Past Year Paper 2018 ( Electrical Engineering) - Question 5

“A common misconception among writers is that sentence structure mirrors thought; the more _________ the structure, the ted the ideas”.

Detailed Solution for Past Year Paper 2018 ( Electrical Engineering) - Question 5

Because the second half of the sentence illustrates the idea that “structure mirrors thought,” any word that fills the blank must be similar in meaning to “convoluted.” The two words that are similar to “convoluted” are “complicated” and “involved”, which produce sentences alike in meaning. “Fanciful,” while somewhat similar in meaning to “convoluted,” is not as similar to either “complicated” or “involved” as those words are to each other. The other answer choices are not similar in meaning to “convoluted,” and thus do not produce coherent sentences.
Thus the correct answer is complicated.

3 characters can be arranged in 3! ways & hence total no of password can be = 3! × 6760 = 40560

Past Year Paper 2018 ( Electrical Engineering) - Question 8

A designer uses marbles of four different colours of his designs. The cost of each marble is the same, irrespective of the colour. The table below shows the percentage of marbles of each colour used in the current design. The cost of each marble increased by 25%. Therefore, the designer decided to reduce equal numbers of marbles of each colour to keep the total cost unchanged. What is the percentage of blue marbles in the new design?

Detailed Solution for Past Year Paper 2018 ( Electrical Engineering) - Question 8

Assume total number of marbles = 100
Blue marble = 40
Black marble = 25
Red marble = 20
Yellow marble = 15
Cost of 1 marble be Rs. 1
Cost of marbles increased = 25%
New cost of 1 marble = Rs. 1.25
Let x marbles are reduced from each type but the total cost must remain same i.e. Rs 100
Now, 
1.25[(40 − x) + (25 − x) + (20 − x) + (15 − x)] = 100
125 − 5x = 100
25 = 5x
x = 5
So, now the numbers of different marbles are
Blue marble = 35
Black marble = 20
Red marble = 15
Yellow marble = 10
% blue marbles in new design

P, Q, R and S crossed a lake in a boat that can hold a maximum of two persons, with only one set of oars. The following additional facts are available
i. The boat held two persons on each of the three forward trips across lake and one person on each of the two return trips.
ii. P is unable to row when someone else is in the boat.
iii. Q is unable to row with anyone else except R.
iv. Each person rowed for at least one trip.
