DSSSB PRT Official Paper 11 Nov 2019 Shift 2 (Previous Year Paper)

i) R is the son of H. 

ii) T is the sister of L and R.

iii) K is the son of L. 

Drawing the family tree as per the given information:

Thus we can see K is related to H as a Grandson.

The pattern followed here is:

Similarly,

Hence, the correct answer is "MD".

NOTE: The answer ME is also possible according to the below logic.

From L(12) to F(6) if we considered it as half of the positional value number, then similarly J(10) to half is E(5).

But this is an official answer given by the exam conducting board.

From the given diagram:

Thus there is a total of (4 + 1 = 5) plastic that is green.

Hence, the correct answer is "5".

Eight girls A, B, J, K, P, R, L, and T are sitting around a circular table facing the center (not necessarily in the same order). 

i) J is sitting opposite P.

ii) J is second to the right of K.

iii) T and L are immediate neighbors.

iv)  If A is to the immediate left of P and L is to the immediate left of A.

v) Either A or B are immediate neighbors of K.

vi) Either T or L is to the immediate right of J.

As A is to the immediate left of P and L is to the immediate left of A thus only case i) is possible and case ii) is discarded.

The final arrangement is:

Hence, the correct answer is "J is to the immediate right of R".

Let the related number be 'a'.

The logic followed is:

First number = (Second number × 2) + 2

46 = (22 × 2) + 2

46 = 44 + 2

46 = 46

Similarly, 

78 = (a × 2) + 2

78 = 2a + 2

2a = 78 - 2

2a = 76

a = 38

Hence, the correct answer is "38".

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as below:

Conclusions: 

1. No K is R → False (It is possible but not definite). 2. No R is J → True (As no J is R is correct then no R is J will also be correct). 3. Some W is not R → True (As no R is W then some W is not R is also a definite conclusion).

Hence, the correct answer is "Both conclusions II and III follow".

Additional Information

Given series: 14, 7, 8, 10.5, 21

The pattern followed is:

The wrong term here is 8. Instead of 8, it should be 7 there.

Hence, the correct answer is "8".

The total number of triangles:

Hence, the correct answer is "15".

Alternate Method

The total number of triangles here is 15 as given below.

Triangle (ABC, ACD, ABD, CFE, GHI, GID, GHD, IED, GCE, GED, GCD, ACH, CHD, AIF, GCF).)

Hence, the correct answer is "15".

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as below:

Conclusions: 

1. No red is big → False (It is possible but not definite). 2. Some big are not small → True (As no Big is Small is correct then some Big are not small is also correct).

Hence, the correct answer is "Only conclusion II follows".

Additional Information

The pattern followed is:

Hence, the correct answer is "C4".

Given series: FRL, JUH, NXD, RAY, VDV

The pattern followed is:

The RAY is the wrong term here in the series. Instead of RAY, it should be RAZ as shown above.

Hence, the correct answer is "RAY".

Drawing the diagram as per the given information:

Thus we can say starting point is in the North of ending point.

Important PointsThus we can conclude that:

i) The direction of ending point with respect to starting point is South.

ii) The direction of starting point with respect to ending point is North.

Mistake PointsIf the question is framed in such a way that (In which direction is the starting point from the endpoint), then the answer would have been South, but here it is asked in reverse (In which direction is the starting point from the endpoint) ∴ answer would be North.

Hence, the correct answer is "North".

The logic followed is:

All except option (3), first denotes the purpose for which it is used. 

Option 1: Gun : Kill

Gun is used for the purpose to shoot or kill.

Option 2: Pen : Write

The pen is used for the purpose to write.

Option 3: Table : Furniture.

This is odd here as the table is used for a purpose to sit.

Option 4: Rubber : Erase

The rubber is used for the purpose to erase the writing on the paper.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The pattern followed is:

Similarly,

Hence, the correct answer is "KZOLNS".

