UPPSC Prelims (GS 2) Mock Test - 1 (CSAT) - UPPSC (UP) MCQ

The correct answer is "those".

Key Points 

• Demonstrative determiner: A demonstrative determiner can be said to be those words which demonstrate as well as introduce the noun in the sentence. Demonstrative determiners include determiners such as ‘this’, ‘that’, ‘these’ and ‘those’. They are seen to appear right before the noun it determines.
• Example:
  • I have heard this song before.
  • This place is way too beautiful than you had described.
• So, 'Those' is also a demonstrative determiner.

So, The correct answer is: "Those".

Calculation:

Let x be the first principle amount for period 3 years and 21000 - x be the second principle amount for period 4 years.

Let the rate of interest be R.

SI for 3 year period = x × R × 3

SI for 4 year period = (21000- x) × R × 4

ATQ: both SI's are the same

⇒ x × R × 3 = (21000- x) × R × 4

⇒ 3x = 84000 - 4x

⇒ 7x = 84000

⇒ x = 12000

⇒ Second principle amount is 21000 - 12000 = 9000

Hence, the principle is Rs. 12000 and Rs. 9000.

महत्वपूर्ण बिंदु

अतिरिक्त जानकारी

The correct answer is “Adverb”.

Key Points

• An Adverb modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb, often indicating manner, place, time, frequency, degree, level of certainty, etc. An example could be “quickly” in the sentence “He ran quickly.”
• In the given question, “softly” describes the manner in which she whispered, thereby modifying the verb “whispered.” This positions “softly” as an adverb because it tells us how the whispering was done.

Hence, the correct answer is ‘Option 1’.

Additional Information

• An Adjective describes or modifies a noun or pronoun, providing more detail. For instance, “beautiful” in “a beautiful picture.”
• A Noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea, such as “cat” or “freedom.”
• A Verb represents an action, occurrence, or state of being, like “run” or “is.”

Statements:

All goods are services.

Some services are applications.

All applications are forms.

The Venn diagram as per the given statements:

Conclusions:

I. All goods can never be applications. → Not follow (Because all goods are services and some services are applications, so all goods can be applications is a possibility)

II. At least some services are forms. → Follow (Because some services are applications and all applications are forms, so at least some services are forms is definitely true)

III. No good is a form. → Not follow (There is no direct relation between good and form so it can be possible but not definitely true)

Hence, the correct answer is "Only II follows".

The correct answer is i), ii), iii) and iv).

Key Points

• Interpersonal skills:
  • Interpersonal skills are the qualities and behaviours we exhibit while interacting with other people. They are considered to be one of the most sought-after soft skills.
  • Strong interpersonal skills are a key indicator of success in a working environment, as benefits include the ability to cooperate with teammates to solve difficult problems, as well as simply enhancing your popularity around the office.
  • On the other hand, lacking them might lead to conflicts with colleagues or management and cause others to see you as a hindrance to getting the job done.
• Factors influencing interpersonal skill:​
  • Cultural factors include language, belief systems, morality, perspective, and customs.​

  • It is no exaggeration to say that interpersonal skills are the foundation for success in life. People with strong interpersonal skills tend to be able to work well with other people, including in teams or groups, formally and informally. They communicate effectively with others, whether family, friends, colleagues, customers or clients. They also have better relationships at home and at work.

The given equation: 5 × 4 + 12 - 3 ÷ 6 = 18
On interchanging + and -, we get:
5 × 4 - 12 + 3 ÷ 6 = 18
⇒ 8 + 0.5 = 18 (false)
On interchanging ÷ and ×, we get:
5 ÷ 4 + 12 - 3 × 6 = 18
⇒ 1.25 - 6 = 18 (false)
On interchanging × and +, we get:
5 + 4 × 12 - 3 ÷ 6 = 18
⇒ 5 + 48 - 0.5 = 18 (false)
On interchanging ÷ and -, we get:
5 × 4 + 12 ÷ 3 - 6 = 18
⇒ 20 + 4 - 6 = 18
⇒ 18 = 18

Hence, we need to interchange ÷ and - to make the situation correct.

