Directions for Questions 11-15:
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the
passage.

Microprocessor is an electronic computer Central Processing Unit (CPU) made from miniaturized
transistors and other circuit elements on a single semiconductor Integrated Circuit (IC). Before the
advent of microprocessors, electronic CPUs were made from individual small-scale Integrated Circuits
containing the equivalent of only a few transistors. By integrating the processor onto one or a very few
large-scale Integrated Circuit packages (containing the equivalent of thousands or millions of discrete
transistors) , the cost of processor power was greatly reduced.
The evolution of microprocessors has been known to follow Moore's Law when it comes to steadily
increasing performance over the years. This law suggests that the complexity of an Integrated Circuit
with respect to minimum component cost will double in about 18 months. From humble beginnings as
the drivers for calculators, the continued increase in power has led to the dominance of microprocessors
over every other form of computer; every system
from the largest mainframes to the smallest handheld computers now uses a microprocessor at their
core. .As with many advances in technology, the microprocessor was an idea wbose time had come.
Three projects arguably delivered a complete microprocessor at about the same time: Intel's 4004,
Texas Instruments' TMS1000, and Garrett AiResearch's Central Air Data
Computer. . A computer-on- a-chip is a variation of a microprocessor,
which combines the microprocessor core (CPU), some memory, and I/O (input/output) lines, all on one
chip. The proper meaning of microcomputer is a computer using a (number of) microprocessor( s) as
its CPU(s), while the concept of the patent is somewhat more similar to a micro controller.

A) Electronic computer

B) Central Processing Unit

C) Memory disk

D) A single integrated chip circuit. Ans... c

12) Select the TRUE statement from the following.

A) 11icroprocessors and computers on a chip are variations of each other.

B) Integration of processing power on chips has made processing power cheaper.

C) Before microprocessors, CPUs were not made from individual small scale ICs.

D) A microprocessor circuit only has transistors in it. Ans... c

13) Which of the following was NOT the first to develop a microprocessor?
 A) Microsoft

B) Intel

C) Texas Instruments

D) Garret Ans... a

14) According to the passage, which of these is NOT a use of microprocessors?

A) Drivers for calculators

B) Core for large mainframes

C) Advanced mobile phones

D) Used for small handheld computers Ans... c

then they will take 60 days to complete the work. Find the original number of men.

A. 50
B. 60
C. 30
D. 40

Answer –​ D. 40
Explanation:
Let us assume initially there are X men. Then x*45 = (x-10)*60. So we get x = 40

2. ​5 men and 10 boys can do a piece of work in 30 days and 8 men and 12 boys can do
the work in 20 days then the ratio of daily work done by a man to that of a boy.

A. 5:1
B. 4:5
C. 6:1
D. 7:3

Answer –​ C. 6:1
Explanation:
Given that, 5m + 10b = 1/30 and 8m + 12b = 1/20
after solving we get m = 1/200 and b = 1/1200
so required ratio = (1/200) : (1/1200) = 6:1

5. ​Nagarjuna lends Rs 30,000 of two of his friends. He gives Rs 15,000 to the first at
6% p.a. simple interest. He wants to make a profit of 10% on the whole. The simple
interest rate at which he should lend the remaining sum of money to the second friend
is

A. 8%
B. 12%
C. 14%
D. 16%

Answer -​ C. 14%
Explanation:
Simple Interest on Rs 15000
=(15000×6×1)/100 = Rs. 900
Profit to made on Rs 30000
= 30000×10/100=Rs 3000
Simple Interest on Rs.15000 = 3000-900 = Rs.2100
Rate=(S.I.* 100)/(P * T)=(2100×100)/15000
=14% per annum
Therefore, the simple interest rate at which he should lend the remaining sum of money to
the second friend is 14%

6. ​A portion of $6600 is invested at a 5% annual return, while the remainder is invested

at a 3% annual return. If the annual income from the portion earning a 5% return is
twice that of the other portion, what is the total income from the two investments after
one year?

