MPPSC Paper 2 (GA) Mock Test - 3 - MPPSC (Madhya Pradesh) MCQ

Given:

Eight People: R, K, B, D, Q, E, S, and Z

(1) K sits at one of the corner.

(2) Z sits third to the right of K.

(3) There are four persons sitting between Z and Q when counted clockwise from Z.

(4) B sits immediate left of Q.

(5) D is sitting at one of the corner but is not an immediate neighbour of B and S.

(6) Only one person sits between D and E also between R and S.

(7) No person sits immediately next to one another according to the alphabetical order i.e. (D – E, Q – R and R – S not sits next to one another).

So, the final arrangement,

Thus, “4” persons sits between E and S when counted clockwise from E.

Let the capitals invested by Amit, Bumrah and Chris be 5x, 6x and 8x respectively.

Investment of Chris after 1 year = 8x - (60% of  

Investment of Amit after 1 year = 5x + (60% of  

The ratio of profit shares of Amit, Bumrah and Chris at the end of 2 years will be in the ratio of their effective investments.

After 2 years,

Amit's total contribution =  

Bumrah's total contribution =  

Chris's total contribution =  

∴ Ratio of their profits after two years =  

In the given paragraph, From the very first line, we can conclude that the speaker is a patriot for his motherland and wants to protect his motherland. hence the correct answer is option D.

'Subjugated' means to bring under control and governance as a subject Conquer.

From the different phrases "we shall go on to the end", "we shall fight", "we shall defend", "we shall never surrender" of the passage, we can say that "the tone of the speaker is inspiring and encouraging."

Thus, the correct answer is "Inspiring and encouraging."

The solution is based on analyzing the metaphorical comparison of knowledge to water, which suggests flexibility, adaptability, and the capacity to flow or transfer across areas.

Conclusion I, "The knowledge is interdisciplinary," aligns with this metaphorical representation, suggesting knowledge is not confined to a single domain but can be applied across different fields, much like water taking the shape of its container.

Conclusion II, "The knowledge is bound within a specific area," contradicts the analogy of water's ability to flow and adapt, implying that knowledge is not rigidly confined.

Conclusion III, "The knowledge influences the core of mental activity directly," does not directly follow from the statements provided, which focus more on the nature of knowledge's spread rather than its effect on mental activity.

Given the analysis Only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Only conclusion I follows.".

All four statements, A, B, C, and D, are logically equivalent. Here's why:

Key Points

Understanding statements:

• "Some apes are not non-monkeys." This means at least one ape exists that is not classified as a non-monkey.
• "Some monkeys are not non-apes." This means at least one monkey exists that is not classified as a non-ape.
• "Some monkeys are apes." This directly claims that some monkeys belong to the category of apes.
• "Some apes are monkeys." This states that some apes also belong to the category of monkeys.

Logical equivalence:

• These statements are equivalent because they all convey the same information about the potential overlap between the categories of apes and monkeys. While some statements (C and D) explicitly express overlap, others (A and B) do so by negating the category of "non-apes" and "non-monkeys," ultimately implying the same possibility of shared members.

Therefore, all four statements are logically equivalent, meaning they share the same truth value under any interpretation of the categories "ape" and "monkey."

Concept used:

Income = Expenditure + Savings

Calculations:

The ratio of expenditure and savings of a person is 5 ∶ 3

Let the expenditure of person be Rs.500 and savings be Rs. 300

Income = Expenditure + Savings

Income = 500 + 300 = 800

Now. the income is increased by 25% and expenditure is increased by 30%

New Income = 800 × (125/100) = 1000

New Expenditure = 500 × (130/100) = 650

⇒ New Savings = 1000 – 650 = 350

∴ Percentage change = {(350 – 300)/300} × 100 = 16.66%

‘शोषित’ का विलोम है ‘पोषित’, ‘पोषक’ का विलोम है ‘शोषक’ तथा ‘पोसक’ निरर्थक शब्द है| अतः सही विकल्प 'पोषक' है|

विशेष -

विलोम शब्द -

RGY: OEV

GPS: DNP

Similarly,

? : MKP

Hence, the correct answer is "PMS".

The relationship between the first pair of words "Timid : Bold" is that they are antonyms (opposites) of each other.

• Timid means to be shy or lacking in self-confidence, while Bold means having a strong, confident, or courageous demeanor.

Similarly;

The antonym for Aggressive is Docile which means peaceful and easy to influence or control.

Hence, the correct answer is "Docile".

Formula Used:

If a unit of X with per unit price A and b unit of Y with unit price B is given,

then unit price of their mixture is a (aA + bB) ÷ (a + b)

Calculation:

Selling Price of mixture = Rs. 153

Let Cost Price be Rs. y.

Profit Percentage = 20%

⇒ 20 = (153 - y)/y × 100

⇒ 20y = 153 × 100 -100y

⇒ 120y = 153 × 100

⇒ y = 153 × 100 ÷ 120 = 127.5

Let quantity of type 1 tea bought by shopkeeper be x kg.

Cost Price of Type 1 tea = Rs. 125 × x

Cost Price of Type 2 tea = 13 × 145 = Rs. 1885

Cost Price of Mixture = (1885 + 125x) ÷ (13+x)

⇒ 127.5 = (1885 + 125x) ÷ (13+x)

⇒ 127.5 × 13 + 127.5x = 1885 +125x

⇒ 2.5x = 1885 - 1657.5 = 227.5

⇒ x = 227.5 ÷ 2.5 = 91

Hence, quantity of type 1 tea bought by shopkeeper be 91 kg.

The logic followed here is:

'FRIGHT’ is written as ‘FOCQED',

‘SHREDS’ is written as ‘OEPPAB’

Similarly, for 'UPSETS'

So, 'UPSETS' will be written as 'PMRPQB'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is: Each image is moving upside down and a new image is inserted in series after 2 image.

So, image 4 will come next in the following series.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.

According to the question, R = 5% = 1/20

Total Principal = (20 × 20) x = 400x

⇒ 6800 = 400x

⇒ x = 17

⇒ (21 × 21) x = 441x

⇒ I = A - P = 441x - 400x = 41x

⇒ I = 41 × 17 = 697

∴ The compound interest is 697.

Alternate Method Formula used:

A = P × (1 + R / 100)n

A = Amount, P = Principal,

R = Rate of Interest, n = Year

Calculation:

A = 6800 × (1 + 5/100)²

⇒ A = 6800 × (105/100) × (105/100)

⇒ A = 7497

⇒ I = 7497 - 6800 = Rs 697

∴ The compound interest is 697.

Given,

Dhawan plans to buy a flat at Shyamla Society.

Shyamala Society has placed the following conditions for allotment of flats in its society:

Applicant:

(I). State domicile certificate must be submitted.

(II). Must have done a job of at least 5 years.

(III). If needed, he will be ready to pay the entire amount in 5 years.

(IV). Should not be the owner or co-owner (if spouse) of the residential facility in that city

(V). Should not be below 35 years of age as on 31 December 2016.

Information about Dhawan,

Dhawan is an industrialist and from another state who established his factory in 2000 and has a state residence certificate. He is ready to pay the full amount in 4 years if necessary. He does not have a house in that city but his wife has a flat. His date of birth is 11 November 1970.

Here we see Dhawan's wife has a flat in that city.

Therefore, the Shyamala Society will not allot flat to Dhawan as his wife has a flat in the same city.

Hence, the correct answer is Do not allot flat.
