D: Answer: D Solve the following question using the matrix given below:a b c d p q r s u v wx 1 2 34

Q.No. : Question :

11 What is the value of trace(M), if a=1 and q+w=0.

A: B: C: D: Answer: A Solution
0 3 1

The trace of an n-by-n square matrix is defined to be the sum of the elements on the main diagonal Trace = a + q + w + 4 Given, a = 1, q + w = 0 So Trace = 1 + 0 + 4 = 5 Q.No. : Question : A: 12 If we diagonally change the elements by keeping a fixed then the element above r is?
c

B: C: D: Answer: B Solution By keeping a fix change the element diagonally means keep the diagonal containing a intact and treat it as a mirror a b c d p q r s u v w x 1 2 3 4 will change to a b c d p q r s u 1 v 2 w 3 x 4
w 3

In other word "Transpose"

So element above "r" will be "q" Q.No. : Question : A: 13 Change the row(2) by row(4) then the column(3) by column(1) then what is the element between the vowel..
2

B: C: D: Answer: B Q.No. : Question : A: B: C: 14 If we change the numbers by the alphabets placed at the same position of alphabets then the value of det(M) is

C: D: Answer: C Q.No. : Question : 37 7 spider makes 7 webs in 7 days then 1 spider makes 1 web in how many days?
pie/2

A:

B: C: D: Answer: B Solution 7 spider makes 7 webs in 7 days 1 spider makes 7 webs in 7*7 days 1 spider makes 1 webs in 7*7/7 days = 7 days Q.No. : Question : 38 In a regular week, there are 5 working days and for each day, the working hours are 8. A man gets Rs. 2.40 per hour for regular work and Rs. 3.20 per hours for overtime. If he earns Rs. 432 in 4 weeks, then how many hours does he work for ?
160 1/7 7/2

A:

175

B: C: D: Answer: B Solution In 4 weeks, working days = 4*5= 20 So total working hours = 20 * 8 = 160 Earnings from working hours = 160 * 2.4 = 384 Rs So earning from overtime = 432 - 384 = 48 Rs. Total overtime hours = 48/3.2 = 15 Hrs.
180 195

So Total hours worked = 160 + 15 = 175 Q.No. : Question : A: B: 39 The banker's gain of a certain sum due 2 years hence at 10% per annum is Rs. 24. The present worth is:
480 520

600

C: D: Answer: C Solution Let x be the T.D x*10*2/100=24 x=120 Present worth*10*2/100=120 Present worth=600 Q.No. : Question : A: 40 In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'OPTICAL' be arranged so that the vowels always come together?
120 960

720

B: C: D: Answer: B Solution We divide OPTICAL into two groups : consonants and vowels
4320 2160

Consonants : PTCL Vowel : OIA Now vowels has to be together so we consider it as one group Different ways in which letters of the word 'OPTICAL' be arranged = 5!*3! =720 Q.No. : Question : A: B: 41 Out of 7 consonants and 4 vowels, how many words of 3 consonants and 2 vowels can be formed?
210 1050

25200

C: D: Answer: C Solution Ways to choose 3 consonants out of 7 consonants =7C3Ways to choose 2 consonants out of 4 consonants =4C2 Ways to arrange 5 letters = 5! So total ways = 7C3 *4C2*5! = 25200 Q.No. : Question : 42 4 men and 6 women can complete a work in 8 days, while 3 men and 7 women can complete it in 10 days. In how many days will 10 women complete it?
35 21400

A:

40

B: C: D:
45 50

Answer: B Solution Let one men completes work in x days and one women in y days (4*8)/x+(6*8)/y=1 =>4/x+6/y=1/8 and (3*10)/x+(7*10)/y=1 => 3/x+7/y=1/10 On solving y=400 One women completes work on 400 days therefore 10 women completes work in = 400/10 =40 days Q.No. : Question : 43 A tank is filled by three pipes with uniform flow. The first two pipes operating simultaneously fill the tank in the same time during which the tank is filled by the third pipe alone. The second pipe fills the tank 5 hours faster than the first pipe and 4 hours slower than the third pipe. The time required by the first pipe is:
6 hour 10 hour

A: B:

15 hour

C: D: Answer: C Solution Let time required by the first pipe = x hrs So time taken by second pipe = (x-5) hrs And time taken by third pipe = (x-5-4) = (x-9) hrs Now, The first two pipes operating simultaneously fill the tank in the same time during which the tank is filled by the third pipe alone So 1/x + 1/(x-5) = 1/(x-9) or x = 15 hrs Q.No. : Question : 44 A watch which gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes was set right at 7 a.m. In the
20 hour

afternoon of the same day, when the watch indicated quarter past 4 o'clock, the true time is: A:
59(7/12) min past3

4pm

B: C: D: Answer: B Solution Short Method: Since clock gains 5sec in 3 mins. So it will gain 100 sec in 60mins (1 hour) So it will gain 900 sec in 9 hours. i.e clock will be 900 sec (15 mins ) fast when actual time is 4 o'clock i.e. clock will show quarter past 4 when actual time is 4. Actual Method: Suppose clock gains t sec when it shows 4 mins 15 sec. So the actual time should be (75-t/60) minutes past 3 o'clock. So the duration of time in which clock shows quarter past 4 = 8 hrs + (75 - t/60) mins = (550-t/60) minutes In (550-t/60) minutes clock will gain = 5/3 * (550-t/60) So 5/3 * (550-t/60) = t or t = 900 sec i.e. 15 minutes So actual time will be quarter past 4'oclock- 15 minutes = 4'oclock Q.No. : Question : 45 In Arun opinion, his weight is greater than 65 kg but less than 72 kg. His brother doesnt not agree with Arun and he thinks that Aruns weight is greater than 60 kg but less than 70 kg. His mother's view is that his weight cannot be greater than 68 kg. If all are them are correct in their estimation, what is the average of different probable weights of Arun?
58(7/11) min past 3 2(3/11) min past 4

67 kg

A: B: C: D: Answer: A Solution According to Arun his weight can be 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71 According to his brother: 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69 According to his mother: 68, 67, 66, 65, .... All are correct, so possible weight: 66, 67, 68 Average = 67 Hence A Q.No. : Question : 46 A metallic sheet is of rectangular shape with dimensions 48 m x 36 m. From each of its corners, a square is cut off so as to make an open box. If the length of the square is 8 m, the volume of the box (in m3) is:
4830 68 kg 69 kg Data inadequate

A:

5120

B: C: D: Answer: B Solution Clearly, l = (48 - 16)m = 32 m,

6420 8960

b = (36 -16)m = 20 m, h = 8 m. Volume of the box = (32 x 20 x 8) m3 = 5120 m3.

Q.No. : Question :

47 50 men took a dip in a water tank 40 m long and 20 m broad on a religious day. If the average displacement of water by a man is 4 m3, then the rise in the water level in the tank will be( in cm):
20

A:

25

B: C: D: Answer: B Solution Total volume of water displaced = (4 x 50) m3 = 200 m3. Let in water be x 40*20*x=50*4 x=0.25m= 25cm
