MAT Mock Test - 1 - MAT MCQ

Neighbouring means: a person or place which is adjacent with the given person of place. Therefore nearby will be correct option which can replace the word ‘neighbouring’

Five men who were camping in the Cascade Mountains of Washington saw a group of huge apelike creatures coming out of the woods. They hurried back to their cabin and locked themselves inside.

The correct answer is guarded skepticism.

The author mentions that the traditional view has some disadvantages and hence should not be trusted blindly

"The second line of the 3rd paragraph, 'On the other hand, the theory has a very big disadvantage because convection does not normally occur along lines.'

In the fourth paragraph, he talks in detail about the flaws in the traditional view and the traditional view fails to explain the certain geographical phenomenon

In the 4th paragraph, the author mentions that given so many anomalies we should not be cautious about following the traditional view.

The phrase 'with a pinch of salt' in the last line of the 4th paragraph mentions this.

The correct answer is to illustrate the effects of convection in the mantle.

This is mentioned in the passage.

The author uses the example of "conveyor belts", to compare the motion of continent plates on the convection currents to the smooth motion of objects on a conveyor plate. ,

The first two lines in the 2nd paragraph mention this,' Theoretically, this convection and the currents thus generated would carry the continental plates along. The whole process can be thought of as objects moving on a conveyor belt.

The correct answer is to assert that the reform in the United States has not been fundamental.

The author highlights that due to this obsession with moving fast at any cost which is due to the rigid economic and political system, the reforms to the system have been more or less useless in the United States.

The author highlights the one-dimensional and rigid nature of the political and economic setup mentioned in the first two paragraphs. The third paragraph in essence means that since the system has so many drawbacks, reforms have been useless and hence not fundamental in nature. 

The phrase, ' sterile and sometimes counter-productive ', refers to the fact mentioned in the above point that the reform is at best lip service and is not addressing the root of the problem, hence the reforms are not fundamental in nature.

She was the cynosure of all eyes at the party.

The word 'cynosure' means- something that strongly attracts attention by its brilliance, interest, etc. The cynosure of all eyes, something serving for guidance or direction; a person or thing that is the center of attention or admiration.

Use of Noun 'cynosure' (attraction point) in the blank space of the sentence is appropriate.

The correct sentence will be- ''Rahul was ready "to" accept any job, even a part-time one.''

Option (D) should use 'to' instead of 'for'.

In option (A) 'was' is correct as the sentence is in the past tense.

In option (B) the article 'a' is correct as it is used with indefinite things.

Option (C) is also grammatically meaningful.

'To' is used to indicate the relation between the person and the job.

'For' is used to indicate a purpose.

Drastic refers to something that is extreme and something that has a long-lasting effect.
Severe refers to something that is extreme.
Thus, it is clear that 'drastic' and 'severe' are similar words.

The correct sequence is: QPRS.

All the land was covered by the ocean. A terrible monster prevented the gods from separating the land from the water. The leading god fought the monster, killed it, and chopped its body into two halves. The god made the sky out of the upper part of the body and ornamented it with stars. The god created the earth from the lower part, grew plants on it, and populated it with animals. The god molded the first people out of clay according to his own image and mind.

Given,

There are eight boxes → B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7 and B8.

There are four boxes between B3 and B8.

In this statement, 6 cases will be formed:

There are two boxes between B8 and B1.

There are three boxes between B1 and B6.

There are two boxes between B6 and B2.

There is only one box between B2 and B4.

B4 is not placed immediately above or immediately below B6.

There is a gap of two boxes between B5 and B7.

In this case all cases are omitted except Case I and Case IV.

B5 is palced one of the above of B8 but not on the top.

So, clearly we can see that Case I is the correct diagram:

Box B3 is at the top.

So, he is 50 m away from his initial position.

Clearly, it can be understood from the question that 9 days ago was a Thursday

Number of odd days in 9 days = 2 (As 9 - 7 = 2, reduced perfect multiple of 7 from total days)

Therefore, today = (Thursday + 2 odd days) = Saturday

As per the English alphabetical series and its place value.
The logic followed here is:

Similarly,

1) A is the sister of B
2) C is son of B
3) D is son of A
The above relation is represented in family tree diagram using Family Tree Notations-

So, D is B’s Nephew.

Given,

Maximum Score obtained by Class A = 60.

Minimum Score obtained by Class B = 55.

Difference = 60 – 55 = 5

∴ The difference between the maximum score and the minimum score obtained by Class A and Class B respectively is 5.

Lowest admission in BSc was in college IV i.e., 290 out of total 400 seats.

⇒ The percentage of students admitted in BSc. = × 100 ≈ 72%

Highest admission in B.A was in college I i.e., 486 out of total 500 seats.

