SSC CGL English (Tier II) Mock Test - 5 - SSC CGL MCQ

Given:

We know that:

and

Therefore inserting the value of and in the given equation, we get

Hence, is the answer.

Given,

∠APB = 130°

As we know,

The radius of a circle is always perpendicular to the tangent to the circle.

In a triangle the angles opposite to two equal sides are always equal.

∠OAP = ∠OBP = 90°   

Now considering OAPB,

∠OAP + ∠APB + ∠PBO + ∠BOA = 360°

∴ 90° + 130° + 90° + ∠BOA = 360°

∴ 310° + ∠BOA = 360°

∴ ∠BOA = 50° 

In ΔOAB,

OA = OB (radius of the circle)

So, ∠OAB = ∠OBA ----(In a triangle the angles opposite to two equal sides are always equal.)

⇒ ∠OAB + ∠ABO + ∠BOA = 180°

⇒ 2∠OAB + 50° = 180°

⇒ 2∠OAB = 130°

⇒ ∠OAB = 65°

∴ The value of ∠OAB is 65°.

Let us assume consecutive numbers as

So, the numbers are and statement is correct.

Let us assume consecutive numbers as

or or

Since number are natural so and is not possible,

So, the numbers are and and statement is correct.

Given,

As we know,

Let, radius of the cylinder = r cm.

Height of the cylinder = h cm.

According to problem,

⇒ r + h = 35  ------ (1)

⇒ 2πr(r + h) = 1540 ----- (2)

Substituting the value of equation (1) in equation (2), we get,

⇒ 2πr × 35 = 1540

⇒ 2πr = 44

⇒ 2 × × r = 44

⇒ r = 7

From equation (1) we get,

⇒ 7 + h = 35

⇒ h = 28

∴ Volume of the cylinder = πr²h

=  × 7² × 28

= 4312 cubic cm

Interchanging the signs and using BODMAS rule,

Option (A) → +, -

104 ÷ 8 - 6 + 9 × 3 = 34

⇒ 13 - 6 + 9 × 3 = 34

⇒ 13 - 6 + 27 = 34

⇒ 40 - 6 = 34

⇒ 34 = 34

Nine person: E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, and M

1) J sits fourth to the left of E who is sitting at one of the extreme positions.

2) Two-person sits between G and J.

Here form two cases Case 1: G is sitting right of J. Case 2: G is sitting left of J.

3)  Only one person sits between J and F, who is sitting to the right of J, and two-person sitting between F and K.

4) The number of person sitting to the left of K is the same as the number of person sitting in the right of I.

5) H is not a neighbour of K.

6) M sits at one of the positions to the right of J. M is not the neighbor of G.

Here Case 1 is eliminated because their is no vacant position in the right of J.

The final arrangement is{

So, F sitting between M and I.

So, the correct answer is "FVE".

(1) F sits third to the right of D.

(2) Two people sit between C and F when counted from the right of F.

(3) A is the immediate neighbour of F and sits third to the left of E.

(4) G is not an immediate neighbour of D.

2 people are sitting between B and G when counted from the right of B.

The correct sequence is: OQSPRT

Reason:

• While arranging the parts of the sentence given in options, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them.
• Let us start with identifying the conjunctions and subject matter in this.
• As we read the four phrases, we could understand that the subject matter is 'being self-confident and courageous'. So the first in the sequence should be O.
• 'Q' has 'also' in it, thus adding what is more required than just feeling self-confident and courageous.
• 'S' mentions that to imbibe all these things, is not a difficult task.
• 'P' has 'nor' in it. 'nor' comes after either 'neither' or 'not' to state none of the given alternatives. Thus, it will be next in the sequence.
• 'R' mentions how easy it to imbibe these qualities and is contrary to what is thought of.
• 'T' sums up the given sequence by stating how anyone can develop these qualities.

The correct sentence is:

While talking to a group, one should feel self-confident and courageous;  One should also learn how to think calmly and clearly; It is not as difficult as most men imagine; Nor is it a gift bestowed by providence on only a few; It is like the ability to play golf; Any man can develop his capacity if he has the desire to do so.

The correct sequence is RSQP.