Chess is an indoor game.

Similarly;

Table Tennis is an indoor game.

Hence, "Indoor ∶ Table Tennis" is the correct answer.

Additional Information

The Correct mirror image of the given figure when the mirror is placed at the left side of  AB:

The pattern followed is:

Given series:

Steps:

1. There is no change in the double-sided arrow we moving forward in the series.
2. The small vertical lines along with the small circles are decreasing by +1 in each next step.

Thus we can see figure 3

 which is wrongly placed because of the following reason:

There should be shaded circle in the middle but given circle in the figure is unshaded.

The option 2 is wrong figure from the given series.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

In the below diagram shortest distance between starting point and destination denoted by point M and G respectively.

Now, Triangle "MPG" is a right-angled triangle, so using Pythagoras Theorem: 

MG2 = MP2 + PG2 

MG2 = (1200)2 + (500)2

MG2 = 1440000 + 250000

MG2 = 1690000

MG = √1690000

MG = 1300

Thus hospital M is in the North-west direction of the shop G.

Hence, the correct answer is "1300 meter, North-west".

The correct Venn diagram representation is:

All mothers are woman.

Hence, option (2) is the correct answer.

The logic followed is:

Given:

i) H is below M. 

ii) There are three items between H and M.

iii) L is not at the top.

iv) There are three items between R and G.

v) T is above G.

vi) L is just above T.

Thus the final arrangement will be from the given statements:

i) G is at the bottom → True

ii) L is third from the top → True 

Hence, the correct answer is "I and II both are correct".

9 AM to 2 PM = 5 hours

Let the Distance be x km

Speed = x/5 km

Let the two trains meet each other after t hours.

Distance covered by the first train = t × x/6

Distance covered by the second train = (t - 2) × x/5

According to the question,

x = t × x/6 + (t - 2) × x/5

⇒ 5t + 6t - 12 = 30

⇒ 11t = 42

⇒ t = 42/11 = \(3\frac{8}{11}\)

Required time = 7 + \(3\frac{8}{11}\) = 10:49 AM

∴ The meeting time of the trains is 10:49 AM.

Concept used:

For this type of questions, we take LCM of denominator of all powers,

Calculation:

\(\sqrt [12]{25}\) = (25)^1/12 = (25)^{1/12 × 12} = 25

\(\sqrt[6]{10}\) = (10)⁶ = (10)^1/6 × 12 = 100

\( \sqrt[4]{3}\) = (3)^1/4 = (3)1/4 × 12 = 27

Now, we can clearly see, 

100 > 27 > 25 = \(\sqrt[6]{10}, \sqrt[4]{3}, \sqrt [12]{25}\)

∴ The correct descending order of the given value \(\sqrt[6]{10}, \sqrt[4]{3}, \sqrt [12]{25}\).

Given:

Radius of sphere, R = 6 cm

Radius of cylinder, r = 8 cm 

Formula used:

Volume of sphere = 4/3 πR³

Volume of cylinder = πr²h

Calculation:

Let the increase in height of water level be h.

The increase in volume of water will be equal to volume of ball immersed:

πr2h = 4/3 πR3

⇒ 8 × 8 × h = 4/3 × 6 × 6 × 6

⇒ h =  (4 × 2 × 6 × 6)/(8 × 8) = 4.5 cm

∴ The increase in height of water level is 4.5 cm.

Given:

The radius of the wheel of a motorcycle = 14 cm

Formula used:

Circumference of a circle = 2πr

Calculation:

According to the question,

Distance covered = Number of revolutions × Circumference 

Distance covered in 800 revolutions will be = 800 × Circumference

Circumference of a circle = 2πr = 2 × 22/7 × 14 = 88 cm = 0.88 m

Distance covered in 1 minute = 0.88 m × 800 = 704 m

Therefore, speed = 704 m/minute = 704 × 60/1000 = 42.24 km/hr.