⇒ The percentage of students admitted in B.A. = × 100 ≈ 97%

∴ Approximate difference = 97 - 72 = 25%

Quantity A:

Total distance travelled by cycle in 4 hours is –

Distance covered by cycle in the first hour = 10 km

Distance travelled in second hour = 7 km

Distance travelled in third hour = 4 km

Distance travelled in forth hour = 1 km

Total distance covered by cycle in 4 hours = 10 + 7 + 4 + 1 = 22

Total distance travelled by cycle in 4 hours is 22 km.

Quantity B:

Difference between the time travelled by cycle = 12 min =  h  h

Let the length of journey be a km.

Then,

Total journey is 2.4 kms.
From above solution,
Relation between Quantity A > Quantity B is established.

Given:

= 7

⇒ 4 + b + 10 = 21

⇒ b = 21 – 14 = 7

= 10

⇒ 7 + 10 + d = 30

⇒ d = 30 – 17

⇒ d = 13

Quantity I: (b + d) = 7 + 13

= 20

Quantity II: (a + c) = 4 + 10

= 14

∴ Quantity I ˃ Quantity II.

Formula used: 

Speed

Average speed

Statement I:

Distance covered in first two hours = 20 x 2 = 40 km

Distance covered in next  hours  km

So, 8/11 part of its journey = 72 km 

Total Distance  km

∴ The statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Statement II:

Remaining time = 6/5 hours

Total time and total distance we get. 

∴ Statement II alone is not sufficient. 

∴ Statement I and Statement II together are sufficient, but neither of the two alone is sufficient to answer the question. 

Quantity I:

Let the present ages of Amit, Bablu, Chandan and Dheeru be A, B, C and D respectively.

According to the given information,

C – D = 4     ---- (1)

⇒ B + D = 60      ---- (2)

A – B = 48       ---- (3)

B – D = 36      ---- (4)

Adding equation (2) and (4)

2B = 96

⇒ B = 48

Putting the value of B in Equation (3) we get

A = 96

Now,

So, the average of the present ages of Amit and Bablu is 72 years

Quantity II:

According to the given information,

∵ K : L : M = 18 : 14 : 13

Let the ages be 18x, 14x, and 13x respectively.

∵ K -  M = 25

⇒ 18x -  13x = 25

⇒ 5x = 25

⇒ x = 5

So, the present ages are:

K = 18x = 18 × 5 = 90 years; 

L = 14x = 14 × 5 = 70 years, 

M = 13x = 13 × 5 = 65 years

Average

= 75 Years

Therefore, Quantity II > Quantity I > Quantity III

Quantity I:

Let the salary of A and B be Rs.A and Rs.B respectively.

⇒ A – B = 5000

⇒ A + 2B = 35000

Solving,

A = Rs. 15000 and B = Rs. 10000

Average expenditure of A and B =

= Rs. 9875

Quantity II: Rs. 9860

So, we can observe Quantity I > Quantity II.

The volume of cuboid = length x breadth x height
⇒ 480 = 12 breadth x 5
⇒ Breadth = 480/60 = 8 cm
Now,

∴ 2 (length)=3 (breadth)

Given:

Tap A and 2 others tap fill a tank alone = 7 hours

Calculation:

Total capacity of a tank = 7 units

Tank is filled by tap A in 1 hour = 1 units

(1/7) th of a tank is filled by tap A = 7 × 1/7

⇒ 1 units

Remaining tank to be filled by 3 pipes = 7 units – 1 units

⇒ 6 units

Tank filled by 3 pipes in 1 hour = 3 units

Tank filled in 3 pipes in 2 hours = 6 units

∴ Total time is 3 hours required to fill a tank completely.

Given,

Speed downstream = 12km/hr

Speed upstream = 6km/hr

Speed of the current 

= × (speed downstream - speed upstream)

Speed of the current 

=

∴ Speed of the current is 3km/hr.

Total cost price = 15 x 10 = 150 
Total selling price = 5 × 8 + 12 × 7 + 3 × 16
= 40 + 84 + 48 = 172

= 14.66%

The correct sequence of Harappan sites and their relative locations are as follows:

Pulicat Lake is the second largest brackish – water lake or lagoon in India, after Chilika Lake. It's maximum part in Andhra Pradesh. (a-3)

Only 1 and 3 statements are correct about Lysosome.

Lysosomes is called the “suicidal bags” of the cell. It is also known as the perinuclear dense bodies. The lysosomal membrane is rich in Sialic acid. They are absent in Erythrocytes. They are acidic in nature due to the presence of anabolic enzymes. Acid phosphatase (Enzyme) is used as a marker for the lysosomes. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation is used in the isolation of Liposomal fractions.

The Sardar Sarovar Dam is built on the Narmada River near Navagam, Gujarat in India.

Four states Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan, receive water and electricity supplied from this dam.

The foundation stone of the project was laid out by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on 5 April 1961 but it was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 17 September 2017.
