Q1. The arranging of data in a logical sequence is called____.
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Sorting refers to arranging data in a particular format. Sorting algorithm specifies the way to arrange data in a particular order.

Q2. In the adjoining figure, if the centres of all the circles are joined by horizontal and vertical lines, then find the number of squares that can be formed.

Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

The figure may be labelled as shown.

We shall join the centres of all the circles by horizontal and vertical lines and then label the resulting figure as shown.

The simplest squares are ABED, BCFE, DEHG, EFIH, GHKJ and HILK i.e. 6 in number.

The squares composed of four simple squares are ACIG and DFLJ i.e. 2 in number.

Thus, 6 + 2 = 8 squares will be formed.


Q3. Directions: Below in each question are given two statements (A) and (B). These statements may be either independent causes or may be effects of independent causes or a common cause. One of these statements may be the affect of the other statement Read both the statements and then decide which of the following answer choice correctly depicts the relationship between these two statements.
(A) There has been mass recruitment of IT professionals by Indian IT companies. 
(B) Many developed countries are increasingly outsourcing IT related functions to India and China.
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Statement (B) is the cause and (A) is its effect, because many developed countries are increasingly outsourcing IT related functions to India and as a result India IT companies have been recruiting huge of professionals.

Q6.

Count the number of triangles and squares in the given figure.

Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

The figure may be labelled as shown.

Triangles :

The simplest triangles are BPN, PNE, ABM, EFG, MLK, GHI, QRO, RSO, STO and QTO i.e. 10 in number.

The triangles composed of two components each are BPE, TQR, QRS, RST and STQ i.e. 5 in number.

The triangles composed of three components each are MPO and GPO i.e. 2 in number.

The triangles composed of six components each are LPJ, HPJ and MPG i.e. 3 in number.

There is only one triangle LPH composed of twelve components.

Total number of triangles in the figure = 10 + 5 - 2 + 3 + 1 = 21.

Squares :

The squares composed of two components each are KJOM and JIGQ i.e. 2 in number.

The squares composed of three components each are ANOM, NFGO and CDEB i.e.3 in number.

There is only one square i.e. QRST composed of four components.

There is only one square i.e. AFIK composed of ten components.

Total number of squares in the figure = 2 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 7.

Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q9. __helps in capturing raw data and entering into computer system.
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q10.

Count the number of squares in the given figure.

Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

The figure may be labelled as shown.

The squares composed of two components each are BNQM, CORN, DPSO, MQTL, NRUQ, OSVR, PFWS, QUJT, RVIU and SWHV i.e. 10 in number.

The squares composed of four components each are ABQL, BCRQ, CDSR, DEFS, LQJK, QRIJ, RSHI and SFGH i.e. 8 in number.

The squares composed of eight components each are BRJL, CSIQ and DFHR i.e. 3 in number.

The squares composed of sixteen components each are ACIK, BDHJ and CEGI i.e. 3 in number.

Thus, there are 10 + 8 + 3 + 3 = 24 squares in the figure.
