MPPSC Paper 2 (GA) Mock Test - 9 - MPPSC (Madhya Pradesh) MCQ

From the given information:

The position of '4' in the code is the same as the position of the letter 'R' in both words.

So, the letter 'R' has code '4'.

⇒ The code for each letter in the given word is the number in the same position in its code.

Hence, the codes for all the letters can be decoded as follows:-

So, the code for 'RING' = '4387' (R - 4, I - 3, N - 8 and G - 7)

Qualities Projected in this situation: (Effective Intelligence, Self-confidence, Sense of responsibility, and Speed of decision making).

Given:

Percentage expenditure of Highways and Railways in 2018 respectively = 19% and 20%

Expenditure on all sectors in 2018 = 500 lakhs

Percentage increase in expenditure in all sectors in 2019 = 20%

We know that:

Percentage

Total expenditure in all sectors in

Expenditure of Highways and Railways together in

Required percentage

∴ The required percentage of expenditure is 32.5%

Given:
Percentage expenditure of Railways =20%
Percentage expenditure of Power sector =15%
We know that:
Central angle for a component =

Central angle for expenditure of Railways =

Central angle for expenditure of Power sector =

Required central angle =72∘+54∘=126∘

∴ Central angle for percentage expenditure of Railways and Power together is 126∘

The logic follows here:

Hence, the correct answer is "35.5".

Logic:

Sea is in Earth but Sun is outside the Earth.

Hence, option (1) is the correct answer.

The correct answer is 'The refusal on the part of man to change his character.'

Key Points

• According to the passage, man's miseries are related to his nature.
• The passage states that until man’s nature changes, his physical needs will keep rising and no amount of physical help will be able to satisfy him.
• Also, physical resources on earth are limited.

Therefore, the most likely reason for man’s miseries, according to the passage, is the refusal on the part of man to change his character.

The correct answer is 'Neither 1 nor 2'.

Key Points

• Let us examine the given assumptions.
• Assumption 1 states that the author gives primary importance to physical and material help in eradicating human misery.
  • However, this is incorrect because as mentioned in the passage, the author feels that man's character is the main problem behind the miseries he faces.
• Assumption 2 is incorrect because the author explicitly states that we may convert every house in the country into a charitable asylum, create more hospitals but human misery will continue until man nature changes.

Therefore, the correct option is 'Neither 1 nor 2'.

The number of triangles in the given figure is:

Here, the number of triangles is '6'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (2)".

Given:

Total amount distributed = Rs. 12,900

Number of sons = 5, Number of daughters = 4, and Number of nephews = 2

Calculation:

According to the question,

5s + 4d + 2n = 12900

Now, Each daughter receives four times as much as each nephew. And Each son receives five times as much as each nephew.

⇒ s : d : n = 5 : 4 : 1

Now, (25 + 16 + 2) = 12900

⇒ 43 = 12900

⇒ 1 = 300

Each daughter received money = 4d = 4 × 300 = 1200

∴ Each daughter received money is Rs 1200

Given:

The following bar graph shows the total selling price (in Rs.) and total cost price (in Rs.) of each of six different flowers in a day.

The ratio of number of rose, lily and sunflower sold = 7 ∶ 5 ∶ 10

Calculation:

Let the number of rose = 7x

Let the number of lily = 5x

Let the number of sunflower = 10x

For rose:

Total selling price = Rs. 800

Total cost price = Rs. 450

Total profit = Rs. 800 - Rs. 450 = Rs. 350

Profit on each rose = Rs. 350/7x = Rs. 50/x

For lily:

Total selling price = Rs. 720

Total cost price = Rs. 540

Total profit = Rs. 720 - Rs. 540 = Rs. 180

Profit on each lily = Rs. 180/5x = Rs 36/x

For sunflower:

Total selling price = Rs. 630

Total cost price = Rs. 490

Total profit = Rs. 630 - Rs. 490 = Rs. 140

Profit on each sunflower = Rs. 140/10 = Rs. 14/x

According to the question,

The required ratio = 50/x : 36/x : 14/x = 25 : 18 : 7

Therefore, "25 : 18 : 7" is the required answer.

