Essay List

Prologue
Intelligence Bureau (IB) had conducted written examination for requirement of Assistant
central intelligence officer (ACIO) on 22nd February 2015.
Im preparing the topic wise ACIO Answer key in four parts.
First part: History and Polity MCQs already published (http://mrunal.org/2015/02/acioanswerkey-history-polity-questions-solved-explanation-cutoffs.html)
Second part: Economy and Geography (http://mrunal.org/2015/02/acio-answerkeyeconomy-geography-solved-cutoffs.html) MCQs also published
Third part: Science and Persons in News MCQs published
Now in this fourth and last part, we look at the Maths, English, Reasoning questions asked in
the ACIO-2015 examination
Since IB refuses to disclose cutoffs under right to information act (RTI), so not much point in
dwelling into that. One exam is over then its time to prepare for another exam.

Maths/Reasoning Questions in ACIO-2015


By and large trend similar to last exam conducted in 2013 i.e. few questions from basic
numeracy, few from speed-time-distance, few from permutation-combination-probability
and arithmetic progression.
Only new part is logarithms asked.
Only 1 question from reasoning. No questions about coding-decoding, blood-relations,
sitting arrangement, syllogism or non-verbal image based reasoning.
Strategy for future ACIO exam:
Fast track to Objective Arithmetic by Rajesh Verma (http://www.flipkart.com/fast-trackobjective-arithmetic-3rd/p/itmd68vjuzdcmrs7?pid=9789351760146&affid=mrunalrugm)
And misc. topics such as logarithm from internet.
For reasoning, just practicing old papers of SSC and Bank exams, with main focus on
vocubulary and dictionary part.

Basic Numeracy
18. If the sum of 60% of a fractional number and the numbers square root is 5 greater
than one fifth of the number, then the number is
1. 6.25
2. 0.25
3. 12.25
4. 2.25
0.6x + sqrt(x) = 0.2x +5
0.4x + sqrt(x) = 5
We have to choose an option from the choices given and substitute it in this equation to get
answer. Since the sum is 5, we can assume that the number must be greater than 5, as the 2
components we are adding are fraction of the number.
So taking 6.25.
0.4*6.25 = 2.5
Sqrt(6.25) = 2.5
Adding both we have 5.
So option (1) is correct
22. A man sells an article at a certain price incurring 20% loss. If he had sold the same
article for Rs.20 more, he would have earned 20% profit. What was the cost price of the
said article?
1. Rs.20
2. Rs. 40
3. Rs. 50
4. Rs. 60

1.2x 0.8x = 20 => 0.4x = 20 => x = 50. Option (3)


23. Numerator of a fraction is increased by 60%, and at the same time its denominator is
decreased by 60%. The new fraction is
1. 2.56 times the older fraction
2. Equal to the older fraction
3. 4 times-the older fraction
4. 0.36 times the older fraction
1.6N/0.4D = 4(N/D). Option (3)
28. Log (40^2-20^2) is equal to
1. log 3
2. log 60 + log 20
3. log 40 log 20
4. log 20
=402-202
=(40-20)(40+20)
= 20*60
Log of this equation = log 60 +log20, Therefore, answer is #2.
=11/14, hence answer (2)
26. The last digit of the number 3^2015 is
1. 1
2. 3
3. 5
4. 7

The last digit comes in iteration of 4 numbers: 3,9,7,1.


So remainder when 2015 is divided by 4 leaves remainder 3. So the unit digit comes out to 7.
Option (4)
27. What is the squareroot of 49%?
1. 0.7%
2. 7.0%
3. 70%
4. Undefined
Sqrt(49/100) = 7/10 = 70% Options (3)
31. (7+14+21+28..+700) is equal to :
1. 35350
2. 42714
3. 49420
4. 56707
A=7, d=7, n=100.
S = (last number + first number)*N/2 = (700 + 7)*100/2 = 35350. Option (1)
Permutation Combination Probability (PCP)
19. If Head appears consecutively in the first three tosses of a fair/unbiased coin, what is
the probability of Head appearing in the fourth toss also?
1. 1/8
2. 7/8
3. 1/16
4. 1/2

The answer would be (4) .


Consider we take into consideration probability of each toss. HHHH. Then probability of 4th toss
as Heads will be (1/2) ^ 4 = 1/16.
Now consider the corollary, when the 4th toss is not a head. So it is HHHT. Once again the
probability will be 1/16. If we were to do (1/2) ^ 4 for each separate toss, then for not getting
head also we will get same 1/16. But the answer should have been 1 1/16 = 15/16. So our
assumption that we take earlier tosses into consideration is wrong.
This is because, the probability of 4th toss will not change due to earlier occurrences. This is a
new toss.
20. Archers A and B take aim at a target. If the probability of A hitting the target is 90%
and of B missing the target is 90%, what is the probability that both A and B miss the
target?
1. 90%
2. 09%
3. 01%
4. 81%
Answer = A missing AND B missing
= 0.1 * 0.9 [AND means multiplication] = 0.09 = 9%. Option (2)
29. Twelve persons meet in a conference and each shakes hands with all the others. How
many handshakes take place?
1. 66
2. 72
3. 144
4. 132
Approach#1:

Readymade formula for handshakes is: n*(n-1)/2. Therefore, 12*11/2=66 handshakes take
place. option #1 is right.
Approach#2:
1st person shakes hands with = 11 persons.
2nd person = 10 (excluding the already shaken hands of the 1st person)
3rd person = 9 (excluding the already shaken hands of the 1st person and 2nd person)

