Qus : 9 MAH CET MCA PYQ

Slow response time in computer systems has been found to reduce job satisfaction and increase stress and mental strain. On the other hand, very fast interaction to an uncomfortable level where users feel they must always respond to the system promptly. The optimum response time will depend on the task. Variability in systems response time and system crashes may also cause stress in users. It was reported in one of the studies that the workers in an insurance company worked very quickly in the morning to try and complete as much work as possible, in case the system failed in the afternoon. In addition, when response times were usually long, workers experienced anxiety and uncertainty as they could not be sure if the long response times were due to high load on the system, or whether the system had failed.

Inference: Most system failures had occurred in the afternoon in the insurance company.

Below is given a passage followed by the inference which can be drawn from the facts stated in the passage. You have to examine the inference in the context of the passage and decide upon its degree of truth or falsity.

Passage: As in case of absolute number of illiterates, the actual numberof illiterate females is also increasing with time and faster than the number of male illiterates. More so in the backward states, in the rural areas, and among scheduled castes andscheduled tribes. The correlation between female illiteracy and infant mortality is equally clear. It is found that mortality was highest in the case of illiterate mothers both in urban and rural areas but much higher in the latter.

Inference: The illiteracy rate is higher among females as compared to that of males.

If a bird starts flying from Train A towards Train B at $120\ \text{km/h}$ and immediately turns back upon reaching Train B, continuing this until the trains meet, what total distance does the bird cover?

Solution

Time for trains to meet $= \dfrac{300}{60+90} = 2\ \text{h}$. Bird flies the whole time at $120\ \text{km/h}$, so distance $= 120 \times 2 = 240\ \text{km}$.

Each letter is shifted $+2$ positions in the alphabet: $S!\to!U,\ T!\to!V,\ O\to!Q,\ N!\to!P,\ E!\to!G$. So “STONE” $\to$ “UVQPG”.

Solution

Code $=100\times(\text{sum of letter positions})$. $\text{BOOK}: (2+15+15+11)\times100=4300$, $\text{MATE}: (13+1+20+5)\times100=3900$. So $1600\Rightarrow$ sum $=16$. Among options, $\text{CAGE}: 3+1+7+5=16$.

Solution

Modes left after car/boat/airplane/train are bus for $A$. Since bus doesn’t go to Delhi or Chennai, $A\to$ Varanasi. Remaining cities for $D$ and $E$ are Delhi and Chennai; but the Delhi traveler didn’t use boat, so $D$ (boat) cannot be Delhi. Hence $E$ traveled to Delhi.

Solution

From $s2$, “some salaries are perks” $\Rightarrow$ “some perks are salaries,” so $c2$ follows. $c1$ does not follow: incomes $\subseteq$ salaries ($s1$), but we have no information linking incomes to tangible items; $s2$ and $s3$ could refer to different elements.

Read the given information properly and answer the question given below:

In an organization for the selection of marketing manager, the following conditions are there.

(1) As of 1/12/2025, the age of the candidate must be at least 25 years and not more than 35 years.

(2) The candidate must graduate at a minimum in any discipline with 55% marks.

(3) The candidate must have secured at least 60% marks in a PG degree/diploma with marketing specialization.

(4) The candidate must have 5 years experience as an assistant marketing manager after education.

If the candidate fulfills all the above conditions except,

(a) (2) as above, but if he has got minimum 50% in graduation and minimum 65% in PG degree/diploma with marketing specialization, his case must be sent to a marketing head.

(b) (1) as above, but if his age is not more than 40 years, and he has experience of 8 years as assistant marketing manager, then his case should be sent to the managing director.

In the following question, details of one candidate are given. You have to select the answer based on the information provided and the conditions given above. You are not to assume anything other than the information provided in the following question.

Mr. Mihir Sharma was born on 24th July 1994. He got 60% on a PG diploma (Marketing). After his PG diploma, he is working as assistant marketing manager in an organization. He got 54% at graduation.

Solution

$1)$ Age on $1/12/2025$ is $31$ (within $25\text{–}35$) → (1) satisfied.

$2)$ Graduation $54%<55%$ → (2) fails.

$3)$ PG $60%$ → (3) satisfied.

Exception (a) needs PG $\ge 65%$ (not met), and (b) doesn’t apply (age not $>35$). Hence failure of (2) without any valid exception ⇒ reject.

The figure is a $2 \times 4$ grid of small parallelograms. To find the total number of parallelograms, we can choose any two of the $2 + 1 = 3$ slanted "rows" and any two of the $4 + 1 = 5$ slanted "columns". So, the total number is: $ \displaystyle \binom{3}{2} \times \binom{5}{2} = 3 \times 10 = 30 $
