DIRECTIONS for questions 38 to 40: Read the information given below and answer the questions.

A train enters into a tunnel AB at A and exits at B. A jackal is sitting at O in another by pass tunnel AOB,
which is connected to AB at A and B, where OA is perpendicular to OB. A cat is sitting at P inside the tunnel
AB making the shortest possible distance between O and P, such that AO: PB = 30:32. A train before entering
into the tunnel AB blows the whistle (or siren) somewhere before A. On hearing the whistle, if the jackal and
the cat run towards A, they would meet with an accident with the train exactly at A, the entrance to the tunnel.
Further if the jackal moves towards B instead of A (on hearing the whistle) it would again meet with an
accident exactly at B, the exit of the tunnel, with the same train coming from the same direction.

DIRECTIONS for questions 55 to 58: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

The next ingredient is a very remarkable one: Good Temper. "Love is not easily provoked". Nothing could be
more striking than to find this here. We are inclined to look upon bad temper as a very harmless weakness.
We speak of it as a mere infirmity of nature, a family failing, a matter of temperament, not a thing to take into
very serious account in estimating a man's character. And yet here, right in the heart of this analysis of love, it
finds a place; and the Bible again and again returns to condemn it as one of the most destructive elements in
human nature. The peculiarity of ill temper is that it is the vice of the virtuous. It is often the one blot on an
otherwise noble character. You know men who are all but perfect, and women who would be entirely perfect,
but for an easily ruffled quick-temper or "touchy" disposition. This compatibility of ill temper with high moral
character is one of the strongest and saddest problems of ethics. The truth is there are two great classes of
sins—sins of the Body, and sins of disposition. The prodigal son may be taken as a type of the first, the Elder
Brother of the second. Now society has no doubt whatever as to which of these is the worse. Its brand falls,
without a challenge, upon the Prodigal. But are we right? We have no balance to weigh one another's sins, and
coarser and finer are but human words; but faults in the higher nature may be less venial than those in the
lower, and to the eye of Him who is love, a sin against love may seem a hundred times more base. No form of
vice, not worldliness, not greed of gold , not drunkenness itself does more to un-christianise society than evil
temper. For embittering life, for breaking up communities, for destroying the most sacred relationships, for
devasting homes, for withering up men and women, for taking the bloom off childhood; in short for sheer
gratuituos misery-producing power, this influence stands alone. Jealousy, anger, pride, uncharity, cruelty, self-
righteousness, touchiness, doggedness, sullenness-in varying properties these are the ingredients of all ill
temper. Judge if such sins of disposition are not worse to live in, and for others to live with than sins of the
body. There is really no place in Heaven for a disposition like this. A man with such a mood could only make
Heaven miserable for all the people in it.

DIRECTIONS for questions 72 to 74: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

My new mistress proved to be all she appeared when I first met her at the door- a woman of the kindest heart
and feelings. She had never had a slave under her control previously and prior to her marriage she had been
dependent upon her own industry for a living. She was by trade a weaver, and by constant application to her
business, she had been in a good degree preserved from the lighting and dehumanizing effects of slavery. I
Bulls Eye SNAP 2013
11
www.hitbullseye.com

was utterly astonished at her goodness. I scarcely knew how to behave towards her. My early instruction was
all out of place. The crouching servility, usually so acceptable a quality in a slave, did not answer when
manifested toward her. Her favor was not gained by it; she seemed to be disturbed by it. She did not deem it to
be impudent or unmannerly for a slave to look in the face. The meanest slave was put fully at ease in her
presence, and none left without feeling better for having seen her. But alas! This kind heart had but a short
time to remain such. The fatal poison of irresponsible power was already in her hands, and soon commenced
its internal work.

Very soon I went to live with Mr. and Mrs. Auld; she very kindly commenced to teach me the A, B, C. After I
had learnt this, she assisted me in learning to spell words of three and four letters. Just at this point of my
progress, Mr. Auld found out what was going on , and at once forbade Mrs. Auld to instruct me further, telling
her that it was unlawful, as well as unsafe, to teach a slave to read. Further he said, "If you give a slave an
inch, he will take a mile. A slave should know nothing but to obey his master - to do as he is told to do.
Learning would spoil the best slave in this world. "Now," said he, "If you teach that boy (speaking of myself)
how to read, there would be no keeping him. It would forever unfit him to be a slave. He would at once
become unmanageable, and of no value to his master. As to him, it could do him no good, but a great deal of
harm. It would make him discontented and unhappy. "These words sank deep into my heart, stirred up
sentiments within that lay slumbering, and called into existence an entirely new train of thought. I now
understood what had been to me a most perplexing difficulty - the white man's power to enslave the black
man. From that moment, I understood that pathway from slavery to freedom. Though conscious of the
difficulty of learning without a teacher, I set out with high hope, and a fixed purpose, at whatever cost of
trouble, to learn how to read. The very decided manner with which my master spoke, and strove to impress his
wife with the evil consequences of giving me instruction, served to convince me that he was deeply sensible
of the truths he was uttering. It gave me the best assurance that I might rely with the utmost confidence on the
results which, he said, would flow from teaching me to read. What he most dreaded, that I most desired. What
he most loved, that I most hated. That which to him was great evil, to be carefully shunned, was to me a great
good, to be diligently sought; and the argument which he so warmly urged, against my learning to read, only
served to inspire me with a desire and determination to learn. In learning to read, I owe almost as much to the
bitter opposition of my master, as to the kindly aid of my mistress. I acknowledge the benefit of both.
Excerpt from Fredrick Douglass.

