Practice Test: Mechanical Engineering (ME)- 8 - Question 5

Direction: Read the information carefully and give the answer of the following questions:
Total number of children  = 2000

If two-ninths of the children who play football are females, then the number of male football children is approximately what percent of the total number of children who play cricket?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Mechanical Engineering (ME)- 8 - Question 5

57.4% (If 2/9 th of children play football are female , then
male children = 1 - 2/9 = 7/9th of children play football;
Let's take z% of male football children equal to cricket children , then
=> z% of cricket children = 7/9 th of football;
=> z% of (23% of 2000) = 7/9 th of (17% of 2000);
=> z% of 23 = 7/9 th of 17
=> z = 7× 17 × 100 = 57.4%;)
Short-cut :
Required percentage = (7/9)*17*100/ 23 = 57.4%

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Mechanical Engineering (ME)- 8 - Question 7

Practice Test: Mechanical Engineering (ME)- 8 - Question 8

The question below consists of a set of labelled sentences. These sentences, when properly sequenced form a coherent paragraph. Select the most logical order of sentences from among the options.
P: July 1969 was to see a transformed Indira Gandhi.
Q: Quite a few people contributed with ideas.
R: She sounded the bugle through her historic ‘Note on Economic Policy and Programme’ that was
circulated among delegates at Bangalore on July 9, 1969.
S: But the pivot was P.N.Haksar who gave shape, structure and substance with the help of some of his
colleagues in the Prime Minister’s Secretariat.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Mechanical Engineering (ME)- 8 - Question 8

P is clearly the first sentence as it introduces the main person of the paragraph, i.e. Indira Gandhi. The pronoun ‘she’ in R refers to Indira Gandhi mention in P. Thus, R forms the second statement. Now, in the sentence R, ‘delegates’ is mentioned which says about the people, who are given in the sentence Q. So, sentence Q must follow R. Thus, the sequence after rearrangement is PRQS and option A is the correct answer.

Practice Test: Mechanical Engineering (ME)- 8 - Question 9

T has as many people sitting on his right, as on his left. S sits third to the left of X. Q sits on the immediate left of W. Q does not sit at any of the extreme ends of the line.
If all the people are made to sit in alphabetical order from right to left, the positions of how many people will remain unchanged?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Mechanical Engineering (ME)- 8 - Question 10


Hence, only Q's position will remain unchanged.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Mechanical Engineering (ME)- 8 - Question 14

Practice Test: Mechanical Engineering (ME)- 8 - Question 15

A bar of uniformly tapering section with 75 mm and 150 mm diameter, is held between two parallel end supports 6 m apart. If the length of the bar is 5.998 m, then stress induced in the bar for a temperature change of 30oC will be (Take coefficient of thermal expansion =12×10-6 per oC and E = 2×105 N/mm2)

Detailed Solution for Practice Test: Mechanical Engineering (ME)- 8 - Question 15

Expansion of bar due to temperature only,
ΔL = αtL = 12 x 10-6 x 30 x 5.5 = 1.98 x 10-3 m
Since (6 – 5.998 = 0.002 m) of expansion is allowed, but expansion in bar due to temperature change is 0.00198 m, which is less than 0.002 m. Hence there will not be any stress inside the bar.
