If BAD is coded as YZW and Fight is coded as URTSG, then high will be coded as (a) PRSP (b) TRST (c) HSTR (d) SRTS

Similar questions: If BAD is coded as YIW and (2072)

Answer

(d) SRTS

The code uses the Atbash rule: each letter is replaced by its opposite in the alphabet ( $A \leftrightarrow Z$ , $B \leftrightarrow Y$ , etc.).
So HIGH → H→S, I→R, G→T, H→S = SRTS.

If BAD is coded as YIW and FIGHT is coded as URTSG, then HIGH will coded as (a) PRSP (b) TRST (c) RSTR (d) SRTS

Similar questions: If BAD is coded as YZW and (2074)

Answer

(d) SRTS

The coding is Atbash: each letter is replaced by its opposite in the alphabet (A↔Z, B↔Y, C↔X, …).
FIGHT → URTSG confirms this.
So HIGH → H→S, I→R, G→T, H→S = SRTS.
(The given BAD → YIW appears misprinted; under this rule BAD would be YZW.)

If 'x' means 'minus', '÷' means 'divided by means 'plus' and '+' means 'multiply by' then which of the following will be the value of the expression $25 - 9 + 5 \div 4 \times 2$ ?
(a) 45
(b) 168
(c) 192
(d) 200

Answer

The question's symbol rules are garbled, so none of the listed options can be reached by a faithful reading. Taking the rules as: $\times$ means minus, $\div$ means plus, and $+$ means multiply (the sign $-$ is unchanged), the expression $25 - 9 + 5 \div 4 \times 2$ becomes

$25 - 9 \times 5 + 4 - 2$

By BODMAS, multiplication comes first:

$25 - 45 + 4 - 2 = -18$

This value is not among (a) 45, (b) 168, (c) 192 or (d) 200, so the question as printed has no correct option. It is most likely a misprint of the symbol rules, and the original key cannot be recovered from the text given.

$20 F 1 = 20 - 1 = 19$
$19 D 1 = 19 + 1 = 20$

A group consisting of 25 teachers, 20 engineers, 18 doctors and 12 salesmen visited a fair and spent Rs 1330 altogether. It was found that 5 teachers spent as much as 4 engineers, 12 engineers spent as much as 9 doctors and 6 doctors spent as much as 8 salesmen. If every person in a professional group spent the same amount, find the amount spent by each engineer.
(a) Rs 14
(b) Rs 17.50
(c) Rs 18
(d) Rs 21

Answer

(b) Rs 17.50

Let the amounts spent by each teacher, engineer, doctor and salesman be $T, E, D, S$ respectively.

Given: $5T = 4E \Rightarrow T=\frac{4E}{5}$ $12E = 9D \Rightarrow D=\frac{4E}{3}$ $6D = 8S \Rightarrow S=\frac{3D}{4}=E$

Total spent: $25T+20E+18D+12S=1330$

Substitute: $25\left(\frac{4E}{5}\right)+20E+18\left(\frac{4E}{3}\right)+12E=1330$ $20E+20E+24E+12E=1330$ $76E=1330$ $E=\frac{1330}{76}=17.50$

So, each engineer spent Rs 17.50.

A, B, C and D play a game of cards. A says to B, 'If I give you 8 cards, you will have as many as C has and I shall have 3 less than what C has. Also, if I take 6 cards from C, I shall have twice as many as D has. If B and D together have 50 cards, how many cards has A got?
(a) 40
(b) 37
(c) 27
(d) 23

Answer

(a) 40

Let A, B, C and D have $a,b,c,d$ cards respectively.

From the first condition: $b+8=c \quad \text{and} \quad a-8=c-3$ So, $a=c+5 \Rightarrow c=a-5$ $b=c-8=(a-5)-8=a-13$

From the second condition: $a+6=2d \Rightarrow d=\frac{a+6}{2}$

Given: $b+d=50$ $(a-13)+\frac{a+6}{2}=50$ $2a-26+a+6=100$ $3a=120$ $a=40$

So A has 40 cards.

