PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 1

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

The second-largest colony of emperor penguins in the world appears to be collapsing, after rough seas drowned all of its babies three winters in a row.

The Halley Bay colony once accounted for 5 to 9% of the global emperor penguin population, according to the British Antarctic Survey (BAC), which reported the catastrophe. That amounted to about 15,000 to 24,000 adult breeding pairs. But in 2016, the sea-ice platform on which the colony was raising its babies collapsed during rough weather, throwing infant penguins unable to swim into the frigid water. In 2017 and 2018, the rough weather pattern repeated itself.

The birds arrive at the site from their summer sea jaunts each April to breed; for the resulting chicks to survive, the site has to remain stable throughout the Southern Hemisphere’s winter, which lasts until December.

By 2018, a handful of adults — a "few hundred," or about 2 percent of the original population — turned up at the Halley Bay site, the researchers reported. The remaining colony appeared in disarray, with adults moving closer to the ice edge than is typical, and was difficult to count scattered among the roughened chunks of ice.

The good news is that at least some of the colony appears to have moved, rather than died out. The Dawson-Lambton Glacier colony 34 miles (55 kilometres) to the south has significantly swelled in numbers since the devastation of Halley Bay, the BAC reported. That colony, which had hit a low of just 1,280 pairs in the 2015 season, swelled in each succeeding year. In 2016, it reached 5,315 pairs. In 2017, there were 11,117 pairs. And by 2018, a full 14,612 pairs set up camp at the site.

Q. Which of the following is false in the context of the passage?

I. The Dawson-Lambton Glacier colony died due to collapse of rough sea.
II. The penguin birds breed during April every year.
III. Halley Bay colony reached 5315 pairs in 2016.

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 1

Refer:
Dawson-Lambton Glacier colony 34 miles (55 kilometers) to the south has significantly swelled in numbers since the devastation of Halley Bay, the BAC reported.
Thus statement I is false as the colony is swelled rather than died.
Refer:
The birds arrive at the site from their summer sea jaunts each April to breed
Thus statement II is true.
Refer:
Dawson-Lambton Glacier colony 34 miles (55 kilometers) to the south has significantly swelled in numbers since the devastation of Halley Bay, the BAC reported. That colony, which had hit a low of just 1,280 pairs in the 2015 season, swelled in each succeeding year. In 2016, it reached 5,315 pairs.
Clearly, the statement taken as reference confirms that it's Dawson-Lambton colony and not Halley Bay that reached 5315 pairs in 2016. Thus statement III is false.
Hence option C is correct.

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 6

Direction: In the questions given below a sentence is given with two blanks in each. Corresponding to each question two columns are given with three words in each column. Which combination of words from the two columns will perfectly fit into the blanks to make the sentence contextually correct and meaningful? 

Acute encephalitis syndrome or AES is a basket term used for ______________ to various symptoms in children with clinical neurological manifestation that ______________ mental confusion, disorientation, convulsion, delirium, or coma. 

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 6

According to the given context, we are saying that AES is a disease that includes a lot of symptoms as described in the sentence.

If we come to the words given the columns, there is only one word that can fill the first blank and that is referring whereas for the second blank we can use the word includes. Therefore the combination of A-F will be correct to make the given sentence meaningful and contextually correct and there is no other combination of words that will make the sentence correct. This makes

Option C the correct choice among the given options.

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 7

Direction: Each question below has one blank, which is indicating that something has been omitted. Find out which option can be used to fill up the blank in the sentence in the same sequence to make it meaningfully complete. 

Mortgage or home loan _____________ is essentially a life policy that covers the borrower against the non-payment of loan in case of his / her death.

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 7

In the given context we are talking about something that will cover against any default in the home loans in case of untimely death of the borrowers. It is going to be a cover against any kind of unforeseen circumstances during the currency of the loan. Only insurance cover will be able to cover against such issues. Therefore, the correct word would be insurance whereas the rest cannot be used since they do not imply the correct meaning of the given sentence.  

This makes Option C the correct choice among the given options.

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 8

Directions: In the following questions, a sentence is given with two blanks. You have to find the pair of words from the given options that fit both the blanks in the given order and make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. 

While the practice _______ food security it does not _______ adequate cash for the families.

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 8

Option A – “Assure” is grammatically incorrect, With singular subject verb should also be singular.

Option B – Due to the above mentioned reason “Provide” is also incorrect. 

Option C – “Allows” does not fit in the first blank as it brings absurdity to the context of the sentence. 

Option D- Both the words are grammatically as well as contextually correct. 

Hence option D is correct. 

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 9

Direction: In the passage given below there are 5 words given and each of these words is represented by a letter. For each word four alternative words are given as options A, B, C and D. You have to find which word among the options best replaces the already given word. 

In the Open Budget Survey, which was conducted by International Budget Partnership (IBP), India has been placed at 53rd position among 117 nations in terms of budget transparency and accountability. With the score higher than the ____ A ____ average, our nation scored 49 out of 100 whereas New Zealand topped with a score of 87.
This survey was conducted to encourage public ____ B ____ to budget information and the ____ C ____ of explicable systems of budget. The areas where India lagged are ‘the Pre-Budget Statement’ and the non ____ D ____ of ‘Mid Year Review’ in FY 2018-19.
In order to ensure that the hard-earned public resources are used satisfactorily and meticulously, a high degree of ____ E ____ needs to be maintained with government finances.

