn should be
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: the minimum that describes the object completely
Two rules apply together: the drawing must be unambiguous, and it must not be cluttered. So the number of views is the smallest that leaves nothing undefined - often two for a simple part, three for most, more only where hidden detail or inclined faces demand them. Extra views cost drawing time and add opportunities for inconsistency.
A reducing scale is used when the object is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: larger than the sheet it must be drawn on
A reducing scale is used when the object will not fit at full size - a building, a machine, a survey. An object too small to draw conveniently at full size calls for an enlarging scale instead, and the two are distinguished by whether the representative fraction is less than or greater than unity.
Fluid Mechanics [ Question No: 20 To 20 ] :
A set of basic dimensions, mass, length, and time are represented by M, L, and T, respectively. What will be the dimensions of pressure in M-L-T system?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Pressure has dimensions \(ML^{-1}T^{-2}\).
Pressure is force per unit area. Force is mass times acceleration, \(MLT^{-2}\), and area is \(L^{2}\):
\[ [p] = \frac{MLT^{-2}}{L^{2}} = ML^{-1}T^{-2} \]
\(MLT^{-2}\) is force itself, \(MLT^{-1}\) is momentum, and \(ML^{-1}T^{-1}\) is dynamic viscosity (Pa s).