∴ The speed of the motorcycle is 42.24 km/h.

\( A = \sqrt[8]{{\sqrt[3]{{{{\left( {{{81}^2}} \right)}^3}}}}}\)

\(B = \sqrt[6]{{\sqrt[3]{{{{\left( {{3^4}} \right)}^3}}}}} \times \sqrt[6]{{\sqrt[6]{{{{\left( {{3^2}} \right)}^6}}}}}\)

\( A + B = \sqrt[8]{{\sqrt[3]{{{{\left( {{{81}^2}} \right)}^3}}}}} + \sqrt[6]{{\sqrt[3]{{{{\left( {{3^4}} \right)}^3}}}}} \times \sqrt[6]{{\sqrt[6]{{{{\left( {{3^2}} \right)}^6}}}}}\)

= \(\sqrt[8]{{{{{{\left( {{{81}^2}} \right)}^{3\times\frac{1}{3}}}}}}} + \sqrt[6]{{{{{{\left( {{3^4}} \right)}^{3\times\frac{1}{3}}}}}}} \times \sqrt[6]{{{{{{\left( {{3^2}} \right)}^{6\times\frac{1}{6}}}}}}}\)

= \(\sqrt[8]{{{{{{\left( {{{81}^2}} \right)}}}}}} + \sqrt[6]{{{{{{\left( {{3^4}} \right)}}}}}} \times \sqrt[6]{{{{{{\left( {{3^2}} \right)}}}}}}\)

= \({{{{{{\left( {{{81}^{2 \times \frac {1}{8} }}} \right)}}}}}} + {{{{{{\left( {{3^{4 \times \frac {1}{6}}}} \right)}}}}}} \times {{{{{{\left( {{3^{2 \times \frac {1}{6}}}} \right)}}}}}}\)

= \({{{{{{\left( {{{81}^{\frac {1}{4} }}} \right)}}}}}} + {{{{{{\left( {{3^{\frac {2}{3}}}} \right)}}}}}} \times {{{{{{\left( {{3^{\frac {1}{3}}}} \right)}}}}}}\)

= \({{{{{{\left( {{{3}}} \right)}}}}}} + {{{{{{\left( {{3^{\frac {2}{3} + \frac{1}{3}}}} \right)}}}}}}\)

= \(3 + 3\)

= 6

Hence, "6" is the correct answer.

Given:

Increase in the price of rice = 25%.

Increase in the expenditure = 5%.

Expenditure = price × consumption

Consumption = expenditure/price

⇒ (105/125) × 100

⇒ 84%

Increase in the consumption = 84%

Thus percentage decrease = (100 - 84)%

⇒ 16%

Given:

Time taken by A to complete 2/3 of the work = 40 days

Time taken by B to complete 3/4 of the work = 60 days

Calculation:

A complete 2/3 of the work in 40 days

Time taken by A to complete the whole work = 40/(2/3) = 60 days

B complete 3/4 work in 60 days

Time taken by B to complete the whole work = 60/(3/4) = 80 days

Total work = L.C.M. (60, 80) = 240 units

Combined efficiency of A and B = (240/60) + (240/80)

⇒ Combined efficiency of A and B = 4 + 3 = 7 units/day

Time taken by A and B to complete the whole work = 240/7

A and B together complete (7/8) of the same work = 240/7 × 7/8 = 30 days

∴ The time taken by A and B together complete (7/8) of the same work is 30 days.

Concept used:

a^m ÷ aⁿ = a^{(m - n)}

(a^m)ⁿ = a^mn

Calculation:

(1024)0.8 ÷ (1024)0.4

⇒ (1024)^{(0.8 - 0.4)}

⇒ (4⁵)^0.4

⇒ 4^{5 × 0.4}

⇒ 4² = 16.

∴ The value of (1024)0.8 ÷ (1024)0.4 is 16.

