APSC CCE Prelims (Paper 2) Mock Test - 3 - Question 3

Each question given below is followed by two statements I and II Mark your answer as:
(a) If the question can be answered by using one of the statements alone, but cannot be answered by using the statement alone.
(b) if the question can be answered by using either of the statements alone.
(c) if the question can be answered by using both the statements together, but cannot be answered by using either of the statements alone.
(d) If the question cannot be answered even by using both the statements together.

Q. If ‘X’ is an integer such that 10 < X < 100, what is the value of ‘X’?
I. One of the digits of ‘X’ is 4 more than the other, and the sum of its digits is 10.
II. X > 60.

Detailed Solution for APSC CCE Prelims (Paper 2) Mock Test - 3 - Question 3

Let X = pq = 10p + q.
Using statement І:
Case 1:
p + q = 10 and p = q + 4,
Solving, we get, q = 3 and p = 7, i.e. X = 73.
Case 2:
p + q = 10 and q = p + 4,
Solving, we get, p = 3 and q = 7, i.e. X = 37.
So, ‘X’ is either 73 or 37.
Using statement ІІ:
X > 60. We can see that obviously statement II alone is not sufficient.
Combining the information given in both the statements together, we get a unique value of ‘X’, i.e. X = 73.
Hence, by combining both statement І and statement ІІ together, we can answer the question.

APSC CCE Prelims (Paper 2) Mock Test - 3 - Question 7

Read the information given below carefully and answer the following question.

Diversity may have traditionally given rise to a number of cuisines distinct to regions, but changing food habits and extensive migration of workers are spreading local tastes across the country. For instance, a sweet variant of the Gujarati Gorkeri pickle from a leading national player gets its highest sales from West Bengal. Similarly, a Rajasthani sweet lime pickle from the same brand gets its highest sales from Delhi, followed by Karnataka and Maharashtra. Packaged foods major ITC noticed that its branded wheat atta is growing faster in the south as compared to other geographies. Given the growing cosmopolitan consumer behaviors, brands are framing strategies in line with the emergence of fresh consumer demand across regions.

Q. Which among the following is the most logical and essential message conveyed by the above passage?

Detailed Solution for APSC CCE Prelims (Paper 2) Mock Test - 3 - Question 7

Option (a) is correct because package food brands like ITC adopt their strategies with growing cosmopolitan consumer behaviours and consumer demand across regions.
Option (b) is incorrect since passage does not talk about general north Indian food items, it only mentions branded wheat atta.
Option (c) is incorrect because passages does not discuss destruction of local cuisines.
Option (d) is incorrect because passage only mentions that Gujarati pickle has registered highest sale in West Bengal but doesn’t claim its reason to be the following- “Gujaratis do not like Gujarati pickle”.
Hence option (a) is correct.

APSC CCE Prelims (Paper 2) Mock Test - 3 - Question 9

Read the information given below carefully and answer the following question.

In many parts of the world, poor air quality has shaped up as a major health hazard. While air quality is traditionally seen as the source of respiratory ailments, there is mounting evidence that low air quality has far reaching impacts upon human health. As an example, it exacerbates the deteriorative illnesses of old age. Ordinarily, we see clean air as a pure public good. There is little that one person can do about it. However, there is much value for an individual in having a right-now-right-here measure of air quality. Q.

Q. Which of the following is the most rational inference from the above passage?

Detailed Solution for APSC CCE Prelims (Paper 2) Mock Test - 3 - Question 9

Option (a) is correct since the passage warns of the far reaching impacts upon human health that is caused by poor air quality. Since clean is a public good, individuals cannot affect it, however, knowledge about its status holds much value.
Option (b) is incorrect since the passage makes the point that poor air quality has far reaching impact on human health. Moreover, air being a public good increases the value of having a right-now-right-here measure of air quality.
Option (c) is incorrect since the passage warns of the far reaching impacts upon human health that is caused by poor air quality.
Option (d) is incorrect since the passage warns of the far reaching impacts upon human health that is caused by poor air quality and the value derived from a right-now-right-here measure of air quality.
Hence option (a) is correct.

