A group of men could do a piece of work in 18 days. However, 6 men left the group before the work began and the remaining men in the group completed the work in 20days. What was the original size of the group?

Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 4 - Question 1

  • If M1 persons can do a piece of work in D1 days and M2 persons can do same piece of work in D2 days, then M1*D1= M2 * D2.

  • Let the original number of men in the group be 'x'. (M1)

  • After 6 men left, the size of group be (x-6) men. (M2)

Now using the above formula, we get

⇒ x * 18 = (x-6) * 20

⇒ 18x = 20x -120

⇒ 120= 20x-18x

⇒ 120 = 2x

⇒ x=60

Therefore, the original number of men in the group is 60 men.

A water tank is 2/5 th full. Pipe A can fill a tank in 10 minutes and pipe B can empty in 6 minutes. If both the pipes are open, how long will it take to empty or fill the tank completely?

Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 4 - Question 2

  • Since pipe B is faster than pipe A and thus, the tank will be emptied.

  • Part of the tank to be emptied = 2/5

  • Part emptied by (A+B) in 1 minute= (1/6 - 1/10) = 1/15.

Therefore,

⇒ 1/15 : 2/5 :: 1: x

⇒ 2/5 * 15 = 6 minutes

A and B together can do a work in 8 days, B and C together in 6 days, while C and A together in 10 days. If they all work together, the work will be completed in how many days?

Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 4 - Question 3

Formula: A and B together can do a work in x days, B and C together in y days, while C and A together in z days. If they all work together, the work will be completed in: (2xyz)/( xy+yz+zx)

In the above given problem 'x' = 8 days, 'y' = 6 days and 'z' = 10 days.

Substituting the values x, y and z in the formula, If they all work together, the work will be completed in : (2 * 8 * 6 * 10)/((8*6)+(6*10)+(10*8))

⇒ 960/(48+60+80) = 960/188 = 240/47 days

Directions for the following (one) item:

Read the following passage and answer the item that follow. Your answer to this item should be based on the passage only.

Governments need to be generous in supporting international humanitarian agencies, whether with food or funds. Stepping-up supply of food to countries worst-hit by the hunger crisis is necessary. While this will help ease the symptoms of the crisis, it will not address its underlying causes. The latter is necessary to address the problem of food insecurity in the world. Humanitarian food aid is important but simultaneously, we need to put in place medium and long-term strategies to address conflict and climate shocks.

Q. Which of the following is the most logical, critical and rational inference that can be drawn from the above passage?
Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 4 - Question 4

The passage states that humanitarian aid is important but other steps are also required for ending hunger. D appears correct but A is the more logical and critical choice because the passage harps on the importance of medium and long term steps required for addressing hunger which is captured by A. Hence A is the correct answer.

15 men take 20 days to complete a work working 8 hours a day. How many number of hours a day should 20 men take to complete the work in 12 days?
Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 4 - Question 5

Formula: If M1 persons can do a piece of work in D1 days for h1 hours and M2 persons can do the same piece of work in D2 days for h2 hours,

then: M1D1h1 = M2D2h2.

In the above given problem M1=15 men, D1=20 days, h1=8 hours, M2=20 men, D2= 12 days. Substituting the above values in the formula, we get

⇒ 15 * 20 * 8 = 20 * 12 * h2;

⇒ 2400 = 240 * h2; h2 = 10 hours

Therefore, 10 hrs a day should 20 men take to complete the same work in 12 days.

A can finish a work in 24 days, B in 9 days and C in 12 days. B and C start the work but are forced to leave after 3 days. The remaining work was done by A in?
Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 4 - Question 6

From the given data, we can get

  • A's one day work = 1/24,

  • B's one day work = 1/9 and

  • Cs one day work = 1/12.

Since, B and C start the work and left after 3 days;

  • the work done by B and C is = 3 *((1/9) +(1/12)) = 7/12.

  • Therefore, remaining work = 1- 7/12 =5/12.

  • Time taken by A to complete the remaining work = 24 * 5/12 =10 days.

Aman can complete a piece of work in 5 days, but with the help of his son he can finish the same piece of work in 3 days. Find the time taken by the son alone to complete the work?
Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 4 - Question 7

If A can do a work in 'x' days and A + B can do the same work in 'y' days, then the number of days required to complete the work if B works alone is given by the formula: ( x * y)/(x-y).

