Q:

The Regent (released Voltaire) P (having discovered that he had imprisoned) Q (Ran innocent man and gave him a pension) S

The correct sequence should be

A) P Q R S B) P R S Q
C) Q R S P D) Q R P S
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Q R P S

Explanation:

Since, the starting statement carries a subject; the next statement will carry a verb i.e. Q follows as it mentioned the discovery of the Regent. R will bethe continuing statement which states what he actually discovered. P follows next as it talked about the reaction of the Regent after the discovery. And S would be the concluding statement and thus form a coherent paragraph.

The correct formation would be, ‘The Regent having discovered that he had imprisoned an innocent man released Voltaire and gave him a pension.’

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and click the button corresponding to it.

The Alaska pipeline starts at the frozen edge of the Arctic Ocean. It stretches southward across the largest and northernmost state in the United States, ending at a remote ice-free seaport village nearly 800 miles from where it begins. It is massive in size and extremely complicated to operate. The steel pipe crosses windswept plains and endless miles of delicate tundra that tops the frozen ground. It weaves through crooked canyons, climbs sheer mountains, plunges over rocky crags, makes its way through thick forests, and passes over or under hundreds of rivers and streams. The pipe is 4 feet in diameter, and up to 2 million barrels (or 84 million gallons) of crude oil can be pumped through it daily. Resting on H-shaped steel racks called "bents", long sections of the pipeline follow a zigzag course high above the frozen earth. Other long sections drop out of sight beneath spongy or rocky ground and return to the surface later on. The pattern of the pipeline's up-and-down route is determined by the often harsh demands of the arctic and subarctic climate, the tortuous lay of the land, and the varied compositions of soil, rock, or permafrost (permanently frozen ground). A little more than half of the pipeline is elevated above the ground. The remainder is buried anywhere from 3 to 12 feet, depending largely upon the type of terrain and the properties of the soil. One of the largest in the world, the pipeline cost approximately $8 billion and is by far the biggest and most expensive construction project ever undertaken by private industry. In fact, no single business could raise that much money, so 8 major oil companies formed a consortium in order to share the costs. Each company controlled oil rights to particular shares of land in the oil fields and paid into the pipeline-construction fund according to the size of its holdings. Today, despite enormous problems of climate, supply shortage, equipment breakdowns, labour disagreements, treacherous terrain, a certain amount of mismanagement, and even theft, the Alaska pipeline has been completed and is operating.


What is the capacity of the Alaskan pipeline?

A) 2 million gallons of crude oil B) 4 million barrels of crude oil
C) 84 million gallons of crude oil D) 84 billion barrels of crude oil
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 84 million gallons of crude oil

Q:

The ratio of volume of a cone to that of a cylinder if cylinder radius is reduced by 4 times and its height increased by 8 times of that of the cone, is - 

A) 3:2 B) 2:3
C) 5:7 D) 7:5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2:3

Explanation:

Ans. Let radius of the base and height of the cone be ‘r’ & ‘h’ respectively.

Then volume of cone = πr2h/3 For cylinder, radius is reduced by 4 times = r/4 And,  height is increased by 8 folds = 8h Volume of cylinder = πR2H = π(r/4)2 (8h) = (16/8)πr2h = πr2h/2 Ratio of volume of cone to volume of cylinder = (πr2h/3) : (πr2h/2) Or, Ratio = 2 : 3.

Q:

A universal recipient blood group belongs to

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

Explanation:

In transfusions of packed red blood cells, individuals with type O Rh D negative blood are often called universal donors. Those with type AB Rh D positive blood are called universal recipients.

The immune system of a person with AB blood will accept blood from all possible donors, whether they have O, A, B, or AB blood. Since both A and B antigens are present in a person with AB blood, the recipient won't reject the blood. The body identifies that blood as "self" rather than "foreign."
