SSC CGL English (Tier II) Mock Test - 8 - SSC CGL MCQ

Step- I: Three digit number blocks are formed from right to left.

Step- II: Now Adding and subtracting the numbers formed alternatively.

Step - III: The result obtained in Step- II should be divisible by

For to be divisible by ,

AB = AC = 5√2 cm, ∠BAC = 90°

Note: The angle subtended by an arc of a circle at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.

∴  Exterior ∠BOC = 2 × ∠BAC = 2 × 90° = 180°

∴  ∠BOC = 360° – Exterior ∠BOC = 360° – 180° = 180°

OA = OB = OC = r cm (radii)

AB = AC

∴  ∠AOB = ∠AOC = 90°

In ΔAOB, By pythagoras theorem

AB² = OA² + OB²

(5√2)² = r² + r² 

50 = 2r²

r² = 25

r = 5 cm

Given: 
Total student = 96
As we know, Average = sum of the observation / number of observation
Let the number of boys be x.
Sum of boys and girls = 96
Number of girls = 96 - x
The number of girls is 40% more than boys

Number of girls = 56

Total sum of boys and girls marks

Let the average of girls is M.

Sum of average of girls = 56M

The average of boys is 40% of girls

Sum of boys

According to the question,

Given,

As we know,

If two chords AB and CD intersect at outer point P then,

Neglecting negative value, we get
x = 6
∴ PB = x + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10 cm
So, the length of PB is 10 cm.

Let the centre of the two concentric circles be and chord of the larger circle touches the smaller circle at .

Since is tangent to the smaller circle, hence .

Applying Pythagoras theorem in , we get

cm

Since (Perpendicular from center of circle bisects the chord)

cm  = cm.

Length of chord of larger circle is cm.

Given,

Substituting the value of equation (1) in equation (2), we get

After solving equations we get that the variable x is canceled out so  these equations have no solution.

The most appropriate meaning of the given idiom 'By leaps and bounds' is 'very fast'. 

By leaps and bounds: very quickly.

Let discuss the options:

Option(A). 'For' cannot be used because the phrase 'home for something' is incorrect.

Option (B). 'In' cannot be chosen because 'home in something' does not make any sense in the given context.

Option (D). 'within' cannot be chosen because it does not make the sentence meaningful.

Option (C). 'to' is the best fit. The phrase 'to be home to something' means to be the place where that thing is located or, in the case of living things, where they live.

Correct sentence: The Mekong is also home to the world's largest catfish.

The conjunction 'and' is used as a function word to indicate 'connection or addition especially of items within the same class or type'.

The conjunction 'but' is used to indicate 'on the contrary: on the other hand'.

The conjunction 'yet' is used to indicate 'in addition generally of items of the opposite type'.

The conjunction 'though' is used to indicate 'in spite of the fact that'. 

Correct sentence: The Indian cricket team is efficient and hard-working.

The correct sentence is - Agriculture has often been conceptualized narrowly, in terms of specific combinations of activities and organisms.

In terms of means with regard to.

In spite of means regardless of; notwithstanding.

Instead of means in the replacement; in the place of.

In front of means in the presence of.

The correct sentence is - Anthropogenic disruptions such as clearing vegetation or tilling the soil cause a variety of localized changes.
Of is a preposition and shows belonging / origin-- a friend of mine.
Till is a preposition and means up to the time / until.
Off can be used as a preposition/adverb and shows separation-- 'flew off'.
By is a preposition and shows the agent used to carry out any action--  by car / by train.
The sentence is about the clearing vegetation or tilling causing changes, so the right word is 'of'.

The correct sentence is - common effects include an increase in the amount of light reaching ground level and a reduction in the competition among organisms, as a result, an area may produce more of the plants or animals that people desire for food, technology, medicine, and other uses.

As a result means because of something that was done,

Refer to: ... some sharp variations ... 

As we can observe that 'variations' is a plural case of the noun 'variation', so the word coming right before it has to be an adjective.

Refer to: 

Across the world, organisations are increasingly offering the gift of flexibility to their employees. …

The very first sentence of the passage as taken above as reference implies that when an organization brings a concept of ‘Sabbaticals’ for its employees, it clearly shows that it values their happiness.

No other statement is a valid assumption with reference to the passage.
Option B is hence the correct answer.

Refer to: Sometimes, sabbaticals are misused by people. One could moonlight during that period of time with another organisation in a similar area of work and hence, act against the spirit of taking a sabbatical.
The highlighted part of the sentence above confirms what’s been mentioned in statement III.
Neither of the other two statements is mentioned anywhere in the passage.

Refer to: 

There are hidden costs associated with a sabbatical. For example, employee benefits such as health insurance and accident cover have to continue. Another challenge with a long sabbatical, say six months, is to accommodate the employee in a role which is commensurate with his or her capabilities and commensurate with the pay. Small organisations do not have the elbow room required for a successful sabbatical programme.

The above two sentences clearly implies that small organizations do not have much freedom to spend on ‘sabbaticals’ and therefore the concept is not successful with them.

The other two statements are nowhere mentioned or can be inferred from the passage.

Refer to: ‘Regulators on both sides of the Channel scrambled to ensure business continuity and financial stability. British firms were asked to draw up contingency plans, including opening hubs in the EU27.’

The above statements convey that steps had been taken since the time of the announcement to ensure business disruption was minimized. In this way, the city has already been bracing for the impact of Brexit as if it had already occurred.

The best fit here is C. The rest of the options are absurd.

Simple present tense 

• We use the simple present tense when an action is happening right now, or when it happens regularly

• The instructions given below should be followed while changing a simple past sentence to a passive voice.

So, the final sentence is - Stationery is not sold at this shop.

The correct order is: RSQP

Reason:

• While rearranging parts of a sentence; it is easier to find interconnections between two parts and then eliminate the options accordingly.
• Here, Q talks about the infinite variety of something; while P talks about 'human face'.
• None of the other options can fit after Q logically, except for P.
• Together, they talk about the infinite variety of human face.
• So, QP must be the correct sequence.

The correct sentence is:

An essay is a literary form which is not easy to define because its variety is infinite like that of the human face.
