MAT Mock Test - 5 - MAT MCQ

The proper order is: QSPR

Reason:

• We see that except Q, none of the sentences seem to be linked with sentence 1.
• Q tells how our life is full of ups and downs. So what do we do when we are disheartened? We derive inspiration from the lives of great men. Therefore S comes next. 
• How do their lives inspire us? Now if we place R first and P later, then 6 won't relate to P. P comes next in the sequence followed by R. 
• In this question, if we figure out the first sentence correctly. we needn't do the whole sequence, 'cause there's only one option starting with Q. The oorrect order is QSPR.

The correct sentence is:

When we face failures we are often disheartened. The lives of great men inspire us. They too had problems in their lives. They fought against all odds and achieved success.

Thoughts affect us when our pride is hurt.

Look at the lines: However, all thoughts that pass through our mind do not affect us. But we get affected when our ego is hit. 

Upon the perusal of the above statement, it can be concluded that thoughts affect us when our ego i.e., pride is hurt.

Let's refer to the lines: That is why some people are obsessed with football, cricket or fashion while others could not care less for such things. This filter is built day by day by our actions, suggestions, teachings and influence of others. We can ultimately choose our own filter. So let us learn to build our filter wisely and strengthen it daily.

Our actions, suggestions, teachings and other's influence but not reading decides the filter in our minds. It is no where mentioned that filter controls our likes or not.

Thus, it is evident that (A) is correct and (B) is incorrect.

​Upon perusal of the above statement, it can be concluded that shopkeepers are likely to be tolerant of incorrect pronunciation.

​It is also mentioned that "Some language students find this real-life situation more meaningful. Nevertheless, the rewards are different for the type of language learning situation. They are immediate (goods, bought in a store) the real-life but delayed until a quiz or oral recital for the classroom learner. Most foreign language students learn in a classroom, from a textbook."

Clearly, all the other options are true.

Reason:

• Sentence C comes first as it introduces the subject 'diary'.
• Sentence B follows C as it states the purpose of diary.
• Sentence A follows B as it mentions the type of record maintained in the diary,
• Sentence D will be the last part.

• Sentence A will be the last part.

The correct sentence is:

First term = 3² + 3 = 12
Second term = 4² + 4 = 20
Third term = 5² + 5 = 30
Fourth term = 6² + 6 = 42

According to X @ B * P

So, P is in the South-West of X.

P is the father of Q, but Q is not his son,

Q is the daughter of P (male).

Also, S is the wife of P. R is the son of S,

Q (female) and R (male) are siblings.

Thus, Q is the daughter of S.

In a row of children Neeta is 15th from the left end. If it shifts 4 places to the right then it becomes 8th from the right end.
According to the given information,
Neeta's rank from left = 15th
Nita's order from right when she does not move 4 places to the right then  = 8 + 4 = 12th
Thus the number of children in the row = 15 + 12 - 1 = 26

Boxes: 1 to 8 in descending order
Chocolates: Snickers, KitKat, Coffee byte, Dairy milk, Eclairs, Milky bar, Polo, Mentos.
1) Dairy milk is filled in 5th number box.
2)The box of Milky bar is kept between the box of Polo and Eclairs.
3) Milky bar is not filled in an odd number box.

4) Two boxes are kept between the box of Eclairs and Snickers.

5) KitKat is not filled in an even number box.
6) The box of Dairy milk is not above the box of snickers.

As the 1st case does not fulfil the above condition, it is eliminated.

7) Mentos is not immediately above or immediately below KitKat. So, Mentos will be filled in box number 4 and Coffee byte will be filled in box number 8.

The final arrangement will be:

Snickers chocolate is filled in the 6^th box.

Boxes: 1 to 8 in descending order
Chocolates: Snickers, KitKat, Coffee byte, Dairy milk, Eclairs, Milky bar, Polo, Mentos.
1) Dairy milk is filled in 5th number box.
2)The box of Milky bar is kept between the box of Polo and Eclairs.

6) The box of Dairy milk is not above the box of snickers.

As the 1st case does not fulfil the above condition, it is eliminated.