A. 270
B. 250
C. 280
D. 200

Answer -​ A. 270
Explanation:
According to the given data
5x + 3y = z (total)
x + y = 6600
5x= 2(3y) [ condition given] 5x – 6y = 0
x + y = 6600
5x -6y = 0
Subtract both equations and you get x = 3600 so y = 3000
3600*.05 = 180
3000*.03 = 90
z (total) = 270
Therefore, the total income from the two investments after one year = 270

3. We, at Comfort Stationers, have always been striving to provide
stationery items that would make your work more enjoyable and less
strenuous. Our latest innovations are a smooth-flow pen and gradual-
friction paper. A combination of these two reduces strain on your fingers
and allows faster writing the causes lesser fatigue. Therefore, replacement
of your pen and paper with our innovative products reduces cost of clerical
jobs.

Which of the following, if true, would weaken the conclusion drawn in the
above argument?

A. Those who are already using the above new products report greater
difficulty in transition from new products to regular ones than from the
regular ones to the new ones.

B. The cost of manufacturing these new products is not more than the cost
of manufacturing the regular ones and the new products last longer than
the regular ones.

C. The number of offices using the new products is increasing month by

month.

D. These products need to be purchased in huge lots and need to be

stored in special conditions. The cost of procurement and strong is
quite high.

Answer: Option D

Solution:

The passage talks about the advantages in writing by using the new
kind of pen and paper and arrives at a conclusion about the cost of
clerical job. We have to show that the new products do not lead to
decrease in cost of clerical job.
None of the choice (a), (c) and (e) has anything about the cost. Hence,
none of them weakens the conclusion.

Choice (b) states that the new products can be manufactured and they also
last longer. This information strengthens the conclusion.

According to choice (d) the procurement and storage costs are very high.
This casts a doubt on the conclusion that the cost of clerical job can be
decreased by using these new products. Hence, (d) weakens the
conclusion.

production capacity at its existing plants.

A. If 'A' is the effect and 'B' is its immediate and principle cause.

B. If 'B' is the effect and 'A' is its immediate and principle cause.
C. If 'A' is the effect but 'B' is not its immediate and principle cause.

D. If 'B' is the effect but 'A' is not its immediate and principle cause.

Answer: Option C

Solution:

Events (A) and (B) are related events and chronologically (B) occurs before
(A) and because of as they are planning to increase capacity, they have to
make a plan to sell their products also so they open new offices for
marketing those products.
But opening an office in a particular city, requires other events such as
market survey etc. It is not the immediate and principle cause.

10. Statement:

Cutting down of forests is a threat to the wild life. Most of the species of
animals are on the verge of extinction.
Courses of Action:

I. The species of animals, which are on the verge of extinction, must be

protected by creating wild life sanctuaries which contain flora that defines
the native habitat of the endangered animals.

II. To the maximum extent possible we should stop deforestation.

III. Growing urban forests to compensate for deforestation.

A. Only II follows

B. Only III follows

C. Only I and II follow

D. Only I and
follows Answer:
Option C
Solution:

Here the problem is extinction of various species of animals, so providing

them their native habitat is the proper solution for the problem.

II is a proper course of action, as stopping deforestation can solve the

problem to some extent.

III is not a proper course of action as urban forest cannot be the habitat
for the wild animals.

From the first two statements, we know that of the three classes, Class A
has the highest enrollment, so the third statement must be false.

3. We, at Comfort Stationers, have always been striving to provide
stationery items that would make your work more enjoyable and less
strenuous. Our latestinnovations are a smooth-flow pen and gradual-
friction paper. A combination of these two reduces strain on your fingers
and allows faster writing the causes lesser fatigue. Therefore,
replacement of your pen and paper with ourinnovativeproducts reduces
cost of clerical jobs.

Which of the following, if true, would weaken the conclusion drawn in the
aboveargument?

A. Those who are already using the above new products report greater
difficulty in transition from new products to regular ones than from the
regular ones tothenew ones.

B. The cost of manufacturing these new products is not more than the cost
of manufacturing the regular ones and the new products last longer than
the regularones.

