Directions for questions 151 to 160 : Read carefully the passages given below and answer the questions that follow.Passage-1

The most complex script is Japanese. It consists of a long series of tricky picture characters, ideograms, which symbolize ideas and objects derived from Japanese life and culture. In ancient times the writing was practised as an skill from, studied and guarded by selected scholars. It is beautiful, hard to learn, and represents the discipline of scholarship and the delightful dedication of Japanese writers to this day. Japanese children learn to write their languages all the time they are in school, but very few of them are able to complete the task before they leave. Yet some literacy scholars are persuaded that no one system is more difficult to learn to read and write than any other. Whether or not this is the case, to learn to write always involves practice with a tool which has to be brought under control so that the writer can concentrate on putting together the message rather than on the creation of the sign.

151. State which of the following statements is true.

1] A long series of picture-characters go to make the Japanese script

2] Even the semi-literate peasant and artisan can quickly learn the Japanese script

3] In ancient times ordinary people were encouraged to learn the Japanese script.

4] The picture characters are like Braille which the blind can also read.

152. To grasp the evolution of the Japanese picture-character script, we have to study

1] The teachings of Lao Tze.

2] Japanese life and culture.

3] folk tales of Japan.

4] ancient Japanese education system.

153. Very few students complete learning the Japanese script before leaving school for

following reasons except that

1] it demands disciplined scholarship and aesthetic devotion.

2] it contains hundreds of intricate picture-characters.

3] it is complicated and hard to learn.

4] teachers proficient in Japanese script are a few.

154. If there is a message in the passage, it is

1] the Script should be simple to enable a language to develop at all levels of literacy, so ideas can spread rapidly for progress.

2] a complicated script can retard the spread of ideas and the civilising process of a people.

3] alphabets and language should be rooted in the life and culture of a people.

4] democratising a script ensures the growth of a language and the spread of progress at all levels.

155. What is the challenge posed by the system of picture-signs?

1] The characters in the script lend themselves to different meaning at different times.

2] Many of the characters become obsolete quickly.

3] The writer has to concentrate on the formation of the signs as well as putting his message together.

4] All of the above.

Passage-2

I do not appreciate of forbiddance by law. According to me, it is a worthless attempt at a self-arrogated virtue. Wine is as old as gods and it has come down to us through ages and scriptures as the supreme soothe for the human agony. It is our legacy of an age when gods were mortal and men were divine, and though wine has been accursed as an hateful evil since its first sip by man, he has not stopped drinking at its bubbling fountain of vice and forgetfulness. A nation that needs legislation to maintain the virtue of its people is really unfortunate. Saints have preached great sermons on the immoral of drinking but this Christian scriptures of the saints has always remained a bad sermon in the world of sinners. It is good for the saints to preach but stupid for the state to enforce that preaching, for what is enforced by law ceases to be moral. A virtue is a virtue only when it is acquired through self-realisation, not when is is pushed on the lives of the people. Every new law creates a new group of law-breakers and one more sin is added to the sum-total of human crimes. As Goldsmith says that virtue which requires, to be ever guarded is scarcely worth, the sentinel.

156. When the writer speaks of ‘self-arrogated virtue’, who has arrogated virtue in his view?

1] The law-court

2] The society

3] The state

4] The police

157. No virtue remains a virtue unless

1] it is acquired through self-realisation

2] the sentinel is discarded.

3] the state thrusts it on peoples’lives.

4] [1] and [2]

158. The possible flaw in the author’s logic is that it

1] assumes that is the government, not the society, who want prohibition.

2] does not state and refute arguments in favour of prohibition.

3] does not support argument with statistics.

4] neglects the state’s role in pre-empting crimes for social peace.

159. It is stupid, according to the writer, to enforce the saints’ preaching, because

1] the state shouldn’t set itself up as the guardian of morals.

2] no legislation can maintain for long morality based on sermons.

3] the saint’s gospel and the state’s law enforcement are different issues.

4] neither legislation for nor sermons have succeeded in preventing drinking.

160. State which of the following statements is false.

1] Every part of legislation adds one more offender.

2] The moment law tries to enforce virtue , it no longer remains virtue.

3] Goldsmith says a virtue is one which cannot remain a virtue unless someone guards it constantly.

4] The sinners have always ignored sermons.

Passage-3

The candidates in a Meeting must ask themselves questions such as these:

Why are we gathered here? What do we are supposed to do? At the end of the meeting , what should we have attained? Truthful answers to these questions should go to clearly fix the aim of the meeting. The manner the aim is percieved by the group will to a large extent determine the effectiveness of the meeting. Next, identifying members who need to attend to achieve the defined purpose is equally crucial. Frequently people who have no role whatsoever are asked to join in a meeting to give the appearance of a ‘full room’. This could spell disaster since other participants who are determined to attain something as the meeting, may feel less sincerely tending to give out their best contribution. Besides, such unwanted invitees waste their time as well as others, demoralising the letter. Further, a clear and well as others, demoralising the letter. Further, a clear and well thought of agenda must be adopted so that the path to goal achievement would become visible sooner. Constructing a good agenda involves all the aspects of the issue under consideration in a thematic manner. If the differing stands of any groups are known in advance, the agenda must be drawn to accommodate these, so that everyone gets an opportunity to speak out his opinion. Roles need to be well-defined at the commencement of the meting. A facilitator must be designated specifically to guide the discussions, encourage participation, match and space differing view-points. The responsibilities of time management, generating creative options, also must be designated, according to the purpose of the meeting to facilitate the accomplishment of its goal.

152. The effectiveness of a Meeting depends on

the number of people who attend it.

the way the candidates perceive its purpose.

the time at which it starts.

all of the above.

