You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.
Give answer:
- (A) If only conclusion I follows
- (B) If only conclusion II follows
- (C) If either I or II follows
- (D) If neither I nor II follows and
- (E) If both I and II follow.
Statements: Today out of the world population of several thousand million, the majority of men have to live under governments which refuse them personal liberty and the right to dissent.
Conclusions:
1. People are indifferent to personal liberty and the right to dissent.
2. People desire personal liberty and the right to dissent.
Direction for [ Question No: 2 To 2 ] :
Each question given below consists of a statement, followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a 'strong' argument and which is a 'weak' argument. Give answer: (A) If only argument I is strong (B) If only argument II is strong (C) If either I or II is strong (D) If neither I nor II is strong (E) If both I and II are strong.
Statement: Should there be uniforms for students in the colleges in India as in the schools?
Arguments:
1. Yes, this will improve the ambience of the colleges as all the students will be decently dressed.
2. No. The college students should not be regimented and they should be left to choose their clothes for coming to the college.

2. People desire personal liberty and the right to dissent.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
It is mentioned in the statement that most people are forced to live under Governments which refuse them personal liberty and the right to dissent. This means that they are not indifferent to these rights but have a desire for them. So, only II follows.
Direction for [ Question No: 2 To 2 ] :

Statement: Should there be uniforms for students in the colleges in India as in the schools?
Arguments:
1. Yes, this will improve the ambience of the colleges as all the students will be decently dressed.
2. No. The college students should not be regimented and they should be left to choose their clothes for coming to the college.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Clearly, after being in strict discipline and following a formal dress code of the school for so many years, the students must be granted some liberty in college life, as they have to take on the responsibilities of life, next. Besides, schools adopt uniforms to take care of the security of the child - an aspect which doesn't matter much in the colleges. So, argument II holds strong. Also, the environment of the college depends on the students' dedication and etiquettes and not on their uniforms. So, argument I is vague.
If \(1^{2} + 2^{2} + 2^{2} = 3^{2}\)
\(2^{2} + 3^{2} + 6^{2} = 7^{2}\)
\(3^{2} + 4^{2} + 12^{2} = 13^{2}\)
then \(6^{2} + 7^{2} + 42^{2} = ?\)
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The answer is \(43^{2}\).
In each line the three numbers are \(n\), \(n + 1\) and their product \(n(n + 1)\), and the right-hand side is the square of (product + 1):
\[ \begin{aligned} 1, 2, 2 &\to 2 + 1 = 3 \\ 2, 3, 6 &\to 6 + 1 = 7 \\ 3, 4, 12 &\to 12 + 1 = 13 \\ 6, 7, 42 &\to 42 + 1 = 43 \end{aligned} \]
Check: 36 + 49 + 1764 = 1849 = \(43^{2}\). \(42^{2}\) forgets the +1, and \(45^{2}\) and \(49^{2}\) do not fit the identity.
Select the alpha-numeric term from the given options than can replace the question mark (?) and complete the series. B-113, F-125, J-142, N-164, R-191, ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The letters go B, F, J, N, R, which move four places each time, so the next letter is V. The numbers 113, 125, 142, 164 and 191 differ by 12, 17, 22 and 27, which rise by 5 each time, so the next difference is 32 and the next number is 191 + 32 = 223. The missing term is therefore V-223, option (A). The options beginning with U break the four-place step in the letters, and V-221 does not follow the number pattern, since it would need a difference of 30.
The terms shown are enough to fix the rule and so the term that follows. Work out the rule and supply the missing number.
6, 30, 150, 750, ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: 3750
The terms are multiplied rather than added to. Dividing each by its predecessor gives the same result throughout: 30 over 6 is 5, and 150 over 30 is 5, so the ratio is 5. Multiplying the last term, 750 times 5 is 3750. As a check, dividing the answer by 5 returns 750, which is the last term shown. When the terms are multiplied by a whole number the units digits often repeat in a short cycle, which gives a quick sanity check on the answer.
The symbols below come in matched pairs. Supply the one that closes the pair now open.
