NVS Junior Secretariat Assistant Mock Test - 7 - NVS TGT/PGT MCQ

Hence, option A is correct.

25% of A + 50% of B = 90% of B
25% of A = 40% of B

62.50% of A = B
Hence, Option D is correct.

Let AB be the building and the man is standing at A.

When the car is 200m away from the building, the angle of depression is 60°

tan 60° = BD/AB = √3

⇒ 200/AB = √3

⇒ AB = 115.47 m

⇒ tan30° =BC/AB = x/115.47 = 1/√3

⇒ x = 66.67

Now, the car travels distance CD in 8 seconds

 CD = BD – BC = 200 – 66.67 = 133.33 m

 Speed = 133.33/8 = 16.67 m/s

Since, the ratio of speeds is 3:5, the ratio of times would be 5:3. The difference in the times
would be 2 (if looked at in the 5:3 ratio context.) Further, since Ram takes 30 minutes longer, 2
corresponds to 30. Hence, using unitary method, 5 will correspond to 75 and 3 will correspond to
45 minutes. Hence at 10 kmph, Bharat would travel 7.5 km.

Cryptography technique is used in Protection
Cryptography is a technique used to secure and protect sensitive information by converting it into an unreadable format. It involves the use of mathematical algorithms to encrypt and decrypt data. Here's how cryptography is used in protection:
1. Data Encryption: Cryptography is used to encrypt data, making it unreadable to unauthorized individuals. The encrypted data can only be decrypted using the correct encryption key or password.
2. Secure Communication: Cryptography is used to secure communication channels by encrypting the data transmitted between two parties. This ensures that the information remains confidential and cannot be intercepted or tampered with.
3. Authentication: Cryptography is used in authentication processes to verify the identity of individuals or systems. It allows for the creation of digital signatures, which can be used to ensure the integrity and authenticity of messages or documents.
4. Secure Storage: Cryptography is used to protect data stored in various systems or devices. It ensures that even if the data is compromised or stolen, it remains encrypted and unusable without the encryption key.
5. Access Control: Cryptography is used in access control mechanisms to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access. It allows for the secure storage and transmission of passwords and other authentication credentials.
In conclusion, cryptography plays a crucial role in protecting sensitive information and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data. It is used in various applications such as secure communication, data encryption, authentication, secure storage, and access control.