Que. Ans. Explanations

No.
1. 3 Dinesh can do the work in 15 days and Harish can do it in 12 days. Let Subodh can do the work in ‘x’ days.
Since the work completes in 4 days, we have
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
         => x = 10 days. Hence Subodh can do the work in 10
12 15 x 4 x 4 12 15 x 10
days.
2. 1 Here Males in the village = 1100. Since 3% males are not literate, so the number of males who are literate
= 97% of 1100 = 1067.
Now overall literacy rate of the village = 95% of 2000 = 1900.
So, number of literate females = 1900 – 1067 = 833.
833
Hence required %age =  100  92.55%.
900
3. 3 Since Ravi’s 18 day’s salary = Ajit’s 12 day’s salary
2
=> Ravi’s 1 day salary = Ajit’s day salary. Let Ajit’s 1 day salary = Rs 99, so Ravi’s 1 day salary = Rs
3
66. The total amount = 99 × 12 = Rs 1188.
The total one day salary of Ajit & Ravi = 99 + 66 = Rs 165.
1188
 7.2 days .
Hence the required number of days =
165
4. 1 1 1 30
We have of 30% of 120    120  9. Also 25% of 40 = 10 and 50% of 10 = 5. So the required
4 4 100
number = 10 + 5 = 15. Hence the number to be added in 9 to make it 15 is 6.
5. 2 Total age of 25 teachers 10 years ago = 45 × 25 = 1125 years.
As one teacher was retired 4 years ago, total age of all teachers 4 years ago
= 1125 + 150 – 58 = 1217 years.
After one year, one more teacher was added with age 54 years, so the total age of all teachers 3 years ago =
1217 + 24 + 54 = 1295 years.
Now the present age of all teachers = 1295 + 75 = 1370 years.
1370 4
Hence average age of all teachers =  54 years .
25 5
6. 4 Let the total work is 60 units. X can complete the work 15 days, so he can do 4 units in one day. Similarly
Y can do 3 units in one day. Now in the first 5 days, X will do 5 × 4 = 20 units and in next three days x and
Y will work 7 × 3 = 21 units.
The total work done till now is 20 + 21 = 41 units. The remaining work is 19 units, which will be done by
19
Y alone and he will take  6.3 days .

11. 4 The total distance covered by the truck in three days = 12 × 40 + 10 × 50 + 360

The total time it travelled in three days = 12 + 10 + 8 = 30 hours.

12. 1 Let the second number is x.
We know that L.C.F. × H.C.F = Product of numbers.

13. 3 Let the ages of A and B are 3x and 4x. Acc. to the question we have,

The cost of fencing is Rs 2700 at the rate of Rs 30/m. So the perimeter of the plot is  90 m. Let
30
breadth of plot is x, then length = x + 15.
Perimeter of plot = 90 => 2( x+ 15 +x) = 90 => 2x + 15 = 45 => x = 15. So the length = 15 + 15 = 30 m.
17. 1 Let the total number of students is 100. As 20 % opted for neither History nor Geography, so the total
students who opted at least one of the subjects is 80.
We have n(H) = 70, n(G) = 45, n(HG) = 80
Now n(HG) = n(H) + n(G) - n(HG)
 80 = 70 + 45 - n(HG)
 n(HG) = 35. Hence 35% of the class opted for both the subjects.

Now 19 – x + x + 11 – x = 21
=> x = 9
Or
We have n(C) = 19, n(S) = 11, n(SC) = 21
Now n(SC) = n(S) + n(C) - n(SC)
 21 = 19+11 - n(SC)

22. 3 Let the speed of Arvind is x km/hr and speed of Mohan is y km/hr. When they travel in opposite direction

We have (x+y )× =20  x + y = 40 ..................(1)
2
& when they travel in same direction, we have
(x-y) × 2 = 20
 x-y =10 ...................(2)
Adding 1 & 2 we get 2x = 50
 x = 25 km/hr
 Speed of Arvind is 25 km/hr
23. 3 Here A = { 1,2,3,4,5,6}. Since A has three even & there odd numbers, the subsets of A with one element
even & one add can be formed in 3C1×3C1 = 9 ways.
24. 4 The net SP of Soap after discount = 0.85 × 30 = Rs 25.5.
Since he is giving a sachet of Shampoo fee, net price he his taking from customer = 25.5 – 1.5 = Rs 24.
Now the profit made = 20%
We have 1.2 CP = SP
 1.2×CP = 24
24
 CP =

CP = Rs 20.

27. 3 The total amount paid by Amar, Akbar & Anthony = 26.85 + 42.75 + 53= Rs 122.6

Amar = ×122.6 = Rs 30.65.
12

Akbar = ×122.6 = Rs 40.86.
12

Anthony = × 122.6 = Rs 51.08.

