Fake Vacancy of Postal Assistant/ Shorting Assistant on www.indiapost.net.in

Fake Vacancy of Postal Assistant/ Shorting Assistant on www.indiapost.net.in

Dear Friends a fake website is registered with domain www.indiapost.net.in. and shows a recruitment of Postal Assistant/ Shorting Assistant. This is a way of cheating unemployment youth. The fee structure is given here Rs . 400/- and Rs. 150/- This will be waste for every candidate because there is no such vacancy of Postal Assistant and Shorting Assistant. Department of Posts should take necessary action regarding this.

How can we say it fake:-

  1. At present SSC organise the exam of Postal Assistant/ Shorting Assistant with SSC Combined Higher Secondary Exam.
  2. India Post official website is www.indiapost.gov.in
  3. In fake website the grade pay of Postal Assistant Shorting Assistant is shown 1900 - 2400 but this is wrong manner of showing grade pay. The Grade Pay of PA/ SA is 2400.
Hence, aware all of you please circulate this information with all of your friends and staff. So money and time may be saved.

Please share this information on social media as you can.

3       In  a  school  with  600 students  ,  the  average  age  of  the  boys  is  12  years    and  that  of  Girls
  is  11 years  .  if  the  average  age of  the  school is  11 years  and  9  months   then  the  number
  of  girls    in  the  school  is 

A 450       b  250       c  150    d  350

Let  the number  of  Girls  be  X  ,   Then  number  of  boys  = (600-x)
(11 4/3 * 600 )  =  11 x  12 (600-x)   
X=7200-7050      =150          Answer  c  150
4       Ram  bought  a  cycle  and  sold  it  for   Rs  4550 which  is  30 %  more  than  this  original  price  .  What  is  the  original price  of  the  cycle 
          A  3500/-           b  3800/-           c 3600/-          d  3400/-

Let cost price (C.P.) = 100.     Profit = 30 %.     Selling price (S.P.) =  (100 + 30)   = 130.

If selling price (S.P.) is  130, then cost price (C.P.) is  100.

If selling price (S.P.) is  1, then cost price (C.P.) is $ (
100/130).

If selling price (S.P.) is  4550, then cost price (C.P.) is  (
100 /130 × 4550)= 3500   Answer   A 3500/-

              A 843        b  847       c  800       d  None of these 

Let  the  no  of  parrots    is  assumed  as  X
Total  number  of  animals  =  858 
Total  tigers  = 858-x        Total  legs  =  2x=4(858-x)=1746
=2x+3432-4x=1746       2x=3432-1746=1686      X=1686/2=843      Answer  a    843

              A 3:3:10      B  23:33:60          C  20:22:40           D  None  of these 

Let   Akash  =  2  Babloo  = 3  and  Chintu  =  5 

Then  100/115=2  =  23/10 
            100/110=3  = 33/10
            120/100=5=  6

            A  on  30  the  day           b  On  40th Day                 c  On  27th Day                  D  On  17th day 

Explanation: Money earned in 2 days = Rs.(20 - 15)     =  Rs. 15.
Money earned in 16 days = Rs.(5/2 x 16)     ‹=›Rs. 40.
On 17th day, money in hand = Rs.(40 + 20 )     = Rs. 60.      Answer  d   17th  Day 
10    Ajay can  do  a  piece  of  work  in  25  days  and  Sanjay  can  finish  it  in  20  days  .  They  work together   for  5  days  and  Ajay  goes  away .  how  many  days  will  Sanjay  finish  the  remaining  work

A  11  days               b  12 days              c  14  days            d  None of  these
1 days work of Ajay =1/25
                        Sanjay   = 1/20
So  (Ajay+Sanjay)= 1/25+1/20=9/100
5 days work of Ajaya and Sajay=45/100
Remaining work = 1-45/100=55/100
Sajay can do 55/100 work in  55/100/1/20    =  11 Days

Answer   a  11 Days 

11          The  decimal representation  of a   rational  number  is

Answer b 

12         A  hemispherical  bowl  of  internal  radius   9  cm  contains  a  liquid ,  The  liquid is  to  be  filled  into  cylindrical  shaped  small  bottles  of  diameter  3  cm  and  height   4  cm  .  How  many  bottles  will  be  needed  to  empty  the  bowl

A  45        b  54          c  35         d  48

Radius of hemisphere= 9 cm
volume of hemisphere= 2/3 Ï€ r3 
= 2/3 x9x9x9 Ï€    = 486 Ï€ 
radius of cylindrical shaped bottles= 3/2 cm
height= 4 cm,     volume of bottles= Ï€ r2h
= 3/2x 3/2 x 4 Ï€     =9 Ï€  now,
Reaquired no. of bottles= volume of hemisphere/ volume of bottles
. =486 Ï€/9Ï€   . =54
Hence, no. of bottles required to empty the bowl = 54    Answer   b  54 
13          If  the  numerator  of  a  fraction  is  increased  by  200 %   and  the  denominator
  is  increased  by  300 %   the  resultant  fraction  is  6/11 .  What  was  the original  fraction . 

A  5/11              b  7/11 .          c  8/13            d  8/11 

If  numerator  increase  200 %   then    Numerator will be x+2x =3x

and denominator increased by 300% means denominator will be y = 3y =4y

new fraction will be 3x/4y =6/66 (g
3x/4y = 6/11
dividing numerator by 3 and denominator by 4 both side we will get
x/y =6/3/11/4
x/y=6x4/11x3
x/y =24/33
x/y =8/11     Answer  d  8/11 
14     If  the  ratio  of areas  of  two  squares  is  9:1  the  ratio  of perimeter  is

Answer  20 % 
18  A  car is  moving  with  a speed  of  36 km/h  .  How  much  time  in  seconds  it  will    take  to
  cross  a  500 m  long  bridge  .
A  40           b  45          c  50           d  55

Speed 36 KM/H     = 36*5/18 M/S    =10 M/S  
So  time  taken to  cross 500m bridge  = 500/10 =  50 Second       Answer  50
             
19 .    Two  cars  start  from  the  same  point  at   8  am  .  In  the  same  direction  .  The  speed  of the first  car  is  60  km/h   and  the  speed  of  second  car  is  55  km/h  .  The  distance  between  them  at  2  p. m  on  the  same  day  is 
                A  20  km       b  25  km       c  28  km       d  30 km 
Time  duration  14-8  =  6 Hrs     2  PM  (  14 hrs)
distance by  first   car   6*60  360 KM
Distance  by  IInd car   = 6*55   =330 KM

So  distance  between  two  car  30 KM       Answer  30 KM
20  The    distance  between    two cities   A  and  B  is  520 km  .  One  car  starts  from   city   A 
towards  city  B  with  the  speed  of  60  km/h.  At  the  same  time  another  car  starts  from  city  B
  towards  city  A   with  a  speed  of 70  km/h  .  After  how  many  hours  they  will  cross  each  other 

A  3 hours  b  4  Hours d  5  hours  d  6  hours

Let distance travelled by  A= X
Distance  travelled by   B= (520-X)
X/60=520-x/70
70X=(520-X)60
70X=520*60-60X
130X=520*60     X=240    ie  Time =240/60= 4 Hrs    Answer  4  Hrs 
 21  A  car towards  50  km  in  first  hour  ,  60  Km  in  second  hour  and  43  km  in  third  hour .  The  average  speed  of  the  car  is 

A  43  KM/h             b  50  KM/h            c  51  KM/h     d  55 KM/h

153/3       Answer 51 KM/h