153. Undesired invitees to a meeting will

Passage- 4

Let’s try to be clear as to what religion isn’t. Firstly, it isn’t morality. It isn’t being good or doing good. Many atheists have been exceptionally virtuous people, and many genuinely religious people have been exceptionally weaked. This does not mean that religion isn’t concerned about our behaviour. Of course it is: in fact, it adds its own severer penalties to those which nature and society impose upon the offender. More serious still, bad behaviour- even ordinary, respectable self-seeking – upsets a religious man’s relationship with the Divine, and is apt to leave him weak and lonely and miserable. Nevertheless, religion isn’t matter of how we act outwardly but rather of the inner attitude from which our behaviour springs. For instance, Ram and Sheela can do precisely the same thing in the same way (such as giving their lives to save a drowning man) yet the inside story is quite different. Sheela acts out of a sense of social duty or humanitarian compassion, whereas Ram may act from a motive which means nothing to Sheela – from a love for God which is necessarily love for all God’s creatures, or even identification with them. Ram feels he is that drowning man.

156. A man who is religious but bad in behaviour

pretends to do good at times in order to earn God’s forgiveness.

thinks always of evil while talking of doing good.

upsets his relationship with his Maker.

preaches good behaviour to others.

157. Which of the following statements is false?

Penalties imposed by religion are more severe than those by nature or society.

When a man feels week, lonely or miserable he has necessarily indulged in bad behaviour.

Religion does not mean being good or doing good.

Some religious minded people are exceptionally wicked.

158. In the example of Ram and Sheela, the message that the writer conveys is that

noble acts need not stem from social or humanitarian motives.

we act selflessly, as from social or humanitarian motives, as from our inner attitude to love God and his creatures.

love of God and his creatures is nobler than the love of one’s fellow-beings.

love of one’s fellow-beings is same as the love of God.

159. In the author’s perspective, bad behaviour must include behaviour which is

rude

ordinary

unthinking

irresponsible

160. The writer says that a truly religious man is one who behaves

after consulting his conscience.

according to his inner attitude to doing good.

keeping in mind how others will view his behaviour.

according to his ideas of heaven and hell.

Passage- 5

The most formidable animal in the forests, that grew around the Mediterranean eight thousand years ago was the great reindeer. It stood six foot high at the shoulders and weighed about a ton. Apart from eye-witness account we know their dimensions from their fossilised bones and, more importantly, their appearance from the superb portraits of them painted by prehistoric man, particularly in the cave of Lascaux in Central France. It is possible that the act of painting played a part in the rituals designed to bring success in hunting and to ensure the continued fertility of the creatures on which people depended for food. Opposed to this is the view that at the time the paintings were made, the game was so abundant that magic was hardly required to find it. Whatever the differing views about the reindeers’ role in the ritual, it is clear that by 8000 BC at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea, the reindeer had dominated the minds of the men who held it great respect. In Catal Huyuk in Central turkey, one of the earliest big towns to have developed around 6400 years age, the excavator found in several shrines reindeer’s heads modelled in clay protruding from the walls. It is not certain that the people of Catal Huyuk offered the reindeer for sacrifice but their domestication led to the reduction of reindeers’ size, both in body and in horns. But it is Memphis, capital of ancient Egypt around 2000BC that the reindeer commanded the highest respect, taking its place among other important deities in all Egypt.

165. All of the following are true, except

Memphis was the capital of ancient Egypt.

domestication of the reindeer by the people of Catal Huyuk affected its size.

in the forests around the Mediterranean sea the reindeer was 6 foot high at the shoulders.

The size of the prehistoric reindeer can gauged from stone inscriptions.

61. S.I = 60,000 * 10 /100

= Rs. 6000

Rent received = 1500 * 12

= 18000

Therefore debt cleared in one year = 18000 – 6000

=12000

Therefore in 5 years.

62. 800 – 600 = 200

n = 6 months. = 1 /2 year

r = 100 I /Pn

= 100 * 15.50/ 200 * 1/2

= 1550 / 100

= 15.5%

63. A = P ( 1 + r/ 1002 ( 1 + r /100)

= 2400 ( 1+ 5 /1002 ( 1 + 2 1/2/100)

= Rs. 2712.15

Therefore C. I. = 2712.15 -150; 2400

= Rs. 312.15

64. Perimeter of square = 4a = 4 * 45

=180 m

Length of fence = 10 * 180

=1800m. with 10 lines of wire.

Therefore cost of wire = 1.50 * 1800

= Rs. 2700

65. External volume = l * b * h

= 10 * 6 * 4

= 240 cm3

Internal dimensions = ( 10 -2); ( 6- 2); ( 4- 2)

= 8 , 4 , 2 cm.

Internal volume = 8 * 4 * 2

= 64 cm3

Therefore volume of cube = 240 – 64

= 176 cm3

66. Let radii –> 2x and 3x

Let height –> 5y and 3y

V1 /V 2= ( 22 /7 ) ( 2x ) 2 ( 5 y ) / ( 22 /7 ) ( 3x ) 2 ( 3y )

= 20 / 27

67. Diameter of a roller = 60 cm

r = 30 cm = 0.30 m

Height of roller = 1.00 m

Curved surface area = 2 ( 22 / 7 ) rh

= 2 * ( 22 / 7 ) * 0.30 * 1

= 1.32 / 7

= 0.88

Area covered by roller = 500 * 0.88

= 88 * 5

= 440 cm2

Therefore cost of levelling = 0.50 * 440

=5 * 44

= 220

68. Since a+b+c = 0

a+b = -c

(a+b2=(-c2)

a2+2ab+b2=c2

a2+b2-c2= -2ab

(a2+b2+c2) 2=(-2ab) 2

or

a4+b4+c4+2a2b2-2b2c2-2c

2a2=4a2b2

or

a4+b4+c4=2a2b2+2b2c2+2c2a2

or

69. Let x be the total value of the property.

x = x/2+x/4+1/5x+10000

= (10+5+4)x/20+10000

= 19x/20+10000

= 20*10000

= 200000

70. m/n = 2/3

3m = 2n

now, 3m+5n/6m-n = 2n+5n/4n-n = 7n/3n = 7/3

71. a+b = 27

5a+11b = 195

solving simultaneously we have,

a = 17 b = 10

72. 40% of 5/6 = 40/100*5/6 = 1/3

73. 3 leaps of the dog = 4 leaps of the hare.

