Directions: Refer to the table below and answer the questions that follow. Salary range for an organisation for all male and female employees

What is the ratio of the maximum average monthly salaries of all the male employees to all the female employees who earn equal?

Detailed Solution for UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 3
We do not know the exact salaries of those 3 male employees and 1 female employee who earn more than Rs 25000. So we can’t say anything about this.

UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 4

Directions: Refer to the table below and answer the questions that follow. Salary range for an organisation for all male and female employees

What percent of the total employees earn less than Rs 20000 but more than or equal to Rs 10000 as their monthly salary?

Detailed Solution for UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 4
Total no. of employees = 461

No. of employees who earn more than or equal to 10000 but less than 20000 = 48 + 28 + 16 + 8 = 100

Therefore, required percentage = x 100

≈ 21.7%

UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 5

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 UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 5

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.

UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 6

9 kids can finish a bit of work in 360 days. 18 men can finish the same work of piece in 72 days and 12 ladies can finish it in 162 days. In how long can 4 men, 12 ladies and 10 kids together finish the bit of work?

Detailed Solution for UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 6

9×360 children = 18×72 men = 12×162 women

⇒ 45 children = 18 men

= 27 women

⇒ 5 children = 2 men = 3 women

Now, 4 men + 12 women + 10 children

= 4 men + 8 men + 4 men

= 16 men

∵ 18 men can complete the work in 72 days.

∴ 16 men can complete the work in =18×72/16 = 81 days

UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 7

A works twice as fast as B. If two can together complete a bit of work in 12 days, then B alone can do it in:

Detailed Solution for UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 7

Let B's 1 day work =x.

Then , A's 1 day's work=2x

X+2x=1/12

⇒ 3x=1/12

⇒ x=1/36.

B's 1 day work=1/36.

Hence B alone can finish the work in 36 days.

UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 8

UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 9

Amit covers one-fourth of the total distance at 20 kmph, one-fourth at 10 kmph and rest of his journey at 80 kmph. Find Amit's average speed for the whole distance?

Detailed Solution for UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 9

Average speed = Total Distance/Total Time

Let the total distance = D Km

Therefore, Time taken to complete first D/4 distance = t1 =(D/4)km/20kmph Time taken to complete second D/4 distance = t2 = (D/4)/10kmph Time taken to complete remaining distance (that is D/2) = t3 = (D/2)/80kmph Therefore, Average speed = Total Distance/Total Time = (D)/(t1+t2+3)

= D/(D/80 + D/40 + D/160)

= D/(2D + 4D + D)/160 = 160 D/7D

Therefore, Average Speed = 22. 85 kmph

If Rahul played 25 singles badminton matches and won 17 out of these. If there were no tied or drawn matches, then what is the ratio of the number of matches won by Rahul to the number of matches he lost?

Detailed Solution for UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 10

Total matches played = 25

Matches won = 17

Therefore, Matches lost = 25 - 17 = 8

Required Ratio = Matches won : Matches lost = 17 : 8

Q. If Maggi produces Superior and Ordinary types of its products - noodles and ketchup - in the ratio of 3 : 2 and 7 : 3 respectively, find the total market share (in Rupees crore) of the Ordinary type of products of Maggi.

Detailed Solution for UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 14
Maggie’s market share for ketchup and noodles is 25% 80 = 20 and 50% 350 = 175 respectively. The share of ordinary ketchup is (3/10) *20 = 6 and the share of ordinary

noodles is (⅖) x 175 = 70. So the total market share of ordinary products is 76

UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 15

The wages of Santhosh and Revathi are in the ratio ratio 6:5. If the wages of each is increased by Rs.6000, the new ratio becomes 38:35. What is Revathi' s present salary?

Detailed Solution for UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 15

Let the original salary of Santhosh and Revathi be 6x and 5x respectively Then, (6x+6000) / (5x+6000) = 38/35 35(6x+6000) = 38(5x +6000)

210x +210000 = 190x + 228000 210x - 190x = 228000 - 210000 20x= 18000 X = 900

Revathi's present salary = 5x = 5*900 = Rs. 4500

UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 16

For every 2 chocolate Mahesh gets Umesh is given 3 chocolate. If the total number of chocolate distributed to them is 65, then find the number of chocolates Umesh received?

Detailed Solution for UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 16

Let Mahesh gets 2x chocolates and Umesh gets 3x chocolates.

Total chocolates = 5x =65;

x= 13

Therefore, Total chocolates received by Umesh = 3x = 3 * 13 = 39.

UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 17

A trader allows two successive discounts of 10% and 20%. If he sells the article for Rs. 144, then what is the marked price of the article?

Detailed Solution for UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 17

Always the discount is provided on marked price. Here 2 successive discounts are given.

Let us assume that marked price is M.

So first discount is 10%. Thus the price becomes 9/10th. and the second discount is 20 %. Thus, price becomes 8/10.

After allowing these two discounts price comes out to be 144.

