SSC CGL English (Tier II) Mock Test - 3 - SSC CGL MCQ

Let A, B and C have the value of a, b and c respectively

As B is 20% greater than C

⇒ b = 1.2c

Also, B is 40% smaller than A

⇒ b = 0.6a

From above two relations:

1.2c = 0.6a

⇒ a = 2c

⇒  = 2

⇒ A is double of C

∴ A is 100% larger than C

Given: Circumference m, Width m

We know, Circumference 

m

Now according to the figure,

  where, Outer radius

m

Given:

Formula Used:

Calculation:

Multiply into both side of eq (1)

∴ The value of is

Let C invested Rs x in business.
So, B invested Rs (x+2000)
A invested Rs (x+2000+4000) = Rs (x+6000)
As per the question,
x+(x+2000)+(x+6000) = 71000
⇒3x = 71000−8000
⇒ x = 63000/3 = 21000
So, A has invested = 21000+6000 = Rs 27000
B invested 21000+2000 = Rs 23000
C invested Rs 21,000

Given:

Ratio of copper and zinc in alloy

Ratio of copper and zinc in alloy

Alloy has copper and zinc in

Let copper and zinc in alloy be and

Let copper and zinc in alloy B be and

Now according to the question,

and alloys are taken in the ratio of .

As we know,

For finding number of factors of any number we do prime factorisation of that number.

If X = p₁^a × p₂^b, then

Number of factors of X = (a + 1) × (b + 1)

Where, p₁, p₂ → Prime factors of X

Now, 40 = 2³ × 5¹

⇒ Number of factors of 40 = (3 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 4 × 2 = 8

∴ The number of factors of 40 is 8.

Given, is the equation of one diagonal of the square.

Consider be the slope of one diagonal. and be the slope of other diagonal.

In square, the diagonals are perpendicular to each other.

Equation of other diagonal is

The point (1,-1) is one of the vertices of a square. If is the equation of one diagonal of the square, then the equation of the other diagonal is .

The pattern followed here is:

229 : 36 = (2 + 2) × 9 = 36

Similarly,

342 : ? = (3 + 4) × 2 = 14

The statement explains the correlation between exercise and the hippocampus, the part of the brain which controls memory and learning. The statement suggests that exercise facilitates good memory and learning.

From what is supplied we cannot deduce that those who have a weak memory must join a gym. This is beyond the scope of the statement. So inference I does not follow.

Also, from what is given it cannot be inferred that those who exercise every day necessarily do well on exams. Therefore, inference II  does not follow.

The statement says that Spirituality helps you lead a blissful life. But it does not claim that Spirituality is the only way you can lead a blissful life. Therefore, Inference I does not follow.

Peace of mind is necessary to lead a blissful life and hence Inference II is a valid inference.

So, Inference II follows.

Figure (2), would most closely resemble the unfolded form of Figure (Z).

It is mentioned in the statement that one who considers price and quality before buying a product should buy the product of company X. So, both I and II follow.

Figure (3) of answer figure i.e.,  will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.

In each step, element at the upper-right position gets enlarged, inverts vertically and reaches the lower-left corner; the existing element at the lower-left position, is lost and a new small element appears at the upper-right position.

The proper order is: PSQR

Reason:

• In all the sentences except P, Allaudin Khilji has been referred as 'Khilji'. Without introducing a person, we cannot refer to him by only his last name. P follows 1.
• Now the question arise, why did Khilji reach Chittor? S gives the answer. He decided to capture Chittor and its queen. Now we might think, what was the outcome of the battle? Did he win? What did Rani Padmini do? Sentence R tells us that Khilji attacked again, so there must be a sentence before this that would tell us why he did so. Therefore,Q would be the next in sequence followed by R. So the correct sequence is PSQR.

The correct sentence is:

Allaudin Khilji invaded India and reached the gates of Chittor, the capital city of the Rajputs. Khilji desired to capture Chittor and its beautiful queen, Rani Padmini. But the Rajputs under Rani Padmini fought like tigers. Khilji attacked Chittor again and rushed into the fort only to be stunned.

The correct answer is: 

She was found guilty of theft.

The voice of a verb tells whether the subject of the sentence performs or receives the action.

In active voice, the subject (agent) acts upon the verb; while in passive, the verb acts upon the subject (agent).

Rules of Conversion from Active to Passive Voice:

1. Identify the subject, the verb and the object: S+V+O.
2. Change the object into subject.
3. Put the suitable helping verb or auxiliary verb.
4. Change the verb into past participle of the verb.
5. Add the preposition "by“.
6. Change the subject into object.

Option (B) follows all the proper conversion rules.

It is stated in the passage that the e-commerce industry in India is going to scale new heights in the years to come and that is why the government has also come out with a policy dedicated to this sector only. It implies the government has also understood that it is the future of commerce and business in the country and something should be there to protect the interests of the customers in this sphere. Among the given options we can see that only Option B gives us requisite information regarding the same and that is why it is the correct choice.

The government has understood the importance of the startups in the economy and is positive about the development of this economy, is correct regarding the attitude of the government towards the startup economy of the country.

The role of Laxmi in this episode was used to misguide.

According to the passage, "Dhanpatrai was a moneylender living in the same town. He was thrifty and never wasted money. He had a daughter named Laxmi. The thief knew that Dhanpatrai was rich and he had a lot of jewellery with him. Smartly the thief found out the location of the house and designed the theft."

There is no mention of jewellery’s location.

According to the passage, "The moneylender heard the sound and was sure that a thief was on the roof of the house. Now he had to create some ploy. He hit upon a plan. "Laxmi, Laxmi" he called out to his daughter who was sleeping. "Laxmi, I hope our money-box and jewellery are kept in the ceiling." he asked cleverly."

Let's look at the meaning of the given word and the correct answer.

Sedate(adjective): avoiding excitement or great activity and usually calm and relaxed.

• ​Example: The fight against a chemical storage site has transformed a normally sedate village into a battleground.​

Agitated(adjective): nervous because of worry or fear that is difficult to control. 

• Example: Gordon became visibly agitated when asked about the minimum wage issue.

So, the word agitated is the most appropriate antonym for sedate.

We will follow the given steps to change the sentence into the passive form:

Find the object in the sentence and place it in starting.

Since in options the Subject is not mentioned so, we will not use it.

The given sentence is in the past perfect tense (had completed).

In past perfect sentence following changes are made:

​Active: Doer/agent + had + V3 + object

Passive: Object + had + been + V3

At last line up the remaining part.

Following these steps, we finally get - 'Our task had been completed before sunset.'

Hence the correct option is (C).

Parliament may, by law, provide for the adjudication or trial of disputes and complaints with respect to recruitment and conditions of service of persons appointed to public services and posts in connection with the affairs of the Union or of any State, etc. by Administrative tribunals.

• The enactment of the Administrative Tribunals Act in 1985 opened a new chapter in the sphere of administering justice to the aggrieved government servants.
• Administrative Tribunals Act owes its origin to Article 323-A of the Constitution which empowers the Central Government to set up by an Act of Parliament, Administrative Tribunals.
• It aims for adjudication of disputes and complaints with respect to recruitment and conditions of service of persons appointed to the public service and posts in connection with the affairs of the Union and the States.
