Staff Selection Commission Sub Inspector Exam
Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the fifth letter cluster in the same way as the second letter cluster is related to the first letter cluster and the fourth letter cluster is related to the third letter cluster. DUNE : BGSXLQCH :: NEED : LQCHCHBG :: KING : ?
Option 1: GLLQEJIN
Option 2: NGLLQEJI
Option 3: INGLLQEJ
Option 4: LLQEJING
Correct Answer: INGLLQEJ
Solution : Given: DUNE : BGSXLQCH :: NEED : LQCHCHBG :: KING : ?
Subtract 2 and add 3 to the place value of each letter of DUNE and NEED to get the related letter clusters. DUNE→D – 2 = B; D + 3 = G; U – 2 = S; U + 3 = X; N – 2 = L; N + 3 = Q; E – 2 = C; E + 3 = H Thus, DUNE is related to BGSXLQCH. NEED→N – 2 = L; N + 3 = Q; E – 2 = C; E + 3 = H; E – 2 = C; E + 3 = H; D – 2 = B; D + 3 = G Thus, NEED is related to LQCHCHBG. Similarly, follow the same pattern for KING – K – 2 = I; K + 3 = N; I – 2 = G; I + 3 = L; N – 2 = L; N + 3 = Q; G – 2 = E; G + 3 = J
So, KING is related to INGLLQEJ. Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : An article is sold at a discount of 25% and an additional discount of 28% is allowed on cash payment. If Ramendra purchased the article by paying INR 10,800 in cash, then what was the marked price of the article?
Option 1: INR 19,800
Option 2: INR 20,800
Option 3: INR 20,000
Option 4: INR 18,000
Correct Answer: INR 20,000
Solution : Given, Two discounts are 25% and 28% Selling price of shopkeeper = INR 10,800 Let the market price of the article be INR $x$. According to the question, M.P × (100 – D1)% × (100 – D2)% = S.P $x$ × (100 – 25)% × (100 – 28)% = 10800 $x\times\frac{75}{100}\times\frac{72}{100}=10800$ ⇒ $x=\frac{10800\times100\times100}{75\times72}$ ⇒ $x=20000$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 20,000.
Question : Directions: The interchange of signs and numbers would make the given equation correct. 6 + 2 – 3 = 16
Option 1: + and –, 2 and 3
Option 2: × and +, 3 and 2
Option 3: ÷ and –, 3 and 2
Option 4: × and –, 2 and 3
Correct Answer: × and +, 3 and 2
Solution : Given: 6 + 2 – 3 = 16
Replace the given symbols and numbers in the options one by one with the original symbols and numbers in the given equation. First option: + and –, 2 and 3 ⇒ 6 – 3 + 2 = 16 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 8 – 3 = 5 ≠ 16 Second option: × and +, 3 and 2 ⇒ 6 × 3 – 2 = 16 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 18 – 2 = 16 Third option: ÷ and –, 3 and 2 ⇒ 6 + 3 ÷ 2 = 16 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 6 + 1.5 = 7.5 ≠ 16 Fourth option: × and –, 2 and 3 ⇒ 6 + 3 × 2 = 16 Solving the L.H.S. of the equation – = 6 + 6 = 12 ≠ 16
Here, only the second option satisfies the R.H.S. of the given equation. Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : Who among the following was not associated with "Prarthana Sabha"?
Option 1: Govind Ranade
Option 2: Atmaram Pandurang
Option 3: R.G. Bhandarkar
Option 4: Motilal Nehru
Correct Answer: Motilal Nehru

Motilal Nehru, on the other hand, was a prominent figure in the Indian National Congress and a key political leader, in the independence movement.
Question : $\left (0.\overline{11} + 0.\overline{22} \right) × 3$ is equal to:
Option 1: $3$
Option 2: $1.\overline{9}$
Option 3: $1$
Option 4: $0.\overline{3}$
Correct Answer: $1$
Solution : Given: $\left (0.\overline{11} + 0.\overline{22} \right )\times3$ The fraction form of $0.\overline{11} = \frac{11}{99} = \frac{1}{9}$ The fraction form of $0.\overline{22} = \frac{22}{99} = \frac{2}{9}$ $\left ( 0.\overline{11}+0.\overline{22} \right )\times3 = \left (\frac{1}{9} + \frac{2}{9} \right) \times3 = \frac{1}{3}\times 3 = 1$ Hence, the correct answer is $1$.
Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word. (The words must be considered meaningful words and must not be related to each other based on the number of letters/number of consonants/vowels in the word.) Butterfly : Caterpillar :: Insect : ?
Option 1: Cygnet
Option 2: Nymph
Option 3: Larva
Option 4: Microbes
Correct Answer: Larva
Solution : Given: Butterfly : Caterpillar :: Insect : ?
The second term is the initial phase of the first term – Like in, Butterfly : Caterpillar→The caterpillar is the initial evolving phase of a butterfly. Similarly, follow the same pattern for Insect : ?→The larva is the initial evolving phase of an insect.
So, the larva is related to the insect in the same way as the caterpillar is related to the butterfly. Hence, the third option is correct.
Question : The name of the longest muscle in the human body is
Option 1: Sartorius muscle
Option 2: Masseter muscle
Option 3: Stapedius muscle
Option 4: Gluteus maximus muscle
Correct Answer: Sartorius muscle
Solution : The correct option is the Sartorius muscle.
The sartorius muscle is the longest in the human body. The sartorius muscle goes from the hip to the knee and is involved in hip joint flexion, abduction, and rotation, as well as knee joint flexion, and rotation. It is known as the "tailor's muscle" because it crosses one leg over the other when sitting in a cross-legged stance, which is similar to the posture used by tailors.
Question : Directions: In the question, a part of the sentence is in bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part at (1), (2), and (3) that may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, your answer is (4).
Call in this evening, if you can, I have something important to discuss.
(1) called in
(2) call off
(3) call for
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (4)
Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option, as no improvement is required since the sentence is grammatically accurate.
"Call in" means to telephone someone, especially at a workplace.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
"Called in" is in the past tense and is incorrect as the sentence is in the present tense.
"Call off" means to cancel an event or agreement, which is incorrect.
"Call for" means to make something necessary, which is also incorrect.
Question : Endoplasmic Reticulum is rough because of _____ present on their surface.
Option 1: Golgi bodies
Option 2: Plastids
Option 3: Lysosomes
Option 4: Ribosomes
Correct Answer: Ribosomes
Solution : The correct option is Ribosomes.
When the cytoplasmic surface of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is covered with Ribosomes, it is referred to as "rough". When seen under a microscope, these ribosomes give the rough endoplasmic reticulum its distinctive look. The presence of ribosomes on the rough ER suggests that this region of the ER is engaged in protein synthesis.
Question : Directions: Four different positions of dice are shown below. What number is opposite to face 3?
Option 1: 4
Option 2: 3
Option 3: 2
Option 4: 6
Correct Answer: 4
Solution : In Figure 1 and Figure 3, two faces 3 and 6 are common. So, the remaining numbers on the dice are 2 and 1. So, 2 and 1 are the opposite faces of each other in the given dice.
In Figure 3 and Figure 4, two faces 3 and 1 are common. So, the remaining numbers on the dice are 6 and 5. So, 6 and 5 are the opposite faces of each other in the given dice.
The opposite faces are –
So, 4 is the opposite of face 3. Hence, the first option is correct.
