SSC GD Constable Mock Test - 4 - Question 4

Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given beside.
Eight persons viz. A, B, C, E, F, G, I and J sit around a rectangular table such that three persons sit on each longer side and one person sits on each shorter side. Nobody sits at the corners. The persons whose name starts with vowel do not sit on the shorter side of the table. Three of them face away from centre while the rest five face towards the centre.
B, who faces centre sits second to the left of E. J is on the immediate right of F, who is at a gap of two persons from E. Neither C nor A face away from centre. The immediate neighbors of F face away from centre. G is second to the right of A. I is on the immediate left of F. I is neither adjacent to A nor to C. E is adjacent to G.

Q. Three of the following four are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which of the following does not belong to the group?

Detailed Solution for SSC GD Constable Mock Test - 4 - Question 4

C is the odd one out as rest sit on the longer sides.
Hence option E is correct.

Final Arrangement:

Common Explanation:

Reference:
G is second to the right of A.
Neither C nor A faces away from centre.
The persons whose name starts with vowel do not sit on the shorter side of the table.

Inference:
With respect to second hint, we can say that A faces centre.
As per third hint it is clear that A does not sit at the shorter side. Thus following three arrangements are possible.


Reference:
B, who faces centre sits second to the left of E.
J is on the immediate right of F, who is at a gap of two persons from E.
E is adjacent to G.
I is on the immediate left of F.
I is neither adjacent to A nor to C.
The persons whose name starts with vowel do not sit on the shorter side of the table.

Inference:
As per the hints, one more case arises from each of the three cases.

Both the cases get eliminated as I is adjacent to C in both the cases which violates the fifth hint.

Case-2A eliminates as I is adjacent to C, which violates the fifth hint.

Case-3 gets eliminated as I is adjacent to A, which violates the fifth hint.
Thus we are left with case-2 only.
 
Reference:
The immediate neighbors of F face away from centre.
Neither C nor A face away from centre.
Three of them face away from centre while the rest five face towards the centre.
 
Inference:
Thus as per both the hints we can say that C faces centre and J and I face away from centre.
As per third hint, we can determine that the only left person i.e. G also faces away from centre.

SSC GD Constable Mock Test - 4 - Question 5

The average of eight numbers is 25, that of the first two is 20 and of the next three is 26. The sixth number is less than the seventh by 4, and less than the eighth by 6. The last number is

Detailed Solution for SSC GD Constable Mock Test - 4 - Question 5

Given Data:

  • The average of 8 numbers is 25:
    • Sum of all 8 numbers = 8 × 25 = 200
  • The average of the first two numbers is 20:
    • Sum of the first two numbers = 2 × 20 = 40
  • The average of the next three numbers is 26:
    • Sum of the next three numbers = 3 × 26 = 78
  • The sixth number (x) is:
    • 4 less than the seventh (y): y = x + 4
    • 6 less than the eighth (z): z = x + 6

Step-by-Step Solution:

Step 1: Sum of the last three numbers

From the total sum:

Sum of the last three numbers = 200 - (Sum of the first five numbers)

Sum of the last three numbers = 200 - (40 + 78) = 200 - 118 = 82

Step 2: Equation for the last three numbers

The last three numbers are xy, and z. Using their relationships:

x + y + z = 82

Substitute y = x + 4 and z = x + 6 into the equation:

x + (x + 4) + (x + 6) = 82

3x + 10 = 82

3x = 72 ⇒ x = 24

Step 3: Find y and z

Using x = 24:

  • y = x + 4 = 24 + 4 = 28
  • z = x + 6 = 24 + 6 = 30

Verification:

The sum of the last three numbers is: 24 + 28 + 30 = 82

This matches the required sum, confirming our calculations.

Final Answer:

The last number is 30.

SSC GD Constable Mock Test - 4 - Question 10

There are six bottles of same capacity that are filled with water. The quantities of water in all the bottles are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3 : 4 : 5 : 6. The water in each of the bottles is poured into an empty jar whose capacity is half the total capacity of the six bottles. The jar is filled up completely. How many bottles were at least 70% filled with water initially?

