DSSSB PRT Official Paper 13 Nov 2019 Shift 1 (Previous Year Paper)

The family chart is as follows:

i) L is the father of P. 

ii) R is the sister of P.

iii) S is the only son of R.

iv) L and V have only one daughter.

Drawing the family tree as per the given information:

Thus we can see P is related to S as an Uncle.

Hence, the correct answer is "Uncle".

The pattern followed is:

Hence, the correct answer is "BOC".

The logic follows here is:

The cluster follows the pattern of -2, -2 except for option (3) which follows the pattern of -2, +2.  

Option 1 → 

Option 2 → 

Option 3 → 

Option 4 → 

Thus we can see PQ - NS doesn't follow the pattern of -2, -2.

Hence, the correct answer is "PQ - NS".

The pattern followed is:

Similarly,

Hence, the correct answer is "JAP : KZQ".

The logic followed is:

Second is an example of the first.

A car (or automobile) is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transportation.

Similarly,

Knife is an example of the tool which is used to cut the vegetables etc.

Hence, the correct answer is "Knife".

A big solid cube is cut into small cubes.

If 3 cuts are made on each axis then the total cubes made from each edge is 4.

Now the total number of cubes = 4³ = 64

The number of cubes will have one face painted with red colour and one face painted with yellow colour are the cubes which are on the combined faces of yellow and red coloured at the edges = 4 × 4 - 2 (cubes which also have green face) = 16 - 2 = 14

Hence, "14" is the correct answer.

Shortcut Trick

For a cube of side nnn painted on all sides which is uniformly cut into smaller cubes of dimension 111,

Number of cubes with 0 side painted= (n-2)³

Number of cubes with 1 side painted =6(n - 2)²

Number of cubes with 2 sides painted= 12(n-2)

Number of cubes with 3 sides painted= 8(always)

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

Conclusions: 

1. All boys are red → False (It is possible but not definite). 2. Some small are red → True (As some red are boys and all boys are small, then some boys who are red will also be small is a definite conclusion).

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

Additional Information

According to given information;

Hence, Point K is southwest of Point S.

Venn diagram according to the given information is:

Stool, Teacher, Furniture​ 

All the stool are furniture so they will come inside the furniture circle.

But

Teacher is a different entity from them so it will come as a separate circle.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

The logic followed is:

In all the figures except option (2) as we move inside each figure the number of sides is decreased by 1 but option (2) doesn't follow this common pattern.

Option 1: 

Number of sides in outermost figure = 8

Number of sides in middle figure = 7

Number of sides in innermost figure = 6

As we move inside each figure the number of sides is decreased by 1.

Option 2: 

Number of sides in outermost figure = 5

Number of sides in middle figure = 4

Number of sides in innermost figure = 0

This is not following the common pattern.

Option 3: 

Number of sides in outermost figure = 7

Number of sides in middle figure = 6

Number of sides in innermost figure = 5

As we move inside each figure the number of sides is decreased by 1.

Option 4: 

Number of sides in outermost figure = 6

Number of sides in middle figure = 5

Number of sides in innermost figure = 4

As we move inside each figure the number of sides is decreased by 1.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

The logic followed is:

The given code = (Sum of positional value of letter) - 3

 

 

Similarly:

 

Hence, the correct answer is "44".

The logic followed is:

Given: 16 R 2 T 4 = 12

 

16 ÷ 2 + 4 = 12

8 + 4 = 12

12 = 12

Given: 35 R 7 T 2 = 7

 

35 ÷ 7 + 2 = 7

5 + 2 = 7

7 = 7

Similarly,

40 R 20 T 3 = ?

 

40 ÷ 20 + 3 = ?

2 + 3 = ?

? = 5

Hence, the correct answer is "5".

5 men: P, Q, R, S, and T and

5 women: J, K, L, M and N. The following conditions should be kept in mind.

(A) Minimum of two women should be on the team.

(E) If K is selected, then M will also be selected.

