The cost of a diamond varies directly as the square of its weight. Once, this diamond broke into four pieces with weights in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3 : 4. When the pieces were sold, the merchant got Rs. 70,000 less. Find the original price of the diamond.

Detailed Solution for SSC MTS Mock Test - 4 - Question 2

Cost ∝ Weight2
Let original weight = 10x
Then, original cost = 100x2k (where k is proportionality constant)
After breakage weight = 1x + 2x + 3x + 4x
After breakage cost = kx2(1 + 4 + 9 + 16) = 30x2k
Now, (100 - 30)x2k = 70,000
Or, 70x2k = 70,000
Or, x2k = 1,000
Hence, original cost = 100x2k
= 100 × 1,000 = Rs. 1,00,000

A sum of Rs. 735 was divided among A, B and C. If each of them had received Rs. 25 less, then their shares would have been in the ratio 1 : 3 : 2. What is the money received by C?

Detailed Solution for SSC MTS Mock Test - 4 - Question 3

Suppose after the reduction of Rs. 25, the shares of A, B and C are x, 3x and 2x, respectively.
Total money = 6x (after reduction)
Initially, share (A) + share (B) + share (C) = 735 … (1)
After reduction,
share (A) - 25 + share (B) - 25 + share (C) - 25 = 6x
⇒ share (A) + share (B) + share (C) - 75 = 6x ... (2)
From (1) and (2), we get
⇒ 735 - 75 = 6x
⇒ x = 660/6 = 110
Now, after deduction, C has, 2x = 2 × 110 = Rs. 220.
Before deduction, C had, 220 + 25 = Rs. 245

The radius of the middle marble is
Detailed Solution for SSC MTS Mock Test - 4 - Question 4


Let X be the vertex of the cone and let CX = P, r3 = 8 cm, r1 = 18 cm.
Let A, B and C be the centres of largest, middle and smallest spheres.
Let their radii be r1 (largest), r2 (middle) and r3 (smallest), such that
XC = P ... (1)
XB = P + r3 + r2..(2)
AX = P + r3 + 2r2 + r1 ... (3)
Applying rule of similarity triangle, we have

From equation (2) we get,

From equation (3) we get,
5K = 13 + r2........ (5)
Solving equation (4) and equation (5), we get r2 = 12 cm

SSC MTS Mock Test - 4 - Question 7
Save

A major telecom company recently hired a new Chief Financial Officer to take command of the company’s finances. This move came against the backdrop of national and global economic crises.
The CFO is charged with the responsibility of realigning the finances of the largest Strategic Business Unit which deals with network solutions to major corporate clients in the country. In wake of the overall financial slump, many of the corporate clients have been delaying the payment of their recurring dues for the monthly network and internet services utilised. The local account managers handling those clients and their respective Regional Managers had been given the authority to maintain client relations and if necessary allow the delayed payments with a view to continue a long-term relationship with the key clients. However, the new CFO after taking stock of the situation decided to put an affirmative end to this practice. He sent a mail to every regional and local account manager asking them to discontinue services to the defaulting clients. In spite of such a strong communication, most major clients delayed the payments in the next month. As a response to this, the CFO resent his earlier mail asking for comments. In the next month, the single largest client defaulted on the payment and the regional manager promptly asked the technology company to terminate services to that client. The regional manger merely informed the client that the delay in payment was responsible for the termination of services and the service would be reconstituted on payment of the dues.


The client faced severe difficulties due to discontinuation of the internet and local network services. The CEO of that company wrote a scathing email to the Chairman of the telecom company.
The CEO pointed out the sudden, mishandled and improperly communicated decision and its severe impact on his company’s business. He pointed out that they were one of the largest clients of the telecom company. The CEO also hinted that his company would want to reconsider their future engagement. The Chairman decided to maintain the relations with that important client and yet protect his company’s image. He promptly restarted the network services and yet requested the client to clear the dues within a week and to avoid major delays especially in these times of crisis. The client replied to this communication, agreeing to the specified norms. However, the Chairman decided to severely reprimand the Regional Manager and suspended him for 2 weeks. He also severely questioned the CFO for his error. At the next board of directors meeting, there was support for the Chairman’s action in spite of protests by some senior directors who defended the CFO and the Regional Manager's actions.

 

 

Q. How can the Chairman’s order of suspending the Regional Manager be justified to the board?
Detailed Solution for SSC MTS Mock Test - 4 - Question 7

Solution: The Chairman attributed the actual responsibility of effectively communicating the need for prompt payment on the Regional Manager. The Regional Manager had the option of forcefully defending the client’s importance to the CFO and also communicating the CFO’s stand to the client. Most importantly the discontinuation of services without proper intimation was incorrect. The arbitrariness of that decision was improper. Options 1 and 2 appear correct at first glance, but are however not genuine. Both the options cannot be justified as being correct reasons for suspending the Regional Manager. Here, we have to assume the business acumen of the Chairman. Option 4 are sub-part of the bigger issue- which has been encapsulated in option 3. Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