1 leap of the dog = 4/3 leaps of the hare.

4 leaps of the dog = 16/3 leaps of the hare.

Speed of the dog : Speed of the hare

16: 15

74. 9 days earlier mean that the work should be completed in (42-9) = 33 days.

No. of Men = 42*55/33 = 70

Hence the no. of extra men = 70-55

=15 men

75. Total cost of the electronic buzzer = Rs.215+Rs.25 = Rs.240

Selling Price = Rs.300

Profit% = 60/240*100 = 25%

76. 7500*20%=1500

No of valid votes=6000

45% of 6000=2700

Hence[1]

77. At the speed of 60 kmph, aunt will reach nashik in 4 hours.

The distance between mumbai and nashik is 240 kms.

If 120 km are to be covered in 3 hours then aunt should travel at the uniform speed of

120/3 = 40kmph

78. If x and y are the ages of Nitya and Nitya’s aunt,

x+y = 63

y-x = 4(x-4)

we have Nitya’s age = 15 years

her aunt’s age = 48 years

79. First watch ticks after 95/90 seconds.

second watch after 323/315 seconds.

LCM = 19*5*17/45 seconds.

No. of times they will tick in first 3600 seconds = 3600/(19*5*17)/45

Once they have ticked together in the begining , 50 in 1 hour they tick 100+1 = 101 times

80. If area = S, Sides = sqrt(S)

If side is doubled i.e. 2sqrt(S)

area = {2sqrt(S)}2

81. Let a and b be the numbers where b is the bigger number.

b =3/2a

a-b = 2400(given)

3/2a2= 2400

a2= 1600

a = 40

82. 6 M = 8W, 2W = 3B, 4B = 5G

1 G = Rs. 50 a day.

Now, 1B = 5/4G 1 W = 3/2 * 5/4G

1 M= 8/6* 3/2* 5/4G = 5/2G

1 M = 5/2 * 50 = 125/-Rs.

83. The distance covered by the train in 30 seconds = 6000/3600* 30 metres

= 500 metres.

Length of the Bridge = 500 – 150

= 350m.

84. If we assume that the sum = Rs. 100

Then, 1st rate of interest = 100*100/100*5 = 20

2nd rate of interest = 200*100/100*12 = 16 2/3

76n1=5, x1= 42.2 n2 = 4, x2 = 35.5

x12 = n1×1+ n2×2 / n1+n2

88. A takes 6 hours to complete a work.

He can complete 1/6th of the work in one hour.(taking complete work as 1.)

B takes 8 hours to complete it.

He can complete 1/8th of the work in one hour.

Together, A and B can complete,

1/6+1/8 = 14/48 = 7/24 of the work.

Hour Work

1 7/24

? 24/24

Hence, [1]

89. In one hour, C can complete 1/12th of the work.

In two hours, he can complete 1/12*2 = 2/12th of the work.

A and B start work simultaneously,

together work completed by A and B,

1/6+1/8 = 14/48 work = 7/24 work.

In 2 hours they complete 7/24*2 = 7/12 work

Total work done by A,B,C = 7/12+2/12 = 9/12

Total work to be completed = 12/12 or 1

Remaining work = 3/12

Hour work done by A

1 1/6

? 3/12

3/12*6 = 1.5 hours

Hence[2]

90./4, *7

Hence[1]

91. In 1 hour C can empty 1/8th of tank

In 1 hour amount of water filled in the tank = A+B-C

= 1/6+1/10-1/8

68/480 = 17/120

Hour Water filled in tank

1 17/120

? 120/120

= 120/17 = 7.05 hours

92. Let the present ages of Ram and Shyam be R and S resp.

3R-2S = 10 — I

4S-5R = 10 — II

15R-10S = 50

-15R+12S = 30

2S = 80

S = 40

R = 30

Hence,[1]

93. Let their present ages be A and B.

3A-B = 100 — I

2A-B = 50 — II

3A-B = 100

-2A-B = 50

A = 50

B = 50

Sum of their ages = A+B

=100

Hence[2]

94. Let their present ages be X and Y.

X+Y = 105 –I

1.5X-2Y = 0 –II

X = 60

Y = 45

Hence[4]

95. M D H L

old 10 20 5 20

new x 5 10 100

10/x = 5/20*10/5*20/100

x = 100

96.a4+b4 = (a2+ab+b2)(a2-ab+b2)

=(a2+4a+8)(a2-4a+8)

=(a2+8)2-(4a)2

=a2+64

Hence[3]

97. x = 10*2 = 20 days

100 men would require 20 days from 46 days

46+20 = 66 days

But we want to complete the work in 56 days.

