Stray dogs known in scientific literature as free ranging urban dogs are unconfined dogs living in streets. India is home to one of largest population of stray dogs in the world with approximately 30 million stray dogs on streets. These free roaming dogs on streets evoke different emotions such as affection, sympathy, intolerance and fear amongst human beings. The culling of non-rabid stray dogs is now forbidden in India. This change in the thought of the country's judiciary and lack of implementation of effective animal birth control measures have resulted in increasing population. As the stray dog population increases, so do the problems associated with it - dog bites, rabies, noise pollution to name a few. Sadly, this has also forced these countless stray dogs to survive in squalid conditions. For many people, these issues have transformed dogs, who were once considered their beloved companions to their worst enemies. A mill owner killed 60 stray dogs but later felt remorse and went to Gandhiji, who approved of his deeds. This created a controversy, as violence was justified by an epitome of 'Ahimsa'. Respect for all living beings and that all life forms should be protected and not meted out with violence, forms the foundation of the concept of 'Ahimsa'. Gandhiji's endorsement of the mill owner's act could be understood in light of true interpretation of 'Ahimsa'. He thought that the act prevented the dogs from undergoing cruel state of neglect.
Current animal welfare laws and inefficient implementation of animal birth control measures have resulted in which one of the following?

For a few days, no one knew where Venkatashami had gone. Enquiries revealed that he had run away with the Dombara girl. The leader of the troupe came to the Gowda to express his grief and went back to the camp. There was nothing that anyone could do. Four days later, a Gowda from a village some five miles away was passing this way, and he brought Venkatashami and left him at his parents' house. The boy was burning with fever. It seems the girl was with him when he became ill. She had been taken home by her father and Venkatashami had been brought back seriously ill.
The boy did not recover from that illness. He was a handsome boy with an open face. Dark, yes, but attractive. The black of his skin, that of his eyes, and of his moustache were of three different shades. When he smiled, it was like a flash of lightning among the clouds. His body was so well-built, no hammer could break it. The fever that had caught hold of him seemed unwilling to let go of such a fine physique. They call the fever by the name typhoid now and can diagnose it in no time. But those days, nobody was aware of such things. All they knew was that something was wrong with the tongue. He was given the traditional medicines and kept on a local diet. A fortnight later, Venkatashami passed away. His delirious mind rambled and his talk was all about his meeting with the girl. Whenever he was conscious, he kept asking them to call her. It would have been all right if he had been married to her. His request would have been treated with understanding and sympathy, and she would have been sent for. But does one bring the girl who had led him astray to his bedside in these circumstances ?
Which of the following statements is True/False ?
A. The family was willing to marry Venkatashami to the Dombara girl.
B. Venkatashami came home on his own accord.

P invested ₹ 5000 per month for 6 months of a year and Q invested ₹ \(x\) per month for 8 months of the year in a partnership business. The profit is shared in proportion to the total investment made in that year.
If at the end of that investment year, Q receives \(\frac{4}{9}\) of the total profit, what is the value of \(x\) (in ₹)?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The value of \(x\) is ₹ 3000.
P's total investment is \(5000 \times 6 = 30\,000\) and Q's is \(8x\). Q's share of the profit is its share of the total investment:
\[ \begin{aligned} \frac{8x}{30\,000 + 8x} &= \frac{4}{9} \\ 72x &= 120\,000 + 32x \\ x &= 3000 \end{aligned} \]
Check: Q invests 24,000, P 30,000, and \(24\,000/54\,000 = 4/9\). 2500 gives Q only 20,000 (40%); 4687 and 8437 give Q more than 4/9.

Number of students from various schools playing various games

| A | B | C | D | |
| Cricket | 150 | 200 | 100 | 175 |
| Hockey | 125 | 175 | 150 | 225 |

