SECTION I
Mathematical Aptitude
(48 Questions)
Directions for questions 1 to 48 : For the following questions five options are given. Choose the correct option.
1. The sum of first two consecutive odd numbers in a set of there consecutive odd number is five more than the third number. What
is the second of these three consecutive odd numbers?
(A) 11 (B) 9 (C) 7 (D) 5
(E) None of the above
Sol: Let consecutive odd numbers are x, x + 2, x + 4. Then by the condition given in question :
x + x + 2 = x + 4 + 5 x = 7. So second odd number is 7 + 2 = 9. Ans.(B)
2. I f the sum of digits of a two digit number is 9 less than the number, which of the following digit is at the unit place of that
number?
(A) 4 (B) 3 (C) 2 (D) 1
(E) Data are inadequate
Sol. Let the two digit number is xy. Then by the condition given in question :
x + y = 10x + y 9 9x = 9 x =1 but we cannot find the exact value of y i.e., unit digit of the number. So data is inadequate.
Ans.(E)
3. I f |r 6| = 11 and |2q 12| = 8, what is minimum possible value of r/q?
(A) 0.5 (B) 2.5 (C) 2. 5 (D) 1. 7
(E) None of the above
Sol. |r 6| = 11 i.e., r 6 = 11 or r + 6 = 11. Either r = 17 or r = 5.
|2a 12| = 8 i.e., 2a 12 = 8 or 2a + 12 = 8. Either a = 10 or a = 2.
So, minimum possible value of r/q = 5/10 = 0.5. Ans.(A)
4. I f f (x, y) = | x + y| , G (f (x, y) ) = f (x, y) and A (f (x, y)) = G (f (x, y) ), then find out the value of
G (f (x, x))A (f(x, x)).

5. The number of positive integer valued pairs (x, y) satisfying 4x 17y = 1 and x 1000 is :
(A) 58 (B) 59 (C) 55 (D) 51
(E) None of the above
Sol. Given 4x 17y = 1. Therefore, y
x
=

Directions for questions 122 to 124 : The passage below is followed by questions based upon its contents. Choose the best
answer to each question.
I nstead of casting aside traditional values, the Meiji Restoration of 1868 dismantled feudalism and modernized the country while
preserving certain traditions as the Foundations for a modern J apan. The oldest tradition and basis of the entire J apanese value
system was respect for and even worship of the Emperor. During the early centuries of J apanese history, the Shinto cult in
which the imperial family traced its ancestry to the Sun Goddess became the peoples sustaining faith. Although later subordinated
to imported Buddhism and Confucianism, Shintoism was perpetuated in I se and I zumo until the Meiji modernizers established it
as a quasi-state religion.
Another enduring tradition was the hierarchical system or social relations based on feudalism and re-enforced by Neo-Confucianism
which had been the official ideology of the pre-modern world. Confucianism prescribed a pattern of ethical conduct between
groups of people within a fixed hierarchy. Four of the five Confucian relationships were vertical, requiring loyalty and obedience
from the junior toward the superior. Only the relationship between friend and friend was horizontal, and even there, the
emphasis was on reciprocal duties.
122. The author is primarily concerned with :
(A) providing a history of the rise of feudalism in J apan
(B) identifying the influences of Confucianism on J apanese society
(C) speculating on the probable development of J apanese society
(D) describing some important features of the Meiji restoration

(A) creating a new middle class (B) gunning new adherents of Confucianism
(C) maintaining a stable society (D) expanding the nations territory
(E) None of the above
