A girl introduced a boy as the son of the daughter of the father of her maternal uncle. The boy is girl’s: 

Detailed Solution for SSC Selection Post Mock Test - 8 - Question 1

The girl’s maternal uncle and the boy’s mother are siblings because they have the same father.

Hence the boy is either the brother of the girl if the boy’s mother and the girl’s mother are the same, or the boy is the cousin of the girl if there is/are any more siblings of the boy’s mother other than the maternal uncle of the girl.

Thus, the relation between them cannot be determined.

The passage given below is followed by a set of questions. Choose the most appropriate answer to each question.

 

You are the newly appointed financial controller in LMB Ltd., a large private engineering company. This is your first appointment in industry having undertaken your training at a large accountancy firm where most of your experience was gained in the audit of large NSE 500 clients. LMB Ltd. makes components which are used in the manufacture of various household products and it has a wide customer base from large household names through to small local private businesses.

One of your first tasks is to undertake a view of aged debtors. Whilst undertaking your review you find that a small number of customers have credit balances on their sales ledger accounts. The amounts relate to invoices which are now over 9 months old and which appear to have been paid twice. You find this odd and decide to raise the issue with your boss, Dushyant, the Financial Director, at your next meeting.

The following morning, Dushyant calls you into his office and asks you how you are settling into your position. You respond that, although you are still finding your feet, you have been making a major effort to get up to speed with the company's business and systems and controls. Dushyant appreciates your enthusiasm and is pleased that he has managed to recruit someone so enthusiastic.

Dushyant then asks whether anything has come to your attention so far. You advise him of what you have found in relation to the customers who appear to have paid twice. Dushyant laughs and tells you that it balances out in the end.

Furthermore, he produces copies of letters from a file which are addressed to the Financial Directors at the respective customers informing them of their company's overpayment. You return to your desk - rather bewildered by his comments. Customers have overpaid and he knows this to be the case, yet he has no intention of returning their money unless prompted by the customer. 

You find it perplexing to think that the Financial Directors of the companies that have overpaid have not responded on being notified about the outstanding invoices.

 

 

Q. In the light of the given situation, which of the following is the most sound judgment?

Detailed Solution for SSC Selection Post Mock Test - 8 - Question 2

Solution: Negligence or lack of response cannot justify withholding a refund which the customer is entitled to. Therefore, options 1 and 2 can be eliminated.Option 4 is incorrect since it indicates a bias towards larger transactions. No matter how small the sum, LMB Ltd. must refund it.Option 3 alone holds as a sound judgment.Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Direction: In each question below is given a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.

Statements: In a recent survey report, it has been stated that those who undertake physical exercise for at least half an hour a day are less prone to have any heart ailments.

Conclusions:

  2. All people who do desk-bound jobs definitely suffer from heart ailments.
Detailed Solution for SSC Selection Post Mock Test - 8 - Question 8

The statement mentions that chances of heart ailments are greatly reduced by a regular half-hour exercise. So, I follows.

Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given beside:
Eight persons- A, B, C, D, P, Q, R and S are sitting in a row in which some of them are facing north while some of them are facing south. Only 3 persons sit to the left of R. 3 persons sit between R and Q. B is 2nd to the left of Q. More than 2 people’s sits between B and S, D is 2nd to the left of S. Neighbours of R are facing south. Neighbours of P face the same direction. C is 2nd to the right of A. A and P face opposite directions and similarly B and Q face opposite directions too.

Q. How many person(s) sits between D and A?
Detailed Solution for SSC Selection Post Mock Test - 8 - Question 10

Following the final solution we can say that 3 persons sits between D and A.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Common Explanation:
Reference:
Only 3 persons sit to the left of R.
3 persons sit between R and Q.
Inference:
As we don’t know that in which direction exactly R is facing. So, we can say that there possible scenarios in which we can use the above information correctly.
Case 1:
R faces north.

Case 2:
R faces south.

Reference:
B is 2nd to the left of Q.
Neighbours of R face the south.
B and Q face in opposite direction.
Inference:
We can use the above information in both of the cases accordingly as shown in the figures:

Reference:
More than 2 people’s sits between B and S.
D is 2nd to the left of S.
Inference:
After studying the first information we can say that either 3 or 4 persons are sitting between B and S. and with the second hint we can place D according to S in the row and we can say that there are exactly 4 persons are sitting between B and S.

Reference:
Neighbours of P face the same direction.
A and P faces in opposite direction.
C is 2nd to the right of A.
Inference:
With the first hint we can say that our case 2 is an invalid case as we cannot place P with both of its neighbour facing the same direction.
And after placing P in case 1 we can fix the position of A and C easily and can complete the puzzle.

