SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 14 - Question 1

Directions: Study the following caselet carefully to answer the questions given beside.
Rahim is an employee in TCS. In December 2019, his expenditure and savings are as follows:
He spends four times on house rent of what he spends on grocery in that month. One-fifth of his salary goes on these two items only. He spends a total of Rs. 10000 on school fee of his kids and house maid. He also gives Rs. 12000 to his younger brother who studies in college, which is thrice the amount he gives to house maid. Expenditure on petrol is Rs. 6000, and two-third of expenditure on petrol is equal to the expenditure on grocery. He also goes to the gym for which he pays half what he pays to his house maid. Whatever left after all this expenditure becomes his savings for December 2019.

Q. All his savings he made in the year 2021 he deposited in a bank on 1st January 2022, and similarly the savings in the year 2022, he deposited in the bank on 1st January 2023, both at 5% simple interest. If he withdraws all his money on 1st January 2024, what total amount as interest he will get from the bank? [Assuming his monthly savings remains the same as it was in December 2019]

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 14 - Question 1

Savings in the year 2021 = Rs. 50000 × 12
He put this amount at 5% SI for 2 years.
SI he will get on this = (Rs. 50000 × 12) × 5 × 2 / 100 = 5000 × 12 = 60000
Savings in the year 2022 = Rs. 50000 × 12
He put this amount at 5% SI for 1 year.
SI he will get on this = (Rs. 50000 × 12) × 5 × 1 / 100 = 5000 × 6 = 30000
Total amount = 60000 + 30000 = Rs. 90000
Hence, option C is correct.

Common Explanation:
Expenditure on petrol is Rs. 6000, and since two-third of expenditure on petrol is equal to expenditure on grocery, we have
Expenditure on grocery is (2 / 3) × 6000 = Rs. 4000
He spend four times on house rent on what he spend on grocery in that month, means
Expenditure on house rent = 4 × 4000 = Rs. 16000
Expenditure on grocery + house rent = 4000 + 16000 = 20000
This is one-fifth of his salary, means his salary is = 5 × 20000 = Rs. 100000
He gives Rs. 12000 to his younger brother, which is thrice the amount he gives to house maid, means
Expenditure on house maid = Rs. (1 / 3) × 12000 = Rs. 4000
Expenditure on school fee + house maid = 10000
Expenditure on school fee + 4000 = 10000
Expenditure on school fee = Rs. 6000
He go to gym for which he pays half what he pays to his house maid = (1 / 2) × 4000 = Rs. 2000
We tabulate all this information as follows:

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 14 - Question 2

Statements :
I. There are 47 students in the class.
II. Jatin who ranks 10th in the same class, ranks 38th from the last.

Q. Gaurav ranks eighteenth from the top in a class. What is his rank from the last?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 14 - Question 2

From I, we conclude that in a class of 47 students, Gaurav ranks 18th from the top and hence 30th from the last.
From II, we conclude that there are 9 students above and 37 students below Jatin in rank. Thus, there are (9 + 1 + 37) = 47 students in the class.
So, Gaurav who ranks 18th from the top, is 30th from the last.

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 14 - Question 7

Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the question that follows.

In a village of Bastar district in Madhya Pradesh, only two types of people live who belong to a tribal class. The first type is known as class A, while the other is known as class B. In that village, there is no other type of person except these two. The activities of both types of people are governed by perfectly patterned norms of social behaviour. Each person of the tribe has to obey the norms. They are rigid about this.

As far as marriage is concerned, the following norms are to be followed:
(A) The people of class A cannot marry any other member of their own class, though they can marry members of class B.
(B) After being married, each male member ceases to be member of that class in which he was born, but automatically he becomes the member of the other class to which his wife belongs.
(C) As far as females are concerned, they remain the members of their own class after being married.
(D) On its birth, the child automatically becomes the member of its mother's class.
(E) When any male member becomes widower or divorcee, then he again belongs to the group in which he was born.
(F) Nobody can marry more than one person according to social laws.

Q. A boy who was born in class B (boy and his wife both can have married and unmarried brothers) can have

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 14 - Question 7

The boy born in class B will marry a girl of class A. So, the daughter will belong to class A. Thus, (1) is false.
Since the boy's daughter will belong to class A, she would marry a boy of class B and so the son-in-law would be from class B. So, (2) is false.
The boy, born in class B, will have mother born in class B and father born in class A. So, his uncle (i.e. mother's brother or father's brother) can be from class A or B.
So, (3) is true.
The boy in class B gets married to a girl in class A and himself becomes of class A.
Their son also belongs to class A, who will marry a girl of class B and himself becomes of class B.
When the son divorces, he reverts to his original class, i.e. A; hence, (4) is false.

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 14 - Question 13

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given beside.

The second-largest colony of emperor penguins in the world appears to be collapsing, after rough seas drowned all of its babies three winters in a row.

The Halley Bay colony once accounted for 5 to 9% of the global emperor penguin population, according to the British Antarctic Survey (BAC), which reported the catastrophe. That amounted to about 15,000 to 24,000 adult breeding pairs. But in 2016, the sea-ice platform on which the colony was raising its babies collapsed during rough weather, throwing infant penguins unable to swim into the frigid water. In 2017 and 2018, the rough weather pattern repeated itself.

The birds arrive at the site from their summer sea jaunts each April to breed; for the resulting chicks to survive, the site has to remain stable throughout the Southern Hemisphere’s winter, which lasts until December.

By 2018, a handful of adults — a "few hundred," or about 2 percent of the original population — turned up at the Halley Bay site, the researchers reported. The remaining colony appeared in disarray, with adults moving closer to the ice edge than is typical, and was difficult to count scattered among the roughened chunks of ice.

The good news is that at least some of the colony appears to have moved, rather than died out. The Dawson-Lambton Glacier colony 34 miles (55 kilometres) to the south has significantly swelled in numbers since the devastation of Halley Bay, the BAC reported. That colony, which had hit a low of just 1,280 pairs in the 2015 season, swelled in each succeeding year. In 2016, it reached 5,315 pairs. In 2017, there were 11,117 pairs. And by 2018, a full 14,612 pairs set up camp at the site.

Q. “Halley Bay” colony and “Dawson-Lambton Glacier” colony are related to which of the following?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 14 - Question 13

Refer to:
The Halley Bay colony once accounted for 5 to 9% of the global emperor penguin population, ...
The Dawson-Lambton Glacier colony 34 miles (55 kilometers) to the south has significantly swelled in numbers ...
Clearly, option B is correct.

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 14 - Question 19

Statisticians from the Department of Motor Vehicles have calculated that one human being should be struck every three minutes by a vehicle, while each minutetwo animals can be expected to die from such collisions.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 14 - Question 19

Choices A, B and E all imply that humans should be struck by vehicles, not that they are or will be. Should implies a sense of moral purpose, which is clearly not the right thing to say here. It is tantamount to saying that if too few people are hit by vehicles, then extra humans will be hit. That leaves us with choices C and D. Choice C disrupts the parallel structure necessary to make the rest of the sentence fit. D has the correct parallel structure: Every three minutes something happens and each minute something else happens. C also implies that it is the same human being that is struck every three minutes. Only choice D doesn’t use the word should and maintains correct parallel structure. Choice D is the correct answer.
