    Correct Answer
    C. Books

    The analogy here is that a book is made up of pages, just like a library is made up of books. In both cases, the smaller component is a part of the larger whole. Therefore, the correct answer is "Books."

      August

    • C.

      January

    • D.

      June

    August is the eighth month of the year, as stated in the question. It follows July and precedes September in the calendar. Therefore, August is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    In the following set of words, which word does not belong?

    • A.

      Happiness

    • B.

      Pleasure

    • C.

      Enjoyment

    • D.

      Impulsiveness

    • E.

      Satisfaction

    Correct Answer
    D. Impulsiveness
    Explanation
    All the words in the set (happiness, pleasure, enjoyment, satisfaction) are related to positive emotions or feelings. However, "impulsiveness" stands out because it does not fit into this category. Impulsiveness refers to acting without thinking or planning, which is not necessarily associated with positive emotions.

    • A.

      Chore

    • B.

      Dirt

      Soap

    • D.

      Gloves

    • E.

      Shiny

    Correct Answer
    B. Dirt
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "dirt" because cleaning is the action performed to remove dirt, just as curing is the action performed to remove a disease. Both cleaning and curing involve getting rid of something unwanted or harmful.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    If the first two statements are true, is the final statement true? "Black haired people are kind. I have black hair. I am kind."

    • A.

      Yes

    • B.

      No

    • C.

      Neither True or False (No rational argument)

    Correct Answer
    C. Neither True or False (No rational argument)
    Explanation
    The final statement cannot be determined as true based solely on the first two statements. While it is stated that black-haired people are kind and the person making the statement has black hair, there is no logical connection between having black hair and being kind. Therefore, the final statement cannot be deemed true or false without further evidence or reasoning.

    Choose the sentence that is written most correctly:

    • B.

      He has received no other message than an urgent telegram asking him to rush to his village immediately

    • C.

      He has received no other message than an urgent telegram asking him rushing at his village immediately

    • D.

      He has received no other message than an urgent telegram asking him to have rush his village immediately

    Correct Answer
    B. He has received no other message than an urgent telegram asking him to rush to his village immediately
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "He has received no other message than an urgent telegram asking him to rush to his village immediately." This sentence is written most correctly because it uses the correct preposition "to" after the verb "rush" and the correct preposition "to" before the noun "his village." It also uses the adverb "immediately" correctly to describe the urgency of the situation.

    After being dropped a certain ball always bounces back to 2/5 of the height of its previous bounce. After the first bounce it reaches a height of 125 centimeters. How high (in centimeters) will it reach after its fourth  bounce?

    • A.

      20

    • B.

      27

    • C.

      8

    • D.

      35

    • E.

      3.2

    Correct Answer
    C. 8
    Explanation
    The ball reaches a height of 125 centimeters after the first bounce. Since the ball always bounces back to 2/5 of its previous height, after the first bounce, it will reach a height of 125 * 2/5 = 50 centimeters. After the second bounce, it will reach a height of 50 * 2/5 = 20 centimeters. After the third bounce, it will reach a height of 20 * 2/5 = 8 centimeters. Therefore, after the fourth bounce, it will also reach a height of 8 centimeters.

    Last night men who knocked at our doors ________ 

    • A.

      Were a stranger

    • B.

      Was strangers

    • C.

      Were strangers

    • D.

      Was stranger

    Correct Answer
    C. Were strangers
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Were strangers." This is because the subject "men" is plural, so the correct verb form should also be plural. Therefore, "were" is the correct form of the verb to agree with the plural subject.

    In a family there are husband wife, two sons and two daughters. All the ladies were invited to a dinner. Both sons went out to play. Husband did not return from office. Who was at home? 

    • A.

    • C.

      Husband and two sons

    • D.

      Everyone was at home

    • E.

      Nobody was at home

    Correct Answer
    E. Nobody was at home
    Explanation
    Since the question states that all the ladies were invited to a dinner and both sons went out to play, it implies that none of the family members were at home. Therefore, the correct answer is "Nobody was at home."

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    A, B and C can do a piece of work in 20, 30 and 60 days respectively. In how many days can A do the work if he is assisted by B and C on every third day?

    • A.

      12days

    • B.

      15 days

    • C.

      16 days

    • D.

      10 days

    Correct Answer
    B. 15 days
    Explanation
    A can do the work alone in 20 days. On every third day, A is assisted by B and C. This means that A works alone for 2 days, and then works with B and C on the third day. Since B and C can complete the work in 30 and 60 days respectively, their combined efficiency is 1/30 + 1/60 = 1/20. This means that on the third day, A's effective efficiency is doubled. Therefore, the work done by A in 3 days is equivalent to the work done by A alone in 6 days. So, in 15 days, A will complete the entire work.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    A father said to his son, "I was as old as you are at the present at the time of your birth". If the father's age is 38 years now, the son's age five years back was:

    • A.

      14

    • B.

      33

    • C.

      19

    • D.

      38

    Correct Answer
    A. 14
    Explanation
    When the father says "I was as old as you are at the present at the time of your birth," it means that the age difference between the father and son is the same as the son's current age. If the father is currently 38 years old, then the son's age is 38 - 5 = 33 years. Therefore, the son's age five years back was 33 - 5 = 28 years. The correct answer is 14.

      true

    • B.

      False

    • C.

      Uncertain

    Correct Answer
    A. true
    Explanation
    The first statement states that all offices on the 9th floor have wall-to-wall carpeting. The second statement states that no wall-to-wall carpeting is pink. Therefore, it can be concluded that none of the offices on the 9th floor have pink wall-to-wall carpeting. Hence, the third statement is true.

    What decimal of an hour is a minute?

    • A.

      0.60

    • B.

      0.016

    • C.

      0.060

    • D.

      0.000016

    Correct Answer
    B. 0.016
    Explanation
    A minute is equal to 1/60th of an hour. To convert this fraction into a decimal, we divide 1 by 60, which gives us 0.016. Therefore, 0.016 is the decimal representation of a minute in an hour.

    Cake is to party as bed is to 

    • A.

      Sleep

    • B.

      Nightmare

    • C.

      Dream

    • D.

      Room

    Correct Answer
    D. Room
    Explanation
    The analogy between cake and party suggests that cake is a component or a necessary element of a party. Similarly, the analogy between bed and room implies that bed is a component or a necessary element of a room. In this analogy, sleep, nightmare, and dream do not necessarily have a direct relationship with bed, whereas room does. Therefore, the correct answer is room.

    • D.

      Both I and II follow

    Correct Answer
    D. Both I and II follow
    Explanation
    Both courses of action follow because they address the problem of the large number of people suffering from fatal malaria in ward X. Course of action I suggests that the city municipal authority should carry out extensive fumigation in ward X to control the mosquito population and prevent the spread of malaria. Course of action II suggests that the people in the area should be advised to take steps to avoid mosquito bites, which can help reduce the risk of contracting malaria. Both actions are necessary to effectively address the problem and prevent further cases of malaria.
