SSC MTS Previous Year GA Questions for a Quick Revision
1.) How many triangles are there in the given figure?
a.) Eight
b.) Nine
c.) Ten
d.) More than Ten
Answer: d)
Solution:
Triangles: ABF, ABG, HBG, GHF, BGF, FHE, BFD, EID, CID, IBC, BCD, GFE, CED
So, there are more than ten triangles in the given figure.
Hence, option d.
2.) Which among the following words can be formed using the letters of the given word only once?
TROUBLESOME
a.) TROUT
b.) BLEAKS
c.) RUBLE
d.) BLOSSOM
Answer: c)
Solution:
Given word:
TROUBLESOME
TROUT = Only one ‘T’ is present in the word, so it cannot be formed using these letters.
BLEAKS = As there is no ‘A’ and ‘K’ in the word, so it cannot be formed using these letters.
RUBLE = It can be formed using these letters.
BLOSSOM = Only one ‘S’ is present in the word, so it cannot be formed using these letters.
Hence, option c.
3.) If in a certain code language ‘SELDOM’ is coded as ‘MFNCMS’ and ‘GIVERS’ is coded as ‘SJXDPG’ then ‘DELUXE’ is coded as in the same code language?
a.) EFMTVD
b.) DFNTVD
c.) EFNTVD
d.) EFNTVE
Answer: c)
Solution:
The words are coded as:
The first and last letter of the words are interchanged with each other.
2nd letter from left end = Replaced by its next letter in the English Alphabetical series.
Ex ‘E’ is replaced with ‘F’.
3rd letter from the left end = Replaced by its 2nd next letter in the English Alphabetical series.
Ex- ‘L is replaced by ‘N’.
4th letter from the left end = Replaced by its previous letter in the English Alphabetical series.
Ex- ‘D’ is replaced with ‘C’.
5th letter from the left end = Replaced by its 2nd previous letter in the English Alphabetical series.
Ex- ‘O’ is replaced with ‘M’.
So,
‘SELDOM’ is coded as ‘MFNCMS’
‘GIVERS’ is coded as ‘SJXDPG’
Similarly,
‘DELUXE’ is coded as ‘EFNTVD’.
Hence, option c.
4.) If ‘TREMORS’ is written as ‘@54#75B’ and ‘FIGURES’ is written as ‘&3%S54B’ then ‘FEMURS’ is written as?
a.) &4@S5B
b.) &4#S5B
c.) &5#S4B
d.) &4%S5B
Answer: b)
Solution:
| T | R | E | M | O | R | S | F | I | G | U |
| @ | 5 | 4 | # | 7 | 5 | B | & | 3 | % | S |
As ‘TREMORS’ is written as ‘@54#75B’.
As ‘FIGURES’ is written as ‘&3%S54B’.
So, ‘FEMURS’ will be written as ‘&4#S5B’.
Hence, option b.
5.) In the question below some statements are given followed by two conclusions I, and II. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion definitely follows from the given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.
Statements:
All Fun are Masti
No Masti are Enjoy
Some Enjoy are Party
Conclusions:
I. Some Fun can never be Enjoy
II. Some Partybeing Masti is a possibility
a.) Only conclusion I follows
b.) Only conclusion II follows
c.) Both conclusions I and II follow
d.) Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Answer: c)
Solution:
We draw the following figure:
From the figure we get both conclusions I and II follow.
Hence, option c.
6.) If ‘A’ means (×), ‘B’ means (÷), ‘C’ means (+), and ‘D’ means (-), then what is the value of the expression:
24 B 3 A 5 A 6 B 12 C 5 D 11
a.) 6
b.) 14
c.) 48
d.) 55
Answer: b)
Solution:
Given expression:
24 B 3 A 5 A 6 B 12 C 5 D 11
Replacing letters with the signs in the expression:
24 ÷ 3 × 5 × 6 ÷ 12 + 5 – 11
By using rule of BODMAS, we get:
24 ÷ 3 × 5 × 6 ÷ 12 + 5 – 11
= 8 × 5 × 0.5 + 5 – 11
= 20 + 5 – 11
= 25 – 11
= 14.
Hence, option b.
7.) How many alphabets are in the following sequence that are immediately preceded by a symbol, and immediately followed by a number?
