JKSSB Wildlife Guard 2026 Solved Question Paper

Question 1

At a doctor's clinic, 8% of patients with liver disease are alcoholics. 6% of all patients are alcoholics, and 12% have liver disease. What's the probability a patient has liver disease if they are alcoholic?

Accepted Answer

Option A: 0.16. Let L be the event that a patient has liver disease and A be the event that a patient is an alcoholic.
Given:
- P(L) = 12% = 0.12
- P(A) = 6% = 0.06
- P(A | L) = 8% = 0.08
By Bayes' theorem / conditional probability:
P(L ∩ A) = P(A | L) × P(L) = 0.08 × 0.12 = 0.0096
P(L | A) = P(L ∩ A) / P(A) = 0.0096 / 0.06 = 0.16.
Hence, the required probability is 0.16.

Question 2

Two fair dice are rolled. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers rolled is either 7 or 11?

Accepted Answer

Option D: 2/9. When two fair dice are rolled, total possible outcomes = 6 × 6 = 36.
- Outcomes giving sum = 7: (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1) → 6 outcomes.
- Outcomes giving sum = 11: (5,6), (6,5) → 2 outcomes.
Total favorable outcomes = 6 + 2 = 8.
Probability = 8 / 36 = 2 / 9.

Question 3

The ratio between two numbers is 2 : 11. If the difference between the numbers is 81 find the smaller number.

Accepted Answer

Option B: 18. Let the two numbers be 2x and 11x.
Difference = 11x - 2x = 9x = 81 ⇒ x = 9.
Smaller number = 2x = 2 × 9 = 18.

Question 4

The product of two numbers is 10 more than 5 times their sum. Find the numbers if the numbers are in a ratio 5 : 6.

Accepted Answer

Option A: 10 & 12. Let the two numbers be 5x and 6x.
Product = 5x × 6x = 30x².
Sum = 5x + 6x = 11x.
Given equation:
30x² = 5(11x) + 10
30x² - 55x - 10 = 0
Dividing by 5:
6x² - 11x - 2 = 0
Factoring:
(6x + 1)(x - 2) = 0 ⇒ x = 2 (since numbers are positive integers).
Numbers are: 5(2) = 10 and 6(2) = 12.

Question 5

A factory has 400 workers, with men and women in a 5:3 ratio. 87.5% of all workers are regular. If 92% of the male employees are regular, what percentage of the female employees are regular?

Accepted Answer

Option C: 80%. Total workers = 400.
Men = (5/8) × 400 = 250.
Women = (3/8) × 400 = 150.
Total regular workers = 87.5% of 400 = (7/8) × 400 = 350.
Regular male workers = 92% of 250 = 230.
Regular female workers = 350 - 230 = 120.
Percentage of female workers that are regular = (120 / 150) × 100% = 80%.

Question 6

The ages of A and B are in the ratio 5:7. Five years ago, their ages were in the ratio 5:8. The respective present ages (in years) are

Accepted Answer

Option B: 15 & 21. Let present ages of A and B be 5x and 7x.
Five years ago:
(5x - 5) / (7x - 5) = 5 / 8
8(5x - 5) = 5(7x - 5)
40x - 40 = 35x - 25
5x = 15 ⇒ x = 3.
Present age of A = 5(3) = 15 years.
Present age of B = 7(3) = 21 years.

Question 7

Two numbers are in the ratio 4 : 5. If their HCF is 16, then the sum of these two numbers is

Accepted Answer

Option A: 144. Let the two numbers be 4x and 5x, where x is their HCF.
Given HCF = 16.
First number = 4 × 16 = 64.
Second number = 5 × 16 = 80.
Sum = 64 + 80 = 144 (or (4 + 5) × 16 = 9 × 16 = 144).

Question 8

The HCF of two numbers is 74 and their LCM is 12210. If one of the numbers is 1110, what is the sum of the two numbers?

