As per the passage, which of the following statements are true? 1. Most of the plastic present in the ocean today has originated from the land. 2. In recent years, the production of plastics has declined. 3. Plastic pollution is present on almost every beach.
💡Correct Answer: Option C (Only 1 and 3)
According to the passage, the plastic waste in the oceans mostly originates from the land (Statement 1) and a simple walk on any beach shows plastic waste is present (Statement 3). Statement 2 is false because global production continues to rise.
Q20
Organic ChemistryReading Comprehension
Which of the following is not the quality of plastic?
💡Correct Answer: Option C (Brittle)
The passage notes that plastic is 'versatile, lightweight, flexible, moisture resistant, strong, and relatively inexpensive.' Thus, 'brittle' is not listed as a quality of plastic.
Q21

Q91
Analytical & Instrumental ChemistryVenn Diagram
Urban graduates who are neither hard working nor honest are represented in the Venn diagram by
💡Correct Answer: Option D (11)
To represent urban graduates who are neither hard working nor honest, we find the intersection of 'Graduate' and 'Urban' (which is outside the 'Rural' shape) and exclude any parts overlapping with 'Hard working' or 'Honest'. In the standard diagram, this region is numbered 11.

If BE QUICK is coded as ZC OSGAI, then the code of the last letter of the third word in the sentence I LOVE MY COUNTRY is
💡Correct Answer: Option D (W)
The coding shifts each letter backward by 2 places (B - 2 = Z, E - 2 = C). In the sentence 'I LOVE MY COUNTRY', the third word is 'MY'. The last letter of 'MY' is 'Y'. Shifting 'Y' backward by 2 places gives 'W'.
Q97
General Knowledge & ReasoningCoding-Decoding
If in a certain language, EXECUTIVE is coded as TCIEUXVEE then how is MAUSOLEUM coded in that language?
💡Correct Answer: Option A (LSEUOAUMM)
The letter positions of the 9-letter word are rearranged using the index mapping [6, 4, 7, 3, 5, 2, 8, 1, 9]. Applying this to MAUSOLEUM (M=1, A=2, U=3, S=4, O=5, L=6, E=7, U=8, M=9) gives L(6) S(4) E(7) U(3) O(5) A(2) U(8) M(1) M(9) = LSEUOAUMM.
Q98
General Knowledge & ReasoningNumber System
If the unit digit in the product (459 46 28 484) is 2, the digit in place of * is
💡Correct Answer: Option C (7)
The unit digit of the product is determined by: 9 6 d 4 (where d is the unit digit of 28). Product of known digits: 9 6 4 = 216 (unit digit 6). So, 6 * d must end in 2. The possible values for d are 2 and 7. Among the options, 7 is correct.
Q99
General Knowledge & ReasoningSimplification
If √15 = 3.88, the value of √5/3 is
💡Correct Answer: Option C (1.29)
We can express √5/3 as √(53)/(33) = √15 / 3. Given √15 = 3.88, the value is 3.88 / 3 ≈ 1.2933.
Q100
General Knowledge & ReasoningProfit & Loss
A machine is sold at a profit of 10%. Had it been sold for Rs. 80 less, there would have been a loss of 10%. The Cost Price (C.P.) of the machine is
💡Correct Answer: Option B (400)
Let C.P. be x. Selling price 1 = 1.10x. Selling price 2 = 0.90x. The difference is 1.10x - 0.90x = 0.20x. Given 0.20x = 80, x = 80 / 0.2 = 400 Rs.
Q101
General Knowledge & ReasoningRatio & Proportion
If A:B = 5:7 and B:C = 6:11, then A:B:C is
💡Correct Answer: Option B (30:42:77)
Multiply A:B by 6 to make B = 42: A:B = 30:42. Multiply B:C by 7 to make B = 42: B:C = 42:77. Therefore, A:B:C = 30:42:77.
Q102
General Knowledge & ReasoningTime & Work
A and B can do a work in 72 days; B and C can do it in 120 days; A and C can do it in 90 days. In what time can A alone do it?
💡Correct Answer: Option B (120 days)
Work rate: 2(A+B+C) = 1/72 + 1/120 + 1/90 = 12/360 = 1/30. So, A+B+C = 1/60. Work rate of A alone = (A+B+C) - (B+C) = 1/60 - 1/120 = 1/120. Thus, A alone takes 120 days.
Q103
General Knowledge & ReasoningSimple Interest
A man invests an amount of Rs. 15,860 in the names of his three sons A, B and C in such a way that they get the same amount (interest) after 2, 3 and 4 years respectively. If the rate of simple interest is 5%, then the ratio of amounts invested among A, B and C will be
💡Correct Answer: Option C (6:4:3)
This question mistakenly equates 'amount' with 'interest'. For equal simple interest: P_A 2 5 = P_B 3 5 = P_C 4 5 => 2P_A = 3P_B = 4P_C. Ratio = 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4 = 6:4:3. (If equal total amount, ratio would be 276:264:253).
Q104
General Knowledge & ReasoningGeometry
How many sides does a polygon have if the measure of each interior angle is 8 times the measure of each exterior angle?
💡Correct Answer: Option D (18)
Let exterior angle be x. Interior angle is 8x. Since interior + exterior = 180°, x + 8x = 180° => 9x = 180° => x = 20°. The number of sides n = 360° / exterior angle = 360° / 20° = 18.
Q105
General Knowledge & ReasoningData Interpretation
Based on the Packaging Materials for Food and Beverages graph (Glass food = 5.1 units, Glass beverage = 7.4 units), what per cent of the total glass packaging material was used for packaging food items?
💡Correct Answer: Option A (40.8)
Total glass packaging = 5.1 (food) + 7.4 (beverage) = 12.5 units. The percentage used for food = (5.1 / 12.5) * 100 = 40.8%.
Q106
General Knowledge & ReasoningData Interpretation
Which of the packaging materials was used for packaging food items and beverages in the ratio of 4:9?
💡Correct Answer: Option B (Paper)
