Straight from the PrepMojo question bank, written to the pattern of the SOF papers. Have a go, then open the answer.

1. Question 1 · Computers

   Statement 1: The Spacebar is the longest key on the keyboard. Statement 2: The Caps Lock key deletes the letter before the cursor. Which of these is true?

   1. A.Only statement 2 is correct
   2. B.Both statements are correct
   3. C.Neither statement is correct
   4. D.Only statement 1 is correct
   Show answer

   Answer: D. Only statement 1 is correct

   Statement 2 is wrong: Caps Lock switches capital letters on and off, and it is Backspace that rubs out a letter. Statement 1 has nothing wrong with it, so only statement 1 is correct.

2. Question 2 · Computers

   Nisha wants to open a folder with a double-click. Which should Nisha use?

   1. A.Left button
   2. B.Moving the whole mouse
   3. C.Right button
   4. D.Scroll wheel
   Show answer

   Answer: A. Left button

   Think about what each part does. The left button clicks to choose, double-clicks to open and is held down to drag. So the answer is: left button.

3. Question 3 · Computers

   Statement 1: A file needs a name so that it can be found again. Statement 2: A file can be opened only on the day it was made. Which of these is true?

   1. A.Both statements are correct
   2. B.Neither statement is correct
   3. C.Only statement 1 is correct
   4. D.Only statement 2 is correct
   Show answer

   Answer: C. Only statement 1 is correct

   Statement 2 is wrong: a saved file can be opened again any day. Statement 1 has nothing wrong with it, so only statement 1 is correct.

4. Question 4 · Computers

   On the computer desktop, which mouse action would you use to open a picture file to look at it?

   1. A.Right-click
   2. B.Click
   3. C.Hover
   4. D.Double-click
   Show answer

   Answer: D. Double-click

   Ask what the job needs: picking, opening, moving, more choices, rolling the page or a quick look. A double-click opens the thing you are pointing at, which is exactly this job.

5. Question 5 · Computers

   Which of these is now often done using a computer or the internet?

   1. A.Going to sleep at night
   2. B.Booking a movie ticket
   3. C.Walking to your friend's house
   4. D.Planting a seed in the ground
   Show answer

   Answer: B. Booking a movie ticket

   Booking a movie ticket: it used to mean queueing at a cinema counter and is now booked from a phone in seconds. Planting a seed in the ground is often thought to have changed because farms use machines now, but the seed still has to be placed in the earth.

6. Question 6 · Logical Reasoning

   Aisha has ₹300 and a friend has ₹118. Together they buy a pencil box for ₹38. How much money is left with them?

   1. A.₹456
   2. B.₹144
   3. C.₹380
   4. D.₹262
   Show answer

   Answer: C. ₹380

   First put the two amounts together: 300 + 118 = 418. Then take away 38: 418 − 38 = 380.

7. Question 7 · Logical Reasoning

   Anika has ₹150 to spend on 5 similar story books, with no money left over. What does one story book cost?

   1. A.₹37
   2. B.₹21
   3. C.₹30
   4. D.₹25
   Show answer

   Answer: C. ₹30

   Share the ₹150 equally between the 5 story books: taking ₹30 away 5 times empties the purse exactly, so one story book costs ₹30.
