DSSSB AE Civil Tier 1 Mock Test - 9 - Question 3

Pipe A can fill a tank of 1000 liters in 150 minutes. In how many minutes can it fill a tub of 60 liters while working with 5% of its efficiency?

Detailed Solution for DSSSB AE Civil Tier 1 Mock Test - 9 - Question 3

First, find the normal rate of Pipe A:

  • Pipe A fills 1000 liters in 150 minutes.
  • Hence, its normal rate = 1000 / 150 = 6.6667 liters per minute.

Next, if it works at only 5% efficiency, its rate becomes:

  • 5% of 6.6667 = 0.05 × 6.6667 = 0.3333 liters per minute (approximately).

Finally, to fill 60 liters at this reduced rate:

  • Time required = 60 / 0.3333 ≈ 180 minutes.

Answer: 180 minutes (Option c).

Hence, Option C is correct.

DSSSB AE Civil Tier 1 Mock Test - 9 - Question 4

The average of 100 numbers is 210. The average of these 100 numbers and 20 other new numbers is 200. What is the average of 20 new numbers?

Detailed Solution for DSSSB AE Civil Tier 1 Mock Test - 9 - Question 4

 

Sum of 100 numbers =100×210=21000
Sum of 120 numbers =120×200=24000
Sum of 20 numbers =24000−21000=3000
∴ Average of 20 new numbers =3000/20=150


Hence, Option D is correct.

DSSSB AE Civil Tier 1 Mock Test - 9 - Question 5

How many digits will be there to the right of the decimal point in the product of 95.75 and .02554?

Detailed Solution for DSSSB AE Civil Tier 1 Mock Test - 9 - Question 5

Step 1: Count Decimal Places in Each Number

  • 95.75 has 2 decimal places

  • 0.02554 has 5 decimal places

Step 2: Add the Decimal Places

When multiplying two decimals, the total number of decimal places in the product should be the sum of the decimal places in the two numbers:

2 (from 95.75) + 5 (from 0.02554) = 7 decimal places

Step 3: Check by Multiplying

Now let's multiply:

95.75 × 0.02554 = 2.445455

So the actual product has 6 digits after the decimal point — not 7.

Why the Difference?

Even though the rule says there should be 7 decimal places, trailing zeros are often dropped.
If the answer were 2.4454550, it would have 7 digits after the decimal, but since the zero is not significant, it's not written.

So the actual product is 2.445455, which has 6 digits after the decimal point.

Conclusion:

  • Rule-based answer = 7 decimal places

  • Actual product = 6 decimal places

Answer is: c) 6

DSSSB AE Civil Tier 1 Mock Test - 9 - Question 6

If a man is standing at a point C, how far and in which direction is point F w.r.t point C?

According to the information given in the question, we can draw the following diagram.

BC = 24 m
FC = ED = 12 m
FC = 12 m
Thus point F is in the west w.r.t to point C and 12 m from point C.
Hence, the correct answer is "12 m west".

Although an Eco-friendly process and one of the important ways to save the environment, recycling is not gaining pace in the industry. The recycling undergoes many process. First is collecting and sorting of garbage. This required a lot of manpower and tools which are expensive. Another disadvantage of recycling which makes it unviable is that for the manufacturers economically, the recycled material is not highly demanded since its quality is not as good as the original material. So, if the marketing of recycled goods is not worthwhile then the whole process of recycling cannot be economically efficient. Recycled products face other disadvantage as well, such life, difficult in de-linking the dyed products and less durability etc.

"Cloning is an advanced technological invention for producing a genetic twin of a living thing, an organism that starts life with the same genes as its parents. In mammals, DNA is taken from an adult animal and then it is inserted into an egg cell from another animal. This egg then divides into an embryo. The embryo is then transplanted into a surrogate mother and grown to term. This process has worked in animals like cows, sheep, goats, mice, pigs, rats, cat, monkeys, and horses." The opponents of human cloning say that an embryo at any stage of development is a human life. worthy of protection and any kind of research that entails destroying an embryo is immoral, unethical, no matter how worthy the intent may be.

DSSSB AE Civil Tier 1 Mock Test - 9 - Question 16

If Mohr's circle is drawn for a fluid body at rest, it would be-

Detailed Solution for DSSSB AE Civil Tier 1 Mock Test - 9 - Question 16
Mohr's circle is a graphical representation of a general state of stress at a point. It is a graphical method used for evaluation of principal stresses, maximum shear stress; normal and tangential stresses on any given plane.

The radius of Mohr Circle ⇒ R=τmax = √[(σx - σy/2)2 + τxy 2)]

In static fluid,

τxy = 0 and σx = σy = - σ (normal compressive stress)

⇒ R=τmax = √[(σ - σ/2)2 + τxy 2 )] = 0

Therefore, Mohr Circle for Static Fluid is a Point Circle

Hence, the correct option is (D)
