NVS Junior Secretariat Assistant Mock Test - 8 - NVS TGT/PGT MCQ

P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, and Z are sitting around a circle facing at the centre not necessarily in this same order.

i) T is second to the right of R who is third to the right of P.

Mistake Points

Who is used for the second person in a connecting statement.

For example: 

T is second to the right of R who is third to the right of P.

Here, who is used for R and not for T.

ii) S is second to the left of P and fourth to the right of Q.

iii) V who is not an immediate neighbour of P. (This means V cannot sit immediate left or right of P).

iv) Z is third to the right of V 

Thus we can see R is second to the right of W

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The total distance = 15 + 20 + 30 + 15 = 80m

Hence, the correct answer is 80m.

From the final arrangement, we get, R doesn’t belong to that group as except for R, all the others are facing outside.
Hence, Option D is correct.
References:
Q sits second to the right of P.
Inferences:
From the above reference, we get two different cases:
In case 1, P sits at the corner or in the middle of the side of the table.

References:
R is not an immediate neighbor of P.
R faces inside.
R sits third to the left of W.
Inferences:
From the above references, we get different cases for R, in case 1(a) in which R faces P and in case 1(b) R faces Q.

References:
T sits third to the left of U.
V sits second to the left of U.
Inferences:
So, from this case 1(b) and case 2 will be eliminated as there is no possible place for V in these cases after placing U and T. Hence, we get our final arrangement in which S sits on the immediate left of P and V sits on the immediate right of R.
Final arrangement:

As, (4)² + 3 = 19

Similarly, (7)² + 3 = 52

As given,
∠BOC = 110^o
And, we know incentre of a triangle is a point where angle bisector of triangles meet.
So, which means ∠OCB =∠OBC
∠BOC +∠OCB+∠OBC = 180^o
⇒∠OCB + ∠OBC = 180^o − 110^o
⇒∠OCB +∠OBC = 70^o

Since, ∠ABC = 2∠OBC
∠ACB = 2∠OCB
So, ∠ABC+∠ACB = 2 × 70^o
⇒∠ABC + ∠ACB = 140^o
Now, in triangle ABC.
∠ABC +∠BAC +∠ACB = 180^o
⇒∠BAC  +140o = 180^o
⇒∠BAC = 180o − 140^o
⇒∠BAC = 40^o
Hence, the correct answer is 40^o.

Weight of the car = (180 × 7 – 72 × 6) = 828 kg
Hence, Option B is correct.

By increasing his speed by 25%, he will reduce his time by 20%. (This corresponds to a 6 minute
drop in his time for travel—since he goes from being 10 minutes late to only 4 minutes late.)
Hence, his time originally must have been 30 minutes. Hence, the required distance is 20 kmph ×
0.5 hours = 10 km.

Pair of opposite angles are equal in a parallelogram. Rectangle and square are also parallelogram but they have 90° angle at each corner. 

Sundays → 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th (5 Sundays)

Hence, Option C is correct.

Real-time systems
Real-time systems are designed to respond to events and process data in a time-critical manner. They are used in various industries and applications where timely response and accuracy are crucial. Here are the details explaining the characteristics and uses of real-time systems:
1. Used for monitoring events as they occur:
Real-time systems are primarily used for monitoring and controlling events that happen in real-time. These systems continuously interact with the environment and respond to events as they occur without any significant delay.
2. Time-sensitive:
Real-time systems have strict deadlines and must complete tasks within specific time constraints. They are designed to handle time-critical operations and ensure timely responses to events.
3. Used in diverse applications:
Real-time systems find applications in various domains such as aerospace, defense, healthcare, transportation, industrial automation, and communication systems. They are used in scenarios where immediate actions are required based on real-time data.
4. Embedded systems:
Real-time systems are often embedded within other devices or systems, such as sensors, control systems, or hardware components. These embedded systems provide real-time capabilities to the overall system.
5. Concurrency and parallelism:
Real-time systems often involve concurrent and parallel processing to handle multiple tasks simultaneously. They utilize techniques like multitasking, multithreading, and multiprocessing to achieve efficient execution of tasks.
6. Deterministic behavior:
Real-time systems exhibit deterministic behavior, meaning that their response time and execution time are predictable and consistent. This predictability is crucial in time-critical applications.
7. Continuous monitoring and feedback:
Real-time systems continuously monitor the environment and provide feedback or take actions based on the data received. They constantly update their state and respond to changes promptly.
In conclusion, real-time systems are used for monitoring events as they occur, processing data in a time-critical manner, and ensuring timely responses. These systems find applications in various industries and rely on concurrency, determinism, and continuous monitoring to achieve their objectives.

The correct answer is MAN.

Key Points

• MAN network covers a larger space by connecting LANs to a bigger network of computers.
• In the Metropolitan space network, numerous native space networks are connected with one another through phone lines.
• The dimensions of the Metropolitan space network is larger than LANs and smaller than WANs (wide space networks), a MANs covers the larger space of a town or city.

Additional Information

• Mesh network (or simply mesh net) is a local topology during which the infrastructure nodes (i.e. bridges, switches, and other infrastructure devices) connect directly, dynamically, and non-hierarchically to as many other nodes as possible and cooperate with each other to efficiently route data from/to clients.
• Star network is a local area network (LAN) in which all nodes (workstations or other devices) are directly connected to a common central computer.
• Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial network technology that was originally designed for the automotive industry, especially for European cars, but has also become a well-liked bus in industrial automation also as other applications.

The Correct Answer is "Cache Memory".

Important Points

Cache Memory :

• Cache Memory is a special very high-speed memory.
• It is used to speed up and synchronizing with a high-speed CPU. Cache memory is costlier than main memory or disk memory but economical than CPU registers.
• Cache memory is an extremely fast memory type that acts as a buffer between RAM and the CPU.
• It holds frequently requested data and instructions so that they are immediately available to the CPU when needed.
• Cache memory is used to reduce the average time to access data from the Main memory.

Additional Information

Secondary Memory​ :

• It is non-volatile, i.e. it retains data when power is switched off.
• It is large capacities to the tune of terabytes.
• It is cheaper as compared to the primary memory.
• Depending on whether the Secondary memory device is part of the CPU or not, there are two types of secondary memory – fixed and removable.

Auxiliary Memory :

• Auxiliary memory is the non-volatile memory lowest-cost, highest-capacity, and slowest-access storage in a computer system.
• It is where programs and data kept for long-term storage or when not in immediate use.
• Such memories tend to occur in two types-sequential access (data must access in a linear sequence) and direct access (data may access in any sequence).
• The most common sequential storage device is the hard disk drives, whereas direct-access devices include rotating drums, disks, CD-ROMs, and DVD-ROMs.
• It used as permanent storage of data in mainframes and supercomputers.

Virtual Memo :

• A computer can address more memory than the amount physically installed on the system.
• This extra memory is actually called virtual memory and it is a section of a hard disk that's set up to emulate the computer's RAM.
• The main visible advantage of this scheme is that programs can be larger than physical memory.
• Virtual memory serves two purposes.
  • First, it allows us to extend the use of physical memory by using the disk.
  • Second, it allows us to have memory protection because each virtual address is translated to a physical address.
