EPFO Assistant Prelims Mock Test - 6 - Bank Exams MCQ

According to the question,
N > M
Y > M
N > X > Y
On arranging the above data, we get
&becaul; N > X > Y > M
So, N is the most intelligent among them.

So Option A is correct

Interpretation of the coded symbols:
A @ B means 'A is not less than B' i.e. A ≥ B
A $ B means 'A is not more than B' i.e. A ≤ B
A # B means 'A is neither less nor more than B' i.e. A = B
A * B means 'A is neither more than nor equal to B' i.e. A < B
A % B means 'A is neither less than nor equal to B' i.e. A > B
We will decode the given statements as per the above interpreted signs.

Statements: V ≥ I = E < D ;  N ≤ E > B = F
Conclusions: I. D > F  II. V ≥ B
For conclusion I: 
From both the statements we get:
F = B < E < D
The common sign between F and D is ‘<’, thus F < D or D > F is true.
Hence conclusion I follows.

For conclusion II:
From both the statements we get:
V ≥ I = E > B
The common sign between V and B is '>', thus V > B is the actual relationship.
Hence conclusion II does not follow.
Therefore only conclusion I follows.
Hence option A is correct.

Following the final seating arrangement, we can observe that U is sitting to the immediate right of B.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Common Explanation:
Reference:
O is sitting second to the left of U and third to right of H.
Inference:

Reference:
D and I are immediate neighbors of  each other but one of them is an immediate neighbor of O. 
V is sitting second to the right of B.
Inference:
Here, we can place D and I as follows:

Reference:
G is sitting second to the left of D.
Inference:
To fix these two positions, we will have to place D to the immediate right of H. Thus, we get the final arrangement as:

Following the final seating arrangement, we can say that G is sitting to the immediate of right of V.
Hence, the correct answer is option E.

From above statements,
Only one person has birthday before Rahim. Only three persons have birthday between Rahim and Tushar.
Here, Rahim has birthday on 28th of May month. Tushar has birthday on 28th of July month i.e. 3 persons have birthday between Rahim and Tushar’s birthday.
Ximon has birthday on 17th of a month of 31 days.
Ximon has birthday on 17th of either May or July [May & July has 31 days]. Thus we get two possibilities.
Number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Uday is one more than the number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Ximon.
Case 1: Number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Ximon is zero (no has birthday in between) and then number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Uday is 1 i.e. Uday has birthday on 28th of June.
Case 2: Number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Ximon is 2 (two people has birthday in between) and then number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Uday is 3 i.e. Uday has birthday on 28th of July which is not possible [Tushar’s birthday is on 28th July]. Hence this case can be eliminated.
Yadav and Zaheer have their birthdays in the same month having 30 days but not in the month of June. Yadav don’t have birthday before Zaheer.
Zaheer and Yadav have their birthdays on 17th and 28th of September respectively [30 days month other than June]
Wafiq’s birthday is after Pratheep’s birthday.
Finally, Pratheep’s birthday is on 17th of June and Wafiq’s birthday is on 17th of July. Thus we get the completed table.

From statement I:
In 1 day, Pranav finishes 1/20th of the work.
In 1 day, Pankaj finishes 1/25th of the work.
The work was completed in 10 days.
Part of work completed by Pranav and Pankaj in 10 days

Part of work completed by Prashant =
Amount received as payment will be proportional to the amount of work done.
Amount paid to Prashant = 
Similarly, from statement II we also can find the share of Prashant.
∴ Either of the statements alone is sufficient to answer this question.
Hence, option C is correct.

Clearly, the distance of each village from Rampur is given in I and II. But nothing about their relative positions is mentioned. So, the distance between the two villages cannot be calculated.

The statement neither propagates the diet of any of the countries nor compares the two types of cancer. So, neither I nor II follows.

Work equivalence method:
30 × 5 × 16 = 20 × 6 × n
Gives the value of n as 20 days

Glasses A and B have same volume, let it be 1 L.
Glass A has 2/3 L of wine and 1/3 L of water.
Glass B has 4/7 L of wine and 3/7 L of water.
Total water in the mixture = (1/3 + 3/7) L = 16/21 L
Total wine in the mixture = (2/3 + 4/7) L = 26/21 L
Ratio = (16/21)/(26/21) = 16/26 = 8/13

The graph gives only the ratio of value of imports and that of exports.
In order to find the percentage increase in imports from 2007 to 2008, we require the value of import or that of export during these years.
So, we cannot find the percentage increase in imports.
Hence, the data is inadequate to answer the question.

From the graph it is clear that the above ratio is less than 1 in the years 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2010.
Thus (Imports : Exports) < 1 in 4 years

The imports are minimum proportionate to exports means (value of import) : (value of export) should have minimum value.
Clearly, this ratio has a minimum value of 0.35 in 2007.

From graph, we find that the ratio of value of import to the value of export in 2006 is 0.85
Let the value of export in 2006 be Rs. x crores.
Then,

Hence, the value of exports in 2006 was Rs. 320 crores.

The reqd. answer is = 18000/40 = 450
Hence, option B is correct.

White can be selected in 32 ways (because in a chessboard, there are 32 white and 32 black squares). There are 4 black squares in any row and 4 in any column. So, black can be selected in (32 - 8) = 24 ways.
Thus, total ways of selecting 1 white and 1 black = 32 x 24 = 768

7 + 1³ – 1 = 7
7 + 2³ – 2 = 13
13 + 3³ – 3 = 37

Answer – C. 30% Explanation : Profit=28*6=728 Cp=28*20=560 Profit = 168*100/560=30%

Positive outcomes are 2(1 way), 4(3 ways), 6(5 ways) 8(5 ways), 10 (3 ways), 12 (lway). Thus, 18/36= 1/2

Sentence is correct.

Change, were into was

When two subjects are joined by as well as the verb agrees with the first subject. Above in the question the firs subject is The Father which is a singular so we need to use first firm of the verb which is 'was' instead of 'were'.

Replace, tourist by tourists.

Miss the boat: If you miss the boat, you fail to take advantage of an opportunity because you don't act quickly enough.

Ex: I managed to get my order through before the end of the special offer - but I nearly missed the boat!

As per the meaning above, acted quickly is opposite to the correct meaning.

Options C and D are irrelevant.

Only acted late matches with the context.

Hence, option B is correct.

There is nothing in the context to justify healthy or itinerant (moving form place to place; wandering—like a salesperson) option 1 'enjoy their lives' is grammatically correct but logically it does not justify "to get out and about'—hence active is justified. Cars can be adapted, modified or designed. The best combination, however, is option 3.

Answer Option 4. 'modern energy' controls the first blank in the context, 'in which they love' and 'heat and light' control th next blank, hence dwellings.

There are two topic statements: D and C. But if we study carefully, statement D is the most general statement out of the four given statements and it gives the central idea of the para jumble. So, it should be the 1st statement of the para jumble. The words 'another power' in D have a direct link with the words 'external forces' of statement B. So, D $%5Crightarrow$ B. C concludes the paragraph on a positive note as it ('make the country efficient and strong') elaborates the 'beneficial influence' mentioned in A. So, the correct sequence is: DBAC.

The fall of the Soviet Empire is given as a reference of time, as if to tell a story. Statements (A), (C) and (D) all tell us what happened around this time. So, in any sequence, (A), (C) and (D) should succeed statement (B). 'A deadly blow to the machinery of red tape' in D should logically follow 'gone were the days of state control' in A. Only one option gives this sequence ('B - A - D'), with B starting the sequence.
