SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 4

Which of the following two signs should be interchanged to make the following equation correct?
40 + 10 ÷ 2 × 8 - 17 = 17

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 4

40 + 10 ÷ 2 × 8 - 17 = 17
After interchanging '+' and '-', we get:
40 - 10 ÷ 2 × 8 + 17 = 17
40 - 5 × 8 + 17 = 17
40 - 40 + 17 = 17
17 = 17
Thus, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 5
In a code language, PAINTER is written as SCLPWGU. How will WRITER be written in the same language?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 11
Let the fraction be 1/x.

5x2 + 2 - 7x = 0
5x2 - 5x - 2x + 2 = 0
5x(x - 1) - 2(x - 1) = 0
(x - 1)(5x - 2) = 0
x = 1, 2/5
Thus, the required fraction is 5/2.

SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 12
lf a + b + c = 11 and ab + bc + ca = 38, then a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc is equal to:
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 12
Given: a + b + c = 11 and ab + bc + ac = 38
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)
a2 + b2 + c2 = (a + b + c)2 - 2(ab + bc + ca)
a2 + b2 + c2 = (11)2 - 2(38)
a2 + b2 + c2 = 121 - 76
a2 + b2 + c2 = 45
a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca)
a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = (11){45 - (ab + bc + ca)}
a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = (11)(45 - 38)
a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = 11 × 7
a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc= 77
SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 13

The ratio of the total production of type A cars in 2015 and type B cars in 2014 taken together to the production of type C cars in 2017 and type E cars in 2018 taken together is

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 13

Total production of type A cars in 2015 = 56
Total production of type B cars in 2014 = 48
Total production of type A and type B cars in 2015 and 2014, respectively = 56 + 48 = 104
Total production of type C cars in 2017 = 57
Total production of type E cars in 2018 = 60
Total production of type C and type E cars in 2017 and 2018, respectively = 57 + 60 = 117
The ratio of the total production of type A cars in 2015 and type B cars in 2014 taken together to the production of type C cars in 2017 and type E cars in 2018 taken together
= 104 : 117
= 8 : 9

SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 14

The total production of type D cars during 2015-2017 is what percent less than the total production of type E cars during 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018 taken together?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 14

Total number of cars of type D from 2015 to 2017 = 140
Total number of cars of type E during 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018 taken together = 200
Cars of type E - Cars of type D = 200 - 140 = 60 cars
Required percentage = = 30%

SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 15

The total production of type C cars in 2015 and type E cars in 2018 taken together is what percent of the total production of cars in 2014 and 2017 taken together?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 15

According to question:
Total production of type C cars in 2015 = 42
Total production of type E cars in 2018 = 60
So, total number of cars = 42 + 60 = 102 cars
Total production of cars in 2014 = 210 cars
Total production of cars in 2017 = 300 cars
Total production of cars in 2014 and 2017 = 510 cars
Percentage of cars production of type C and E = (102/510) x 100 = 20%
So, the answer is 20%.

SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 16
A is 40% more efficient than B and C is 20% less efficient than B. Working together, they can complete a task in 20 hours. In how many hours will A alone complete 35% of that task?
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 16
Let the efficiency of B be x.
Efficiency of A = 1.4x
Efficiency of C = 0.8x
ATQ,
20(x + 1.4x + 0.8x) = 1
x = 1/64
Efficiency of A = 1.4/64 = 7/320
Hours to complete full task = 320/7
Hours to complete 35% task = 0.35 × (320/7) = 16
SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 17

The radii of the two circular faces of the frustum of a cone are 5 cm and 4 cm. If the height of the frustum is 21 cm, what is its volume in cm3?  (π = 22/7)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 17

Volume of the frustum = ; where R and r are the radii of two bases
=
= 22(25 + 16 + 20)
= 22 × 61
= 1342 cm3

SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 18

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 18
Distance between stations A and B
=
= = 18 km
SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 19
The expression (a + b - c)3 + (a - b + c)3 - 8a3 is equal to:
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 19
Let (a + b - c) = A, (a - b + c) = B and -2a = C
(a + b - c)3 + (a - b + c)3 - 8a3
= (A)3 + (B)3 - (C)3
As A + B + C = a + b - c + a - b + c - 2a = 0
(A3 + B3 + C3 = 3ABC when A + B + C = 0)
A3 + B3 + C3 = 3ABC
= 3(a + b - c) (a - b + c) (-2a)
= 6a(a - b + c) (c - a - b)
SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 20
If the radius of a right circular cylinder is decreased by 10%, and the height is increased by 20%, then the percentage increase/decrease in its volume is:
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 20
Volume of right circular cylinder = πr2h
Radius of a right circular cylinder is decreased by 10% and the height is increased by 20%.
So,
r1 = r × 90/100 = 0.9r
h1 = h × 120/100 = 1.2h
Volume of new right circular cylinder = π(r1)2(h1) = π(0.9r)2 (1.2h) = 0.972(πr2h)
Decrement in volume = πr2h - 0.972 (πr2h) = 0.028(πr2h)
Percentage decrement in volume = [0.028(πr2h)/(πr2h)] × 100 = 2.8%
Hence, answer option 4 is correct.
