APPSC (Arunachal Pradesh) Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test- 9 - Question 4

How many really suffer as a result of labour market problems? This is one of the most critical yet contentious social policy questions. In many ways, our social statistics exaggerate the degree of hardship. Unemployment does not have the same dire consequences today as it did in the 1930‘s when most of the unemployed were primary breadwinners, when income and earnings were usually much closer to the margin of subsistence, and when there were no countervailing social programs for those failing in the labour market. Increasing affluence, the rise of families with more than one wage earner, the growing predominance of secondary earners among the unemployed, and improved social welfare protection have unquestionably mitigated the consequences of joblessness. Earnings and income data also overstate the dimensions of hardship. Among the millions with hourly earnings at or below the minimum wage level, the overwhelming majority are from multiple- earner, relatively affluent families. Most of those counted by the poverty statistics are elderly or handicapped or have family responsibilities which keep them out of the labour force, so the poverty statistics are by no means an accurate indicator of labour market pathologies.

Which of the following is the principal topic of the passage?

APPSC (Arunachal Pradesh) Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test- 9 - Question 6

A shopkeeper marks up the price of his product by 20%. If he increases the discount from 5% to 10%, the profit would decrease by Rs 2

Detailed Solution for APPSC (Arunachal Pradesh) Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test- 9 - Question 6

Let CP be 100 then MP 120

5% discount =114.  

10% discount =108.

If we let CP as 100 we get difference of Rs 6 but the actual difference 21, which is 3.5 times of 6.

It implies the CP of product = 3.5 * 100= 350, Then MP=20% of 350=70 =350 + 70 = 420. 

Now 20% discount, 20% of 420 =336.  Loss =350-336=Rs14.

APPSC (Arunachal Pradesh) Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test- 9 - Question 7

The average age of a family of 6 members is 20 years. If the age of the youngest member be 5 years, the average age of the family at the birth of the youngest member was?

Detailed Solution for APPSC (Arunachal Pradesh) Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test- 9 - Question 7

Total present age of the family (6*20) = 120 yrs

Total age of the family 5 years ago = (120 – 6*5) = 90 years  

At that time, Total members in the family = 5

Therefore Average age at that time = 90/5 = 18 yrs..

APPSC (Arunachal Pradesh) Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test- 9 - Question 8

The number of students in 3 classes are in the ratio 4: 5: 6. If 15 students are increased in each class this ratio changes to 11:13:15. The total number of students in the three classes in the beginning was

Detailed Solution for APPSC (Arunachal Pradesh) Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test- 9 - Question 8

Let the number of students in the classes be 4x, 5x and 6x respectively;  

Total students = 4x + 5x + 6x = 15x.  

Given, (4x+15)/(5x+15) = 11/13

3x=30==>x=10.  

Then Total no of students is 15x=15*10=150.

APPSC (Arunachal Pradesh) Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test- 9 - Question 12

Consider the following and answer the question based on it.

  1. Aayush’s playing schedule consists of Cricket, Hockey, Soccer, Tennis, and Volleyball from Monday to Saturday; each game is on one day, one day being a rest day.

  2. Cricket is played neither on the first day nor on last day but is played earlier than Tennis.

  4. Hockey is played on the immediate previous day of the rest day.

    1. Volleyball and Soccer were played with a 2-day gap between them.

    2. Soccer is played on the day following the rest day.

Q. Which of the following is a correct statement?

Detailed Solution for APPSC (Arunachal Pradesh) Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test- 9 - Question 12
The starting figure we start with when we read the first statement is

Games are hockey, tennis, cricket, volleyball, and soccer.

From the second and third clues (cricket is played neither on the first day nor on the last day but was played earlier than tennis, and volleyball was played on the day immediately following the tennis day), we know that tennis and volleyball should be together and also that cricket has to be somewhere before this.

Visually this can be represented as:

C ⇒ TV

From the fourth and sixth clues we have:

H-REST DAY’S

Note: Putting it in a box signifies that there is no break between the items in the box.

Once we have these two visual representations we can go back to our original figure and think as follows:

Since cricket has to precede tennis and volleyball, and cricket is not on the first day we can have three possibilities of placing cricket viz., Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday

Possibility 1:

This case is rejected because once we place cricket we would need to place tennis and volleyball in either Wednesday-Thursday or Thursday-Friday or Friday-Saturday. In each case, we would also need to place a 3-day having Hockey-Rest Day-Soccer. It can be easily seen that in any of these three situations under possibility 1, we do not have a complete 3-day period anywhere in the week. Thus, we can reject possibility 1.

Possibility 2

Rejected on the same logic as possibility 1. There is no availability of a 3-day having Hockey-Rest Day-Soccer.

