MPPSC Paper 2 (GA) Mock Test - 7 - MPPSC (Madhya Pradesh) MCQ

I. Some blue being Green is a possibility - It is true as shown in figure given below:

II. Some Red are not Black – It is true as all green are not black so some red are also not black.

Thus, both conclusions I and II follows.

गद्यांश के अनुसार, "दूसरों के दु:ख से दु:खी होने का नियम बहुत व्यापक है और दूसरों के सुख से सुखी होने का नियम उसकी अपेक्षा परिमित है।"

The logic followed is:

The first word is a Profession.

The second word is a tool/instrument required.

Carpenter ∶ Saw

Carpenter require Saw for their work.

Similarly,

Composer requires Flute for their work.

Thus, the correct answer is "Composer : Flute".

Statements:

I. Sudhanshu is 6 years younger than his brother as of today.

Sudhanshu's brother age = (Sudhanshu's Age + 6) years

II. Sudhanshu’s mother, who was born in 1970, is 24 years older than Sudhanshu’s brother

Sudhanshu's mother age = Sudhanshu's brother + 24

Sudhanshu's mother was born in 1970.

Then, Sudhanshu's brother was born in 1994.

Sudhanshu was born in 2000.

Both statements are necessary to find the year was Sudhanshu born.

Thus, the Both statements I and II together are sufficient.

अपनी अदम्य शक्ति और धूर्तता के बल पर औद्योगिक राष्ट्रों को बाहर के देशों पर अपना आधिपत्य स्थापित करने में विशेष कठिनाई नहीं हुई।

उनका यह आधिपत्य जिस रूप में स्थापित हुआ उसे औपनिवेशिक शासन और स्थापित वाले लोगों को औपनिवेशिक शक्ति कहा गया।

Given:

The seller sells a watch for Rs. 2,880 and faces the loss of 10%.

Seller wants to gain 10% profits.

We know that:

Profit

Loss

Profits = S.P. - C.P.

Loss = C.P. - S.P.

Let C.P. of watch be Rs. x.

The seller sells a watch for Rs. 2,880 and faces loss of 10%.

Seller wants to gain 10% profits.

∴ Seller must sell the watch at price Rs. 3,520 to make 10% profits.

The logic followed here is:

So, '149' is the missing number in the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

Votes received by 1st candidate = 1136

Votes received by 2nd candidate = 7636

Votes received by 3rd candidate = 11628

Formula used:

Percentage of winning candidate = (vote get winning candidate / total vote)×100

Calculation:

According to the question,

Total vote = 1136 + 7636 + 11628 = 20,400

Winning candidate vote = 11628

Percentage of winning candidate vote = (11628/20,400) × 100

⇒ 57%

∴ The winning candidate gets 57% of the total vote.

Given:

Speed of River = 2 kmph

Distance upstream = 10 km

Speed of boat = 22 kmph

Formula Used:

Distance = T (x² – y²)/ 2x

Calculations:

Let the time taken be T hours.

Speed of stream (y) = 2 kmph

Upstream speed = 20 kmph

Downstream speed = 24 kmph

According to the formula,

Distance = T (x² – y²)/ 2x

⇒ 10 = T × (22² – 2²)/ 2 × 22

⇒ 440 = T(480)

⇒ T = 440/480 = 11/12 hour

⇒ 11/12 hour → 11/12 × 60 = 55 minutes.

∴ The answer is 55 minutes.

The correct answer is As questions should be encouraged, ask the student to come to the staff room during school time and answer his questions

Key Points

• As a teacher, one must know that asking questions must be encouraged during class.

• Since the struggling student has joined the session late and other students already know what the new student is asking, the teacher must avoid wasting the time of other students and should not answer all the questions in the class.

• But it is also the teacher's responsibility to ensure that the student gets all his doubts cleared and covers up the syllabus.

• The best way is to ask the student to come to the staff room during school and ask all the questions.

• This way the student doesn't need to put extra time or resources into clearing his queries.

• Asking the student to visit the teacher's house after school for private coaching would require time and resources and is less appropriate.