C. The number of offices using the new products is increasing month by

month.

D. These products need to be purchased in huge lots and need to be

storedinspecial conditions. The cost of procurement and strong is quite
high.

Answer: Option D

Solution:
The passage talks about the advantages in writing by using the new
kind ofpen and paper and arrives at a conclusion about the cost of
clerical job. We have to show that the new products do not lead to
decrease in cost of clerical job.
None of the choice (a), (c) and (e) has anything about the cost. Hence, none
ofthem weakens the conclusion.

Choice (b) states that the new products can be manufactured and they also
lastlonger. This information strengthens the conclusion.

According to choice (d) the procurement and storage costs are very high.

Direction (Q6 to Q8): Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
The savory smell. The crunchy bite. The salty kick. The buttery finish. Americans will recognize the
smell and flavor of their favorite moviegoing snack anywhere. Why is it that we feast our taste
buds on these crisp kernels while our eyes feast on the big screen?
A few converging aspects made popcorn the quintessential movie snack, according to Andrew F.
Smith, author of Popped Culture: A Social History of Popcorn in America. Mostly, it boiled down to
the snack’s price, convenience, and timing. Popcorn was cheap for sellers and for customers, and
making it didn’t require a ton of equipment. Popcorn also became popular at a time when movie
theatres were in desperate need of an economic boost, which is how popcorn got introduced to the
silver screen.
Fun fact: popcorn does not refer to the popped kernel alone. It’s also the name for the specific type
of corn that is used to make the snack. It was originally grown in Central America and became
popular in the U.S. in the mid-1800s. Compared with other snacks at the time, it was super easy to
make, and it got easier in 1885 when the mobile steam-powered popcorn maker was invented.
What hit the streets in the late 19th century was a fleet of independent popcorn purveyors. They
were like the great-great-grandfathers of food trucks.

The function accepts an integer array ‘arr’ and its length ‘n’. Implement the function to find and return the
number of superior elements in array ‘arr’.

Assumptions:
1. N > 0.
2. Array index starts from 0.

Example:
Input Output Explanation
9 is greater than all the elements
to its right, 8 is greater than
Arr: 7 9 5 2 8 7 3 element to its right and 7 is the
rightmost element. Hence total 3
superior elements.

The Custom input format for the above case:

Direction for questions 14 to 16: Read the following passage and answer the given question.
Paris was the undisputed capital of women's fashion from the 17th century until well into the 20th.
Among 18th-century dress styles, the most typically French was the sack dress, also known as the
robe àala française, which usually took the form of an open robe, with a joined bodice and skint that
opened in front to reveal an underskirt or petticoat. Fashion in the 18th century was highly
decorative and luxurious for both men and women. Fashionable Display was controversial,
however, and moralists were scandalized by Bernard Mandeville's Fable of the Bess(1724), which
argued that private vices might be public virtues. Taking an economic approach, Mandeville pointed

Page 7 | 45
 out that lavish spending on dress "trickled down” to employ numerous skilled artisans, such as
tailors and embroiderers.

14. One of the claims made by Mandeville was that

A. Paris was the world’s fashion capital from 17th to 18th century
B. The sack dress was the most popular dress in France in the 18th century
C. Women’s fashion was more luxurious than men’s fashion
D. Lavish spending on dress ultimately benefited many skilled artisans
Answer: D

15. Why did Mandeville say ‘private vices might be public virtues?
A. To shame people into giving up their vices

1. Edward’s Birthday

Problem statement
It is Edward's birthday today. His friends have bought him a huge circular cake.
Edward wants to find out the maximum number of pieces he can get by making exactly N straight vertical
cuts on the cake.
Your task is to write a function that returns the maximum number of pieces that can be obtained by making
N number of cuts.