Accepted Answer

Option B: 1924. We know that Product of two numbers = HCF × LCM.
Let the second number be B.
1110 × B = 74 × 12210
B = (74 × 12210) / 1110 = 74 × 11 = 814.
Sum of the two numbers = 1110 + 814 = 1924.

Question 9

In an examination, 54% of the candidates passed in science and 42% failed in mathematics. If 32% failed in both subjects, what percentage passed in both subjects?

Accepted Answer

Option D: 44%. Percentage failed in Science = 100% - 54% = 46%.
Percentage failed in Mathematics = 42%.
Percentage failed in both subjects = 32%.
Percentage failed in at least one subject = Fail(Science) + Fail(Math) - Fail(Both)
= 46% + 42% - 32% = 56%.
Percentage passed in both subjects = 100% - 56% = 44%.

Question 10

The HCF and LCM of two numbers are 33 and 4719 respectively. When the first number is divided by 3, the quotient is 121, find the other number?

Accepted Answer

Option D: 429. First number = 3 × 121 = 363.
Product of numbers = HCF × LCM.
363 × Other Number = 33 × 4719
Other Number = (33 × 4719) / 363 = 4719 / 11 = 429.

Question 11

A's income is to B's income as 5:7. A saves Rs. 4,000, and B saves Rs. 5,000. If A's spending is two-thirds of B's spending, what's the combined income of A and B?

Accepted Answer

Option B: Rs. 24,000/-. Let A's income = 5x and B's income = 7x.
A's expenditure = 5x - 4000
B's expenditure = 7x - 5000
Given:
5x - 4000 = (2/3)(7x - 5000)
3(5x - 4000) = 2(7x - 5000)
15x - 12000 = 14x - 10000
x = 2000.
Combined income = 5x + 7x = 12x = 12 × 2000 = Rs. 24,000.

Question 12

A 900 km trip takes 11 hours. If 2/5 of the distance is covered at 60 km/h, what speed is needed for the rest of the trip?

Accepted Answer

Option A: 108. Total distance = 900 km, Total time = 11 hours.
Distance 1 = (2/5) × 900 = 360 km.
Time 1 = 360 / 60 = 6 hours.
Remaining distance = 900 - 360 = 540 km.
Remaining time = 11 - 6 = 5 hours.
Required speed = 540 / 5 = 108 km/h.

Question 13

A person covered 42 kilometers in 5 hours, using both walking and cycling. Walking speed was 6 km/h, and cycling speed was 10 km/h. What distance did they cover by walking?

Accepted Answer

Option A: 12 km. Let walking time be t hours. Then cycling time = (5 - t) hours.
Total distance = 6t + 10(5 - t) = 42
6t + 50 - 10t = 42
4t = 8 ⇒ t = 2 hours.
Distance covered by walking = 6 × 2 = 12 km.

Question 14

A man completes a certain journey by a car. If he covered 30% of the distance at the speed of 20kmph. 60% of the distance at 40km/h and the remaining of the distance at 10 kmph, his average speed is

Accepted Answer

Option A: 25 km/h. Let total distance = 100 km.
- Time for 30 km at 20 km/h = 30 / 20 = 1.5 h
- Time for 60 km at 40 km/h = 60 / 40 = 1.5 h
- Remaining 10 km at 10 km/h = 10 / 10 = 1.0 h
Total time = 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.0 = 4.0 hours.
Average speed = Total distance / Total time = 100 / 4.0 = 25 km/h.

Question 15

A man covers half of his journey at 6 km/h and the remaining half at 3 km/h. His average speed is

Accepted Answer

Option A: 4 km/h. When two equal distances are covered at speeds u and v, the average speed is given by the harmonic mean formula:
Average Speed = 2uv / (u + v) = (2 × 6 × 3) / (6 + 3) = 36 / 9 = 4 km/h.

Question 16

13 years back my father's age was triple of my brother's age. Five years from now my father will be twice as old as my brother. Find my age now if I am twice of my brother's age.