The Central Angle formed by the Percentage of P4 obtained as:

(22/100) × 360° = (7920/10)° = 79.2°

The Central Angle formed by the Percentage of P1 obtained as: 

(13/100) × 360° = (4680/10)° = 46.8°

The difference between the central angles formed by the segments of P4 and P1 as:

79.2° -  46.8° = 32.4°

∴ The difference between the central angles formed by the segments P4 and P2 is 32.4°.

Given:

Number of calculators sold on day D2 = 1200

Number of calculators sold on day D4 = 600

Number of calculators sold on day D5 = 1400

Calculation:

the total number of calculators sold on day D4 and day D5 = 600 + 1400 = 2000

Required % = (1200/2000) × 100 = 60%

∴ The required % is 60%.

Let; the speed of the truck (s₁) = x km/h

Distance (d) = 192 km

Time = Distance/Speed

Time (t₁)= 192/x h

If the speed of the truck is reduced by 8 km.

Then; New Speed (s₂) = (x - 8) km/h

Time = Distance/New Speed

Time (t₂) = 192/(x -8) h

According to question;

t₂ = t₁ + 2

192/(x - 8) = (192/x) + 2

192/(x - 8) = (192 + 2x)/x

192x = (192 + 2x) × (x - 8)

192x = 192x - 1536 + 2x² - 16x

2x² - 16x - 1536 = 0

x² - 8x - 768 = 0

x² - 32x + 24x + 768 = 0

x(x - 32) + 24(x - 32) = 0

(x - 32) (x + 24) = 0

x = - 24, 32 

Negative value gets eliminated;

So, Speed of the truck is 32 km/h

Hence, 32 km/h is the correct answer.

Given:

The incomes of A, B and C are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3 respectively,

Their expenditure is in the ratio 2 : 3 : 4 respectively,

A saves Rs 8000 out of his income of Rs. 20000

Formula used:

Income = Expenditure + Savings

Calculation:

Let income be 'x' & expenditure be 'y' respectively

The incomes of A, B and C are x, 2x, and 3x 

Their expenditure of 2y, 3y and 4y

According to the question,

A’s savings = Income – Expenditure

⇒ A’s savings = x - 2y

⇒ 8000 = 20000 - 2y

⇒ 2y = 12000 

⇒ y = 6000

Now, Income of A = Rs. 20000

Income of B = Rs. 2x = 2 × 20000 = Rs. 40000

Expenditure of B = Rs. 3y = 3 × 6000 = Rs. 18000

B’s savings = Income - Expenditure 

⇒ B’s savings = Rs. 40000 - Rs. 18000 = Rs. 22,000

∴ The savings of B is Rs. 22,000.

Calculation:

Let the total votes be 100

According to the question,

First candidate got 60% of the total votes = 100 × 60/100 = 60

Number of votes second candidate got = 100 - 60 = 40

Required % = (60 - 40)/40 × 100 = 50%

∴ The required percent is 50%.

Given:

Principal = Rs. 3200

Rate = 20%

Time = 2 years

Formula used:

Compound interest = P[(1 + r/100)n - 1]

Where, r = Rate of interest, n = Time in year

Calculation:

Compound interest = P[(1 + r/100)n - 1]

⇒ CI = 3200[(1 + 20/100)² - 1]

⇒ CI = 3200(36/25 - 1) = 3200 × 11/25 = Rs. 1408

∴ The interest will be received after two years is Rs. 1408.

Concept used:

Follow the BODMAS rule according to the table given below:

Calculation:

\(\frac{5 + 7 \times 3 - 2.5 \times 8 +5+8\div 2}{2 + 3 - 8 + 2 \times 2+4}\)

⇒ \(\frac{5 + 7 \times 3 - 2.5 \times 8 +5+4}{2 + 3 - 8 + 2 \times 2+4}\)

⇒ \(\frac{5 + 21 - 20 +5+4}{2 + 3 - 8 + 4 +4}\)

⇒ \(\frac{15}{5}\)

⇒ 3

∴ The required value of 3.

