SSC CGL English (Tier II) Mock Test - 3 - Question 1

If B is 20% greater than C and 40% smaller than A then A is what percent larger than C?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL English (Tier II) Mock Test - 3 - Question 1

Let A, B and C have the value of a, b and c respectively

As B is 20% greater than C

⇒ b = 1.2c

Also, B is 40% smaller than A

⇒ b = 0.6a

From above two relations:

1.2c = 0.6a

⇒ a = 2c

⇒  = 2

⇒ A is double of C

∴ A is 100% larger than C

SSC CGL English (Tier II) Mock Test - 3 - Question 4

A, B and C invest Rs 71,000 in a business. A invests Rs 4000 more than B and B invests Rs 2000 more than C. Out of total profit of Rs. 21300, what is A′s share?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL English (Tier II) Mock Test - 3 - Question 4

Let C invested Rs x in business.
So, B invested Rs (x+2000)
A invested Rs (x+2000+4000) = Rs (x+6000)
As per the question,
x+(x+2000)+(x+6000) = 71000
⇒3x = 71000−8000
⇒ x = 63000/3 = 21000
So, A has invested = 21000+6000 = Rs 27000
B invested 21000+2000 = Rs 23000
C invested Rs 21,000

Find the number of factors of 40.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL English (Tier II) Mock Test - 3 - Question 6

As we know,

Now, 40 = 23 × 51

⇒ Number of factors of 40 = (3 + 1) × (1 + 1) = 4 × 2 = 8

∴ The number of factors of 40 is 8.

Statement: When you exercise daily, new cells are produced in the hippocampus, the part of the brain which controls memory and learning.

Inferences:

I. Those who have a weak memory must join a gym.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL English (Tier II) Mock Test - 3 - Question 9

The statement explains the correlation between exercise and the hippocampus, the part of the brain which controls memory and learning. The statement suggests that exercise facilitates good memory and learning.

From what is supplied we cannot deduce that those who have a weak memory must join a gym. This is beyond the scope of the statement. So inference I does not follow.

Also, from what is given it cannot be inferred that those who exercise every day necessarily do well on exams. Therefore, inference II  does not follow.

SSC CGL English (Tier II) Mock Test - 3 - Question 10

The statement says that Spirituality helps you lead a blissful life. But it does not claim that Spirituality is the only way you can lead a blissful life. Therefore, Inference I does not follow.

Peace of mind is necessary to lead a blissful life and hence Inference II is a valid inference.

So, Inference II follows.

1. Rani Padmini was a Rajput queen.

P. Allaudin Khilji invaded India and reached the gates of Chittor, the capital city of the Rajputs.

Q. But the Rajputs under Rani Padmini fought like tigers.

R. Khilji attacked Chittor again, and rushed into the fort only to be stunned.

S. Khilji desired to capture Chittor and its beautiful queen, Rani Padmini.

6. The Rani and the other women had burnt themselves alive.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL English (Tier II) Mock Test - 3 - Question 14

The proper order is: PSQR

Reason:

  • In all the sentences except P, Allaudin Khilji has been referred as 'Khilji'. Without introducing a person, we cannot refer to him by only his last name. P follows 1.
  • Now the question arise, why did Khilji reach Chittor? S gives the answer. He decided to capture Chittor and its queen. Now we might think, what was the outcome of the battle? Did he win? What did Rani Padmini do? Sentence R tells us that Khilji attacked again, so there must be a sentence before this that would tell us why he did so. Therefore,Q would be the next in sequence followed by R. So the correct sequence is PSQR.

The correct sentence is:

Allaudin Khilji invaded India and reached the gates of Chittor, the capital city of the Rajputs. Khilji desired to capture Chittor and its beautiful queen, Rani Padmini. But the Rajputs under Rani Padmini fought like tigers. Khilji attacked Chittor again and rushed into the fort only to be stunned.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL English (Tier II) Mock Test - 3 - Question 15

The voice of a verb tells whether the subject of the sentence performs or receives the action.

Rules of Conversion from Active to Passive Voice:

  1. Identify the subject, the verb and the object: S+V+O.
  2. Change the object into subject.
  3. Put the suitable helping verb or auxiliary verb.
  4. Change the verb into past participle of the verb.
  5. Add the preposition "by“.
  6. Change the subject into object.

Option (B) follows all the proper conversion rules.