सही उत्तर है "जलवायु परिवर्तन ध्रुवीय भालू के अस्तित्व के लिए खतरा है।"

Key Points

• आइए हम एक-एक करके विकल्पों को देखें:
• विकल्प (1)- यह "जलवायु परिवर्तन के कारण आर्कटिक गर्मियों के कम होने लेकिन तापमान अधिक होने के कारण" के बारे में बात करता है। यह कथन पूरी तरह से गलत है। लेखक का कहना है कि गर्मियों के समय के दौरान मौजूद संपूर्ण आर्कटिक बर्फ का आकार दिन प्रतिदिन छोटा होता जा रहा है। अतः, यह कथन गलत है।
• विकल्प (2)- इस कथन में लिखा है, "ध्रुवीय भालू के अस्तित्व को बचाने के लिए उन्हें दक्षिण ध्रुव में स्थानांतरित किया जा सकता है।" ध्रुवीय भालू के दक्षिण ध्रुव में स्थानांतरित होने के विचार का कोई उल्लेख नहीं है। अतः, यह कथन गलत है।
• विकल्प (3)- इस कथन में लिखा है "ध्रुवीय भालू की उपस्थिति के बिना, आर्कटिक क्षेत्र में खाद्य श्रृंखला गायब हो जाएगी।" यह कथन सही है लेकिन स्पष्ट रूप से सटीक संदेश नहीं है कि इसके लिए यह गद्यांश लिखा गया है। वास्तव में, यह लुप्तप्राय ध्रुवीय भालू का प्रभाव होगा यदि वे आर्कटिक महासागर के विशाल बर्फ के आवरण के पिघलने के कारण जलमग्न हो जाते हैं तो खाद्य श्रृंखला प्रभावित होगी। अतः, यह कथन गद्यांश में सबसे महत्वपूर्ण संदेश नहीं है।
• विकल्प (4)- इस कथन में लिखा है "जलवायु परिवर्तन ध्रुवीय भालू के अस्तित्व के लिए खतरा है।" यह सबसे महत्वपूर्ण संदेश है जो लेखक गद्यांश के माध्यम से कहना चाहता है। पूरा गद्यांश वैश्विक तापमान के बढ़ने के बारे में बताता है जो जलवायु परिवर्तन के अलावा कुछ नहीं है। इसके परिणामस्वरूप गर्मियों की शुरुआत में बर्फ का पिघलना और सर्दियों में बर्फ के जमना देर से होना होता है, इसने गर्मियों की अवधि भी बढ़ा दी है। जिसके कारण आर्कटिक महासागर के बर्फ के टुकड़े साल-दर-साल अधिक पिघल रहे हैं और 'ध्रुवीय भालू' के जीवन के लिए एक गंभीर खतरा पैदा कर रहे हैं। जैसा कि वे समुद्री बर्फ के खंड के ऊपर रहते हैं, आने वाले समय में डूब सकते हैं यदि इस समस्या को ध्यान में नहीं रखा जाता है।
• अतः, सही उत्तर विकल्प (4) है।

Explanation: The Nyaya school's five-part syllogistic argument is known as the "Panchavayava". The five parts are:

• Pratijna (Thesis)
• Hetu (Reason)
• Udaharana (Evidence/Example)
• Upanaya (Application)
• Nigamana (Conclusion)

Upadhi (Fallacy) isn't part of these five but is rather a term related to the concept of flawed reasons or invalid assumptions in Indian logic. Therefore, Option 3 is the correct answer.

Key Points

The Nyaya school of Indian logic uses a five-part syllogistic argument logic structure, often referred to as "Panchavayava". Here's a breakdown of each part:

• Pratijna (Assertion/Thesis): This is the statement of the thesis that one wishes to prove. For example, "The hill has fire."
• Hetu (Reason): This is the primary reason or evidence provided to support the assertion. It should be a logical and universally applicable rationale. For example, "Because it has smoke."
• Udaharana (Example): This is a universal example that demonstrates the connection between the reason (hetu) and the assertion (pratijna). This can be something commonly observed and agreed upon. For example, "Whenever there's smoke, as in a kitchen, there's fire."
• Upanaya (Reiteration/Application): This part reiterates the general principle in relation to the specific case being discussed. It aims to make the hetu more relatable to the pratijna. For example, "There is smoke on the hill which is invariably associated with fire, just like the smoke in the kitchen."
• Nigamana (Conclusion): This refers to the final conclusion, confirming the thesis based on the foregoing logic. For example, "Therefore, there is indeed fire on the hill."

From the given open dice:

4 is opposite to 6

5 is opposite to 3

So, 2 is opposite to 1

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.
