Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow the passage. Your answer should be based on the passage only.
Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgement, and disposition of business. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgement wholly by their rules, is the humour of a scholar. Crafty men condemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation.

The contacts between India and the western world which Chandragupta Maurya had established continued during the reign of his son, Bindusara. Ambassadors came to the court at Pataliputra from Ptolemy of Egypt and Antiochus, the son and successor of Seleucus Nicator of Western Asia. Ashoka, grandson of Chandragupta, added to these contacts, and India became in his time an important international centre, chiefly because of the rapid spread of Buddhism.
Ashoka succeeded to this great empire in about 273 BC. He had previously served as Viceroy in the North-Western province of which Taxila, the university centre, was the capital. Already the empire included the greater part of India and extended right into Central Asia. Only the South-East and a part of the South were beyond its sway. The old dream of uniting the whole of India under one supreme government fired Ashoka and forthwith he undertook the conquest of Kalinga on the east coast, which corresponds roughly with modern Orissa and part of Andhra. His armies triumphed in spite of the brave and obstinate resistance of the people of Kalinga. There was a terrible slaughter in the war, and when news of this reached Ashoka, he was stricken with remorse and disgusted with war. Unique among the victorious monarchs and captains in history, he decided to abandon warfare in the full tide of victory. The whole of India acknowledged his sway, except for the southern tip, and that tip was his for the taking. But he refrained from any further aggression, and his mind turned, under the influence of the Buddha's gospel, to conquests and adventures in other fields.

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 3 ] :
The ratio of ages (in years) of Ajit and Raghav, five years ago, was 3 : 5. After 4 years from now, the ratio of their ages (in years) will be 15 : 22. What will be the age (in years) of Raghav, after 6 years from now?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Raghav will be 46 years old. Let the ages five years ago be 3k and 5k. After 4 years from now (9 years after that date) their ages are 3k + 9 and 5k + 9, in the ratio 15 : 22. \[22(3k + 9) = 15(5k + 9)\] \[66k + 198 = 75k + 135\] \[9k = 63, k = 7\] Raghav's age five years ago was 35, so he is 40 now and 46 after 6 years. Check: Ajit is 26 now, and after 4 years the ages are 30 and 44, a ratio of 15 : 22.
The sum of first three terms of a G.P. is to the sum of first six terms as 125:152. Find the common ratio.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
We have \(\frac{S_3}{S_6} = \frac{125}{152}\). Let the sum formula be \(S_n=a(r^n-1)/(r-1)\). So, \(\frac{a(r^3-1)/(r-1)}{a(r^6-1)/(r-1)} = \frac{r^3-1}{r^6-1} = \frac{r^3-1}{(r^3-1)(r^3+1)} = \frac{1}{r^3+1}\). We have \(\frac{1}{r^3+1} = \frac{125}{152} \Rightarrow r^3+1 = \frac{152}{125} \Rightarrow r^3 = \frac{152}{125} - 1 = \frac{27}{125}\). So \(r = 3/5\).
On what dates of July.2004 did Monday fall?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Let us find the day on 1st July, 2004.
2000 years have 0 odd day. 3 ordinary years have 3 odd days.
Jan. Feb. March April May June July
31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 1
= 183 days = (26 weeks + 1 day) = 1 t .
Total number of odd days = (0 + 3 + 1) odd days = 4 odd days. '
:. 1st July 2004 was 'Thursday',-,-
Thus, 1st Monday in July 2004 _as on 5th July.
Hence, during July 2004, Monday fell on 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th. .

For the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) below, choose the correct alternative.
Assertion (A) : Carbon monoxide when inhaled causes death.
Reason (R) : Carbon monoxide combines with haemoglobin.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Carbon monoxide binds to haemoglobin about 200 times more readily than oxygen does, forming carboxyhaemoglobin, which cannot carry oxygen. The blood is therefore left unable to supply the tissues, which is why the gas is lethal. Both are true and R explains A.
Ram starts from his house and walks 4 km North, then 3 km West, then 8 km south. How many km away from his home was he?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
He is 5 km from home.
Walking 4 km north and then 8 km south leaves him 4 km south of his starting line, and he is 3 km west. The straight-line distance is the hypotenuse:
\[ d = \sqrt{4^{2} + 3^{2}} = \sqrt{25} = 5\ \text{km} \]
7 km adds the two offsets instead of combining them at right angles. 8 km is the last leg alone, and 6 km does not follow from the moves.

Why does the author not recommend too much of studies ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The author does not recommend too much study because it reflects idleness.
The passage states plainly: To spend too much time in studies is sloth. Sloth means laziness or idleness, so the objection to too much study is that it signals idleness, a neglect of action and of the business of life.
Nothing in the passage speaks of cost, so the costly-affair option is unsupported, and health and hygiene are never mentioned. The author also does not say that study promotes contradiction; his other two cautions are that too much use for ornament is affectation and that judging wholly by rules is the humour of a scholar.

Who was the immediate successor of Chandragupta Maurya ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The immediate successor of Chandragupta Maurya was Bindusara.
The passage says the contacts Chandragupta established 'continued during the reign of his son, Bindusara', and then that Ashoka was the grandson of Chandragupta. So the son came next and the grandson after him.
Antiochus and Seleucus were western rulers whose ambassadors and dynasty are mentioned, and Ashoka came after Bindusara.

In the following questions four alternatives are given for the idiom/phrase italicised and underlined in the sentence. Choose the alternative which best expresses the meaning of idiom/phrase.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
It means associates in some action.
Hand in glove means in close and usually improper collaboration, the two fitting each other exactly. Note that the phrase implies complicity, not simple friendship.
Direction for [ Question No: 10 To 10 ] :
In each of the following questions, choose the word opposite in meaning to the given word.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : E
The opposite is strident.
Euphonious means pleasing in sound, from the Greek for good voice. Sweet-sounding and melodious are synonyms; strident is harsh.
Convert the reported speech and mark your answer in the response sheet.
She said, "I met him yesterday".
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The reported speech is She said that she had met him the previous day.
When the reporting verb is in the past (said), the tense shifts back one step: the simple past met becomes the past perfect had met. The pronoun I becomes she, and the time word yesterday becomes the previous day (or the day before).
She said she met him yesterday keeps both the tense and the time word unchanged. She said she has met him yesterday uses the present perfect, which cannot go with yesterday. She said that she met him the previous day changes the time word but not the tense, so it is only half converted.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: real numbers
Division rarely gives a whole result, so the variable must be able to hold a fractional part. The real type does; the integer type would silently discard the remainder.
Which of the following is the default page setup orientation of slide in PowerPoint
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: Landscape
PowerPoint slides default to landscape - wider than they are tall (10 × 7.5 inches on the classic 4:3 setting) - because that matches the shape of a projector screen. Portrait is available under File → Page Setup but must be chosen deliberately.
For a company’s business the term that involves the use of electronic platforms like intranets, extranets and internet is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: E-business
E-business is the broadest of the four: it covers every use of electronic platforms in running a business, internal as well as external. E-commerce is the narrower activity of buying and selling, and e-marketing and e-procurement are narrower still.