Accepted Answer

Option A: 62. Let brother's present age = B, father's present age = F.
13 years back:
F - 13 = 3(B - 13) ⇒ F = 3B - 26
5 years from now:
F + 5 = 2(B + 5) ⇒ F = 2B + 5
Equating both:
3B - 26 = 2B + 5 ⇒ B = 31.
My age = 2 × B = 2 × 31 = 62 years.

Question 17

The average age of 3 students is 21 years. If the ratio of their ages is x : y : z, find the value with which y is related. It is known that x : y = 1 : 2 and y : z = 1 : 3.

Accepted Answer

Option B: 14. Total age of 3 students = 3 × 21 = 63 years.
Given:
x : y = 1 : 2
y : z = 1 : 3 = 2 : 6
Compound ratio x : y : z = 1 : 2 : 6.
Total parts = 1 + 2 + 6 = 9.
Value of 1 part = 63 / 9 = 7.
Value related to y = 2 parts = 2 × 7 = 14.

Question 18

A and B together can complete a work in 3 days. They start together but after 2 days, B left the work. If the work is completed after two more days, B alone could do the work in

Accepted Answer

Option C: 6 days. Combined rate of (A + B) = 1/3 work per day.
In 2 days, A and B completed 2 × (1/3) = 2/3 of the work.
Remaining work = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3.
A finished this 1/3 work in 2 days, so A's 1-day work = (1/3) / 2 = 1/6.
B's 1-day work = (A + B)'s work - A's work = 1/3 - 1/6 = 1/6.
Therefore, B alone takes 1 / (1/6) = 6 days to complete the work.

Question 19

To complete a work, A takes 50% more time than B. If together they take 18 days to complete the work, how much time shall B take to do it?

Accepted Answer

Option A: 30 days. Let B take t days. A takes 1.5t = (3/2)t days.
Daily work of B = 1/t.
Daily work of A = 1 / ((3/2)t) = 2 / (3t).
Combined daily work = 1/t + 2/(3t) = 5/(3t).
Given combined time = 18 days ⇒ 5 / (3t) = 1 / 18 ⇒ 3t = 90 ⇒ t = 30 days.
Hence, B alone takes 30 days.

Question 20

Tickets numbered 1 to 20 are mixed up and then a ticket is drawn at random. What is the probability that the ticket drawn has a number which is a multiple of 3 or 5?

Accepted Answer

Option D: 9/20. Sample space S = {1, 2, 3, ..., 20}, n(S) = 20.
Multiples of 3: {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18} (6 numbers)
Multiples of 5: {5, 10, 15, 20} (4 numbers)
Common multiple of 3 and 5: {15} (1 number)
Favorable numbers = {3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20} (9 numbers).
Probability = 9 / 20.

Question 21

In a lottery, there are 10 prizes and 25 blanks. A lottery is drawn at random. What is the probability of getting a prize?

Accepted Answer

Option C: 2/7. Total tickets = 10 (prizes) + 25 (blanks) = 35.
Number of favorable outcomes (getting a prize) = 10.
Probability = 10 / 35 = 2 / 7.

Question 22

A class of 40 students took a test, and the average score was calculated to be 45. However, there were errors in recording some scores: 25 was mistakenly recorded as 35 twice, and 38 was mistakenly recorded as 32 once. What is the correct average score of the class?

Accepted Answer

Option A: 44.65. Total calculated score = 40 × 45 = 1800.
Corrections:
- Subtracted mistaken values: - (35 × 2) - 32 = - 70 - 32 = -102.
- Added correct values: + (25 × 2) + 38 = + 50 + 38 = +88.
Net correction = 88 - 102 = -14.
Correct total sum = 1800 - 14 = 1786.
Correct average = 1786 / 40 = 44.65.

Question 23

A cricketer has a batting average of 50 runs over 40 innings. The difference between his highest and lowest scores is 172 runs. If the highest and lowest scores are removed, the average of the remaining 38 innings is 48. What was the cricketer's highest score?

