SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 13 - SSC CGL MCQ

Time taken = 1 hr 40 min 48 sec = 1 hr (40 + 4/5) min = 1 + 51/75 hrs = 126/75 hrs
Let the actual speed be x km/hr
Then, (5/7) * x * (126/75) = 42
⇒ x = 42 * 7 * (75 / 5) * 126
⇒ x = 35 km/hr

Explanation:

I.(a - 3)(a - 4) = 0
=> a = 3, 4

II. (b - 2)(b - 1) = 0
=> b = 1, 2
=> a > b

From (i) and (ii), we have : K > M > A > S.
This indicates both K > S and S < M which are given in (iii) and (iv).
Thus, both (iii) and (iv) are superfluous.

Here, we know that Vikram was ninth from the left while Hariom was thirteenth from the left. So, we can say that there were 3 persons between Vikram and Hariom.
And, we also know that Hariom was exactly in the middle of Vikram and Janhvi so the number of persons between Hariom and Janhvi will also be 3.
At this point, using the given information we can create a following figure:

Now, total number of people in the queue = (8 + Vikram + 3 + Hariom + 3 + Janhvi + 7)
= (8 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 1 + 7) = 24
Thus, the total number of people in the queue was 24.
Hence, the correct answer is option D.

So Option C is correct

The ‘Court’ referred to in sentences A and D is, clearly, the International Criminal Court mentioned in sentence C. So, C precedes A and D, as it sets the context.

Sentence C talks of Africans becoming “suspicious"? due to the International Criminal Court’s record of juridical interventions in Africa. What follows C? Both A and D seem to be good choices. Only sentence B seems completely unrelated to C.

Sentence A states that it is “no less concerning"? that the Court acts in cooperation with its “North Atlantic backers"?. Sentence D too makes a reference to “that concern"?, saying that the Court’s first extra-African investigation does not do much to soothe it. Further, D states that the South Ossetia investigation is “of a piece with" (similar to) the Court’s earlier interventions in Africa. Why so? There is no explanation to this in sentence C. But the reference to the concern that the Court acts in concert with its North Atlantic backers, stated in sentence A, does provide the link. It is clear D follows A. Note that sentence C merely talks of a suspicion, it is sentence A that brings up the “concern"? and D elaborates on that concern.

Sentence B sheds light on why investigation in South Ossetia, the first one outside of Africa, is “of a piece with"? the Court’s earlier interventions. It reproduces the Western narrative of Russian aggression.

CADB makes a cogent paragraph.

The question is " Arrange the sentences in the correct order "
The order is CADB

Hence, the answer is CADB
Choice A is the correct answer.

D and E are the only possibilities to begin the paragraph.

Sentence D states that "luckily" there are bacterial parts not found or different from those in humans. Now, of the given sentences, only B seems to relate to the idea of bacterial cells not being identical to human cells. B seems to draw a conclusion based on information stated in D. So, DB is a link.

Now consider sentence E. It talks of how antiseptics work by killing microbes on the skin and tissue surfaces. We see that sentence C too refers to antiseptics. But the idea in C that antiseptics make terrible antibiotics is not obvious from E. Which of the given sentences explains why antiseptics make terrible antibiotics? Only A does: while "these chemicals" break an essential part of a bacterial cell, they also damage human cells in the process. EAC is a link.

Now, EACDB is a better order than DBEAC, as the flow of ideas in the former is more logical. Antiseptics are relatively easy to find, but the way they work means that they cannot be used in high concentrations. But luckily, some parts of bacterial cells are different from human cells and this is the fact that antibiotics exploit.

The question is " Arrange the sentences in the correct order "
The order is EACDB

Hence, the answer is EACDB
Choice A is the correct answer.
