A can do a piece of work in 20 days. He works at it for 5 days and then B finishes it in 10 moredays. In how many days will A and B together finish the work?

Detailed Solution for SSC MTS Mock Test - 5 - Question 3

In 5 days, A would do 25% of the work. Since, B finishes the remaining 75% work in 10 days, we
can conclude that B’s work in a day = 7.5%
Thus, (A + B) = 12.5% per day.
Together they would take 100/12.5 = 8 days.

SSC MTS Mock Test - 5 - Question 4

After giving a discount of 40%, the profit becomes half (in amount) with respect to the total profit when there is no discount. What percent discount has to be given if there is no profit and no loss?

Detailed Solution for SSC MTS Mock Test - 5 - Question 4

Assume x as CP and y as MP.
Profit when discount is 40% = (0.6y - x)
Profit when there is no discount = (y - x)

ATQ,
(y - x)/2= (0.6y - x)
(y - x)= 2(0.6y - x)
0.2y = x
y = 5x
So, MP is five times CP.
For no profit and loss,
SP = x
Discount = MP - SP = 4x
% discount to be offered = (4x/5x) × 100 = 80%

There are two possible constructions after ‘require’ One is ‘someone requires someone else to do something’. The other uses the subjunctive. For example, ‘I require that you be on time’.

D is also grammatically correct and is shorter and simpler than B and is therefore the correct answer. It is active rather than the passive B.

Q. Which of following is the FIRST sentence after rearrangement?

Sentence 3 is the leading sentence as it introduces the character 'Sally' who walks out of the hospital. After coming out of the hospital, she goes back home in 'car' (sentence 1). 'Drive' in sentence 6 refers to 'car' in 1. So, 6 follows 1. Sentence 4 intensifies the situation ('even harder') and falls next in the sequence. After reaching the 'empty house', she carries 'Jimmy's belongings' to the room (sentence 2) and places the stuff there (sentence 5). Sentence 5 follows sentence 2, as 'his' in 5 refers to 'Jimmy' in 2. The correct sequence is: 3-1-6-4-2-5.

SSC MTS Mock Test - 5 - Question 26

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the question that follows.

After a worrying pre-monsoon phase between March and May, when rainfall was scarce, the current robust season in most parts of coastal, western and central India augurs well for the entire economy. Aided apparently by beneficial conditions in the Indian Ocean, very heavy rainfall has been recorded, notably in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, the northeastern States, Karnataka, the Konkan coast, hilly districts of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. This pattern may extend into Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Bengal and other eastern regions. A normal Indian Summer Monsoon is bountiful overall, but as last year’s flooding in Kerala, and the Chennai catastrophe of 2015 showed, there can be a terrible cost in terms of lives and property lost, and people displaced. Distressing scenes of death and destruction are again being witnessed. Even in a rain-shadow region such as Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu, the collapse of a railway parcel office after a downpour has led to avoidable deaths. What this underscores is the need to prepare for the rainy season with harvesting measures, as advocated by the Centre’s Jal Shakti Abhiyan, and a safety audit of structures, particularly those used by the official agencies. In drafting their management plans, States must be aware of the scientific consensus: that future rain spells may be short, often unpredictable and very heavy influenced by a changing climate. They need to invest in reliable infrastructure to mitigate the impact of flooding and avert disasters that could have global consequences in an integrated economy.

The long-term trends for flood impact in India have been one of declining loss of lives and cattle since the decadal high of 1971-80, but rising absolute economic losses, though not as a share of GDP. It is important, therefore, to increase resilience through planning, especially in cities and towns which are expanding steadily. Orderly urban development is critical for sustainability, as the mega flood disasters in Mumbai and Chennai witnessed in this century make clear. It is worth pointing out that the response of State governments to the imperative is tardy and even indifferent. They are hesitant to act against encroachment of lake catchments, river courses and floodplains. The extreme distress in Chennai, for instance, has not persuaded the State government against allowing structures such as a police station being constructed on a lake bed, after reclassification of land. Granting such permissions is an abdication of responsibility and a violation of National Disaster Management Authority Guidelines to prevent urban flooding. As a nation that is set to become the most populous in less than a decade, India must address its crippling cycles of drought and flood with redoubled vigour. Scientific hydrology, coupled with the traditional wisdom of saving water through large innovative structures, will mitigate floods and help communities prosper.

Q. Which among the following is correct regarding the pattern of rainfall in the future as declared by the scientific community?

Detailed Solution for SSC MTS Mock Test - 5 - Question 26

Refer to, “States must be aware of the scientific consensus: that future rain spells may be short, often unpredictable and very heavy influenced by a changing climate.”

It is clear from the passage that the future rain spells will not be very much predictable since there will be rains sometime very heavily and it will mainly be because of the changing climate in India as well as in other areas of the world. The scientific community has already explained that it is going to be the future of monsoon and the states should be prepared to handle such situations. Among the given options, we can easily choose Option D for this since it gives us the correct information whereas the rest can be eliminated for being irrelevant in the context of the passage.

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

SSC MTS Mock Test - 5 - Question 27

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the question that follows.

After a worrying pre-monsoon phase between March and May, when rainfall was scarce, the current robust season in most parts of coastal, western and central India augurs well for the entire economy. Aided apparently by beneficial conditions in the Indian Ocean, very heavy rainfall has been recorded, notably in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, the northeastern States, Karnataka, the Konkan coast, hilly districts of Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

Q. Which among the following is correct regarding the response of the states to the need to tackle flood situations?

Detailed Solution for SSC MTS Mock Test - 5 - Question 27

This is stated in the passage that the response of the states towards the importance of flood control measures has not been that great. They are mainly indifferent to such things and that is why we have seen floods in various areas especially in the urban areas such as Chennai in the recent times. The author is of the opinion that such floods will actually be very harmful for the cities. Among the given options, we have Option D which gives us the correct information regarding the response of the states whereas the rest are eliminated as they do not follow from the passage.

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

SSC MTS Mock Test - 5 - Question 28

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the question that follows.

After a worrying pre-monsoon phase between March and May, when rainfall was scarce, the current robust season in most parts of coastal, western and central India augurs well for the entire economy. Aided apparently by beneficial conditions in the Indian Ocean, very heavy rainfall has been recorded, notably in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, the northeastern States, Karnataka, the Konkan coast, hilly districts of Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

They need to invest in reliable infrastructure to mitigate the impact of flooding and avert disasters that could have global consequences in an integrated economy.

The long-term trends for flood impact in India have been one of declining loss of lives and cattle since the decadal high of 1971-80, but rising absolute economic losses, though not as a share of GDP. It is important, therefore, to increase resilience through planning, especially in cities and towns which are expanding steadily. Orderly urban development is critical for sustainability, as the mega flood disasters in Mumbai and Chennai witnessed in this century make clear.

Scientific hydrology, coupled with the traditional wisdom of saving water through large innovative structures, will mitigate floods and help communities prosper.

Q. Which among the following is correct regarding the impact of flood in India over the years starting from 1970s?

Detailed Solution for SSC MTS Mock Test - 5 - Question 28

Refer to, “The long-term trends for flood impact in India have been one of declining loss of lives and cattle since the decadal high of 1971-80, but rising absolute economic losses, though not as a share of GDP. “

It is clear from the passage that the long term trends of impact of floods in India have been on the decline in terms of lives of people and cattle lost but on the other hand the economic losses have quantified multiple times during this particular time duration. Among the given options, we can choose Option A only since it gives us the correct information regarding the data on lives lost in floods since 1970s till date. Others can be eliminated since they do not follow from the passage.

This makes option A the correct choice among the given options.
