DRDO STA Computer Science Tier 1 Mock Test - 3 - Question 1

The cost of an article was Rs.75. The cost was first increased by 20% and later on it was reduced by 20%. The present cost of the article is:

Detailed Solution: Question 1

Effective decrease

= [20 – 20 – 20×(20/100)] % = -4%

∴ Present cost of the article = 96% of Rs.75

= (75×96)/100 = Rs.72

DRDO STA Computer Science Tier 1 Mock Test - 3 - Question 2

Three pipes A, B, and C can fill a cistern in 10 hrs. After working together for 4 hours, C is closed, and A and B fill the cistern in 9 hrs. Then find the time in which the cistern can be filled by pipe C?

Detailed Solution: Question 2

A, B, and C can fill in 1 hour = 1/10 of the cistern

A, B, and C can fill in 4 hour= 4/10 =2/5 of the cistern

Remaining part = 1 - 2/5 =3/5 of cistern

3/5 of the cistern is filled by A+B in 9 hours

Therefore, A and B can fill the cistern in 9*5/3 = 15 hrs.

Hence in one hour C filled the cistern = 1/10 - 1/15 = 1/30 of the cistern

Hence C can fill the cistern in 30 hrs.

DRDO STA Computer Science Tier 1 Mock Test - 3 - Question 3

The average age of a man and his son is 54 years. The ratio of their ages is 23:13. What will be the ratio of their ages after 6 years?

Detailed Solution: Question 3

Let their ages be 23x and 13x respectively.

The average age is 54 years which means the sum of their ages = 108 years.

i.e. 36x = 108

or x = 3

Hence their ages are 69 and 39 years, respectively.

After 6 years, their ages would be 75 and 45 years

So the required ratio = 75:45 = 5:3

DRDO STA Computer Science Tier 1 Mock Test - 3 - Question 4

Diameter of the cylindrical vessel is 14 cm. having some water. When a sphere of iron is totally submerged in this water level of water increased by cm. What is the radii of the sphere?

Detailed Solution: Question 4

d = 14 then r= 7

let the radius of sphere = R

∴ the volume of sphere = volume of cylinder

∴ volume of sphere = volue of cylinder

R3 = 343

R = 7 cm.

DRDO STA Computer Science Tier 1 Mock Test - 3 - Question 5

A shopkeeper makes a profit of 20% by selling a T.V. What would be the new profit percent if the shopkeeper paid 15% less for the T.V and the customer paid 10% more for the T.V?

Detailed Solution: Question 5

Let the price at which T.V was purchased by shopkeeper = Rs 100a

Hence the price at which T.V was sold by shopkeeper = Rs 120a

If shopkeeper paid 15% less than the previous amount hence new cost price of the T.V = Rs (100a X 0.85) = Rs 85a

New selling price of the T.V = Rs (120a X 1.1) = Rs 132a

Profit % = (132a-85a)/85a X 100 = 55.3%

DRDO STA Computer Science Tier 1 Mock Test - 3 - Question 6

The value of tan 40. tan 430 .tan 470 .tan 860 is-

Detailed Solution: Question 6

tan4°. tan43°. tan47°. Tan86°

=> tan4°.tan43°. cot4°. cot43° =1

(tan(90° — 9) = cotθ)

DRDO STA Computer Science Tier 1 Mock Test - 3 - Question 7

What is the unit digit of (254+145)42?

Detailed Solution: Question 7

The concept of cyclicity is used to identify the last digit of the number.

Cyclicity chart:

(Note: when remainder is 0, power = cyclicity)

= (254+145)42

= 39942

Unit digit of 399 is 9.

From the cyclicity chart, the cyclicity of 9 is 2.

So, we have to divide the power of 399 i.e.42, by 2.

After dividing 42 by 2, remainder = 0. So, power = cyclicity = 2

Unit digit of 92=1

Hence, the unit of (254+145)42 is 1.