Accepted Answer

Option D: 174. Total runs in 40 innings = 40 × 50 = 2000.
Total runs in 38 innings = 38 × 48 = 1824.
Sum of Highest (H) and Lowest (L) scores = 2000 - 1824 = 176.
Given: H - L = 172.
Adding both equations: 2H = 176 + 172 = 348 ⇒ H = 174.
(Lowest score L = 176 - 174 = 2).

Question 24

A shooting team of eight members had a competition. The top scorer got 85 points. If that person had scored 92 points, the team's average score would have been 84. What was the team's total score?

Accepted Answer

Option B: 665. If the top scorer had scored 92 points, the hypothetical team total would be: 8 × 84 = 672 points.
Since the top scorer actually scored 85 points (which is 92 - 85 = 7 points less), the actual team total score was:
672 - 7 = 665 points.

Question 25

What will be the radius of the circle (in cm) for which the circumference and the area are numerically equal?

Accepted Answer

Option A: 2. Circumference of a circle = 2πr.
Area of a circle = πr².
Given: 2πr = πr².
Dividing both sides by πr (for r > 0):
r = 2 cm.

Question 26

A bird travels: 40 km north, then 50 km east, then 110 km north, and finally 50 km west. What is the bird's final position relative to its starting point?

Accepted Answer

Option B: 150 km North. Tracking movements along coordinate axes:
- North-South displacement: +40 km (North) + 110 km (North) = +150 km North.
- East-West displacement: +50 km (East) - 50 km (West) = 0 km.
Therefore, the final position relative to the starting point is 150 km North.

Question 27

Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
16, 33, 100, 401, ?

- 16 × 2 + 1 = 33
- 33 × 3 + 1 = 100
- 100 × 4 + 1 = 401
Following the pattern (× n + 1):
Next term = 401 × 5 + 1 = 2005 + 1 = 2006.

Question 28

Float : Sink :: Boat : ?

Accepted Answer

Option C: Submarine. Float and Sink are antonyms representing opposite states on water. A Boat is designed to float on the water surface, whereas a Submarine is designed to submerge/sink beneath the water surface.

Question 29

A man starts from point A, walks 20 km East to reach point B. He then turns North and walks 15 km to reach point C. Next, he turns West and walks 8 km to reach point D. Finally, he turns South and walks 15 km to reach point E. What is the distance and direction of point E from point A?

Accepted Answer

Option D: 12 km East. Taking point A as the origin (0, 0):
- Point B: (20, 0) [20 km East]
- Point C: (20, 15) [15 km North]
- Point D: (20 - 8, 15) = (12, 15) [8 km West]
- Point E: (12, 15 - 15) = (12, 0) [15 km South]
Point E is at coordinates (12, 0) relative to A (0, 0), which is exactly 12 km to the East.

Question 30

A truck moves: North 36 km, West 9 km, South 50 km, and then East 9 km. What is the truck's final position relative to its starting point?

Accepted Answer

Option A: 14 km South. Coordinates from origin (0, 0):
- North 36 km → (0, 36)
- West 9 km → (-9, 36)
- South 50 km → (-9, 36 - 50) = (-9, -14)
- East 9 km → (-9 + 9, -14) = (0, -14)
The final position is at (0, -14), which is 14 km South of the starting point.

Question 31

Asthma : Lungs :: Conjunctivitis : ?

Accepted Answer

Option C: Eyes. Asthma is a disease/disorder affecting the Lungs. Similarly, Conjunctivitis (commonly called pink eye) is an infection or inflammation affecting the Eyes.

Question 32

Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
28, 32, 41, 57, ?

Accepted Answer

Option B: 82. Differences between consecutive terms:
- 32 - 28 = 4 = 2²
- 41 - 32 = 9 = 3²
- 57 - 41 = 16 = 4²
The pattern is adding consecutive perfect squares (2², 3², 4², 5²).
Next term = 57 + 5² = 57 + 25 = 82.

Question 33

In a certain code FIRE is coded as DGPC. What will be the last letter of the coded word for SHOT.

