Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 5 ] :
The circumference of a circular ground is 88 meters. A strip of land, 3 meters wide, inside and along the circumference of the ground is to be levelled. What is the budgeted expenditure if the levelling costs is Rs. 7 per square meter
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The expenditure is Rs. 1650.
From the circumference, \(2\pi R = 88\), so \(R = 14\) m. The strip runs inside the boundary, so the inner radius is \(14 - 3 = 11\) m, and the strip is the ring between them:
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{area} &= \tfrac{22}{7}(14^{2} - 11^{2}) \\ &= \tfrac{22}{7} \times 75 = \tfrac{1650}{7}\ \text{m}^{2} \end{aligned} \]
At Rs. 7 per square metre the cost is \(\tfrac{1650}{7} \times 7 = 1650\). Taking the strip outside the circle (radius 17 m) gives a larger area and a cost of 2046, close to the 2050 offered, which is the trap.
Find the single equivalent discount of 10%, 15% and 30%.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The single equivalent discount is 46.45%. Successive discounts of 10%, 15% and 30% leave 90%, 85% and 70% of the marked price: \[ 0.90\times 0.85\times 0.70 = 0.5355 \] So the price after the three discounts is 53.55% of the marked price, and the single discount is \[ 100 - 53.55 = 46.45\% \] The sum 55% is not the answer, because each later discount applies to the reduced price. The other options 78.14%, 56.12% and 66.12% are not near the product.
Find the unit digit of \(22^{23}\).
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Only the unit digit of the base matters, so consider powers of 2:
\[ 2,\ 4,\ 8,\ 6 \quad (\text{period } 4) \]
\[ 23 = 4 \times 5 + 3 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad \text{third in the cycle} \]
So the unit digit is 8.
What least value must be assigned to '*' so that the number 63576*2 is divisible by 8?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
For a number to be divisible by 8, the number formed by its last three digits must be divisible by 8. Here, the number is 6*2.
Let's check values for *:
If * = 1, we have 612. \(612 \div 8 = 76.5\) (Not divisible)
If * = 2, we have 622. \(622 \div 8 = 77.75\) (Not divisible)
If * = 3, we have 632. \(632 \div 8 = 79\) (Divisible)
The least value is 3.
If the edge of a cube is 1 cm then which of the following is its total surface area?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
A cube has six identical square faces.
\[ \text{TSA} = 6a^{2} = 6 \times 1^{2} = 6 \text{ cm}^{2} \]
The 1 cm² option is the area of a single face and the 4 cm² the four side faces, leaving out the top and bottom.

In each question below is given a statement followed by three assumptions numbered I, II and III. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions, decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement and choose your answer accordingly.
Statement: "Television X - the neighbour's envy, the owner's pride" - A T.V. advertisement.
Assumptions:
1. Catchy slogans appeal to people.
2. People are envious of their neighbours superior possessions.
3. People want to be envied by their neighbours.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Only I and II are implicit
The slogan is coined because a catchy phrase takes hold - assumption I - and it plays on the neighbour’s envy, which presupposes that people do envy their neighbours’ better possessions, assumption II. Only I and II are implicit.
Hitesh, Sunny, Vicky, Nitin and Bharat are arranged in ascending order of the height from the top. Hitesh is at third place. Bharat is between Nitin andHitesh while Nitin is not at the bottom. Who has the maximum height among them?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Nitin
Hitesh is third, Bharat lies between Nitin and Hitesh, and Nitin is not at the bottom - which leaves only one arrangement, with Nitin at the head of it. So Nitin is the tallest.
Which one of the following is always found in 'Remedy of fault'?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Correct answer: Fault
The question asks what is always present, not what usually is. To speak of the remedy of a fault presupposes that there is a fault to remedy. Punishment and scolding are ways of responding to a fault rather than parts of remedying one, and “remedy” merely repeats the phrase.
In the Olympic Games, the flags of six nations were flown on the masts in the following way : The flag of America was to the left of Indian tricolour and to the right of the flag of France.
The flag of Australia was on the right of the Indian flag but was to the left of the flag of Japan,
Which was to the left of the flag of China.
Find the two flags which are in the centre.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Correct answer: Indian and Australia
Chain the clues from the left. France is left of America, which is left of India, giving France, America, India. Australia is right of India and left of Japan, and Japan is left of China, giving India, Australia, Japan, China. Together the six run France, America, India, Australia, Japan, China, and the two in the centre are the third and fourth - India and Australia.

Direction for [ Question No: 10 To 11 ] :
In each of the following questions, choose the word opposite in meaning to the given word.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The opposite is cheerful.
Bleak means cold, bare and dispiriting. Cheerful is its reverse in mood.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The opposite is agitate.
To placate is to calm someone's anger. Appease, cheer and pacify are synonyms; agitate stirs the feeling up again.
A rewording of something written or spoken is a ______________.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
A rewording is a paraphrase.
To paraphrase is to express the meaning of something written or spoken in different words, typically to clarify or simplify it.
The distractors share only the prefix. A paradox is a statement that seems self-contradictory but may be true. A paradigm is a model or typical pattern. Paraffin is a waxy or liquid hydrocarbon used as fuel.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
It is zigzagged.
The g doubles before -ed because zigzag ends in a stressed syllable with a single vowel and a single consonant - the same rule that gives stopped and permitted.
General Awareness / General Knowledge (GK) [ Question No: 14 To 20 ] :
Which of the following UNESCO World Heritage Sites is/are located in Uttarakhand ?
Choose the correct option :
A. Valley of Flowers B. Kaziranga National Park
C. Mountain Railways of India D. Nanda Devi National Park
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The sites in Uttarakhand are A and D only.
The Valley of Flowers and Nanda Devi National Parks, both in Chamoli district, together form a single UNESCO World Heritage Site (Nanda Devi inscribed in 1988, extended to include the Valley of Flowers in 2005).
Kaziranga National Park is in Assam, and the Mountain Railways of India (Darjeeling, Nilgiri and Kalka-Shimla) are in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Himachal Pradesh, none in Uttarakhand.
What is a ‘mosaic’?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
A mosaic is a pattern or image made of small regular or irregular pieces of coloured stone, glass or ceramic, held in place by plaster or cement. It is a kind of art that is used on floors and walls. It is not a method of photography, a type of painting or a form of music. A mosaic is made by setting small pieces, called tesserae, into a surface, and the Romans used them for floors in villas. A method of photo art, a painting or music are not mosaics, though a photographic mosaic uses many small images.
In which of the following states is alluvial soil found in abundance?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Alluvial soil is found in abundance in Uttar Pradesh, where the Indo-Gangetic plains are made of the silt brought down by the Ganga, the Yamuna and their tributaries. It is the most fertile soil and supports wheat, rice and sugarcane.
Himachal Pradesh has mountain soils, Tripura has mostly red and lateritic soils, and Maharashtra has black soil over the Deccan trap. So only Uttar Pradesh fits.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Light is slowest in glass.
Speed in a medium is \(c/n\), so the higher the refractive index the slower the light. Glass has \(n \approx 1.5\), water 1.33, air 1.0003 and vacuum exactly 1 - so the order of speeds runs the other way.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)

The Presidential Government operates on the principle of
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Presidential government works on the principle of separation of powers.
The executive, legislature and judiciary are constituted separately and independently: the American president is elected apart from Congress, cannot be removed by it except by impeachment, and cannot dissolve it. The parliamentary system deliberately fuses the first two instead.