(D) R will not be on the same team as J.

(C) T and Q will always be on the same team.

(B) S will not be on the same team as P.

Case - 1  gets eliminated.

And Case - 2(a) formed one team t.e. KMRTQ.

So, required combinations is;

As, Minimum of two women should be on the team.

So, Case 1(a) gets eliminated.

So; teams may be;

NPJTQ, KMRSL, NSJTQ, KMRPL, LPJTQ, KMRSN, LSJTQ, and KMRPN.

Hence, only two teams can be formed i.e NSJTQ, and KMRTQ.

Hence, option (1) is the correct answer.

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

Conclusions: 

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

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

Decoding the information, 

After replacing the signs from left to right and using the BODMAS rule,

Option 1: 16 S 8 Q 4 P 19 R 23 = 27

16 × 8 ÷ 4 + 19 - 23 = 27

16 × 2 + 19 - 23 = 27

32 + 19 - 23 = 27

51 - 23 = 27

28 ≠ 27

Option 2: 11 P 16 Q 23 S 112 R 14 = 71

11 + 16 ÷ 23 × 112 - 14 = 71

11 + 0.69 × 112 - 14 = 71

11 + 77.28 - 14 = 71

88.28 - 14 = 71

74.28 ≠ 71

Option 3: 13 Q 182 S 42 P 16 R 4 = 15

13 ÷ 182 × 42 + 16 - 4 = 15

0.0714285714 × 42 + 16 - 4 = 15

3 + 16 - 4 = 15

19 - 4 = 15

15 = 15

Option 4: 16 P 19 Q 57 S 12 R 11 = 7

16 + 19 ÷ 57 × 12 - 11 = 7

16 + 0.333333333 × 12 - 11 = 7

16 + 4 - 11 = 7

Ten boys B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9, and B10 are sitting in a row facing towards the north (not necessarily in the same order).

i) Only four boys are towards the left of B9.

ii) B6 is fourth to the right of B9.

iii) No boys are towards the left of B2 (means B2 is at the extreme left corner).

iv) B7 is third to the right of B2.

v) Only two boys are sitting towards the right of B5.

vi) If B5 is to the immediate left of B6. 

vii) B4 is not towards the right of B6 and not towards the left of B9.

⇒ \(h = \frac{16}{3}\times r\)

Given;

r + h = 133 

(Put value of h from above equation)

\(r + \frac{16}{3}\times r = 133\)

⇒ \( \frac{19}{3}\times r = 133\)

⇒ r = 21 cm

The volume of Sphere = \(\frac{4}{3}\times π \times r^3\)

= \(\frac{4}{3}\times \frac{22}{7} \times 21^3\)

= \(4 \times 22 \times 21^2\)

= 38808 cm ³

Hence, 38808 is the correct answer.

Formula Used:

Simple Interest = (P × R × T)/100

Where, P = Principal

R = Rate

T = Time

Calculation:

Let the amount at the end of 2 years be Rs. x

C.I. for 3^rd year = S.I. for the amount at the end of 2 years for 1 year

⇒ 442 = (x × 2 × 15)/100

⇒ x = Rs. 44200/15

Amount at the end of three years = x + C.I. for third year

⇒ (44200/15) + 442 = 50830/15

C.I. for 4^th year = S.I. for amount at the end of 3 years for 1 year,

⇒( \({ {50830} \over15 }\) × 15)/100 = \({ {50830} \over100 }\) = Rs. 508.30

∴ Compound interest will be received in the fourth year on the same sum is Rs. 508.3.

