Between my finger and my thumb
The squat pen rests: snug as a gun.
Under my window, a clean rasping sound
When the spade sings into gravelly ground.
My father, digging, I look down
Till his straining rump among the flowerbeds
Bends low, comes up twenty years away
Stooping in rhythm through potato drills,
Where he was digging
The coarse boot nestled on the lug, the shaft
Against the inside knee was levered firmly.
He rooted out tall tops, buried the bright edge deep.
To scatter new potatoes that we picked,
Loving their cool hardness in our hands.

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 6 ] :
If a prime number on division by 4 gives a remainder of 1, then that number can be expressed as
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Such a prime can be expressed as a sum of squares of two natural numbers.
This is Fermat's theorem on sums of two squares: an odd prime p can be written as \(a^{2} + b^{2}\) exactly when \(p \equiv 1 \pmod 4\). For example \(5 = 1^{2} + 2^{2}\), \(13 = 2^{2} + 3^{2}\), \(17 = 1^{2} + 4^{2}\), \(29 = 2^{2} + 5^{2}\).
Sums of cubes fail at once: 5 and 13 are not sums of two positive cubes (1, 8, 27 ...). Sums of square roots or cube roots of natural numbers are generally irrational and have no link with the remainder on division by 4.
A man sold two articles for ₹ 850 each. On one article, he earns a profit of 25% and on the other article, he suffers a loss of 15%. What is his overall profit ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
His overall profit is ₹ 20.
Find each cost price from the selling price of ₹ 850:
\[ \begin{aligned} CP_{1} &= \frac{850}{1.25} = 680 \\ CP_{2} &= \frac{850}{0.85} = 1000 \end{aligned} \]
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{Total CP} &= 680 + 1000 = 1680 \\ \text{Total SP} &= 2 \times 850 = 1700 \\ \text{Profit} &= 1700 - 1680 = 20 \end{aligned} \]
The trap is to take 25% and 15% of the same amount and conclude a 10% gain. The percentages apply to different cost prices, so the profit of ₹ 170 on the first article is almost cancelled by the loss of ₹ 150 on the second.
What is the largest number that divides 190, 251 and 373 leaving the same remainder in each case?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: 61
When a divisor leaves the same remainder for several numbers, it must divide exactly the differences between them - because the equal remainders cancel on subtraction. The differences are \[ 251 - 190 = 61, \qquad 373 - 251 = 122, \qquad 373 - 190 = 183. \] The required number is the HCF of these: 61 divides 122 and 183 exactly, so \[ \text{HCF}(61, 122, 183) = 61. \] Checking, each of 190, 251 and 373 leaves a remainder of 7 on division by 61. The technique is general and worth remembering in both directions. Where the remainders are equal but unknown, take the HCF of the differences. Where the remainders are given and different, subtract each remainder from its number first and then take the HCF of the results. Taking the HCF of the original numbers rather than the differences is the usual error.
A can do 1/3 of a work in 5 days and B can do 2/5 of the work in 10 days. In how many days both A and B together can do the work?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
A can do the full work in \(5 \times 3 = 15\) days. B can do the full work in \(10 \times 5/2 = 25\) days. A's 1 day work = 1/15. B's 1 day work = 1/25. Together, their 1 day work = \(1/15 + 1/25 = (5+3)/75 = 8/75\). They will take 75/8 = 9 3/8 days.
Insert the missing number 16, 33, 65, 131, 261, (....)
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Each term is roughly double the previous, with the correction alternating between \( +1 \) and \( -1 \).
\[ 16 \times 2 + 1 = 33 \]
\[ 33 \times 2 - 1 = 65 \]
\[ 65 \times 2 + 1 = 131 \]
\[ 131 \times 2 - 1 = 261 \]
\[ 261 \times 2 + 1 = \mathbf{523} \]
Doubling alone would give 522, so the alternating sign is what separates 523 from the 521 on offer.
If two dice are thrown together, the probability of getting an even number on one die and an odd number on the other is -.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
There are two ways this can happen: even on the first and odd on the second, or the other way round.
\[ P = \frac{3}{6} \times \frac{3}{6} + \frac{3}{6} \times \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \]
Counting only one arrangement gives \( \tfrac{1}{4} \) - the first option - but the question does not say which die shows which.

