APSC JE CE Paper 1 Mock Test - 2 - Civil Engineering (CE) MCQ

Given:

Mohit got 30% marks and failed by 25 marks

Another student scored 38% and

He got 15 more marks than passing marks

Calculation:

According to the question

⇒ 30% + 25 = 38% – 15

⇒ (38% – 30%) = (15 + 25)

⇒ 8% = 40

⇒ 1% = 5 marks

Now,

5% = 25 marks 

Then,

The necessary pass percentage required = (30% + 5%)

⇒ 35%

∴ Required pass percentage is 35%

Hence, "Printer" is the correct answer.

Output Device: A piece of equipment/hardware that gives out the result of the entered input, once it is processed (i.e. converts data from machine language to a human-understandable language), is called an output device. For example printers, monitors, etc. 

Printer:

• A device that makes a copy of the pictorial or textual content, usually over a paper is called a printer

Given:

Efficiency of Amit = 2 × Efficiency of Ramit

Concept used:

Total work = Efficiency × Time period

Calculation:

The efficiency of Amit = 2

Efficiency of Ramit = 1

Total work = (2 + 1) × 28 = 3 × 28 = 84

Number of days Ramit takes to complete the whole work = 84/1 = 84

∴ The number of days in Ramit will complete the work is 84 days.

Given:

Five years ago, father's age was 5 times that of his son

After 3 years father will be 3 times as old as his son

Calculation:

Let the present age of son be x years 

Present age of father be y years 

According to the question,

Five years ago, father's age was 5 times that of his son

(y - 5) = 5 (x - 5)

⇒ y - 5 = 5x - 25 

⇒ y - 5x + 20 = 0     ---- (i)

After 3 years father will be 3 times as old as his son

(y + 3) = 3(x + 3)

⇒ y + 3 = 3x + 9

⇒ y - 3x - 6 = 0      ---- (ii)

Solving equation (i) and (ii) we get,

x = 13

∴ Present age of son is 13 years

After rearrangement, we get the following arrangement:

So, E is sitting 3rd to the left of D after rearrangement.
Hence, Option C is correct.
Final Arrangement:

Common explanation:
References:
Six person A, B, C, D, E and F sit around a triangular table.
One person sits at each corner of the table facing away from the centre while one person sits at the middle of each edge facing toward the centre.
Inferences:
So, we need to arrange as follows to accommodate the information as stated in the question,

References:
Three persons sit between C and D, who is not facing the centre.
Inferences:
From the above reference, we get two different cases:
Case 1:

Case 2:

References:
F sits third to the left of C.
A sits second to the left of E.
A is not an immediate neighbour of D.
Inferences:
So, from this case 2 will be eliminated as A is not an immediate neighbour of D.
Case 1:

Case 2: (Eliminated)

Hence, Case 1 is the final arrangement.

1st term = 5
2nd term = 5 + (4*1) = 5 + 4 = 9
3rd term = 9 + (4*2) = 9 + 8 = 17
4th term = 17 + (4*3) = 17 + 12 = 29
5th term = 29 + (4*4) = 29 + 16 = 45

Thus, the missing number is 6th term = 45 + (4*5) = 45 + 20 = 65

The correct order will be:
Then → it struck me (P)→ how eminently (S)→ suitable it was(R) → of course.(Q)