# T 4 D 5 H % J 3 + V @ M 7 6 # S 9 F A @ 2 % X
a.) Three
b.) Five
c.) Four
d.) Two
Answer: c)
Solution:
Given arrangements:
# T 4 D 5 H % J 3 + V @ M 7 6 # S 9 F A @ 2 % X
There are four such alphabets which are immediately preceded by a symbol, and immediately followed by a number.
Hence, option c.
8.) Select the one who does not belong to the same group from the given alternatives:
a.) Monster
b.) Mammoth
c.) Behemoth
d.) Miniature
Answer: d)
Solution:
All words are synonyms of Giant (Large) except for Miniature, which means very small of its kind.
Hence, option d.
9.) In the following question, what will come in the place of question mark?
| 13 | 12 | -3 |
| 24 | 28 | -8 |
| 34 | 21 | ? |
a.) -3
b.) -4
c.) 9
d.) 0
Answer: d)
Solution:
The pattern followed here is:
The 1st digit of 1st number in each row is added to the 1st digit of the 2nd number of that row, similarly, the 2nd digit of 1st number in each row is added to the 2nd digit of the 2nd number of that row, and the difference of both resultant is written.
In row 1 = (1 + 1) – (3 + 2) = (2 – 5) = -3.
In row 2 = (2 + 2) – (4 + 8) = (4 – 12) = -8
In row 3 = (3 + 2) – (4 + 1) = (5 – 5) = 0.
Hence, option d.
10.) Select the related number/word/letter from the given alternatives:
PICSART: SCIPTAR::____: GNIFSER
a.) DIFFERS
b.) BANKERS
c.) FINGERS
d.) SNIPERS
Answer: c)
Solution:
PICSART is written as SCIPTAR, similarly:
DIFFERS is written as FFIDSER.
BANKERS is written as KNABSER.
FINGERS is written as GNIFSER.
SNIPERS is written as PINSSER.
Hence, option c.
11.) A series is given with two terms missing. Choose the correct alternatives from the given ones that will complete the series.
18, 35, 51, 66, 80, ____, ____.
a.) 82, 104
b.) 83, 95
c.) 93, 105
d.) 81, 105
Answer: c)
Solution:
The series is (18 + 17) = 35, (35 + 16) = 51, (51 + 15) = 66, (66 + 14) = 80, (80 + 13) = 93, (93 + 12) = 105.
So, 93 and 105 will come in the blank respectively.
Hence, option c.
12.) Identify the mirror image of the following figure when the mirror is placed to the right of the figure.
a.)
b.)
c.)
d.)
Answer: c)
Solution:
If mirror is placed to the right of the figure.
Hence, option c.
13.) Select the related number from the given alternatives:
3510:___:: 3704 : 2744
a.) 512
b.) 1000
c.) 729
d.) 1331
Answer: c)
Solution:
The digits of the numbers are added, and then its cube is written.
So, 3740 = (3 + 7 + 0 + 4) = 14, cube of ‘14’ is ‘2744’.
So, 3510 = (3 + 5 + 1 + 0) = 9, cube of ‘9’ is ‘729’.
Hence, option c.
14.) Looking at a picture of a man in a photograph, Golu said that man is the only son of my mother’s only daughter? If Golu is a male, then how is Golu’s brother related to the man in the photograph?
a.) Brother
b.) Father
c.) Grandfather
d.) None of the above
Answer: d)
Solution:
We make the following family tree:
Clearly, Golu’s brother is the maternal uncle of the man in the photograph.
Hence, option d.
15.) Which one of the given mathematical operations will result in 83?
a.) 35 × 5 ÷ 5 + 22 + 2 + 3
b.) 35 ÷ 5 × 5 + 22 × 2 – 3
c.) 35 + 5 × 5 + 22 – 2 + 3
d.) 35 – 5 + 5 + 22 × 2 + 3
Answer: c)
Solution:
From option (a): we get
35 × 5 ÷ 5 + 22 + 2 + 3
= (35 × 1 + 22 + 2 + 3)
= (35 + 27)
= 62
From option (b): we get
35 ÷ 5 × 5 + 22 × 2 – 3
= (7 × 5 + 44 – 3)
= (35 + 44 – 3)
= (79 – 3)
= 76.
From option (c): we get
35 + 5 × 5 + 22 – 2 + 3
= (35 + 25 + 22 – 2 + 3)
= (60 + 22 – 2 + 3)
= (85 – 2)
= 83.
From option (d): we get
35 – 5 + 5 + 22 × 2 + 3
= (35 – 5 + 5 + 44 + 3)
= (87 – 5)
= 82.
Hence, option c.
