The sum of the factors of a number is 124. What is the number?

Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 2 - Question 1

Any number of the form paqbrc will have (a + 1) (b + 1)(c + 1) factors, where p, q, r are prime. (This is a very important idea) 
For any number N of the form paqbrc, the sum of the factors will (1+p1+p2+…+pa)(1+q1+q2+…+qb) (1+r1+r2+…+rc)
Sum of factors of number N is 124. 124 can be factorized as 22 × 31. It can be written as 4 × 31, or 2 × 62 or 1 × 124.
2 cannot be written as (1+p1+p2+…+pa) for any value of p.
4 can be written as (1 + 3)
So, we need to see if 31 can be written in that form.
The interesting bit here is that 31 can be written in two different ways.
= 31= (1+21+22+23+24) 
= 31= (1+5+52) 
Or, the number N can be 3×24 or 3×52. Or N can be 48 or 75.
So, more than one such number exists.

Read the information given below carefully and answer.

Cyber vulnerabilities within nuclear weapons systems and structures present a whole set of dangers and risks. At best, cyber insecurity in nuclear weapons systems is likely to undermine trust and confidence in military capabilities and in the nuclear weapons infrastructure. At worst, cyber attacks could lead to deliberate misinformation and the inadvertent launch of nuclear weapons.

Q. Which among the following is the most logical, rational and critical inference that can be made from the above passage?

Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 2 - Question 2

(a) is correct as the passage essentially highlights the risks insecure cyber nuclear systems possess with the best case scenario being loss of trust on the military and worst being the launch of a nuclear weapon which the statement captures essentially.
(b) is incorrect as the passage does not mention all nuclear countries being exposed to risks and hence, it cannot be deduced from the passage.
(c) is incorrect as the statement makes definitive claims - complete nuclear safety and no misuse, without passage confirming the same. Passage says insecure cyber security may lead to misuse but ensuring complete safety cannot be inferred.
(d) is incorrect as the passage does not comment in general about the performance of the world related to cyber security in nuclear systems. Hence, it cannot be inferred from the passage.

Read the information given below carefully and answer.

Because of its accuracy in outlining the Earth‘s subsurface, the seismic-reflection method remains the most important tool in the search for petroleum reserves. In field practice, a subsurface is mapped by arranging a series of wave-train sources, such as small dynamite explosions, in a grid pattern. As each source is activated, it generates a wave train that moves downward at a speed determined uniquely by the rock‘s elastic characteristics. As rock interfaces are crossed, the elastic characteristics encountered generally change abruptly, which causes part of the energy to be reflected back to the surface, where it is recorded by seismic instruments. The seismic records must be processed to correct for positional differences between the source and the receiver, for unrelated wave trains, and for multiple reflections from the rock interfaces. Then the data acquired at each of the specific source locations are combined to generate a physical profile of the subsurface, which can eventually be used to select targets for drilling.

Q. The passage is primarily concerned with

Find the lowest 4-digit number which when divided by 3, 4 or 5 leaves a remainder of 2 in each case?
Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 2 - Question 4

Lowest 4-digit number is 1000.
LCM of 3, 4 and 5 = |3, 4, 5 
As we saw above no two numbers are divisible by common factor so their LCM is their 
product.
LCM of 3, 4 and 5 = 3 x 4 x 5 = 60.
Dividing 1000 by 60, we get the remainder 40.
Thus, the lowest 4-digit number that exactly divisible by 3, 4 and 5 is 1000 + (60 - 40) = 1020.
Now, add the remainder 2 that's required. Thus, the answer is (1020 + 2 = 1022).

Read the information given below carefully and answer the following question.

Almost a decade after the onset of the global financial crisis, national debt in advanced economies remains near its highest level since World War II, averaging 104 percent of GDP. Without measures either to cut spending or increase revenue, the situation will only get worse. As central banks abandon the extraordinary monetary measures, they adopted to battle the crisis, interest rates will inevitably rise from historic lows. That means interest payments will eat up a growing share of government spending, leaving less money to deliver public services or take steps to ensure long term economic growth, such as investing in infrastructure and education. Servicing debt will become a major burden.

