MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 9 - Question 2

Directions: A sentence is given here with a blank and you need to fill the blank choosing the word/words given below. If all the words given can fill the blank appropriately, choose ‘All are correct’ as your answer.

The ship is uncrewed on this occasion, but if it completes the current flight without incident, astronauts will be on the next _______________ in two years' time.

I. Cruise

II. Expedition

III. Outing

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 9 - Question 2

Let us first learn the meanings of the given words:

Cruise (noun): a voyage on a ship or boat taken for pleasure or as a holiday and usually calling in at several places.

Expedition (noun): a journey undertaken by a group of people with a particular purpose, especially that of exploration, research, or war.

Outing (noun): a short journey made by a group of people, usually for pleasure or education.

The idea here is to express the next trip of the astronauts, as the context is about ‘astronauts’, thus ‘expedition’ is the correct answer while ‘cruise’ and ‘outing’ are contextually weak.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 9 - Question 4

Directions: Each of the following consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question.

Among six persons – Rishi, Sanjay, Komal, Usha, Vijay and Tarak, each of different heights. Who is the tallest?
Statement I:
Tarak is taller than only one person. Komal is taller than Rishi but shorter than Vijay.
Statement II: Rishi is taller than both Tarak and Sanjay. Vijay is not the tallest.

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 9 - Question 4

Checking Statement I:

Using the above references, we get the information:
 
_ > _ > _ > _ > Tarak > _

Vijay > Komal > Rishi

Here, we cannot merge the above inferences to form a single arrangement of the order of heights of these persons.

So, we cannot say who among these persons is the tallest.

Hence, data in statement I alone is not sufficient.

Checking Statement II:

Using the above references, we get the information:

Rishi > Tarak/Sanjay

So, we cannot say who among these persons is the tallest.

Hence, data in statement II alone is not sufficient.

Checking Statements I and II:

Using the above reference, we get the following arrangement:

Usha > Vijay > Komal > Rishi > Tarak > Sanjay

Clearly, both statements I and II together are sufficient to answer the question.

Hence, Option D is correct.

MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 9 - Question 5

In the following question, assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the conclusion among given conclusions is/are definitely true and then give your answer accordingly.

Statement: P < Q < R < S = T

Conclusion:

I. Q < T

II. P > S

III. R = T

Detailed Solution for MPPGCL JE Civil Mock Test - 9 - Question 5

Given Statement: P < Q < R < S = T

Conclusion:

I. Q < T → True (As, Q < R < S = T → Thus, it is clear that Q < T. So, the conclusion is true)

II. P > S → False (As, P < Q < R < S → Thus, it is clear that P < S. So, the conclusion is false)

III. R = T → False (As, R < S = T → Thus, it is clear that R < T. So, the conclusion is false)

Hence, the correct answer is "Only conclusion I follows".
