HP Police Constable Mock Test - 5 - HP Police Constable MCQ

Belle of the ball: the most beautiful woman in a gathering.
The usage of the idiom in statement I is absolutely correct.
Make a beeline: to go straight for something.
The usage of the idiom in statement II is absolutely correct.
Break one’s neck: get through the hardest part of something.
The idiom is incorrectly used in the sentence and the correct idiom will be ‘do not have a clue’.
Not have a clue: to not know something.
Hence, the correct answer is option C. 

The most suitable idiom/expression to replace the underlined part of the sentence is:

1. A thorn in my side

The revised sentence would be:

"This difference in perspectives is really starting to become a thorn in my side, since our children are at an age where everything we say counts."

The idiom, "Hear through the grapevine" which means to hear rumours or information indirectly accurately describes the situation.
Bite the bullet: to face a difficult situation bravely
Kick the bucket: to die
Jump the gun: to do something too soon, before it is appropriate or allowed
These idioms do not fit in the given context.
The correct answer is option D. 

The correct option is 'tremble' because tremble means to shiver and tremble means to move slightly and uncontrollably as a result of being cold

Influence is quite different from all other words.
Having wealth doesn't mean having prestige.
And quality can be good or bad.
So the exact meanings could be name, fame, reputation.

If we read the sentence, we can observe that the statement above says that India with a vast history, different people have different perspectives.
verdict- a decision on an issue of fact in a civil or criminal case or an inquest.
writer- a person who has written something or who writes in a particular way.
author- a writer of a book, article, or document.
narrative- a spoken or written account of connected events; a story.
Clearly, option D is the correct answer. 

Let us first learn the meanings of the given words:

Contest (verb): engage in dispute about.

Assuage (verb): make (an unpleasant feeling) less intense.

Lull (verb): calm or send to sleep, typically with soothing sounds or movements.

Mitigate (verb): make (something bad) less severe, serious, or painful.

Appease (verb): assuage or satisfy.

The sentence implies that research and resilience have now empowered us to fight against the spread of virus, thus ‘contest’ and ‘lull’ are contextually weak options. ‘Assuaging’ and 'appeasing' are grammatically inapt as we need a verb in its simple form after 'to'. Thus, only ‘mitigate’ fits here grammatically and contextually.

Hence, option D is correct.

Option A: 'Helped easily' is not contextually correct.
Option C: Neither of the words makes a meaningful sentence.
Option D: Both words are irrelevant as shifts cannot be 'used'.
The sentence talks about gender relationship which (we all know) has not been easy since long. Hence, we can safely assume the first blank has something to do with time. The second part of the sentence denotes difficulty; this means the rapid shifts cannot be ‘absorbed’ easily.

Hence, option B is correct.  

Let us first learn the meanings of the given words:
Viral (adjective): an image, video, piece of information, etc. that is circulated rapidly and widely on the internet.
Influencers (noun): a person or thing that influences another.
Widget (noun): an application, or a component of an interface, that enables a user to perform a function or access a service.
Trolls (noun): an annoying or offensive message on the internet, in order to upset someone or to get attention or cause trouble.
The sentence has a negative tone and the idea is to express the abusive messages on Twitter. The use of ‘widget’, ‘algorithm’ and ‘influencers’ is contextually incorrect as the tone is negative. The use of ‘viral’ makes no sense after ‘Twitter’. Only ‘trolls’ fits the context and is also appropriate in grammatical manner.
Hence, option D is correct. 

As we know that ,
Equivocal means doubtful or ambiguous, clear will be opposite to that, Quaint means strangely delightful.
Hence , Clear is antonym word of Equivocal . Option C is correct . 

Obdurate means obstinate or stubborn, hence compliant is the antonym.

As we can say that ,
Vengeful is full of vengeance, i.e., anger and revenge; forgiving will be opposite to taking revenge; Vindictive is to attack and Vicious is something evil.
Hence , forgiving is opposite word of Vengeful . 

(12)² - (8)² = 80

and (16)² - (7)² = 207

Therefore (25)² - (21)² = 184.

Total holidays are 6 and the number of days in January is 31. Number of working days = 31 - 6 = 25. Thus, this option is correct.

As Peacock is the national bird of India, similarly Bear is the national animal of Russia.

The given inequality is 5x– 3 < 7
=> 5x – 3 + 3 < 7 + 3                             [3 is added both sides]
=> 5x < 10
=> x < 10/5
=> x < 2
When x is a real number, the solutions of the given inequality are given by x < 2, i.e., all real numbers x which are less than 2.

Given: W > X, X > Y and Y > Z

On combining: W > X > Y > Z

I) X > Z → True

II) W > Z → True

III) Z > W → False (as W > Z)

IV) W > Y → True

Hence, Z > W is definitely wrong.

P K D E J H I

Vowels that are neither at the beginning nor at the end are codded as 6, i.e. E will be coded as 6.
Vowels that are either at the beginning or at the end are codded as 9, i.e. I will be coded as 9.
From the above table, the code for P is 7, K is 1, D is 2, J is 5, H is 3.
So, the code for PKDEJHI will be 7 1 2 6 5 3 9.

We can draw the above diagram based on the information given in the question.
If the gender of the person is known, it is denoted by the suffix m or f. If it is not known, then it is denoted by x or y. We know, for example, that G is of the same sex as C, so we can label both as x; B and therefore, F are of the opposite sex from C, so we can label both y, and so on.
Horizontal lines indicate marriage, vertical or diagonal lines indicate children.  
This question orients you, in case you made an unwarranted assumption about the sexes. Since we do not know B's sex for sure, we cannot determine F's as well; this rules out all the wrong choices - including E, since we know H's sex.
Being the child of D's sibling, B, F is D's niece or nephew. 
Therefore, option 2 is the correct answer.
