HTET: General Studies Test - 3 - Software Development MCQ

Given : 

Length = 45 m

Breadth = 20 m

Cost of fencing = Rs 40 / m

Formula used:

Perimeter of Rectangle  =  2 × (length + Breadth)

Calculation:

⇒ 2 ( 45 + 20 ) = 130 m

Total cost = 130 × 40

⇒  Rs. 5200

Hence the correct answer is " Rs 5200 ".

Given:

The average of five consecutive odd numbers = 25

Formula used:

Calculation:

Let the smallest number be X

According to the question

⇒ X + (X + 2) + (X + 4) + (X + 6) + (X + 8) = (25 × 5)

⇒ 5X + 20 = 125

⇒ 5X = 125 - 20

⇒ 5X = 105

⇒ X = 

∴  The smallest number is 21.

Given:

Height of a cylinder = 11 cm 

Curved surface area = 968cm²

Formula used:

Curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrh

Calculation:

Height of a cylinder = 11 cm 

Curved surface area = 968cm2

⇒ 2πrh = 968

⇒ 2 × 22/7 × r × 11 = 968

r = 14cm

∴ Radius of the cylinder is 14cm.

Concept:  

Area of a rectangle having sides a and b is equal to ab.

Perimeter of a rectangle having sides a and b is equal to 2(a + b).

Calculation:

Given:

Ratio of length and width of a rectangle is 4 : 3.

Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be 4a and 3a.

Area of the rectangle is 192 cm².

4a × 3a = 192

 12a² = 192

 a² = 16

 a = 4

Hence length = 4a = 4 × 4 = 16 cm and breadth = 4 × 3 = 12 cm.

Perimeter = 2 (a + b) = 2 (16 + 12) = 2 (28) = 56 cm

Hence the correct answer is option 1.

Just start solving from the last denominator :

Given:

Distance between two places from A to B on map = 8.7 cm

On map, 1.5 cm = 2 km

Concept used: 

1 Km = 1000 m 

Calculation: 

⇒1.5 cm = 2 Km 

⇒1.5 cm = 2000 m 

⇒1 cm = 4000 / 3 m 

Distance between two places = 8.7 cm

1.5 cm (on map) = 2 km (on ground )

1cm on map = 4000 / 3 m (on  ground )

Distance in meter,   8.7 × 4000 / 3 = 11600 m  

∴  Option 3 is correct.

Given:

0.25

Calculation:

=  

change the decimal into fraction

= 

= 

= 

= 0.5

Answer is 0.5.

Given:

Cost price of bicycle = ₹1,800

Profit = 12%

Concept used:

Selling price = Cost price × (100 + profit%)/100

Calculation:

Cost price of bicycle =₹1,800

Profit = 12%

Selling price = 1800 × 112/100 = ₹2016

∴ The selling price of bicycle is ₹2016.

Given:

The number 101, 103, 137, 141 choose which is not prime.

Concept used:

Prime number are the natural numbers that are divisible by only 1 and the number itself.

Calculation:

The number 101, 103, 137, 141 are given.

Here, 101 has only two factors 1 and 101.

∴ It is a prime number.

⇒ 103 has only two factors 1 and 103.

∴ It is a prime number.

⇒ 137 has only two factors 1 and 137

∴ It is a prime number.

⇒ 141 has factors 1, 3 and 141.

∴ It is not a prime number.

∴ Option 4 is correct.

Given:

4, 6, 12, 18, 36, ?, 108

The logic followed in the given series:

Here, 54 is the missing term as per the logic.

Hence, the correct answer is "54".

The pattern followed here is:

Option 1): Calendar is a list that shows the days, weeks and months of a particular year. calendar itself has no days.

Option 2): Year there are 12 month in a year.

Option 3): Date a specified day is represented by a date.

Option 4): Month the number of days in a month is called a month.

Here, except the calendar, all are represent the days.

Hence, the correct answer is "Calendar".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: (first number)² - 3 = second number

1) 18 : 321 → 18² - 3 = 324 - 3 = 321

2) 21 : 438 → 212 - 3 = 441 - 3 = 438

3) 17 : 286 → 172 - 3 = 289 - 3 = 286

4) 19 : 357 → 192 - 3 = 361 - 3 = 358 ≠ 357

Hence, ‘19 : 357’ is the odd one out. 

The pattern followed here is:

PETAL is to FLOWER → Petal is soft thin coloured part of flower.

Similarly,

TYRE : BICYCLE → tyre is the part of the bicyle.

Hence, the correct answer is "Tyre : Bicycle".

Given words are arranging according to English alphabet series.

5. Disadvantage

4. Disappear

2. Disappointment

6. Disarticulate

1. Disaster

3. Discharge

Hence, the correct answer is "5, 4, 2, 6, 1, 3".

Five friends - Deepu, Sonu, Tinku, Guddu and Innu.

1. Innu is taller than Tinku.

Innu > Tinku

2. Among all, Tinku comes exactly in the middle on the basis of height.

Case I: ____ > Innu > Tinku > _____ > _____ 

or

Case II: Innu > _____ > Tinku > _____ > _____ 

3. Guddu is shortest among all.

Case I: ____ > Innu > Tinku > _____ > Guddu

or

Case II: Innu > _____ > Tinku > _____ > Guddu

4. Sonu is taller than Tinku but not the tallest in the group.

The above condition cannot be satisfied in Case I, so it is eliminated.

Case II: Innu > Sonu > Tinku > _____ > Guddu

As Deepu is the only person left, Deepu will occupy the vacant position.

So, the final arrangement will be as shown below:

Innu > Sonu > Tinku > Deepu > Guddu

Clearly, Deepu comes at the 2nd position starting from the shortest to tallest.

Hence, ‘Deepu’ is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is,

(Second Number) + 4 = First Number

21 + 4 = 25

35 + 4 = 39

47 + 4 = 51

87 + 4 = 91 ≠ 93

Except for option 4, in all the other alternatives, the first one is greater than the second one by 4. Thus it is the odd one out.

Hence, the correct answer is, "93 – 87".

According to the given information, the path followed by Johnson can be shown as:

Here, O is the starting point and E is the end point.

Now, the distance of the starting point from the end point,

OE = AB – CD = 2 km, West

Statement : Pointing to a boy Shweta said "He is the only son of my father's wife's sister".

Here, the boy is the only son of my (Shweta) father's wife sister i.e. Shweta's mother's sister means Shweta's maternal aunt which means Shweta will be the cousin of the boy.

The final arrangement will be -

Therefore, Shweta is the cousin of the boy.

Hence, the correct answer is "Cousin".

Option (1) →

Triangle has three straight sides.

Option (2) →

The Square has four straight sides.

Option (3) →

Pentagon has five straight sides.

Option (4) →

The circle does not have sides.

Here, Option (4) is different from the other three options.

Hence, Option (4) is correct.
