HERE IS A SAMPLE TEST

                                                    There are 7 questions

 

Q 1) If  a:b = 2:3    and    b: c = 6: 7, then a:b:c equals                               

        A)  3:4:5                       B) 4:6:7                     C)  1:2:3                       D) 5:6:7 

Q 2) A paper is in form of a rectangle ABCD in which AB = 20 cm and BC = 14 cm. A semicircular  

         portion with BC  as diameter is cut of. The area of the remaining portion is 

       A) 20  ´ 14 - p(14)²    B) 20´ 14 – 2 p(14 )   C) 20´ 14 –p ( 7)²       D) none 

Q 3) If two dice are thrown, what is the probability that atleast one of the dice show a number greater than 3.        

       A) 1/.2                         B)  6/7                        C) 5/6                           D) ¾ 

Q 4) 

What is printed in STEP 4 when the program below is executed

 

          STEP 1      X = 150, Y = 100

          STEP 2      If (2X >3Y)

                             then   X     X+Y

                             else    X    X - Y

         STEP 3       If (( X > 200) and ( Y < 50))

                             Then   X     X/Y

                              Else    X        XY

        STEP 4           Print the value of X.
