PASSAGE
There is nothing which we receive with so much reluctance as advice. We look upon the man who gives it as offering an affront to our understanding and intelligence, treating us as children or idiots. We consider the instruction as an implicit censure. There is nothing so difficult as the art of making advice agreeable. All the writers both ancient and modern, have distinguished themselves according to their perfection in their art. Great writers made use of different devices to render the bitter potion palatable. Some made use of best chosen words, others, through flash of wit, and still others by using precise expressions like proverbs. The best means, however, is the use of fable. A fable pleases most universally. A fable is not directly related to our everyday world nor does it contain any direct attack.

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 2 ] :
A bus for Shimla leaves every thirty minutes from a bus-stand. An enquiry clerk told a passenger that the bus had already left ten minutes ago and the next bus will leave at 9:35 am. At what time did the enquiry clerk give this information to the passenger ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The clerk gave the information at 9:15 am.
Buses leave every 30 minutes, so the bus before the 9:35 one left at 9:05. The clerk said that bus had left ten minutes earlier:
\[ 9{:}05 + 10 \text{ min} = 9{:}15 \]
9:05 is the departure time of the previous bus, not the time of speaking, and 9:20 and 9:08 do not fit both facts.
Two trains of equal length run on parallel tracks in the same direction at 46 km/hr and 36 km/hr. The faster train passes the slower one in 36 seconds. What is the length of each train ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Correct answer: 50 m
The relative speed is the difference, since they travel the same way.
\[46 - 36 = 10 \text{ km/hr} = 10 \times \frac{5}{18} = \frac{25}{9} \text{ m/s}\]
\[\text{Distance covered} = \frac{25}{9} \times 36 = 100 \text{ m}\]
That 100 m is the combined length of both trains, so each is 50 m long.
Reasoning [ Question No: 3 To 5 ] :
Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series. 25 69 201 597 ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The missing number is 1785. Each term is three times the previous term minus 6: 25 x 3 - 6 = 69, 69 x 3 - 6 = 201, 201 x 3 - 6 = 597, so the next is 597 x 3 - 6 = 1785.
1775, 1765 and 1825 do not follow from 597 under the rule that fits all four earlier steps.
Check the pattern on the earlier terms: 25 x 3 - 6 = 69, 69 x 3 - 6 = 201 and 201 x 3 - 6 = 597, so one rule explains every step and gives 1785.
Several studies have examined the effect of selected personality variables on the decision making process. These studies generally have focused on _____________ variables.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: all of the above
The research has looked at three kinds of variable together: the personality of the decision maker, the situation in which the decision is taken, and the interaction between the two. The last is what makes the field difficult - the same person decides differently in different circumstances.

Why do people dislike advice ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The answer is People think they are underrated in their intelligence and understanding.
The passage says we look upon the giver of advice as offering an affront to our understanding and intelligence, treating us as children or idiots, and that we take the instruction as an implicit censure. Option A restates this.
Nothing in the passage calls advice old-fashioned or unnecessary (B), says people fail to understand it (C), or says they believe they already know it (D); the objection it gives is about being talked down to.

Find the correctly spelt words.
Find the correctly spelt word:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Sieve
The correct spelling is sieve - ie, following the rule i before e except after c, even though the word is pronounced siv and gives the ear no help at all. The gap between spelling and sound is the whole difficulty. The word is Old English, sife, and the modern spelling reflects a medieval pronunciation that has since shortened. The same ie pronounced short appears in friend, which is equally unhelpful to the writer, and both are worth learning as pairs with the regular ie words: believe, relieve, achieve, grieve and chief. The exceptions to the rule take ei: seize, weird, leisure, foreign, height, either and neither. The verb is spelt the same as the noun, giving sieved and sieving.
Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice. Rajesh was permitted to go home a little early by the manager.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The active voice is 'The manager permitted Rajesh to go home a little early.'
In the passive sentence 'Rajesh was permitted by the manager', the doer is the manager. In the active voice the manager becomes the subject and the tense, past, stays the same.
Option A changes the tense to present perfect, C swaps the doer and D uses the future.
To change to the active voice, put the doer, the manager, first, followed by the verb in the same tense and the object. The passive 'was permitted' is the simple past, so the active verb is 'permitted'. The sentence 'The manager permitted Rajesh to go home a little early' says exactly the same thing.

Current Affairs [ Question No: 20 To 20 ] :
Consider the following statements :
1. The Medical Termination of Pregnancy (Amendment) Bill 2020 seeks to amend The Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971.
2. The Bill sets up State level Medical Boards to decide if a pregnancy may be terminated after 24 weeks in case of substantial foetal abnormalities.
3. The Bill specifies that survivors of rape, victims of incest and other vulnerable women like differently abled women and minors will now be able to opt for abortion up to 28 weeks on the advice of two doctors.
Choose the correct statement(s) :
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Statements 1 and 2 are correct, so the answer is Only 1 and 2.
The Medical Termination of Pregnancy (Amendment) Bill, 2020 sought to amend the MTP Act, 1971 (1). It provided for State-level Medical Boards to decide whether a pregnancy may be terminated after 24 weeks on account of substantial foetal abnormalities (2).
Statement 3 is wrong on the limit. For special categories of women, such as survivors of rape, victims of incest, differently abled women and minors, the Bill raised the limit from 20 to 24 weeks, on the opinion of two doctors, not to 28 weeks. So options including statement 3 fail.