This passage relates to
Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 2 - Question 8

(a) is incorrect as rising interest payments is one of the implications of rising public debt and the passage only deals with advanced economies and not the whole world.
(b) is incorrect as the passage does not talk about developing countries.
(c) is incorrect as the passage mentions poor public spending as an implication of high national debt in advanced economies. It does not relate only to poor public spending in advanced economies.
(d) is correct as the passage essentially highlights the problems created by high national debts in advanced economies. This is the best option among the options given. Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.

Read the information given below carefully and answer the following question.

The world faces a looming water disaster, one that could dry out our food systems. Even as climate change disrupts rainfall patterns, global water demand is projected to increase by 55% by 2050. While agriculture is not the only driver of increased water demand, the world's growing population will need more food, putting further strain on already limited water resources - resources that do not enter into the market value of the food on our plates. This scarcity of water can in turn cause shortage of food supply in the world.

Q. Which of the following is most rational inference from the above passage?
Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 2 - Question 10

(a) is incorrect as the passage says nothing about controlling population. Population growth is presented as more of a natural phenomenon.
(b) is correct as the passage first highlights the water scarcity issue and its link to food systems. Then it talks about how rising population and agricultural demand to some extent put stress on water resources which in turn can cause food shortage.
(c) is incorrect as it goes to the extent of predicting doom for the world which cannot be inferred from the passage.
(d) is incorrect as the passage does not suggest the need for charging money for water usage. Hence, it cannot be inferred from the passage.

Read the following 1 Passage and answer the items that follow. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only.

Recently some scientists have concluded that meteorites found on Earth and long believed to have a Martian origin might actually have been blasted free of Mars’s gravity by the impact on Mars of other meteorites. This conclusion has led to another question whether meteorite impacts on Earth have similarly driven rocks from this planet to Mars. According to astronomer S. A. Phinney, kicking a rock hard enough to free it from Earth’s gravity would require a meteorite capable of making a crater more than 60 miles across. Moreover, even if Earth rocks were freed by meteorite impact, Mars’s orbit is much larger than Earth, So Phinney estimates that the probability of these rocks hitting Mars is about one-tenth as great as that of Mars’s rocks hitting Earth. To demonstrate this estimate, Phinney used a computer to calculate where 1,000 hypothetical particles would go if ejected from Earth in random directions. He found that 17 of the 1,000 particles would hit Mars.

(a) If the question can be answered by using one of the statements alone, but cannot be answered by using the statement alone.
(b) if the question can be answered by using either of the statements alone.

Q. If ‘X’ is an integer such that 10 < X < 100, what is the value of ‘X’?
I. One of the digits of ‘X’ is 4 more than the other, and the sum of its digits is 10.
II. X > 60.
Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 2 - Question 14

Let X = pq = 10p + q.
Using statement І:
Case 1:
p + q = 10 and p = q + 4,
Solving, we get, q = 3 and p = 7, i.e. X = 73.
Case 2:
p + q = 10 and q = p + 4,
Solving, we get, p = 3 and q = 7, i.e. X = 37.
So, ‘X’ is either 73 or 37.
Using statement ІІ:
X > 60. We can see that obviously statement II alone is not sufficient.
Combining the information given in both the statements together, we get a unique value of ‘X’, i.e. X = 73.
Hence, by combining both statement І and statement ІІ together, we can answer the question.

Read the information given below carefully and answer the following question.

Preclinical testing in animals can offer information about a drug’s safety and effectiveness before human testing begins, but those tests may not reveal potential side effects. Furthermore, drugs that work in animals often fail in human trials. It has become increasingly difficult to perform animal experiments, because of issues related to the procurement of animals, and strict regulations and ethical issues related to their use. As a result, it is felt that the teaching of pharmacology should be more clinically oriented and that unnecessary animal experimentation should be avoided. Although a number of computer simulation models (CSMs) are available, they are not being widely used.

Q. Which among the following is the most logical corollary to the above passage?
Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 2 - Question 29

The passage does not discuss the measure of banning preclinical animal trials. Therefore, option (a) is incorrect.
Option (b) is correct since the passage is focused on mitigating preclinical animal trials and promoting alternative methods such as CSMs.

The passage never claimed that publishing will become entirely digital. Hence, option (a) is incorrect.
Option (b) can be negated because of its absolute assertion that e-book market will always be confined which can’t be deduced from the passage. Hence, option (b) is incorrect.
The passage never highlighted any reliance of digital devices on digital publishing. Therefore, option (c) can’t be deduced from the passage. Hence, (c) is incorrect.