The passage starts with an introduction to the topic at hand - the equity theory - this is followed by statement R which talks about what is included in the equity theory - people are motivated better with equity - this is followed by statement S which states how equity is different from equality and then comes statement Q which talks about equity always being a comparative process. Finally there is statement P which talks about what is involved in being treated equitably. 

The correct answer is 'Encouraging'.

Daunting: seeming difficult to deal with in prospect; intimidating.

For example: As our activities grew, the task became more daunting.

Encouraging: giving someone support or confidence; supportive.

For example: Her parents said some encouraging words to cheer her up.

Refer to, “India has a unique role to play at the UNSC, given the near-complete polarization among the permanent members (P-5 nations), with the U.S., the U.K. and France on one side, and Russia and China on the other.”

It is very much clear from the above lines that the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council are divided in their opinions and there are basically two groups in this council. The US, UK and France are on one side whereas Russia and China are on the other side.

Among the given options, we can see that Option C gives us the correct situation of the UNSC and the group based politics in the council whereas other options can be eliminated from consideration.

Refer to, “By rotation, that seat would have reached India only in the 2030s, and India had to reach out to Afghanistan, which had put in its bid already for the 2021-22 slots, to request it to withdraw. Afghanistan did so because of the special relationship between the two countries.”

It is clear from the above lines that India had to convince Afghanistan to back out from contesting in the election to the non-permanent membership of the United Nations Security Council. That’s how India could contest the membership.

Among the given options, we have to choose Option C since it gives us the correct answer whereas others can be eliminated because they are not correct as per the information given in the passage.

Refer to, “India has a unique role to play at the UNSC, given the near-complete polarization among the permanent members (P-5 nations), with the U.S., the U.K. and France on one side, and Russia and China on the other. India’s ability to work with both sides is well known.”

It is clear from the above lines that India has balanced relationship with both the camps in the UNSC Security Council and that is why India can work with both the sides.

Among the given options, Option C is the correct pick due to the fact that it gives us the correct equation of Indian government with the other countries. Other options can be eliminated since they do not follow from the information given in the passage.

Refer to, “An even bigger challenge will be to nudge all five permanent members on the one issue they have unitedly resisted: towards the reform and expansion of the UNSC, which would include India’s claim to a permanent seat at the high table.”

It is clear from the above lines that the author wants the government to take up the challenge to get India a seat in the United Nations Security Council. It should get permanent membership of that council after getting into the non-permanent membership of the organization.

Among the given options, we can see that Option A is our pick since it provides us the correct opinion of the author regarding the ultimate goal of India after getting the UNSC non-permanent membership group. Others can be ruled out due to the fact that they do not follow from the given passage.

Partha felt lonely because he had no friends at school, so no one visited him when he was at the hospital.

Refer to the line:

"Dear God, I know I messed up and nobody likes me. Please give me a second chance. I can show you what a good friend I can be." He drew a map showing the way from the school to the hospital, walked shakily to the window, and let the balloon fly away, carrying his message towards God.

An antonym for the word 'shakily' in the passage is "firmly".

"Shakily" means in a way that involves someone shaking because of being weak, ill.

"Firmly" means in a solid or strong way.

Foretell: To say what is going to happen in the future.

Preface: If you preface your words or actions with something else, you say or do this other thing first.

Establishes: To start or create an organization, a system.

Forecast: To estimate a future event.

Since the context is about knowing something of the future, the correct verb is 'foretells' here.

The proper order is: PQSR

Reason:

• The definite article 'the' used in P refers to 'ISIS' mentioned in 1. Thus, P follows 1. 
• 'This' in Q refers to the attack on the mosques, restaurants, etc mentioned in P. Therefore,P is followed by Q.
• The sentences S and R form the crucial link. Since S mentions the message and R describes what is was, these two sentences will be placed together in that order.

The correct sentence is:

The group, which swore allegiance to the Islamic State in March, targeted mosques, a church and a restaurant. This was done in much the same fashion Islamists linked to IS have attacked people elsewhere in Africa and West Asia recently. The attacks have sent a deadly message to both the Nigerian government and the rest of the world. The message was loud and clear: that notwithstanding recent military setbacks, ISIS remains capable of carrying out large-scale strikes.

Correct Sentence: Slice the cheeks off the mangoes, dice and season with lime juice. 

The plural of mango is 'mangoes'.