Detailed Solution for SSC GD Constable Mock Test - 4 - Question 10

Let the amounts of water in the bottles be V, 2V, 3V, 4V, 5V and 6V.
So, total water poured = 21V
Let the capacity of each bottle be C.
So, capacity of six bottles = 6C
Capacity of jar = 3C
As the jar is completely filled, we have
21V = 3C
Or 7V = C
Now, 70% of 7V = 4.9V
Thus, there are two bottles which were at least 70% filled with water.
Hence, answer option 3 is correct.

SSC GD Constable Mock Test - 4 - Question 11

Set A contains 10 consecutive numbers starting from x and set B contains 8 consecutive even numbers starting from y. The ratio of the average of set A elements to that of set B elements is 9 : 14. What is the ratio of x to y?

Detailed Solution for SSC GD Constable Mock Test - 4 - Question 11

Average of set A elements = x + 4.5
Average of set B elements = y + 7
So,  = 9/14
⇒ 14x + 63 = 9y + 63
⇒ x/y = 9/14

SSC GD Constable Mock Test - 4 - Question 12

A dishonest milkman mixes 20 litres of water with 80 litres of milk. After selling one-fourth of this mixture, he adds water to replenish the quantity that he had sold. What is the current proportion of water to milk?

Detailed Solution for SSC GD Constable Mock Test - 4 - Question 12

100 litres of mixture has 80 litres of milk and 20 litres of water.
When 25 litres of mixture is taken out, it contains 20 litres of milk and 5 litres of water.
So, milk left = 60 litres and water left = 15 litres.
If 25 litres of water is added, then ratio of water to milk = 40 : 60 = 2 : 3

If the total space between the two vessels is filled with cork dust for heat insulation purposes, then how many cubic centimetres of cork dust will be required?

Detailed Solution for SSC GD Constable Mock Test - 4 - Question 13

 Height of the cylinders = 42 cm
Radius of the outer cylinder = r1 = 16/2 = 8 cm
Radius of the inner cylinder = r2 = 14/2 = 7 cm
Therefore, volume of the cork dust required = Volume of the outer cylinder – Volume of the inner cylinder

= 1980 cm3

3. It led to lower growth rate in manufacturing industries.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Detailed Solution for SSC GD Constable Mock Test - 4 - Question 20
  • In 1991, India met with an economic crisis relating to its external debt — the government was not able to make repayments on its borrowings from abroad; foreign exchange reserves, which we generally maintain to import petrol and other important items, dropped to levels that were not sufficient for even a fortnight. The crisis was further compounded by rising prices of essential goods. India approached the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), popularly known as World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and received $7 billion as a loan to manage the crisis. For availing the loan, these international agencies expected India to liberalise and open up the economy by removing restrictions on the private sector, reduce the role of the government in many areas and remove trade restrictions. This led to Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization, popularly known as LPG reforms.
  • Outcomes of reforms: The growth of GDP increased from 5.6 per cent during 1980-91 to 6.4 per cent during 1992-2001. This shows that there has been an increase in the overall GDP growth in the reform period. Hence statement 2 is correct.
  • The opening up of the economy has led to rapid increase in foreign direct investment and foreign exchange reserves. The foreign investment, which includes foreign direct investment and foreign institutional investment, increased from about US $ 100 million in 1990-91 to US $ 150 billion in 2003-04. There has been an increase in the foreign exchange reserves from about US $ 6 billion in 1990- 91 to US $ 125 billion in 2004-05. Hence statement 1 is correct.

SSC GD Constable Mock Test - 4 - Question 27

Which one best expresses the given sentence in Passive/Active Voice?

Has someone made all the necessary arrangements?

Detailed Solution for SSC GD Constable Mock Test - 4 - Question 27

This sentence is in the active voice, with the subject "someone" performing the action of making the necessary arrangements. To convert it to the passive voice, the object of the verb (the necessary arrangements) becomes the subject of the sentence, and the verb is changed to its past participle form (been made). The preposition "by" is added to indicate who performed the action.

Option (c) correctly expresses the sentence in the passive voice. Option (a) and (b) are incorrect because they use incorrect word order, and option (d) is in the active voice, with the subject "one" performing the action.

A. As people turned to farming, they began to live in fixed settlements, which became small towns.

B. Their labors bore fruit; surplus food freed some of the population from farming.

C. In about 5000 BC, farmers moved down into the fertile river valleys of Mesopotamia, and built dykes and ditches to irrigate the arid land.