Six friends P, Q, R, S, T and U are sitting around the hexagonal table each at one corner and are facing the centre of the hexagonal. P is second to the left of U. Q is neighbour of R and S. T is second to the left of S.
Which of the following are the neighbours of S ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: Q and U
Going clockwise the six sit as P, R, Q, S, U, T. This satisfies every condition: P is second to the left of U, Q sits between R and S, and T is second to the left of S.
S is flanked by Q on one side and U on the other, which is also what makes Q a neighbour of both R and S as the conditions require.

What comes in place of question mark?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The missing square is number 2: double arrow at the top, PP on the left, C on the right and S at the bottom.
Count each symbol in the squares. Figure 1 has S, C, P and one arrow, each once. Figure 2 has P doubled (PP). Figure 4 has the arrow doubled and C doubled. Figure 5 has S doubled. Each step adds one repeat to one symbol, in the order P, arrow, C, S, so figure 3 has PP and a double arrow, with a single C and S.
Positions turn 90 degrees clockwise at every step: in figure 1 the order from the top is S, P, arrow, C, and in figure 2 it is C, S, PP, arrow. Rotating figure 2 once more puts the double arrow at the top, then C on the right, S at the bottom and PP on the left. Check: turning this once more gives figure 4, which has PP at the top and the arrows on the right, as printed.
Option 1 has the symbols in the wrong places; option 3 has CC; option 4 has C and S swapped.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
In the second stanza the poet is observing his father digging potatoes.
The second stanza (the indented lines, from 'My father, digging, I look down') has the speaker looking down at his father, whose back bends low 'among the flowerbeds' and who comes 'up twenty years away / Stooping in rhythm through potato drills'. He is watching one man, his father, digging.
'Potato growers in the countryside' and 'farmers in the fields' make it a group of people in a field, but the poem has one man, seen from a window ('Under my window'). 'A gardener tending flower beds' picks up the word flowerbeds, but the flowerbeds are only where he is bending; what he is doing is digging potato drills.

(A) One evidence of this is that many highly intelligent people are very low on creativity.
(B) In other words they may find replicating a process very easy but creating a process difficult.
(C) But it is unfortunate that in many organisations these replicates are rated high and promoted over creators.
(D) Intelligence and creativity are two different things.
(E) They may understand the things very fast but are poor if any new thing is to be developed; this in long term gives creators an upper edge.
Which of the following will be the FIFTH sentence?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : E
Correct answer: E
The FIFTH sentence of the rearranged paragraph is E.
Correct sequence: D – A – B – C – E
How the paragraph builds:
- D states the thesis: intelligence and creativity are two different things.
- A offers the evidence - one evidence of this points back to that thesis.
- B restates the evidence: in other words, replicating is easy, creating is hard.
- C raises the complaint: these replicates are rated high and promoted over creators.
- E answers the complaint - creators may be slow at absorbing, but in the long term they hold the upper edge.
These replicates in C needs B before it, and E’s closing clause about creators gaining the upper edge reads as the reply to C’s unfairness.

One of the parts (A, B, C, D) in the sentence given below contains an ERROR. Which one of the following is INCORRECT?
I requested that he should be given the driving test today instead of tomorrow.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The error is in should be given.
After a verb of requesting, demanding or suggesting, formal English uses the subjunctive: the bare form of the verb with no auxiliary. The correct sentence is 'I requested that he be given the driving test today instead of tomorrow.' Adding 'should' makes the clause redundant, since the request already expresses the obligation.
'Requested that' is the correct way to introduce the clause. 'The driving test' is a correct noun phrase. 'Instead of tomorrow' correctly sets the alternative against 'today'.

In MS Word, what is the maximum number of columns a page can be divided into using the Columns command?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: Thirteen on A4 in portrait
The Columns command offers presets for one, two and three columns plus Left and Right, and the More Columns dialogue allows a number to be typed. The maximum is limited by page width rather than by a fixed figure: each column must be at least half an inch wide, which on A4 in portrait works out at about thirteen. A landscape page allows more. Column layout is a section property, so a two-column block inside a one-column document requires Continuous section breaks above and below it. Selecting the text before applying columns inserts them automatically. Text flows down the first column and then to the top of the next. A column break, Ctrl + Shift + Enter, forces the flow to the next column early. The dialogue also controls the spacing between columns and whether a vertical line is drawn between them.
Where would you load the mouse driver mouse.sys?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: config.sys
A driver ending in .SYS is loaded by a DEVICE= line in CONFIG.SYS, which DOS reads early in the boot before the command interpreter starts. The .COM form of the same driver would instead be run from AUTOEXEC.BAT.
