GATE 2022 General Aptitude (GA) Q.1 – Q.5 Carry ONE mark each. | Q.1 | Inhaling the smoke from a burning could you quickly. | | --- | --- | | (A) | tire / tier | | (B) | tire / tyre | | (C) | tyre / tire | | (D) | tyre / tier | | Q.2 | A sphere of radius 􀝎 cm is packed in a box of cubical shape.
What should be the minimum volume (in cm3 ) of the box that can enclose the sphere? | | --- | --- | | (A) | 􀝎 ଷ 8 | | (B) | 􀝎 ଷ | | (C) | 2􀝎ଷ | | (D) | 8􀝎ଷ | | | | | --- | --- | | Q.3 | Pipes P and Q can fill a storage tank in full with water in 10 and 6 minutes, respectively. Pipe R draws the water out from the storage tank at a rate of 34 litres per minute. P, Q and R operate at a constant rate.
If it takes one hour to completely empty a full storage tank with all the pipes operating simultaneously, what is the capacity of the storage tank (in litres)? | | (A) | 26.8 | | (B) | 60.0 | | (C) | 120.0 | | (D) | 127.5 | | Q.4 | Six persons P, Q, R, S, T and U are sitting around a circular table facing the center not necessarily in the same order. Consider the following statements:
􀁸 P sits next to S and T.
􀁸 Q sits diametrically opposite to P.
􀁸 The shortest distance between S and R is equal to the shortest distance between T and U.
Based on the above statements, Q is a neighbor of | | --- | --- | | (A) | U and S | | (B) | R and T | | (C) | R and U | | (D) | P and S | | Q.5 | A building has several rooms and doors as shown in the top view of the building given below. The doors are closed initially.
What is the minimum number of doors that need to be opened in order to go from the point P to the point Q?
| | --- | --- | | (A) | 4 | | (B) | 3 | | (C) | 2 | | (D) | 1 | Q. 6 – Q. 10 Carry TWO marks each. | Q.6 | Rice, a versatile and inexpensive source of carbohydrate, is a critical component of diet worldwide. Climate change, causing extreme weather, poses a threat to sustained availability of rice. Scientists are working on developing Green Super Rice (GSR), which is resilient under extreme weather conditions yet gives higher yields sustainably.
Which one of the following is the CORRECT logical inference based on the information given in the above passage? | | --- | --- | | (A) | GSR is an alternative to regular rice, but it grows only in an extreme weather | | (B) | GSR may be used in future in response to adverse effects of climate change | | (C) | GSR grows in an extreme weather, but the quantity of produce is lesser than regular rice | | (D) | Regular rice will continue to provide good yields even in extreme weather | | Q.7 | A game consists of spinning an arrow around a stationary disk as shown below. When the arrow comes to rest, there are eight equally likely outcomes. It could
come to rest in any one of the sectors numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 as shown. Two such disks are used in a game where their arrows are independently spun. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers on the resulting sectors upon spinning the two disks is equal to 8 after the arrows come to rest?
| | | --- | --- | --- | | (A) | 1
16 | | | (B) | 5
64 | | | (C) | 3
32 | | | (D) | | 7

(i) 3􀝌 − 􀝍 < 4
(ii) 3􀝍 − 􀝌 < 12
Which one of the following expressions below satisfies the above two inequalities? | | --- | --- | | (A) | 􀝌 + 􀝍 < 8 | | (B) | 􀝌 + 􀝍 = 8 | | (C) | 8 ≤ 􀝌 + 􀝍 < 16 | | (D) | 􀝌 + 􀝍 ≥ 16 | | Q.9 | Given below are three statements and four conclusions drawn based on the statements.
Statement 1: Some engineers are writers.
Statement 2: No writer is an actor.
Statement 3: All actors are engineers.
Conclusion I: Some writers are engineers.