Aman alone takes 5 days (i.e x) to complete a piece of work and along with his son he can complete same of piece of work in 3 days(i.e y).

Therefore, his son alone takes ( x * y)/(x-y) days to complete the same piece of work.

By substituting the given values in formula, his so will take (5 * 3)/(5-3) = 15/2 = 7.5 days.

Three taps A, B and C can fill a tank in 12, 15 and 20 hours respectively. If A is opened all the time and B and C are opened one hour each alternatively , the tank will be full in :
Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 4 - Question 9

  • Tank filled in one hour when the taps A and B are open = (1/12)+(1/15)= 9/60= 3/20.

  • Tank filled in one hour when the taps A and C are open = (1/12) + (1/20) = 8/60 = 2/15

  • Therefore, part of the tank filled in two hours = (3/20) + (2/15) = 17/60.

  • Part filled in 6 hours = ( 17/60) * 3 = 51/60

  • Remaining part = 9/60 = 3/20

After 6 hours Now it is (A+B)' s turn

  • Time taken by the A+B to fill 3/20 part = 1 hour

  • Therefore, total time taken = 6+1 = 7 hours

A, B and C together earn Rs.300 per day, while A and C together earn Rs.188 and B and C together earn Rs.152. The daily earning of C is?
Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 4 - Question 11

Daily Earning of A+B+C = Rs 300

  1. Daily Earning of A and C together = A + C = Rs 188 ... (1)

  2. Daily Earning of B and C together = B + C = Rs 152 ... (2)

 

Adding (1) and (2) we get A+B+2C = 188 + 152 = Rs 340

Therefore, Daily earning of C = 340 - 300 = Rs 40.

A alone can do a piece of work in 6 days and B alone in 8 days. A and B undertook to do it for Rs.3200. With the help of C, they completed the work in 3 days. How much is to be paid to C?
Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 4 - Question 12

  • Work done by A in one day = 1/6.

  • Work done by B in one day = 1/8

  • Work done by C in one day = 1/3 - (1/6+1/8) = 1/3 -7/24 = (8-7)/24 = 1/24.

A's wage : B's wage : C's wage = 1/6 : 1/8 : 1/24 = 4: 3: 1

Therefore, C's share = (1/8) * 3200 = Rs 400.

A and B together can complete a work in 12 days. A alone can complete it in 20 days. If B does the work only for half a day daily, then in how many days A and B together will complete the work?
Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 4 - Question 13

  • Work done by A in one day = 1/20. o B's 1 day's work (1/12 - 1/20) = (2/60)= 1/30.

  • B's half day work = (1/30)/2 = 1/60

  • A and B 's one day work (if B work for half day) = (1/20 + 1/60) = (4/60)= 1/15

  • Therefore, total number of days to complete the work = 15 days.

A man travels a distance of 12 km at 3 km/hr, another distance of 12km at 4 km/hr and a third distance of 12km at 6 km/hr. His average speed for the whole journey is:
Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 4 - Question 21

The Average speed= (Total Distance/Total Time taken)

Time taken to cover first 12 km= (Distance/Speed)= (12/3)= 4 hours

Time taken to cover second 12 km= 12/4= 3 hours

Time taken to cover last 12 km= 12/ 6= 2 hours

A boat sails 6 km/hr in still water, however it takes thrice as much time in going the same at distance against the current when compared to the direction of the current. Find the speed of the current?
Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 4 - Question 22

Given condition:

Speed of the boat in still water = 6 km/hr.

Speed of boat in downstream = 3 * speed of boat in upstream.

Let the speed of the current be 'x' km/hr.

Therefore, speed of the boat in upstream (i.e against the current) = (6-x) km/hr.

Speed of the boat in downstream (i.e in the direction of current) = (6+x) km/hr

Now, substituting values in given condition, we get

⇒ (6+x) = 3 * (6-x)

⇒ 6+x = 18-3x

⇒ 4x=12

⇒ x=3 km/hr 

Thus, speed of the current = 3 km/hr.

A boat takes 26 hours for travelling downstream from point A to point B and coming back to point C midway between A and B. If the velocity of the stream is 4 km/hr and the speed of the boat in still water is 10 km/hr, what is the distance between A and B?
Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 4 - Question 23

  • As per the given information, the velocity of the stream is 4 km/hr.

  • The speed of the boat in still water is 10 km/hr.

  • Therefore, speed of boat in downstream = (10+4)= 14km/hr

  • The speed of boat in upstream = (10-4) = 6 km/hr.

