SSC CGL English (Tier II) Mock Test - 3 - SSC CGL MCQ

Let A, B and C have the value of a, b and c respectively

As B is 20% greater than C

⇒ b = 1.2c

Also, B is 40% smaller than A

⇒ b = 0.6a

From above two relations:

1.2c = 0.6a

⇒ a = 2c

⇒  = 2

⇒ A is double of C

∴ A is 100% larger than C

Given,

and

As we know 

Given: Circumference m, Width m

We know, Circumference 

m

Now according to the figure,

  where, Outer radius

m

Analysis of the graph: From the graph it is clear that,

The amount of exports of Company X (in crore Rs.) in the years 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 are 30, 60, 40, 70, 100, 50 and 120 respectively.

The amount of exports of Company Y (in crore Rs.) in the years 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 are 80, 40, 60, 60, 80, 100 and 140 respectively.

The amount of exports of Company Z (in crore Rs.) in the years 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 are 60, 90, 120, 90, 60, 80 and 100 respectively.

Average annual exports (in Rs. crore) of Company Y during the given period
  = 560/7 = 80 

Average annual exports (in Rs. crore) of Company Z during the given period 
 

∴ Required percentage

Given:

Formula Used:

Calculation:

Multiply into both side of eq (1)

∴ The value of is

Let C invested Rs x in business.
So, B invested Rs (x+2000)
A invested Rs (x+2000+4000) = Rs (x+6000)
As per the question,
x+(x+2000)+(x+6000) = 71000
⇒3x = 71000−8000
⇒ x = 63000/3 = 21000
So, A has invested = 21000+6000 = Rs 27000
B invested 21000+2000 = Rs 23000
C invested Rs 21,000

Given:

Central angle of labour expense

Total cost of construction Rs.

We know that,

Amount spent Total cost of construction

Amount spent on labour Total cost of construction

Rs.

Given:

Ratio of copper and zinc in alloy

Ratio of copper and zinc in alloy

Alloy has copper and zinc in

Let copper and zinc in alloy be and

Let copper and zinc in alloy B be and

Now according to the question,

and alloys are taken in the ratio of .

Given,

The required value is .

As we know,

For finding number of factors of any number we do prime factorisation of that number.

If X = p₁^a × p₂^b, then

Number of factors of X = (a + 1) × (b + 1)

Where, p₁, p₂ → Prime factors of X

Now, 40 = 2³ × 5¹

⇒ Number of factors of 40 = (3 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 4 × 2 = 8

∴ The number of factors of 40 is 8.

Given, is the equation of one diagonal of the square.

Consider be the slope of one diagonal. and be the slope of other diagonal.

In square, the diagonals are perpendicular to each other.

Equation of other diagonal is

..(1)

Since, the other diagonal is passing through the point It must satisfy the equation of line.

Put and in above equation

Put the value of in equation (1)

is the equation of other diagonal.

The point (1,-1) is one of the vertices of a square. If is the equation of one diagonal of the square, then the equation of the other diagonal is .

The pattern followed here is:

229 : 36 = (2 + 2) × 9 = 36

Similarly,

342 : ? = (3 + 4) × 2 = 14

The statement explains the correlation between exercise and the hippocampus, the part of the brain which controls memory and learning. The statement suggests that exercise facilitates good memory and learning.

From what is supplied we cannot deduce that those who have a weak memory must join a gym. This is beyond the scope of the statement. So inference I does not follow.

Also, from what is given it cannot be inferred that those who exercise every day necessarily do well on exams. Therefore, inference II  does not follow.

Preparing the family tree using the following symbols:

The family tree is given below:

Man is the husband of Rashmi.

It is mentioned in the statement that one who considers price and quality before buying a product should buy the product of company X. So, both I and II follow.

It is stated in the passage that the e-commerce industry in India is going to scale new heights in the years to come and that is why the government has also come out with a policy dedicated to this sector only. It implies the government has also understood that it is the future of commerce and business in the country and something should be there to protect the interests of the customers in this sphere. Among the given options we can see that only Option B gives us requisite information regarding the same and that is why it is the correct choice.

Statement III is correct because from the above quoted lines it can be understood that the new channel will try to match the startup founders with the VCs so that they can raise capital and also plan the taxes so that there is tax saving by these small companies.

The passage is all about political interference in the administrative system and its effects.

Let’s find out the usage of the words given in the options-

Adopted: choose to take up or follow.

Estimated: roughly calculate something.

Fathomed: understand a situation after a much thought   

Supposed: generally assumed to be the case.

We put all the words in the blank one by one. Clearly, the only word that fits here contextually is ‘adopted’.  

The passage is all about political interference in the administrative system and its effects.

Let’s find out the usage of the words given in the options-

About: something that is showing something or suggesting something.

Scrutinizing: examine or inspect something closely

Relating: make or show a connection between

Indicative: serving as a sign or indication of something.

So, the word 'Relating' is the most appropriate for the given blank.

The role of Laxmi in this episode was used to misguide.

According to the passage, "Dhanpatrai was a moneylender living in the same town. He was thrifty and never wasted money. He had a daughter named Laxmi. The thief knew that Dhanpatrai was rich and he had a lot of jewellery with him. Smartly the thief found out the location of the house and designed the theft."

There is no mention of jewellery’s location.

According to the passage, "The moneylender heard the sound and was sure that a thief was on the roof of the house. Now he had to create some ploy. He hit upon a plan. "Laxmi, Laxmi" he called out to his daughter who was sleeping. "Laxmi, I hope our money-box and jewellery are kept in the ceiling." he asked cleverly."

Let's look at the meaning of the given word and the correct answer.

• ​Example: The fight against a chemical storage site has transformed a normally sedate village into a battleground.​

Agitated(adjective): nervous because of worry or fear that is difficult to control. 

• Example: Gordon became visibly agitated when asked about the minimum wage issue.

So, the word agitated is the most appropriate antonym for sedate.

We will follow the given steps to change the sentence into the passive form:

Find the object in the sentence and place it in starting.

Since in options the Subject is not mentioned so, we will not use it.

The given sentence is in the past perfect tense (had completed).

In past perfect sentence following changes are made:

​Active: Doer/agent + had + V3 + object

Passive: Object + had + been + V3

At last line up the remaining part.

Following these steps, we finally get - 'Our task had been completed before sunset.'

Hence the correct option is (C).