The age of a father is twice that of the elder son. Ten years hence the age of the father will be three times that of the younger son. If the difference of ages of the two sons is 15 years, the age of the father is
(a) 70 years
(b) 60 years
(c) 55 years
(d) 50 years

Answer

(d) 50 years

Let the father's age be $F$ , the elder son's age $E$ , and the younger son's age $Y$ .

Given:

$F = 2E$
$F + 10 = 3(Y + 10)$
$E - Y = 15$ , so $E = Y + 15$

Substitute $E$ into the first equation: $F = 2(Y + 15) = 2Y + 30$

Now use the second condition: $2Y + 30 + 10 = 3Y + 30$ $2Y + 40 = 3Y + 30$ $Y = 10$

So $E = 10 + 15 = 25$ and $F = 2 \times 25 = 50$ .

The father is 50 years old.

In a group of persons travelling in a bus, 6 persons can speak French, 15 can speak Spanish and 6 can speak English. In that group, none can speak any other language. If 2 persons in the group can speak two languages and one person can speak all the three languages, then how many persons are there in the group?
(a) 21
(b) 22
(c) 23
(d) 24

Answer

(c) 23

Let $F$ , $S$ , $E$ be the sets of French, Spanish and English speakers, so $|F|+|S|+|E| = 6+15+6 = 27$ .

Of these, 2 persons speak exactly two languages (each counted twice) and 1 person speaks all three (counted three times). The 27 therefore counts the 2 persons twice and the 1 person three times, so the number of distinct persons is

$27 - 2(1) - 1(2) = 23$

Hence there are 23 persons in the group.

The angle of elevation of top of a tower from a point on the ground is found to be $45^\circ$ . By going 50 meters further away from the tower, it is found to be $30^\circ$ . In such situation the height of the tower is
(a) 78.2 meters
(b) 83.1 meters
(c) 88.3 meters
(d) None of these

Answer

(d) None of these

Let the height of the tower be $h$ and the initial distance from the tower be $x$ .

From the first point: $\tan 45^\circ=\frac{h}{x}=1 \Rightarrow h=x$

From the second point, 50 m farther away: $\tan 30^\circ=\frac{h}{x+50}=\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$

Substitute $h=x$ : $\frac{x}{x+50}=\frac{1}{\sqrt3}$ $\sqrt3x=x+50$ $x(\sqrt3-1)=50$ $x=\frac{50}{\sqrt3-1}=25(\sqrt3+1)\approx 68.3\text{ m}$

So the height of the tower is approximately 68.3 m, which is not given in the options. Hence, (d) None of these.

Next row: [ 26,\ 50,\ 82 ] Differences: [ 50-26=24,\quad 82-50=32 ] Again increase by (8).

So in the last row: [ 50,\ 82,\ ? ] Difference should be: [ 82-50=32,\quad \text{next difference}=32+8=40 ] Hence: [ ?=82+40=122 ]

So the correct alternative is (b) 122.

Journalist: To reconcile the need for profits sufficient to support new drug research with the moral imperative to provide medicines to those who most need them but cannot afford them, some pharmaceutical companies feel justified in selling a drug in rich nations at one price and in poor nations at a much lower price. But this practice is unjustified. A nation with a low average income may still have a substantial middle class better able to pay for new drugs than are many of the poorer citizens of an overall wealthier nation. Which one of the following principles, if valid, most helps to justify the journalist's reasoning? (a) People who are ill deserve more consideration than do healthy people, regardless of their relative socioeconomic positions. (b) Wealthy institutions have an obligation to expend at least some of their resources to assist those incapable of assisting themselves. (c) Whether one deserves special consideration depends on one's needs rather than on characteristics of the society to which one belongs. (d) The people in wealthy nations should not have better access to health-care than do the people in poorer nations. (e) Unequal access to health care is more unfair than an unequal distribution of wealth.

Answer

(c) Whether one deserves special consideration depends on one's needs rather than on characteristics of the society to which one belongs.

The journalist objects to pricing drugs by a nation’s average income because a poor country can still contain people who can afford to pay more, while a rich country can contain people who cannot afford to pay. Thus, the relevant factor should be the individual’s need or ability to pay, not the general wealth of the nation. Principle (c) directly supports this reasoning.

