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

Question 1 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 2

S1. Commercial energy consumption shows an increasing trend and poses the major challenge for the future. A. The demand, for petroleum, during 1996 -97 and 2006 -07 is anticipated to be 81 million tonnes and 125 million tonnes respectively. B. According to the projections of the 14th Power Survey Committee Report, the electricity generation requirements from utilities will be about 416 billion units by 1996 – 97 and 824 billion units by 2006 – 07. C. The production of coal should reach 303 million tonnes by 1996 – 97 to achieve plan targets and 460 million tonnes by 2006 – 07. D.

Question 3

Statement : Should new universities be established in India ?

Argument :

I. No. We have still not achieved the target of literacy.

II. No. We will have to face the problem of unemployed but highly qualified people.

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

Question 3 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 4

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

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

Question 4 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

Question 5

The greatest number which on dividing 1657 and 2037 leaves remainders 6 and 5 respectively is:

A	123

C	20 minutes
D	60 minutes

Question 8 Explanation:

Let B take x minutes to fill the tank
Part of the tank filled by A and B = (1/60) + (1/x) = (1/20)
Solving this, x= 30

Question 9

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

A	25 years
B	2 year
C	1 year
D	Data inadequate

Question 19 Explanation:

R - Q = Q - T
(R+T) = 2Q
Now given that, (R+T) = 50
2Q = 50
Q = 25
Without knowing the value of R or T, we cant find R -Q. Hence, Data inadequate

Question 20

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	4
B	5
C	8
D	2

Question 20 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 21

A motorboat with a speed of 15 kmph travels 72 km downstream in 4 hrs. Find the time required to travel the same distance upstream.

A	6 hours

Question 25

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

Question 25 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 26

A	50
B	150
C	100
D	200

Question 28 Explanation:

Then, sum of their values = Rs. {(25x / 100) +[(10 * 2x) / 100)]+ (5 * 3x /100)} = Rs. 60x / 100
(60x / 100) = 30
x = (30 x 100) / 60 = 50
Hence, the number of 5 p coins = (3 x 50) = 150
