SSC CGL English (Tier II) Mock Test - 7 - SSC CGL MCQ

Given:

The medians QT and RS intersect at right angles.

QT = 18 cm, RS = 27 cm

The two medians intersect at G. Hence G is the centroid of the triangle and the centroid divides the median in the ratio 2 : 1

∴ QG : GT = 2 : 1 ⇒ QG = 18 ×  = 12 cm 

Also, RG : GS = 2 : 1 ⇒ GS = 27 × = 9 cm

∴ In ΔGQS, ∠QGS = 90° (∵ medians intersect at 90°)

Using Pythagoras theorem,

∴ The length of QS = 15 cm.

Given,
Profit = 20%
Discount = 20%
Number of articles for free after purchase of 1 dozen article = 4

As we know,

Discount

Let CP of 1 article be Rs. 100.

CP of 16 articles be Rs. 1600.

Now he is selling 4 articles for free after purchase of 12 articles.

So, SP of 12 articles = 120% of CP of 16 articles

= Rs. 160
MP of 1 article after 20% discount on SP 
= Rs. 200

∴ The required percentage is 100%.

Let P = principal, R = rate of interest and N = time period

Compound interest

Given,

Sum = 45000

Ratio of two parts  = 4 : 5

Two parts of sum and

= 20000 and 25000

Given,

Compound interest

= 6620

Given,

Compound interest

= 18200

Total compound interest

∴ Total compound interest is Rs. .

• Least positive multiple of 477 is N = 477.

• Divide 477 by 57: 57 × 8 = 456, remainder = 477 − 456 = 21.

• So remainder is 21.

Given:

Rs. 2000 is compounded at 20% quarterly for 6 months

Formula:  
For compound interest (C.I.), 

When calculating quarterly, rate gets divided by 4 and time gets multiplied by 4.

Calculation:

Rs. 2000 compounded at 20% quarterly for 6 months ⇒ P = 2000, r% = 5%, T = 2

⇒ P = 2000, r% = 5%, T = 2

Therefore the correct answer is Rs. 2205.

As we know,

sin ⁡(45° + x) + sin⁡(45° − x) = sin ⁡45° cos⁡x + cos ⁡45° sin ⁡x + sin⁡ 45° cos⁡ x − cos⁡ 45° sin⁡ x
= 2 sin⁡ 45° cos⁡ x

Let consecutive even numbers and are and .

Consecutive even numbers are and .

Given:

In ΔABC, M is the midpoint of the side AB

N is a point in the interior of ΔABC such that CN is the bisector of ∠C and CN ⊥ NB

BC = 10 cm

AC = 15 cm

Concept used:

Midpoint theorem - The line segment in a triangle joining the midpoint of two sides of the triangle is said to be parallel to its third side and is also half of the length of the third side

Construction: Produce BN to P which meets AC at P.

And Join MN

According to the question

In ΔNPC and ΔNBC

∠N = ∠N  [90°]

BC = PC [corresponding side]

BN = NP [corresponding angle]

⇒ ΔNPC ≅ ΔNBC 

So, NB = NP (It means Point N is the midpoint of side BP)

And BC = PC = 10 cm

So, AP = AC – PC

⇒ AP = (15 – 10) cm

⇒ AP = 5 cm

Now, In ΔABP

M and N are the midpoints of AB and BP

So, According to the midpoint theorem

⇒ MN =

⇒ cm

⇒ 2.5 cm

∴ The length of MN is 2.5 cm.

Given,

Tank 2 was full so to fill tank,

Time taken by R will be = × 30 = 18 minutes

Now, pipe S was opened for 6 minutes, so

Part of tank emptied by pipe S =

Now, part of tank filled =

Now, when pipe P was opened, to fill the remaining part of the tank,

Time taken by P =

= 21.25 minutes

Total time now taken to fill the tank = 6 + 21.25 = 27.25 minutes

Time that could have been saved = 27.25 - 18 = 9.25 minutes

Given,

The length of a rectangle is increased by .

As we know,

The area of the rectangle Length breadth

Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be and .

The original area of the rectangle

New length after increase of

Let the new breadth after decrease to maintain the same area be ,

New area new breadth

According to the question, Both areas should be the same

The difference in breadth

Percentage decrease in breadth

The pattern followed here is:
BLOCK 2 +12 +15 + 3 +11= 43
HOUSE   8 +15 + 21+19 + 5 = 68
So, 68 will be code of HOUSE in same language.

The logic follows here is:

In the first column:

So, the first column fourth row value is "".

In the second column:

So, the second column fourth row value is "".

In the third column:

So, the third column fourth row value is "".

It is appropriate to use in, have, the, a respectively in the blank spaces of the sentence. So the meaningful sentence would be:

There are no sparrows chirping in the cities anymore. All have either died or flown far away as they had no space in the growing concrete jungle. The cunning pigeons have become a menace.

The given passage discusses the importance of analyzing one's own concept to achieve success.
Let us refer to this line from the passage, "Many great people have _______(4)_______ various ways to achieve success."
According to the given sentence, the blank must contain a word that represents 'suggesting various ways to achieve success'.
So, the word 'suggested' fits correctly in the given blank as it means 'put forward for consideration'.
Complete Sentence: Many great people have suggested various ways to achieve success.

According to the passage, "The man going to the bar and the man going to the temple are seeking the same thing! They are looking for fulfilment, but through different means. Both want an experience of life that is a little more intense and pleasurable than it is currently."  

So, it can be concluded that statement (A) is true.

According to the passage, "At present, the stimuli are outside. But once you know that the source of both pleasure and pain, agony and ecstasy are within you, why would you outsource it?"  

So, it can be concluded that statement (B) is true.

The correct order is: RPQS

Reason:

While arranging the parts of the passage, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them-

• ​R is the first sentence as it is introducing the subject 'Galileo' who wanted to become a doctor. 
• P is the second sentence as it describes how he happened to hear a famous Mathematics Professor's speech.
• Q is the third sentence as it means that Galileo was drawn to that speech and got interested in mathematics. 
• S is the last sentence as it concludes how Galileo ended taking up Mathematics and Physics at the University.

The correct sentence is:

Galileo wanted to study medicine and become a doctor. But one day he happened to hear a famous Professor of Mathematics lecture at the University. He got interested in the study of Mathematics. So he took up the study of Mathematics and Physics in the University.
