SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 25 - Question 3

Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given beside.
Mr. Dexter has four kids and all were born on same date of different years. They all have birthday today. Mr. Dexter wants to buy chocolates for all his kids. But he don’t want to give each kid equal number of chocolates.
He decides to do the following thing:
He will divide the height (in centimeters) by the sum of age number with weight (in kilogram).
He arrive at this formula –
Number of chocolate = height in centimeters/(weight in kilogram + age)
The number that will come is the number of chocolates that a particular kid gets.
His second youngest kid is twice the age of the youngest kid whose age is one-third the oldest kid. The second oldest kid is three year younger than the oldest kid. Weight of oldest kid is 36 kg which is numerically three times the age of second oldest kid, whose weight is four times the age of second youngest kid. Weight of the youngest kid is 40% less than the second oldest kid. Sum of weight of all four kids is 129 kg.

Q. After two years, weight of oldest kid increases 4 kg, second oldest kid by 2 kg, the second youngest kid gains 6kg and the youngest kid gains 9 kg weight. Ratio of average weight to average age of all the four kids.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 25 - Question 3

From common explanation we see weights after two years become:
36 + 4 = 40 kg
40 + 2 = 42 kg
29 + 6 = 35 kg
24 + 9 = 33 kg
Total = 150
Average weight = 150/4 kg
After 2 years, ages would be
(15 + 2), (12 + 2), (10 + 2), and (5 + 2)
17, 14, 12, and 7
Average age =

Hence, option C is correct.

Common explanation:
It is given that the second youngest kid is twice the age of the youngest kid whose age is three times less than the oldest kid.
Let the age of youngest kid is ‘y’, then the second youngest kid would be 2y and the oldest would be 3y.
Weight of oldest kid is 36 kg which is numerically three times more than the age of second oldest kid.
Age of second oldest kid would be 12 years. 
Since, the second oldest kid is three year younger than the oldest kid, oldest kid would be 15 years. From this we get 3y = 15, thus y = 3. So the age of youngest kid = 5 years, second youngest kid = 10 years.
Second oldest kid, whose weight is four times the age of second youngest kid
Second youngest kid = 10 years, so weight of second oldest kid = 4 × 10 = 40 kg
Weight of the youngest kid is 40% less than the second oldest kid
Weight of second oldest = 40kg, youngest kid = 40kg – 40% of 40kg = 24kg
Sum of all the weights = 129kg = 36kg + 24kg + 40kg + weight of second youngest kid
Weight of second youngest kid = 29kg

In a table form all the values are:

From I, we have: R>Q, R>T, S>R i.e. S>R>Q>T or S>R>T>Q.

From II, S is not the heaviest. So, P is the heaviest. Thus, we have: P > S > R > Q > T or P > S > R > T > Q. Hence, either T or Q is the lightest.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 25 - Question 8

M + K → M is the brother of K

K % T → K is the father of T

T x P → T is the sister of P

Therefore, K is the father of P and M is the uncle of P.

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 25 - Question 9

If A + B means B is the brother of A; A x B means B is the husband of A; A - B means A is the mother of B and A % B means A is the father of B, which of the following relations shows that Q is the grandmother of T?

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 25 - Question 10

In this question below is given a statement followed by two courses of action. On the basis of the information given in the statement, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true then decide which of the suggested courses of actions is worth pursuing.
Statement: 
ITC is planning to go overseas with its hotel business and is planning to set up a premium, green, luxury property in the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo.
Courses of Action:  
I. ITC should be stopped from constructing such hotels and should be ordered to invest in social sector programs.
II. ITC should be requested to fully explore the domestic areas before moving overseas.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 25 - Question 10

I doesn’t follow as a private entity cannot be forced by the government into investing in the social sector programs. However, ITC can be requested by the government to explore the domestic market fully, before foraying into the foreign markets. However, had the same course of action used ‘ordered’ or ‘strictly asked’ instead of ‘requested’, it wouldn’t have been a desirable course of action.

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 25 - Question 11

In this question below is given a statement followed by two courses of action. On the basis of the information given in the statement, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true then decide which of the suggested courses of actions is worth pursuing.
Statement: 
Protests across the world have forced the United States government to drop the Bills that seek to curb copyright violation.
Courses of Action:
I. The government should wait for the rebel feelings to cool down, and should introduce and get the Bill passed some months later.
II. The government should address the genuine concerns of the public at large by engaging the stakeholders and public in debates and informed discussions.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 25 - Question 11

I would be the wrong step to take as it will only hold the protests for a limited period of time, and the protests might resurrect, probably on a larger scale, if the Bill is passed without addressing the concerns of various stakeholders and general public. This is also the reason why II would be a desirable course of action.

