DECE JOB ENTRANCE,RRB GROUPD & NTPC FULL MOCK-02

The logic follows here is:

Given word:

CORPORATION

The given word can be represented as shown below:

In the forward direction → “PR”, “RT” and “PT”

In the backward direction → “NO” and “OP”.

Thus there are 5 pairs of a letter in the word ‘CORPORATION’ each of which has as many letters between them in word as they have between them in the English alphabetical series.

Hence, the correct answer is “5”.

The correct answer is 1982.

Key Points

Given series:

F $ 5 A % & D 4 G @ C 3 X * T 1 9

Condition to be checked:

1. Alphabets which is immediately preceded by a prime number.

2. Alphabets which is immediately followed by a symbol.

Prime number → Alphabet → Symbol

F $ 5 A % & D 4 G @ C 3 X * T 1 9

The correct answer is Styles.

Key Points

• Styles are a feature of word processing software that allow you to format text with a consistent look and feel.
• In Microsoft Word, there are many different styles available, including heading styles, body text styles, and table styles.
• When you create a table of contents in Microsoft Word, the software uses the heading styles in your document to create the table.
• The heading styles tell the software what level of heading each section is, and the software then creates the table of contents accordingly.
• For example, if you use the Heading 1 style for the main sections of your document, and the Heading 2 style for the subsections, then the table of contents will show the main sections at the top level, and the subsections indented below them.

The correct answer is i – b, ii – a, iii – c

Key Points

Lithification:

• It refers to the process by which loose and under-consolidated sediment particles transform into hard and solid rocks.
• This process includes a number of geological processes, such as consolidation, deep bury, cementation, recrystallization, and dehydration.

Igneous Rocks:

• As igneous rocks form out of magma and lava from the interior of the earth, they are known as primary rocks.
• The igneous rocks (Ignis – in Latin means ‘Fire’) are formed when magma cools and solidifies.
• When magma in its upward movement cools and turns into a solid form it is called igneous rock.
• The process of cooling and solidification can happen in the earth’s crust or on the surface of the earth.
• Igneous rocks are classified based on texture which depends upon the size and arrangement of grains or other physical conditions of the materials.
• Granite, gabbro, pegmatite, basalt, volcanic breccia, and tuff are some examples of igneous rocks.

Sedimentary Rocks

• The word ‘sedimentary’ is derived from the Latin word sediment, which means settling.
• Rocks (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic) of the earth’s surface are exposed to denudational agents and are broken up into various sizes of fragments.
• Such fragments are transported by different exogenous agencies and deposited.
• These deposits through compaction turn into rocks.
• In many sedimentary rocks, the layers of deposits retain their characteristics even after lithification.
• Hence, we see a number of layers of varying thickness in sedimentary rocks like sandstone, shale, geyserite, chalk, limestone, coal etc.

Metamorphic Rocks

• Metamorphic means ‘change of form’.
• These rocks form under the action of pressure, volume, and temperature (PVT) change.
• Metamorphism occurs when rocks are forced down to lower levels by tectonic processes or when molten magma rising through the crust comes in contact with the crustal rocks or the underlying rocks are subjected to great amounts of pressure by overlying rocks.
• Metamorphic rocks are formed due to the proximity of sedimentary rocks with molten magma.
• Mechanical disruption and reorganization of the original minerals within rocks due to breaking and crushing without any appreciable chemical changes are called dynamic metamorphism.
• Examples- Marble, Quartzite, Schist, etc.

Additional Information

Foliation:

• In the process of metamorphism in some rocks grains or minerals get arranged in layers or lines.
• Such an arrangement of minerals or grains in metamorphic rocks is called foliation or lineation.

Given:

Prime numbers between 40 and 80.

Formula used:

Average = The sum of values ÷ The count of values

Calculations:

The primes between 40 and 80 are: 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, and 79.

The sum of these primes =  41 + 43 + 47 + 53 + 59 + 61 + 67 + 71 + 73 + 79 = 594

The count of these primes = 10.

The average = 594/10 = 59.4.

∴ The average of the prime numbers between 40 and 80 is 59.4.

Given:

Time taken by A and B = 6 days

Time taken by A = 10 days

Formula used:

Total work = Time taken × Efficiency

Calculation:

L.C.M of (6 and 10) = 30 = Total work

Efficiency of A and B = 30/6 = 5 units/day

Efficiency of B = 30/10 = 3 units/day

Efficiency of B = (5 – 3) units/day

⇒ 2 units/day

Time taken by B = 30/2 days

⇒ 15 days

∴ B will complete the work in 15 days

Given

Total surface area of cube = 1944 cm²

Formula used

Total surface area of cube = 6(side)²

Volume of cube = (side)³

Calculation

Let side of a cube is a cm.

6a² = 1944

⇒ a² = 1944/6

⇒ a² = 324

⇒ a = 18 cm

Volume of a cube = (18)³

⇒ 18 × 18 × 18

⇒ 5832 cm²

∴ The volume of a cube is 5832 cm²

Here, we use the table given below:

Logic: Code = [(Addition of all letter’s position value) × (Number of letters)]

‘BARBIE’ is written as ‘222’ →

‘ELSA’ is written as ‘148’ →

Similarly, ‘ARIEL’ will be written as:

Here, the code for ‘ARIEL’ is ‘225’.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option (2)”.
