Answer & Explanation

1. 2
2. 1
3. 5
I. 2x^2 + 8x + 5x + 20 = 0
(2x + 5) (x + 4) = 0 Þ x = -5/2,– 4

II. 2y^2 – 10y + 7y – 35 = 0
(2y + 7) (y – 5) = 0 Þ y = -7/2, 5

Relationship between x and y does not exist.

4. 5;
I. 12x^2 – 20x – 21x + 35 = 0
(4x –7) (3x – 5) = 0
x = 7/4, 5/3
II. 4y^2 – 12y – 5y + 15 = 0 Þ (4y – 5) (y – 3) = 0
y = 5/4, 3
Relationship between x and y does not exist

5.5;
I. 4(x^2 – 1) = 60
x^2 – 1 = 15
x = +/- 4

II. 3(y^2 + 1) = 51
y^2 + 1 = 17
y = +/- 4
Hence x = y

6. 2;
I. 28x^2 – 21x + 12x – 9 = 0
(7x + 3) (4x – 3) = 0
x = -3/7, 3/4

II. 7y^2 + 21y + 3y + 9 = 0
(7y + 3) (y + 3) = 0
y = -3/7,–3

7. 1
16 * 5/2 = 40
40 * 5/2 = 250
250 * 5/2 = 625 not equal to 630

Hence there should be 625 in place of 7630

8. 4:
The series is:
21 × 2 – 1 = 41 not equal to 48
41 × 4 – 2 = 162
162 × 6 – 3 = 969
969 × 8 – 4 = 7748
Hence, there should 41 in place of 48.

9. 3;
The series is:
118 + (11)^2 = 239
239 – (12)^2 = 95 not equal to 96
95 + (13)^2 = 264
264 – (14)^2 = 68
68 + (15)^2 = 293
Hence there should be 95 in place of 96.

10. 5
The series is
128 * 5/2 = 320
320 * 7/2 = 1120
1120 * 9/2 = 5040
5040 * 11/2 = 27720
27720 * 13/2 = 180180 not equal to 180190

1) < , = , >=              2) > , = , >=              3) <= , = , >=             4) >= , = , >=              5) Other than given options

Answer & Explanation
  1. 2

2.1

  1. 2;

Second highest number = 746;

746/2 = 373

Third highest number = 519.

Difference = 519 – 373 = 146

  1. 4;

519 = 915;

328 = 823;

746 = 647;

495 = 594;

837 = 738;

Lowest number = 594

  1. 5;

519 = 951;

328 = 832;

746 = 674;

495 = 549;

837 = 783

Highest number = 951 or 519

  1. 5;From I, ‘a’ is a prime number. But a unique value of a is not known, a can be 2, 3, 5, 7……… Hence, statement I

alone is not sufficient. From II, again a unique value of a

is not known, a can be 2, 4,6…Hence statement II alone is not sufficient. Combining I and II, that ‘a’ is even and

prime. Hence, I and II together are sufficient to answer

the question.

  1. 4; From I and II, we get 2 equation in two variables. But

they are dependent. Thus, eventually we get one equation in two variables, which have infinite solution set.

  1. 3; From statement I,

If Karan turns 90° towards his right, he will face South.

So, Rahul is facing North.

From statement II,

  1. 2
  2. 1; Check option by pick method.

By options

1) W = X < Y <= A = B >= C >= D

 

English Quiz

Directions (Q. 1-10): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it:
Bharatiya Mahila Bank, the country’s first all-women commercial bank, commenced its operations with seven branches. The first branch of Bank was opened in the iconic Air India building at Nariman point in Mumbai. India’s Prime Minister inaugurated the system on 19 November 2013 on the occasion of the 94th birth anniversary of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The setting up of the Bharatiya Mahila Bank is a small step towards the economic empowerment of women. It is also a reflection of our commitment to this cause. The bank will allow deposits to flow from everyone, but lending will be predominantly for women. The main objective of Bharatiya Mahila Bank is financial inclusion of women and providing them equal and easy access to financial services. But the move has been criticised as it treats women “differently”. This fact is guised in many forms, some in garbs of reverence, some as protection, but they are all forms of discrimination that promote gender-based stereotyping. Women-only organisations stem from this eagerness to patronise women in the name of preferential treatment.”
Bharatiya Mahila Bank has been set up with an initial paid-up capital of Rs. 1,000 crore. Led by Usha Ananthasubramanian, all the eight on the board of directors of the bank are women. The bank aimed to increase its branch count to 25 by March 2014.Currently, all the seven branches of the bank are in urban centres — Kolkata, Mumbai, Lucknow, Guwahati, Chennai, Bangalore and Ahmedabad. This could also prove to be a hindrance, at least in the short-term, in reaching out to rural women.In India, only 26% of women have an account with a formal financial institution, compared with 46% of men. That means an account in either a bank, a credit union, a co-operative, post office or a microfinance institution. Also, for women, per capita credit is 80 per cent lower than males.The Bharatiya Mahila Bank, which started operations from November 2013, is planning to open a modest 33,400 accounts through 39 branches in its first year.

Answer & Explanation

S1. Ans.(a)

Sol. COBOL (Common Business Oriented Language) was the first widely-used high-level programming language for business applications.

 

S2. Ans.(a)

Sol. An applet is a program that runs in a Web browser. An applet can be a fully functional Java application because it has the entire Java API at its disposal.

 

S3. Ans.(b)

Sol. All these are the examples of high level language. A High-level language is any programming language that enables development of a program in much simpler programming context and is generally independent of the computer’s hardware architecture. However, for a computer to understand and run a program created with a high-level language, it must be compiled into machine language.

 

S4. Ans.(d)

Sol. Fortran was originally developed by a team at IBM in 1957 for scientific calculations. Later developments made it into a high-level programming language.

 

S5. Ans.(b)

Sol. COBOL was developed by the Conference on Data Systems Languages (CODASYL) around in 1959. It was one of the first high-level programming languages created. COBOL is run on the mainframe as well as on the PC.

 

S6. Ans.(a)

Sol. 4th Generation Language is Non- procedural language.

 

S7. Ans.(b)

Sol. Assembler a computer program which translates assembly language to an object file or machine language format.

 

S8. Ans.(d)

Sol.  PASCAL a small, efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring

 

S9. Ans.(a)

Sol. A compiler is a computer program (or a set of programs) that transforms source code written in a programming language (the source language) into another computer language (the target language), with the latter often having a binary form known as object code.

 

S10. Ans.(a)

Sol. Computer language processor that translate a program line-by-line, so it is slow in execution.

 

S11. Ans.(e)

Sol. An interpreted language is a programming language for which most of its implementations execute instructions directly, without previously compiling a program into machine-language instructions.

 

S12. Ans.(c)

Sol. Among the given languages Java is purely object-oriented language.

 

S13. Ans.(c)

Sol. LISP is used in Artificial Intelligence programs and it is suitable for both numeric and Arithmetic operations.

 

S14. Ans.(d)

Sol. APL is a set of powerful built-in functions, which can be combined by indefinitely “nesting” functions and it is frequently used in time sharing.

 

S15. Ans.(a)

Sol. APL stands for A Programming Language.
