The rocket _____ the target and did not cause any casualty.         

Detailed Solution for Test: MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 3
  • The word "missed" means that the rocket did not hit the target.
  • Since the sentence states that the rocket did not cause any casualty, it implies that the rocket did not reach or hit the target.
  • The word "sensed" (option A) does not fit because it implies that the rocket detected something, which is not relevant to the sentence.
  • The word "reached" (option B) does not fit because it implies that the rocket successfully hit the target.
  • The word "exploded" (option D) does not fit because it implies that the rocket caused damage or destruction, which is contradictory to the sentence.
  • The word "aimed" (option E) does not fit because it describes the intention or direction of the rocket, but not the outcome.
  • Therefore, the correct answer is C: missed, as it accurately describes the rocket not hitting the target and causing no casualties.

In the following questions four alternatives are given for the idiom/phrase italicised and underlined in the sentence. Choose the alternative which best expresses the meaning of idiom/phrase. 

Q. The project did not appear to hold out bright prospects.  
Detailed Solution for Test: MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 5

hold out: resist or survive in difficult circumstances.

If you hold out for something, you refuse to accept something which you do not think is good enough or large enough, and you continue to demand more. I should have held out for a better deal.

Hence, the correct answer is option c i.e. offer.

Test: MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 6
Save

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. Good writers use more verbs.

B. However, it is hard to write without verbs.

C. The reason is that if unnecessary words are reduced, the verb-percentage goes up as a mathematical necessity.

D. So “use verbs” is not really good advice; writers have to use verbs, and trying to add extra ones would not turn out well.
Detailed Solution for Test: MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 6

Sentence C talks of how verb usage goes up when unnecessary words are reduced. This ties in with sentence A which talks of how good writers use more verbs. It is also clear C follows A.

Sentence B says it is hard to write without verbs. Sentence D adds to this saying that "use verbs" is hence not good advice. Therefore D follows B.

By looking at the sentences we see that sentence A makes a good start to the paragraph.

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

Hence, the answer is ACBD
Choice B is the correct answer.

Test: MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 7
Save

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. During the 24-hour darkness of the austral autumn and winter, the South Pole Telescope operates nonstop under impeccable conditions for astronomy.

B. The atmosphere is thin (the pole is more than 9,300 feet above sea level, 9,000 of which are ice), stable (due to the absence of the heating and cooling effects of a rising and setting Sun) and the pole has some of the calmest winds on Earth, blowing almost always from the same direction.

C. “The South Pole has the harshest environment on Earth, but also the most benign,” says William Holzapfel, a University of California at Berkeley astrophysicist, the on-site lead researcher at the South Pole Telescope.

D. From an astronomer’s perspective, not until the Sun goes down and stays down—March through September— does the South Pole get “benign.”
Detailed Solution for Test: MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 7

C talks of the South Pole being benign. D refers to the word benign in quotes. So, D should come after C, and quite possibly immediately after C.

The idea conveyed here is that the South Pole has the most benign weather and it is benign from March to September. So we can directly eliminate choice (d).

Sentence C makes a better choice for starting the paragraph than A.

Sentence A talks of impeccable conditions for astronomy and B explains what it is.

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

Hence, the answer is CDAB
Choice C is the correct answer.

Test: MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 8
Save

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. The Mandate of Heaven indicated divine approval of a king’s right to rule.

B. In other words, the Mandate of Heaven gave divine ruling authority to kings that lived a moral life, administered justice, and protected the welfare of his people.

C. Whereas Medieval Europeans legitimized their ruling authority by the divine right of kings, Confucian societies used a similar concept called the Mandate of Heaven.

D. However, it differed from the divine right of kings in that Heaven’s endorsement depends upon the virtuous conduct of the ruler.
Detailed Solution for Test: MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 8

We have two possible starting sentences for the paragraph- A and C.

However, we see that C introduces the phrase “Mandate of Heaven"?, whereas A tells us what it is about. So A follows C and possibly comes immediately after C.

Sentence B starts with “in other words"?. So which sentence is it paraphrasing? Not A, this sentence only declares that the Mandate of Heaven indicated divine approval of a king’s right to rule. Sentence B paraphrases sentence D, which talks of the right to rule depending on the virtuous conduct of the ruler. So B follows D.

The correct sentence order is hence CADB.

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

Hence, the answer is CADB
Choice D is the correct answer.

Five girls are sitting on a bench to be photographed. Seema is to the left of Rani and to the right of Bindu. Mary is to the right of Rani. Reeta is between Rani and Mary. 
Q. Who is sitting immediate right to Reeta?
Detailed Solution for Test: MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 12

According to the given information, Seema is to the left of Rani and to the right of Bindu. This means that the order from left to right is: Bindu, Seema, Rani.
Mary is to the right of Rani. Therefore, the order from left to right is now: Bindu, Seema, Rani, Mary.
Reeta is between Rani and Mary. This means that Reeta is sitting between Rani and Mary. Therefore, the order from left to right is: Bindu, Seema, Rani, Reeta, Mary.

Arun took a loan of Rs. 1400 with simple interest for as many years as the rate of interest. If he paid Rs.686 as interest at the end of the loan period, what was the rate of interest?
Detailed Solution for Test: MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 26

Simple Interest (SI) = P N R / 100

P is the Principal loan amount = Rs.1400

N is the number of years of deposit

R is the rate of interest

It is given that the loan period is as many years as the rate of interest.

So, N = R

Interest at the end of the loan period (SI ) = Rs.686

So,

686 = 1400 * R * R /100

R2 = 686*100 /1400

R2 = 49

R = 7%

If cos A + cos2 A = 1 and a sin12 A + b sin10 A + c sin8 A + d sin6 A - 1 = 0. Find the value of a+b / c+d
Detailed Solution for Test: MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 27

Cos A = 1 - Cos2A
⇒ Cos A = Sin2A
⇒ Cos2A = Sin4A
⇒ 1 – Sin2A = Sin4A
⇒ 1 = Sin4A + Sin2A
⇒ 13 = (Sin4A + Sin2A)3
⇒ 1 = Sin12A + Sin6A + 3 Sin8A + 3 Sin10A
⇒ Sin12A + Sin6A + 3 Sin8A + 3 Sin10A – 1 = 0

On comparing,
a = 1, b = 3 , c = 3 , d = 1
⇒ (a+b)/(c+d) = 1

A milk vendor has 2 cans of milk. The first contains 25% water and the rest milk. The second contains 50% water. How much milk should he mix from each of the containers so as to get 12 litres of milk such that the ratio of water to milk is 3 : 5?
Detailed Solution for Test: MAT Mock Test - 1 - Question 30

► Let x and (12-x) litres of milk be mixed from the first and second container respectively

► Amount of milk in x litres of the the first container = .75x

► Amount of water in x litres of the the first container = .25x

► Amount of milk in (12-x) litres of the the second container = .5(12-x)

► Amount of water in (12-x) litres of the the second container = .5(12-x)

► Ratio of water to milk = [.25x + .5(12-x)] : [.75x + .5(12-x)] = 3 : 5

⇒ (.25x+6-5x)/(.75x+6-.5x) =3/5

⇒(6−.25x)/(.25x+6) =3/5

⇒30−1.25x=.75x+18

⇒2x=12

⇒x=6

► Since x = 6, 12-x = 12-6 = 6

Hence 6 and 6 litres of milk should mixed from the first and second container respectively