| Badminton | 130 | 120 | 75 | 55 |
The number of students playing hockey from school A is approximately what percentage of the number of students playing badminton from school B?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The required percentage is about 104 per cent. Hockey players from school A number 125 and badminton players from school B number 120. 125/120 x 100 = 104.17, which is approximately 104 per cent. 96 per cent is the inverse ratio 120/125, and 98 and 102 per cent do not come from these two entries. The question compares two different cells of the table: hockey players in school A (125) and badminton players in school B (120). The ratio 125/120 is 25/24, which is about 1.0417, i.e. 104.17 per cent.
12 men complete a work in 9 days. After they have worked for 6 days, 6 more men join them. How many days will they take to complete the remaining work?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Total work = \(12 \times 9 = 108\) man-days. Work done in 6 days by 12 men = \(12 \times 6 = 72\) man-days. Remaining work = \(108 - 72 = 36\) man-days. Now, the number of men is \(12+6=18\). Time taken to complete the remaining work = Remaining work / Number of men = 36 / 18 = 2 days.
What is the difference between the compound interest on Rs.12000 at 20% p.a. for one year when compounded yearly and half yearly?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
When compounded annually, interest
= 12000[1 + 20/100] - 12000 = Rs.2400
When compounded semi-annually, interest
= 12000[1 + 10/100]² - 12000 = Rs.2520
Required difference = 2520 - 2400 = Rs.120
Find the amount on Rs.8000 in 9 months at 20% per annum, if the interest being compounded quarterly?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
\[ A = P\left(1 + \frac{R}{100}\right)^{n}, \qquad \text{CI} = A - P, \qquad \text{SI} = \frac{PRn}{100} \]
Quarterly compounding at 20% per annum gives 5% per quarter, and nine months is three quarters.
\[ A = 8000 \times (1.05)^{3} = 8000 \times 1.157625 = \text{Rs. } 9261 \]
The question asks for the amount, not the interest - the Rs. 1261 on offer is the interest alone.
A fruit seller had some apples. He sells 40 % apples and still has 420 apples. Originally, he had:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Suppose originally he had \(x\) apples.
Then, \((100 - 40)\)% of \(x = 420\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{60}{100} \times x = 420 \)
\(\Rightarrow x = (\frac{420 \times 100}{60}) = 700\)

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: 96542
A digit is struck off each time, alternately from the front and from the back: 589654237 loses its first digit, the result loses its last, and so on. Taking the last digit off 965423 gives 96542.
Statement:
"Please note that the company will provide accommodation to only outside candidates if selected." - A condition in an advertisement.
Assumptions:
I. The local candidates would be having some or other arrangement for their stay.
II. The company plans to select only local candidates.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: If only assumption I is inplicit
Offering accommodation to outside candidates alone makes sense only if local candidates do not need it, so the company assumes they have somewhere to stay. Assumption II reverses the whole notice: a condition addressed to outside candidates would be pointless if the company intended to select none, so it contradicts rather than underlies the statement.
How is T related to K?
Statements:
1. K has two sons; one of the sons is A.
2. The mother of T has only two sons - Aand B.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Both 1 and 2 are sufficient
Statement 2 says T’s mother has only two sons, A and B, so T is a daughter and A is T’s brother. Statement 1 makes A a son of K, so K is the parent of A and therefore of T - T is K’s daughter. Neither alone links T to K, so both are required.

Current animal welfare laws and inefficient implementation of animal birth control measures have resulted in which one of the following?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The result is unhygienic living conditions of stray dogs.
The excerpt says that the judiciary's changed thinking and the lack of effective animal birth control have resulted in a growing population, and that this "has also forced these countless stray dogs to survive in squalid conditions". Squalid conditions are unhygienic conditions.
Animal-human conflict is described as increasing, not reduced, and the dog population is rising, not declining. The ban applies only to culling non-rabid dogs, so it does not prevent the culling of all stray dogs.

Which of the following statements is True/False ?
A. The family was willing to marry Venkatashami to the Dombara girl.
B. Venkatashami came home on his own accord.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The answer is both A and B are false.
A is false: the family would not call the girl to his bedside, since she 'had led him astray', and the writer says it would have been all right only if he had been married to her. So the family was not willing to marry them. B is false: he did not come on his own. A Gowda from a village five miles away 'brought Venkatashami and left him at his parents' house'.
The options that call either statement true therefore do not fit.

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: 6
Sixth in the rearranged paragraph is sentence 6.
The paragraph runs 3 – 5 – 4 – 1 – 2 – 6:
- 3 sets the scene: a big lake in the forest of Madhubani.
- 5 gives the event - heavy rain, and the lake overflowing.
- 4 follows the water into the waterway.
- 1 describes that current - its refers to the waterway in 4.
- 2 introduces the children playing on the bank.
- 6 closes with the rescue - them can only be the children.
Its current in 1 and them in 6 each depend on the sentence before, which locks the second half of the order.

Computer Awareness [ Question No: 15 To 16 ] :
In the buddy system of memory allocation, blocks are
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: split into halves and merged with their partner when freed
The buddy system keeps memory in blocks whose sizes are powers of two. A request is satisfied by repeatedly halving a block until the smallest adequate size is reached; the two halves produced at each split are buddies. When a block is freed, the system checks whether its buddy is also free, and if so merges the pair back into the larger block, repeating upward. Its merit is that coalescing is fast. A block’s buddy is found by flipping a single bit of its address, so merging costs almost nothing - unlike a general free-list, where finding an adjacent free block requires searching. Its cost is internal fragmentation: a request for 33 KB receives 64 KB, wasting nearly half. On average about a quarter of allocated memory is lost. It is used in the Linux kernel for physical page allocation, where the fixed page size limits the waste, and the slab allocator is layered on top of it to serve small kernel objects efficiently.