सही उत्तर मांस उत्पादन लागत पर्यावरणीय है जब यह औद्योगिक खेती के माध्यम से उत्पादित किया जाता है।

Key Points

• आइए एक-एक करके दिए गए विकल्पों की जाँच करें:
• विकल्प 1 बताता है कि गरीब देशों में पोषण प्रदान करने के लिए बड़े पैमाने पर उत्पादन सस्ता और उपयुक्त है। यह सही नहीं है क्योंकि मांस उत्पादन की पर्यावरणीय लागत अधिक है और बड़े पैमाने पर उत्पादन से बीमारियों के फैलने की संभावना भी है।
• विकल्प 2 सही है लेकिन मुख्य संदेश नहीं है क्योंकि गद्यांश मांस उत्पादन और पशु अधिकारों के कानूनी पहलुओं से नहीं निपटता है।
• विकल्प 3 गलत है क्योंकि मांस का बड़े पैमाने पर उत्पादन रोकना व्यावहारिक और व्यवहार्य नहीं है।
• विकल्प 4 सही है, क्योंकि गद्यांश पानी की खपत के मामले में मांस उत्पादन की पर्यावरण लागत पर काफी प्रकाश डालता है।

इस प्रकार, महत्वपूर्ण संदेश यह है कि औद्योगिक उत्पादन के माध्यम से मांस उत्पादन की पर्यावरण लागत सतत नहीं रह सकती है।

Let's check each option,

Given Equation:

15*4*5*2*10= 20

1) ×÷ − + →

⇒ 15 × 4 ÷ 5 - 2 + 10= 20

⇒ 12 - 2 + 10= 20

​⇒ 22 - 2 = 20

​⇒ 20 = 20

→ LHS = RHS → Satisfies the equation.

2) + − ÷ × →

⇒ 15 + 4 - 5 ÷ 2 × 10 = 20

⇒ 15 + 4 - 25 = 20

​⇒ 19 - 25 = 20

​⇒ -6 ≠ 20

→ LHS ≠ RHS

3) ÷ × − + →

⇒ 15 ÷ 4 × 5 - 2 + 10 = 20

⇒ 18.75 - 2 + 10 = 20

⇒ 28.75 - 2 = 20

⇒ 26.75 ≠ 20

→ LHS ≠ RHS

4) + + ÷× →

⇒ 15 + 4 + 5 ÷ 2 × 10 = 20

⇒ 15 + 4 + 25 = 20

⇒ 44 ≠ 20

→ LHS ≠ RHS

Here, we can see that only Option 1 satisfies the equation.

Hence, the correct answer is "×÷ − +".

Statements:

No pumpkin is a guava.

No guava is a pea.

Some peas are potatoes.

The Venn diagram as per the given statements:

Conclusions:

(I) Some pumpkins are potatoes. → Not follow (There is no direct relation between pumpkins and potatoes so it can be possible but not definitely true)

(II) Some peas are pumpkins. → Not follow (Because no pumpkin is a guava and no guava is a pea so some peas are pumpkins is definitely false)

(III) Some pumpkins are not potatoes. → Not follow (There is no direct relation between pumpkins and potatoes so it can be possible but not definitely true)

From Conclusion I and Conclusion II, 'Either - Or' Condition is satisfied.

Thus, the correct answer is "Either conclusion I or conclusion III follows"

Given:

15, 20, 25, _____,135

Concept used:

a_n = a + (n - 1)d

d = difference between two terms

a = inital term

n = total number of terms

Calculation:

a = 15

d = 20 - 15 = 5

a_n = 135

On putting the available values in the formula,

⇒ 135 = 15 + (n - 1)5

⇒ 135 - 15 = 5n - 5

⇒ 120 + 5 = 5n

⇒ n = 125/5

⇒ n = 25

According to the question,

we will exclude the first term 15 and the last term 135 from the total number of terms then we will get no. of terms between 15 and 135.

Number of terms between 15 , 20, 25.........135 are

⇒ 25 -2 = 23

∴ The correct answer is 23.

Given equation: (18 × 2) – 24 + 10 × 160 ÷ 16 + (10 × 4) = 170

BODMAS Table:

Let's check each option one by one.

