Detailed Solution for SSC CGL English (Tier II) Mock Test - 8 - Question 1

Let, the required probability is P.

Probability of the following Events:

P(A) = One white ball is drawn from the first bag

P(B) = One black ball is drawn from the first bag.

P(C|A) = One black ball is drawn from the second bag when there are 5 White and 3 black balls.

P(D|B) = One black ball is drawn from the second bag when there are 4 White and 4 black balls.

Case:1 If the white ball is transferred from bag 1 to 2 then

Probability of choosing a black ball from bag 2

P(A) = P(white ball transferred) × P(Ball drawn black) 

Case:2  If the black ball transferred from bag 1 to 2 then

SSC CGL English (Tier II) Mock Test - 8 - Question 2

Two successive discounts, each of x% on the marked price of an article, are equal to a single discount of Rs. 331.20 . If the marked price of the article is Rs. 920 , then find the value of x.

Which part of speech is the word 'Sharp' given in bold in the passage?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL English (Tier II) Mock Test - 8 - Question 18

And nothing short of that would safeguard “passporting” rights for City firms. These allow financial firms in any EU country to sell in any other and matter hugely in banking and asset management.’

As per the underlined statements above, only option A makes sense and conveys the right reason for the importance of the Single market.

SSC CGL English (Tier II) Mock Test - 8 - Question 22

We do not sell stationery at this shop.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL English (Tier II) Mock Test - 8 - Question 22
