SSC CGL Tier 1 (19 October) Shift 2 Past Year 2014 Paper - SSC CGL

A demographer is a person who study about people, similarly a philatelist is a one who loves stamps.

Expression = RIAHC : CHAIR

The pattern followed is that the word is written in reverse order.

Eg = Reverse of 'RIAHC' = 'CHAIR'

Similarly, for OGNAM : MANGO

Expression = PNS : OOT

The pattern followed is :

Similarly, for DBH :

Expression = 91 : ? :: 64 : 54

9 + 1 = 10

Similarly, 6 + 4 = 10

So, 5 + 4 = 9

Hence '?' should be some number whose sum of digits is 9.

Among the options, sum of digits of 63 = 6 + 3 = 9

Sepal is a part of a flower, the same way a tyre is a part of a bicycle.

Apart from knife, all the objects are used in hardware shops.

The pattern is that if the third and fourth letters and last and first letters are taken in that order, they are successive alphabets.

(A) : BC , GH

(B) : OP , KL

(C) : EM , LF (not consecutive alphabets)

(D) : IJ , QR

If we combine the first and third letters and fourth and second letters in that order, they form consecutive alphabets in English alphabetical series.

(A) : AB , YZ

(B) : CD , WX

(C) : EF , UV

(D) : TS , HG (in reverse order)

Among the given numbers, only 101 is a prime number, hence it is the odd one out.

The ratio of each term :

Paris is the capital of France, Athens of Greece and London is capital of England. But New York is not a capital city, hence it is the odd one.

The correct order in a book is :

= Preface -> Index -> Introduction -> Chapter -> Bibliography 

≡ 5, 2, 4, 1,3

As per order in the dictionary :

= Recollect -> Remember -> Repeal -> Repeat -> Report

≡ 1, 2, 5, 4, 3

here the given sequence is TMJ,QNL, NON, KPP, ___?

first term of every sequence is retracement of two alphabets starting from T and hence the first term of missing seqience is H

2nd term of every sequence is consecutive alphabets starting from M and hence the 2nd term of missing sequence is Q

3rd term of every sequence is alternative alphabets starting from J and hence last term of missing sequence is R

hence the missing sequence is HQR

here the given series is A, CD, GHI, ?, UVWXYZ

here the pattern is that 1st term is A and then a single alphabet is missed and next two alphabets are written aFter that next two alphabets are missed and next three alphabets are written and so in next case for missing term 3 next terms will be missed i.e. JKL will be missed and next 4 terms will be written i.e MNOP and hence the missing term is MNOP

here we need to find the odd one out in 27, 81, 1331, 125

as we know

27 = 3³

81 = 3⁴

1331 = 11³

125 = 5³

here we can clearly see that 81 is the only number which is not a perfect cube and hence 81 is the odd one out

here we need to find the odd one out in 17, 23, 31, 41, 53, 69

as we can see that

23 - 17 = 6

31 - 23 = 8

41 -31 = 10

53 - 41 = 12

69 - 53 = 16

here we can see that difference between consecutive terms is increasing by 2 every single time but in last case the difference increased by 4 and hence 69 is the odd one out .

Let no. of girls in the town be 'x'.
Let no. of boys in the town be 'y'.
According to question,
x/y ​=0.9. 
x+y=190.
Solving above 2 equations,
We get,x=90, y=100.
Therefore no. of girls in the town=90.
Hence, Option C is correct.

Let 't' be the time taken by buses to meet.
Distance travelled by 'Bus 1' = 38t Km.
Distance travelled by 'Bus 2' = 37t Km.
∵ buses are travelling towards each other,
∴37t+38t=300.
75t=300.
t=4 hr.
Hence, Option A is correct.

The first 12 draws could be one from each of the pairs.
The 13th glove needs to match one of the 12 as You already have take out 13 gloves to be sure of a pair.
Therefore,Option B is correct.

The word PROVINCIALISM does not contain any 'T', and thus the word 'Initial' cannot be formed.

1. The word DEPARTMENT does not contain 2 A's, thus the word 'Parade' cannot be formed.

The word UNCONTAMINATED does not contain 2 O's, thus the word 'Connote' cannot be formed.

Given : PROSE is coded as PPOQE

The pattern followed is that the letters at odd position are written as it is, while there is a difference of 2 letters in the alphabets at even position.

Letters at odd position = POE : POE

Letters at even position = RS (-2 letters) : PQ

Similarly, for 'LIGHT', letters at odd position i.e., LGT will be written as it is and 'IH' will change to 'GF'.

Thus, LIGHT : LGGFT

Given : ‘Development’ is written as Tnemdevelop’

The last 4 letters of the given word are taken as the first 4 letters in the code in reverse order, and the rest of the letters are written as it is in the end.

Similarly, for EVALUATION, last 4 letters 'TION' will change to 'NOIT'

Thus, Evaluation : Noitevalua

The number is the sum of the place values of the alphabets.

H = 8

HAT = 8 + 1 + 20 = 29

=> BOX = 2 + 15 + 24 = 41

The first two options contain the signs which are not present in the given equation.

Equation : 64 - 8 × 9 × 8 = 64

(D) :64×8−9−8=64

L.H.S. = 512-17=495≠ R.H.S.

=> Ans - (D)

Both the numbers are added and the sum is divided by 2

let the missing term be y

here terms in last row of every column is 3rd multiple of every term in 1st row of every corresponding column

18 = 6 x 3

24 = 8 x 3

and hence

y = 7 x 3 = 21

Here we can see in 1st and 2nd column that term in last rows are multiple of terms in other rows , i.e

In column 1, 60 = 5 x 3 x 4

In column 2 , 84 = 2 x 6 x 7

So this pattern will follow in 3rd column and hence the missing term = 3 x 5 x 2  = 30

let the missing term be y

as we can see that in 1st and 2nd column

product of 1st two elements = product of last two elements

14 x 2 = 7 x 4 (in 1st column)

and, 10 x 3 = 3 x 10 (in 2nd column)

so in 3rd column it will also follow

and hence , 22 x 4 = 11 x y

y = 8

Location of A,B,C and D can be shown as :

Hence, D is South-East of C

Let Deepak started from point A and travelled north for 20 m to reach B, then he turned left and walked 40 m to reach C, again he turned left and walked 20 m till he reached D, finally he turned right and stopped at point E after walking 20 m.

Thus, AE = 40 + 20 = 60 m

In the above statements, there is no information about the dull students, hence conclusion I does not follow.

For the second conclusion, there are two possibilities :

Thus, Ankita may or may not be intelligent, hence conclusion II does not follow.

Thus, none follows.

The venn diagram for above statements is :

Inferences :
1. All watches of white metals are manufactured by Rico = false
2. Some of Rico watches are of white metal = true
3. None of Rico watches are of white metal = false
4. Some of Rico watches of white metal are sold in that shop = true

Thus, only inferences 2 and 4 follows.

=> Ans - (B)

It can b seen that question figures are part of figure in option A.

There are 3 trapeziums present in question figure which are only present in option A.

It can be seen that the figure in option B can be constructed using the parts given in question.

We need to find intersection of circle and triangle(but not with the square).this is represented by area 4.

Society is a super set of teachers and students.Also there are no common entities between teachers and students.This is best represented by option B.

All those people who can speak Tamil or telugu = 35+13+12+9+24+19 = 112