Hence[1]

98. Exam 1 = 30/50*100 = 60%

Exam 2 = 40/50*100 = 80%

Increase in percent =20%

percent in increase = 20/60*100 = 33 1/3%

99. a)30/100*60/100 = 18/100 = 18%

b)30% is 50% of 60%

c)60% is 200% of 30%

100. a)Old price of sugar = Rs.10/-

New price of sugar = Rs.12.5/-

Old consumption = (10*100) = 1000

New consumption = (12.5*x)= 1000

x = 1000/12.5 = Rs.80/-

Decrease in consumption = 20/100*100 = 20%

b) old price = Rs.10

New price=Rs.15

10*100 = 1000

15*x = 1000

x = 1000/15 = 66.66Rs.

Decrease in consumption = 33.33%

101. a)Let my cost price be 100

Selling price = 90

Profit for Mr. X = 10

Profit % = 10/90*100 = 11.11%

b) Let cost price be 100

Selling Price = 900

My loss = 10 = 10/100*100 = 10%

102. Let cost price be 100 of both horses.

horse1 = S.P. = 110

horse 2 = S.P.= 90

Total cost price = 100+100=200

total selling price= 110+90 = 200

Hence[3]

103. Horse 1- C.P S.P.

x 100

? 120

S.P. = C.P.(100+profit%/100)

x = 83.33

Horse 2- C.P S.P.

y 100

? 80

y = 125

Total cost price = cost price of Horse1+cost price of Horse2

= 125 + 83.33 = 208.33

Total S.P.= 100+100 = 200

loss = 8.33

% of loss = 4%

Hence[2]

104. 3 years – 2 times

6 years – 4 times

9 years – 6 times

12 years – 8 times

105. In 60 min – box is full.

In 59 min – box is half filled.

2

106. A = 100(1+10/100)

= 100(110/100*110/100)

= 121

107 . Income = Rs.10/-

20%*50 = 10

capital gain = 55-45 = 10

gain = 10+10 = 20

% gain = 20/45*100 = 44.45%

108. Suppose goods cost him Rs.1/kg, then he sells goods costing Rs. 0.95 for Rs.1/-

gain = 1-0.95 = 0.05

% gain = 0.05/0.95*100 = 500/95 = 5%

Hence[1]

109. Let r be the rate of interest.

600*2*r/100 + 150*4*r/100 = 90

1200r/100 + 600r/100 = 90

r = 5

Hence[2]

110. p = Rs.455, n = 4months = 1/3 year, rate = 5%

Amount of Rs.100 = (455*1/3*5)/100 = 107.58

455 ?

107.58 100

= 423

q = Rs.450, n = 2months = 1/6 year, rate = 5%

Amount of Rs.100 = (450*1/6*5)/100 = 103.75

450 ?

103.75 100

= 434

Sum to be repaid to p = 434-423 = Rs.11

Hence [3]

111. The total cost of the new projects is 125+150+235=Rs510crores

Hence [2]

112. Hotel Centaur has the lowest cost per room

Hence [1]

113. The average number of rooms to be completed in the 2 years

=(250+350+450)/2

=525

Hence[1]

61. A = 50pts., B = 40pts.

B = 50pts., C = 30pts.

l.c.m. of 50 and 40 is 200

If B gets 200, A gets 250, C gets 150pts.

If A gets 50, C gets 50*150/250 = 30pts.

Hence[1]

62. Work done by x and y in 5 min = 5(10+15/150) = 5/6

Remaining work = 1/6

for doing 1/15 work, q takes 1 min.

time.

1/3rd of usual time = 45min.

1/3rd of usual time taken to travel by = 45-15

1/3rd of usual time taken to travel AB = 10kms = 15min.

Usual time taken to travel 10km = 45 min

usual speed = 10*60/45 = 40/3 km/hr

Usual time taken to travel Ay = 45*3 =135 min = 2 hrs.15min.

Distance = 40/3*135/60 = 90/3 = 30 km

Total distance = 30+30 = 60km

Hence[1]

65. 12km/hr = 12*100/60 = 200metres/min

Distance of the cat from the rat = 50+200 = 250metres

Since both are moving in same direction, the rat gains 15-12 = 3km/hr i.e. 50 metres/min

Time required to overtake = 250/50 = 5 min

Hence [1]

66. Let time be t hrs after 5a.m.

6.5t-5 = 30

6.5t = 35

t = 5 1/3 hrs.

The resoirvoir will fill at 5a.m.+5 hrs20min = 10.20a.m.

Hence[3]

67. speed down the river = 5km/hr

speed up the river = 5/(1 1/3) = 3.75 km/hr

speed of the current = 1/2(5-3.75) = 0.625 km/hr

Hence[1]

68. 15m + 10b = 12m+20b

3m = 10b

money earned by 10 boys = Rs.100

Rs.100 = money earned by 3 men.

1 man should be paid 100/3 = Rs.33.33

Hence[2]

69.The cop gains 1/8-1/12 = 1/24 km/min = 41 2/3 m/min

To gain 100m, time, 100/(41 2/3) = 2.4 min

The thief has gone ahead by 2.4*1/12*1000 = 200m

Hence [1]

70. If the sides are 5x, 6x and 7x

s = 18x/2 = 9x

Area = sqrt[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)] = 800

= sqrt[9x(9x-5x)(9x-6x)(9x-7x)] = 800

x = sqrt[800/sqrt(216)]

Hence [2]

71. s = a+b+c+d/2 = 50/2 = 25

Area of the quadrilateral = sqrt(10*13*15*12) = 30*sqrt(26)cm2

Hence [1]

72. Area of 4 walls = perimeter*height

= 2(40+15)*h

= 110*h

Area = 7500/5 = 1500

1500 = 110h

h = 13.63

Hence[2]

73. Area = 1/2(sum of parallel sides * height)

= 1/2 * sum of sides *20

800 = 10*sum of parallel sides

80 = sum of parallel sides

x + (x+10) = 80

x = 35

other side = 45

Hence[1]