APSC CCE Prelims (Paper 2) Mock Test - 3 - Question 10

Find the lowest 4-digit number which when divided by 3, 4 or 5 leaves a remainder of 2 in each case?

Detailed Solution for APSC CCE Prelims (Paper 2) Mock Test - 3 - Question 10

Lowest 4-digit number is 1000.
LCM of 3, 4 and 5 = |3, 4, 5 
As we saw above no two numbers are divisible by common factor so their LCM is their 
product.
LCM of 3, 4 and 5 = 3 x 4 x 5 = 60.
Dividing 1000 by 60, we get the remainder 40.
Thus, the lowest 4-digit number that exactly divisible by 3, 4 and 5 is 1000 + (60 - 40) = 1020.
Now, add the remainder 2 that's required. Thus, the answer is (1020 + 2 = 1022). 

APSC CCE Prelims (Paper 2) Mock Test - 3 - Question 11

Read the information given below carefully and answer the following question.

Despite the global slowdown, the online shopping in India has increased. The growing pace of online buying is because of the attractive discounted prices offered and the ability of the customers to research and compare the prices across several outlets. The average frequency of online purchases in India grew up to 2.9 in the fourth quarter of 2008 from 2.6 during the same quarter in 2007, as reported by the survey of Master Card Worldwide. “The economic meltdown has not affected our business”, said the CEO of an e-commerce portal which specializes in personalized gifting and merchandise space in India. He said, “Our business has increased up to five times this year despite the economic recession”. Currently, we possess a database of 25,000 designs posted by a thousand designers so that the users can create their own merchandise by selecting the designs sitting at home. The CEO also said that with the rise in bandwidth penetration in India and the increasing awareness of internet among people, the online shoppers sense the convenience to click on the products they want to purchase. Holding onto a similar conviction, the CEO of another company said, “With the convenience of online buying, customers can save their time and money to move across multiple outlets for a product. The online shoppers also plan their shopping in advance and conduct research on their planned purchases. It becomes easier for the customers to decide the price at which they want the products”. Sharing views on this point, the manager of the ecommerce portal says, “Through online shopping, customers can attain the objective of value for money during these tough times”.
Today, India is the only country where the 18 to 29 years age group has the highest average spend on online shopping. In India, the popular online purchases include the home appliances and the electronic gadgets like cell phones, camera, laptops and so on. According to the survey, the repurchasing of electronic products has gone up by 51 percent. So to drive these online shoppers, e-commerce portals are adopting a networking culture by incorporating social networking feature in their websites, so that people can discuss with their friends and relatives before buying the particular product. There are more start-ups, who are innovating their products to combat slowdown.

Q. What does the phrase “value for money” as used in the passage mean?

APSC CCE Prelims (Paper 2) Mock Test - 3 - Question 14

Read the information given below carefully and answer.

Culture was not incorporated the Millennium Development Goals or their indicators, alleging numerous difficulties to measure its impact on development. However, one of the reasons why the goals set in the year 2000 were not met is probably the failure to explicitly recognize the role of culture in economic growth, resource management, conflict resolution, the approach to social inequities, or the reaffirmation of identities. Nor was it understood at the time that culture is an extremely effective vector for the transmission of knowledge and the basis for innovation and creation, including scientific breakthroughs. It was ignored, perhaps, that there is no one single development recipe, as cultures need to determine their development models, and not the other way around.

Q. Which of the following is the most rational inference from the above passage?

Detailed Solution for APSC CCE Prelims (Paper 2) Mock Test - 3 - Question 14

(a) is incorrect as the passage explicitly mentions culture as an extremely effective vector in knowledge transmission etc but does not say anything about it being the most important tool for development.
(b) is incorrect as the passage highlights how culture was not effectively used while formulating the MDGs but does not highlight the need of alternative development recipes in the present scenario.
(c) is incorrect as the passage mentions non usage of culture as one of the reasons MDG goals not being met and not the only reason why.
(d) is correct as the passage explicitly states how the failure to recognize the role of culture was one of the most important reasons of failure to achieve MDGs which were set in the year 2000.