DRDO STA Computer Science Tier 1 Mock Test - 3 - Question 15

In a certain code language, ‘nick muk pic’ means ‘brave and concern’, ‘ill dic so’ means ‘every body else’ and ‘tur muk so’ means ‘body and soul’. Which of the following may mean ‘and every soul’?

Detailed Solution: Question 15

From (1) & (3)

muk = and

From (2) & (3)

so = body

From (3)

soul = tur

From (2)

every / else = ill/dic

From (1)

concern/brave = nick / pic

So, ‘and every soul’ may be ‘muk tur dic’,.

When a bottle of perfume is opened in one corner of a room the smell spreads throughout the room. This is an example of _______.

Detailed Solution: Question 23

Diffusion-Diffusion refers to the process by which molecules intermingle as a result of their kinetic energy of random motion. When a bottle of perfume is opened in one corner of the room, the molecules of the perfume are in constant motion and similarly the molecules of the air in the room are in random motion. The molecules of the perfume and air intermingle due to their kinetic energies and in time a uniform mixture of molecules of perfume and air molecules will be produced in the entire room.

DRDO STA Computer Science Tier 1 Mock Test - 3 - Question 27

In the following sentence, a part of the sentence is underlined. Below are given alternatives to the underlined part, which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, choose the option ‘No improvement’.

Q. Due the advantages inherent in using sales taxes, it is not surprising that some believe that the economy should base the entire tax system on sales taxes rather than income taxes.

Detailed Solution: Question 27

The sentence uses the form Due the advantages inherent, which is incorrect and needs improvement.
The phrase 'due the advantages' makes no sense.

In order to make the sentence meaningful, there should be a preposition like 'to' after 'due'.

The only alternative that improves the sentence is 'Due to the advantages inherent'.

None of the other alternatives can make the sentence meaningful.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.

DRDO STA Computer Science Tier 1 Mock Test - 3 - Question 28

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. Your answer to these questions should be based on passage only.
Mandela recollects that it was almost impossible for a black man in south Africa to fulfill his obligation to his family and society because of the system of apartheid practiced by the white rulers. He began to hanker after freedom when he realized that his freedom had been taken away from him when he reached manhood. He yearned for the basic and honorable freedoms of achieving his potential, of marrying, having a family-the freedom not to be obstructed in a lawful life. When Mandela realized that not only his freedom was curtailed, but the freedom of everyone who looked like him was also curtailed. That's when he joined the African national Congress and that is when the hunger for his own freedom became the greater hunger for the freedom of his people.

Q. Whose concern does this passage voice?

Detailed Solution: Question 28

In this passage, we find that the black people were not able to enjoy their freedom. Their freedom had been curtailed. Options like (a), (c) and (d) are partially suitable but not fully.

DRDO STA Computer Science Tier 1 Mock Test - 3 - Question 29

In the following question, the sentence with blank is to be filled with appropriate word. Select the correct alternative out of the four and indicate it by selecting the appropriate option.

Q. Previously, she was one of the three Deputy Director-Generals supporting the Director-General in ________ all programmes.

Detailed Solution: Question 29

Option 3 is the correct answer because, 'overseeing' means 'supervising (a person or their work), especially in an official capacity'. The verb 'supporting' suggests that the next verb must also be in progressive form to form the parallelism.

Let us take an example to understand it better:

  • My mother is helping my brother in completing his homework.

Option 1 is wrong because, first form of verb is given which doesn't form a balance with the verb 'supporting'.

Option 2 is wrong because, participle form is given.

Option 4 is wrong because, second form of verb is given.

DRDO STA Computer Science Tier 1 Mock Test - 3 - Question 30

In the following question, some part of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If a sentence is free from error, select 'No Error'. 

Q. I am disappointed to (1)/ see that neither of the (2)/ websites have any offers. (3)/ No error (4)

Detailed Solution: Question 30

Neither and either are singular and require singular verbs even though they seem to be referring, in a sense, to two things. Thus the plural verb 'have' is incorrect and must be replaced with the singular verb 'has. The error lies in part 3 of the sentence.