(, ), [, ], {, ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: }
The series steps through the bracket pairs in the order they appear on the keyboard, giving each opening bracket followed by its closing partner: round, then square, then curly. The curly pair has been opened but not closed, so the next symbol is }. Recognising that the terms come in pairs is the whole of the problem; the individual symbols carry no arithmetic. There are only three bracket pairs in common use, so a series of this kind can run for at most six terms before it must repeat or stop.
In a certain code language, '÷' represents '+', '-' represents 'x', '+' represents '÷' and 'x' represents '-'. Find out the answer to the followingquestion. 8 ÷ 14 - 20 + 5 x 2 = ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: 62
Replacing the symbols gives \( 8 + 14 \times 20 \div 5 - 2 \). Multiplication and division first: \[ 8 + 56 - 2 = \mathbf{62} \]
Which one of the following is always in 'Sentiment'?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Emotion
Sentiment is feeling, so emotion is what it consists of. Insight is understanding, neutrality is the absence of feeling - the opposite - and cruelty is one particular emotion among many.
General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 9 To 20 ] :
Kalibangan, an ancient site of the Indus Valley Civilization, is located in which district of Rajasthan?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Kalibangan is in Hanumangarh district.
Kalibangan lies on the left bank of the Ghaggar river in Hanumangarh district of northern Rajasthan. Excavations there revealed a ploughed field of the early Harappan phase, fire altars and a fortified citadel; the name means 'black bangles', after the fragments found at the site.
Sriganganagar is the neighbouring district, which makes it a close distractor, while Sikar and Jaipur are far from the Ghaggar valley.
Who became the Rajpramukh of present Rajasthan on 30th March, 1949 ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The Rajpramukh was Maharaja Sawai Man Singh.
On 30 March 1949, now observed as Rajasthan Day, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner and Jaisalmer joined the United State of Rajasthan to form Greater Rajasthan. Sawai Man Singh II of Jaipur became its Rajpramukh, Maharana Bhupal Singh of Udaipur was made Maharajpramukh, and Jaipur became the capital.
Gurmukh Nihal Singh was the first Governor of Rajasthan, appointed in 1956 when the office of Rajpramukh was abolished under the States Reorganisation Act. Udai Singh and Bahadur Singh did not hold the office.
Which of the following features of the Constitution of India is/are justiciable?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The justiciable feature is the Fundamental Rights.
Fundamental Rights (Part III) are enforceable by the courts: Article 32 lets a person move the Supreme Court directly, and Article 226 the High Courts, for their enforcement.
The Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV) are expressly non-justiciable under Article 37, though fundamental to governance. The Fundamental Duties (Article 51A) are likewise not directly enforceable in court. So 'All of these' is wrong.
Which of the following dance forms were recognized as 'classical' forms of dance after India's Independence?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The six forms are Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kathakali, Odissi, Kuchipudi and Manipuri.
The NCERT history textbook for Class VII, in its chapter on regional cultures, lists these six as the forms recognised as 'classical' after Independence. (The Sangeet Natak Akademi has since added others, such as Sattriya and Mohiniyattam, but none of the options includes them.)
The other options each contain a folk dance. Bihu is the folk dance of Assam, and Bhangra is the folk dance of Punjab. Neither was ever classed as a classical form, so every list containing one of them is wrong.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Force and pressure do not share dimensions.
Force is \(\mathrm{MLT^{-2}}\) and pressure, being force per unit area, is \(\mathrm{ML^{-1}T^{-2}}\). The other pairs do match: work and energy, impulse and momentum, and weight, which is simply a force.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Temperature cannot be expressed in terms of any of them.
It is one of the seven base quantities of the SI system, alongside length, mass, time, current, amount of substance and luminous intensity. A base quantity is by definition independent of the others and cannot be derived from them.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
It is Hind Swaraj.
Gandhi wrote it in 1909 as a dialogue between an editor and a reader, and it contains his critique of industrial civilisation and his argument that means and ends cannot be separated. He never withdrew anything in it except one word.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
