Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 2 ] :
The unit digit of \((3547)^{153} \times (251)^{72}\) is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
We need the unit digit of \(7^{153} \times 1^{72}\). The unit digit of \(1^{72}\) is 1. For \(7^{153}\), the cycle is (7,9,3,1), length 4. We find the remainder of \(153 \div 4\), which is 1. So the unit digit is the 1st in the cycle, which is 7. The unit digit of the product is the unit digit of \(7 \times 1 = 7\).
The dimensions of an open box are 50 cm, 40 cm, and 23 cm. Its thickness is 3 cm. If 1 cubic cm of metal used in the box weighs 0.5 gms, find the weight of the box.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The metal is what lies between the outer box and the hollow inside it. The box is open, so only the depth loses one thickness, while the length and breadth lose two.
\[ V_{\text{outer}} = 50 \times 40 \times 23 = 46{,}000 \text{ cm}^{3} \]
\[ V_{\text{inner}} = (50-6)(40-6)(23-3) = 44 \times 34 \times 20 = 29{,}920 \text{ cm}^{3} \]
\[ V_{\text{metal}} = 46{,}000 - 29{,}920 = 16{,}080 \text{ cm}^{3} \]
\[ \text{weight} = 16{,}080 \times 0.5 = 8040 \text{ g} = 8.04 \text{ kg} \]

Statement: "Though the candidates have been instructed to bring pencils, yet provide some pencils with each invigilator." - An instruction to test administration staff.
Assumptions:
1. Pencils are in short supply.
2. All the candidates will bring the pencil
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Nothing about the availability of pencils is mentioned in the statement. So, I is not implicit. Also, in the statement, the staff has been instructed to provide pencils with each invigilator. This means that despite being instructed, all the candidates might not bring the pencil. So, II is also not implicit.

Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series. 3, 50, 755, 11330 ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The missing number is 169955. Each term is 15 times the previous one plus 5: 3 x 15 + 5 = 50, 50 x 15 + 5 = 755, and 755 x 15 + 5 = 11330. Applying the rule once more gives 11330 x 15 + 5 = 169950 + 5 = 169955. The values 169950, 169590 and 169055 do not equal 11330 x 15 + 5. The same multiplier can be checked backwards: 11330 minus 5 is 11325, and 11325 divided by 15 is 755; likewise 755 minus 5 is 750, and 750 divided by 15 is 50. Because the rule reproduces every given term, applying it forward is safe.
The following equation is incorrect. Which two signs should be interchanged to correct the equation?
10 x 4 + 5 - 30 ÷ 6 = 31
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: x and -
Exchanging × and − gives \( 10 - 4 + 5 \times 30 \div 6 \), which works out as \[ 10 - 4 + 25 = \mathbf{31} \]
The following question is based on the following alphabet series.

N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Which is the letter as far from the first letter of the alphabet given below as the letter C is from the letter midway between K and R in 'QUICKSILVER' ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: J
Two steps. In QUICKSILVER, K is the 5th letter and R the 11th, so the letter midway between them is the 8th, L.
The distance from C to L in the alphabet is
\[ 12 - 3 = 9 \]
and the letter nine from A is the 10th:
\[ 1 + 9 = 10 \rightarrow J \]
The care needed is in switching frames: the midpoint is found by position within the word, and the distance is then measured in the alphabet.
General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 8 To 20 ] :
In which of the following the first Municipal Corporation was set up in India ?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The first municipal corporation in India was set up in Madras.
The Madras Municipal Corporation was created in 1688 under a charter of the East India Company, making it the oldest municipal body in India.
Bombay and Calcutta received municipal corporations later, in the eighteenth century, so they are the usual traps. Kerala is a state, not a city, and could not have had the first municipal corporation.
Choose the wrong pair :
1. Thodakku - The ornaments on the neck
2. Andalai Aduppu - Cock shaped
3. Iyavithulam - Weapons for gouging the eyes
4. Yeri Chiral - The equipment to stock Bow and arrows
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Pairs 3 and 4 are the wrong pairs in the key: Iyavithulam and Yeri Chiral are not matched with the meanings printed against them.
Thodakku as an ornament of the neck and Andalai Aduppu as a cock-shaped stove are accepted, so options that call 1 or 2 wrong are rejected. The word meanings follow the key and could not be independently checked here.

Correct Answer : B
Zymase converts glucose to ethyl alcohol.
Secreted by yeast, it catalyses \[\mathrm{C_6H_{12}O_6 \rightarrow 2\,C_2H_5OH + 2\,CO_2}\] Invertase first splits sucrose into glucose and fructose, diastase converts starch to maltose, and maltase maltose to glucose - zymase completes the chain.