74. 450/200

200r = 900

r = 4.5 cm

Hence[4]

75 . density of steel is 1 i.e. iron is 8

weight of iron ball = weight of steel

volume of iron *8 = volume of steel *1

r3*8 = 512

r3= 512/8 = 64

r = 4

diameter = 8

Hence[4]

76. sc = 2*22/7*r*h = 2*22/7*5*3 = 30*22/7 cm2

volume = 22/7*r*r*h = 75*22/7 cm2

Hence [4]

77. New volume/old volume = (22/7*49*r*r*h)/(22/7*r*r*25*h) = 49/25

If old is 25, new is 49, then increase is 24

increase% = 24/25*100 = 96%

Hence[2]

78. Length of water column = 6000/60

volume of water = 100*10*200 = 2*105m3

weight of water = 2*105*1000kgs

= 2*105 tons

Hence[3]

79. Length of water column = 6000/60 = 100m/min

volume of water = 100*10*200 = 2*10 5m3

Weight of water = 2*105*1000kgs

= 2*105 tons

Hence[3]

80. Total surface area of a cylinder = 2*22/7*r*h+2*22/7*r*r

= 2*22/7*7*10+2*22/7*7*7

= 440+308

= 748

Hence[1]

81. 2*22/7*r*h

= 2*22/7*2*20

= 80*22/7

Hence[2]

82. r+h = 40

2*22/7*r*r+2*22/7*r*h = 2*22/7*r(r+h)

2*22/7*r(r+h) = 1760

r = 7

h = 33

volume = 22/7*r*r*h = 22/7*7*7*33 = 5082 m3

Hence[3]

83. Let 3r,4r be the radii

Let 2h, 3h be the height.

Ratio of volumes = 1/2

Hence [1]

84. Let heights = h,2h

Let radii be r and R

22/7*r*r*h = 2*22/7*R*R*h

r*r = 2(R*R)

r/R = sqrt(2)/1

Hence[3]

85. Let correct time be x.

distance travelled in (x+10) min. at 20km/hr

Distance travelled in (x+2) at 30km/hr

(x+10)*20/60 = (x+2))*30/60

x = 14 min.

Hence [3]

86. x/20-x/40 = 6

2x-x/40 = 6x = 240km

Hence[2]

87. Let speed be x.

360/x – 360/(x+20) = 3

360(x+20)-360x = 3x(x+20)

(x+60)(x-40)

x = 40

Hence [1]

88. Suppose the first distance is covered in x hours and 2nd distance in y hours.

4x+6y = 30

6x+4y = 32

Solving equations,

x = 3.6 hrs.,y = 2.6 hrs.

Total time = 6.2 hrs.

Hence[2]

89. Distance covered by thief in 1hr. is 20km.

Now 10 km will be compensated in 1 hr.,

20 km will be compensated in 2 hrs.

So, he overtakes the thief at 4p.m.

Hence[3]

90. 1/2:1/3 = 3:2

If y takes 2 min., x takes 3 mins.

If y takes 24 min, x takes 24*3/2 = 36 min.

Hence[4]

91. -19,-17, -13,-11,-7

92. +1,-3

93. *2.5, *3.5, *4.5, *5.5, *6.5

94. +7,*7

95. Area of circle = 22/7*r*r = 22/7*21*21 = 1386

Area of triangle = 1/2 b*h

96. Pens Books

20 40

30

10 10

If the number of Pens and books are interchanged the same amount will be spent since the ratio of pens to books is 1:1 the . Hence[2]

97.+88, -143

98. 7695/855=9, 69255/7695=9, …..5609655/623295=9

99. Weight of jar = w1g

Weight of liquid = w2-w

Weight of liquid(half filled with liquid) = w2-w1

Weight of liquid filled = 2(w2-w1)

Weight of jar + weight of liquid = w1+2(w2-w1)

= 2w2-w1

Hence [3]

100. In finding average speed, we use Harmonic mean.

H.M.= 1/{1/3[1/x+1/2x+1/3x]}= 18x/11 km/hr.

Hence[4]

101. Draw XE to YZ

By pythagoras theorem,

(XE) 2= (XY) 2-(YE) 2= (15) 2-(9) 2 =144

Let AB = CD = x.

AD/XE = AY/EY

x = 71/5

x2= 51.84

Hence [3]

102. Total money deposited = Rs.12*150 = Rs.1800

Interest on Rs.150 for 12 months = 150*12/12*6*1/100 = 9

Interest on Rs.150 for 11 months = 150*11/12*6*1/100 = 33/4

Interest on Rs.150 for 1 month = 150*1/12*6*1/100 = 3/4

Total interest = 9/1+33/4+3/4 = Rs.18

Total amount due = 1800+18 = Rs.1818

Hence [3]

103. Volume of core = 22/7*10/4*10/4*4cm3

Volume of core with paper = 22/7*d/4*d/4*4cm3

Volume of paper alone = 22/7[d2/16-102/16]*4cm2

= 22/7*[d2-100/4]cm3

Also, volume of paper = 22/7*100*100*4*0.1/10cm3

= 100*22/7*400*0.1/10cm3

= 400cm3

400*22/7 = 22/7(d2-100)/4

d2 = sqrt(1700) = 41.2(approx)

Hence[1]

104. Total are = 4 area(triangleOAB)

= 4*1/2*10*1.5 = 30cm2

Hence[1]

105. floor space required = 100m2

Air space required = 100*5.5m3 = 550m3

Height = 550/100 = 5.5m

Hence[1]

106. 64+64×2 = 64(1+x2)

