HTET: General Studies Test - 1 - Software Development MCQ

Given:

In the first case:

10 men can do a piece of work in 50 days,

In the second case:

x men are additionally added to do the task in 20 days.

Concept used:

M₁ × D₁ = M₂ × D₂

Where, 

M₁ and M₂ are the numbers of men in the first case and second case respectively.

D₁ and D₂ are the numbers of days required in the first case and second case respectively.

Calculation:

According to the question,

⇒ 10 × 50 = (10 + x) × 20

⇒ 500 = (10 + x) × 20

⇒ 50 = (10 + x) × 2

⇒ 10 + x = 25

⇒ x = 15

The additional number of persons added to complete the task in 20 days = 15

Therefore, '15' is the required answer.

Given:

The ratio of two numbers is 4 ∶ 5 and their LCM is 60

Calculation:

Let the number be 4x & 5x 

LCM = 60

⇒ 20x = 60

⇒ x = 3

∴ HCF is 3.

Concept used:

In the case of a regular polygon, the measure of each internal angle is the same.

Sum of all internal angles of a polygon having N number of sides

⇒ (N - 2) × 180°

Calculation:

In the case of a regular octagon, N = 8.

Sum of all internal angles of a regular octagon

⇒ (8 - 2) × 180°

⇒ 1080°

Now, the measure of each angle of a regular octagon

⇒ 1080/8

⇒ 135°

∴ 135° is the measure of each interior angle of a regular octagon.

Concept:

Laws of Indices:

Calculation:

3(x + 8) = 27(2x + 1)

⇒ 3(x + 8) = (3³)(2x + 1)

Bases are same then powers will be equal.

⇒ (x + 8) = 3(2x + 1)

⇒ x + 8 = 6x + 3

⇒ 5x = 5

⇒ x = 1

Formula:

A = s², where 

A = Area of the square

s = Side of the square

Calculation:

Let the side of the square be 10 units.

Area = 10 × 10 = 100 sq. unit

According to the question-

New side = 10 + 2 = 12 units

New area = 12 × 12 = 144 sq. units

Increase in area = 144 - 100 = 44 sq. units

Increase in area % =  × 100 = 44%

∴ The net increase in the area is 44%. 

Calculation:

The product of 0.013 and 0.07 = 0.013 × 0.07

⇒ 13/1000 × 7/100

⇒ 91/100000

⇒ 0.00091

Given:

Principal = ₹3,000

Time = 2 years

Rate = 11%

Formula used:

S.I = P × R × T/100

Amount = P + S.I

Where, 

P = principal

T = time 

R = rate 

Calculation:

Principal = ₹3,000

Time = 2 years

Rate = 11%

S.I = 3000 × 11 × 2/100 = ₹660

∴ Amount = 3000 + 660 = ₹3660

∴ Amount received is ₹3660.

Given:

A cuboid of dimensions 24 cm × 9 cm × 8 cm

The side of the cube is 3 cm 

Concept :

The volume of the cuboid = L × B × H where L, B, and H are the length, breadth, and height of the cuboid

Volume of cube = a3, where a is side of cube 

Calculation:

The volume of the cuboid = n × volume of the cube  Where n is the number  of cubes 

⇒ L × B × H = n × a3

⇒ 24 cm × 9 cm × 8 cm = n × 33

⇒ (24 × 9 × 8)/ 27  = n

⇒ n = 64

∴ number of cubes = 64

Given:

The angle = 70° 

Concept:

The sum of the supplement angles is 180° 

Calculation:

Let us assume the supplement angle of the 70° be X

⇒ X = 180° - 70° = 110° 

∴ The required result will be 110°.

The pattern followed here is :

The process of virus infected to a person and finally getting recovery is as shown.

3. Virus

5. Infection

4. Symptoms

1. Treatment

2. Recovery

Hence, the correct answer is "3, 5, 4, 1, 2".

The logic followed here is:

If with the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th and 10th letters of the word 'PERSONALITY' are R, S, O, A, T.

The meaning full word is ROAST.

First letter of the word is R.

Hence, "option 1" is the correct answer.

Important Points

• To cook or be cooked in an oven or over a fire.
• To roast can mean to cook, or to poke fun of someone as a way of honoring them. In cooking, slow, dry heat is used to roast things. When a cook roasts a piece of meat, you can call the meat itself a roast too. Another way to use this word is to mean “to make fun of someone,” like a toast but meaner and funnier.

The logic follows here is :-

Given sequence is :

1 3 6 9 4 3 4 7 3 8 7 9 7 9 7 9 5 6 2 2 4 8 5 9 5 5 1 7 16 21 11 3 2 2 7 

The number pair are = 347, 387, 797, 795, 562, 595, 517, 322, 227

Hence, there are 9 numbers in given series which are both followed and preceded by prime number.

Thus, the correct answer is "9".

  Preparing the family tree using the following symbol:

Family Tree :-

∴ Here, Nikhil is uncle of Nihal or Nikhil is Nihal's mother's brother.

Hence, the correct answer is "mother's brother".

Here the logic is 

Hence the correct answer is "Owl"

The logic followed here is:

According to the alphabetical positions of the letters,

Similarly,

Hence, ‘RJJWZY’ is the correct answer.

The logic followed here is:

Logic: Square of the number of letter present in the word.

'ROCKET' (6 alphabet are present in the word ROCKET)

→ (6)² → 36

And,

'MASON' (5 alphabet are present in the word MASON)

→ (5)2 → 25

Similarly,

'SERVITUDE' (9 alphabet are present in the word SERVITUDE)

→ (9)2 → 81

Hence, the correct answer is "81".

The pattern followed here is:

Hence, ‘QWMN’ is the correct answer.

The pattern followed is:

The number in each term corresponds to the square of the number of the alphabet in the alphabetical series +1.

In each step, the alphabet is incremented by 3.

The correct term is M 170.

Hence, the wrong term is ‘L 152’.

The correct answer is Hissar.