Final handshakes = 1+2+3++11 = 12*11/2 = 66. [arithmetic progression]


Option (1)
Speed Time Distance (STD)
21. If 12 persons working 12 hours a day dig 12 meters of a tunnel in 12 days, how many
men are required to dig additional 04 meters of the tunnel (of the same dimension) given
that they work 04 hours a day for 04 days?
1. 27
2. 4
3. 12
4. 36
Approach#1: STD method
Suppose 1 mans speed is s

12 people
Speed

12*s

Time

12 hrs x 12 days

Distance

12 meters

Apply STD formula in first column

Speed x time = distance


(12 x s) x (12 x 12)=12
s=1/144
Case#2: we have to find no. of more men required (say M) for 04 meters of the tunnel (of the
same dimension) given that they work 04 hours a day for 04 days?

Speed

(m) x (1/144)

Time

4 hrs x days

Distance

4 meters

((m)/144)*4*4=4
Solving this equation we get answer 36.Hence option #4.
Approach#2:
For 12 persons, Per day Meter for 12 Hours = 1 meter is dug
So for 12 persons, per day per hour = 1/12 meter is dug.
So for 4 hours of work in 4 days by 12 persons = 4/3 meters. We need 4 meters.
So we need to employ 12*3 = 36 persons.
30. A man travels uphill to city C from city B in a car at the speed of 40 Km/hr, and returns
to city B at a faster speed of 60 Km/hr. What is his average speed for the round trip?
1. 0
2. 48 Km/hr
3. 50 Km/hr
4. Data insufficient

uphill from B to C
Speed

40

from C to B
60

Time
Distance

Apply speed x time = distance formula in both columns, then you get time = D/40 and D/60
respectively. Update the table

uphill from B to C

from C to B

Speed

40

60

Time

D/40

D/60

Distance

Average speed = (total distance)/(total time)


=(D+D)/((D/40)+(D/60))
Answer is 48 kmph. Option #2
Geometry
24. In a triangle ABC, one of the angles is average of the remaining two angles. Which of
the following is always true about the triangle ABC?
1. Isosceles triangle
2. Equilateral triangle
3. One of its angles measures 60
4. Right angled triangle.
It cant be isosceles. Since, the average of the greater angle with the smaller angle will be more
than the smaller angle. It need not be equilateral. Though it can be an equilateral. So one of the
angle is 60. Consider the angles 45, 60,75. It fits into the average criteria. So option (3) is
answer.

25. If the area of a circle C is equal to the area of a square S, then the ratio of the square
of the perimeter of C to the square of the perimeter of S is nearly equal to
1. 22:7
2. 11:14
3. 88:7
4. 1:1
Pi*r2 = a2 ..eq1
[(2*pi*r)2] / [(4*a)2]
= pi/4 (after substituting values from equation1)
=22/(7*4)
=2*11/(7*2*2)
Reasoning
32. In a group of 5 persons, P is taller than Q, but is shorter than both R and S. Both R and T are
taller than Q, but shorter than S. This implies that
1. R is taller than P, but shorter than T/ R
2. T is taller than Q, but shorter than R/ T
3. R is taller than Q, but shorter than T/ R
4. S is taller than T while P is shorter than R/ S
P>Q; R,S>P ; R,T>Q; S>R,T ;
So option (4) suits the best. We dont know the relation between R and T.
33. In a group of Army Officers, 02% of Officers neither take Coffee nor Tea, while rest of
them take either Tea or Coffee or both. If 60% of Officers take Tea, while 58% take Coffee,
what percentage of Officers take Tea but do not take Coffee?
1. 02%

2. 20%
3. 40%
4. 60%
Total officers = People who take tea + who take coffee + dont take anything
intersection/double count/who take both tea and coffee.
100 = 60 + 58 + 2 x => x =20.
So people who take tea but no coffee = take tea intersection = 60 20 =40.
Option(3)
Approach#2

T+B=60

C+B=58
Therefore (T+C)+2B=118eq1
Next, we know that total number of officers are 100
T+B+C+N=100; but N=2
(T+C)+B=98.eq2
eq1 minus eq2
118-98=(T+C)+2B ((T+C)+B)
20=B.
Officers who only drink tea: T=60-B=60-20=40. Option #3.

Hi aspirants. I got selected in Acio 2013 exam(Roll no-11009902).
According to answer keys uploaded by Mrunal sir my score was
only 60 in objective paper but it is tough to speculate over marks in
essay paper. So from my experience those who have scored even
55 plus and have written a good essay secures a fair chance to be
short listed for the interview. Since I.B doesnt discloses cut-off
marks, it is tough to guess anything. Wish u all the best!

Ekya
In a triangle ABC, one of the angles is average of the remaining two
angles. Which of the following is always true about the triangle ABC?
Another way to do this problem:
Let x and y be two angles.
Equation become:
x + y + (x+y)/2 = 180
3/2 (x+y) = 180
(x+y)/2 = 60
Since one of the angle is (x+y)/2 and it is always equal to 60 as proved
above.
Hence the answer.

Q.96
In the sentence, Dont talk so loud, the word loud is used as an : Adverb

Explanation An Adverb modifies an Action and an Adjective modifies a
Noun. In above sentence, so loud is modifying the word talk some sort
of action. So I am certain that it be Adverb.

For question no 96 in the English section. The correct answer should be
an adverb. Even though loud is an adjective in its inherent nature but the
usage is indicative of explaining the way of talking hence loud will be an
adverb.
