Section One
Quantitative Ability & Data Interpretation
This is the first section of the two-section exam. You will have 70 minutes to answer 30 questions in this section. You can NOT go from this section to the next section till the 70 minutes run out. You may use any remaining time to review the questions within this section only.
Once this section has ended, the second section will start and you can NOT return to this section.

1. A sphere with a diameter of 6 cm is dropped in a right circular cylindrical vessel that is partially filled with water. The diameter of the cylindrical vessel is 12 cm. If the sphere is completely submerged in water, how much will the level of water rise in the cylindrical vessel?
a. 1 c.m
b. 2 c.m
c. 3 c.m
d. 4 c.m
2. The profit and loss statement for the financial year of a company shows a sale of Rs 15200. The primary cost is 25% of sales and leading costs account for 20% of the gross profit. The gross profit is determined by deducting the primary cost plus the cost of miscellaneous expenses of Rs 1200. The managing director's salary of Rs 500 per annum plus 2% of annual sales is a minimum cost. What is the per cent profit on a capital investment of Rs 20000?
a. 28 %
b. 30 %
c. 38 %
d. 40 %
3. A punching machine is used to create a circular hole of diameter 2 unit from a square sheet of aluminum of width 2 unit, as shown in the figure. The hole is punched such that the circular hole touches one corner P of the square sheet and the diameter of the hole originating at P is in line with a diagonal of the square.
The area of the sheet that remains after punching is
a. 10/7 sq unit
b. 22/7 sq unit
c. 5/7 sq unit
d. 9/7 sq unit
4. The value of the product (1 + tan 1°)(1 + tan 2°)(1 + tan 3°)…………………(1 + tan 45°) is
a. 45
b. 2 45
c. 2 23
d. 2 22

Section Two
Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning
This is the second section of the two-section exam. You will have 70 minutes to answer 30 questions in this section. You can NOT go from this section to the previous section. You may use any remaining time to review the questions within this section only.
You exam is complete once the 70 minutes run out and this section has ended.

1.In each of the options, the following word is used in sentences in four different ways. Choose the option corresponding to the sentence in which the usage of the word is incorrect or inappropriate.
2. The sentences given in this question, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labelled with a number. Choose the most logical order of sentences from among the choices given to construct a coherent paragraph.
a. These instructions are read from the computer's memory and are generally carried out (executed) in the order they were given.
b. However, there are usually specialised instructions to tell the computer to jump ahead or backwards to some other place in the program and to carry on executing from there.
c. Many computers directly support subroutines by providing a type of jump that ‘remembers’ the location it jumped from and another instruction to return to the instruction following that jump instruction.
d. These are called ‘jump’ instructions (or branches), and may be made to happen conditionally so that different sequences of instructions may be used depending on the result of some previous calculation or some external event.
e. In most cases, computer instructions are simple: add one number to another, move some data from one location to another, send a message to some external device, etc.
3. To discover the relation between rules, paradigms, and normal science, consider first how the historian isolates the particular "loci of commitment" that have been described as accepted rules. Close historical investigation of a given specialty at a given time discloses a set of recurrent and quasi-standard illustrations of various theories in their conceptual, observational, and instrumental applications. These are the community's paradigms, revealed in the textbooks, lectures, and laboratory exercises. By studying them and by practising with them, the members of the corresponding community learn their trade. The historian, of course, will discover in addition a penumbral area occupied by achievements whose status is still in doubt, but the core of solved problems and techniques will usually be clear. Despite occasional ambiguities, the paradigms of a mature scientific community can be determined with relative ease.
That demands a second step and one of a somewhat different kind. When undertaking it, the historian must compare the community's paradigms with each other and with its current research reports. In doing so, the historian's object is to discover what isolable elements, explicit or implicit, the members of that community may have abstracted from their more global paradigms and deploy them as rules in their research. Anyone who has attempted to describe or analyse the evolution of a particular scientific tradition will necessarily have sought accepted principles and rules of this sort. Almost certainly, he would have met with at least partial success. But, if his experience has been at all like my own, he will have found the search for rules both more difficult and less satisfying than the search for paradigms. Some of the generalisations he employs to describe the community's shared beliefs will present more problems. Others, however, will seem a shade too strong. Phrased in just that way, or in any other way he can imagine, they would almost certainly have been rejected by some members of the group he studies. Nevertheless, if the coherence of the research tradition is to be understood in terms of rules, some specification of common ground in the correspondingarea is needed. As a result, the search for a body of rules competent to constitute a normal research tradition, becomes a source of continual and deep frustrations.
a. What is the author attempting to illustrate through this passage?
b. The term 'loci of commitment', as used in the passage, would most likely correspond with which of the following?
c. With which of the following is the author of this passage likely to agree?
4. Five girls took part in a race. Rashmi finished before Mandakini but behind Gauri. Astha finished before Suhana but behind Mandakini. Who won the race?
