Q:

What is the minimum number of colour pencils required to fill the spaces in the below figure
with no two adjacent spaces have the same colour ?

A) 5 B) 2

C) 3 D) 6

Answer & ExplanationAnswer: C) 3

Explanation:
 The given figure can be labelled as shown :

The spaces P, Q and R have to be shaded by three different colours definitely (since each of
these three spaces lies adjacent to the other two).
Now, in order that no two adjacent spaces be shaded by the same colour, the spaces T, U and
S must be shaded with the colours of the spaces P, Q and R respectively.
Also the spaces X, V and W must be shaded with the colours of the spaces S, T and U
respectively i.e. with the colours of the spaces R, P and Q respectively. Thus, minimum three
colour pencils are required.

Q:

A university library budget committee must reduce exactly five of eight areas of
expenditure—I, J, K, L, M, N, O and P—in accordance with the following conditions:
If both I and O are reduced, P is also reduced.
If L is reduced, neither N nor O is reduced.
If M is reduced, J is not reduced.
Of the three areas J, K, and N exactly two are reduced.

Question :
If both K and N are reduced, which one of the following is a pair of areas neither of which
could be reduced?

A) I, L B) J, L

C) J, M D) I, J

Answer & ExplanationAnswer: B) J, L

Explanation:

This question concerns a committee’s decision about which five of eight areas of expenditure
to reduce. The question requires you to suppose that K and N are among the areas that are to
be reduced, and then to determine which pair of areas could not also be among the five areas
that are reduced.
The fourth condition given in the passage on which this question is based requires that
exactly two of K, N, and J are reduced. Since the question asks us to suppose that both K and
N are reduced, we know that J must not be reduced:
Reduced :: K, N
Not reduced :: J
The second condition requires that if L is reduced, neither N nor O is reduced. So L and N
cannot both be reduced. Here, since N is reduced, we know that L cannot be. Thus, adding
this to what we’ve determined so far, we know that J and L are a pair of areas that cannot
both be reduced if both K and N are reduced:
 Reduced :: K, N
Not reduced :: J, L
Answer choice (B) is therefore the correct answer.

Q:

What is Latus Rectum of Parabola?

A) line segment B) vertex

C) focus D) major axis

Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) line segment

Explanation:

As parabola is a locus of a point, which moves so that its distance from focus and directrix is
always equal.

The latus rectum of a conic section is the chord (line segment) that passes through the focus,
is perpendicular to the major axis and has both endpoints on the curve. The length of the
latus rectum is determined differently for each conic.
 The length of a parabola's latus rectum is 4p, where p is the distance from the focus to the
vertex.

A) K & L will B) K is not there,

always be then L will not be
together there

C) k is there, then D) K & L will

L will also be always be not
there together

Answer & ExplanationAnswer: C) k is there, then L will also be there

Explanation:

This would not mean that K and L will always be together. It just implies that, if K is there,
then Lwill also be there.
At the same time, it can happen that L is there but K isn't.
Remember, the condition is on K, not on L.

How many blocks in a mile?

A) 8 - 12 B) 12 - 15

C) 8 - 15 D) 15 - 20

Answer & ExplanationAnswer: D) 15 - 20

Explanation:

About 15 - 20 blocks become a 1 mile. City blocks differ in sizes. They do not have a standard
measurement. Every geographical area has its own average city block size.
A city block is a rectangular area in a city with several buildings with the streets around. It is
also called "block" which, in a dictionary, is defined as an informal unit of distance from one
intersection to the next.
