Directions for Questions 11-15:

Readthe 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.
11) Which of the following descriptions would NOT fit a microprocessor?
A) Electronic computer
B) Central Processing Unit
C) Memory disk
D) A single integrated chip circuit.
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.
13) Which of the following was NOT the first to develop a microprocessor?
A) Microsoft
B) Intel
C) Texas Instruments
D) Garret
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
15) "A number of microprocessors at its CPU" is an apt description of a:
A) 11icro-controller
B) Micro-computer
C) Micro-processor
D) Micro-transistor

Directions for Questions 16-20:

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the
passage.

Dynamic Link Libraries

Windows provides several files called dynamic link libraries (DLLs) that contain collections of
software code that perform common functions such as opening or saving a file. When Windows
application wants to use one of those functions or routines, the app sends a message to Windows with
the names of the DLL file and the function. This procedure is known as calling a function. One of the
most frequently used DLLs is Windows COMMDLG.DLL, which includes among others, the functions
to display File Open, File Save, Search, and Print dialog boxes. The application also sends any
information the DLL function will need to complete the operation. For example, a program calling the
Open File function in COMMDLG.DLL would pass along a file spec, such as *. * or *.DOC, to be
displayed in the dialog box's Filename text box. The application also passes along a specification for
the type of information it expects the DLL to return to the application when the DLL's work is done.
The application, for example, may expect return information in the form of integers, true/false values,
or text. Windows passes the responsibility for program execution to the DLL, along with the
parameters and the return information the DLL will need. The specific DLL is loaded into memory, and
then executed by the processor. At this point the DLL, rather than the application, runs things. The DLL
performs all the operations necessary to communicate with Windows and, through Windows, with the
PC's hardware. After the DLL function is complete, the DLL puts the return information into
memory, where it can be found by the application, and instructs Windows to remove the DLL routine
from memory. The application inspects the return information, which usually tells whether the DLL
function was able to execute correctly. If the operation was a success, the application continues from
where it left off before issuing the function call. If the operation failed, the application displays an error
message.
16) By using DLLs, Windows:
A) Saves processing time
B) Multitasks
C) Shares program code
D) Communicates with PCs hardware
17) To use any routine of a DLL, Windows:
A) Searches and copies it in the application code and executes it
B) Loads the DLL file and searches and executes the routine
C) Loads just the required routine in memory and executes it
D) Searches the location of the routine and instructs the application to execute it
18) Which information does an application need to passto Windows to use a DLL routine?
A) Just the name of the routine
B) Just the name of the DLL, which finds in turn the routine to be executed in return
C) Both the name of the routine as well as DLL and any parameters
D) Name of the DLL, routine, any parameters and type of information to be returned
19) According to the passage, while the DLL routine is executing, the calling application:
A) Waits for the routine to execute
B) Continues with other tasks
C) Helps the DLL routine perform by communicating with Windows and through Windows with the
PC's hardware
D) Passes all responsibility of program execution to the DLL and is removed from memory
20) The DLL function after execution returns:
A) The parameters and information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling application
B) Information into memory, where it can be inspected by the calling application
C) To the calling application the information required by it so that it can inspect it
D) The information required into memory so that DLL can inspect whether the function operation was
a success

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.

Directions for Questions 11-16:Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on
the basis of the information provided in the passage.

The pioneers of the teaching of science imagined that its introduction into education would
remove the conventionality, artificiality, and backward-lookingness which were
characteristic;of classical studies, but they were gravely disappointed. So, too, in their time
had the humanists thought that the study of the classical authors in the original would
banish at once the dull pedantry and superstition of mediaeval scholasticism. The
professional schoolmaster was a match for both of them, and has almost managed to make
the understanding of chemical reactions as dull and as dogmatic an affair as the reading of
Virgil's Aeneid. The chief claim for the use of science in education is that it teaches a child
something about the actual universe in which he is living, in making him acquainted with the
results of scientific discovery, and at the same time teaches him how to think logically and
inductively by studying scientific method. A certain limited success has been reached in the
first of these aims, but practically none at all in the second.

Those privileged members of the community who have been through a secondary or public
school education may be expected to know something about the elementary physics and
chemistry of a hundred years ago, but they probably know hardly more than any bright boy
can pick up from an interest in wireless or scientific hobbies out of school hours. As to the
learning of scientific method, the whole thing is palpably a farce. Actually, for the
convenience of teachers and the requirements of the examination system, it is necessary
that the pupils not only do not learn scientific method but learn precisely the reverse, that is,
to believe exactly what they are told and to reproduce it when asked, whether it seems
nonsense to them or not. The way in which educated people respond to such quackeries
as spiritualism or astrology, not to say more dangerous ones such as racial theories or
currency myths,shows that fifty years of education in the method of science in Britain or
Germany has produced no visible effect whatever.