Option 1) 2 and 24

Given: (18 × 2) – 24 + 10 × 160 ÷ 16 + (10 × 4) = 170

After interchanging the signs we get;

⇒ (18 × 24) – 2 + 10 × 160 ÷ 16 + (10 × 4) = 170

⇒ 432 – 2 + 10 × 160 ÷ 16 + 40 = 170

⇒ 432 – 2 + 10 × 10 + 40 = 170

⇒ 432 – 2 + 100 + 40 = 170

⇒ 572 - 2 ≠ 170

⇒ 570 ≠ 170

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Option 2) 2 and 4

Given: (18 × 2) – 24 + 10 × 160 ÷ 16 + (10 × 4) = 170

After interchanging the signs we get;

⇒ (18 × 4) – 24 + 10 × 160 ÷ 16 + (10 × 2) = 170

⇒ 72 – 24 + 10 × 160 ÷ 16 + 20 = 170

⇒ 72 – 24 + 10 × 10 + 20 = 170

⇒ 72 – 24 + 100 + 20 = 170

⇒ 192 – 24 = 170

⇒ 168 = 170

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Option 3) 24 and 18

Given: (18 × 2) – 24 + 10 × 160 ÷ 16 + (10 × 4) = 170

After interchanging the signs we get;

⇒ (24 × 2) – 18 + 10 × 160 ÷ 16 + (10 × 4) = 170

⇒ 48 – 18 + 10 × 160 ÷ 16 + 40 = 170

⇒ 48 – 18 + 10 × 10 + 40 = 170

⇒ 48 – 18 + 100 + 40 = 170

⇒ 188 – 18 = 170

⇒ 170 = 170

⇒ LHS = RHS

Option 4) 16 and 18

Given: (18 × 2) – 24 + 10 × 160 ÷ 16 + (10 × 4) = 170

After interchanging the signs we get;

⇒ (16 × 2) – 24 + 10 × 160 ÷ 18 + (10 × 4) = 170

⇒ 32 – 24 + 10 × 160 ÷ 18 + 40 = 170

⇒ 32 – 24 + 10 × 18.88 + 40 = 170

⇒ 32 – 24 + 188.8 + 40 = 170

⇒ 260.8 – 24 = 170

⇒ 236.8 ≠ 170

⇒ LHS ≠ RHS

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Calculation:

Average salary of 10 employees and boss = Rs 15,000

Thus, their total salary = 15,000 × 11 = Rs 1,65,000

Now, average salary of 10 employees reduces by Rs 1000

⇒ (15,000 - 1000) = Rs 14,000

Thus, their total salary = 14,000 × 10 = Rs 1,40,000

The salary of boss = (1,65,000 - 1,40,000)

⇒ 25,000

∴ The salary of boss is Rs 25,000

The correct answer is option 3.

Explanation:

Let us look at the relevance of each and every option as per the lines given in the question.

• Option 1 is merely a restatement and not an inference.
• Option 2 is also a restatement.
• Option 4 goes beyond the scope of the passage.
• Option 3 is the correct answer.
  • 'Mitigate' means 'make (something bad) less severe or serious'.
  • It is mentioned in the passage that tipping plastic into landfills, destroying it through burning or leaking it into the environment all lead to the environment's contamination(the action or state of making or being made impure by polluting or poisoning). Clearly, these actions pollute the air and land.

Hence, only option 3 can be inferred from the given sentences.

पितृ + इच्छा के योग से पित्रिच्छा शब्‍द बनेगा। अन्‍य व‍िकल्‍प असंगत हैं।

Key Points

• पित्रिच्छा- पितृ + इच्छा
• पित्रिच्छा में यण संधि है।

Additional Information

'मेघनाद' का सामासिक-विग्रह मेघ के समान नाद है जिसका होगा।

अत: विकल्प 4 सही है, अन्य विकल्प असंगत है।

Key Points

• मेघनाद शब्द में बहुव्रीहि समास है।
• रावण का पुत्र था मेघनाद, जिसे इन्द्रजीत के नाम से भी जाना जाता है।
• बहुव्रीहि समास:- जिस समास में दोनों पद प्रधान नहीं होते हैं, और दोनों पद मिलकर किसी अन्य विशेष अर्थ की ओर संकेत कर रहे होते हैं।
• बहुव्रीहि समास के उदाहरण:-
• 1. लंबोदर = लंबा है उदर जिसका ( गणेश ) 2. दशानन = दस हैं आनन जिसके (रावण) 3. त्रिलोचन = तीन हैं लोचन जिसके( शिव)
• समास - समास उस प्रक्रिया को कहते हैं, जिसमें दो शब्द मिलाकर उनके बीच के संबंधसूचक आदि का लोप करके नया शब्द बनाया जाता है।
• समास से तात्पर्य 'संक्षिप्तीकरण' से है। समास के माध्यम से कम शब्दों में अधिक अर्थ प्रकट किया जाता है।