25+25×2 = 25(1+x2)

sqrt(64+64×2)-sqrt(25+25×2) = 8sqrt(1+x2)-5sqrt(1+x2)

= 3sqrt(1.x2)

Hence [1]

107. Measure of arc XYZ = XOY

= 2(XDY)

=2(XYP)

=2*50o = 100o

Hence [1]

108. Let the two no.s be x and y.

(x2/y3)/(x3/y2) = 1/20

x2/y3*y2/x3 = 1/20

1/xy = 1/20

We cannot find x:y

Hence[4]

109. 1st investment = An investment of Rs.150 fetches a dividend of Rs.5.50

Rate = 5.50/150*100 = 36.67%(approx)

2nd investment = An investment of Rs.15 fetches a dividend of Rs.0.35

Rate = 0.35/15*100 = 86.37%(approx)

Hence[1]

110. If a+b+c = 0, then a3+b3+c3 = 3abc

Putting x-y = a,y-z = b, x-z = c

Then a+b+c = 0

The factors are 3(x-y)(y-z)(x-z)

Hence[1]

111. A.

112. C.

113. A. No of companies across different types of employee relations in 10 – 50 lacs category is 65 Total profits generated by then is 13.00

Average profit = 13.0 / 65 * 107

= 130 / 65 * 106 = 20 lacs.

114. b. Avg profit of JDM com = 80 lacs

no. of cos = 10

Therefore Total profit = 800 lacs

Avg profit of Limited cons. Type firms = 90 lacs

No. of cos = 5

Total profit = 450 lacs

Therefore JDM cos are > by 800 – 450 = 350 lacs = 3.5 crores.

115.d. Avg profit of no share in mgmt types = 280 lacs

total profits = 280 * 5 = 1400 lacs.

Total no of cos in full consultations types = 7

Therefore Avg profit to be made = 1400 / 7 = 200 lacs.

( note it is a >- greater than or equal to sign for cust category or profits.)

116. b. The most number of companies are under this type of employee relations.

117.a.

118.d. In case of joint decision making from 50 – 100 lacs ( 10 cos) to 100 – 150 lacs (40 cos).

119. c. Joint decision making / Full consultation = 40 / 20 = Limited consultation / No share in mgmt = 8 / 4.

= No share in mgmt / full employee control = 4/2 = 2.

120. b. As seen above No share mgmt occurs in numerator in one case and in denominator in another.

121. Statement (2) alone is sufficient because 5 years ago his age should have been 11.

130. Both are required.Hence[3]

131. Both the statements together give point P in the first or the second Quadrant.Hence[5]

132. Statement 2 alone is sufficient as the tangent PQ is perpendicular to QR.Hence[2]

133. From statement 1 –> ( a )4 = a 4

From statement 2–> a 6 = 26a = 6

Hence[2]

134. From statement 1 2

z = 1 /2 y

200 = 1 /2 y

y = 400

x = y = 400

Hence[3]

135. From statement 1– Satish is older than Ganesh

From statement 2 — no conclusion can be drawn

Hence[1]

136. From statement 1 — area = 30

Therefore each side = 30 / 4

From statement 2 — length of diagonal is given. Both the statements by

themselves satisfy the conditions. Hence[4]

137. From statement 1 — 2 (22 /7)r = 10 ( 22 / 7)r = 5

2( 22 / 7)r : (22 / 7) r2

1:4

Hence[4]

138. We can derive the answer by combining both the statements.Hence[3]

139. From statement 1 — we get the triangle PQR

From statement 2 — we go the length

Hence[3]

140. From both the statements a simultaneous equation can be formed.Hence[3]

141. From statement 1– y 2 = xz

y= sqrt xz

From statement 2 — y =sqrt x2

y= x

but we cannot determine the value.

Hence[5]

142. From statement 1 — we do not have the rate at which it emplies.

From statement 2– we do not have the rate at which it fills.

Hence[3]

143. Since we do not know whether interest is simple or compound, we cannot calculate the

ratio.Hence[5]

144. From statement 1 2 we get the speed of A.Hence[3]

145. Total surface area of a cylinder = 2 (22 /7) rh + 2 (22 /7 )r 2

From both the statements we get the values of r h.

Hence[3]

146. From statement I we do not know the distance

Statement 2 alone is sufficient.

Hence[2]

147. From statement II we get the cost. Hence II is sufficient.Hence[2]

148. Statement II alone does not give the principal. Hence combining both statement we get

the rate of S.I. Hence[3]

149. From statement I we get the quantity not the cost. Hence both the statements are

required.Hence[3]

150. From statement I we can find the time required by A B. Hence[1]

76. From both the statements it is not possible to determine the value of the area of a parallegogram

Hence [ 5 ]

77. From statement I —- P = b 3 – 1

Q = n 3 + 1

As b > 1, Q > P because (b 3 + 1) is greater than b 3 – 1

From statement II à p = bq

p > q

Hence [ 4 ]

78. From statement I we know that e > 0

from statement II à a & b are -ve

but we do not knw if c is greater than zero

d will definetely be greater than zero.