Given: 

Cost Price of G = 460 Rs.

According to question;

Selling Price of G = Cost Price of G - Loss

Selling Price of G = 460 - 20% of 460

Selling Price of G = 460 - (20 × 460)/100

Selling Price of G = 460 - 92

Selling Price of G = 368 Rs.

The Selling Price of R and G are the same.

So, the Selling Price of R = 368 Rs.

Let; Cost Priceof R = x Rs.

Selling Price of R = Cost Price of R + Profit

368 = x + 60% of x

368 = 160x/100

x = (368 × 5)/8

x = 230 Rs.

So, Cost Price of R = 230 Rs.

Now; for 90% Profit:

Selling price of R = Cost Price + Profit

Selling Price of R = 230 + 90% of 230

= 230 + 207

= 437

Hence, 437 Rs. is the correct answer.

P invests 1/6^th of the total investment.

Q invests 2/5^th of the total investment.

Taking L.C.M = 6, 5

L.C.M = 30

Let the total investment be Rs. 30.

P invests 1/6^th of the total investment = 30/6 = Rs. 5

Q invests 2/5^th of the total investment = (2/5) × 30 = Rs. 12

Thus R invests = Rs 30 - (Rs. 12 + Rs. 5)

⇒ 30 - 17

⇒ Rs. 13

Thus ratio of the profit of P, Q and R respectively is 5 : 12 : 13.

Hence, the correct answer is "5 : 12 : 13".

Let the marked price of this article = Rs. x

Selling price = Rs. y

A.T.Q.

y = {x(100 - 16)}/100 

y = x(84)/100

y/x = 84/100

x/y = 100/84

Thus x ∶ y = 25 : 21

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The correct answer is 'a week ago'.

Key Points

• The error lies in the incorrect usage of the adverb 'before'.
• Ago: It is used to show how far back in the past something happened.
• Example: Her husband died 14 years ago.
• Before: It is used to express an event earlier than a particular event or action of past.
• Example: I saw her a few days before she died.
• Thus, from the above-given explanation, we can say that the correct answer is option 4.

Therefore, the correct answer is: 'She visited her aunt just a week ago.'

Additional Information

• Adverb: A word that adds to the meaning of a verb, an adjective, another adverb, or a whole sentence

The correct answer is 'painting'.

Key Points

• The error lies in the incorrect usage of infinitive after the verb 'finish'.
• 'To paint' needs to be replaced with 'painting'.
• There are some verbs that are followed by a gerund, such verbs are 'finish, begin, avoid, keep, mind, enjoy, hate, remember, imagine, start, stop etc'.
• Here, the sentence uses the verb 'finish' which will be succeeded by a gerund according to the explanation above.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: I have not finished painting the door. 

Additional Information

• Gerund: When the -ing form of verb act as a noun in a sentence, it is called a gerund.
• Example: Swimming is a good exercise.

The correct answer is 'canvass'.

Key Points

• Let's explore the meaning of the given options and the marked option:

• From the above-given explanation, we can say that either option 2 or option 4 will be used in the blank.
• As the blank is preceded by the preposition 'to' blank needs a base form of as the preposition 'to' generally succeeded by the base form of verb.
• Thus, 'canvass' will be used in the blank.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: He has decided to canvass for the conservative party.

The correct answer is 'Very Excited'.

Key Points

• Heart missed a beat: It is an idiomatic phrase and is used to say that someone is very excited, surprised, or frightened.

The correct answer is '3', i.e. the error lies in this part of the sentence.

Key Points

• The error lies in the incorrect usage of the preposition 'along'.
• Along as a preposition is used to show movement in a constant direction.
• Example:  We were driving along a narrow road.

• We need to remove 'along' from this part of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: 'She will finish the work in a week.'

The correct answer is 'To earn money to live'.
