Practice Questions

Q1. The hierarchical classification of learning was given by whom ?

A Gagne Correct
B Skinner
C Pavlov
D Murphy

Explanation

Gagne gave a hierarchical classification of learning, arranging learning from simpler prerequisite forms to more complex outcomes such as rule learning and problem solving. Skinner and Pavlov are mainly associated with conditioning theories, not this hierarchy. Hence A is correct.

Q2. The basic components of attitude are thinking, feeling and ________.

A Prejudice
B Cognitive learning
C Reacting Correct
D Neutral

Explanation

Attitude is usually explained through three components: cognitive, affective, and behavioural. In the question these are expressed as thinking, feeling, and reacting respectively. Thus the missing component is reacting, making option C correct.

Q3. If ‘BLACK’ is written as 1242133 in a code language, then how will ‘RED’ be written in that code language?

A 5619 Correct
B 5618
C 4518
D 4519

Explanation

The code is made by reversing the word and writing the alphabet position of the next letter for each reversed letter. BLACK becomes K, C, A, L, B; their next letters L, D, B, M, C have positions 12, 4, 2, 13, 3, giving 1242133. RED becomes D, E, R, whose next letters have positions 5, 6, 19, so A is correct.

Q4. Find the wrong number in the series – 2880, 480, 92, 24, 8, 4, 4

A 480
B 92 Correct
C 8
D 4

Explanation

The intended pattern is division by 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 successively: 2880/6 = 480, then 480/5 should be 96, not 92. Continuing from 96 gives 24, 8, 4 and 4. Therefore 92 is the wrong number, so option B is correct.

Q5. There are six members A, B, C, D, E and F in a family. E is daughter of B and A is brother of B. C is father of A and D is brother of E. F is wife of C. Uncle of D is

A A Correct
B B
C C
D E

Explanation

E is B's daughter and D is E's brother, so D is also B's child. A is B's brother, so A is the brother of D's parent. Therefore A is D's uncle, making option A correct.