APSC CCE Prelims (Paper 2) Mock Test - 3 - Question 15

In aid of charity, every soldier in a battalion contributes as many rupees as the number of soldiers in that battalion. With the additional contribution of Rs. 50 by one soldier only, the total collection is Rs. 251051. Then how many soldiers are there in the battalion?

Detailed Solution for APSC CCE Prelims (Paper 2) Mock Test - 3 - Question 15

Let the number of Soldiers in Battalion be N
Earlier, each Soldier will give Rs. N
Earlier total collection was
(Number of Soldiers) x (each's contribution) (N) x (N) = N²
Now, one Soldier's contribution is increased by 50,  So, total collection now = N x N + 50= 251051 N² + 50= 251051 
N² = 251051 – 50 
N² = 251001 

So, N2 = 501², N = 501 or -501 But number of Soldiers can’t be negative, so N = 501 Therefore, number of Soldiers = 501

Many websites allow anybody with a web browser anywhere in the world to see every single transaction as it happens. Banks can use the same technology to allow the whole world to see every large financing or guarantee transaction.

Q. Which of the following is the most rational inference from the above passage?

Detailed Solution for APSC CCE Prelims (Paper 2) Mock Test - 3 - Question 21

APSC CCE Prelims (Paper 2) Mock Test - 3 - Question 25

One Amoeba splits into ten Amoeba to form the next generation, but due to the prevailing ecological conditions, only 50% survive. If the number of surviving amoebas in the 6th generation is 3125, what must have been their number in the first generation?

Detailed Solution for APSC CCE Prelims (Paper 2) Mock Test - 3 - Question 25

Let there be ‘x’ Amoeba in the first generation, i.e. n1 = x.
So, n2 = 10x, but only 50% survive,
So, n2, survived = 10x/2 = 5x.
n3 = 10(5x), but only 50% survive,
So, n3, survived = 10(5x)/2 = 25x = 52x.
Similarly, n6, survived = 56-1 x = 55x
Now, it’s given that: 55x = 3125
⇒ 3125x = 3125
∴ x = 1.

APSC CCE Prelims (Paper 2) Mock Test - 3 - Question 27

Read the information given below carefully and answer the following question.

Preclinical testing in animals can offer information about a drug’s safety and effectiveness before human testing begins, but those tests may not reveal potential side effects. Furthermore, drugs that work in animals often fail in human trials. It has become increasingly difficult to perform animal experiments, because of issues related to the procurement of animals, and strict regulations and ethical issues related to their use. As a result, it is felt that the teaching of pharmacology should be more clinically oriented and that unnecessary animal experimentation should be avoided. Although a number of computer simulation models (CSMs) are available, they are not being widely used.

Q. Which among the following is the most logical corollary to the above passage?

Detailed Solution for APSC CCE Prelims (Paper 2) Mock Test - 3 - Question 27

The passage does not discuss the measure of banning preclinical animal trials. Therefore, option (a) is incorrect.
Option (b) is correct since the passage is focused on mitigating preclinical animal trials and promoting alternative methods such as CSMs.
The passage does not take an extreme position of preclinical animal trials as inconsequential. Therefore, option (c) is incorrect.
Investment on computer simulation models is not discussed in the passage. Hence, option (d) is also incorrect.

APSC CCE Prelims (Paper 2) Mock Test - 3 - Question 28

  • “P % Q” means P is son of Q

Q. Which of the following express P is maternal Grandfather of T?

Detailed Solution for APSC CCE Prelims (Paper 2) Mock Test - 3 - Question 28

Maternal grandfather implies father of mother. So, using hit and trial method firstly we check option “a”
Now, according to option “a”
P is father of Q, who is mother of R, and R is brother of S, who is sister of T. So, R, S and T are sibling and their mother is Q. P is Q’s father so, he is maternal grandfather of R, S and T.
So, P is maternal grandfather of T. So, option “a” must be correct.
