I had chosen basic math in class 10th I am currently studying in class 11 from humanities stream using basic math will affect my SSC eligibility criteria criteria and other state services exams and UPSC as well

Nitin Kumar 23rd May, 2024

Choosing basic math in class 10th will likely not affect your eligibility for most SSC exams, other state services exams, and UPSC as long as you meet the specific math requirement for the desired post.

Many SSC exams, like SSC CGL or CHSL, have a minimum educational qualification requirement that specifies a Bachelor's degree in any discipline. Math in 10th standard usually doesn't play a role in these exams.


Eligibility criteria for state services exams vary, but most focus on the educational qualification required for the specific post. Math from 10th might not be a factor.

UPSC Civil Services Exam (CSE) requires a Bachelor's degree. Math from 10th doesn't affect eligibility.

i completed my graduation in 2022 but still have a backlog in which passed date is of year 2024 so what passing year should i mention in exam fom or ssc cpo, 2022 or 2024?

shivamtrivedi0005 5th Mar, 2024

Hii There,

In this case, since you completed your graduation in 2022, you should mention the passing year as 2022 in your exam forms or SSC CPO application. The passing year refers to the year in which you completed your degree, not the year in which you cleared any backlog subjects.

I hope this answers your question.

Thanks

Question : Comprehension:
In the following passage, some words have been deleted. Read the passage carefully and select the most appropriate option to fill in each blank.
Last week, I made the mistake of revisiting the village where I grew up. It used to be a small, friendly community with two farms and a number of old cottages around the village green. I realised very quickly that although in (1)_______ ways it appears unchanged, in reality hardly anything is the same. All the pretty cottages are there, of course, and both the traditional farmhouses. (2)_______, none of the inhabitants are country people. All of them are commuters, who leave early every morning for the nearby town. Neither of the farmhouses is attached to a farm these days; the land (3)_______ and is managed by somebody in an office somewhere who has little interest in the village (4)_______. There are a few new houses but, they have no local character. You can see the same style anywhere in the country. The whole village, (5)_______, has been tidied up so much that it looks no more picturesque than any suburban street.

Question:
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank number 3.

Option 1: had been sold

Option 2: sells

Option 3: sold

Option 4: has been sold

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: has been sold


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation: The phrase "the land has been sold" is in the present perfect tense. In the context of the passage, this tense is suitable because it conveys a connection between a past action (the sale of the land) and the present state (the land being managed by somebody in an office). The present perfect tense indicates relevance to the current situation.

So, the complete sentence would be: "Neither of the farmhouses is attached to a farm these days; the land has been sold and is managed by somebody in an office somewhere who has little interest in the village."

Question : E, F, G, and H are four points lying on the circumference of a circle to make a cyclic quadrilateral. If $\angle {FGH}=57^{\circ}$, then what will be the measure of the $\angle {HEF}$?

Option 1: $33^{\circ}$

Option 2: $123^{\circ}$

Option 3: $93^{\circ}$

Option 4: $143^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $123^{\circ}$


Solution :
E, F, G, and H form a cyclic quadrilateral.
$\angle {FGH}=57^{\circ}$
In a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of opposite angles is 180$^\circ$.
So, $\angle {FGH} + \angle {HEF} = 180^\circ$
⇒ $57^{\circ} + \angle {HEF} = 180^\circ$
⇒ $\angle {HEF} = 180^\circ- 57^{\circ} = 123^\circ$
Hence, the correct answer is $123^\circ$.

Question : Wilting of plants occurs due to excessive :

Option 1: respiration

Option 2: guttation

Option 3: absorption

Option 4: transpiration

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: transpiration


Solution : The correct option is transpiration.

Plant wilting is generally caused by excessive transpiration. Transpiration is the mechanism by which plants remove water vapour through tiny pores called stomata in their leaves. When transpiration rates surpass the plant's ability to absorb water from the soil via its roots, turgidity (the hardness of plant cells) is lost, resulting in wilting, in which the leaves and stems become limp and droop.

Question : Equal sum of money are lent to X and Y at 7.5% per annum for 4 years and 5 years respectively. If the difference in interest, paid by them was Rs. 150, the sum lent to each was:

Option 1: Rs. 500

Option 2: Rs. 1000

Option 3: Rs. 2000

Option 4: Rs. 3000

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 2000


Solution : Let the sum be $\text{P}$ for both cases.
Time = 5 years and 4 years.
Difference = 150
According to the question:
By using the formula of Simple Interest: SI = $\frac{\text{P×R×T}}{100}$ where $P$ is principal, $T$ is time in years and $R$ is the rate of interest per annum.
$\frac{\text{P×7.5×5}}{100}-\frac{\text{P×7.5×4}}{100}$ = 150
⇒ $\frac{\text{7.5P}}{100}$ = 150
⇒ $\text{P}$ = Rs. 2000
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 2000.
