HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 1

The area of rhombus using its diagonals d1  and  d2 is

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 1
  • The area of a rhombus is calculated using the two diagonals.
  • Dividing the rhombus along its diagonals creates four right triangles.
  • Thus, the formula becomes 1/2 multiplied by the product of d1 and d2.
  • Answer d, which represents 1/2 (d1 x d2), is correct.
HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 2

Pipe A can fill a tank of 1000 liters in 150 minutes. In how many minutes can it fill a tub of 60 liters while working with 5% of its efficiency?

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 2

First, find the normal rate of Pipe A:

  • Pipe A fills 1000 liters in 150 minutes.
  • Hence, its normal rate = 1000 / 150 = 6.6667 liters per minute.

Next, if it works at only 5% efficiency, its rate becomes:

  • 5% of 6.6667 = 0.05 × 6.6667 = 0.3333 liters per minute (approximately).

Finally, to fill 60 liters at this reduced rate:

  • Time required = 60 / 0.3333 ≈ 180 minutes.

Answer: 180 minutes (Option c).

Hence, Option C is correct.

HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 3

What is the average of all even numbers between 1 and 50?

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 3

All even numbers between 1 and 50 = 2 to 48

Hence, Option D is correct.

HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 4

The average of 100 numbers is 210. The average of these 100 numbers and 20 other new numbers is 200. What is the average of 20 new numbers?

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 4

 

Sum of 100 numbers =100×210=21000
Sum of 120 numbers =120×200=24000
Sum of 20 numbers =24000−21000=3000
∴ Average of 20 new numbers =3000/20=150


Hence, Option D is correct.

HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 5

HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 14

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:

Six persons – I, J, K, L, M, and N have visited different countries – U, V, W, X, Y, and Z and are sitting around a triangular table facing the center, one person on each corner and one person on each side. Who sits 3rd to the left of the one who visited W?
Statement I:
K, who visited Y sits 2nd to the right of J. Two persons sits between I and the one who visited U. L visited Z and sits on the corner, just to the right of the one who visited X. M sits immediate left of K. The one who visited W sits at a corner.
Statement II: The one who visited Z, sits just right of I at a corner. Two persons sit between J and N, who visited W. M visited U and sits just left of K who visited Y.

From Statement I: From this statement, we get the following diagram


Clearly, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

From Statement II: From this statement, we get following diagram


Clearly, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Checking both Statement, I and II together:

Here, on merging both the statements we get the following diagram,


So, by combining both the statements, we can say J sits 3rd to the left of N, who visited W..

Clearly, Statement I and Statement II together are necessary to answer the question.

Hence, option E is the correct answer.

HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 17

Select the number which can be placed at the sign of the question mark (?) from the given alternatives.

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 17

The logic follows here is:

In fig 1:

12 = 6 ÷ 2 × 4

12 = 3 × 4 

12 = 12

In fig 2:

80 = 20 ÷ 2 × 8

80 = 10 × 8

80 = 80

Similarly,

63 = ? ÷ 2 × 21

63 / 21 = ? ÷ 2

3 = ? ÷ 2

? = 3 × 2

? = 6

Hence, the correct answer is "6".

Q. Which of the following person sits immediate right of Q?

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 18

From the common explanation, we get T sits immediate right of Q.
Hence, Option B is correct.
Final Arrangement:

Common Explanation:
References:

Exactly two persons are sitting between P and Q.
Only one person is sitting between P and U.
Inferences:
From the above references, we get two different cases:

References:
S is sitting second to the right of R.
Inferences:
From the above reference, we get the following arrangements:

References:
T is not sitting beside S.
Inferences:
So, from this case 2 will be eliminated as T is not sitting beside S.
Hence, we get our final arrangement:

HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 20
If x + 1/x = 25, find the value of x – 1/x.
Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 20

Given:

x + 1/x = 25

Concept Used:

If x + 1/x = p then, x – 1/x = √(p2 – 4)

Calculation:

It is given that x + 1/x = 25

We know that if x + 1/x = p then, x – 1/x = √(p2 – 4)

⇒ x – 1/x = √(252 – 4)

⇒ x – 1/x = √(625 – 4)

⇒ x – 1/x = √621

∴ value of x – 1/x is √621.
HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 21

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 21

According to the given information:


So, the cube of the number 2 is 8.

But in the statement, 'eight' is called 'nine'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Nine".

Diesel engines are generally

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 24
In the case of IC engines, two types of governing are involved.

Quality-Based Governing: In this type of engines, we can control the air-fuel ratio or quality of the air-fuel mixture. This is done in the case of diesel engines, where the fuel is introduced inside the cylinder by fuel injection.

Quantity Based Governing: In this type of engine, we can not control the air-fuel ratio by any means. We can control the volume of the mixture supplied to the engine. This is employed in SI engines.

HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 27

The coldest part of the domestic refrigerator is

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 27
Working of different parts of the refrigerator are

Compressor: The compressor is located at the back of the refrigerator and in the bottom area. The compressor sucks the refrigerant from the evaporator and discharges it at high pressure and temperature. The compressor is driven by the electric motor, and it is the major power-consuming device of the refrigerator.

Condenser: The condenser is the thin coil of copper tubing located at the back of the refrigerator. The refrigerant from the compressor enters the condenser,stress-strain where it is cooled by the atmospheric air, thus losing heat absorbed by it in the evaporator and the compressor.

Expansive valve or the capillary: The refrigerant leaving the condenser enters the expansion device, which is the capillary tube in domestic refrigerators. The capillary is the thin copper tubing made up of a number of turns of the copper coil. When the refrigerant is passed through the capillary, its pressure and temperature drop down suddenly.

Evaporator or chiller or freezer: The refrigerant at very low pressure and temperature enters the evaporator or the freezer. It is the coldest part of the refrigerator. The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the substance to be cooled in the evaporator, gets evaporated, and is then sucked by the compressor. This cycle keeps on repeating.

Receiver: The primary function of the receiver is to catch and hold any liquid refrigerant that didn’t boil off in the evaporator. Liquid refrigerant getting to the compressor can damage the pistons.

HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 28

Size of the shaper is specified by

Detailed Solution for HPCL Mechanical Engineer Mock Test - 9 - Question 28
Shaping, planning, and slotting operations are similar machining processes that provide a cutting action due to straight-line reciprocating motion between the tool and the work. In all the processes, single-point cutting tools are used.

In shaping and planning operations, straight and flat surfaces are created. In shaping operation, the speed motion is accomplished by moving the cutting tool, while in planning, the motion is accomplished by the workpiece. Shaping is performed in a machine tool called a shaper, whereas the machine tool for planning is called a planer. The slotting process is identical to shaping except that the motion of the ram is vertical instead of horizontal.

The size of the shaper is specified by the maximum length of stroke or cut it makes. The maximum stroke length of the shaper is 900 mm.