The average mark of a class of n students is 64. When eight new students with an average mark of 73 join the class, the new average of the entire class is a whole number. Find the number of students now in the class, given that n lies between 25 and 60.
Detailed Solution for SSC Selection Post Mock Test - 8 - Question 11

Let ‘x’ be the increase in the average 

For ‘x’ to be a whole number 72 (= 9 × 8) should be divisible by (n + 8) 
From the choices it can be said that 36 and 72 are two such factors. But 72 does not lie within the range. 
∴ number of students in class are 36.

 Weights of two friends A and B are in the ratio of 1:2. A’s weight increases by 20% and the total weight of A and B together becomes 60 kg, with an increase of 30%. By what percent the weight of B increase?
Detailed Solution for SSC Selection Post Mock Test - 8 - Question 13

Answer – b) 35% Explanation : weight of A is x and weight of B is 2x given that 60 kg weight is the 30% percent increase of the original weight, so (130/100)*W = 60, W = 600/13 kg (W = original weight) X + 2x = 600/13, x = 200/13 So weight of A = 200/13 and of B = 400/13 (120/100)*(200/13) + [(100 + a)/100]*(400/13) = 60 Solve for a. We will get a = 35%

Direction: The sentences given in the question, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labeled with a letter. Choose the most logical order of sentences from the given choices to construct a coherent paragraph.

A. As people turned to farming, they began to live in fixed settlements, which became small towns.

B. Their labors bore fruit; surplus food freed some of the population from farming.

C. In about 5000 BC, farmers moved down into the fertile river valleys of Mesopotamia, and built dykes and ditches to irrigate the arid land.

D. The cultivation of plants, such as wheat and barley, and the domestication of animals, such as sheep, goats and cattle, began in the Near East in about 8500 BC.
Detailed Solution for SSC Selection Post Mock Test - 8 - Question 24

By timeline, 8500 BC was before 5000 BC. So sentence C is likely to feature after sentence D in the paragraph.

Sentence D talks of cultivation of plants and domestication of animals that began in the Near East around 8500 BC. Sentence A carries this idea forward, explaining how fixed settlements and small towns came into being after people turned to farming.

Sentence B starts off with “their labors"?. Who does “their"? refer to? Sentence C, which talks of farmers who moved down to the river valleys of Mesopotamia and their efforts to build dykes and ditches, has the answer. So B follows C.

DACB makes a cogent paragraph.

The question is " Arrange the sentences in the correct order "
The order is DACB

Hence, the answer is DACB
Choice A is the correct answer.

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

Remote sensing and GIS are promising tools for handling spatial and temporal data and help in integrating them for successful planning of natural resources. It is the science of measuring the earth using sensors mounted on high-flying aircrafts or satellites. These sensors collect data in the form of images and provide insights for manipulating, analysing and visualising those images. Since natural resources are not uniformly distributed and are spatially varied, it is challenging to capture the correct picture. Management of natural resources calls for scientific tools for timely and accurate dissemination of information. In natural resource management, remote sensing and GIS are mainly used in the mapping process. These techniques are useful in management of land, soil, coastal, watershed, urban and many more.

In India, the agriculture sector alone sustains the livelihood of around 50 percent of the population. Therefore, an increase in crop productivity has been a major concern. Since, the scope for increasing area under agriculture is limited, advanced crop production forecasting is required for better policymaking. Indian Space Research Agency (ISRO) and Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) successful experiment-Agricultural Resource Inventory and Survey Experiment (ARISE) used aerial colour photographs to estimate crop acreage in many states of India. Other Important uses of remote sensing include crop identification, stress detection, and crop yield modelling, drought monitoring, land degradation mapping and more. Urbanisation is important and inevitable for development, but its proper planning and management is crucial for sustenance. One of the important features of GIS is multilayered mapping. This kind of mapping helps municipal corporations, town planning boards to build cities that are better organised. The information systems with socio-economic data overlaid upon satellite data makes urban planning cost-effective and accurate. 

Coastal ecosystems have high ecological significance. GIS and remote sensing data are used to study coastal ecosystems and marine living resources which include habitats like mangroves, coral reefs and more. Apart from this, suspended shoreline dynamics can be studied and climatic changes leading to cyclones and sea level rise may be of special interest too. Geospatial data is effective in the analysis and determination of factors that affect the utilisation of these resources. The technologies provide a platform through which we can generate information that can be used to make sound decisions for sustainable development of the natural resources of India.

Q. What is the tone of the author?
Detailed Solution for SSC Selection Post Mock Test - 8 - Question 25

Option A is wrong as the author is not making a mockery of the successful work of GIS and remote sensing.

Option D is wrong as the author is optimistic about GIS and supports its usage.

Option B is also wrong as the author is nowhere seen criticizing GIS and remote sensing technique.

The author supplements the entire passage with various examples and successful works of ISRO and ICAR. Evidently, the tone of the passage is ‘informative’.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
