HPPSC HPAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 3 - HPPSC HPAS (Himachal Pardesh) MCQ

At the beginning, both the boys walk away from each other. After one hour, first boy reaches home and his distance from school is 5 km. This distance does not change after 2 pm.
The second boy walks at the speed of 6 km per hour for the entire 1 hour 10 min.
Distance covered by second boy in 1 hour 10 min = 7 km.
So, Total distance between the boys at 2:10 pm = 7 + 5 = 12 km. 

The Modified Parbati-Kalisindh-Chambal-ERCP Link Project primarily aims to integrate the long-pending PKC river link project with the Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP). This integration seeks to optimize water resource management by ensuring more efficient distribution of water across regions, addressing water scarcity, and improving agricultural productivity. By linking these projects, the government aims to facilitate better intra-basin water transfers, particularly utilizing surplus monsoon water.

According to the National Family Health Survey 2019-21, 23% of women aged 20 to 24 were married before the age of 18. This statistic highlights the ongoing issue of child marriage in India and underscores the need for legislative measures, such as the Prohibition of Child Marriage (Amendment) Bill, 2021, which aims to raise the legal age of marriage for women to 21 years. The goal is to reduce child marriages and promote better educational and health outcomes for women.

Enhanced cultural heritage is not listed among the benefits of river linking projects. The primary advantages include increasing hydropower potential, drought mitigation, and improved water availability for agriculture. River linking projects are designed to address water scarcity, enhance agricultural productivity, and reduce flood risks, all of which are significant for economic development and sustainability.

Swami Dayanand Saraswati founded the Arya Samaj in 1875 as a reform movement aimed at countering social inequities and promoting a return to Vedic principles. The Arya Samaj emphasized the rejection of idol worship and ritualistic practices, advocating for social reforms, women's rights, and education. It aimed to create a more equitable society based on the teachings of the Vedas.

The LABHA Yojana (Laghu Bana Jatya Drabya Kraya) was launched to ensure a minimum support price for minor forest produce (MFP) collected by tribal individuals. This initiative is aimed at empowering primary collectors, who are predominantly tribal, by providing them a fair price for their products and preventing distress sales to middlemen. It integrates with existing programs to support tribal development and economic sustainability.

Financial viability is a significant concern associated with river linking projects. The construction of large-scale infrastructure often comes with high costs that can exceed initial estimates, raising questions about the economic feasibility and long-term return on investment. While these projects may offer benefits like job creation and improved navigation, their financial sustainability must be carefully considered to ensure they do not become burdensome to taxpayers and governments.

The primary objective of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) is to replace personal laws, which are based on the scriptures and customs of various religious communities, with a common set of laws governing every citizen. This aims to ensure equality and uniformity in matters such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, and adoption, regardless of an individual's religion.

The proposed Uniform Civil Code in Uttarakhand includes a significant change that ensures equal property rights for Muslim women. This reflects an effort to enhance gender equality and protect the financial rights of women within the community, addressing historical disparities in property ownership.

Tribal communities, particularly the Van Gujjar tribe, have expressed concerns that the implementation of the UCC may infringe upon their traditional customs and practices. This highlights the tension between uniform legal frameworks and the preservation of cultural diversity, which is critical in a multicultural society like India.

The 21st Law Commission concluded that implementing a Uniform Civil Code across India was neither necessary nor desirable at that time. It emphasized the importance of respecting the country's cultural diversity and suggested reforming discriminatory practices within existing personal laws instead of enforcing a uniform code, highlighting the complexities of India's legal landscape.

Pattern:

► 4 × 2 + 3 = 11,
► 11 × 2 – 3 = 19,
► 19 × 2 + 3 = 41,
► 41 × 2 – 3 = 79,
► 79 × 2 + 3 = 161.

Points A and E show the starting and end position respectively of Lakshman. It is clear that E is 10 km away from A. 

Assume that the thief is overtaken x hrs after 2.30 pm
When the car is overtaken, the distance covered by the owner and the thief is the same.
Distance covered by the thief in x hrs = distance covered by the owner in (x-0.5)hr
So, 60x = 75 (x- 0.5)
Or x = 2.5 hr
Thief is caught at 2.30 pm + 2.5 hr = 5 pm

J # P = J > P,
P @ B = P ≤ B,
B % H =B < H
∴ J > P ≤ B < H
1. J @ B _ J < B (False)
2. J % H _ J < H (False)

Total of 50 roll numbers= 50 × 38 = 1900
Total of 48 roll numbers = 37.5 × 48 = 1800
Sum of the roll numbers of the students who have been sent out = 1900 – 1800 = 100.

Total bonus paid = 16 Total salary = 1540 Percentage = (16/1540) X 100 = 1.03% 

Total spent on taxes = 465
Total spent on fuel & transport = 275
Ratio = 465/275 = 93/55 = 93 : 55

Badminton is on Tuesday. Cricket is on Thursday because Volleyball has to be immediately after that (Friday) and Football immediately before Cricket (Wednesday). Remaining, Tennis subject is on Monday.

Total emission is 8. And 4 mm is 50% (half) of 8 (total emission)
From the given circle, transport + commercial, represent half circle (50%) Similarly (Thermal + Domestic) is also 50%. But it is not given in options.
So, the answer is (c): Transport + 
Commercial. 

Total is 8 mmt (100%) So 0.8 mmt 
Find out which two sectors have a % difference of 10%, Transport minus Commercial = 30 – 20 = 10%. So (b) is the answer. 

Badminton is on Tuesday. Cricket is on Thursday because Volleyball has to be immediately after that (Friday) and Football immediately before Cricket (Wednesday). Remaining, Tennis subject is on Monday.

Total number of marbles with the children = (100 × 2) + (40 × 15) + (3 × 0)  = 800.
Average number of marbles with the children = Total number of marbles/Total number of children = 800/20 = 40

Substituting the signs equation 1 becomes: 8 × 4 + 1 ÷ 1 - 1 = 32, which is correct. 

The Average speed= (Total Distance/Total Time taken)

Time taken to cover first 12 km= (Distance/Speed)= (12/3)= 4 hours

Time taken to cover second 12 km= 12/4= 3 hours

Time taken to cover last 12 km= 12/ 6= 2 hours

Hence, total time taken for whole journey= (4+3+2) hours= 9 hours

Therefore, the average speed of whole journey= (Total distance/total time)

Average speed of man= (36/9)= 4 km/hr

Given condition:

Speed of the boat in still water = 6 km/hr.

Speed of boat in downstream = 3 * speed of boat in upstream.

Let the speed of the current be 'x' km/hr.

Therefore, speed of the boat in upstream (i.e against the current) = (6-x) km/hr.

Speed of the boat in downstream (i.e in the direction of current) = (6+x) km/hr

Now, substituting values in given condition, we get

⇒ (6+x) = 3 * (6-x)

⇒ 6+x = 18-3x

⇒ 4x=12

⇒ x=3 km/hr 

Thus, speed of the current = 3 km/hr.

• As per the given information, the velocity of the stream is 4 km/hr.

• The speed of the boat in still water is 10 km/hr.

• Therefore, speed of boat in downstream = (10+4)= 14km/hr

• The speed of boat in upstream = (10-4) = 6 km/hr.

• Let the distance between A and B be 'x'. As C is the distance between B and C is x/2.

• Total time taken to reach is 26 hours.

Therefore,

x/14 + (x/2)/6 = 26

⇒ x/14 + x/12 = 26

⇒ (7x+6x)/84 = 26

⇒ 13 x /84 = 26

⇒ x/84 = 2

⇒ x = 168.

The distance between A and B is 168 km.
