SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 13 - SSC CGL MCQ

According to given figure:

The figure will appear when it is opened as follows:

Hence, "Option - (3)" is the correct answer.

The pattern followed here is;

The next term is the addition of previous two terms.

Hence, the correct answer is "457".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: 1st number ÷ 9 = 2nd number.

Now, checking the options:

Option 1) 28125 – 3125 → 28125 ÷ 9 = 3125.

Option 2) 11322 – 1258 → 11322 ÷ 9 = 1258.

Option 3) 49374 – 5483 → 49374 ÷ 9 = 5486 ≠ 5483.

Option 4) 49401 – 5489 → 49401 ÷ 9 = 5489.

So, '49374 – 5483' odd among the given options.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Second Letter = First Letter + 2

Third Letter = Second Letter - 1

Let's check each option as per the logic:

1) VXW:

2) EFG:

3) OQP:

4) BDC:

Here, we can see that only Option 2 doesn't follow the logic.

Hence, the correct answer is "EFG".

The arrangement of the given options as per their order in an English dictionary:

(1) Perch

(2) Perdition

(3) Perfect

(4) Perfume

Here, Perfume is in fourth place.

Hence, "Option (4)" is the answer.

The pattern followed here is:

11 → 1³ = 1

28 → 2³ = 8

327 → 3³ = 27

? → 4³ = 64

? = 464

5125 → 5³ = 125

Hence, ‘464’ is the correct answer.

The mirror image of this image is:

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (2)".
Note 
Please note that when the position of the mirror is not mentioned in the question then we take it on the right side.

If you take the mirror on the bottom side then the answer image is not present in the options.

So only 1 answer is possible, and that is option 2 is correct. Please revisit the question.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: (1st number + 2nd number) × 2 = 3rd number.

Now,

For, (57, 100, 314)

→ (57 + 100) × 2

→ 157 × 2 = 314.

For, (69, 80, 298)

→ (69 + 80) × 2

→ 149 × 2 = 298.

Similarly, for (83, 120, 406)

→ (83 + 120) × 2

→ 203 × 2 = 406.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The correct answer is limiting personal liberty

The correct answer is Problem in storage.Key PointsTraditional functions of money are generally classified as:

• Medium of Exchange: Money is used for buying and selling goods and services.
• Unit of Account: Money is used to measure the value of goods and services.
• Store of Value: Money allows the ability to defer consumption from the present into the future. It's a way to store wealth.
• Standard of Deferred Payment: It is used as a standard for future payments.

However, "problem in storage" is not related to the function of money. Actually, part of the benefit of money is that it eliminates the storage issue inherent in a barter system. Money doesn’t physically deteriorate and could be stored or saved for future use with ease.Additional Information

• The concept of money and its functions is central to any study of the economy. 
  • Money helps to facilitate trade, allowing a more efficient allocation of goods and services. Without money, economies would have to rely on the barter system, which is inefficient because it requires a double coincidence of wants.
  • Money also plays a crucial role in the macro-economy. It influences important macroeconomic variables like interest rates, prices, wages, and economic growth. Central Banks — in India, it is the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) — manage the money supply to control inflation and stabilize the economy.
• In terms of the types of money used in the Indian economy, there are several forms:
  • Commodity Money: This includes any commodity that is generally accepted as a medium of exchange. Until the 19th century, most transactions in India were conducted with commodities like gold, silver, copper coins, etc.
  • Fiat Money: This is the money by order (fiat) of the government. Its value is not based on the material used for its manufacturing but on the trust and assurance by the government that the piece of note has a certain value. For example, Indian Rupee (INR).
  • Paper Money or Currency: It represents the most commonly used form of money and includes notes issued by the Reserve Bank of India.
  • Bank Money: Commercial banks in India also create money in the form of deposits, which are generated through the process of lending.
  • Electronic Money or Digital Money: This form of money is recorded electronically on a storage device, such as a bank's computer or even on smart cards or mobile phones. With the progression of technology and internet penetration, online transactions are becoming more popular in India.
  • Near Money or Quasi-Money: These are highly liquid assets that can be readily converted into cash, like savings accounts and time deposits, treasury bills, and other short term government bonds.

Important Points

• Coins in India are presently being issued in denominations of 50 paise, one rupee, two rupees, five rupees, ten rupees and twenty rupees.
• Coins up to 50 paise are called 'small coins' and coins of Rupee one and above are called 'Rupee Coins'.
• Coins can be issued up to the denomination of ₹1000 under the Coinage Act, 2011.
• Twenty five (25) paise coins have been withdrawn from circulation with effect from June 30, 2011 and are, therefore, no more legal tender.
• Rs. 75 coin, the coin’s metallic value exceeds its legal value as half of the coin is made of silver, so they are not used for transactions (legal tender).

Given:

The following bar graph shows the production of various models of mobiles in the year 2019 and 2020.

The total production is 40 lakhs during 2019 and 65 lakhs in 2020.