Now representing this mathematically:

M x 9/10 x 8/10 = 144 M x 72/100 =144 M= 144 x 100/72 M= 200

UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 18

It has long been known that the rate of oxidative metabolism (the process that uses oxygen to convert food into energy) in any animal has a profound effect on its living patterns. The high metabolic rate of small animals, for example, gives them sustained power and activity per unit of weight, but at the cost of requiring constant consumption of food and water. Very large animals, with their relatively low metabolic rates, can survive well on a sporadic food supply, but can generate little metabolic energy per gram of body weight. If only oxidative metabolic rate is considered, therefore, one might assume that smaller, more active, animals could prey on larger ones, at least if they attacked in groups. Perhaps they could if it were not for anaerobic glycolysis, the great equalizer. Anaerobic glycolysis is a process in which energy is produced, without oxygen, through the breakdown of muscle glycogen into lactic acid and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy provider. The amount of energy that can be produced anaerobically is a function of the amount of glycogen present—in all vertebrates about 0.5 percent of their muscle’s weight. Thus, the anaerobic energy reserves of a vertebrate are proportional to the size of the animal. If, for example, some predators had attacked a 100-ton dinosaur, normally torpid, the dinosaur would have been able to generate almost instantaneously, via anaerobic glycolysis, the energy of 3,000 humans at maximum oxidative metabolic energy production. This explains how many large species have managed to compete with their more active neighbours: the compensation for a low oxidative metabolic rate is glycolysis.

Q. The passage suggests that the total anaerobic energy reserves of a vertebrate are proportional to the vertebrate’s size because

Detailed Solution for UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 18
Total anaerobic energy reserves of a vertebrate are proportional to the vertebrate’s size because as we know the amount of muscle tissue in a vertebrate is directly related to its

Size.

UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 19

One-way governments can decrease air pollution is to impose a tax on industrial carbon dioxide emissions. It is not clear how high taxes imposed on carbon dioxide emissions should be or what its economic and environmental implications would be. At first glance, it is not difficult to estimate roughly the size of the tax needed to effect a given level of emission reduction. One writer estimate, for example, that a tax of 41 percent on the price of coal, 33 percent on oil, and 25 percent on gas would reduce the United Kingdom’s emissions by 20 percent (using 1988as the base year) by the year 2005, the target recommended by the 1988 Toronto Conference. These numbers are based on the assumption that all countries will behave cooperatively in imposing a carbon tax.

Q. According to the passage, the size of the carbon tax levied on a given fuel would vary with the

Detailed Solution for UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 19
In the passage it is mentioned that “a tax of 41 percent on the price of coal, 33 percent on oil, and 25 percent on gas” implies that according to the passage, the size of the carbon tax levied on a given fuel would vary with the amount of pollution caused by the fuel being taxed.

UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 20

One-way governments can decrease air pollution is to impose a tax on industrial carbon dioxide emissions. A significant decrease is achieved only when all countries will behave cooperatively in imposing carbon tax. There are very strong reasons to believe that cooperation would be difficult to win. If most countries cooperated, then any country that chose not to cooperate would be advantaged: it would have no abatement costs, and the effect on the environment of its defection would be relatively small. Because of this "free rider" effect, cooperation on a scale needed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions might prove elusive. Should countries act unilaterally to curb emissions? If a country were to act unilaterally, the benefits would be spread across the globe, whereas the costs would fall solely on the country taking the action. The action would reduce emissions globally, and the effect of this would be to reduce the benefit other countries would receive if they reduced emissions. As a consequence, other countries would have less incentive to reduce emissions and would probably emit more carbon dioxide than they would have if the unilateral action had not been taken. The entire effect of the emission reduction may not be lost, but it would surely be diminished by this free-riding behaviour.

Q. Which one of the following is most parallel to the "free rider” effect mentioned in passage?

Detailed Solution for UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 23

Since, Ramya invested for 8 months and Sheela invested for 10 months, Ratio of their shares = (35000 * 8 ) : (42000 * 10) = 2 : 3.

Ramya's share Rs. 31570 * (2 / 5) = Rs. 12628.

UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 24

What is the sum of all natural numbers between 100 and 200 which are multiples of 3?

Detailed Solution for UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 24
  • Multiples of 3 between 100 and 200 are 102, 105, 108, 198.

  • Here, the first term = 102 last term = 198

  • Let the number of Multiples of 3 between 100 and 200 = n

  • Arithmetic Progression Formula: an = a1 + (n - 1)d

  • Where, an = last term = 198

  • a1 = first term = 102

  • d = common difference = 105 - 102 = 3

    ⇒ 198 = 102 + (n - 1) * 3

    ⇒ 198 - 102 = (n - 1) * 3

    ⇒ 96 = (n - 1) * 3

    ⇒ (n - 1) = 96/3 = 32

    ⇒ n = 32 + 1

    ⇒ n = 33

Formula: Sum of n terms = Sn = (n/2) * (a1 + an )

where n = number of elements = 33

a1 = first term = 102

an= last term = 198

Thus, using the above formula, Sum of all natural numbers between 100 and 200 which are multiples of 3 = (33/2) * (102 + 198)

= (33/2) * 300

= 33 * 150

= 4950

UKPSC Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test - 1 - Question 25

The Christmas season, of course, is an appropriate time of year to reflect on busyness. The time between Christmas and New Year should be a time for reflection and relaxation, but is often stressed. Rather than taking time out after the busyness of Christmas preparations, many of us find ourselves in a whirlwind of sales shopping, sporting activities, or visiting friends or family. One form of busyness is replaced by another. Being busy has become so ubiquitous it has come to mean everything and nothing. As more people identify with the problem of busyness, some of us seek advice from time management experts about how to manage our busy lives. But data suggests that we are not as busy as we think we are. Social scientists who, specialise in researching every day time- use can compare trends in how we spend time from the 1960s onwards. The UK expert on time use, Jonathan Gershuny, claims that actual time spent in work has not increased since the 1960s - but what we mean by busyness has changed over time. In his view, busyness has become a badge of honour. There are a number of reasons for this change in definition. More women in the workforce mean that more households have to juggle both partners working with the demands of domestic routines. Meanwhile, social prestige is associated with being busy and, as we often experience at Christmas, leisure time has become more of an intensive experience.

According to author visiting friends, shopping etc while Christmas is?