Several critics have claimed that any contemporary poet who writes formal poetry—poetry that is rhymed and metered—is performing a politically conservative act. This is plainly false. Consider Molly Peacock and Marilyn Hacker, two contemporary poets whose poetry is almost exclusively formal and yet who are themselves politically progressive feminists. The conclusion drawn above follows logically if which one of the following is assumed? (a) No one who is a feminist is also politically conservative. (b) No poet who writes unrhymed or unmetered poetry is politically conservative. (c) Anyone who sometimes writes poetry that is not politically conservative never writes poetry that is politically conservative. (d) No one who is politically progressive is capable of performing a politically conservative act. (e) The content of a poet's work, not the work's form, is the most decisive factor in determining what political consequences, if any, the work will have.

Answer

(d) No one who is politically progressive is capable of performing a politically conservative act.

The argument uses Peacock and Hacker as counterexamples: they are politically progressive feminists who write formal poetry. For this to disprove the critics’ claim that writing formal poetry is a politically conservative act, we must assume that politically progressive people cannot perform politically conservative acts.

Situation: In the island nation of Bezun, the government taxes gasoline heavily in order to induce people not to drive. It uses the revenue from the gasoline tax to subsidize electricity in order to reduce prices charged for electricity. Analysis: The greater the success achieved in meeting the first of these objectives, the less will be the success achieved in meeting the second. The analysis provided for the situation above would be most appropriate in which one of the following situations? (a) A library charges a late fee in order to induce borrowers to return books promptly. The library uses revenue from the late fee to send reminders to tardy borrowers in order to reduce the incidence of overdue books. (b) A mail-order store imposes a stiff surcharge for overnight delivery in order to limit use of this option. The store uses revenue from the surcharge to pay the extra expenses it incurs for providing the overnight delivery service. (c) The park management charges an admission fee so that a park's users will contribute to the park's upkeep. In order to keep admission fees low, the management does not finance any new projects from them. (d) A restaurant adds a service charge in order to spare customers the trouble of individual tips. The service charge is then shared among the restaurant's workers in order to augment their low hourly wages. (e) The highway administration charges a toll for crossing a bridge in order to get motorists to use other routes. It uses the revenue from that toll to generate a reserve fund in order to be able one day to build a new bridge.

Answer

(e) The highway administration charges a toll for crossing a bridge in order to get motorists to use other routes. It uses the revenue from that toll to generate a reserve fund in order to be able one day to build a new bridge.

This matches the logic: the first objective is to discourage use of the taxed activity (crossing the bridge), and the revenue from that tax funds a separate second objective (building a new bridge). Greater success in reducing bridge crossings means less toll revenue, so less reserve for the new bridge — exactly the trade-off described.

Answer

(a) In heavily populated areas the introduction of water power would have been certain to cause social unrest by depriving large numbers of people of their livelihood.

This explains the difference: in outlying areas there was less surplus labor, so water power was useful; in large-city regions, using water power would have displaced many workers and threatened social order, so the Romans avoided it there.

Answer

(None of the above) ( \frac{840}{13} \approx 64.62 ) km/hr.

Let the speed from A to B be (x) km/hr. Then [ 3.5x = 3(x+10) ] [ 3.5x = 3x+30 \Rightarrow 0.5x=30 \Rightarrow x=60. ] So the return speed is (70) km/hr. Distance (AB=3.5\times60=210) km. Total distance (=2\times210=420) km, total time (=3.5+3=6.5) hr. Hence average speed [ \frac{420}{6.5}=\frac{840}{13}\approx64.62\text{ km/hr}. ] Thus none of the given choices is correct.

Select logically the best answer for the following questions. Empty vessels make much noise is logically similar to: a. Live and let live b. Wise people are respected c. Fools generally praise themselves d. Cowards die many times before their death

Answer

(c) Fools generally praise themselves

Make hay while the sun shines is logically similar to: a. Sleep when you are tired b. Jump when you are dancing c. Take the flood at its ride d. None of the above

"Make hay while the sun shines" means do the work while conditions are favourable, and "take the flood at its ride" means seize the tide when it is at its peak. Options (a) and (b) only state a matching action for a condition, not the idea of using a passing opportunity.
