Question 26 of 30
26. Question
A rectangular water tank measures 20m * 6m at the top and is 10m deep. It is full of water. If water is drawn out lowering the level by 1 meter, how much water has been drawn out?
Correct
Solution (c)
Water drawn out = Initial volume of the tank – Final volume of the tank
= ( 20 * 6 * 10 ) –( 20 * 6 * (10-1))
= 1200 – 1080
= 120 m3 = 120000 litres
Incorrect
Solution (c)
Water drawn out = Initial volume of the tank – Final volume of the tank
= ( 20 * 6 * 10 ) –( 20 * 6 * (10-1))
= 1200 – 1080
= 120 m3 = 120000 litres

27. Question
The diameters of two circular coins are in the ratio of 1:4. The smaller coin is made to roll around the bigger coin till it returns to the position where the process of rolling started. How many times does the smaller coin rolled around the bigger coin.
Correct
Solution (c)
Perimeter of bigger coin : Perimeter of smaller coin
=2π(4) : 2π(1)
= 4:1
Incorrect
Solution (c)
Perimeter of bigger coin : Perimeter of smaller coin
=2π(4) : 2π(1)
= 4:1

Question 28 of 30
28. Question
A piece of tin is in the form of a rectangle having length 18cm and width 12cm. This is used to construct a closed cube. The side of the cube is:
Correct
Solution (a)
Area of the rectangle = length * breadth = 18 * 12 = 216cm2
Rectangle is used to construct a closed cube
Surface area of cube formed = Area of given rectangle
6 * (side)2 = 216 cm2
= side = 216/6 = √36 = 6 cm.
Incorrect
Solution (a)
Area of the rectangle = length * breadth = 18 * 12 = 216cm2
Rectangle is used to construct a closed cube
Surface area of cube formed = Area of given rectangle
6 * (side)2 = 216 cm2

Question 29 of 30
29. Question
Which one of the following has a greater perimeter than the rest?
Correct
Solution (d)
- Side of the square = √36 = 6 cm
Perimeter of the square = 4(6) = 24 cm
- Perimeter of the triangle = 9 + 9 + 9 = 27 cm
- Area of the rectangle = 50
l*b = 50
10*b=50
b=5 cm
Perimeter = 2(l+b) = 2(10+5) = 30 cm
- Perimeter of the circle = 2πr = 2π(5) = 31.42 cm
Incorrect
Solution (d)
- Side of the square = √36 = 6 cm
Perimeter of the square = 4(6) = 24 cm
- Perimeter of the triangle = 9 + 9 + 9 = 27 cm
- Area of the rectangle = 50
l*b = 50
10*b=50
b=5 cm
Perimeter = 2(l+b) = 2(10+5) = 30 cm
- Perimeter of the circle = 2πr = 2π(5) = 31.42 cm

Question 30 of 30
30. Question
Read the following passage and answer the items that follow. Your answer to these items should be based on the passages only
Modern history abounds with violence fuelled by apocalyptic myths, not always explicitly religious in nature. The aim of the Jacobin terror in revolutionary France was the creation of a modern state. If the violent suppression of the peasant revolt in the Vendée is included, the casualties ran into the hundreds of thousands. The myths that possessed these anarchists in their campaigns of assassination were secular myths of social transformation. Lenin avowedly followed the Jacobin example when he used the Cheka to create a modern state in Russia. One of the factors that distinguished Nazism and fascism from conventional tyrannies was the belief that a new society could be fashioned by the systematic use of terror. Violent jihadism has more in common with these modern totalitarian movements than is commonly supposed.
Q.30) Which of the following is the most logical inference that can be drawn from the passage?
Correct
Solution (b)
The paragraph we have argues that violent jihadism has a lot in common with the totalitarian movements in history which were powered by the promise of social transformation. But the paragraph does not say that violent jihadism is not based on the idea of religious apocalypse.
Option b, clearly, is the main idea of the paragraph. Many totalitarian movements in modern history have been fuelled by the myth of social transformation. Violent jihadism also draws on this idea. Option b summarizes the paragraph well.
Option c categorically rules out the idea that violence is fuelled by religion. It claims that it is only unleashed on the premise of the creation of a modern state. This is not what the paragraph given states. It states that violence is fuelled by apocalyptic myths which are “not always explicitly religious.
Option d says that societies cannot be transformed by the systematic use of terror and that modern history confirms this. Clearly, this is not what the paragraph conveys and so this is not the right option to sum up the paragraph.