Accepted Answer

Option B: R. In the code FIRE → DGPC, each letter is shifted backwards by 2 positions:
- F (6) - 2 = D (4)
- I (9) - 2 = G (7)
- R (18) - 2 = P (16)
- E (5) - 2 = C (3)
For the word SHOT, the last letter is T (20):
T (20) - 2 = R (18).
Thus, the last letter of the coded word is R.

Question 34

If SUMMER is coded RUNNER, the code for WINTER is

Accepted Answer

Option B: VIOUER. Analyzing the shift from SUMMER to RUNNER:
- S - 1 = R
- U + 0 = U
- M + 1 = N
- M + 1 = N
- E + 0 = E
- R + 0 = R
Applying the identical pattern to WINTER:
- W - 1 = V
- I + 0 = I
- N + 1 = O
- T + 1 = U
- E + 0 = E
- R + 0 = R
The coded word is VIOUER.

Question 35

In a code language, if PEN is written as 17717, then how will CAP be written in the same language?

Accepted Answer

Option B: 4319. Letter ranks in English alphabet:
- P = 16, E = 5, N = 14
Add 1, 2, 3 sequentially to the positional values:
- P: 16 + 1 = 17
- E: 5 + 2 = 7
- N: 14 + 3 = 17
Combining values gives 17717.
Now for CAP:
- C = 3, A = 1, P = 16
- C: 3 + 1 = 4
- A: 1 + 2 = 3
- P: 16 + 3 = 19
Combining values gives 4319.

Question 36

If letters A-Z are assigned odd numbers (A=1, B=3, etc.), what is the numerical value of the word HONEY?

Accepted Answer

Option C: 152927949. If each letter with alphabetical rank n is assigned the odd number (2n - 1):
- H (n=8): 2(8) - 1 = 15
- O (n=15): 2(15) - 1 = 29
- N (n=14): 2(14) - 1 = 27
- E (n=5): 2(5) - 1 = 9
- Y (n=25): 2(25) - 1 = 49
Concatenating these values gives: 152927949.

Question 37

If "TAPE" is coded as "SUZBOQDF" in a specific system, how would "MOCK" be coded using the same system?

Accepted Answer

Option D: LNNPBDJL. Each single letter is coded as the two letters immediately preceding and succeeding it (-1 and +1):
- T → S, U (SU)
- A → Z, B (ZB)
- P → O, Q (OQ)
- E → D, F (DF)
→ SUZBOQDF.
Applying the same rule to MOCK:
- M → L, N (LN)
- O → N, P (NP)
- C → B, D (BD)
- K → J, L (JL)
→ LNNPBDJL.

Question 38

In the following question below are given some statements followed by some conclusions. Taking the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts, read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion logically follows the given statements.
Statements: All dogs are cats. No cat is a bird.
Conclusions:
I. Some dogs are birds.
II. No dog is a bird.

Accepted Answer

Option B: Only Conclusion II follows. Statements:
- All Dogs are Cats (Dogs ⊆ Cats)
- No Cat is a Bird (Cats ∩ Birds = ∅)
Since the entire set of Dogs is completely inside Cats, and no Cat can be a Bird, no Dog can ever be a Bird (Dogs ∩ Birds = ∅).
Therefore, Conclusion II ("No dog is a bird") definitely follows, while Conclusion I is false.

Question 39

Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements: All dogs are mammals. No mammal is a reptile. All snakes are reptiles.
Conclusions:
I. No dog is a snake.
II. Some snakes are not mammals.
III. Some dogs may be snakes.

Accepted Answer

Option B: Only Conclusion I and II follows. Statements:
1. All Dogs are Mammals (D ⊆ M)
2. No Mammal is a Reptile (M ∩ R = ∅)
3. All Snakes are Reptiles (S ⊆ R)
Analysis of Conclusions:
- From 2 and 3: Since all snakes are reptiles and no reptile is a mammal, No snake is a mammal (S ∩ M = ∅). If no snake is a mammal, it universally entails that 'Some snakes are not mammals'. Thus, Conclusion II follows.
- From 1 and S ∩ M = ∅: Since all dogs are mammals and no mammal is a snake, No dog is a snake (D ∩ S = ∅). Thus, Conclusion I follows.
- Conclusion III states 'Some dogs may be snakes', which is completely impossible since D ∩ S = ∅.
Therefore, Only Conclusions I and II follow.