The only way of learning the method of science is the long and bitter way of personal
experience, and, until the educational or social systems are altered to make this possible,
the best we can expect is the production of a minority of people who are able to acquire
some of the techniques of science and a still smaller minority who are able to use and
develop them. 11. The author implies that the 'professional schoolmaster' has

A. no interest in teaching science

B. thwarted attempts to enliven education

A. poor teaching

Directions for Questions 17-20: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on
the basis of the information provided in the passage.

Furthermore, insofar as any conclusion about its author can be drawn from five or six plays
attributed to him, the Wakefield Master is without exception considered to be a man of
sharp contemporary observation. He was, probably clerically educated, as indicated by his
Latin and music, his Biblical and patristic lore. Even today he is remembered for his his
quick sympathy for the oppressed and forgotten man, his sharp eye for character, a ready
ear for colloquial, vernacular turns of speech and a humor alternately rude and boisterous,
coarse and happy. Therefore in spite of his conscious artistry as can be seen in his feeling
for intricate metrical and stanza forms, he is regarded as a kind of medieval Steinbeck,
indignantly angry at, uncompromisingly and even brutally realistic in presenting the plight of
the agricultural poor.It is now fairly accepted to regard the play as a kind of ultimate point in
the secularization of the medieval drama. Therefore more stress has been laid on it as
depicting realistically humble manners and pastoral life in the bleak of the west riding of
Yorkshire on a typically cold night of December 24th. After what are often regarded as
almost "documentaries" given in the three successive monologues of the three shepherds,
critics go on to affirm that the realism is then intensified into a burlesque mock-treatment of
the Nativity. Finally as a sort of epilogue or after-thought in deference to the Biblical origins
of the materials, the play slides back into an atavistic mood of early innocent reverence. In
actuality, the final scene is the culminating scene and also the raison d'etre of the
introductory "realism."Superficially the present play supports the conventional view of its
mood of secular realism. At the same time, the "realism" of the Wakefield Master is of a
paradoxical turn. His wide knowledge of people, as well as books indicates no cloistered
contemplative but one in close relation to his times. Still, that life was after all a
predominantly religious one, a time which never neglected the belief that man was a
rebellious and sinful creature in need of redemption . So deeply (one can hardly say
"naively" of so sophisticated a writer) and implicitly religious is the Master that he is less
able (or less willing) to present actual history realistically than is the author of the Brome
Abraham and Isaac. His historical sense is even less realistic than that of Chaucer who just
a few years before had done for his own time "costume romances," such as The Knight's
Tele, Troilus and Cressida, etc. Furthermore, used highly romantic materials, which could
excuse his taking liberties with history.

17. Of the following statements, which is not true of Wakefield Master?

Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.
The pioneers of the teaching of science imagined that its introduction into education would remove the conventionality, artificiality,
and backward-lookingness which were characteristic;of classical studies, but they were gravely disappointed. So, too, in their time
had the humanists thought that the study of the classical authors in the original would banish at once the dull pedantry and
superstition of mediaeval scholasticism. The professional schoolmaster was a match for both of them, and has almost managed to
make the understanding of chemical reactions as dull and as dogmatic an affair as the reading of Virgil's Aeneid. The chief claim for
the use of science in education is that it teaches a child something about the actual universe in which he is living, in making him
acquainted with the results of scientific discovery, and at the same time teaches him how to think logically and inductively by
studying scientific method. A certain limited success has been reached in the first of these aims, but practically none at all in the
second. Those privileged members of the community who have been through a secondary or public school education may be

1|Page
expected to know something about the elementary physics and chemistry of a hundred years ago, but they probably know hardly
more than any bright boy can pick up from an interest in wireless or scientific hobbies out of school hours. As to the learning of
scientific method, the whole thing is palpably a farce. Actually, for the convenience of teachers and the requirements of the
examination system, it is necessary that the pupils not only do not learn scientific method but learn precisely the reverse, that is,
to believe exactly what they are told and to reproduce it when asked, whether it seems nonsense to them or not. The way in which
educated people respond to such quackeries as spiritualism or astrology, not to say more dangerous ones such as racial theories or
currency myths, shows that fifty years of education in the method of science in Britain or Germany has produced no visible effect
whatever. The only way of learning the method of science is the long and bitter way of personal experience, and, until the
educational or social systems are altered to make this possible, the best we can expect is the production of a minority of people
who are able to acquire some of the techniques of science and a still smaller minority who are able to use and develop them.