Therefore [ 5 ]

79. From statement I : Q – 20 is an integer bet we cannot say if Q is even or odd

From statement II Q – 10 is an odd integer as odd – even = odd

Q is an odd integer

And Q – 5 is even

Hence [ 2 ]

80. From statement I we have a 2 = 36 \ A = 6

from statement II we have B = ab

Therefore from both the answers we have if A > B

Hence [ 3 ]

81. From statement I à value at the end of the year = 5 / 6 value at the beginning of the year

146. Let the sum interested at 6% be x

X * 7 * 6 / 100 = 100

= ( 13400 – x ) * 7 * 4 / 100

42 x / 10 = 93800 – 7x / 25

42 x = 93800 * 4 – 28 x

70 x = 93800 * 4 / 70 = Rs 5360

Hence[1]

147. Let ‘d ‘ be the distance and t’ be the normal time

D / 6 = t – 10 / 60

D / 5 = t + 10 / 60

D / 6 – d / 5 = – 10 / 60 – 10 / 60

5d – 6d / 30 = -20 / 60

-2d = -20

d = 10 km

Hence [ 1 ]

148. Each number in the series in the precious numbers added to the sum of its digits.

the last no. = 1 + 4 + 7 + 147

= 159

Hence [ 3 ]

149. Both the digits must be even and odd multiples of 6 will not be divisibleby 12

The number is 42

And its reverse is 24

Hence [ 1 ]

150. Let there be x tractors

Area of farm = 2x 2

When one tractor is stolen x – 1 will

Remain 2x 2 – 2(x – 1) 2 = 62

Solving

2x 2 – 2 (x 2 – 2x + 1) = 62

2x 2 – 2x 2 + 4x – 2 = 62

4x = 60

x = 15

No. of tractors = 15 – 1 = 14

Hence [ 1 ]

151. All seven digits with have to be used to make a number greater than a million.

Since there are 3 6’s and 2 7’s the number of distinct persutations = 7! / 2! 3!

But all persutations starting with zero should let be counted

7! / 2! 3! – 5! / 2! 3!

= 410

Hence [1]

152. Let the speed of the burglar and the guard be ‘x’ min /sec and ‘y’ min / sec

The guard covered the distance in 3min 10 sec for which the thief took 5 minutes

Therefore 300 x = 190 Y

30x = 19y

Also given that

356 * x = 3560 m

x = 10 m / sec

and y = 300 * 10 / 190 = 15.07 m / sec

Hence [ 1 ]

153. Let profit be Rs p

Then x gets 0.25 p. and y gets 0.75 p. in the ratio of their investement.

Y pay Rs. 10, 000 per month for 8 months

= 10000 * 8 = Rs 80, 000

= 0.25 p + 80000 = 0.75 p – 80000

0. 5 p = 160000

P = 320, 000

Hence [2]

154. The series is 3*1+1, 4*3+1 and so on

155. For any positions of A B & C there are 2 ways of completing the queue either D willl be

ahead or behind E since of the total combinations of forming a queue half will have D ahead

But in this case = 60

Hence[ 1 ]

156. One task = 5 men 10 hrs 1 day = 50 – man hours

same task = 4 women 8 hrs 2 days = 64 – women hours

same tassk = 5 boys 5 hrs 4 days = 100 – boy hours

each day total labour available = 20 men = (200 man hours) + 9 women (72 women hours ) + 10 boys = 50 boy hours

200 * 100 / 50 + 72 * 100 / 64 + 50

= 400 + 150 + 50

= 600 boy hours

boy hours task days

100 1 1

= 1000 * 100 / 600 = 167 days

from 1st march 167 days = 14 th August.

Hence [ 4 ]

157. Let y’s salary be x

x’s salary = 150 x

z’s salary = 75 x / 100

x + 75 x / 100 + 150x / 100 = 325 x / 100

325x / 100 = 3, 25, 000

x = 325000 * 100 / 325 = 1, 00, 000.

[ Hence ]

158. Distance Time Speed Days

x 24 – 18 = 6 hrs y 200

2x 24 – 9 = 15 hrs 2y ?

Days = 200 * 2x / x * 6 / 15 * y / 2y = 80 days.

Hence [ 1 ]

159. In 1 minute, tyre flat = 1 / 10 ——– Puncture (I)

In 1 minute, tyre flat = 1 / 5 ——– puncture (II)

Together 1 / 10 + 1 / 5 = 3 / 10 in one minute

Remaining = 7 / 10

= 7 / 10 * 10 / 3 = 7 / 3

= 2 1/ 3 minutes

Hence[1]

160. ( 1 ) ( 1 ) / 20 – 4 = 1 / 16

Hence [1]

161. Two numbers whose sum is 11 and product of their squares is 30 are sqrt 5 & sqrt 6

sqrt 11 + 2 sqrt 30

= sqrt ( sqrt 5 + sqrt 6 ) 2

= ( sqrt5 + sqrt 6 )

Hence [ 1 ]

162. 17164 – 3 = 17161

sqrt 17161 = 131

No. of men in the last row was 131

Hence [ 2 ]

163. Let the term be x : x + 50

X / x + 50 = 3 / 5

5x = 3x + 150 = 2x = 150

x = 75

Hence [4]

164. The ratio of coins = 3/1 : 2/2 : 4/4

= 3 : 1 : 1

The amount of 25 paise coins is Rs. 60

No of coins = 60 / 0.25

= 240 coins

Hence [1]

165. J + A + V = 11250

J = ¼ ( A + V )

4 J = A + V

5 J = 11250

J = 11250 / 5 = 2250

Hence [ 3 ]

166. Let x invest Rs a for 12 months Y invest Rs 4a for 4 months Z invest Rs 3a for 2 months

The ratio is 12a : 16a : 6a

Z’s share = Rs 8500 * 3 / 17 = Rs 1500

Hence [ 4 ]

167. S. P of 75 toys = C P of 75 toys

Let CP of each toy = Rs 1

CP of 50 toys = Rs 50

Passage –1

Ian Fleming’s evil globe-fish – also known as puffer, blowfish, swellfish, or in Japanese, fugu – is one of the most mysterious creatures of the sea. It is perhaps the world’s most deadly fish, yet in Japan the honorable fugu is the epitome of gourmet dining.