Since Amar paid Rs., 3.8 less than what he should pay, so he will give 42.75 – 40.81 = Rs 1.95. to Akbar &
53 – 51 = Rs 2. to Anthony. Hence 3rd option is answer.

33. 1 Let CP of Anna = Rs 100
So the CP of Boney = Rs 120
CP of Chakori = Rs. 132
Since Chakori sold it to mechanic at a loss of 9.09%
 The CP of Mechanic = Rs 120
Now mechanic spent 10% of purchase price on repairs
 Net CP of mechanic = 120 +10 = Rs 132
Mechanic sold the car to Anna again at a profit of 8.33%
13
 CP of Anna = 132× = Rs. 143

So, Anna lost 143 – 120 = Rs 23, which is 23% of his CP.

 Tap A can fill it at 2 liter/hr rate and Tap B can fill it at 3 liter/hr rate, where as Tap C can empty it at 1
liter/hr rate.
Now amount of water filled in tank in 2 hrs = 2×2 + 3 × 2 – 1 × 2 = 8 liter.
Remaining volume of tank to be filled = 30 – 8 = 22 liter.
22
Now this 22 letter will be filled by A & B working together in = 4.4 hrs

36. 2 Total man hours of typists, composers and binders in a day are 160 hrs, 100 hrs, & 150 hrs. So the total
books which can be typed in a day are 160 × 8 = 1280.
Total books that can be composed in day are 12 × 100 = 1200 and total books that can be bind in a day are
12 × 150 = 1800. Since, the composers can compose a maximum of 1200 books, so this is the number of
books which can be published in day.
37. 2 Let initially x people were employed to do the work in y days and after z days there number was doubled.

If they continue to do the work on their initial pace, the work would have done in y days. So we have

xy = xz + 2x(y – z) => z = y.

1
Now let initially 10 people were employed to do the work in 4 days. Since z = y, so the number was

doubled after one day. In the first day, 10 people did 10 man days work and then their number was
doubled, so the 20 men did 60 man days work in the remaining 3 days. Hence the total work was 70 man
days out of which 10 man days work was done before employing new people. Hence the required % age of

Now PB = 32 km => AP = 18 km,
Now the Cat and Jackal reach at A at same time.
So the ratio of their speed is equal to the ratio of the

Let PN = 6km
 The Jackal is at point N, when the train reaches at A.

46. 4 The correct sentence reads - Halton Brorough Council put up a notice to tell the public about its plans to
move a path from one place to another.
47. 4 inability to write coherently, as a symptom of brain disease or damage.
48. 1 panegyric means a public speech or published text in praise of someone or something.
49. 3 diabolic means relating to or characteristic of the Devil. Hence one would hate them or loathe them. One
can be wary or cagey about something devilish. But these words do not fit with the construction of the

50. 2 To figure out what the missing words are, try to predict their definitions by using keywords from the
Bulls Eye SNAP 2013
www.hitbullseye.com

prompt. In this prompt, each missing word has its own keywords. The first missing word’s keywords are at
the end of the sentence, where the prompt gives the definition of the missing word as a work that involves
“abundant extended metaphors.” The second missing word is contrary to “abundant extended metaphors”
and describes the “plot” of the work. Thus, the first missing word describes a type of work that uses
metaphors, and the second missing word implies the opposite of this figurative language. Therefore, the
best choice is option 2. Allegorical means involving a figurative or metaphorical treatment of a literal
subject, while literal means not figurative or not metaphorical.
Parabolic means pertaining to a parable, a short work that conveys meaning in an indirect manner. Hence
that option is also correct. Replaced parabolic by euphemistic.
51. 1 Attenuate and make thin are similar
52. 4 Rapier - a thin, light sharp-pointed sword used for thrusting. We see it being used by sports people in the

Halloween - the night of 31 October, the eve of All Saints' Day, often celebrated by children dressing up in
frightening masks and costumes. Halloween is thought to be associated with the Celtic festival Samhain,

not give up smoking then there will be no improvement in his health.
67. 1 A report would suggest something happens or something doesn’t happen. Hence option 1 is the best
construction.
68. 4 The passage is about the relationship between education and employment.
In order to understand the nature and causes of rising unemployment, research is being conducted, and this
research have provided some insights. Hence D and then B.
We know that A and C will be together. As there are no derivatives strategies being talked about, C cannot
be linked to any other statement in the paragraph. Thus it works best as the last sentence of the paragraph.
69. 3 The corrections are outlined below:
A – Madhav’s garden.
B – Fruits are..
D – dress’ texture..
70. 2 Esoteric means mystical, mysterious or occult. Exigent means urgent.
71. 3 As the rebels sought to overcome the ….. strength, they would use tactics which are not open or are more
of a surprise. Hence preponderant ( meaning superior in weight, force, influence, numbers, etc.) and
guerilla fit in well with the meaning of the sentence.
A guerilla is a member of an irregular usually politically motivated armed force that combats stronger
regular forces, such as the army or police.
72. 3 The author wants to put forth that the words which he was taught by his mistress helped him to understand
that education was what would lead him to freedom.
73. 4 Refer second para: ‘Mr. Auld found out what was going on , and at once forbade Mrs. Auld to instruct me
further, telling her that it was unlawful, as well as unsafe, to teach a slave to read.’
The author states that Mr. Auld wants his wife to stop teaching him because Mr. Auld feels that if a slave
learns to read then he is of no use to his master. Also that the slave will not be manageable any longer and
also that the slave himself will not be happy. Both A and C are correct.
74. Option 1. The author remembers the good time – when his mistress teaches him to read - and also
acknowledges the fact that though what his master did was incorrect it ultimately led to something positive
– he was stimulated to read and learn. (Sentimental means expressive of or appealing to sentiment,
especially the tender emotions and feelings, as love, pity, or nostalgia. Nostalgic means a wistful desire to
 Bulls Eye