GIVEN:

The number is 10, 20, and 30

CONCEPT USED:

Prime factorization of Number is the multiplication of the Least prime number

CALCULATION:

L.C.M of 30, 20, and 30

⇒ 30 = 2 × 5 × 3

⇒ 20 = 2 × 5 × 2

⇒ 30 = 2 × 5 × 3

⇒ Least Common Multiple = 2² × 5 × 3 = 4 ×  5 × 3 = 60

H.C.F of 30, 20, and 30

Calculation:

⇒ 30 = 2 × 5 × 3

⇒ 20 = 2 × 5 × 2

⇒ 30 = 2 × 5 × 3

⇒ H.C.F of 30, 20, 30 = 2 × 5 = 10

Thus the ratio of L.C.M and H.C.F = 60 ∶ 10 = 6 ∶ 1

Given:

Discount offered on selling a watch is Rs. 2016

Marked price = Rs. 7200

We know that,

Discount % = (Discount/Marked price) × 100

⇒ (2016/7200) × 100

⇒ 2016/72

⇒ 28%

FORMULA USED:

If in these types of questions, the knowledge of conversion from percentage to fraction should be known.

 

Let value of B = 21

First we will calculate 14.28% of B.

1/7 × 21 = 3

According to the question,

A is 14.28% less than B

A = 21 - 3 = 18

Now,

B is how much percentage more than A = 3/18 × 100

⇒ 0.1666 × 100

⇒ 16.66%.

Shortcut Trick

Since the time taken by both trains to meet is the same, the distance ratio is equal to the speed ratio.

Speed ratio (P : Q) = 25 : 30 = 5 : 6

Difference in distance ratio units = 6 − 5 = 1 unit → 10 km

Total distance (P + Q) = (5 + 6) units = 11 units

Total distance = 11 × 10 = 110 km

∴ The correct answer is 110 km.

Alternate Method

Given: Speed_P = 25 km/hr, Speed_Q = 30 km/hr, Difference in distance = 10 km.

Formula Used: Distance = Speed × Time

⇒ Let the time when they meet be 't' hours.

⇒ Distance covered by train P = 25 × t

⇒ Distance covered by train Q = 30 × t

⇒ According to the question: 30t − 25t = 10

⇒ 5t = 10

⇒ t = 2 hours

⇒ Total Distance = (Speed_P + Speed_Q) × t

⇒ Total Distance = (25 + 30) × 2 = 55 × 2 = 110 km

∴ The correct answer is 110 km.

Additional Information

Relative Speed Concept

When two objects move towards each other, their relative speed is the sum of their individual speeds (S₁ + S₂).

Distance-Speed Relationship

When time is constant, Distance is directly proportional to Speed (D ∝ S). The ratio of distances covered is the same as the ratio of their speeds.

Meeting Time Formula

Time to meet = (Initial Distance between them) ÷ (Relative Speed).

Let;

Length of Rectangle = L

Breadth of Rectangle = B

According to question;

Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 × (L + B)

100 = 2 (L + B)

(L + B) = 50   ----- (1)

Area of Rectangle = L × B 

600 = L × B -----(2)

From equation (1) and (2)

We know;

(a - b)² = (a + b)² - 4ab

So, (L - B)² = ( L + B)² - 4 × L × B

(L - B)² = 50² - 4 × 600

(L - B)² = 2500 - 2400

(L - B)2 = 100

(L - B) = 10 ------ (3)

Now; Add from equation (1) and (3)

(L + B) + (L - B) = 50 + 10

2L = 60

L = 30 cm

Put value of L in equation (1)

30 + B = 50 

B = 20 cm

Now; 

Height of Triangle = 8 × B 

= 8 × 20 

= 160 cm

Side AB of a triangle ABC (Base) = L = 30 cm

Area of Triangle = 1/2 × Base × Height

= 1/2 × 160 × 30

= 2400 cm²

Hence, 2400 cm² is the correct answer.