Calculations:

According to the question,

The total production of model A mobiles in 2020 = 40% of 65 lakhs = 0.40 × 65 lakhs = 26 lakhs

The total production of model E mobiles in 2019 = 15% of 40 lakhs = 0.15 × 40 lakhs = 6 lakhs

The total production of model A mobiles in 2020 and model E mobiles in 2019 = 26 lakhs + 6 lakhs = 32 lakhs

∴ The total production of model A mobiles in 2020 and model E mobiles in 2019 is 32,00,000.

Calculation:

As per the question,

 sin P + sin Q + sin R = QR/PR + 1 + PQ/PR

The sine of a 90-degree angle is always 1, because for a right angle, the opposite side and the hypotenuse are equal.

= 4/5 + 1 + 3/5

= 12/5

Calculation:

Let the initial oranges with the fruit seller be x.

1st selling = 0.45x + 1

Remaining = x - (0.45x + 1) = 0.55x - 1

2nd selling =  × (0.55x - 1) = 0.11x - 0.2 + 2 = 0.11x + 1.8

Remaining after second selling = 0.55x - 1 - (0.11x + 1.8) = 0.55x - 0.11x - 1 - 1.8 = 0.44x - 2.8

3rd selling = 90% × (0.44x - 2.8)

Remaining after 3rd selling = 0.1 × (0.44x - 2.8) = 0.044x - 0.28

According to the question-

⇒ 0.044x - 0.28 = 5

⇒ 0.044x = 5.28

⇒ x =  = 120

∴ The number of oranges was 120. 

Alternate Method

At last, he sells 90% of the remaining oranges after selling the oranges to a second customer, then he has 10% of the remaining oranges.

10% of the remaining oranges after selling the oranges to the second customer = 5

So remaining oranges after selling the oranges to the second customer = 100% of the remaining oranges after selling the oranges to the second customer = 50 oranges

He gave 2 extra oranges to the second customer, so the remaining oranges = 50 + 2

He sells 20% of the remaining oranges to the second customer, so he has 80% of the remaining oranges = 52

100% of remaining oranges after selling the oranges to the first customer = (52/4) * 5 = 65 oranges

He gave 1 extra orange to the first customer, so the total oranges after selling 45% of the oranges = 65 + 1 = 66 oranges

(100% - 45% = 55%) of total oranges = 66

so

100% of oranges = (66/55) * 100 = 120 oranges

Given:

Divyanshu and Manish can do the work in 75/8 days

Calculation:

Let the time taken by Manish to do the work be x days

∴ (1/25) + (1/x) = 8/75

⇒ 1/x = (8/75) – (1/25)

⇒ 1/x = (8 – 3)/75 = 5/75 or 1/15

⇒ x = 15

∴ Manish can do the work in 15 days

Shubhanshu is 50% more efficient than Manish

⇒ Time taken by Shubhanshu = 15 × (100/150) = 10 days

Gurpreet takes twice the time that of Shubhanshu

⇒ Time taken by Gurpreet = 10 × 2 = 20 days

∴ Ratio of time taken by Divyanshu, Manish, Shubhanshu and Gurpreet = 25 ∶ 15 ∶ 10 ∶ 20 = 5 ∶ 3 ∶ 2 ∶ 4      ----(LCM = 60)

⇒  Ratio of there efficiencies = 12 ∶ 20 ∶ 30 ∶ 15      

∴ Wage received by Gurpreet and Shubhanshu together 

⇒ {(30 + 15)/77} × 1540 = Rs.900

∴ The wage received by Gurpreet and Shubhanshu together is Rs. 900

Solution:

Length of the rectangle = x cm

Diagonal of the rectangle = (x + 1) cm

Breadth of the rectangle = (x - 7) cm

(x + 1)2 = x2 + (x - 7)2 

x2 + 1 + 2 ×  x ×  1 = x2 + x2 + 49 - 2 ×  7 ×  x

x2 + 1 + 2x = 2x2 - 14x + 49 

x2 - 16x + 48 = 0

x2 - 12x - 4x + 48 = 0

x( x - 12) - 4( x - 12) = 0

(x - 12) (x - 4) = 0

So value of x = 12

Length of the rectangle = 12 cm

Breadth of the rectangle = 12 - 7 = 5cm 

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 ( l + b) = 2 ×  ( 12 + 5) = 34 cm

Hence, option(2) is correct.

The correct answer is 'Otherwise' i.e. this part of the sentence has an error.

Key Points

• In the third part of the given sentence, the use of the conjunction 'otherwise' is incorrect.
• The conjunction 'Otherwise' means Apart from that.
  • Example: I'm a bit tired but otherwise I feel fine.

• 'Are preferred' changes to 'prefer' in active voice.
• Thus, the correct structure is "People(subject) + prefer + woolen clothes(object) + during the winter season."

Therefore, the correct answer is - 'People prefer woolen clothes during the winter season.'

Additional Information

• In this sentence, both "woman" and "man" are singular, countable nouns.
• Therefore, they both need to be preceded by an article.
• The article "a" is used before words that begin with a consonant sound.
• Both "woman" and "man" begin with consonant sounds, so "a" is the correct article to use before them.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 1 ".

Complete Sentence: A woman is more serious than a man.