  • Let the distance between A and B be 'x'. As C is the distance between B and C is x/2.

  • Total time taken to reach is 26 hours.

Therefore,

x/14 + (x/2)/6 = 26

⇒ x/14 + x/12 = 26

⇒ (7x+6x)/84 = 26

⇒ 13 x /84 = 26

⇒ x/84 = 2

⇒ x = 168.

The distance between A and B is 168 km.

Tina goes to school from her house at a speed of 3 km/hr and returns at a speed of 2 km/hr. If she takes 5 hours in total, then what is the distance between her house and school?
Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 4 - Question 24

Let the distance between Tina's house and school be 'x' km.

Therefore, time to cover the distance from her house to school = (Distance/ speed) = (x/3) hours.

Similarly, time to cover the distance from her school to house = (x/2) hours.

It is given that total time taken for whole journey= 5 hours.

Thus, (x/3 + x/2)= 5

⇒ ((2x+3x)/6)= 5

⇒ (5x/6) = 5

⇒ 5x=30 or x=6

Thus, distance between her house and school is 6 km

The two criteria that an innovator must satisfy are whether the innovation or invention adds to existing technical knowledge and whether it is inventive enough. Patent filings are seen as a measure of the spread of science and technology in a country. Patent protection also provides monopoly rights to the inventor.

Q. Which of the following is the most crucial and logical inference that can be made from the above passage?
Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 4 - Question 25

Correct answer- option C

a) Most inventions are too trivial to qualify for patent protection.

  • Incorrect: The passage does not indicate that most inventions are trivial; it merely outlines criteria for what qualifies as patentable.

b) Patent filings are often irrelevant to the actual technological advancements made.

  • Incorrect: This option contradicts the passage, which states that patent filings are a measure of the spread of science and technology.

c) Patent protection incentivizes innovation and is essential for technological progress.

  • Correct Answer: This option directly aligns with the passage, as it highlights the importance of patent protection in fostering innovation and technological growth.

d) Patent protection is only beneficial for large corporations, not individual inventors.

  • Incorrect: The passage does not limit the benefits of patent protection to large corporations, thus making this option misleading.

A train passes two persons walking in opposite directions to the train at a speed of 5 m/s and 10 m/s  and crosses them in 6 seconds and 5 seconds respectively. Find the length of the train?
Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 4 - Question 27

Let the speed of the train be 's' m/s.

Let the length of the train be 'x' meters.

Relative speed of train and the first person who is moving at the speed of 5 m/s in opposite direction = (s+5) m/s.

Therefore, total distance travelled (i.e length of train) 'x'= Relative speed X time

x = (s+5) * 6 …. ( Eq 1)

Relative speed of train and the second person who is moving at the speed of 10 m/s in opposite direction = (s+10) m/s

Therefore, total distance travelled (i.e length of train) 'x' = Relative speed X time

x = (s+10) * 5 …. (Eq 2)

Since length of the train is same in both the cases, if we equate the equation 1 and equation 2 we get

⇒ (s+5) * 6 = (s+10) * 5

⇒ 6s+30= 5s+50

⇒ 6s - 5s = 50 - 30

⇒ s = 20 m/s (i.e speed of the train)

Now, putting the value of speed of the train in equation 1 (we can put the value equation 2 as well) we get

Length of the train 'x' = (20+5) * 6

  • x = 25 * 6

  • x= 150

Therefore, length of the train is 150 meters.

Read the following passage and answer the item that follow.

Your answer to this item should be based on the passage only.

Agriculture in India needs to become more sustainable even as small and marginal farmers struggle to build resilience against many threats. First, they remain price-takers and economically vulnerable, beholden to traders who set prices, and with limited opportunities to sell at a time of their choice (due to poor storage). Further, decades of intensive agriculture have added to water stress and declining soil health. Farmers rely on groundwater for more than 60% of irrigation needs. Chemical fertilizers, once a boon to boost soil nutrients, have been applied so intensively (particularly urea) that the long-term health of soils is now of deep concern.

Q. Which among the following is the most logical, rational and critical inference that can be made from the above passage?
Detailed Solution for OPSC OAS Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 4 - Question 30

The passage focuses on bringing out the lack of sustainable practices in Indian agriculture which are creating several issues. All the examples given above are examples of measures undertaken to boost productivity at the expense of sustainability. Hence A is the correct answer.
