RRB Junior Stenographer Mock Test - 4 - RRB NTPC/ASM/CA/TA MCQ

Utility, in ordinary sense, means usefulness. But, in economics, it means want-satisfying power of a commodity or service — the power to satisfy a human want. Utility is addable. One can add utility obtained from each unit of a commodity to get total utility obtained from the entire stock. In other words, by adding marginal utility from successive units, we obtain total utility of the stock.

Decoding the information, 

Given:

14 ÷ 2 + 8 × 5

After replacing the signs from left to right and using the BODMAS rule,

14 + 2 × 8 - 5

= 14 + 16 - 5

= 30 - 5

= 25

Hence, “25” is the correct answer.

Checking Statement I:

Using the above references, we get the information:
 
_ > _ > _ > _ > Tarak > _

Vijay > Komal > Rishi

Here, we cannot merge the above inferences to form a single arrangement of the order of heights of these persons.

So, we cannot say who among these persons is the tallest.

Hence, data in statement I alone is not sufficient.

Checking Statement II:

Using the above references, we get the information:

Rishi > Tarak/Sanjay

So, we cannot say who among these persons is the tallest.

Hence, data in statement II alone is not sufficient.

Checking Statements I and II:

Using the above reference, we get the following arrangement:

Usha > Vijay > Komal > Rishi > Tarak > Sanjay

Clearly, both statements I and II together are sufficient to answer the question.

Hence, Option D is correct.

Tarun Bajaj, the former Revenue Secretary and Secretary of Economic Affairs to the Government of India, has been appointed as the chairman of the US-India Tax Forum by USISPF, showcasing his expertise in economic matters and international relations.

Given Statement: P < Q < R < S = T

Conclusion:

I. Q < T → True (As, Q < R < S = T → Thus, it is clear that Q < T. So, the conclusion is true)

II. P > S → False (As, P < Q < R < S → Thus, it is clear that P < S. So, the conclusion is false)

III. R = T → False (As, R < S = T → Thus, it is clear that R < T. So, the conclusion is false)

Hence, the correct answer is "Only conclusion I follows".

The Venn diagram that best represents the relationship between Mammals, Whale, and Elephant is shown below:

Whale and Elephant belong to the class Mammal.

Elephants are the largest land mammals on earth and have distinctly massive bodies, large ears, and long trunks.

Hence, ‘Option 1’ is the correct answer.

The OECD designates the United States as the leading aid provider in 2022, based on data from ForeignAssistance.gov, an official US government platform, providing insights into US aid patterns and destinations from 2001 to 2023. Between 2001 and 2023, the US allocated $677 billion in aid to 213 nations, with Afghanistan, Israel, and Iraq topping the list of recipients in the last two decades.

From Statement I:  From this statement, we have three possible scenarios as shown:

Clearly, Statement I alone is insufficient to answer the question.

From Statement II:

From this statement, we get the following table

Clearly, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Now combining both the statements, we get,

Hence, option D is the correct answer.

From Statement 1:

N is the son of L, who is married to O.

L has only one child.

H is the father-in-law of N.

O is the mother-in-law of Q.

From, this statement, we can arrange the family tree as possible-

So, from this statement, we determine that L is father-in-law of Q.

From Statement 2:

H has only one son and one daughter, one of which is N.

Q is the sister of N, who is the son of M.

M is the mother-in-law of O, who is the mother of L.

From this statement, we can draw the family tree as follow:

So, from this statement, we cannot determine how L is related to Q, because here we don’t know the gender of L.

Hence option A is correct.

1) Medha is sitting diagonally opposite Radha.

We can randomly place Medha on any seat and then we can place Radha opposite her.

2) Medha is on Seema’s left.

3) Raman is next to Seema and opposite Govind.

Raman must be to Seema's right as Medha is to her left.

4) Govind is on Chandra’s right.

Implies, Chandra is sitting between Govind and Radha.

5) Shanti is not on Medha’s right but is opposite to Shashi.

Implies, Shanti is to the immediate left of Medha, and Sashi is between Radha and Raman.

Hence, "Seema" is opposite Chandra.

Hence the option B is correct

Let us first learn the meanings of the given words:
Essence (noun): the intrinsic nature or indispensable quality of something, especially something abstract, which determines its character.
Foundation (noun): an underlying basis or principle.
The sentence implies that wealth inequality has originated long back, thus as per the stated context, ‘roots in history’ makes a valid phrase. Thus, ‘roots’ is the correct answer here.
Hence, option B is correct. 

Explanation:

To put one's hand to plough

- This proverb/idiom means to take a difficult task or to start working on a challenging project. - It implies committing to a task that requires hard work, dedication, and perseverance. - It is often used to encourage someone to tackle a tough situation with determination and focus. - This expression has its roots in the Bible (Luke 9:62), where Jesus used the metaphor of a person putting their hand to the plow and not looking back, as a symbol of commitment and dedication. In conclusion, the correct meaning of the given proverb/idiom "to put one's hand to plough" is to take a difficult task (Option B).

The sentence implies that the king had an efficient governance and thus is popular among people till date. Since the segment containing the blank is in passive voice, thus only a verb in its third form will fit the blank, thus ‘honour’ and ‘know’ are incorrect grammatically. The use of ‘neglected’ is contextually incorrect. ‘Saluted’ is also weak as per the context stated. Only ‘remembered’ is the best fit as the context and grammatical reference.

Hence, option B is correct.

Trepidation means a feeling of fear or anxiety about something that may happen
Some of the synonyms are fear, apprehension, dread, fearfulness, apprehensiveness, agitation, anxiety, worry, nervousness, tension

Let us first learn the meanings of the given words:

Outbreak (noun): a sudden occurrence of something unwelcome, such as war or disease.

Explode (verb): arise or develop suddenly.

Eruption (noun): the act of starting suddenly and violently.

Commencement (noun): the beginning of something.

Inception (noun): the establishment or starting point of an institution or activity.

The use of ‘commencement’ and ‘inception’ is contextually absurd while verb ‘explode’ is also wrong as we need only a noun after ‘weather’. Now, between ‘eruption’ and ‘outbreak’, ‘weather outbreak’ makes an apt noun phrase as per the context. Thus, ‘outbreak’ is a better choice.

Hence, option A is correct.