www.hitbullseye.com
return in thought or in fact to a former time in one's life, to one's home or homeland, or to one's family and
friends; a sentimental yearning for the happiness of a former place or time.)
Option 4 : As it is a story which talks of triumph, we cannot say that the tone is resigned - means
submissive or acquiescent. Wistful means expressing or revealing thoughtfulness, usually marked by some
sadness.
Option 3. He is not being moralistic, so self- righteous which means confident of one's own righteousness,
especially when smugly moralistic and intolerant of the opinions and behavior of others, cannot be the
answer.
Petulant means moved to or showing sudden, impatient irritation, especially over some trifling annoyance
Option 2. It is not ironic because he doesn’t think something and it turns out to be something else.
Moreover he is actually happy that the master stopped his learning because that later motivated him to
work on his own. Cutting means wounding the feelings severely; sarcastic. Ironic means using words to
convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning.
75. 1 a clanger is a bad and embarrassing mistake.
76. 3 Venture to is the correct usage. The others can’t fit in the first blank. Peremptory means Offensively self-
assured; dictatorial.
77. 4 The sentence states that her argument is in short this. – crux fits is best – crux means the gist.
78. 4 The only word that fits the second blank is daub. Maudlin means self pitying which fits the first blank too.
79. 4
80. 2 Option 3 is incorrect because also and inevitably cannot be used together. After the comma, we cannot

DIRECTIONS for questions 24 to 26: Read the given passage and answer the questions.

Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted, nor to find talk and discourse,
but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be
chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be rend only in parts; others to be read, but not
curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. Some books may also be
read by deputy, and extracts made of them by others; but that would be only in the less important
arguments and the meaner sort of books; else distilled books are like common distilled waters, flashy
things. Reading makes a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man. And therefore if a
man write little, he had need have a good memory; if he confer little, he had need have a present wit;
and if he read little, he had need have much cunning to seem to know that he doth not.

Histories make men wise, poets witty, the mathematics subtle, natural philosophy deep, moral grave,
logic and rhetoric able to contend.

(Source- Of Studies- Francis Bacon)

DIRECTIONS for questions 27 to 32: Read the given passage and answer the questions.
PROBLEMS FACING POTENTIAL EXPORTERS
Many firms fail because when they begin exporting, they have not researched the target markets or have
not developed an international marketing plan to be successful. A firm must clearly define goals
objectives and potential problems. Secondly it must develop a definitive plan to accomplish it's
objective regardless of problems involved. Unless the firm is fortunate enough to possess a staff with
considerable expertise, it may not be able to take this crucial first step without qualified outside
guidance.
Often top management is not committed enough to overcome the initial difficulties and financial
requirements of exporting. It can often take more time and effort to establish a firm in a foreign market
than in domestic one. Although the early delays and costs involved in exporting may seem difficult to
justify when compared to established domestic trade the exporter should take a more objective view of
this process and carefully monitor international marketing efforts through these early difficulties. If a
good foundation is laid for export business the benefits derived should eventually out-weigh the
investment.
Another problem area is in the selection of foreign distributor. The complications involved in overseas
communications and transportation require international distributors to act with greater independence
than their domestic counterparts also since a new exporter's trademarks and reputation is usually
unknown in the foreign market. Foreign customers may buy on the strength of distributing agent's
reputation. A firm should therefore conduct a thorough evaluation of the distributor's facilities, the
personnel handling its account and managements methods employed.
Another common difficultly for new exporter is the neglect of the export market once the domestic one
booms: too many companies only concentrate on exporting when there is recession. Others may refuse
to modify products to meet the regulations or cultural preferences of other countries. Local safety
regulations cannot be ignored by exporters. If necessary modifications are not made at the factory the
distributor must make them, this is usually at a greater cost and probably not as satisfactory as it should
be. It should also be noted that the resulting smaller profit margin makes the account less attractive.

If exporters expect distributing agents to actively promote their accounts they must be trained and their
performance must be continually monitored. This requires a company's marketing executive to be
located permanently in the distributor's geographical areas until there is sufficient business to support
the representative. The distributor should also be treated on an equal basis with domestic counterparts
for e.g. special discount offers, sales incentive programmes and special credit terms should be available.

