फळांच्या तीन करंड्यात आंबे, केळी, चिकू व पेर ही फळे भरलेली आहेत. आंबे व केळी या फळांची संख्या समान आहे. चिकू केळींच्या दुप्पट आहेत. पेरची संख्या चिकू व केळी मिळून होणाऱ्या संख्येच्या 3/4 इतकी आहे. तीन करंड्यात मिळून 1000 फळे आहेत तर त्यात पेर व चिकू यांची अनुक्रमे संख्या किती असेल ? Three containers are filled with mangoes, bananas, chikkus and pears. Mangoes and bananas are equal in number. Chikkus are double that of bananas. Pears are 3/4 of that of chikkus and bananas together. If total number of fruits in three containers is 1000 how many pears and chikkus are there ?

Let bananas = x, mangoes = x, chikkus = 2x, pears = (3/4)*(2x + x) = 9/4 x. Total = x + x + 2x + (9/4)x = 1000, solving gives x=160. Pears = 360, Chikkus = 320.

एका क्रिकेट खेळाडूची चेंडू फेकण्याची सरासरी 24.85 धावा प्रति विकेट होती. एका मॅचमध्ये त्याने 52 धावा देऊन 5 विकेट घेतल्या. त्यानंतर त्याची चेंडू फेकण्याची सरासरी 0.85 एवढी कमी झाली तर अंतिम मॅच खेळण्यापूर्वी त्याने घेतलेल्या विकेटची संख्या किती होती ? The balling average of a cricket player was 24.85 runs per wicket. In a match he took 5 wickets, giving 52 runs. Then his balling average got reduced by 0.85. Then how many wickets had he taken, before playing the last match ?

Let previous wickets be n. Total runs before = 24.85n. New average = (24.85n + 52)/(n + 5) = 24.85 - 0.85 = 24. Solving this equation gives n = 80.

69. खालील अक्षर त्रिकोणावरून ती व्यवस्था काय आहे ते ओळखा. त्या व्यवस्थेच्या आधारावर सर्वात खालच्या ओळीवर तुमच्या उजवीकडून तिसरे अक्षर कोणते ? From the following alphabet triangle find out what that system is. On the basis of the system, which is the third letter on the base line from your right ?

Decoding the alphabet triangle pattern row by row reveals the structured arrangement, and tracing the path to the third letter from the right on the base line gives F.

70. त्रिकोण ABC हा समभुज त्रिकोण आहे. तर OBC हा समद्विभुज त्रिकोण आहे. जर ∠BOC हा 100° चा असेल तर ∠ACO किती असेल? Triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle. Triangle OBC is an isosceles triangle. If angle BOC is 100°; then how much will the ∠ACO be ?

Since Triangle ABC is equilateral, all its internal angles are 60°. Using properties of adjacent angles and triangle angle sums along with the given angle BOC = 100°, angle ACO can be deduced geometrically.

पाच एकसारखे डबे आहेत. त्यात वेगवेगळ्या वस्तू बंद असून, आतील सामग्रीचे विवरण दर्शक लेबल डब्यावर पुढील प्रमाणे लावलेले आहेत. सामग्री - लेबल दोन चेंडू - BB दोन पेन - PP दोन घड्याळ - WW एक घड्याळ व एक चेंडू - WB एक घड्याळ व एक पेन - WP कोणीतरी या डब्यांचे लेबल्स अशा प्रकारे बदलविले की, कोणत्याही डब्यामध्ये ती सामग्री नाही, जिचे लेबल त्या डब्यावर आहे. जर WB आणि PP लेबल लावलेले डबे उघडले आणि त्यातील चार वस्तूंपैकी कोणतीही घड्याळ नसेल तर WW असे लेबल ज्या डब्यावर असेल त्या डब्याच्या बाबतीत कोणते विधान सत्य असेल ? There are five similar boxes, having labels, indicating the description of the items contained in them, as follows : Items - Labels Two Balls - BB Two pens - PP Two Watches - WW One watch and one Ball - WB One watch and one Pen - WP Some one has changed the labels on all the boxes, such that, no box contains the items, as per the label on it. If the boxes with labels WB and PP are opened and no item is watch, then which statement will be true in case of the box, having label WW ?

Since labels are completely misplaced and opening WB and PP yielded no watches, logical deduction on remaining box contents reveals that the box labeled WW must contain exactly one watch.

A, B, C, D, E, F आणि G एका कुटुंबाचे सदस्य आहेत, ज्यामध्ये चार वयस्क असून तीन बालके आहेत, त्यापैकी दोन F आणि G मुली आहेत. A आणि D हे भाऊ असून A डॉक्टर आहे. E एक इंजिनियर असून दोन भावांपैकी एकासोबत विवाहबद्ध असून E ला दोन अपत्ये आहेत. B, D सोबत विवाहित आहे; आणि G त्यांचे अपत्य आहे. तर C कोण आहे? A, B, C, D, E, F and G are the members of a family. Out of them, four are adults and three are children, of which two, F and G are girls. A and D are brothers and A is a Doctor. E is an Engineer and has married one of the two brothers. E has two children. B is married to D and G is their child. Then who is C ?

Tracing family relations: A and D are brothers. B is married to D and G is their child. Since E is an Engineer married to one of the brothers (must be A, as D is married to B) and has two children (F and G or F and C), working out the tree shows C is the son of A.

या प्रश्नाचा पूर्ण मजकूर व पर्याय वरील प्रतिमेत आहेत. / The full question and options are in the image above.

If Akshay takes a days, Kabir takes a - 10: 1/a + 1/(a - 10) = 1/12 gives a = 30 (1/30 + 1/20 = 1/12). Satyam takes 45 days. Together Akshay and Satyam do 1/30 + 1/45 = 1/18 per day, so 18 days.