Possibility 3:

This is the only possibility that would work, as in this case, the respective game order

would be:

APPSC (Arunachal Pradesh) Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test- 9 - Question 13

The great Acharyas have said that having discovered a great goal, surrender yourself to that goal and act towards it drawing your inspiration from that goal whereby you will get a new column of energy. Do not allow this energy to the dissipated in the futile memories of past regrets or failures, nor in the excitement of the present. And thus, bring that entire energy focussed into activity. That is the highest creative action in the world outside. Thereby the individual who is still now considered most inefficient finds his way to the highest achievement and success. This is said very easily in a second. But in order to train our mind to this attitude, it needs considerable training because we have already trained the mind wrongly to such an extent that we have become perfect in imperfections. Not knowing the art of action, we have been master artists in doing the wrong thing. The totality of activity will bring the country to a wrong end indeed.

If each one is given a car to achieve an ideal socialistic pattern and nobody knows driving but everybody starts driving, what would be the condition on the road? Everybody has equal right on the public road. Then each car must necessarily dash against the other, and there is bound to be a jumble. This seems to be the very apt pattern of life that we are heading to. Every one of us is a vehicle. We know how to go forward. The point is, intellect is very powerful and everyone is driving but nobody seems to know how to control the mental energy and direct it properly or guide it to the proper destination.

APPSC (Arunachal Pradesh) Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test- 9 - Question 17

Despite the best efforts of those responsible for preventing fraud, one inevitable reality remains: “fraud happens.” Because fraud and misconduct can occur at various levels in any organization, it is essential that appropriate preventive and detective techniques are in place. Although fraud prevention and detection are related concepts, they are not the same. While prevention encompasses policies, procedures, training, and communication, detection involves activities and programs designed to identify fraud or misconduct that is occurring or has occurred. Although preventive measures cannot ensure that fraud will not be committed, they are the first line of defence in minimizing fraud risk. One key to prevention is making personnel throughout the organization aware of the fraud risk management program, including the types of fraud and misconduct that may occur. This awareness should enforce the notion that all of the techniques established in the program are real and will be enforced. The ongoing communication efforts could provide information on the potential disciplinary, criminal, and civil actions that the organization could take against the individual. With this in mind, prevention and deterrence are interrelated concepts. If effective preventive controls are in place, working, and well-known to potential fraud perpetrators, they serve as strong deterrents to those who might otherwise be tempted to commit fraud. Fear of getting caught is always a strong deterrent. Effective preventive controls are, therefore, strong deterrence controls.

According to the passage, what is the fundamental difference between fraud prevention and fraud detection?

Out of the four annual examinations, each with a total of 100 marks, a student secured average marks of 35%, 65% and 50% in the first, second and third annual examinations. To have an overall average of 60%, how many marks does the student need to secure in the fourth annual examination?

Detailed Solution for APPSC (Arunachal Pradesh) Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test- 9 - Question 20
Let the average marks in the third Annual examination be x.

Total marks = (Marks in first + second + third + fourth) Annual examination

So, the student must score 90% in the fourth annual examination to secure 60% overall average.

∴ Average marks in the third annual examination

In a college, 12% of total students are interested in chess. 3/4 of the total students are interested in hockey. 10 % of the remaining students are interested in singing and the remaining 117 are interested in dancing. How many students are there in college?

Detailed Solution for APPSC (Arunachal Pradesh) Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test- 9 - Question 21

Total percentage of students = 100%

Students interested in chess = 12%

Students interested in Hockey = 3/4 × 100 = 75%

Students interested in singing = 10% 13%

% of students interested in Dancing =[100 − (12 + 75 + 1.3)]% = 11.7%

So 11.7% = 117, then 100% =117/11.7 x 100 = 1,000

Directions for the following 9 (nine) items:

Read the following four passages and answer the items that follow each passage. Your answers to these items should be based on these passages only. 

Passage 1

The Slavic languages are a group of closely related languages that have speakers in most of Eastern Europe, the Balkans, in parts of Central Europe, and certain parts of Asia. The Slavic languages are broadly divided into three main branches, including East Slavic, West Slavic, and South Slavic, each of which is further divided into subgroups. The standard, or literary, components of each of the Slavic languages are distinct. However, the spoken dialects of each language are often closely related, and there exist what scholars call transitional dialects that bridge the gaps between the three Slavic languages. The common ancestor of the three Slavic languages is believed to be the Proto-Baltic-Slavic language, a dialect spoken approximately 3,000 B.C. in what today is Lithuania. The fact that the three branches of Slavic languages share approximately 280 words is usually given as proof for such a parent, ancestor language.

 

Q. What would be an appropriate title for this short passage?​

Detailed Solution for APPSC (Arunachal Pradesh) Prelims Paper 2 Mock Test- 9 - Question 25

Remember that a title should summarize the entire passage, and not just parts of it. The first and third choices are not appropriate titles because the passage is not about the rise and fall of the Slavic languages, and the literary history of the Slavic languages is not discussed anywhere in the passage.

The fourth choice is not the right answer because although Lithuania at 3,000 B.C. is discussed, there is no mention of geography in the passage. The second choice, therefore, is the best, and in fact the passage first describes, then discusses the origins of, and concludes with the similarities of the Slavic languages.