Considering a joint venture or licensing agreement is another option for new exporters. However, many
companies still dismiss international marketing as unviable. There are a number of reasons for this.
There may be import restrictions in the target market. The company may lack sufficient financial
resources or its product line may be too limited. Yet many products that can compete on a national basis
can be successful in the majority of world markets. In general, all that is needed for success is flexibility
in using the proper combinations of marketing techniques.
27. In the first paragraph, the writer suggests that firms thinking about exporting should

1. get professional advice 2. study international marketing

3. identify the most profitable markets 4. have different objectives to other exporters
28. The writer believes that if sufficient preparation is undertaken

1. initial difficulties can be easily avoided

2. the costs can be recovered quite quickly
3. management will become more committed
4. the exporter will be successful in the long term

29. An exporter should choose a distributer who

1. has experienced personnel

2. has good communication skills
3. is well established in the target market
4. is not financially dependent on import business

30. New exporters often make the mistake of ignoring the export market when

1. distribution costs are too high 2. their product is selling well at home
3. there is a global economic recession 4. distributors cannot make safety modifications

31. For a distributor to be successful, the exporter must

1. focus on one particular region

2. finance local advertising campaigns
3. give the same support as to domestic agents
4. make sure there are sufficient marketing staff locally

32. The writer states that some companies are reluctant to export because

1. there is little demand for their products

2. the importation of certain goods is controlled
3. they do not have good marketing techniques
4. they are not able to compete with local business

41. 4 The equation of the line joining the points (5, 2) and (6, -15) is
15  2
y2   x  5
65
=> y- 2 = - 17( x- 5 )
=> 17x + y – 87 = 0.
As no further information is given, so data is insufficient to solve the question.
42. 2 Here the divisors are 2, 3, 4 and 5 and the respective remainders are 1, 2, 3 and 4.
The L.C.M. of (2, 3, 4, 5) = 60.
The least number satisfying the given condition = L.C.M. of (2, 3, 4, 5) – the difference
between the divisor and the respective remainder.
= 60 – 1 = 59
43. 4 Total multiples of 7 between 1and 1000 = 1000 / 7 = 142.
Total multiples of 7 between 1 and 100 = 100 /7 = 14.
Hence total multiples of 7 between 100 and 1000 = 142 – 14 = 128.
44. 3 Both the athletes have run for the same time. So the ratio of their distances will be the same
as the ratio of their speeds. Hence the ratio of the distance covered by A and B, when they
meet for the first time is 4: 5. Hence A has covered 400m and B has covered 500m. So they
will meet at 400m from A’s end.
45. 3 We have the function Y = sin x + log x
The domain of sin x is set of all real numbers. The function log x is defined when x > 0.
Hence the domain of Y is (0, ).
46. 4 If we multiply the terms given in the options one by one, we can check that none of them
will give us x4 + 5x2 + 36. Hence answer is option 4.
47. 2 Let the present average age of committee is x years. So the total age is 4x years. Let the age

it will show 6’oclock again when it will first cover a gap of 1800 and then create further gap

62. 2 Let total viewership for the whole month is 360. Then the viewership of Discovery kids for
the whole month = 75 and of TLC = 55.
The viewership of Discovery Kids for the second half = 50.
Hence the required ratio is 50: 55 = 10: 11.
63. 2 As Discovery Kids is under quoted by 25%, so Discovery kids will be increased by 250.

Hence the viewership of Discovery =  100  41.55%.

Hence 994 = 106 + (n – 1) × 6
=> 888 = (n – 1) × 6 => n – 1 = 148 => n = 149.
65. 3 We will do it by options. Option in which on subtracting 241 becomes a perfect square

Actual ratio of distribution among A, B and C is : : or 4: 3: 2. So the actual share of A

was Rs 80, of B was Rs 60 and of C was Rs 40. When the money was divided in the ratio 3:
4: 6 among A, B and C then they got Rs 41.52, Rs 55.36 and 83.04 respectively. Hence only
share of C has increased.
69. 3 Let the age of mother is ‘x’ years and of daughter is ‘y’ years.
So we have x + y = 42 ……(i)
After 3 years, x + 3 = 3 (y + 3)
=> x + 3 = 3y + 9
=> x – 3y = 6 …….(ii)
Subtracting (ii) from (i), we get, 4y = 36 => y = 9 years and x = 33 years. Hence mother’s
age after 3 years = 36 years.
70. 2 The difference between the terms is 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 21 respectively. Hence the
missing term is 47 + 18 = 65.

should be 46.

= 6 × (7 × 0.30103 + 4 × 0.4771) = 6 × (2.10721 + 1.9084) = 24.09366
Hence the number of digits is 24 + 1 = 25.
74. 4 Angle between minute hand and hour hand at 8’o clock is 30 × 8 = 2400. It will decrease 5.5
0 per minute. So in 24 minutes, it will decrease by 5.5 × 24 = 1320. So the angle between
minute hand and hour hand at 8: 24 p.m. is 2400 – 1320 = 1080.

=> x × 1.77 = 30.09
=> x = 30.09/ 1.77 = 17.
77. 2 In the first 10 years the interest will be 50% of principle i.e. Rs 500. Hence the A = 1000 +

The triangles AOB and COD are similar.
Hence the ratio of areas is equal to the ratio of square of the sides. Since AB is twice of CD,

Let the second discount is 4%.