D. The cultivation of plants, such as wheat and barley, and the domestication of animals, such as sheep, goats and cattle, began in the Near East in about 8500 BC.

Detailed Solution for SSC GD Constable Mock Test - 4 - Question 28

By timeline, 8500 BC was before 5000 BC. So sentence C is likely to feature after sentence D in the paragraph.

Sentence D talks of cultivation of plants and domestication of animals that began in the Near East around 8500 BC. Sentence A carries this idea forward, explaining how fixed settlements and small towns came into being after people turned to farming.

Sentence B starts off with “their labors"?. Who does “their"? refer to? Sentence C, which talks of farmers who moved down to the river valleys of Mesopotamia and their efforts to build dykes and ditches, has the answer. So B follows C.

DACB makes a cogent paragraph.

The question is " Arrange the sentences in the correct order "
The order is DACB

Hence, the answer is DACB
Choice A is the correct answer.

SSC GD Constable Mock Test - 4 - Question 29

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given beside.

Remote sensing and GIS are promising tools for handling spatial and temporal data and help in integrating them for successful planning of natural resources. It is the science of measuring the earth using sensors mounted on high-flying aircrafts or satellites. These sensors collect data in the form of images and provide insights for manipulating, analysing and visualising those images. Since natural resources are not uniformly distributed and are spatially varied, it is challenging to capture the correct picture. Management of natural resources calls for scientific tools for timely and accurate dissemination of information. In natural resource management, remote sensing and GIS are mainly used in the mapping process. These techniques are useful in management of land, soil, coastal, watershed, urban and many more.

In India, the agriculture sector alone sustains the livelihood of around 50 percent of the population. Therefore, an increase in crop productivity has been a major concern. Since, the scope for increasing area under agriculture is limited, advanced crop production forecasting is required for better policymaking. Indian Space Research Agency (ISRO) and Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) successful experiment-Agricultural Resource Inventory and Survey Experiment (ARISE) used aerial colour photographs to estimate crop acreage in many states of India. Other Important uses of remote sensing include crop identification, stress detection, and crop yield modelling, drought monitoring, land degradation mapping and more. Urbanisation is important and inevitable for development, but its proper planning and management is crucial for sustenance. One of the important features of GIS is multilayered mapping. This kind of mapping helps municipal corporations, town planning boards to build cities that are better organised. The information systems with socio-economic data overlaid upon satellite data makes urban planning cost-effective and accurate. 

Coastal ecosystems have high ecological significance. GIS and remote sensing data are used to study coastal ecosystems and marine living resources which include habitats like mangroves, coral reefs and more. Apart from this, suspended shoreline dynamics can be studied and climatic changes leading to cyclones and sea level rise may be of special interest too. Geospatial data is effective in the analysis and determination of factors that affect the utilisation of these resources. The technologies provide a platform through which we can generate information that can be used to make sound decisions for sustainable development of the natural resources of India.

Q. Why, according to the passage, are GIS and remote sensing considered as promising tools?

I. They collect data in the form of graphs.
II. They provide scope for manipulating, analyzing and visualizing the images.
III. They disseminate data’s more accurately.

Detailed Solution for SSC GD Constable Mock Test - 4 - Question 29

Statement I. They collect data in the form of graphs.

These sensors collect data in the form of images and provide insights for manipulating, analyzing and visualizing those images. 
From the highlighted sentence above, it’s clear that Statement A is wrong as GIS and remote sensing tools collect data in the form of images and not graphs. Statement I is hence invalid
Statement II. They provide scope for manipulating, analyzing and visualizing the images.
From the same sentence as taken above for reference, we can infer that the mentioned tools are indeed helpful for manipulating, analyzing and visualizing the images. Statement III is hence true.
Statement III. They disseminate data’s more accurately.
Refer to: 
Management of natural resources calls for scientific tools for timely and accurate dissemination of information. In natural resource management, remote sensing and GIS are mainly used in the mapping process.
We can infer from the highlighted part above that GIS and remote sensing disseminate data’s more accurately.
Statement III is hence valid too.
Option B is hence the correct answer.
