Indian Army Group C Mock Test - 2 - Indian Army Group C MCQ

Given:

Mohit got 30% marks and failed by 25 marks

Another student scored 38% and

He got 15 more marks than passing marks

Calculation:

According to the question

⇒ 30% + 25 = 38% – 15

⇒ (38% – 30%) = (15 + 25)

⇒ 8% = 40

⇒ 1% = 5 marks

Now,

5% = 25 marks 

Then,

The necessary pass percentage required = (30% + 5%)

⇒ 35%

∴ Required pass percentage is 35%

Hence, "Printer" is the correct answer.

Important PointsInput Device: A piece of equipment/hardware that helps us enter data into a computer is called an input device. For example keyboard, mouse, etc. 

1. Keyboard:

• A simple device comprising keys and each key denotes either an alphabet, number, or number commands which can be given to a computer for various actions to be performed
• It has a modified version of typewriter keys
• The keyboard is an essential input device and computers and laptops both use keyboards to give commands to the computer

2. Joy Stick:

• It is a device that comprises a stick that is attached at an angle to the base so that it can be moved and controlled
• Mostly used to control the movement in video games
• Apart from a computer system, a joystick is also used in the cockpit of an aeroplane, wheelchairs, cranes, trucks, etc. to operate them well

3. Scanner:

• This device can scan images or text and convert it into a digital signal
• When we place any piece of a document on a scanner, it converts it into a digital signal and displays it on the computer screen

Output Device: A piece of equipment/hardware that gives out the result of the entered input, once it is processed (i.e. converts data from machine language to a human-understandable language), is called an output device. For example printers, monitors, etc. 

Printer:

• A device that makes a copy of the pictorial or textual content, usually over a paper is called a printer
• For example, an author types the entire book on his/her computer and later gets a printout of it, which is in the form of paper and is later published
• Multiple types of printers are also available in the market, which can serve different purposes

Decoding the information, 

Given:

14 ÷ 2 + 8 × 5

After replacing the signs from left to right and using the BODMAS rule,

14 + 2 × 8 - 5

= 14 + 16 - 5

= 30 - 5

= 25

Hence, “25” is the correct answer.

Answer: A. River

Explanation:
- Both hill and mountain are landforms that have elevation.
- A hill is a small, elevated landform.
- A mountain is a large, elevated landform with steep sides and a peak.

- Similarly, both stream and river are bodies of flowing water.
- A stream is a small, narrow body of flowing water.
- A river is a large, wide body of flowing water.

Therefore, the analogy is:
Hill : Mountain :: Stream : River

The given sentence is of present perfect tense and it is in active form.

The structures for active/passive voices are:

Active: Subject + has/have + verb (IIIrd form) + object...

Passive: Object + has/have + been + verb (IIIrd form) + by + subject...

Options (c) and (d) are incorrect as it uses the incorrect helping verb 'has', while the subject is plural.

Option (a) is incorrect as the original statement is in present perfect tense and the converted statement too needs to be in the same.

Option (b) is the correct Answer.

AP: 21, 42, 63, 84, …
a = 21
d = 42 – 21 = 21
a(n) = 210
a + (n – 1) x d = 210
21 + (n – 1) x (21) = 210
21 + 21 x n – 21 = 210
21 x n = 210
n = 10

As given,
∠BOC = 110^o
And, we know incentre of a triangle is a point where angle bisector of triangles meet.
So, which means ∠OCB =∠OBC
∠BOC +∠OCB+∠OBC = 180^o
⇒∠OCB + ∠OBC = 180^o − 110^o
⇒∠OCB +∠OBC = 70^o

Since, ∠ABC = 2∠OBC
∠ACB = 2∠OCB
So, ∠ABC+∠ACB = 2 × 70^o
⇒∠ABC + ∠ACB = 140^o
Now, in triangle ABC.
∠ABC +∠BAC +∠ACB = 180^o
⇒∠BAC  +140o = 180^o
⇒∠BAC = 180o − 140^o
⇒∠BAC = 40^o
Hence, the correct answer is 40^o.

Let the numerator = x and denominator = y

y + 3 = 2y ⇒ y = 3

x +1= 3 ⇒ x = 2

∴ xy = 2 × 3 = 6

Using Rule 1 :
1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,
We have,
First number × second number = LCM × HCF

Using Rule 1 :
1st number × 2nd number = L.C. M. × H.C.F,
First number × Second number = HCF × LCM
⇒ 864 × Second number
= 96 × 1296 ⇒ Second number

The term "scale" in cartography refers to the relationship between distance on the map and distance on the ground. A "small scale" map displays a larger area of land with less detail. For example, a world map is a small scale map because it shows continents and oceans with minimal detail. Conversely, a "large scale" map, like a city map, shows a smaller area with much greater detail.