With reference to the outcomes observed in the decade following the LPG reforms initiated in India in 1991, consider the following statements.
1. It led to rapid increase in FDI and forex reserves.
2. It led to increase in the GDP growth of the Indian economy.
3. It led to lower growth rate in manufacturing industries.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Detailed Solution for SSC MTS Mock Test - 4 - Question 17
  • In 1991, India met with an economic crisis relating to its external debt — the government was not able to make repayments on its borrowings from abroad; foreign exchange reserves, which we generally maintain to import petrol and other important items, dropped to levels that were not sufficient for even a fortnight. The crisis was further compounded by rising prices of essential goods. India approached the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), popularly known as World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and received $7 billion as a loan to manage the crisis. For availing the loan, these international agencies expected India to liberalise and open up the economy by removing restrictions on the private sector, reduce the role of the government in many areas and remove trade restrictions. This led to Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization, popularly known as LPG reforms.
  • Outcomes of reforms: The growth of GDP increased from 5.6 per cent during 1980-91 to 6.4 per cent during 1992-2001. This shows that there has been an increase in the overall GDP growth in the reform period. Hence statement 2 is correct.
  • The opening up of the economy has led to rapid increase in foreign direct investment and foreign exchange reserves. The foreign investment, which includes foreign direct investment and foreign institutional investment, increased from about US $ 100 million in 1990-91 to US $ 150 billion in 2003-04. There has been an increase in the foreign exchange reserves from about US $ 6 billion in 1990- 91 to US $ 125 billion in 2004-05. Hence statement 1 is correct.

A sentence has been given in Active/Passive Voice. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Passive/Active Voice.

By that time, Vikash Ranjan was elected Mayor of the city by the people for three times.
Detailed Solution for SSC MTS Mock Test - 4 - Question 24
  • The 'voice' of a verb tells us whether the subject of the sentence performs or receives the action.
  •  The given sentence is in the passive voice.
  • While changing a sentence from passive voice to active voice, the object and subject are interchanged with each other, i.e. object of the passive sentence becomes the subject of the active sentence and vice versa. Their cases also change accordingly.
  • Here, 'Vikash Ranjan' is the subject, 'was elected' and 'the people' is the object.
  • The given sentence follows the following sentence format and will convert as it has been given next:
  • Passive voice: Subject + was/were (*depending on the subject) + past participle (+ by object).
  • Active voice: Subject (*object of the passive sentence) + simple past verb + object (*subject of the passive sentence).
  • For example, 'The vase was broken by his son.' ⇒ 'His son broke the vase.'
  • So, the given sentence in active is as follows: 'By that time, the people elected Vikash Ranjan Mayor of the city for three times.'

Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Direction: The sentences given in the question, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labeled with a letter. Choose the most logical order of sentences from the given choices to construct a coherent paragraph.

A. These chemicals break an essential part of a bacterial cell, but they usually break the same part of human cells too.

B. This is the key to antibiotic function: exploiting the fact that bacteria are similar to human cells without being identical.

C. This makes medical antiseptics terrible antibiotics, as their use in high concentrations may cause tissue damage or slow wound healing.

D. Luckily, sometimes there are bacterial parts not found in humans, or if they are, they are very different.

E. It’s relatively easy to find new antiseptics, which can kill microbes on the skin and the surface of tissues.
Detailed Solution for SSC MTS Mock Test - 4 - Question 25

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.

SSC MTS Mock Test - 4 - Question 26

Direction: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:

Paragraph 1: It is difficult to recognise the new generation of terrorists as a mere extension of the earlier lot of radical Islamist terrorists who were influenced by the teachings of Islamist preachers and theologians. There is less theology today and the new age terrorist seems to belong to an altogether different genre of terrorism.

Paragraph 2: A large number of terror attacks in the past three years have been attributed to the handiwork of the Islamic State (IS), and reveal its leaning towards the “nihilism” of Sayyid Qutb. It is this which distinguishes the IS from many of the other radical Islamist groups such as al-Qaeda and its affiliates. The IS’s recruitment techniques, especially its ability to proselytise over the Internet, including “direct to home jihad” as also its more sanguinary brand of violence, set it apart from earlier variants of radical Islamist terror.

Paragraph 3: Even while the IS has gained a great deal of prominence due to its brand of violence, other terror networks have continued to be no less active. For example, Al-Qaeda and its affiliates. Boko Haram in Africa has been responsible for more killings than most people would realise. Closer home, the Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani network have carried out several spectacular attacks inside Afghanistan. The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi have carried out several attacks inside Pakistan. Pakistan provides the wherewithal and the support to terror outfits such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Jaish-e-Mohammad to launch well-planned attacks on Indian targets.

Paragraph 4: Most of these outfits continue to adopt earlier methodologies. These have proved no less effective than those followed by the IS. The terror attack on a mosque in North Sinai, Egypt in November this year, which killed over 230 persons, is one such example. In December, the TTP was responsible for a terror attack on an agricultural training institute in Peshawar, Pakistan. Differences among terror outfits do not, however, preclude a complicated pattern of relationships when it comes to operational aspects.

Q. As per paragraph 4, which of the following is true with respect to earlier methodologies adopted by terror outfits?

I. Such methods are no longer followed.
II. Such methods are as effective as the newer ones.
III. Such methods are followed by upcoming groups in various countries
