UPPSC Prelims (GS 2) Mock Test - 8 (CSAT) - UPPSC (UP) MCQ

The logic follows here:

Similarly,

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (4)"

Given:

Diptesh's rate = 1/9 work/day

Tushar's rate = 1/12 work/day

Formula:

Combined work in two days = Diptesh's 1 day work + Tushar's 1 day work

Calculation:

⇒ The combined work in two days: 1/9 + 1/12

⇒ LCM of 9 and 12 = 36

⇒ (4/36 + 3/36) = 7/36 work in 2 days

⇒ Full cycles to finish the work = Total work / Work done in two days = 1 / (7/36) = 36/7

⇒ Days taken for full cycles = floor(36/7) × 2 = 5 × 2 = 10 days

⇒ Remaining work after 5 cycles: 1 - (35/36) = 1/36

⇒ On the 11th day, Diptesh works, completing more than the remaining work as he can do 1/9 per day.

So, time taken by Diptesh to complete the remaining work = (1/36)/(1/9) = 1/4 days

Thus, total days required = 10 + 1/4 = 41/4 days

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.

Given:

LCM of two numbers x and y is 323 where x > y.

Concept used:

HCF: Product of the smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers.

LCM: Product of the greatest power of each prime factor, involved in the numbers.

Calculation:

The factors of 323 = (323 × 1) and (17 × 19)

According to question x>y then, 

(x,y) = (323,1) or (17,19)

Statement 1: y > 1

Hence, only possible value are x = 17 and y = 19

∴ we can easily find the value of 3x - 2y.

Statement 2: HCF of x and y is 1.

In both (323,1) or (17,19), HCF is 1.

Two different values of 3x -2y.

Hence, Statement 1 alone is sufficient to answer the question.

‘सत् + वाणी’ का सही संधि रूप है - सद्वाणी। अन्य सभी विकल्प असंगत है।

प्रमुख बिंदु

• सत् + वाणी = सद्वाणी
• 'सद्वाणी' शब्द में व्यंजन संधि है।
• अन्य सभी विकल्प में वर्तनी सम्बन्धित त्रुटि है।

महत्वपूर्ण बिंदु

नियम-

• जब त् का मिलन ग, घ, द, ध, ब, भ, य, र, व से या किसी स्वर से हो तो द् बन जाता है।

उदाहरण -

• जगत् + ईश = जगदीश
• भगवत् + भक्ति = भगवद्भक्ति
• तत् + रूप = तद्रूप
• सत् + भावना = सद्भावना

अतिरिक्त जानकारी

व्यंजन संधि:-

• जब संधि करते समय व्यंजन के साथ स्वर या कोई व्यंजन के मिलने से जो रूप में परिवर्तन होता है, उसे ही व्यंजन संधि कहते हैं।

उदाहरण -

• दिक् + गज = दिग्गज
• उत् + शिष्ट = उच्छिष्ट
• आ + छादन = आच्छादन
• तत् + लीन = तल्लीन

In the pair "Persuade : Discourage", the two words are antonyms - their meanings are opposite.

Taking that relationship into consideration,

The word pair that would follow "Profound" would be an antonym.

From the given options, the word that is antonymous to "Profound" is "Superficial".

"Profound" typically means very great or intense and often refers to something that is deeply insightful or meaningful. On the other hand, "Superficial" refers to something that is not thorough, deep, or complete, reflecting less thought, preparation, or introspection.

Hence, the correct answer is "Superficial".

Explanation:

With the given situation of 70% in selection test and 75% in B.tech, Vijay fulfills the first two conditions i.e. 

• Candidate must be a graduate with 60% marks and Vijay scored 75% --- Condition fulfilled.
• Candidate must secure minimum 70% marks in the selection test and Vijay secured 70% --- Condition fulfilled.
• Candidate should have a certificate in computer fundamentals but Vijay does not have any certificate which --- does not fulfill the conditions. 

​

Considering the Special Exemptions :

• In case the graduation is in B.Tech, the 3rd condition can be waived off, since Vijay is a B.tech graduate the 3^rd condition is waived off.

Hence, the correct answer is "He will be selected".

• जब एक से अधिक पद एक साथ जुड़कर विशेषण का कार्य करते हैं, अर्थात जहां शीर्ष पद विशेषण हो, तो उसे विशेषण पदबंध कहते हैं।
• जैसे - 
  • ​मुझे दो पिसी हुई लाल मिर्च चाहिए।

Given:

A and B can complete a work in 12 days and 20 days

Concept used:

Total work = LCM of the time taken by the workers

Calculation:

LCM of 12 and 20 is 60

So, efficiency of A = 60/12 = 5

and b = 60/20 = 3

Together = 60/8 = 15/2 or 7(1/2) days

The answer is 7(1/2) days.

दिए गए विकल्पों में से शोकाकुल सही वर्तनी वाला शब्द है, अर्थात इसका अर्थ ‘शोक से व्याकुल’ है। अन्य विकल्प असंगत है।

"Eat like a bird" is often used to describe someone who eats very little, as birds are known for their small appetites.

Given,

The product of two numbers = 3026

LCM = 89

As we know,

Product of LCM and HCF of two numbers = Product of two numbers

6 hours × 60 minutes/hour × 60 seconds/minute = 21,600 seconds

24 hours × 60 minutes/hour = 1,440 minutes/day

21,600 seconds ÷ 1,440 minutes/day = 15 days

'जिह्वा' शब्द की वर्तनी शुद्ध है।

'जिह्वा' का अर्थ ‘जीभ, ज़बान’ होता है।

‘श’ वर्ण का उच्चारण स्थान 'तालु' है। इसके आलावा तालु 'च, छ, ज, झ, ञ, य' का भी उच्चारण स्थान है। मूर्द्धा से 'ट, ठ, ड, ढ ण, ड़, एवं ढ़' का उच्चारण होता है। दंत से 'त, थ,द, ध, न,स' का उच्चारण होता है।
