A	48
B	65
C	87
D	56

Question 3 Explanation: 

Let the required weight be x kg  Less weight, less cost (Direct proportion)  250 : 200 :: 60 : x  250 * x = (200 * 60)  X= (200 * 60) / 250  X= 8*6  X= 48

Question 4

A goods train runs at the speed of 72 kmph and crosses a 250 m long platform in 26 seconds. What is the length of the goods train?

A	230 m
B	260 m
C	270 m
D	240 m

Question 4 Explanation: 

Speed = (72 * 5 / 18) m/sec = 20 m/sec
Time = 26 sec
Let the length of the train be x metres
Then, (x + 250) / 26 = 20
x + 250 = 520 x = 270

A	Either I or II is strong
B	Neither I nor II is strong
C	Only argument I is strong
D	Only argument II is strong

Question 7 Explanation: 

Clearly, instead of improving upon higher education we should focus on increasing literacy rate first.
Also more degree holders with the number of jobs remaining same will increase unemployment.
So both arguments are strong.

Question 8

A mixture of 70 litres of milk and water contains 10% water. How many litres of water should be added to the mixture so that the mixture contains 12 1/2% water?

A	2
B	5
C	8
D	4

Question 8 Explanation: 

Quantity of milk in the mixture = 90/100 (70) = 63 litres
After adding water, milk would form 87 1/2% of the mixture
Hence, if quantity of mixture after adding x liters of water, (87 1/2) / 100 x = 63 => x = 72
Hence 72 - 70 = 2 litres of water must be added

Question 9

Out of 7 consonants and 4 vowels, how many words of 3 consonants and 2 vowels can be formed?

A	21400
B	25200
C	1050
D	210

Number of ways of selecting (3 consonants out of 7) and (2 vowels out of 4)
(⁷C₃ x ⁴C₂)
(7*6*5/3*2*1) * (4*3/2*1)
=210
Number of groups, each having 3 consonants and 2 vowels = 210.
Each group contains 5 letters.
Number of ways of arranging
5 letters among themselves = 5!
= 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
= 120.
Required number of ways = (210 x 120) = 25200.

Question 10

Statement: There is an unprecedented increase in migration of villagers to urban areas as repeated crop failure has put them into precarious financial situation. Courses of Action: I) The villagers should be provided with alternate source of income in their villages which will make them stay put. II) The migrated villagers should be provided with jobs in the urban areas to help them survive

A	Only I follows
B	Neither I nor II follows
C	Only II follows
D	Both I and II follow
E	Either I or II follows

Question 10 Explanation: 

Clearly, increased migration would add to the burden on city's infrastructure.
So, attempts should be made to make the villagers feel comfortable in the villages itself.
So, only course I follows.

Question 11

A is thrice as good as B in work. A is able to finish a job in 60 days less than B. They can finish the work in how many days if they work together?

A	26 days
B	24 days
C	18 days
D	22 1/2 days

Question 11 Explanation: 

If A completes a work in 1 day, B completes the same work in 3 days
Hence, if the difference is 2 days, B can complete the work in 3 days
=> if the difference is 60 days, B can complete the work in 90 days
=> Amount of work B can do in 1 day = 1/90
Amount of work A can do in 1 day = 3 * (1/90) = 1/30
Amount of work A and B can together do in 1 day = 1/90 + 1/30 = 4/90 = 2/45
=> A and B together can do the work in 45/2 days = 22 ½ days

Question 12

D	Rs. 2765

Question 12 Explanation: 

Amount with CI = 10000 [1+ (12 / 2 * 100)]² = Rs. 11236
Therefore, CI = 11236 – 10000 = Rs. 1236

Question 13

What is the unit digit in the product (3⁶⁵ x 6⁵⁹ x 7⁷¹)?

A	4
B	2
C	6
D	1

Question 13 Explanation: 

Unit digit in 34 = 1 Unit digit in (34)16 = 1
Unit digit in 365 = Unit digit in [ (34)16 x 3 ] = (1 x 3) = 3
Unit digit in 659 = 6
Unit digit in 74 Unit digit in (74)17 is 1.
Unit digit in 771 = Unit digit in [(74)17 x 73] = (1 x 3) = 3
Required digit = Unit digit in (3 x 6 x 3) = 4.

Question 14

If A + B means A is the brother of B; A - B means A is the sister of B and A x B means A is the father of B. Which of the following means that C is the son of M?

A	M - N x C + F
B	F - C + N x M
C	N + M - F x C
D	M x N - C + F

Question 14 Explanation: 

M x N → M is the father of N
N - C → N is the sister of C
and C + F → C is the brother of F
Hence, M is the father of C or C is the son of M

Question 15

Statement: To make the company commercially viable, there is an urgent need to prune the staff strength and borrow money from the financial institutions." — Opinion of a consultant. Assumptions I) The financial institutions lend money for such proposals. II) The product of the company has a potential market. III) The employees of the company are inefficient.

A	None is implicit
B	All are implicit
C	Only I is implicit
D	Only I and II are implicit
E	Only II and III are implicit

Question 15 Explanation: 

Since the consultant talks of borrowing money from financial institutions, so I is implicit.
That the owners wish to make the company 'commercially viable' makes II implicit. Also, it is mentioned that staff strength is to be reduced to make the company 'commercially viable'.
So, III is not implicit

Question 16

Four dice are thrown simultaneously. Find the probability that all of them show the same face?

A	4/216
B	1/216
C	1/36
D	3/216

Question 16 Explanation: 

The total number of elementary events associated to the random experiments of throwing four dice
simultaneously is:
= 6×6×6×6 = 6 ⁴
n(S) = 6 ⁴
Let X be the event that all dice show the same face
X={(1,1,1,1,),(2,2,2,2),(3,3,3,3),(4,4,4,4),(5,5,5,5),(6,6,6,6)}
n(X) = 6
Hence required probability,
= n(X) / n(S)
= 6 / 6 ⁴ = n(X) / n(S) = 6 / 6⁴ = 1 / 216