7) Mentos is not immediately above or immediately below KitKat. So, Mentos will be filled in box number 4 and Coffee byte will be filled in box number 8.

The final arrangement will be:

So, box of Dairy Milk is kept between the box of Snickers and Mentos.

Pratibha Patil was the first woman president of India.

Similarly,

C.D. Deshmukh was the first Indian Governor of RBI.

So, the correct answer is "First Indian Governor of RBI".

Since Sahil has been stalling his work, this makes him a procrastinator. It is not possible to assume from statement that Sahil was busy or not in the past few days. So, only assumption I is implicit.

Statement I:

Let the principal amount be P.

CI 

CI at 25% for 2 years  ----(1)

SI at 5% rate for 1 year  ---(2)

Now, (1) - (2) = Rs. 250

 = Rs. 250

  Rs. 250

⇒ P = Rs. 

So, statement I is sufficient to answer the question.

Statement II:

Let the principal be P.

Since we have 1 equation 2 variables.

So it cannot be solved.

So, statement II is not sufficient to answer the question.

Statement III:

CI at 8% annually 

CI at 8% semi-annually  

 = Rs. 279

Since we have 1 equation 2 variables.

So it cannot be solved.

So, statement III is not sufficient to answer the question.

∴ The data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II and statement III alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

Required answer: Museum B

Given:
From the pie chart:
Percentage of total cost spent on packaging = 5 %
And
Percentage of total cost spent on assembling = 25 %
So,
Assembling cost of each mobile of model C Rs. 2000
Hence,
Total cost spent on the assembling of all the mobiles of model C
= 2000 × 5000
= Rs . 1, 00, 00, 000 (1 crore)

From the bar graph:
Total 8000 mobiles of model E are produced.
So,
Amount of profit on each model   Rs. 1050

Given: The mobiles of model E are sold at 15% profit
1050
So, Cost price of each mobile of model Rs. 7000
From the pie chart:
Percentage of total cost spent on advertisement = 10%
Therefore,
Cost spent on advertisement on each mobile of model 
 
= Rs. 700

Quantity A:

Quantity of water in 160 litres of mixture = 20% of 160 

litres

Now, the quantity of water in final mixture remains the same

⇒ 32 = 10% of Quantity of final mixture × Quantity of final mixture

⇒ Quantity of final mixture = 32 × 10 = 320 litres

⇒ Quantity of milk to be added = 320 – 160 = 160 litres

⇒ Quantity A = 160 litres

Quantity B:

Ratio of mixture = 1 ∶ 6

Sum of ratios = 1 + 6 = 7

⇒ Quantity of alcohol in mixture Total quantity of mixture

Total quantity of mixture

⇒ Total quantity of mixture = 22 × 7 = 154 litres

⇒ Quantity B = 154 litres

∴ Quantity A > Quantity B

Quantity A:

Speed

Downstream speed = (x + y)

Upstream speed = (x – y)

Where x and y are speed of boat and speed of stream.

Let the speed of boat be x km/hr and speed of stream be y km/hr.

According to the question,

x + y = 6     ----(i)

x – y = 4     ----(ii)

Solving equation (i) and (ii) we get,

x = 5 k/hr, y = 1 km/hr

Now,

Time taken by to boat in still water to cover the distance

= 15/5 = 3 hours

∴ Required time is 3 hours.

Quantity B: 3 hours

∴ Quantity A = Quantity B

Given:

radius = 14 cm, volume = 17,248 cm³

Formula used:

Volume of cylinder = πr²h

For first condition,

Volume of cylinder = total surface area of cylinder.
πr²h = 2πrh + 2πr²
⇒ 14 h = 2 h + 28
⇒ 12 h = 28
⇒ h = 2
For second condition:

If r = 14 then h = 28

First or second condition is sufficient.

Given:

Raj scores 30% and fails by 60 marks, while Rohan who scores 55% marks, gets 40 marks more than the minimum required marks to pass the examination.

Formula used:

Suppose maximum marks = X

According to the question:

0.3X + 60 = 0.55X - 40

⇒ 0.25X = 100

∴ X = 400

The Indian coastline is broadly divided into two: the Western Coastal Plains and the Eastern Coastal Plains.