Given:

Total number of eggs sold are 1800

On day D6 = 26% sold

⇒ 26/100 × 1800

⇒ 26 × 18 

⇒ 468

On day D2 = 12% sold

⇒ 12/100 × 1800

⇒ 12 × 18

⇒ 216

Thus the difference in number of eggs sold on day D6 and day D2 = 468 - 216 = 252

Given:

 A = (243)0.12 × (243)0.08

\(B = {\left( {\frac{1}{{216}}} \right)^{ - \frac{2}{3}}} \div {\left( {\frac{1}{{27}}} \right)^{ - \frac{4}{3}}}\)

Calculation:

A = (243)0.12 × (243)0.08 

A = (243)^{(0.12 + 0.08)}

A = (243)^0.2

A = (3⁵)^1/5

A = 3

\(B = {\left( {\frac{1}{{216}}} \right)^{ - \frac{2}{3}}} \div {\left( {\frac{1}{{27}}} \right)^{ - \frac{4}{3}}}\)

\(B = {\left( {\frac{1}{{6^3}}} \right)^{ - \frac{2}{3}}} \div {\left( {\frac{1}{{3^3}}} \right)^{ - \frac{4}{3}}}\)

\(B = {\left( {\frac{1}{{6}}} \right)^{3 \times- \frac{2}{3}}} \div {\left( {\frac{1}{{3}}} \right)^{3 \times- \frac{4}{3}}}\)

\(B = {\left( {\frac{1}{{6}}} \right)^{- {2}}} \div {\left( {\frac{1}{{3}}} \right)^{{-4}}}\)

\(B = {\left( {{{6}}} \right)^{{2}}} \div {\left( {{3}} \right)^{{4}}}\)

\(B = {\left( {{{36}}} \right)} \div {\left( {{81}} \right)}\)

\(B = \frac{4}{9}\)

Now;

\(\frac{B}{A} = \frac {\frac{4}{9}}{3}\)

\(\frac{B}{A} = \frac {4}{27}\)

Hence, option (2) is the correct answer.

Let;

Total Distance = x km

Speeds S₁, S₂, and S₃ are 20 km/h, 30 km/h, and 50 km/h respectively.

Time taken are T₁, T₂, and T₃ respectively.

According to question;

Time = Distance/Speed

T₁ = (x/3)/S₁ = x/60 hr

T₂ = (x/4)/S₂ = x/120 hr

Remaining Distance = x - (x/3) - (x/4) = 5x/12

So, T₃ = (5x/12)/S₃ = x/120 hr

Total time = T₁ + T₂ + T₃

= (x/60) + (x/120) + (5x/600)

⇒ x/60 + x/120 + x/120

= 4x/120

= x/30 hr

Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time

= x/(x/30)

= 30 km/hr

Hence, 30 km/h is the correct answer.

To find the greatest number divisible by 4, and 5, we first need to find the LCM of 4, and 5

Finding the LCM:

4 = 4 × 1

5 = 5 × 1

So, required LCM = 4 × 5 = 20

Therefore, the number has to be of the form 20m + 3, where m is any integer.

The largest number of 5 digits is 99999

When divided by 20, 99999 leaves remainder 19, that is

99999 = 20 × 4999 + 19

So, 99999 - 19 = 99980 is divisible by 20.

Therefore, the required number is 99980 + 3 = 99983

Assume;

B = x

A = 30% of B

A = 30x/100 = 0.30x

C = 45% of B

C = 45x/100 = 0.45x

Now; 

A + B + C = 0.30x + x + 0.45x 

= 1.75x

B's percent less than by (A + B + C) = [(1.75x - x) × 100]/1.75x

= 75x/1.75x

= 42.86%

Hence, option (2) is the correct answer.

Given:

The number of trains departing on day D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5 are 1800, 2000, 1600, 1200 and 2000 respectively,

Calculation:

Total number of trains departing from the station on all 5 days = 1800 + 2000 + 1600 + 1200 + 2000 = 8600

The number of trains departing on day D5 = 2000

Required ratio = 2000 : 8600 = 10 : 43

∴ The ratio of the number of trains departing on day D5 to the total number of trains departing from the station on all 5 days is 10 : 43.

Given:

Sum of two numbers = 15

Sum of their square = 113

Formula used: 

 (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab

Calculation:

Let the two number are a and b

According to the question,

a2 + b2 = 113

⇒ a + b = 15

⇒ (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab

⇒ 152 = 113 + 2ab

⇒ 2ab = 225 - 113

⇒ ab = 112/2 = 56

⇒ ab = 56

∴ The product of two numbers is 56.