So the flat discount = 10 + 4 - =14 – 0.4 = 13.6% which is same as the actual value.

Hence the second discount is 4%.

We can observe from diagram 1 that person to the right of A1 is A6 and from diagram 2 that
person sitting to the left of G2 is G3. Now, from diagram 3, A6 will pass message to A1, A1 to
A2, A2 to G6, G6 to G5, G5 to G4 and G4 to G3. Thus, the message will pass through A1-A2-G6-
G5-G4 i.e., 5 persons (except the first and last persons).
131 3 From diagram 3, we can observe that route for sending the message will be A3 - A4 - A5 - A6 -
A1 - A2 - G6 - G5 - G4 - G3 - G2 - G1. Thus, the message will pass through 10 persons (except
the first and last persons).
132 4 We can observe from diagram 1 that person to the right of A2 is A1 and from diagram 2 that
person sitting two places to the left of A4 is A6. Now, according to diagram 3, the message will
pass through A1 - A2 - G6 – A3 - A4 – A5 - A6 i.e., 5 persons (excluding the 2 persons).
133 1 Since, we need to count the least number of persons, thus A3 will pass the message directly to A6,
then the message will follow the normal route upto G6. Then again to get the least persons,
message from G6 will pass directly to G3 and then the message will be transmitted through the
normal route upto G1. Thus, the correct route will be A3 – A6 – A1 – A2 – G6 – G3 – G2 – G1
i.e., the least number of persons involved are 6 (excluding the 2 persons).

DIRECTIONS for question 92 and 96: Read the following passage and answer the questions

"There are several factors that contribute to wisdom. Of these I should put first a sense of proportion; the
capacity to take account of all the important factors in a problem and to attach to each its due weight. This has
become more difficult than it used to be owing to the extent and complexity of the specialized knowledge
required of various kinds of technicians. Suppose, for example, that you are engaged in research in scientific
medicine. The work is difficult and is likely to absorb the whole of your intellectual energy. You have no time
to consider the effect which your discoveries or invention may have outside the field of medicine. You
succeed (let us say), as modern medicine has succeeded, in enormously lowering the infant death-rate, not
only in Europe and America, but also in Asia and Africa. This has the entirely unintended result of making the
food supply inadequate and lowering the standard of life in the most populous parts of the world. To take an
even more spectacular example, which is in everybody's mind at the present time- you study the composition
of the atom from a disinterested desire for knowledge and incidentally place in the hands of powerful lunatics
the means of destroying the human race. In such ways the pursuit of knowledge may become harmful unless it
is combined with wisdom; and wisdom in the sense of comprehensive vision is not necessarily present in
specialists in the pursuit of knowledge.

Comprehensiveness alone, however, is not enough to constitute wisdom. There must be, also, certain
awareness of ends of human life. This may be illustrated by the study of history. Many eminent historians
have done more harm than good because they viewed facts through the distorting medium of their own
passions. Hegel had a philosophy of history which did not suffer from any lack of comprehensiveness, since it
started from earliest time and continued into an indefinite future. But the chief lesson of history which he
sought to inculcate was that from the year A.D. 400 down to his own time, Germany had been the most
important nation and the standard bearer of progress in the world. Perhaps one could stretch the
comprehensiveness that constitutes wisdom to include not only intellect but also feeling. It is by no means
uncommon to find men/ women whose knowledge is wide but those feelings are narrow. Such men / women
lack what I am calling wisdom.

I think the essence of wisdom is emancipation, as far as possible, from the tyranny of the here and the now.
We cannot help the egoism of our senses. Sight, sound and touch are bound up with our own bodies and
cannot be made impersonal. Our emotions start similarly from ourselves. An infant feels hunger or
discomfort; gradually with the years his horizon widens, and, in proportion as his thoughts and feelings
become less personal and less concerned with his own physical states, he achieves growing wisdom. This is of
course a matter of degree. No one can view the world with complete impartiality; however, it is possible to
make a continual approach towards impartiality, on the one hand, by knowing things somewhat remote in time
or space, and, on the other hand, by giving to such things their due weight in our feelings. It is this approach
towards impartiality that constitutes growth in wisdom.

Perhaps in this sense the wisdom can be taught. I think that this teaching should have a larger intellectual
element than has been customary in what has been thought of as moral instruction. I think that the disastrous
result of hatred and narrow mindedness to those who fed them can be pointed out incidentally in the course of
giving knowledge. Knowledge and morals ought not to be too much separated. It is true that the kind of
specialized knowledge which is required for various kinds of skills has very little to do with wisdom. But it
should be supplemented in education by wider surveys calculated to put it in its place in the totality of human
activities. Even the best technicians should also be good citizens, i.e. citizens of the world and not of any one
nation. With every increase of knowledge and skill, wisdom becomes more necessary for every such increase
augments our capacity of realizing our purposes, and therefore augments our capacity for evil, if our purposes
are unwise. The world needs wisdom as it has never needed it before; and if knowledge continues to increase,
the world will need wisdom in the future even more than it does now.

