Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Civil Engineering (CE)- 11 - Question 2
Option A: Serendipity is the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way. ‘Plaid shirt’ is made up of flannel and worn during the winter.

Option B: Profanity is socially offensive language, which may also be called bad or offensive language. ‘Profanity of a moment’ makes no sense. Therefore, this option can’t be used.

Option C: Penchant is a strong or habitual liking for something or tendency to do something. ‘Penchant of a moment’ makes no sense. Therefore, this option can’t be used.

Option D: Predilection is a preference or special liking for something; a bias in favour of something. ‘Slurry’ is a thin sloppy mud or cement or, in extended use, any fluid mixture of a pulverized solid with a liquid usually water, often used as a convenient way of handling solids in bulk. Thus, this option makes no sense in the context of the sentence.

Therefore, option a is the apt answer.

Analogy = Situation: Appearance. None of the options accept A showcase any situation. Hence A is the right one. The word moment is present in the question, hence any word which suits situation would be the right option.

Practice Test: Civil Engineering (CE)- 11 - Question 7

An article is sold with a certain profit percentage such that selling the same at one-third price, there will be a loss of 60%. Find the certain profit percentage.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Civil Engineering (CE)- 11 - Question 7

Let the selling price of the article =Rs.x

If the article is sold in 1/3 price, then selling price =Rs.x/3 and loss =60%

So, the cost price of the article = Rs.( x/3 ) × (100/40) = Rs. (5x/6) Then, profit earned by selling the article at Rs. x = Rs. x – (5x/6) = Rs.x/6

∴ The required profit percentage = [(x/6)/ (5x/6) × 100]% = 20%.

Alternatively:-

Say CP = 100 Rs. say profit X%

SP = 100 + X

New SP = (100 + X)/3 = 100 - 60

X = 20

Alternative Method: (Easier Method)

Let cost price =100 (Because percentages are mentioned here, and the highest number will be 100)

Loss = 60%

Selling price = 40

Actual selling price = 3 × 40 = 120

Profit = 20 %

Practice Test: Civil Engineering (CE)- 11 - Question 8

Rs. 200 are divided among Arun, Bholu and Chetan such that Arun's share is Rs. 30 more than Bholu's and Rs. 20 less than Chetan's. What is Bholu's share?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Civil Engineering (CE)- 11 - Question 8

It is given that Rs. 200 divided among Arun, Bholu and Chetan

Let Bholu’s share = X Rs.

Arun’s Share = X +30 Rs

Chetan’s Share = X+30+20 = X+50

Now, Arun+ Bholu+ Chetan = (X+30) +(X) +(X+50) = 200

3X = 200 – 80

X = 120/3

X = 40

Bholu’s share is 40 Rs.

Hence, (b) is correct option.

Practice Test: Civil Engineering (CE)- 11 - Question 9

Average marks in a test conducted in a class of 24 students gave the average score as 56. It was detected that while computing the average, marks of 3 students were taken as 46, 47 and 43 instead of 64, 74 and 34 respectively. Which of the following is the most appropriate description of the percentage by which the class average goes up now?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Civil Engineering (CE)- 11 - Question 9

The increase in total marks of the class is (64–46)+(74–47)+(34–43) = 36

The average goes up by 36/24 = 1.5 marks

Increase in %age terms = 1.5 x 100/56 = 2.67%.

So, option d is correct.

Practice Test: Civil Engineering (CE)- 11 - Question 10

Present average age of Kanika and Shweta is ‘x’ years. Ratio of the age of Kanika one year ago to the age of Monika four year hence will be 1: 2. Present average age of Kanika, Monika and Shweta is 22 years. Find the value of ‘x’ if the present age of Kanika is 16 years.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Civil Engineering (CE)- 11 - Question 10

Present age of Kanika = 16 years

Age of Kanika one year ago = 16 – 1 = 15 years

Age of Monika after four years = 15 × 2 = 30 years

Present age of Monika = 30 – 4 = 26 years

Sum of the present ages of Kanika, Monika and Shweta = 22 × 3 = 66 years

Present age of Shweta = 66 – 16 – 26 = 24 years

Present average age of Kanika and Shweta = x = (24+16)/2=20 years

So, the value of ‘x’ is 20 years

So option (d) is the correct answer.

Since ρ = ρo e-2t

Hence

-2ρ + ρ.5+ ρ.5+ ρ. λ = 0

-2+5+5+ λ = 0

Hence λ = -8
