SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 5 - Question 1

Directions: Some statements are given, followed by three conclusions I, II and III. You have to consider the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given conclusions, if any, follow from the given statements. Indicate your answer.
Statements:
All chickens are birds.
Some chickens are hens.
Female birds lay eggs.
Conclusions:
I. All birds lay eggs.
II. Some hens are birds.
III. Some chickens are not hens.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 5 - Question 1

Analysis of Conclusions:


Conclusion I: All birds lay eggs.

The statement only specifies that female birds lay eggs. It does not imply that all birds (including male birds) lay eggs. Therefore, this conclusion does not follow.


Conclusion II: Some hens are birds.

Since all chickens are birds and some chickens are hens, it logically follows that those hens that are also chickens are birds. Therefore, this conclusion follows.


Conclusion III: Some chickens are not hens.

The statement says some chickens are hens, but it does not specify that there are chickens that are not hens. It is possible that all other chickens are hens. Therefore, this conclusion does not necessarily follow.


Summary of Conclusions:
Conclusion I: Does not follow.
Conclusion II: Follows.
Conclusion III: Does not follow.
Final Answer:
Since only conclusion II follows from the statements, the correct answer is:

d) Only conclusion II follows.

SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 5 - Question 2

In the following question, select the related number from the given alternatives.
9143 : 9963 : : 6731 : ?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 5 - Question 2
9143 : 9963 : : 6731 : ?
So, 9 + 1 + 4 + 3 = 17
9 + 9 + 6 + 3 = 27
So, similarly
6 + 7 + 3 + 1 = 17
So, out of given options, only
8 + 9 + 6 + 4 = 27
So, 9143 : 9963 : : 6731 : 8964

Mike and Papu start walking in opposite directions from a point O and travel 3 km. Then, Mike turns right and covers 4 km, Papu also turns right and covers 4 km. Find out the distance between Mike and Papu.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 5 - Question 3

Consider the figure drawn according to the given conditions:

OC = OD = 3 km
AC = BD = 4 km
On applying Pythagoras theorem,
AO = km
= km = 5 km
Similarly, OB = 5 km
∴ Required distance = AO + OB = 5 km + 5 km = 10 km

SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 5 - Question 4
If 9 × 3 = 3; 15 × 3 = 5; and 60 × 5 = 12, then what is the value of 27 × 3?

So, 27 × 3 means 27 ÷ 3 = 9.
Hence, 9 is the correct answer.

SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 5 - Question 10

What number should be added to each of the numbers 35, 115, 53 and 165, so that the resulting numbers are in continued proportion?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 5 - Question 10

Let x be the number added to each of the numbers 35, 115, 53 and 165.
According to the question,

Now,
⇒ (35 + x)(165 + x) = (53 + x) (115 + x)
⇒ 5775 + 165x + 35x + x2 = 6095 + 115x + 53x + x2
⇒ 200x - 168x = 320
⇒ 32x = 320
⇒ x = 10
Hence, 10 should be added to each of the numbers 35, 115, 53 and 165, so that the resulting numbers are in continued proportion.

SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 5 - Question 11
The point P(a, b) is first reflected in origin to P1 and P1 is reflected in Y-axis to (4, -3). What are the coordinates of point P?
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 5 - Question 11
P(a, b) is reflected in origin to P1. Change the sign of both X and Y coordinates.
Coordinates of P1 = (-a, -b)
Now, point P1 is reflected in Y-axis. The Y-coordinate remains the same. Change the X-co-ordinate.
The coordinates of the next point should be (a, -b), which is equal to (4, -3).
So, a = 4 and b = 3
Therefore, the coordinates of point P are (4, 3).
SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 5 - Question 12
What is the difference between a single discount of 30% and a single discount equivalent to two successive discounts of 25% and 5% being given on the shopping of Rs. 2,000?

Discount = = Rs. 600
Single equivalent discount for discounts of 25% and 5%
=
= (30 - 1.25)% = 28.75%
Therefore, discount = = Rs. 575
∴ Difference = (600 – 575) = Rs. 25
Hence, option 1 is correct.
SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 5 - Question 13
If the given number 925x85 is divisible by 11, then the smallest value of x is:
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 5 - Question 13
- To check if 925x85 is divisible by 11, calculate the difference between the sum of the digits in odd positions and even positions.
- Odd position sum: 9 + 5 + 8 = 22
- Even position sum: 2 + x + 5 = 7 + x
- Set up the equation: 22 - (7 + x) = 15 - x
- For divisibility by 11, this should equal a multiple of 11: 15 - x = 11a.
- For the smallest value of x, set a = 1: 15 - x = 11 gives x = 4.
- Thus, the smallest value of x is 4.

⇒ A : B : C = 4 : 2 : 1

SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 5 - Question 16

In an examination, Anita scored 31% marks and failed by 16 marks. Sunita scored 40% marks and obtained 56 marks more than those required to pass. Find the minimum marks required to pass.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 5 - Question 16

Anita scored 31% marks and failed by 16 marks and Sunita scored 40% marks and obtained 56 marks more than those required to pass.
Difference of percentage = difference of marks
40% - 31% = 16 + 56 (Anita is failed and Sunita is passed so marks will be added)
9% = 72 marks
56 marks = (9/72) x 56 = 7%
Sunita scored 40% marks and obtained 56 marks more than those required to pass so.
Minimum passing marks = 40% - 7% = 33%
7% = 56 marks
33% = (56/7) x 33 marks
Thus, the minimum passing marks are 264
Hence, answer option 2 is correct.