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 25 - Question 12

In this question below is given a statement followed by two courses of action. On the basis of the information given in the statement, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true then decide which of the suggested courses of actions is worth pursuing.
Statement: 
Entrepreneurs are the backbone of any country. They increase employment, invest in innovation and bring prosperity. India is lagging behind the other developing countries in developing and fostering entrepreneurship.
Courses of Action: 
I. Indian government should open more colleges and practice schools for entrepreneurship.
II. An upper limit must be set on the companies coming to colleges for placements, so that more students are left unemployed and switch to entrepreneurship.
III. Entrepreneurship as a subject must be made compulsory in all the schools and colleges, which will result in an increasing understanding of the subject, and will create more and better entrepreneurs.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 25 - Question 12

Since India is lagging behind others in developing entrepreneurship, opening practice schools and colleges dedicated to fostering entrepreneurs would be a sensible and practical idea. II is outrightly ludicrous. III also is not the correct course of action to follow as entrepreneurship, as compared to other subjects, is learnt on field and through practice. Better entrepreneurs cannot be created by teaching entrepreneurship in schools (read this in light of the first course of action).

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 25 - Question 13

In this question below is given a statement followed by two courses of action. On the basis of the information given in the statement, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true then decide which of the suggested courses of actions is worth pursuing.
Statement:
Statement: The single-screen cinema hall owners are incurring huge losses as people now prefer multiplexes to the single screen cinema halls.
Courses of Action:  
I. The single-screen cinema owners should convert their movie halls to multiplexes.
II. Such cinema hall owners should come up with innovative value added services such as doorstep delivery of tickets, and online booking, to lure the moviegoers.
III. Such cinema hall owners should increase the quality of their screen and sound and should also reduce their prices substantially. 

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 25 - Question 13

The single screen cinema hall owners should either convert their halls to multiplexes, as people now prefer the latter, or they should experiment with value added services, while remaining as single screen theatre only. However, in face of the huge losses, it would be impractical to incur expenses on increasing the quality of screen and the sound and also substantially reducing the price of the tickets at the same time.

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 25 - Question 14

Select the phrase/connector from the given three options which can be used to form a single sentence from the two sentences given below, implying the same as expressed in the statement sentences.

Fake news is a big problem. Real news is a big problem too.
1. but
2. and
3. so

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 25 - Question 15
  • The connectors that can connect both the given sentences and imply the same meaning are both 1 and 2.
    • 'And' is used to join two phrases or sentences that are to be considered together. 
    • 'But' is used to introduce a phrase or clause that is contradictory to the previous statement. It can be used to connect the sentences.
  • 'So' is used to say something that has occurred because of the fact that has been mentioned previously. It cannot be used to join the sentences as it changes the meaning of the sentence.

Clearly, both 1 and 2 can be used to join the sentences.​ The sentences will be- 

  • Fake news is a big problem but real news is a big problem too.
  • Fake news is a big problem and real news is a big problem too.
SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 25 - Question 16

Directions: In each of the questions below, four sentences are given that may or may not contain an error. Choose the one that is grammatically as well as contextually correct and meaningful. If all the sentences are correct, mark 'All are correct as your answer'.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 25 - Question 16
  • Let us explore the grammatical errors in the sentences:
    • In Option 2, the use of the singular form of the verb 'lives' is incorrect.
    • We know that the words (People, Children, Men, Women, Mice, Feet, etc.) are irregular plural nouns (nouns that are not formed by adding -s) and they take the plural form of the verb.
    • Therefore, the plural form of the verb 'live' should be used in place of the singular form of the verb 'lives'.
  • Correct Sentence: I clearly empathize with the people who live in those neighborhoods.
    • In Option 3, the use of the singular form of the verb 'was' is incorrect.
    • We know that the words (Both Of, A Few Of, Many, Several) always take the plural form of the verb.
    • Therefore, the plural form of the verb 'were' should be used in place of the singular form of the verb 'was'.
  • Correct Sentence: When the ship finally reached land, only a few of the crew were left to witness the event.
    • In Option 4, the use of the plural form of the verb 'have' is incorrect.
    • We know that 'Everyone' is a collective noun and it refers to multiple people but they are grouped into a single entity.
    • The word (Everybody, Anybody, Somebody, Nobody, Everyone, Anyone, Someone, No One) subjects are all singular.
    • Therefore, the singular form of the verb 'has' should be used in place of the plural form of the verb 'have'.
  • Correct Sentence: Everyone has their own ideas about the best way to bring up children.

 Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 25 - Question 17