Q. Select the most appropriate option that will fill in the blank (E)

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 9

Refer to:

In order to ensure that the hard earned public resources are used satisfactorily and meticulously, a high degree of ____ E ____ needs to be maintained with government finances.

It is quite clear from the sentence that a noun will be placed in the blank.

Thus, lucid (clear) and canny (Acute) being adjectives are eliminated.

Also, accelerate (to move more quickly) which is a verb is also grammatically unfit.

Now ambiguity (uncertainty) although being a noun totally contradicts the context. Whereas, transparency fits grammatically and contextually.

Option C is hence the correct answer.

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 10

Direction: In the passage given below there are 5 words given and each of these words is represented by a letter. For each word four alternative words are given as options A, B, C and D. You have to find which word among the options best replaces the already given word. 

In the Open Budget Survey, which was conducted by International Budget Partnership (IBP), India has been placed at 53rd position among 117 nations in terms of budget transparency and accountability. With the score higher than the ____ A ____ average, our nation scored 49 out of 100 whereas New Zealand topped with a score of 87.
This survey was conducted to encourage public ____ B ____ to budget information and the ____ C ____ of explicable systems of budget. The areas where India lagged are ‘the Pre-Budget Statement’ and the non ____ D ____ of ‘Mid Year Review’ in FY 2018-19.
In order to ensure that the hard-earned public resources are used satisfactorily and meticulously, a high degree of ____ E ____ needs to be maintained with government finances.

Q. Select the most appropriate option that will fill in the blank (C)

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 10

Refer to:

‘the ____ C ____ of explicable systems of budget.’

We can clearly see that the blank will preferably be filled by a noun.

Therefore verbs like ‘validate’, ‘ratify’ (to confirm something) and ‘gratify’ (satisfy) will be eliminated.’

‘Adoption of explicable systems of budget’ perfectly explains the entire passage contextually.

Option A is hence the correct answer.

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 11

Direction: In the passage given below there are 5 words given and each of these words is represented by a letter. For each word four alternative words are given as options A, B, C and D. You have to find which word among the options best replaces the already given word. 

In the Open Budget Survey, which was conducted by International Budget Partnership (IBP), India has been placed at 53rd position among 117 nations in terms of budget transparency and accountability. With the score higher than the ____ A ____ average, our nation scored 49 out of 100 whereas New Zealand topped with a score of 87.
This survey was conducted to encourage public ____ B ____ to budget information and the ____ C ____ of explicable systems of budget. The areas where India lagged are ‘the Pre-Budget Statement’ and the non ____ D ____ of ‘Mid Year Review’ in FY 2018-19.
In order to ensure that the hard-earned public resources are used satisfactorily and meticulously, a high degree of ____ E ____ needs to be maintained with government finances.

Q. Select the most appropriate option that will fill in the blank (A)

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 11

Refer to:

‘With the score higher than the ____ A ____ average, our nation scored 49 out of 100 whereas New Zealand topped with a score 87.’

By reading this sentence carefully, we can deduce that the survey included many countries worldwide and not just a particular region.

Therefore options like ‘partial’ and ‘regional’ are eliminated here as they contradict the statement.

‘additive’ is contextually unfit.

Now the phrase ‘global average’ is more relevant than ‘inclusive average’.

Option B is hence the correct answer.

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 12

Direction: In the passage given below there are 5 words given and each of these words is represented by a letter. For each word four alternative words are given as options A, B, C and D. You have to find which word among the options best replaces the already given word. 

In the Open Budget Survey, which was conducted by International Budget Partnership (IBP), India has been placed at 53rd position among 117 nations in terms of budget transparency and accountability. With the score higher than the ____ A ____ average, our nation scored 49 out of 100 whereas New Zealand topped with a score of 87.
This survey was conducted to encourage public ____ B ____ to budget information and the ____ C ____ of explicable systems of budget. The areas where India lagged are ‘the Pre-Budget Statement’ and the non ____ D ____ of ‘Mid Year Review’ in FY 2018-19.
In order to ensure that the hard-earned public resources are used satisfactorily and meticulously, a high degree of ____ E ____ needs to be maintained with government finances.

Q. Select the most appropriate option that will fill in the blank (D)

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 12

Refer to:

‘The areas where India lagged are ‘the Pre-Budget Statement’ and the non ____ D ____ of ‘Mid Year Review’ in FY 2018-19.’

‘Arrogate’ (to claim something) being a verb is grammatically incorrect. Clearly, ‘abandoning’ (leaving) and ‘regression’ (being back to formal state) contextually contradicts the idea of the statement.

Between the options ‘availability’ and ‘comprehension’ (understanding), ‘availability’ is a better choice.

Option B is hence the correct answer.

