Learning is the knowledge of that which is not generally known to others, and which we can only derive at second­hand from books or other artificial sources. The knowledge of that which is before us, or about us, which appeals to our experience, passions, and pursuits, to the bosoms and businesses of men, is not learning. Learning is the knowledge of that which none but the learned know. He is the most learned man who knows the most of what is farthest removed from common life and actual observation. The learned man prides himself in the knowledge of names, and dates, not of men or things. He thinks and cares nothing about his next­door neighbours, but he is deeply read in the tribes and castes of the Hindoos and Calmuc Tartars. He can hardly find his way into the next street, though he is acquainted with the exact dimensions of Constantinople and Peking. He does not know whether his oldest acquaintance is a knave or a fool, but he can pronounce a pompous lecture on all the principal characters in history. He cannot tell whether an object is black or white, round or square, and yet he is a professed master of the optics and the rules of perspective.


The passage suggests that a learned man

A) understands his neighbours B) does not know his old acquaintances
C) is not concerned about names and dates D)  is interested in travelling
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) does not know his old acquaintances

Q:

Can You Guess The Missing Numbers In The Given Math Puzzle?

A) B)
C) D)
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A)

Explanation:

Let the missing numbers be x, y, a and b

x + y = 8 ---- (1)
a - b = 6 ---- (2)
x + a = 13 --- (3)
y + b = 8 ---- (4)

2x + a + y = 21 --- From (1 & 3)
a + y = 14 ----  From (2 & 4)

Substitute (2 & 4) in (1 & 3)

2x + 14 = 21
2x = 7
x = 3.5

From (1) ---> 3.5 + y = 8
=> y = 8 - 3.5 = 4.5

a + y = 14 => a = 14 - y = 14 - 4.5 => a = 9.5
From (4) ---- y + b = 8 => b = 8 - y = 8 - 4.5 = 3.5

Hence,
x = 3.5
y = 4.5
a = 9.5
b = 3.5