41. 3 Any of the 2 bulbs are switched on one after the other for a different period of time i.e. one for a longer
period and other shorter. Now we go upstairs. The hotter bulb is the one which was turned on for more
time and vice-versa. Hence, the answer is 3rd option.
42. 4 As amount of pre-paid expenses in the balance sheet, which were booked from the previous year to the
current year was increased, means cash has reduced. Also what he gets from his fixed deposits
increases, which is in equal to his sundry expenses. Hence the final effect on cash for this year is that it
reduces.
43. 2 option 1 is incorrect as in this "Placements - my goal" is shown before "MBA Go Getters" which is
against condition 3.
option 3 is incorrect as in this "Placements - my goal" is shown before "The Life is your choice" which
is against condition 3.
option 4 is incorrect as in this "Laugh for a while" is shown after "MBA - Maha Budhiman Aadmi"
which is against condition 2
Hence option 2 is correct which is satisfying all the conditions.
44. 1 Using the relation given between John & Joe and John & Jonathan we can calculate the ratio of their
distribution of coins which also happens to be the ratio of their ages. As per the question, if John takes
Bulls Eye SNAP 2015
www.hitbullseye.com

4 gold coins, Joe takes 3. So ratio between John : Joe = 4 : 3 and if John takes 6 coins, Jonathan takes 7.
So, ratio between John : Jonathan = 6 : 7. Combining the 2 ratios we get John : Joe : Jonathan = 12 :
9 : 14
Now this totals upto 35. But the total of their ages = 17.5. Hence, their ages will be half of the given
ratio i.e.
John = 6 Joe = 4.5 and Jonathan = 7.
45. 3 When clock takes 7 seconds to strike 7, it means the clock takes 7 seconds to cover 6 gaps of time
periods in between 7 gongs. Now to strike 11 o’clock the time periods will be 10. So, time taken will
7
be  10  11.67 sec .

46. 2 The series is 22 – 2, 32 – 3, 52 – 5, 72 – 7, 112 – 11. So answer is 132 – 13 i.e. 156.
47. 3 The logic is 02-1, 12-1, 22-1 and 32-1. So answer is 22-1 = 3
48. 2 Let G, S, R & N be their ages 15 years back. Let Amit & Keshav be born after x & y years,
Thus their ages after 15 years can be written as A-x & K – y respectively. Thus the following equations are
formed:
G = 2 (S + R + N)……………………..(1)
2(G + 15) = (S + 15) + (R + 15) + (N + 15) + A + (15 - x)+ K + (15 – y) …(2)
S + 15 = A + (15 – x)+ K + (15 – y) ……..(3)
G + 15 = (S + 15) + (R + 15)……………...(4)
Substituting equation 3 in 2 & then equation 4 in the new equation formed, we get R = N. Thus G = 24.
Therefore G’s present age is 24 + 15 = 39 years.
49. 3 Since R = N, therefore Ridhi & Nidhi are twins.
50. 1 The statement says that CSR should be followed not only by public but also by corporate which makes
argument II as strong one. So the answer is option 1.
51. 4 As statement talks about importance of Aadhar card in getting LPG subsidy, the arguments seem to
have no link in between. Hence, answer should be option 4.
52. 2 Looking at the options we conclude that (-5) is common in all choices so (A) will be coded as (-5).
Now as C is 3 as per EJOTY, so squaring it makes 9 and further cubing it makes 729. Now subtract 6
to get 723. The same is applicable for B also which makes 2  4  64 – 6  58. Now D  4  16
 4096 – 6  4090.
Hence answer is 2nd option.
53. 1 Logic used is (ENJOTY)2 – 25.
i.e. MONEY = (13)2 (15)2 (14)2 (5)2 (25)2
169 225 196 25 625
- 25 - 25 -25 -25 -25
= 144 200 171 0 600
Hence DOLLAR is option 1
54. 3 Total aspirants = 100. Engineers = 99.
98
Now to make the engineers 98% of total so 99 – x = 100  x  . Solving x = 50.
100

57. 2 If Y is used, then C cannot be used. So, A & B must be used. If B is used then W cannot be used. So,
the only ingredients left are A, B & X.
58. 1 If B is rejected then A & C must be used. Also Z is used so Y cannot be used but W has to be used due
to B’s rejection. Hence, ingredients used are A, C, W & Z.
59. 3 I) W & Y if used then we cannot used B & C which is not possible
II) B & C can be used together.
 SNAP 2015 Bulls Eye
www.hitbullseye.com