The logic followed is:

 

Thus we can see sum of the toys sold by first shopkeepers = (800 + 850 + 900)

⇒ 2550

Thus average number of toys sold by first 3 shopkeepers on that day = 2550/3

⇒ 850

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given:

Time taken by A and B together in doing 3/5 part of a work = 18 days

Time taken by A in doing 1/3 part of a work = 25 days

Calculation:

A and B together can complete whole work = 18 × 5/3 = 30 days

One-day together work of A and B = 1/30 units 

A can complete whole work = 25 × 3 = 75 days

One-day work of A = 1/75 units

B’s one-day work = 1/30 - 1/75 = 1/50

B finish work = 50

B alone can complete (4/5) part of the same work = 50 × 4/5 = 40 days

∴ B alone can complete (4/5) part of the same work is 40 days.

Shortcut Trick

Assume Total Profit = LCM of denominators (6, 5) = 30 units.

P's share = 1/6 × 30 = 5 units.

Q's share = 1/5 × 30 = 6 units.

R's share = 30 − (5 + 6) = 19 units.

Given 19 units = Rs. 38000 ⇒ 1 unit = Rs. 2000.

P's profit = 5 units × 2000 = Rs. 10000.

∴ The correct answer is Rs. 10000.

Alternate Method

Given: P's share = 1/6, Q's share = 1/5, R's amount = Rs. 38000.

Formulas: Total Profit = P + Q + R | Individual Share = Total Profit × Fraction.

⇒ Let total profit be x.

⇒ R's share in fraction = 1 − (1/6 + 1/5) = 1 − (11/30) = 19/30.

⇒ (19/30) × x = 38000.

⇒ x = (38000 × 30) ÷ 19 = 2000 × 30 = Rs. 60000.

⇒ P's profit = 1/6 × 60000 = Rs. 10000.

∴ The correct answer is Rs. 10000.

Additional Information

Partnership Profit Distribution

Profit is distributed based on the investment ratio and time period. If time is constant, Profit Ratio = Investment Ratio.

Fractional Calculation

When shares are given in fractions, the sum of all parts must equal 1 (the whole).

Given:

The milk and water in the two containers are mixed in the ratio of 4 : 5 and 8 : 3 respectively.

The ratio of milk and water in the new mixture is 16 : 13.

Formula Used:

Quantity 1 in the Mixture = Quantity 1/(Quantity 1 + Quantity 2)

Calculation:

The milk in the first mixture = 4/(4 + 5) = 4/9

The milk in the second mixture = 8/(8 + 3) = 8/11

The milk in the new mixture = 16/(16 + 13) = 16/29

The ratio of the mixture = (16/29 - 4/9) : (8/11 - 16/29) = 28/261 : 56/319

= 1/9 : 2/11

= 11 : 18

∴ The ratio of the two mixture is 18 : 11.

Calculation:

\(\sqrt[3]{{3x - 8}} - 4 = 0\)

\(\sqrt[3]{{3x - 8}} = 4\)

⇒ 3x - 8 = (4)³

⇒ 3x = 64 + 8

⇒ 3x = 72

⇒ x = 72/3 = 24.

∴ The value of x is 24.

A sold a table to B at a profit of 40%.

B sold it to D at a profit of 60%.

W sold a chair L to X at the loss of 20%.

X sold it to P at a loss of 30% and finally, P sold it to G at a loss of 50%.

Price at which W bought the chair = Rs. 600

The price is given by X = 600 - 20% of 600

= 80% of 600

= Rs. 480 

The price is given by P = 480 - 30% of 480

= 70% of 480

= Rs. 336 

According to question;

Price of the table given by D = Price of chair given by P

Price of the table given by D = Rs. 336

Hence, 336 is the correct answer.