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 13

Direction: In the passage given below there are 5 words given and each of these words is represented by a letter. For each word four alternative words are given as options A, B, C and D. You have to find which word among the options best replaces the already given word. 

In the Open Budget Survey, which was conducted by International Budget Partnership (IBP), India has been placed at 53rd position among 117 nations in terms of budget transparency and accountability. With the score higher than the ____ A ____ average, our nation scored 49 out of 100 whereas New Zealand topped with a score of 87.
This survey was conducted to encourage public ____ B ____ to budget information and the ____ C ____ of explicable systems of budget. The areas where India lagged are ‘the Pre-Budget Statement’ and the non ____ D ____ of ‘Mid Year Review’ in FY 2018-19.
In order to ensure that the hard-earned public resources are used satisfactorily and meticulously, a high degree of ____ E ____ needs to be maintained with government finances.

Q. Select the most appropriate option that will fill in the blank (B)

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 13

Refer to:

‘This survey was conducted to encourage public ____ B ____ to budget information.’

‘Dissuasion’ (the action or process of trying to persuade someone not to take a part) and ‘liability’ being negative words cannot be placed in the blank.

Between ‘fortification’ (means to claim something), ‘assurance’ and ‘access’, ‘public assess’ fits in the most relevant manner.

Option D is hence the correct answer.

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 14

Directions: A sentence given below has been divided into four parts which have been jumbled up. You must choose the option which gives the correct sequence of the parts. 
Need for new officers right now, (A) / rates of retirement and attrition (B) / the department has an unprecedented (C) / apparently due to higher-than-usual (D)

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 14

After reading all the fragments, fragment C should be the first fragment in the sentence as it starts with the subject ‘the department’. The first fragment mentions that the department has ‘an unprecedented’ and this should be followed by a noun. Fragments A and B start with nouns but fragment B cannot be the next fragment as the noun used is plural while fragment C mentions ‘an’ which indicates that the noun has to be singular. This makes fragment A the next fragment.
The next fragment will be D which mentions the reason for the new officers. Fragment D ends with the adjective ‘usual’ and it must be followed by a noun which is there in fragment B. Thus, DB is a mandatory pair.
Correct Sentence:
The department has an unprecedented need for new officers right now, apparently due to higher-than-usual rates of retirement and attrition.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 15

Directions: Given below are four jumbled phrases of a sentence. Out of the given options, pick the one that gives their correct order.
A. To this outrage with
B. Refusing medical aid
C. She responded
D. Her customary fortitude,

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 15

The correct sequence is CADB.

Part C tells that she responded, followed by part A that she responded to this outrage with, followed by part D that she responded to this outrage with her customary fortitude (courage), followed by part B that she responded to this outrage with her customary fortitude (courage) by refusing medical aid.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 16

Directions: Rearrange the following five sentences A, B, C, D and E in the proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph and then answer the question given beside.
A. It appears that one of the lessons New Delhi learnt from the standoff with China along the Line of Actual Control in 2020 was that it was perhaps a consequence of India’s growing proximity to the U.S.

B. New Delhi has had a complicated relationship with Washington which is increasingly getting normalised and interests-driven.

C. Or, should India continue the strategic partnership with the U.S. irrespective of what China thinks about it?

D. Despite its withdrawal from the region, Washington is seeking to re-engage southern Asia (Pakistan, South Asia in general, the Indo-Pacific, and perhaps even the Taliban).

E. If so, should New Delhi temper its relations with the U.S., particularly in the Indo-Pacific, in the hope that this will keep Beijing’s aggression at bay?

What will be the position of statement D after the rearrangement of sentences?

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 16

The correct sequence of the sentences will be: BDAEC

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Common Explanation:

The passage is about the relationship between Washington and New Delhi. The first statement will be statement B which mentions that they have a complicated relationship and it is increasingly getting interests-driven. Statement D will be the next statement as it mentions that even though Washington has withdrawn from the Southern Asian region, it is trying to re-engage. The next statement will be statement A which mentions that the reason for standoff with China was probably the proximity with the US.

The next statements present a choice for India. Statement E mentions that if the stated reason is true, should India change its relations with the US to keep things normal with China. The next statement will be statement C which mentions the other course of action that India may continue the strategic partnership with the US irrespective of China.

The correct sequence of the sentences will be: BDAEC

PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 21

A bus covered 25% of the distance at the speed of 50 km/h. 40% of the distance at 80 km/h and the remaining distance at 70 km/hr. If in the next day, the speed of the bus driver is 175% of the average speed of the previous day, then find the time taken to complete the 486 km distance by bus.

Detailed Solution for PFRDA Assistant Manager Phase 1 Mock Test - 7 (Paper 1) - Question 21
Let the total distance be 100 km.

25% of the total distance = 25 km

40% of the total distance = 40 km

Remaining distance = 100 – 25 – 40 = 35 km

Average speed = total distance/total time

100/(25/50 + 40/80 + 35/70)= 100/(3/2) = 200/3 = 66.66 km/hr

Speed of bus on next day = 66.66 × 175/100 = 116.66 km/hr

Time taken by bus to cover the distance = 486/116.66 = 4.16 hours