11. The author implies that the 'professional schoolmaster' has

A. no interest in teaching science
B. thwarted attempts to enliven education

E. been a pioneer in both science and humanities.
Ans: B

Directions for Questions 17-20: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in
the passage.
Furthermore, insofar as any conclusion about its author can be drawn from five or six plays attributed to him, the Wakefield Master
is without exception considered to be a man of sharp contemporary observation. He was, probably clerically educated, as indicated
by his Latin and music, his Biblical and patristic lore. Even today he is remembered for his his quick sympathy for the oppressed
and forgotten man, his sharp eye for character, a ready ear for colloquial, vernacular turns of speech and a humor alternately rude
and boisterous, coarse and happy. Therefore in spite of his conscious artistry as can be seen in his feeling for intricate metrical and
stanza forms, he is regarded as a kind of medieval Steinbeck, indignantly angry at, uncompromisingly and even brutally realistic in
presenting the plight of the agricultural poor.
It is now fairly accepted to regard the play as a kind of ultimate point in the secularization of the medieval drama. Therefore more
stress has been laid on it as depicting realistically humble manners and pastoral life in the bleak of the west riding of Yorkshire on a
typically cold night of December 24th. After what are often regarded as almost "documentaries" given in the three successive
monologues of the three shepherds, critics go on to affirm that the realism is then intensified into a burlesque mock-treatment of
the Nativity. Finally as a sort of epilogue or after-thought in deference to the Biblical origins of the materials, the play slides back

2|Page
into an atavistic mood of early innocent reverence. In actuality, the final scene is the culminating scene and also the raison d'etre of
the introductory "realism."
Superficially the present play supports the conventional view of its mood of secular realism. At the same time, the "realism" of the
Wakefield Master is of a paradoxical turn. His wide knowledge of people, as well as books indicates no cloistered contemplative but
one in close relation to his times. Still, that life was after all a predominantly religious one, a time which never neglected the belief
that man was a rebellious and sinful creature in need of redemption . So deeply (one can hardly say "naively" of so sophisticated a
writer) and implicitly religious is the Master that he is less able (or less willing) to present actual history realistically than is the
author of the Brome Abraham and Isaac. His historical sense is even less realistic than that of Chaucer who just a few years before
had done for his own time "costume romances," such as The Knight's Tele, Troilus and Cressida, etc. Furthermore, used highly
romantic materials, which could excuse his taking liberties with history.

17. Of the following statements, which is not true of Wakefield Master?

A. He and Chaucer were contemporaries.
B. Wakefield Master is remembered as having written five or six realistic plays.
C. His plays realistically portray the plight of the country folk of his day
D. His writing was similar to that of John Steinbeck.

A. Introduction of religious themes in the early days
B. Presentation of erudite material
C. Use of contemporary materials
D. Return to early innocent reverence at the end of the play
E. Introduction of mundane matters in religious plays
Ans: E

1. A certain number of men take 45 days to complete work. If there are 10 men less
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

3. 4 women and 5 men working together can do 3 times the work done by 2 women
and one man together. Calculate the work of a man to that of a woman.

A. 1:1
B. 3:2
C. 1:2
D. 2:1

Answer – A. 1:1
Explanation:
Given
4w + 5m = 3*(2w + m)
i.e. 2w = 2m
so the ratio of work done by man to woman is 1:1

4. Manoj can do a work in 20 days, while Chandu can do the same work in 25 days.
They started the work jointly. A few days later Suresh also joined them and thus all of
them completed the whole work in 10 days. All of them were paid total Rs.1000. What
is the share of Suresh?

A. 100
B. 300
C. 200
D. 400

Answer – A. 100
Explanation:
Efficiency of Manoj = 5%
The efficiency of Chandu = 4%
They will complete only 90% of the work = [(5+4)*10] =90
Remaining work was done by Suresh = 10%.
Share of Suresh = 10/100 * 1000 = 100

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

7. While calculating the weight of a group of men, the weight of 63 kg of one of the

A. 25
B. 20
C. 40
D. 60

Answer - C. 40

So (83-63) = x/2
x = 40
Therefore, the number of men in the group are 40
