Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 5 ] :
The value of \(25.3 \times 5 - 35 \div 5 - 3 \times 18.5\) is :
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The value is 64.0.
By the order of operations, carry out multiplication and division first, then subtraction from left to right:
\[ \begin{aligned} 25.3 \times 5 &= 126.5 \\ 35 \div 5 &= 7 \\ 3 \times 18.5 &= 55.5 \\ 126.5 - 7 - 55.5 &= 64.0 \end{aligned} \]
Working strictly from left to right, ignoring the order of operations, gives 283.05 (126.5, then 91.5, 18.3, 15.3 and finally 15.3 × 18.5), which is the trap in option 1.
Marked price of an article is Rs. 2500 and its selling price is Rs. 2200. What is the discount percentage?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The discount is the marked price less the selling price, Rs. 2500 - Rs. 2200 = Rs. 300. The discount percentage is always worked on the marked price, not on the selling price, so it is 300 / 2500 x 100 = 12 percent. As a check, 12 percent of Rs. 2500 is Rs. 300, and Rs. 2500 less Rs. 300 gives the selling price of Rs. 2200. So the answer is 12 percent, option (A). The values 15, 10 and 20 percent do not equal 300 divided by 2500; 15 percent would give a discount of Rs. 375.
What amount does Kiran get if he invests Rs.8000 at 10% p.a. compound interest for two years, compounding done annually?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
\[ A = P\left(1 + \frac{R}{100}\right)^{n}, \qquad \text{CI} = A - P, \qquad \text{SI} = \frac{PRn}{100} \]
\[ A = 8000 \times (1.1)^{2} = 8000 \times 1.21 = \text{Rs. } 9680 \]
The interest is Rs. 1680, of which Rs. 1600 is simple interest and Rs. 80 is the second year's 10% on the first year's Rs. 800.
How long does a train 110 m long running at the speed of 72 km/hr takes to cross a bridge 132 m length?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
\[ 1 \text{ km/hr} = \frac{5}{18} \text{ m/s} \]
\[ 72 \text{ km/hr} = 20 \text{ m/s} \]
\[ t = \frac{110 + 132}{20} = \frac{242}{20} = 12.1 \text{ seconds} \]
Both the train and the bridge must be cleared, so their lengths add.
A, B and C start at the same time in the same direction to run around a circular stadium. A completes a round in 252 seconds, B in 308 seconds and c in 198 seconds, all starting at the same point. After what time will they again at the starting point ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
L.C.M. of \(252, 308\) and \(198 = 2772\)
So, \(A, B\) and \(C\) will again meet at the starting point in \(2772\) seconds.
i.e. \(46\) minutes \(12\) seconds.
Reasoning [ Question No: 6 To 7 ] :
An ant walks in a straight line on a plane leaving behind a trace of its movement. The initial position of the ant is at point P facing east.
The ant first turns 72º anticlockwise at P, and then does the following two steps in sequence exactly FIVE times before halting.
1. moves forward for 10 cm.
2. turns 144º clockwise.
[Figure: a compass with North up and East to the right.]
The pattern made by the trace left behind by the ant is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The trace is the five-pointed star (C).
After the first 72° turn the ant repeats 'forward 10 cm, turn 144° clockwise' five times. Turning by 144° each time means the heading changes by \(5 \times 144 = 720^{\circ}\) in total, two full turns, so the path closes after five equal segments while winding twice around its centre. A closed path of five equal segments that winds twice is a regular star pentagon (pentagram).
A regular pentagon needs turns of 72° (one full turn over five sides), and a hexagon needs six sides with 60° turns. The seven-pointed star has seven segments, but the ant makes only five moves. So only (C) fits.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Certainty
The sentence asks whether the outlook is merely hoped for or assured, and hope or a certainty is that contrast. Hope would repeat the first half, and expectation sits between the two rather than opposing hope.

General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 12 To 20 ] :
Which one of the following is not correctly matched?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The pair that is not correctly matched is Sahariya-Khamb swang.
Khamb swang is the dance-drama of the Korku tribe of the Satpura region, performed around a pole (khamb) in the rainy season. It is a Korku tradition, not a Sahariya one; the Sahariya live mainly in the Gwalior-Chambal region in the north of the State.
The key accepts the other three pairs, among them the well-known link between the Bhils and Pithora, the ritual wall painting of the Bhil and Bhilala households of western Madhya Pradesh.
The type of mirror used in the vehicles as rear-view mirrors
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Rear-view mirrors in vehicles are convex.
A convex mirror always forms an upright, smaller (diminished) virtual image, so it shows a much wider field of view than a plane mirror of the same size. That lets the driver see more of the traffic behind, which is why such mirrors carry the warning that objects are closer than they appear.
Concave mirrors magnify nearby objects and are used for shaving mirrors and headlight reflectors. Plane mirrors give a true-size view but a narrow field.
Which of the following acids is found in ant's sting ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
An ant's sting contains formic acid.
When an ant stings, it injects formic acid (methanoic acid), which causes pain and irritation. Its name comes from the Latin formica, ant. Rubbing a mild base such as baking soda on the sting neutralises the acid and gives relief.
Ascorbic acid is vitamin C, found in citrus fruits. Oxalic acid occurs in tomatoes and spinach. Acetic acid is the acid of vinegar.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Sound above 120 decibels damages hearing at once.
That is the threshold of pain, comparable to a jet engine at close range. Prolonged exposure above 85 dB damages hearing more slowly, which is why 85 dB is the usual occupational limit.

Correct Answer : C
Granite is composed mainly of silica and alumina - that is, of quartz and feldspar, with mica in smaller amounts.
It is a coarse-grained igneous rock, crystallised slowly at depth, and its silica-rich composition is why it is classed as an acid igneous rock.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)

It is a novel.
David Copperfield, published in 1850, was the most autobiographical of Dickens's novels and his own favourite, as he says in the preface. A twentieth-century stage magician later took the name.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Devaluation is a reduction in the value of a currency against major international currencies.
It is a deliberate act by the authorities under a fixed or managed exchange rate, and it makes exports cheaper abroad and imports dearer at home. India devalued in 1949, 1966 and 1991. A market-driven fall is called depreciation, not devaluation.