About 100 species of puffers in several closely related families can be found throughout the world. Their most obvious characteristic is their ability to balloon out from a reasonable fish shape into a sphere two or three times large. When frightened, excited, or annoyed, they gulp water, or even air, into a sac on the belly. It swells inside their tough, elastic skin, like an inner tube inside a tire, so as to discourage predators or intimidate rivals. When the fish feels safe, it squirts out the water or releases the air, deflating to its normal shape.

In Japan, eating fugu has been the gastronomic version of Russian roulette for centuries. Sometimes a diner stills losses the gamble. His chopsticks clatter to the table from nerveless fingers; he pales; his breathing labours. It is often the subject of traditional senryu verse. Last night he and I ate fugu;

Today, I help carry his coffin

“It’s a terrible death,” a Japanese restaurant owner told me. “Even though you can think very clearly, your arms and legs become numb. It becomes impossible to sit up. You can think but cannot speak, cannot move, and soon cannot breathe.”

Why the Japanese, who venerate hygiene, should make a ritual of eating deadly poisonous fish, is difficult for foreigners to comprehend. fugu ovaries, intestine, and liver can be so deadly that if even a tiny touch of them is left in the flesh, the gourmet dies, often within minutes. About 60 percent of puffer poisonings prove fatal.

When eating fugu, the diner puts his life in the hands of the chef. Before practicing their risky art, all fugu cooks must be licensed and must take intensive courses, extensive apprenticeship, and written exams.

To eat fugu liver is the height of exotica. It is one of the most poisonous parts of the fish, and techniques for detoxifying it are not dependable. Chefs are prohibited from serving fugu liver, but they sometimes relent under the impassioned pleas of gourmets. Mitsugoro Bando had four servings and paid the ultimate price.

Despite the danger, demand for puffers is increasing so fast that the Japanese fishing grounds are being depleted. Today the Japanese are successfully culturing the fish.

Every year from October through March, millions of diners bet their lives on not getting fatally poisoned. Thanks to strict regulation of restaurants and wholesalers, the number that loses decreases each year. But this droll and perposterous fish with the goggling eyes, swollen belly, and floppy fins remains the world’s most deadly feast. The enigma of the fugu is summed up in the traditional verse:

Those who eat fugu soap are stupid

But whose who don’t eat fugu soup are also stupid.

151. A fugu eater is likely to lose his life

Almost always sometimes often rarely.

152. All the following are the symptoms of fugu poisoning except, not being able to

speak think move breathe.

153. Of the least poisonous parts of fugu is/are its

ovaries intestines heart liver.

154. Of those affected by fugu poisoning, the survival rate is about.

50% 60% 30% 40%

155. The height of fugu season is during the

summer rainy season spring winter

156. What the traditional verse really implies is

wise people eat fugu soup wise people don’t eat fugu soup.

[1] and [2] none of the above.

Passage – 2

A majority of scientists now agree that the “ozone hole” developed over the Antarctica due to the greatly increased use of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Though they were regarded as chemically inert materials, under conditions in the atmosphere with intense solar radiation CFCs have reacted with ozone. As the chlorine oxide amounts increased,, the ozone amount in the stratosphere (which protect the earth from the sun’s ultraviolet radiation) fell. A wide range of effects through “ozone hole” was expected: skin cancers, damage to crops and animals and changes in the worlds weather patterns. Some international agreements including the Earth Summit (1992) contain provisions to reduce the release of CFSs and other harmful chemicals drastically by 2000 AD. The limit set by the European Union include complete phasing out by 1994 of Halons, the range of compounds containing Bromine used in fire extinguishers, as these are considered very harmful to atmospheric ozone. The heightened awareness in recent years keep earth’s environment free of pollutants has produced one salutary effect in the form of two innovations: (1) the first CFC-free refrigerator made by a German firm DKK in 1992, using propane and butane as the coolant and pentane for the insulating foam (2)New engine fitted to jet aircraft to generate less oxides of nitrogen (NOX) which are damaging to ozone.

= 5 / 25 * 25 * 100 / 23

= 21.74%

Hence [ 4 ]

134. Let original population = x

6% of x = 3600

x = 3600 * 100 / 6

= 60, 000

Hence [ 1 ]

135. Let original tax be Rs. X

And original consumption be y

The revenue = Rs. Xy

New tax = ( 95 / 100) x = Rs 9.5 x / 10

New consumption = 115 y / 100 = 11.5y / 10

New revenue = 109.25 xy / 100 – xy

= 9.25 xy / 100

% increase = 9.25 xy * 100 / 100 * xy

= 9.25%

Hence [ 3 ]

136. The average weight of 5 people 1 kg

Total wt increased by 5 * 1 = 5 kg.

Weight of new man = 50 + 5 = 55 kg

Hence [1]

137. Here Y runs 40 meters in 14 seconds.

Y runs 1000 m in 1000 * 14 / 80 = 350 Seconds.

x ‘s time over the course

= ( 350 – 14) = 336 Seconds

Hence [ 1 ]

138. Horse @ Rs x Sells 6x – 9y = 90 à * 9

Cow @ Rs y buys – 9x + 15y = -91 à * 6

54x – 81y = 810

-54x + 90y = 546

11y = 1356

Y = 123.27

Hence [ 1 ]

139. 2 ( x – 8 ) = y + 8

X + 30 = 10 ( y – 30 )

2x – 16 = y + 8

2x – y = 24 à (1)

x + 30 = 10y – 300

x – 10y = – 330 à (2)

2x – y = 24

2x – 20y = -660

19y = 684 \ y = 36

2x – 36 = 24

2x = 60

x = 30

Hence[1]
