Army Cadet College (ACC) Mock Test - 8 - Army Cadet College (ACC) MCQ

Given number -        8 3 7 9 1 2

Descending order -  9 8 7 3 2 1

Hence, the position of only one digit, i.e. 7 remains unchanged.

According to question,
A's weight is twice as much as of B.
1. A = 2B.
B's weight is four and half times as much as of C.
2. B = 4.5C
C's weight is half times as much as of D.
3. C = D/2.
D's weight is half as much as of E.
4. D = E/2.
E weight is less than A but more than C.
5. A > E > C
from 1 and 2
6. A = 2B = 9C
from 6 and 3
7. A = 2B = 9C = 4.5D
from 7 and 4
8. A = 2B = 9C = 4.5D = 2.25E
so from 8 and 5
A > B > E > D > C

So A is the heaviest in the weight.

The pattern followed is:

Hence, the correct answer is "216".

K is daughter of L.
L is the daughter-in-law of M.
So, M is grandfather of K.
J is uncle of K.
J is the brother of K’s father.
Hence J is the son of M.

The sequence is a combination of two series:

I. 19, 38, 114, (____)
II. 2, 3, 4

Considering Series I:
1st term = 19
2nd term = 19*2 = 38
3rd term = 38*3 = 114
Thus, the missing number is 4th term = 114 * 4 = 456

Following the common explanation, we get “Y sits near A”.
Hence, option C is correct.
Final Arrangement:

Common Explanation:
References:
1. Two people are sitting between A and Z.
2. C sits fourth to the right of Z.
3. The number of people sitting to the right of A is the same as the number of people sitting to the left of Z.
4. The number of people sitting between A and C is the same as the number of people sitting between X and C.
5. X is an immediate neighbour of D, who sits on one of the ends.
6. The number of people sitting between D and C is the same as the number of people sitting between C and Y.
7. At most 25 people are sitting in a row.
Inferences:
From reference 1, we get two possible cases.
From reference 7, case2 was eliminated.
Hence, Case 1 is the final arrangement.

A solid has shape, size, position and can be moved from one place to another. So, solid has three dimensions

 A point is that which has no part i.e., no length, no breadth and no height. So, it has no dimension.

 Boundaries of a solid are called surfaces. A surface (plane) has only length and breadth. So, it has two dimensions.

To factorise the quadratic polynomial x² + 14x + 45, follow these steps:

• Identify two numbers that multiply to 45 and add up to 14.
• The numbers are 9 and 5.
• Rewrite the middle term: x² + 9x + 5x + 45.
• Factor by grouping:
  Group the first two and last two terms: (x² + 9x) + (5x + 45).
  Factor out the common terms: x(x + 9) + 5(x + 9).
  Combine to get: (x + 9)(x + 5).

Thus, the factorised form is (x + 9)(x + 5).

When iron and sulphur are heated at high temperature:

- Mixture of iron and sulphur is obtained: This statement is incorrect. Heating iron and sulphur at high temperature does not result in a simple mixture of iron and sulphur. Instead, a chemical reaction takes place and a new compound, iron sulphide, is formed.
- Yellow coloured iron sulphide is formed: This statement is incorrect. Iron sulphide (FeS) formed from the reaction of iron and sulphur is black in color, not yellow.
- They do not heat: This statement is incorrect. Iron and sulphur can be heated at high temperatures to initiate a chemical reaction between them.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A: Black coloured FeS is formed.

Introduction:
Basket weaving, pottery, and other handicrafts are examples of traditional crafts that have been practiced for centuries. These crafts are often produced on a small scale and are typically made by individual artisans or small groups of artisans. They are considered to be part of the cottage industry.
Explanation:
Cottage industries are small-scale, decentralized manufacturing businesses that are typically run from the homes of the workers. These industries often rely on manual labor and traditional techniques to produce handmade goods. Basket weaving, pottery, and other handicrafts are perfect examples of cottage industries because:
1. Handmade production: These crafts are typically made by hand using traditional methods and techniques. Each piece is unique and reflects the skill and creativity of the artisan.
2. Small-scale production: Basket weaving, pottery, and other handicrafts are usually produced in small quantities. The production process is often labor-intensive and time-consuming, making it difficult to scale up production.
3. Local sourcing of materials: Artisans often source their materials locally, such as using locally grown fibers for basket weaving or clay from nearby sources for pottery. This not only supports local economies but also adds uniqueness to the products.
4. Artistic expression: Handicrafts are often regarded as an art form, allowing artisans to express their creativity and cultural heritage through their work. These crafts carry a sense of tradition and are deeply rooted in local culture.
5. Market demand: Handicrafts have a niche market, with consumers appreciating the authenticity and uniqueness of these products. They are often sought after as decorative items or as gifts.
Conclusion:
Basket weaving, pottery, and other handicrafts are prime examples of cottage industries. They embody the traditional craftsmanship, artistic expression, and cultural heritage of a region. These industries provide opportunities for artisans to showcase their skills and contribute to the local economy while preserving traditional techniques and knowledge.

Mauna Kea (Hawaii) in the Pacific Ocean is an undersea mountain. It is higher than Mount Everest being 10,205 metres high.

Southern part of the Himalayas is covered with dense forests

• The Himalayan southern slopes are where we can find dense vegetation. This is because the southern slope receives very heavy rainfall resulting in the growth of dense and thick forests within this region.

• The Himalayan southern slopes get extremely heavy rainfall because of the southwest monsoon winds that travel west alongside the southern slopes.

• Therefore, the southern slopes of the Himalayan region are covered with dense and thick vegetation as compared to slopes of Himalayas Tropical and subtropical broadleaf forests are usually found at the mountain base.

• Due to the difference in weather, topography, rainfall, and soils these forests vary from northern wet tropical to dry tropical evergreen forests. With further increase in elevation, you can find temperate broadleaf mixed forests .
