Telangana Police SI Mock Test - 8 - Telangana Police SI MCQ

According to the information given in the question, we can draw the following diagram.

BC = 24 m
FC = ED = 12 m
FC = 12 m
Thus point F is in the west w.r.t to point C and 12 m from point C.
Hence, the correct answer is "12 m west".

As the cry of 'Dog' is called 'Bark' in the same way the cry of 'Goat' is called 'Bleat'.

81^1/2  can be written as (9) ^2x1/2 =  9 

As we know the formula,

7/8 x -4/21 = -1/6

Option B is the correct answer.

9 = (3)²

8 = (3 - 1)³

and 16 = (4)²

? = (4 - 1)³ = 27

After rearrangement, we get the following arrangement:

So, E is sitting 3rd to the left of D after rearrangement.
Hence, Option C is correct.
Final Arrangement:

Common explanation:
References:
Six person A, B, C, D, E and F sit around a triangular table.
One person sits at each corner of the table facing away from the centre while one person sits at the middle of each edge facing toward the centre.
Inferences:
So, we need to arrange as follows to accommodate the information as stated in the question,

References:
Three persons sit between C and D, who is not facing the centre.
Inferences:
From the above reference, we get two different cases:
Case 1:

Case 2:

References:
F sits third to the left of C.
A sits second to the left of E.
A is not an immediate neighbour of D.
Inferences:
So, from this case 2 will be eliminated as A is not an immediate neighbour of D.
Case 1:

Case 2: (Eliminated)

Hence, Case 1 is the final arrangement.

Let CP = 100x
SP = 107.50x

Hence, Option B is correct.

The lengths of three pieces of timber are 42m, 49m and 63m respectively. 

We have to divide the timber into equal length of planks. 

∴ Greatest possible length of each plank = HCF (42, 49, 63) 

Prime factorization: 

42 = 2 × 3 × 7 

49 = 7 × 7 

63 = 3 × 3 × 7 

∴HCF = Product of the smallest power of each common prime factor involved in the numbers = 7 

Hence, the greatest possible length of each plank is 7m.

To solve this problem, we need to evaluate the expression (100 - 99⁰) x 100. Let's break it down step by step:
Step 1: Evaluate 99⁰: Any number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1. So, 99⁰ = 1.
Step 2: Substitute the value of 99⁰ into the expression: (100 - 1) x 100 = 99 x 100.
Step 3: Multiply 99 and 100: 99 x 100 = 9900.
Therefore, the value of the expression (100 - 99⁰) x 100 is 9900.
Hence, the correct answer is C: 9900.

From Statement I: From this statement, we get the following arrangement:

So, we get that X is 2nd to the left of Y.

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

From Statement II: From this statement, we get the following arrangement:

In both cases, we get X is 2nd to the left of Y.

Clearly, Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Given number: 7 8 3 4 3 2 9 5 1 3

After interchanging the digits,
New number: 8 7 4 3 2 3 5 9 3 1

6th digit from right end

• Ajatashatru is indeed credited with military innovations such as the war engine and a mace-attached chariot, which he used in his conquests, making statement 1 correct.

General Service Enlistment Act of 25 July 1856 espoused that the Bengal Army shall take upon the responsibility of serving overseas, if need be. Out if the three Presidencies, only the armies of Bombay and Madras had the obligation of serving overseas, as such they faced immense strain for deployment at Burma and China fronts. The General Services Enlistment Act called for the same from Bengal Army as well that faced great resentment because they were initially exempted from overseas operations.

The New Enlistment Act of 1856 entailed that every unit of the Bengal Army was accountable for servings overseas, if asked to do so. Though this was applicable to only the new recruits of the Bengal Army, the older recruits feared that they too would be asked to do so and hence they resented.