Note: Since the answer can be quite large, modulo it by 1000000007

Input Specification:
input1: An integer N denoting the number of cuts

Output Specification:
Return the maximum number of pieces that can be obtained by making N cuts on the cake
Example:
Input Output Explanation
Given the above scenario, if we
make 1 cut on the cake, the
maximum number of pieces of
1 2
cake we obtain is 2 and
2%1000000007=2. Hence, 2 is
returned as output.
Given the above scenario, if we
make 5 cuts on the cake, the
maximum number of pieces of
5 16
cake we obtain is 16 and 16%
1000000007=16. Hence, 16 is
returned as output.

2. Regions on a Plane

Problem statement
Mr. Professor is a great scientist, but he is not able to find a solution to one problem. There are N straight
lines that are not parallel, and no three lines go through the same point. The lines divide the plane into M
regions. Write a function to find out the maximum number of such regions he can get on the plane.

Input Specification:
input1: An integer N representing the number of straight lines (0 <=N<= 100)

Output Specification:

Page 43 | 45
Return the maximum number of regions

Example:
Input Output Explanation
Given the above scenario, 2 lines
divide the plane into 4 regions.
2 4
Therefore, 4 is returned as the
output.
Given the above scenario, 3 lines
divide the plane into 7 regions.
3 7
Therefore, 7 is returned as the
output.

Code Solution in Python

class Solution:
def maxRegions(self, n):
num = n * (n + 1) // 2 + 1
return num

if __name__ == '__main__':
n = int(input())
ob = Solution()

1. Find out which underlined part of the sentence below has an error and mark the option accordingly.
Butterflies are considered as the main agent of transferring pollen grains. Sometimes, this gives rise
to different species of flowers, a true fascination unknown to the science world.
A. Sometimes, this gives rise to different
B. Considered as the main
C. Of transferring
D. Unknown to the science world
Answer: B

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
Dogs, often hailed as humans’ best friends, have been the topic of many scientific studies looking
into how they might boost our well-being. It is likely that humans and dogs have shared a special
bond of friendship and mutual support ever since at least the Neolithic period — but why has this
bond been so long-lasting?
A recent study showed that owning a dog reduces a person’s risk of premature death by up to a
third. Also, researchers at the University of Harvard in Cambridge, MA, suggest that dog owners
have a lower risk of heart disease.Dogs can strengthen our health not just as we grow older, but also
much, much earlier than that: before we are even born. Research published last year suggests that
children who were exposed to dogs while still in the womb — as their mothers spent time around
dogs during pregnancy — had a lower risk of developing eczema in early childhood. When we
interact with dogs, our oxytocin levels shoot up. Since this is the hormone largely responsible for
social bonding, this hormonal “love injection” boosts our psychological well-being.
Previous studies analyzed in the review have revealed that dog owners have more positive social
interactions, and that the presence of canine friends makes people more trusting.
Moreover, dogs appear to reduce symptoms of depression and render people more resilient to stress.
That is why dogs are often used as therapy animals.

1. Sum of odd integers in array

Problem statement
An odd number is an integer which is not a multiple of 2.
You are required to implement the following function:
Int SumOddIntegers(int arr[], int n);
The function accepts an integer array ‘arr’ of length ‘n’ as its argument. You are required to
calculate the sum of all odd integers in an array ‘an’ and return the same.
Note:
Array can have negative integers
n>0
Computed values lie within integer range
Example:
Input:
arr: 1 4 6 7 10 12 11 5
n: 8
Output:
24
Explanation:
The odd integers in array {1, 4, 6, 7, 10, 12, 11, 5} are {1, 7,11, 5} and their sum is 24, hence 24 is
returned.
The custom input format for the above case:
8
1 4 6 7 10 12 11 5
(The first line represents ‘n’ the second line represents the elements of the array)
Sample Input
arr: 2 4 9 7 11 13 25 31 6 8 10 24
n: 12
Sample Output
96
The custom input format for the above case:
12
2 4 9 7 11 13 25 31 6 8 10 24
(The first line represents ‘n’, the second line represents the elements of the array)

