CUET PG MBA Mock Test - 2 - CUET PG MCQ

The passage mentions, "Every picture by Monticelli provokes astonishment; constructed upon one colour as upon a musical theme, it rises to intensities which one would have thought impossible." This indicates that Monticelli's paintings surprise and astonish viewers with the remarkable depths achieved through the use of a single colour and musical theme-like construction. Therefore, option B reflects the author's opinion as expressed in the passage. Other statements are not supported by the text.
Statement A is not accurate according to the passage. The passage emphasises the "inspired sense of colour" in Monticelli's works and describes them as having a "powerful harmony" and a "profusion" of colour.
Statement C is incorrect. While the passage does describe Monticelli's paintings in positive terms and highlights their intense colours and harmonious qualities, it does not explicitly state that the subjects are elevated to a divine level.
Statement D is not mentioned in the passage. The passage focuses more on the technical aspects of Monticelli's paintings, such as his unique use of colour, rich brushwork, and overall harmony, rather than emphasising the viewer's interpretation.

The passage mentions Félix Ziem as a "luminous and sparkling landscapist," indicating that Ziem was known for his landscape paintings.
The passage also mentions that "Many Monticellis have been sold by dealers as Diaz's." This implies that Monticelli's works were sometimes sold under the name of another artist, specifically Diaz.
The passage states, "Many Monticellis have been sold by dealers as Diaz's; now they are more eagerly looked for than Diaz." This indicates a shift in their popularity.
The passage draws a comparison between Monticelli's technique and that of Turner, stating that Monticelli painted with a brush similar to Turner's. This suggests a similarity or sharing of painting technique between Monticelli and Turner.

Inlet pipe A can fill the tank in 1/32 hours.
Inlet pipe B can fill the tank in 1/28 hours.
Parts of the tank filled by pipes A and B in 2 hours = (1/32 + 1/28) = 15/224 units
Parts of the tank filled by pipes A and B in (14 × 2 = 28 hours) = 210/224
Remaining part to be filled = 1 - 210/224 = 14/224
Now, tap A will be opened.
1/32 part is filled in 1 hour.
14/224 will be filled in 32 × 14/224 = 2 hours.
Total time to fill the tank by both pipes A and B = 30 hours

We know that a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²).
428 × 428 × 428+ 348 x 348 × 348 / 428 × 428 - 428 × 348 + 348 x 348
= 428³ + 348³ / (428)² - 428 x 348 + (348)²
We know that a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²).
a + b = a³ + b³ / a² - a x b + b²
428³ + 348³ / (428)² - 428 x 348 + (348)²
= 428 + 348 = 776

⁶C₃ × ⁵C₂ = 6! / (6 - 3)!3! x 5! / (5 - 2)!2!
= (6 x 5 x 4 / 3 x 2 x 1) X (5 x 4 / 2 x 1) = 200

A – I: 'Well, what about other colours? Cue the iridophores. Think of a second level of skin that has thin stacks of cells. These can reflect light back at different wavelengths.'
B – III: Papillae are sections of the skin that can be deformed to make a texture bumpy. Even humans possess them (goosebumps) but cannot use them in the manner that cephalopods can.
C – II: '[Chromatophores] are organs on their bodies that contain pigment sacs, which have red, yellow and brown pigment granules. These sacs have a network of radial muscles, meaning muscles arranged in a circle radiating outwards.'

Seven people, P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V, are sitting in a straight row, facing the north.
Step 1: Only two people sit to the right of U.
Step 2: Only two people sit to the left of R.

Step 3: Only two people sit between U and Q.
Step 4: Only three people sit between R and V.

Step 5: T is not an immediate neighbour of U.
Step 6: S sits to the right of U.

According to the arrangement, S sits to the immediate right of U.
Hence, "Option 2" is the correct answer.

Options A, B and D get support from the passage. Refer to the following parts:
A: "The earliest fertilisers were manure, but later, larger yields were obtained by adding balanced combinations of those nutrients (e.g. potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus and calcium) that crop plants require in greatest quantity. Because high yields are essential, most modern agriculture depends upon the continued addition of chemical fertilisers to the soil."
B: "In rotation systems, a pasture crop is often grown the end, because such plants can restore nitrogen to the soil through the action of bacteria that live in nodules on their roots."
D: "... in areas in which soils were deep and rich in minerals, farming could be carried on for many years without the return of any nutrients to the soil other than those supplied through the natural breakdown of plant and animal wastes."
Option C is nowhere mentioned in the passage.

Crop rotation preserves soil and prevents buildup of pests. The passage mentions, "The practice of crop rotation was discovered to be useful way to maintain the condition of the soil, and also to prevent the buildup of those insects and other plants pests that are attracted to a particular kind of crop." So, option 3 is correct.

Option 2: It is the correct answer. "Chip in" is a common phrasal verb meaning to contribute or give assistance. In this context, it conveys the idea that each player needs to contribute their skill to help win the match.
Option 1: "Chip off" typically means to break off a small piece or fragment from a larger object. This doesn't convey the idea of contributing or participating in a cooperative effort.
Option 3: This doesn't form a common phrasal verb and doesn't convey the intended meaning in this context.
Option 4: This phrasal verb means to gradually make progress or reduce something bit by bit, but it doesn't convey the intended meaning of contributing to a collective effort.

Here, ∠BAQ = 105^o
We know that the angle made on the circumference of the circle by the diameter is of 90°.
Hence, ∠PAQ = 90°
Hence, ∠PAB = 105° - 90° = 15°
So, by alternate segment theorem, ∠AQP = 15°
By angle sum property of triangle in triangle APQ:
∠A + ∠Q + ∠P = 180°
90 ° + 15° + ∠P = 180°
∠P = 75° = required angle
Hence, answer option 4 is correct.

A – III: A 'Mnemonist' is a person who has developed the ability to enhance their memory to an extraordinary degree.
B – IV: The term 'Philomath' is used to describe individuals who are passionate about studying and gaining expertise in various fields.
C – I: An 'Epicure' is a person who has refined taste, especially in food and drink.
D – II: An 'Alpinist' is an individual who specialises in mountain climbing, particularly in the Alps.

2 Men = 5 Women - 2 Women = 5 Boys 

From these equivalences: - 4 Men = 10 Women (since 2 Men are equivalent to 5 Women, thus 4 Men are equivalent to 10 Women) - 10 Women = 25 Boys (since 2 Women are equivalent to 5 Boys, thus 10 Women are equivalent to 25 Boys)

Therefore, 4 men, 10 women, and 25 boys are equivalent to 12 men (4 + 4 + 4).

If one man can complete the job in 120 days, then 12 men working together would complete the same job in: 120 days / 12 = 10 days 

Thus, the job would be completed in 10 days when 4 men, 10 women, and 25 boys work together.

Let the present CP be 100.
New CP = 200
New profit = 65% of 200 = 65/100 × 200 = 65 × 2 = 130
New SP = 200 + 130 = 330
New SP = 3 × Present SP
Present SP = 110
Present profit = 110 - 100 / 100 × 100% = 10%
Hence, answer option 4 is correct.

Perimeter of triangle = 60 cm
a + b + c = 60 cm
a + b = 60 - 26
a + b = 34 cm
Squaring both sides,
(a + b)² = 34²
a² + b² + 2ab = 34² ----------1
As given, a² + b² = (26)² cm ----------2
Subtract 2 from 1, we get
a² + b² + 2ab - a² - b² = 34² - 26²
ab = 240
area of triangle = 1/2ab = 1/2 × 240 = 120 cm²