सही उत्तर है :- दो।

Key Points

कर्म के आधार पर क्रिया के दो भेद हैं -

• सकर्मक क्रिया:- जिस क्रिया का फल कर्म पर पड़ता है, उसे सकर्मक क्रिया कहते हैं।
  • जैसे- भावना कहानी पड़ती है। मोहन फुटबॉल खेलता है। ;क्रिया ;के साथ क्या, किसे, किसको शब्द लगाकर प्रश्न करने पर यदि उत्तर की प्राप्ति होती है तो उसे सकर्मक क्रिया कहते हैं। 
• अकर्मक क्रिया:- वहां पर होती है जहां कर्ता द्वारा किया गया कार्य किसी अन्य चीज को प्रभावित नहीं करता है।जब किसी वाक्य में कर्ता हो और क्रिया भी हो लेकिन कर्म ना हो तो वहां पर अकर्मक क्रिया होती है।
  • जैसे – उसैन बोल्ट दौड़ता है। इस वाक्य में उसैन बोल्ट कर्ता का काम कर रहा है और दौड़ना क्रिया है लेकिन इसका प्रभाव और किसी चीज पर नहीं पड़ रहा है इसलिए यहां पर अकर्मक क्रिया है।

• उदाहरण – सोना, जागना, चलना, खाना, पीना, उठना, धोना, खेलना, पढ़ना, लिखना, उड़ना, उड़ाना, जोतना आदि।

The correct answer is Option (4) i.e. "Doesn't she?"

Key Points

• Question tags are short questions added to the end of statements. They are used to confirm or check information.
• In question tag (positive sentence = negative question tag) and (negative sentence= positive question tag).
• In the question tag we use the shortened form of an auxiliary verb. When in the absence of an auxiliary verb we use a "do verb".
• Since the main verb in the sentence is "attends" (present simple).
• The auxiliary verb used in the tag must be "does," and since it's a negative tag matching a statement with a negative sense, it becomes "doesn't."

Therefore, the correct answer is- "Doesn't she?"

The logic follows here is :

The given figure has four symbols that are revolving 90° in their position and also rotating from one corner to other in anti clockwise direction in each successive figure.

Figure A to Figure B →

All symbols are revolving 90° in their position and also rotating from one corner to another in anti-clockwise direction.

And the next symbol after circle (in anti-clcokwise direction) is filled in Figure B.

Figure B to Figure C →

All symbols are revolving 90° in their position and also rotating from one corner to another in anti-clockwise direction.

And the next symbol after the rectangle (in anti-clcokwise direction) is filled in Figure C and now the circle is not filled.

Figure C to Figure D →

All symbols will revolve 90° in their position and also rotate from one corner to another in the anti-clockwise direction.

And the next symbol after the square (in anti-clcokwise direction) i.e. the triangle will be filled in Figure D and now the rectangle will not be filled.

So, the figure that will replace the question mark (?) in the following figure series is shown below:

Thus, the figure in option(3) will replace the question mark.

Hence, the correct answer is "option(3)".

The arrangement of all the given words in the order in which they appear in an English dictionary is as shown below:

The four letters S E and N are common in five words, so we will start arranging the word from the fourth letter as per alphabetical order.

4. sensible

2. sensitive

1. sentence

3. sentiment

5. sentirse

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

Statements:

F < I ≤ G = H < T > E ≥ R > S

Conclusion:

(i) E > S → Follow (Because in 'E ≥ R > S', so 'E > S' is true)

(ii) I < H → Not follow (Because in 'I ≤ G = H', so 'I < H' is false)

Here, Only conclusion (i) follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (1)".

'विधायक' में अयादि संधि है। जब संधि करते समय ए , ऐ , ओ , औ के साथ कोई अन्य स्वर हो तो (ए का अय), (ऐ का आय), (ओ का अव), (औ – आव) बन जाता है। यही अयादि संधि कहलाती है।

अयादि संधि के उदाहरण :

विधायक = विधै + अक

श्रवण = श्री + अन

पावक = पौ + अक

पावन = पौ + अन

Correct Answer: It is 10 O'clock by my watch.

The preposition "by" represents time, the measurement of time. The reason here is, “by” is used to indicate “close to”, “next to” or “beside”. So it becomes appropriate in the given sentence.

So, 685 is the next number in the series.

Negative criticism as an element of classroom communication will lead to demotivation. The negativity will definitely demotivate the student, making it defensive to ask questions in the class. So, Defensiveness is also the outcome of negative criticism in the classroom. The other factor that negative criticism leads to is justification.

This approach involves recognizing similarities between current and past problems and applying solutions that worked previously to the new situation.