2. Inversion count in array
Problem statement
Let j and k be two indices in an array A.
If j < K and A[j] > A[k], then the pair (j,k) is known as an “Inversion pair”.
You are required to implement the following function:
int InversionCount(int *A, int n);
The function accepts an array ‘A’ of ‘n’ unique integers as its argument. You are required to
calculate the number of ‘Inversion pair’ in an array A, and return.
Note:
If ‘A’ is NULL (None in case of python), return -1
If ‘n’ <2, return 0
Example:
Input:
A: 1 20 6 4 5
n: 5
Output:
5
Explanation:
The inversion pair in array A are (20,6),(20,4),(20,5),(6,4) and (6,5), the count of the inversions are
5, hence 5 is returned.
The custom input format for the above case:
5
1 20 6 4 5
(The first line represents the size of the array, the second line represents the elements of the array)
Sample Input
A: 13 10 9 6 21 15 14
n: 7
Sample Output

A. Sometimes, this gives rise to different

B. Considered as the main
C. Of transferring
D. Unknown to the science world

Answer: B

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.

Dogs, often hailed as humans’ best friends, have been the topic of many scientific studies
looking into how they might boost our well-being. It is likely that humans and dogs have shared
a special bond of friendship and mutual support ever since at least the Neolithic period — but
why has this bond been so long-lasting?
A recent study showed that owning a dog reduces a person’s risk of premature death by up to a
third. Also, researchers at the University of Harvard in Cambridge, MA, suggest that dog owners
have a lower risk of heart disease.Dogs can strengthen our health not just as we grow older, but
also much, much earlier than that: before we are even born. Research published last year
suggests that children who were exposed to dogs while still in the womb — as their mothers
spent time around dogs during pregnancy — had a lower risk of developing eczema in early
childhood. When we interact with dogs, our oxytocin levels shoot up. Since this is the hormone
largely responsible for social bonding, this hormonal “love injection” boosts our psychological
well-being. Previous studies analyzed in the review have revealed that dog owners have more
positive social interactions, and that the presence of canine friends makes people more trusting.
Moreover, dogs appear to reduce symptoms of depression and render people more resilient to
stress. That is why dogs are often used as therapy animals.

1. Sum of odd integers in array

Problem statement
An odd number is an integer which is not a multiple of 2.
You are required to implement the following function:
Int SumOddIntegers(int arr[], int n);
The function accepts an integer array ‘arr’ of length ‘n’ as its argument. You are required to
calculate the sum of all odd integers in an array ‘an’ and return the same.
Note: https://www.freshersnow.com/placement-papers-download/
Array can have negative integers
n>0
Computed values lie within integer range
Example:
Input:
arr: 1 4 6 7 10 12 11 5
n: 8
Output:
24
Explanation:
The odd integers in array {1, 4, 6, 7, 10, 12, 11, 5} are {1, 7,11, 5} and their sum is 24, hence 24
is
returned.
The custom input format for the above case:
8
1 4 6 7 10 12 11 5
(The first line represents ‘n’ the second line represents the elements of the array)

items that would make your work more enjoyable and less strenuous. Our latest
innovations are a smooth-flow pen and gradual-friction paper. A combination of
these two reduces strain on your fingers and allows faster writing the causes
lesser fatigue. Therefore, replacement of your pen and paper with our innovative
products reduces cost of clerical jobs.

Which of the following, if true, would weaken the conclusion drawn in the above
argument?

A. Those who are already using the above new products report greater difficulty
in transition from new products to regular ones than from the regular ones to the
new ones.

special conditions. The cost of procurement and strong is quite high.

w

Answer: Option D

Solution:

The passage talks about the advantages in writing by using the new kind of pen
and paper and arrives at a conclusion about the cost of clerical job. We have to
show that the new products do not lead to decrease in cost of clerical job.
None of the choice (a), (c) and (e) has anything about the cost. Hence, none of
them weakens the conclusion.

Choice (b) states that the new products can be manufactured and they also last
longer. This information strengthens the conclusion.

According to choice (d) the procurement and storage costs are very high. This
casts a doubt on the conclusion that the cost of clerical job can be decreased by
using these new products. Hence, (d) weakens the conclusion.