Question 40

In a certain code language, 'MOHAN' is coded as 39-45-24-3-42 and 'KABIR' is coded as 33-3-6-27-54. How will 'RAGHU' be coded in that language?

Accepted Answer

Option C: 54-3-21-24-63. Each letter's position in the alphabet is multiplied by 3:
- M (13×3=39), O (15×3=45), H (8×3=24), A (1×3=3), N (14×3=42)
- K (11×3=33), A (1×3=3), B (2×3=6), I (9×3=27), R (18×3=54)
For RAGHU:
- R = 18 × 3 = 54
- A = 1 × 3 = 3
- G = 7 × 3 = 21
- H = 8 × 3 = 24
- U = 21 × 3 = 63
Code is: 54-3-21-24-63.

Question 41

A and B are brothers. C and D are sisters. A's son is D's brother. How is B related to C?

Accepted Answer

Option C: Uncle. Since A's son is D's brother, and C and D are sisters, A is the father of C, D, and the son. Since B is the brother of A, B is the paternal uncle of C.

Question 42

Introducing a lady, a man said, "Her mother is the only daughter of my mother-in-law." What is the man to the lady?

Accepted Answer

Option A: Father. The only daughter of the man's mother-in-law is the man's wife. The lady's mother is the man's wife, which means the man is the lady's father.

Question 43

A family consists of six people: P, Q, R, S, T, and U. T's brother is married to P. U is T's mother. Q is the daughter of S and P, and also the granddaughter of R. What is the relationship between R and T?

Accepted Answer

Option A: Father. Q is the daughter of S and P, and T's brother is married to P, so S is T's brother. U is T's mother (and S's mother). Since Q is the granddaughter of R, and U is the grandmother, R must be the grandfather (father of S and T). Thus, R is the father of T.

Question 44

A is the mother of B. B is the sister of C. C is married to D. E is the son of D. How is A related to E?

Accepted Answer

Option B: Grandmother. A is the mother of B and C (since B and C are sisters/siblings). C is married to D, and E is their son. Since A is the mother of E's mother C, A is the grandmother (maternal grandmother) of E.

Question 45

What will come at the place of question mark? 1, 9, 25, 49, ?, 121

Accepted Answer

Option D: 81. The terms are squares of consecutive odd numbers: 1² = 1, 3² = 9, 5² = 25, 7² = 49, 9² = 81, 11² = 121. Thus, the missing number is 81.

Question 46

A series is given, with one number missing. Choose the number that will complete the series: 7, 21, 63, ?, 567, 1701

Accepted Answer

Option A: 189. Each term is multiplied by 3: 7 × 3 = 21, 21 × 3 = 63, 63 × 3 = 189, 189 × 3 = 567, 567 × 3 = 1701. The missing number is 189.

Question 47

Select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series: 2, 9, 28, 65, ?

Accepted Answer

Option D: 126. The pattern is n³ + 1: 1³ + 1 = 2, 2³ + 1 = 9, 3³ + 1 = 28, 4³ + 1 = 65, 5³ + 1 = 125 + 1 = 126.

Question 48

What number should come next in the following series? 10, 11, 15, 24, 40, ?

Accepted Answer

Option A: 65. The successive differences are perfect squares: 11 - 10 = 1 (1²), 15 - 11 = 4 (2²), 24 - 15 = 9 (3²), 40 - 24 = 16 (4²). The next difference is 5² = 25. Thus, 40 + 25 = 65.

Question 49

What will come at the place of question mark? 4, 7, 12, 19, 28, ?

Accepted Answer

Option D: 39. The differences between successive terms are consecutive odd numbers: 7 - 4 = 3, 12 - 7 = 5, 19 - 12 = 7, 28 - 19 = 9. The next difference is 11. Thus, 28 + 11 = 39.
