SSC Selection Post Mock Test - 9 - SSC Selection Post MCQ

• Prakash lives with his (or her) parents. So, at least 2 people are older than him (or her).
• Qureshi lives with 3 persons younger than him (or her).
• We also know Shabdeesh lives with his mother & is older than at least 2 people living with him. So, his gender is Male & his mother must be Qureshi.
• Now, Rajesh lives with his (or her) son & is not older than Shabdeesh. So, she must be female & wife of Shabdeesh & mother of Prakash.

Conclusions:

1. Qureshi (female) – Mother of Shabdeesh
2. Shabdeesh (male) – Son of Qureshi, Husband of Rajesh & Father of Prakash
3. Rajesh (female) – wife of Shabdeesh & mother of Prakash
4. Prakash (male or female) – son or daughter of Shabdesh & Rajesh

There are a total of 4 people in the house.

Solution: Observe that witnesses 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 spoke about the colour of the car.
Now, two people were killed in the car accident and three were injured. Thus, five people should have been hit.
The statement of witness 6 corroborates this fact by saying that five people were hit and three were injured.
The statement made by witness 1 is incorrect as he says that three people were killed.
Therefore, witness 1 is in shock and all details provided by him are incorrect.
Therefore, the colour of the car is not red.
Hence, options 1 and 4 can be eliminated.
Similarly, the statement made by witness 5 is incorrect as he says that two people were injured.
Therefore, the colour of the car is not blue.
Hence, options 2 and 5 can be eliminated.
We can conclude that the colour of the car was green.
Hence, option 3.

3.25 * 2 = 6.5
6.5 * 3 = 19.5
19.5 * 4 = 78

Following the final seating arrangement, we can say position of none of the members remains the same if we arrange all alphabetically as given in the question. 
Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Common Explanation:
Reference:
O is sitting second to the left of U and third to right of H.
Inference:

Reference:
D and I are immediate neighbors of  each other but one of them is an immediate neighbor of O. 
V is sitting second to the right of B.
Inference:
Here, we can place D and I as follows:

Reference:
G is sitting second to the left of D.
Inference:
To fix these two positions, we will have to place D to the immediate right of H. Thus, we get the final arrangement as:

The average rate of interest he pays is 186 x 100/1500 = 12.4%.

The average rate of interest being 12.4%, it means that the ratio in which the two amounts would be distributed would be 4:1 (using alligation). Thus, the borrowing at 12% would be Rs. 1200.

The data is insufficient, since we only know that the work gets completed in 200 boy days and 300 women days.

72.42 + 385.66 + 4976.38 = 5434.46

So Option D is correct

odd numbers — x-8, x-6, x-4, x-2, x, x+2, x+4, x+6
x-8 + x-6 + x-4 + x-2 + x + x+2 + x+4 + x+6 = 656
8x – 8 =656
x = 83
Even numbers — y-2, y, y+2, y+4
4y + 4 = 87 * 4
y = 86
sum of the largest even number and odd number = 89 + 90 = 179

a*b = 5*275 and a+b = 80
(a+b)/(a*b) = 80/(5*275) = 16/275

Answer – b) 10000 Explanation : Let total votes = T and party B gets 15000 votes then party A will get T -15000 votes T – 15000 – 15000 = 25T/100
T = 40000, so A get 25000 and B gets 15000 votes, so difference = 10000

Let x be the number of boys and y be the number of girls in Ritu's class.
Based on the chocolate distribution,
3x + 4y = 124
Had she given 2 chocolates to each boy and girl:
2x + 2y = 124 - 52 = 72
Solving both equations, we get
x = 20 and y = 16
Ratio of girls to boys = y/x = 16/20 = 4 : 5

Glasses A and B have same volume, let it be 1 L.
Glass A has 2/3 L of wine and 1/3 L of water.
Glass B has 4/7 L of wine and 3/7 L of water.
Total water in the mixture = (1/3 + 3/7) L = 16/21 L
Total wine in the mixture = (2/3 + 4/7) L = 26/21 L
Ratio = (16/21)/(26/21) = 16/26 = 8/13

Calculation:

Rise in 2015-16 = 53 – 51 = 2

Rise in 2016-17 = 65 – 53 = 12

Rise in 2017-18 = 76 – 65 = 11

Rise in 2019-20 = 68 – 58 = 10

Rise in 2020-21 = 73 – 68 = 5

∴ Maximum rise in production of wool with respect to previous year is in 2016-17

Both the first two words are incorrect for the blank and therefore they can be eliminated given the context of the sentence. Riled means making someone annoyed or irritated. Hence this is also eliminated based on the context explained above. So, none of the given words fits in the given blank.

This makes Option D the correct choice among the given options.

All four sentences given talk of the painter Magritte. Sentence D is the only one that states his full name: René Magritte. So, this is the starting sentence of the paragraph.

Sentence D describes the painting, "“The Treachery of Images". Now, both C and A refer to the painting: C states what inspired Margritte "in painting this", while A states what Margritte achieved with the help of his iconic painting. But clearly, the pronoun reference--this-- in C relates to the painting described in D. So, C follows immediately after D.

Now, Sentence B states what Magritte wanted to prove, whereas A states what he did prove with his painting. So, A follows B.

DCBA is the right order.

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

Hence, the answer is DCBA
Choice D is the correct answer.

Refer to:

‘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.

Differences among terror outfits, do not, however, preclude a complicated pattern of relationships when it comes to operational aspects.’
