SSC MTS 2023 PYQ-pattern questions

Showing 10 of the 19 PYQ-pattern questions in this set — freshly worded in that year's pattern, not the original questions. Answers and solutions open under each question.

Q1 · Simplification
What is the value of 48 ÷ 8 × 2 + 5 - 3?
- A. 14
- B. 12
- C. 16
- D. 10
Answer and solution
Answer: A
Following BODMAS: 48 ÷ 8 = 6, then 6 × 2 = 12, then 12 + 5 = 17, finally 17 - 3 = 14.
Q2 · Mixture and Allegation
A mixture contains milk and water in the ratio 5:3. If 8 liters of water is added, the ratio becomes 5:4. What was the original quantity of milk?
- A. 30 liters
- B. 40 liters
- C. 45 liters
- D. 50 liters
Answer and solution
Answer: B
Let milk = 5x, water = 3x. Then 5x/(3x+8) = 5/4. Solving: 20x = 15x + 40, so x = 8. Milk = 5×8 = 40 liters.
Q3 · Simple and Compound Interest
Find the simple interest on Rs. 5000 at the rate of 8% per annum for 3 years.
- A. Rs. 1000
- B. Rs. 1200
- C. Rs. 1500
- D. Rs. 800
Answer and solution
Answer: B
Simple Interest = (P × R × T)/100 = (5000 × 8 × 3)/100 = Rs. 1200.
Q4 · Data Interpretation
A bar chart shows the sales of a company over 4 years: 2018 (Rs. 40 lakhs), 2019 (Rs. 55 lakhs), 2020 (Rs. 48 lakhs), 2021 (Rs. 60 lakhs). What is the average sales over these 4 years?
- A. Rs. 50.75 lakhs
- B. Rs. 48.50 lakhs
- C. Rs. 52.00 lakhs
- D. Rs. 55.00 lakhs
Answer and solution
Answer: A
Average = (40 + 55 + 48 + 60) / 4 = 203 / 4 = 50.75 lakhs.
Q5 · Analogy
Select the option that is related to the third term in the same way as the second term is related to the first term. Doctor : Hospital :: Teacher : ?
- A. Books
