APSC JE CE Paper 1 Mock Test - 9 - Civil Engineering (CE) MCQ

Given:

The ratio of the present age of Annu and Raj = 4 : 5

Then after 8 years ratio of their age = 5 : 6

Calculation:

Let be assume the present age of Annu and Raj is 4x and 5x respectively

⇒ (4x + 8)/(5x + 8) = 5/6

⇒ 24x + 48 = 25x + 40

⇒ x = 8

⇒ The age of Annu = 4x = 4 × 8 = 32

⇒ The age of Raj = 5x = 5 × 8 = 40

∴ The required result will be 32 years, and 40 years respectively.

Let the number be x.

According to the question,

⇒ 80% of x - 80 = 80

⇒ 80% of x = 80 + 80

⇒ (80/100)x = 160

⇒ 80x = 160 × 100

⇒ x = 16000/80

⇒ x = 200

Hence, the correct answer is "200".

As per the given information;

Distance between S and P = √(PQ² + QS²)
SP = √(6² + 8²)
SP = √(36 + 64)
SP = √100
SP = 10 km
Hence, S is 10 km in South-East with respect to P.

The logic follows here is:

Now,

Karan is 17 years old, has a weight of 47 kgs, and a height of 161 cms.

It is clearly mentioned in the criteria of Physical in Sub-inspector and Army recruitment about the weight and height of the candidate. Karan has a weight of 47 kgs and a height of 161 cms which is less than the criteria set for both the recruitment. Therefore, Karan neither qualifies for Physical in Sub-inspector and Army recruitment.

Hence, the correct answer is "Neither Sub-inspector nor Army recruitment".