III) W, X & Z cannot be used together as we will be left with only one ingredient to be used out of A, B
& C which is not possible. Hence, option 3rd
60. 2 I) If C is used Y is not used and Z can be used. Now we are left with one ingredient out of W & X so
we can use any. So, must not be true.
II) If Y is used, C cannot be used hence, A & B must be used.
III) If C is not used, A & B must be used and W cannot be used. Hence, option 2nd .
61. 2 The logic used is product of the squares of EJOTY sum
i.e. e.g. CAB = 3 + 1 + 2 = 62 = 36. FAN = 6 + 1 + 14 = 212 = 441.  441 × 36 = 15876
571536
Hence, CAN = 3 + 1 + 14 = 182 = 324. So,  1764  42  GIFT7  9  6  20
324
62. 4 The logic used is addition of the EJOTY sum of two words is done and then reversed.
e.g. WOE = 43 and MISERY = 89.  89 + 43 = 132  231
Now, SPLEEN = 71 and total should be 118. So, the EJOTY of other word must be 47 which is DRIP.
63. 4 The logic used is that we take the EJOTY sum of both the letter groups and write them in reverse order
i.e. MBA = 16 and NCB = 19 so we take 1916. Likewise BCA = 6 and CDB = 9 so we have 96
and finally FCA = 10 and GDB = 13 so answer is 1310.
64. 1 Counting the straight lines we get 39.
65. 3 The logic used is that take the first letter of the word represented by pictures i.e.
(B)EE - (4) Fingers - (U)MBRELLA = B4U
(M)ONKEY - (T)EA - (V)ICTORY = MTV
(N)OSE - (D)OG - (T)EA - (V)ICTORY = NDTV
Since all are TV channels so only option is 3rd which is STAR PLUS

114. 2 Let B got x votes, so A got 1.4x & C got 1.2x
Given that 1.4x – 1.2x = 4000
 x = 20000
Hence total number of voters who voted = x + 1.4x + 1.2x = 3.6x
= 3.6 × 20000 = 72000
Now as 90% people voted, so 90% of total voters = 72000

122. 3 Let John’s age 5 years ago = x
His grandfather’s age, 5 years ago = 5x.
John’s age after 25 years = x + 30
John’s grandfather’s age after 25 years = 5x + 30
Given that 5x + 30 = 2 (x + 30)
5x + 30 = 2x + 60
3x = 30
x = 10
 John’s present age = x + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15 years.
His grandfather’s present age = 5x + 5 = 5 × 10 + 5 = 55 years

 log 2 xy = log (x + y).
 x + y = 2 xy

As it contains 26 terms, so the product will have one of the terms as (p - p) which is zero. Thus, the
product of the 26 terms with one term being zero will be surely zero. Hence option 2 is the answer.
142. 3 In one cage there are 9 lions and 81 cubs.
So there are 90 animals in one cage
Hence there are 360 legs in one cage.
Since one man has 9 cages, so total legs of animals with one man = 9 × 360 = 3240
Now there are 9 men, so total legs = 3240 × 9 + 9 × 2 = 29160 + 18 = 29178
143. 4 We will solve this question in parts.
(i) Area of shaded region

= 576 - 144π

(iii) Area of shaded circle

= Area of circle – Area of 2 petals
= π (6)2 – 4 (9π - 18)
= 36π - 36π + 72 = 72

Thus area of 4 shaded circular regions = 72 × 4 = 288

Hence total shaded area of given figure = 576 - 144π+ 288 = 864 - 144π
144. 1 The area of the 1st circle is 352   = 1225.
The diameter of the circle becomes the hypotenuse of the triangle. So the sides of the triangle are 352
each and the semi-perimeter of the triangle is 35(2 + 1). If r is the in-radius of this triangle, then
½  352  352 = r  35(2 + 1)
 r = 35 / (2 + 1).
So the diameter of this circle is 70 / (2 + 1) and this is also the hypotenuse of the 2nd triangle.
The sides of this triangle are 352 / (2 + 1) each. So the area of this triangle is ½  [352 / (2 + 1)]2
= 1225/(2 +1)2. The required ratio is (2 + 1)2.
145. 2 Suresh had lunch for Rs. 162 and took back Rs. 338. Similarly he had smack box for Rs. 37 and took
back Rs. 63
So in total he took 162 + 338 + 37 + 63 = Rs. 600 from the restaurant. Now you can assume that he
gave no money to the restaurant. (As both of his notes were counterfeit). So the restaurant gave him Rs.
600 and got nothing. So the total loss is Rs. 600.
146. 3 We have 2x + 2x + 1 = 48
 2x (1 + 2) = 48  3 × 2x = 48  2x = 16
 2x = 24  x = 4.
x 4
Hence x = 4 = 256
147. 2 Total population of A = 5000
Since 16% population is below poverty lines so 84% is above poverty line
 Pop. above poverty line = 84% of 5000 = 4200
Ratio of males and females above poverty line is 3 : 4
4
 No. of females above poverty line =  4200  2400
7
148. 4 As the total population of C & D is given, so we cannot find the individual number of females below
poverty line.
149. 1 The ratio of Males and Females below poverty line in C is 3 : 4. Since there are 6000 males below
poverty line in C, so there will be 8000 females below poverty line. Hence total people below poverty
line in C = 6000 + 8000 = 14000. Now this is 14% of total population.
Hence 14% of total population = 14000
 Total pop = 100000
The no. of males below poverty line in E is 10000 and the ratio is 4 : 1. Hence there are 2500 females
in E below poverty line. So total people below poverty line is 12500 which is 25% of total population.
Hence total population of state E = 50000
Hence the reqd. ratio is 100000 : 50000 or 2 : 1