You as an administrative authority have been approached by a house wife of a well-established entrepreneur complaining of harassment for having two daughters. She also informs you that her parents are not financially well off to help her in this matter. You would :

Harassment over having daughters comes from the husband's attitude, so counselling the couple together addresses its source while keeping the family intact, and MPSC gives it full marks. Counselling only the wife (1.5) leaves the cause untouched, a formal complaint (1) is a fallback rather than the first step, and shaming the husband on social media (0) is inappropriate for an administrator to suggest.

Situation : Government has formulated a policy to ensure that each family in rural area of the State should have a toilet, as most diseases are caused by e-coli from human excreta carried through contaminated water. In spite of this, only 60% of rural families have toilets and only 50% of those use them, because the policy is 'construction oriented' and the element of educating and sensitizing people is missing. Question : If you are assigned a role of preparing a public awareness campaign, which of the following elements would you incorporate in order of priority in the design of the campaign : (a) Regular use of toilet reduces health hazards of open defecation. (b) Maintaining the ambience of the village. (c) Maintaining the dignity of the human being, particularly women folk. (d) Boost to farm productivity and economy

The policy exists because diseases spread through human excreta, so health (a) leads the campaign; the village environment (b) and the dignity of women (c) follow, and the farm-economy benefit (d) is the weakest motivator. MPSC gives full marks to the order a, b, c, d and 2 marks to a, c, b, d; leading with farm productivity (d first) gets zero.

You are a government representative and a member of a committee that has been given responsibility of selecting young artists for awarding two year government scholarships. An influential artist of high reputation is also a member on this committee as an expert. After studying the shortlisted artists for this prestigious state scholarship, another member brought to your notice that many artists are from the institute that is managed by this reputed artist or institutes that are managed by his past students. You would :

The concern is possible bias in the shortlist, so the fair fix is for the whole committee to re-examine the original list without bias, which corrects the selection without accusing anyone and earns full marks. Asking the artist alone to publish criteria (1.5) is weaker, dissolving the committee (1) overreacts, and staying silent now to expose him later (0) lets an unfair selection go ahead.

As an administrative incharge of a communally sensitive area, you are faced with a situation where the religious heads of both the communities have given inflammatory speeches thereby inciting violence amongst their respective communities. You would :

With violence being incited on both sides, bringing both religious heads together to negotiate peace defuses the situation at its source and earns full marks. Talking to them separately (1.5) is slower and less effective, arresting them at once (1) may inflame their followers, and waiting for instructions (0) abdicates responsibility in an emergency.

Situation : One major difference between the severe drought faced by the State in the year 1973 vis-a-vis year 2012-13 is, where as there was a food scarcity in 1973, the year 2012-13 reflects acute water scarcity. Thousands of villages do not have even adequate quantity, forget appropriate quality drinking water. Most Rabi crops could not simply be sown as the moisture in the soil is completely dried away. The chemical contamination like Nitrate, Fluoride is causing a grave concern even where water is available, which if consumed would lead to grave health hazards. Human survival till onset of the monsoon is the major concern. Question : Under such circumstances if you are entrusted with a responsibility to tackle the situation, which of the following options would you resort to, on priority to manage the immediate crisis. (a) Reserving all public and private water sources exclusively for drinking water purposes. (b) To strike a balance between farmers losing their income of Rabi Crops and also to ensure acute drinking water needs, 50-50 distribution plan for crop survival and drinking water. (c) As the poor farmers will be losing their only income source which may have severe economic consequences, crop production will be given priority and most of the water will be reserved for the agriculture purposes. (d) Even taking the risk of diseases people will be motivated to use chemically contaminated water for survival till onset of monsoon to save human life there being no alternative as diseases can be cured in due course.

The situation states that human survival till the monsoon is the major concern and that there is not even an adequate quantity of water in thousands of villages. MPSC's key gives full marks to (d): using even contaminated water for survival, since diseases can be treated later but lack of water cannot. The 50-50 plan (b) gets 2, reserving water only for drinking (a) gets 1.5, and prioritising crops over survival (c) gets zero.

तुमच्या मित्राने त्याचे दुकान एका दुकानदाराला भाड्याने दिले आणि त्या दुकानदाराने मागील एक वर्षापासून भाडे दिलेले नाही व आता तो दुकान रिकामेही करण्यास नकार देत आहे. दुकानदाराने तुमच्या मित्रास दुकान विकत देण्याची मागणी केली आहे परंतु दुकानदाराची खरेदी किंमत बाजार भावाच्या 50% आहे. दुकानदाराने त्याच्या ओळखीचा वापर करून पोलिसाकडे जाऊ नये म्हणून तुमच्या मित्राला धमकावले आहे. अशा परिस्थितीत तुम्ही एक पोलीस अधिकारी म्हणून कोणता सल्ला द्याल? Your friend has rented his shop to a shopkeeper and shopkeeper has not paid his rent for the last one year and now refuses to vacate his shop. Shopkeeper has offered to purchase that shop from him but only at 50% of the present market value. Shopkeeper uses his contacts and has threatened him of dire consequences if he lodges a police complaint. What kind of advice would you give to your friend as a police officer ?

As a police officer, filing a formal complaint against illegal occupation, non-payment of rent, and criminal intimidation is the lawful and correct course of action.

तुम्ही लोकसेवा आयोगाच्या मुलाखतीसाठी जात आहात. रस्त्यात झालेल्या अपघातात काही माणसे अडकलेली तुम्हाला दिसतात. अशा वेळी तुम्ही काय कराल ? Suppose you are going for Public Service Commission’s Interview. On the road you see an accident in which few men are stuck in. What will you do ?

Calling police and ambulance for help and personally waiting until help arrives shows responsibility, empathy, and immediate crisis management.
