How many times do the hands of a clock coincide in 24 hours?
- A.
22
- B.
24
- C.
26
- D.
28
Correct Answer
A. 22Explanation
In a 12-hour clock, the hour and minute hands coincide 11 times. However, in a 24-hour clock, the hands coincide an additional 11 times. This is because the hands coincide at each hour mark twice - once during the first 12 hours and again during the second 12 hours. Therefore, the total number of times the hands coincide in 24 hours is 11 + 11 = 22.Rate this question:

B is in the East of A which is in the North of C. If P is in the South of C, then in which direction of B, is P?
- A.
South-East
- B.
South-West
- C.
South
- D.
North
Correct Answer
B. South-WestExplanation
Based on the given information, we can conclude that B is east of A and A is north of C. Since P is south of C, it means that P is in the opposite direction of north, which is south. Furthermore, since B is east of A, and P is south of C, P must be in the southwest direction of B. Therefore, the correct answer is South-West.Rate this question:

In the following question, choose the correct code form. If ANY = 40, MANY = 53 then MANIAC = ?
- A.
41
- B.
42
- C.
43
- D.
44
- E.
45
Correct Answer
A. 41Explanation
The code form seems to be based on assigning a numerical value to each letter of the word, where A=1, B=2, C=3, and so on. By applying this pattern to the word MANIAC, we can assign the values M=13, A=1, N=14, I=9, A=1, and C=3. Adding up these values gives us 13+1+14+9+1+3=41, which matches the given answer.Rate this question:

Choose the odd pair of words
- A.
Profit-Loss
- B.
Virtue-Vice
- C.
Seduce-Attract
- D.
Wise-Foolish
Correct Answer
C. Seduce-AttractExplanation
The words in the pairs "Profit-Loss," "Virtue-Vice," and "Wise-Foolish" are all antonyms, meaning they have opposite meanings. However, "Seduce-Attract" is not an antonym pair. While "Attract" can have a positive connotation, "Seduce" typically implies manipulation or deception, making it a different type of relationship than the other pairs. Therefore, "Seduce-Attract" is the odd pair of words.Rate this question:

Section 2: Problem Solving / Numerical
- A.
$0.05
- B.
$0.10
- C.
$0.5
- D.
Cannot be determined
Correct Answer
A. $0.05Explanation
The ball costs $0.05. If we let the cost of the ball be x, then the cost of the bat would be x + $1. We know that the total cost of the bat and ball together is $1.10. So we can set up the equation x + (x + $1) = $1.10. Simplifying this equation, we get 2x + $1 = $1.10. Subtracting $1 from both sides, we get 2x = $0.10. Dividing both sides by 2, we find that x = $0.05, which is the cost of the ball.Rate this question:

In a small company, the average salary of three employees is $1000 per week. If one employee earns $1100 and the other earns $500, how much will the third employee earn?
- A.
$900
- B.
$1200
- C.
$1400
- D.
$1600
Correct Answer
C. $1400Explanation
The average salary of three employees is $1000 per week. If one employee earns $1100 and the other earns $500, the sum of their salaries is $1100 + $500 = $1600. To find the salary of the third employee, we subtract the sum of the salaries of the first two employees from the average salary of $1000 per week. Therefore, the third employee will earn $1000 - $1600 = $1400.Rate this question:

B. 105Explanation
The given sequence follows a pattern of decreasing numbers. Each number is obtained by subtracting a certain value from the previous number. The pattern seems to be subtracting 66, 55, 44, 33, and 22 successively. Therefore, to find the missing number, we subtract 11 from the previous number (127) which gives us 116. However, this does not match any of the given options. Hence, the correct answer is 105, which is the only option that follows the pattern of decreasing by 11.Rate this question:

- A.
15
- B.
13
- C.
17
- D.
11
Correct Answer
A. 15Explanation
The pattern in the given sequence is that each number is obtained by adding 2 to the previous number. For example, 1 + 2 = 3, 3 + 2 = 5, 5 + 2 = 7, and so on. Therefore, to find the missing number, we need to add 2 to the previous number in the sequence. In this case, 4 + 2 = 6, so the missing number is 6. However, none of the options given match this result, so the correct answer is not available.Rate this question:

A two-digit number is three times the sum of its digits. If 45 is added to it, the digits are reversed. The number is
- A.
23
- B.
32
- C.
27
- D.
72
Correct Answer
C. 27Explanation
Let's assume the two-digit number as 10x + y, where x and y represent the tens and units digits respectively. According to the given information, the number is three times the sum of its digits, so we can write the equation as 10x + y = 3(x + y). Simplifying this equation, we get 7x = 2y. Additionally, if 45 is added to the number, the digits are reversed, so we can write another equation as 10y + x + 45 = 10x + y. Simplifying this equation, we get 9x - 9y = 45. Solving these two equations simultaneously, we find that x = 9 and y = 3, which gives us the number 27. Therefore, the correct answer is 27.Rate this question:

Section 3: Algorithm & Programming For a binary search algorithm to work, it is necessary that the array (list) must be
- A.
Sorted
- B.
Unsorted
- C.
In a heap
- D.
Popped out of stack
Correct Answer
A. SortedExplanation
For a binary search algorithm to work, it is necessary that the array (list) must be sorted. This is because binary search relies on dividing the array in half and comparing the target value with the middle element. If the array is not sorted, the algorithm cannot accurately determine which half of the array to search in, leading to incorrect results. Therefore, sorting the array beforehand is essential for the binary search algorithm to function correctly.Rate this question:

Which of the below-mentioned sorting algorithms are not stable?
- A.
Selection Sort
- B.
Bubble Sort
- C.
Merge Sort
- D.
Insertion Sort
Correct Answer
A. Selection SortExplanation
Selection Sort is not a stable sorting algorithm because it does not preserve the relative order of elements with equal keys. In selection sort, the smallest element is repeatedly selected and swapped with the element in the current position, which can lead to the rearrangement of elements with equal keys. Therefore, Selection Sort is not stable.Rate this question:

What will be the output? int main() { int x = 10; { int x = 0; printf("%d",x); } return 0; }
- A.
10
- B.
Compilation error
- C.
0
- D.
Undefined
Correct Answer
C. 0Explanation
The output of the code will be 0. This is because there is a nested block within the main function that declares a new variable x and initializes it to 0. When the printf statement is executed within this nested block, it will print the value of this inner x, which is 0. The outer x variable with the value of 10 is not accessible within the nested block.Rate this question:

0
- C.
Compilation error
- D.
Undefined
Correct Answer
B. 0Explanation
The code declares a variable "x" with a value of 10 outside the main function, and another variable "x" with a value of 0 inside the main function. When the printf statement is executed, it prints the value of the variable "x" inside the main function, which is 0. Therefore, the output will be 0.Rate this question:

What should be the output? int main() { int a = 10/3; printf("%d",a); return 0; }
- A.
3.33
- B.
3.0
- C.
3
- D.
0
Correct Answer
C. 3Explanation
The output of this code will be 3. This is because when the expression 10/3 is evaluated, the result is an integer division, which truncates the decimal part and only keeps the whole number. Therefore, the value of 'a' will be 3. When the value of 'a' is printed using the "%d" format specifier, it will be displayed as 3.Rate this question:
