DIRECTIONS for the question: Read the following information and choose the best alternative:
Question No. : 1
Seven film buffs - Gangadhar, Indra, Lalatakshaya, Maheshwar, Rudra, Vyomkesha, and Yogi - attend a showing of classic films.
Three films are shown: one each directed by Guru Dutt, Satyajit Ray, and Ritwik Ghatak. Each of the film buffs sees exactly one of
the three films. The films are shown only once, one film at a time. The following restrictions apply:
Exactly twice as many of the film buffs see the Satyajit Ray film as see the Guru Dutt film.
Gangadhar and Rudra do not see the same film as each other.
Indra and Maheshwar do not see the same film as each other.
Vyomkesha and Yogi see the same film as each other.
Lalatakshaya sees the Satyajit Ray film.
Gangadhar sees either the Guru Dutt film or the Ritwik Ghatak film
Which one of the following could be an accurate matching of film buffs to films?
A)Gangadhar: the Satvajit Rav film; Indra: the Ritwik Ghatak film; Maheshwar: the Satyajit Ray film
B)Gangadhar: the Ritwik Ghatak film; Indra: the Guru Dutt film; Vyomkesha: the Guru Dutt film
C)Indra: the Satyajit Ray film; Rudra: the Ritwik Ghatak film; Vyomkesha: the Guru Dutt film
D)Maheshwar: the Ritwik Ghatak film: Rudra: the Ritwik Ghatak film; Vyomkesha: the Ritwik Ghatak film
E)Maheshwar: the Satyajit Ray film; Rudra: the Satyajit Ray film: Yogi: the Satyajit Ray film
Explanation:-
We can eliminate the options: Since Gangadhar sees either the Guru Dutt film or the Ritwik Ghatak film, option A is eliminated.
If Vyomkesha and Indra see Guru Dutt film, this means 6 persons see Satyajit Ray film, hence option B is eliminated.
Similarly, we get 3 persons (Gangadhar, Vyomkesha, Yogi) in Guru Dutt film in option C and hence we can't have twice (six)
persons for the Satyajit Ray film, thus it can be ruled out.
In E, we get 5 persons (Lalatakshaya, Maheshwar, Rudra, Vyomkesha, Yogi) seeing Satyajit Ray film, which is also wrong (odd
number cannot be twice of an integer).
Thus, Only option D is correct.
Question No. : 2
Each of the following must be false EXCEPT:
A)Rudra is the only film buff to see the Guru Dutt film B)Rudra is the only film buff to see the Satyajit Ray film
C)Yogi is the only film buff to see the Ritwik Ghatak film D)Exactly two film buffs see the Ritwik Ghatak film
E)Exactly three film buffs see the Satyajit Ray film
Explanation:-
Option (A) might be true
Suppose one person sees the Guru Dutt film. Then, there would be minimum two persons to see the Satyajit Ray film.
Therefore, option (B) is incorrect.
Vyomkesha and Yogi see the same film. Therefore, option (C) is incorrect.
If exactly two film buffs see the Ritwik Ghatak film, then there would be five film buffs to see the Guru Dutt or Satyajit Ray films.
It is given that exactly twice as many of the film buffs see the Satyajit Ray film as they see the Guru Dutt film. Therefore, option (D)
is incorrect. Similarly, option (E) could not be correct as it is an odd number.
Hence, option (A) is correct.
Question No. : 3
Which one of the following is a complete and accurate list of the film buffs who DO NOT see the Satyajit Ray film?
A)Gangadhar, Maheshwar B)Gangadhar, Rudra C)Gangadhar, Indra, Rudra D)Gangadhar, Maheshwar, Yogi
E)Gangadhar
Explanation:-
Gangadhar sees either the Guru Dutt film or the Ritwik Ghatak film.
We can have the following three cases possible:

Case I Case II Case III
No. of Names of No. of Names of No. of Names of
Director
film buffs persons film buffs persons film buffs persons
Guru Dutt 1 G 2 G+I 2 R+I/M
Satyajit Ray 2 L+I 4 L+V+Y+R 4 L+V+Y+M/I
Ritwik Ghatak 4 V+Y+R+M 1 M 1 G
From the above table, it can be inferred that a film directed by Satyajit Ray can be seen by all the film buffs except Gangadhar.
Thus, the correct answer is option E.
Question No. : 4
If exactly one film buff sees the Ritwik Ghatak film, then which one of the following must be true?
A)Vyomkesha sees the Satyajit Ray film B)Gangadhar sees the Guru Dutt film C)Maheshwar sees the Guru Dutt film
D)Indra sees the Guru Dutt film E)Rudra sees the Satyajit Ray film
Explanation:-
If one film buff sees the Ritwik Ghatak film, then two film buffs would see Guru Dutt film and four film buffs would see Satyajit Ray
film.
We can have the following two different cases possible:
Case I Case II
No. of Names of No. of Names of
Director
film buffs persons film buffs persons
Guru Dutt 2 G+I 2 R+M
Satyajit Ray 4 L+V+Y+R 4 L+V+Y+I
Ritwik Ghatak 1 M 1 G
Thus, we can observe that Vyomkesha must see the Satyajit Ray film.
Question No. : 5
If Vyomkesha and Gangadhar see the same film, then which one of the following could be true?
A)Gangadhar sees the Guru Dutt film B)Indra sees the Satyajit Ray film C)Rudra sees the Ritwik Ghatak film
D)Vyomkesha sees the Satyajit Ray film E)Yogi sees the Guru Dutt film
Explanation:-
If Vyomkesha and Gangadhar see the same film, then Yogi would also be there. Thus,
Vyomkesha, Yogi, Gangadhar Ritwik Ghatak film
Three persons cannot see Guru Dutt film. Therefore option (A) is incorrect.
If Gangadhar sees the Ritwik Ghatak film, then Rudra could not see the Ritwik Ghatak film. Therefore, option (C) is incorrect.
Vyomkesha cannot see the Satyajit Ray film because Gangadhar sees wither Guru Dutt film or Ritwik Ghatak film. Therefore,
option (D) is incorrect. For similar reason, option (E) is also not correct.
Thus, option B, 'Indra could see the Satyajit Ray film' is correct.
Question No. : 6
Each of the following could be a complete and accurate list of the film buffs who see the Guru Dutt film EXCEPT:
A)Gangadhar, Indra B)Gangadhar, Maheshwar C)Indra, Rudra D)Maheshwar, Rudra E)Vyomkesha, Yogi
Explanation:-
Vyomkesha and Yogi could not see the Guru Dutt film because in that case Gangadhar would see the Ritwik Ghatak film.
Further, all the remaining 4 would be required to see the Satyajit Ray film (Twice of Guru Dutt Film watchers) which is not possible
because it is given that Indra and Maheshwar do not see the same film. Hence option E is correct.
Question No. : 7
A company launches eight products - Q, R, S, T, V, W, Y, and Z - in one of the four metros of India. The products were launched one
after the other over a period of six months in 2006. The order in which the products were launched is consistent with the following
conditions:
V is launched before both Y and Q Q gets launched after Z T gets launched before V but after R
S gets launched after V R gets launched before W
Which one of the following could be true?
A)Y is the second product to be launched B)R is the third product to be launched C)Q is the fourth product to be launched
D)S is the fifth product to be launched E)V is the sixth product to be launched
Explanation:-
V > Y, Q .. (i)
Z>Q ...(ii)
R>T>V ...(iii)
V>S ...(iv)
R>W ....(v)
From equations (i) and (iii), R > T > V > Y, Q
In no case Y would be the second product to be launched option A is not possible.

In no case R would be the third product to be launched option B is not possible.
Q could be fifth but in no case it would be fourth option C is eliminated.
Suppose Z was launched before R.
V could be fifth product (if W > V) but it cannot be the sixth product to be launched. Option E is eliminated.
Now out of the choices given only S could be the fifth product to be launched. Thus D option is correct.
Question No. : 8
conditions:
Is Z is the seventh product to be launched, then which one of the following could be true?
A)W is the fifth product to be launched B)T is the fourth product to be launched
C)R is the second product to be launched D)V is the sixth product to be launched E)Y is the eighth product to be launched
Explanation:-
V > Y, Q .. (i)
Z>Q ...(ii)
R>T>V ...(iii)
V>S ...(iv)
R>W ....(v)
From equations (i) and (iii),
R > T > V > Y, Q
Take Z as the 7th product launched and arrange the other products based on the information given. Of all the different
arrangements, W could be launched at 4th place. The best answer is option A.
Question No. : 9
conditions:
If Q is the fifth product to be launched, then each of the following could be true EXCEPT:
A)Z is the first product to be launched B)T is the second product to be launched C)V is the third product to be launched
D)W is the fourth product to be launched E)Y is the sixth product to be launched
Explanation:-
V > Y, Q .. (i)
Z>Q ...(ii)
R>T>V ...(iii)
V>S ...(iv)
R>W ....(v)
From equations (i) and (iii),
R > T > V > Y, Q
Take Q as the 5th product launched and arrange the other products based on the information given. Thus, R, T, V and Z must be
launched before Q (and these 4 products occupy the first 4 positions).
Thus, W cannot be launched at 4th place. The best answer is option D.
Question No. : 10
conditions:
If R is the second product to be launched, which one of the following MUST be true?
A)S gets launched some time before T B)T gets launched some time before W C)W gets launched some time before V
D)Y gets launched some time before Q E)Z gets launched some time before W
Explanation:-
V > Y, Q .. (i)
Z>Q ...(ii)
R>T>V ...(iii)
V>S ...(iv)
R>W ....(v)
From equations (i) and (iii), R > T > V > Y, Q
S cannot be launched before V and hence not before T.

W could be launched before T.
W could be launched after V.
Y could be launched after Q.
Z was certainly launched before W. Hence, option E must be true.

The year 2004 was a great year for Top-Cloth cotton mill. Manufacturing towels for the export market employing more than 2000
workers, the company had an impressive growth in sales and profits. The Chairman felt that employees were entitled to a share in
the profits and it was proposed that the employee mess be air-conditioned. The proposal was discussed in a meeting that was
attended by, among other senior officials, the marketing director, the personnel director and the finance director. The proposal
was based on the fact that the shop floor of the mill often had temperatures in excess of 40C with a relative humidity of 99%. The
air-conditioned mess would represent management's appreciation of the employee's hard work.
At the end of 2005, management reviewed the mill's performance. Profits were higher, and employee attrition was negligible.
Chairman decided that employees deserved additional recognition for their fine work. Since the mess had already been air-
conditioned, the chairman wanted to know if the employees appreciated this sort of action. In the course of discussion, the
chairman asked the personnel director to send a questionnaire to a sample of fifty employees and obtain their reaction to the air-
conditioned mess. The management agreed to decide only after obtaining the feedback from the employees.
The personnel director mailed a simple form to fifty employees asked them for the following information: "Please state your
reaction to the air-conditioned mess."
Of the fifty forms mailed, forty-six were returned. The answers received were as follows:

Question No. : 19
The Society for Education in India (in short SEI) had been engaged in running primary schools in different parts of the country
since 1950s. While attending a conference on employee selection, Mr. J Mehta, a senior member of the society learned that a
leading school had recently employed a psychologist to perform employment functions, i.e. recruitment and selection of teachers.
Within two months of his return, Mr. J Mehta contacted a reputed university and employed a graduating psychologist, Mr. Bibek
Gupta.
Mr. Bibek Gupta was employed by SEI with the single directive that he was to contribute to the selection of teachers. This task had
previously been the prerogative of principals of each school. Mr. Gupta immediately notified each principal that in the future he
was to be notified of the personnel needs and in return he would recruit, screen and select the teachers.
At the end of his first year with SEI, Mr. Gupta realized that his efforts had resulted in failure. During his first few months he
encountered much opposition from several principals who had been managing schools for ten or more years. They did not believe
in newer psychological techniques and preferred selecting people based on their own assessment. Other principals frequently
refused to accept the teachers selected by Mr. Gupta. Finally, Mr. Gupta began to notice fewer and fewer principals notifying him
of vacancies in their schools. Realizing that he was not making any effective contribution, Mr. Gupta submitted the suggestion to
the society members that support and co-operation of the school principals should be a matter of executive order, or else his
resignation should be considered.
What was the flaw in the decision of selecting a psychologist for selecting teachers that led to the final situation?
A: Mr. Mehta's decision was predominantly driven by the information about another school that had enlisted the services of a
psychologist for recruitment and selection.
R: Both the administration of the school and managing teachers have been primary responsibilities of the principal of the school.
A)if both A and R are based on information given in the passage and R is the correct explanation of A
B)if both A and R are based on information given in the passage but R is not the correct explanation of A
C)if A is based on information given in the passage but R is not based on the facts given
D)if A is not based on information given in the passage but R is based on the information given in the passage
E)if both A and R are not based on information given in the passage
Explanation:-
Both A and R are mentioned in the passage, but R is not the correct reason for A.
Question No. : 20
Gupta.
What responsibilities were shouldered by Mr. Bibek in his first year of employment?
A: Mr. Bibek had the responsibility of contributing his expertise to recruitment and selection of teachers.
R: The board members wanted to systematize the recruitment and selection of the entire organization.
Explanation:-
A is mentioned in the passage while R is not.
Question No. : 21
Gupta.
How were the changes in the recruitment and selection process received by the principals?
A: The principals rejected the new process in its entirety from the day it was introduced.
R: The principals were cynical of the abilities of the psychologist as far as recruitment and selection of teachers were concerned.
Explanation:-
A and R are mentioned in the passage and it can be inferred that R is the correct reason for A.
Question No. : 22
Gupta.

"At the end of his first year with SEI, Mr. Gupta realized that his efforts had resulted in failure." Was Mr. Bibek's self-assessment
justified?
A: Yes, since the selection of teachers continued to be done as it was being done earlier.
R: He was placed in a situation where the concerned persons refused to consult him regarding his expertise. Hence his impact was
dependent on co-operation by others.
Explanation:-
A and R are mentioned in the passage but R is not the correct reason for A.
Question No. : 23
Sayan, a recent MBA graduate with specialization in sales and marketing, applied for the position of sales manager in a firm
producing industrial fabrication tools. The management of the company took pride in its non-discriminatory recruitment policy. In
offering Sayan the position, the management made it clear that that an indispensable feature of the job involved entertaining
purchasing agents and that a certain amount of social drinking was necessary. Sayan assured them that he was a moderate
drinker with no moral or religious prejudices against drinking.
During the following two years Sayan became a successful manager and on two occasions received awards for achieving the
highest sales for the quarter. However, he found that he was encountering a problem resulting from the necessity of entertaining
customers at least two or three times a week. The problem was that he felt that he was becoming an alcoholic, since he had
recently been overindulging even when not entertaining customers. The problem became progressively worse until he found
himself in a constantly inebriated condition and unable to work without resorting to drinking at work.
On reporting about his problem to the management, Sayan was sent at company expense to an alcoholic rehabilitation centre,
from which he was discharged after six weeks of rest and recuperation. However, within two months of resuming duties, Sayan
was arrested in a local pub and charged with drunkenness and assault. The victim of his assault was a customer whom he had
taken to the pub to discuss a sale.
The management viewed the incident extremely negatively and fired Sayan. Shortly thereafter, a lawyer representing Sayan
informed the management that Sayan intended to bring legal action against the company. Sayan felt the company was liable since
his ale alcoholism was a result of his employment. He commended that drinking was a requirement of his job, and therefore
alcoholism represented an occupational hazard. The management decided to form a committee to discuss the matter and
recommend a course of action. The course of action should be such so as to prevent a recurrence of such a situation.
As the management decides this situation, it also has to appoint a replacement for Sayan. The management is exploring following
options so that such a fiasco is not repeated:
A. Do not go to business schools. Hire an experienced sales manager from the market, and attract him or her by offering a higher
remuneration package.
B. State the requirements of job, including the necessity of social drinking, explicitly in the employment offer letter. A signed copy
of the employment offer letter would indicate that the employee has accepted the terms of the employment with complete
knowledge of job-details.
C. Social drinking does not imply that a person has to drink excessively. Therefore select only mature persons, those who are high
in self-esteem, who do not give in to social pressures and who know how to exert self-control.
D. Provide guidance to all sales managers - both experienced as well as newly appointed - on how to behave during social
occasions. This will be helpful to those who are otherwise moderate drinkers, but end up drinking beyond their capacity because
of suggestions by peers and friends.
E. Test for the validity of claims of being moderate drinkers during the selection process itself. This will screen out persons who
only claim to be moderate drinkers but to obtain the job.
From the management's point of view, the options in the descending order of ease of implementation would be
A)A + B, C, D + E B)C + D, B + E, A + E C)C + E, B + D, B + E D)B + E, B + D, A + C E)A + B, B + D, E+C
Explanation:-
From the organisations point of view, option C would be the most difficult to implement. Option E would be slightly easier than C.
So, in the ranking of options, E & C would be last. Cand E are the most difficult to implement. Answer choices 1, 2 & 3 can be
eliminated as C is not last. Similarly, answer choice 4 can be eliminated as E is not last. Therefore, the best answer is 5.
DIRECTIONS for the question: Solve the following question and mark the best possible option.
Question No. : 24
Consider the expression: (xxx)b = x3, where b is the base, and x is any digit of base b. Find the value of b:
A)5 B)6 C)7 D)8 E)None of these
Explanation:-
The expression (xxx)b = x3, when expanded for base b we get xb2 + xb + x = x3.
Taking x common we get b2 + b + 1 = x2. Now putting values for b none of the options satisfy to be a perfect square(x2). By hit
and trial value of b comes to be 18.
Question No. : 25
A medical practitioner has created different potencies of a commonly used medicine by dissolving
tablets in water and using the resultant solution.
Potency 1 solution: When I tablet is dissolved in 50 ml, the entire 50 ml is equivalent to one dose.
Potency 2 solution: When 2 tablets are dissolved in 50 ml, the entire 50 ml of this solution is equivalent to 2 doses,
...and so on
This way he can give fractions of tablets based on the intensity of infection and the age of the patient.
For a particular patient, he administers 10 ml of potency 1, 15 ml of potency 2 and 30 ml of potency 4. The dosage administered to
the patient is equivalent to
A)> 2 and < 3 tablets B)> 3 and < 3.25 tablets C)> 3.25 and < 3.5 tablets D)> 3.5 and < 3.75 tablets
E)> 3.75 and < 4 tablets
Explanation:-
Thus, the dosage administered to the patient is equivalent to 3.2 tablets.
Question No. : 26
A computer program was tested 300 times before its release. The testing was done in three stages of 100 tests each. The software
failed 15 times in Stage I, 12 times in Stage II, 8 times in Stage III, 6 times in both Stage I and Stage II, 7 times in both Stage II and
Stage III, 4 times in both Stage I and Stage III, and 4 times in all the three stages. How many times the software failed in a single
stage only?
A)10 B)13 C)15 D)17 E)35
Explanation:-
A venn diagram according to the given information can be drawn as follows:
So the number of failures of software (in single stage only) = 9 + 3 + 1 =13.

Hence option B is correct.
DIRECTIONS for the question: Analyse the graph/s given below and answer the question that follows.
Question No. : 27
The graph shows the revenue (in $ million) of three companies in their initial six years of operations, in an economy which is
characterised by a persistent inflation.
In 2010, which could be a valid statement about the revenues (adjusted for inflation) of these three companies?
A)Revenues of all three companies were equal B)Revenues of all three companies could be equal
C)Revenue of Yahoo was definitely less than Facebook which was definitely less than Google
D)Total of Yahoo and Facebook was definitely higher than than of Google E)None of the above
Explanation:-
Since the years are not defined, therefore, the information for the year 2010 cannot be determined.
Hence, option E is correct.
Question No. : 28
The difference in the average percentage increase in revenues, from 4th to 6th year, of Yahoo and Facebook is:
A)35% B)40% C)45% D)50% E)55%
Explanation:-
The revenues for yahoo in the 4th and 6th years are 250 & 1200 while the values for facebook are 350 & 2000 respectively.
So, the required difference = 235 - 190 = 45%.
Question No. : 29
What would have been Facebook's revenue (in $ million) in its sixth year of operation if the company had matched Google's
percentage growth in revenues from the fifth to the sixth year?

Three Vice Presidents (VP) regularly visit the plant on different days. Due to labour unrest, VP (HR) regularly visits the plant after a
gap of 2 days. VP (Operations) regularly visits the plant after a gap of 3 days. VP (Sales) regularly visits the plant after a gap of 5
days. The VPs do not deviate from their individual schedules. CEO of the company meets the VPs when all the three VPs come to
the plant together. CEO is on leave from January 5th to January 28th, 2012. Last time CEO met the VPs on January 3, 2012. When
is the next time CEO will meet all the VPs?
A)February 6,2012 B)February 7, 2012 C)February 8, 2012 D)February 9, 2012 E)None of the above
Explanation:-
VP (HR) visits every 3rd day, VP (Operations) visits every 4th day and VP (Sales) visits every 6th day. They will meet together after
LCM of 3, 4, and 6 = 12 days. So after January 3, they should meet on January 15 and January 27. But CEO is on leave till Jan 28.
So they will meet after 12 more days i.e. February 8, 2012. Hence option C.

vi) Jose has fathered a twin.
vii) Jose is not the father of a triplet.
viii) The LCM of the ages of Joses sons is more than the sum of their ages.
Which of the following combination gives information sufficient to determine the ages of Jose's sons?
A)i), ii), iii) and iv) B)i), ii), iv) and vi) C)i), ii), iii) and v) D)i), ii), v) and vii) E)i), ii), v) and vi)
Explanation:-
(i) Let ages of three sons be a, b and c.
(ii) a + b+ c = 13
(v) a + b = 4
(vi) Jose has fathered a twin so two ages are same.
Using above we can find c = 9 and a = b = 2 years. So ages are 2, 2, 9 years.
Thus, informations i), ii), v) and vi) are sufficient to determine the ages of Jose's sons.

Carpenter Rajesh has a circular piece of plywood of diameter 30 feet. He has cut out two disks of diameter 20 feet and 10 feet.
What is the diameter of the largest disk that can be cut out from the remaining portion of the plywood piece?
A)> 8.00 feet and < 8.20 feet B)> 8.21 feet and < 8.40 feet C)> 8.41 feet and < 8.60 feet
D)> 8.61 feet and < 8.80 feet E)> 8.81 feet and < 9.00 feet
Explanation:-
Let us assume the largest possible circle that can be cut from the remaining portion has radius r feet.
And O, A, B and C be the centers of the circles with radius 15 feet, 10 feet, 5 feet and r feet respectively. Also, circle with centre A
and B touch each other at D.
Now, AO = OD = BD = 5 cm
AC = 10+r; BC = 5+r; OC = 15 r; and Let DC = x
Applying Apollonius Theorem in ADC,
AC2 + CD2 = 2 (OC2 + AO2)
(10+r)2 + x2 = 2 [(15-r)2 + 52]
Similarly, applying Apollonius Theorem in OCB,
(15-r)2 + (5+r)2 = 2 (x2 + 52)
Solving both the equations, we get r = 30/7
Hence, diameter = 2.r = 60/7 = 8.57
Thus, correct answer is Option C.

water from a well to their house. Their buckets' capacities were proportional to their ages. While returning, equal amount of water
got splashed out of their buckets. Who lost maximum amount of water as a percentage of the bucket capacity?
A)Tina B)Mina C)Gina D)Lina E)Bina
Explanation:-
Since water lost by each sister is same. So the %age lost will be maximum for the sister who has minimum capacity. So answer is
Bina.
Question No. : 36
Ram, a farmer, managed to grow shaped-watermelons inside glass cases of different shapes. The shapes he used were: a perfect
cube, hemi-spherical, cuboid, cylindrical along with the normal spherical shaped watermelons. Thickness of the skin was same for
all the shapes. Each of the glass cases was so designed that the total volume and the weight of the all the water-melons would be
equal irrespective of the shape.
A customer wants to buy water-melon for making juice, for which the skin of the water-melon has to be peeled off, and therefore
is a waste. Which shape should the customer buy?

A)Cube B)Hemi-sphere C)Cuboid D)Cylinder E)Normal spherical
Explanation:-
The customers perspective would be to minimise the waste => to minimise the skin of watermelon.
As the skin-thickness of all the shapes is same, we need to select the one with minimum surface area.
Thus, because of the symmetry of shape and closed structure, it is nothing but thenormal sphere, which has minimum surface
area.
Hence, option E is correct.
Question No. : 37
A man borrows Rs. 6000 at 5% interest, on reducing balance, at the start of the year. If he repays Rs. 1200 at the end of each year,
find the amount of loan outstanding (in Rs.) at the beginning of the third year.
A)3162.75 B)4125.00 C)4155.00 D)5100.00 E)5355.00
Explanation:-
At the end of first year the interest is Rs 300. So total payable amount is Rs 6300 out of which he has paid Rs 1200. So balance
amount is Rs 5100. In the second years the interest is Rs 255. So payable amount is Rs 5355. He has again paid Rs 1200. So the
remaining amount is Rs 4155.
Hence, option C is correct.
Question No. : 38
A spherical metal of radius 10 cm is molten and made into 1000 smaller spheres of equal sizes. In this process the surface area of
the metal is increased by:
A)1000 times B)100 times C)10 times D)No change E)None of these
Explanation:-
As the total volume remains the same so radius of smaller sphere will be 1cm. As surface area is proportional the square of radius.
So total surface area of 1000 smaller spheres will become 1000 12 = 1000 and surface area of one big sphere will become
102=100. Hence total surface area is increased by 900% i.e. 9 times.
Question No. : 39
A potter asked his two sons to sell some pots in the market. The amount received for each pot was same as the number of pots
sold. The two brothers spent the entire amount on some packets of potato chips and one packet of banana chips. One brother had
the packet of banana chips along with some packets of potato chips, while the other brother just had potato chips. Each packet of
potato chips costs Rs. 10/- and the packet of banana chips costs less than Rs. 10/-. The packets of chips were divided between the
two brothers so each brother received equal number of packets. How much money should one brother give to the other to make
the division financially equitable?
A)1 B)2 C)4 D)5 E)7
Explanation:-
Only one case is possible. They collected total money Rs.36. In this case they will buy 3 packets of potato chips and one packet of
banana chip. So one will get two potato chips packet worth Rs.20 and other will get one packet of banana chips and one packet
of potato chips i.e. total worth Rs.16. So one should give Rs. 2 to the other to make the division financially equitable. Hence second
option is the answer.

Her car's tank-capacity is 35 litres. Petrol costs Rs. 45/ litre in Rampur. What is the minimum amount of money she would need
for purchasing petrol for the return trip from Rampur to Shanpur, using the same route? Assume that the mileage of the car
remains unchanged throughout the route, and she did not use her car to travel around in Rampur.
A)1714 B)1724 C)1734 D)1744 E)Data insufficient
Explanation:-
Since petrol in Rampur is Rs 45/ liter, she will buy it from Rampur just to reach 650 km mark i.e. 150km/8kmpl = 18.75 liter.
But she already has 5 liter so she will buy only 13.75 liter. So cost is 13.75 45 = 618.75.
Next she will buy 50km/8kmpl = 6.25 liter to reach 600 km mark @ Rs 40/ litre. So cost here will be 40 6.25 = Rs 250.
Further, she will buy 200km/8kmpl = 25 litre petrol @ Rs 35/ litre which will cost 35 25 = Rs 875.
So the total cost = 618.75 + 250 + 875 = Rs 1743.75. Hence option D.

A city has a park shaped as a right angled triangle. The length of the longest side of this park is 80m. The Mayor of the city wants
to construct three paths from the corner point opposite to the longest side such that these three paths divide the longest side into
four equal segments. Determine the sum of the squares of the lengths of the three paths.
A)4000 m B)4800 m C)5600 m D)6400 m E)7200 m
Explanation:-
Here the paths are AD, AE and AF. Since E is the midpoint of hypotenuse, it is equidistant from all the vertices.So AE = 40.
(Angle in a semicircle is a right angle => E is the center of the circle passing through A, B and C).
Now AE divides DF in two equal parts so it is the median to DF.
Since DE: EF =1: 1 => AD: AF = 1: 1 and AE is perpendicular to DF.
Now AD2 = 402 + 202 = 2000 = AF2. Also AE2 = 1600.
So the sum of squares of paths = 2000 + 2000 + 1600 = 5600m

City Bus Corporation runs two buses from terminus A and terminus B, each bus making 5 round trips in a day. There are no stops
in between. These buses ply back and forth on the same route at different but uniform speeds. Each morning the buses start at 7
AM from the respective terminuses. They meet for the first time at a distance of 7 km from terminus A. Their next meeting is at a
distance of 4 km from terminus B, while travelling in opposite directions. Assuming that the time taken by the buses at the
terminuses is negligibly small, and the cost of running a bus is Rs. 20 per km, find the daily cost of running the buses (in Rs.).
Explanation:-
Let the distance between A and B be x. Let the speeds of the buses starting at A and B be a and b respectively.
First meeting is at 7 km from A.
By that time first bus travels 7 Km and second one travels (x-7) Km. As they have travelled for the same time,
7/a = (x-7)/b ---(1)
Second meeting is at 4 km from B.
By that time first bus travels x+4 Km and second one travels x+(x-4) = 2x-4 Km. As they have travelled for the same time,
(x+4)/a = (2x-4)/b ---(2)
(1)/(2) gives,
7/(x+4) = (x-7)/(2x-4) => x2 - 17x = 0 => x =17
=> one round trip is equal to 2*17 = 34 Km
Each bus makes 5 round trips in a day => Each bus makes 5*34 Km per day
=> Total distance travelled by the two buses in a day = 2*5*34 Km
the cost of running the bus is Rs 20 per Km
=> Total cost = 2*5*34*20 =Rs 6800

Three truck drivers, Amar, Akbar and Anthony stop at a road side eating joint. Amar orders 10 rotis, 4 plates of tadka, and a cup of
tea. Akbar orders 7 rotis, 3 plates of tadka, and a cup of tea. Amar pays Rs. 80 for the meal and Akbar pays Rs. 60. Meanwhile,
Anthony orders 5 rotis, 5 plates of tadka and 5 cups of tea. How much (in Rs.) will Anthony pay?
Explanation:-
10 roti + 4 tadka + 1 tea = 80(1)
7 roti + 3 tadka + 1 tea = 60(2)
Multiplying 1st equation by 2 and 2nd equation by 3 and subtracting equation 1 from 2, we get
1 roti + 1 tadka + 1 tea = 20 Rs.
So 5 roti +5 tadka +5 tea = 100 Rs.
Question No. : 48
A property dealer bought a rectangular piece of land at Rs. 1000/sq ft. The length of the plot is less than twice its breadth. Due to
its size, there were no buyers for the full plot. Hence he decided to sell it in smaller sized pieces as given below:
The largest square from one end was sold at Rs. 1200/sqft. From the remaining rectangle the largest square was sold at Rs.
1150/sqft.
Due to crash in the property prices, the dealer found it difficult to make profit from the sale of the remaining part of the land. If the
ratio of the perimeter of the remaining land to the perimeter of the original land is 3:8, at what price (in Rs.) the remaining part of
the land is to be sold such that the dealer makes an overall profit of 10% ?
A)500/sqft B)550/sqft C)600/sqft D)650/sqft E)None of these
Explanation:-
This question can be done by reverse approach. As perimeter of remaining land (i.e. land left after selling two square plots) to
original is 3:8. So we took the dimensions of smallest plot as 2 and 1 i.e. AD as 2 and AB as 1. As remaining plots are square. So
remaining dimensions become as shown in figure. Also the Ratio of perimeter of Remaining plot to original plot becomes 6:16 i.e.
3:8. So Now we can solve the SP per sq ft. of remaining plot. Total Area of plot = 3 5 = 15 sq. feet
So cost @1000 per sq. feet = 15 1000 = Rs. 15000
Since Profit = 10%
So total SP of entire plot = 15000 1.1 = Rs. 16500
16500 = 9 1200 + 4 1150 + 2.y
Where y is SP/sq. ft of remaining plot.

On solving we get y = Rs. 550. Hence, option B is correct.

The pie chart shows the percentage distribution of runs scored by a batsman in a test innings.
If 5 of the dot balls had been hit for 4s, and if two of the shots for which the batsman scored 3 runs each had fetched him one run
instead, what would have been the central angle of the sector corresponding to the percentage of runs scored in 4s? (Assume the
runs scored by the batsman in test inning were 306 originally)
A)160 B)163 C)165 D)167 E)170
Explanation:-
New total score = 306 + 20 4 = 322. Runs scored by 4s = 132 + 20 = 152 which is 47.2% of total score and it is 1700 of the total
circle. Hence, option E.
Question No. : 51
Ram and Shyam form a partnership (with Shyam as working partner) and start a business by investing Rs. 4000 and Rs. 6000
respectively. The conditions of partnership were as follows:
in case of profits till Rs. 200,000 per annum, profits would be shared in the ratio of the invested capital.
Profits from Rs. 200,001 till Rs. 400,000 Shyam would take 20% out of the profit, before the division of remaining profits,
which will then be based on ratio of invested capital.
Profits in excess of Rs. 400,000, Shyam would take 35% out of the profits beyond Rs. 400,000, before the division of
remaining profits, which will then be based on ratio of invested capital.
If Shyam's share in a particular year was Rs. 367000, which option indicates the total business profit (in Rs.) for that year?
A)5,20,000 B)5,30,000 C)5,40,000 D)5,50,000 E)None of these
Explanation:-
Check by option. According to given conditions, option D will give Shyam a profit of 367000.
Profit of shyam till 2 Lacs = 120,000.
From 2 Lacs to 4 Lacs = 40,000 + 96000 = 136,000
From 4 Lacs to 5.5 Lacs = 52,500 + 58,500 = 111,000
Thus, Total profit of Shyam = 367000. Hence option D is correct.

In Peepal Tree School, the ratio of the number of students in Junior KG to Senior KG is 7 : 5. The ratio of (the number of) Junior KG
Boys to Junior KG girls is 3 : 2. The ratio of number of Senior KG boys to Senior KG girls is 4 : 3. What is the ratio of Junior KG boys
to Senior KG girls?
A)2 : 1 B)12 : 49 C)49 : 25 D)7 : 61 E)None of these

Explanation:-
Let us start by finding a common multiple for(7)(5)(3)(4). It is 420.
Let this be the total number of students.
Now Jr. KG to Sr. KG is 7x + 5x = 420
Hence x = 12
So Jr/Sr = 245/175
JB to JG: 3y +2y = 245
y = 49
So JM/JF = 147/98
SB to SG: 4z + 3z = 175
z = 25
So SB/SG = 100/75
Hence, JB/SG 147/75 = 49/25
Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Question No. : 58
There is an essential and irreducible 'duality' in the normative conceptualisation of an individual person. We can see the person in
terms of his or her 'agency', recognizing and respecting his or her ability to form goals, commitments, values, etc., and we can also
see the person in terms of his or her 'well-being'. This dichotomy is lost in a model of exclusively self-interested motivation, in
which a person's agency must be entirely geared to his or her own well-being. But once that straitjacket of self-interested
motivation is removed, it becomes possible to recognize the indisputable fact that the person's agency can well be geared to
considerations not covered - or at least not fully covered - by his or her own well-being. Agency may be seen as important (not
just instrumentally for the pursuit of well-being, but also intrinsically), but that still leaves open the question as to how that agency
is to be evaluated and appraised. Even though the use of one's agency is a matter for oneself to judge, the need for careful
assessment of aims, objective, allegiances, etc., and the conception of the good, may be important and exacting.
To recognize the distinction between the 'agency aspect' and the 'well-being aspect' of a person does not require us to take the
view that the person's success as an agent must be independent, or completely separable from, his or her success in terms of well-
being. A person may well feel happier and better off as a result of achieving what he or she wanted to achieve - perhaps for his or
her family, or community, or class, or party, or some other cause. Also it is quite possible that a person's well-being will go down
as a result of frustration if there is some failure to achieve what he or she wanted to achieve as an agent, even though those
achievements are not directly concerned with his or her well-being. There is really no sound basis for demanding that the agency
aspect and the well-being aspect of a person should be independent of each other, and it is, I suppose, even possible that every
change in one will affect the other as well. However, the point at issue is not the plausibility of their independence, but the
sustainability and relevance of the distinction. The fact that two variables may be so related that one cannot change without the
other, does not imply that they are the same variable, or that they will have the same values, or that the value of one can be
obtained from the other on basis of some simple transformation.
The importance of an agency achievement does not rest entirely on the enhancement of well-being that it may indirectly cause.
The agency achievement and well-being achievement, both of which have some distinct importance, may be casually linked with
each other, but this fact does not compromise the specific importance of either. In so far as utility-based welfare calculations
concentrate only on the well-being of the person, ignoring the agency aspect, or actually fails to distinguish between the agency
aspect and well-being aspect altogether, something of real importance is lost.
According to the ideas in the passage, the following are not true except:
A)The value of a person's well-being cannot be obtained from the value of her agency
B)A person's agency aspect is independent of her well-being aspect
C)A person's agency is important because her well-being must depend on her agency
D)A person's agency must be entirely geared towards her own well-being
E)A person's well-being will be dependent on her agency in all circumstances
Explanation:-
As per first few lines of 2nd Para, it is clear that persons well being and agency aspect are inter-related, the value of one can be
obtained although it would not be as simple as it may seem to be.

Ethologists, people who study animal behaviour, have traditionally divided an organism's actions into two categories: learned
behaviour (based on experience) and instinctive behaviour (based on genotype). Some current scholars reject this distinction,
claiming that all behaviour is a predictable interaction of experience and genotype.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the arguments made in the sentence above?
A)All organisms with identical genotypes and identical experience sometimes respond differently in different situations
B)All organisms with different genotypes and identical experience always respond identically in identical situations
C)All organisms with similar genotypes and similar experience always respond differently in identical situations
D)All organisms with identical genotypes and identical experience always respond identically in identical situations
E)All organisms with identical genotypes and different experience always respond identically in identical situations
Explanation:-
The para basically speaks about animal behaviour. The para focuses on two terms learned behaviour & instinctive behaviour.
We are assuming that animals with similar experience & similar genetic makeup behave in a similar manner. This particular
assumption is being stated in option (D) which in turn strengthens the argument. Therefore option (D) is the correct answer choice.
Question No. : 66
The benefits of psychotherapy result not only from the advice the therapist gives but also from the supportive relationship offered
to the patient. Even though this relationship may cost large amounts of money over many years, most patients interpret the
therapist's concern for them as genuine and identify this caring relationship as the primary factor in improving their mental
health. However, recent studies have found that only eight percent of therapist/patient relationships continue after the patient
terminates formal paid visits.
Which of the following is in accordance with the ideas contained in the passage?
A)therapists are equally concerned with moneymaking and their patients' well-being
B)reading published articles of reputed psychotherapists will hardly be beneficial
C)therapists can always treat mental illness without the use of prescription drugs
D)therapists who terminate relationships are likely to improve mental health of their patients
E)eight percent of patients will continue to improve after termination of therapy
Explanation:-
The para discusses the benefits of psychotherapy. Although the cost factor is mentioned in the para but the main cause behind a
patients improved mental health condition is the caring relationship which the patient shares with his/her therapist. Option(A) is
the correct answer choice as it briefly mentions the ideas given in the passage.

from China
B)Exports to Bangladesh are insignificant in proportion of China's total exports
C)Exports to Indonesia from China decreased D)Indonesia's chief exports are natural resources

chief as the answer choice will be rejected. Therefore options (A) & (C) will be eliminated. There is no gap between the words
house & fly when referring to the insect, therefore option (D) is incorrect. Option (B) is the correct answer choice as it has the
correct spellings of chef & housefly.
DIRECTIONS for the question: Choose the word from the options which is Opposite in meaning to the given word.

point has further been elaborated in sentence (v).The word they in sentence (iv) refers to economists mentioned in sentence (iii).

Question No. : 74
The idea of demarcating certain areas within the country as special economic zones to promote investment and growth is not new.
A large country unable to provide the kind of facilities and environment that can attract foreign investment throughout the
country often finds it feasible and attractive to carve up some of its areas where such facilities can be provided. The laws and
procedures for setting up new industries are waived to make the area business-friendly with developed infrastructure and a one-
window interaction with government. In addition, huge tax benefits are promised to lure investors. China's experience shows that
if chalked out and implemented with care such a policy can accelerate the flow of capital and technology from abroad and thereby
speed up growth.
However. SEZs may not be the best option in all situations to clear the bottlenecks in growth. India's experience with export
processing zones (EPZs) bears this out. They have failed in India for the simple reason that the factors that made the SEZs
successful in China have been absent here.
In India, as in China, EPZs were thought of as a way of providing an escape route from the stranglehold of control that prevailed
over the Indian economy. But even while promising to ease the rigours of controls, Indian policy-makers could not give up their
penchant for micromanaging from the centre and undoing the promised relaxations with all kinds of qualifications and
"guidelines".
Over last two decades India has evolved into a market economy and much of governmental control has disappeared, but the flow
of foreign direct investment has not reached anywhere near the levels of China. Besides, infrastructure building has fallen far short
of what is required. Even after three years of the enactment of the Electricity Act (2003), private investment in electricity generation
is still a trickle with the states refusing to give up the monopoly of their electricity boards in the matter of purchase of the power
generated. While swearing by growth, governments at both the centre and the states cite the fiscal responsibility laws to plead
their helplessness in making the required investments to improve infrastructure.
Given this situation, the SEZs have apparently been thought of as a simple way out. In its enthusiasm for SEZs the commerce
ministry forgot two critical lessons of the Chinese experience, viz., that an SEZ must be of an adequate size to provide
opportunities for reaping the benefit of large-scale operations and their number should be few. Every industry or economic
activity worth its name is now seeking SEZ status. Proposals are now being floated to invite foreign educational institutions to
come to India with promises of SEZ treatment! The finance ministry apprehends a loss of nearly Rs. 1,75,000 crore in direct taxes,
customs duties and excise duties over the next five years.
The objective of the author in writing the above passage seems to be to
A)highlight the failure of Indian policy makers regarding EPZs B)narrate the pros and cons of SEZs
C)compare between the Indian EPZs and Chinese SEZs D)oppose the proliferation of SEZs in India
E)argue that India should imitate the Chinese policies regarding SEZs

and how India thinks that opening more SEZs is an easy way out.
