In these questions, read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any,
will be in one part of the sentence. Mark that part with the error as your answer. If there is no error, mark 'No
error' as your answer. (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any.)

Question 1

A lot of research has been (a)/ conducted on the field human (b)/ resources for understanding what creates
(c)/ work culture in an organisation. (d)/ No error(e)

A    A lot of research has been

B    conducted on the field human

C    resources for understanding what creates

D    work culture in an organisation

E    No error

Answer: C

Explanation:
Part C contains the error. 'to understand' must have been used instead of 'for understanding'. Since the
statement that follows is in simple present tense, the usage of present continuous tense is inconsistent.
Hence, C is the right answer.

Read the following passage and answer the given questions.


After the Second World War, the leaders of the Western world tried to build institutions to prevent the
conflicts of the preceding decades from recurring. They wanted to foster both prosperity and
interdependence, to 'make war not only unthinkable but materially impossible'. Their work bore fruit.
Expanded global trade has raised incomes around the world. While globalisation is sometimes portrayed as a
corporate plot against the workers; that was not how it was seen before 1914. British trade unions were in
favour of free trade, which kept down food prices for their members and also opened up markets for the
factories in which they worked. Yet, as the Brexit vote demonstrates globalisation now seems to be receding.
Most economists have been blindsided by the backslash. Free trade can be a hard sell politically. The
political economy of trade is treacherous. Its benefits, though substantial, are dilute, but its costs are often
concentrated. This gives those affected a strong incentive to push for protectionism. Globalisation itself thus
seems to create forces that erode political support for integration.
Deeper economic integration required harmonisation of laws and regulations across countries. Differences in
rules on employment contracts or product safety requirements, for instance, act as barriers to trade. Trade
agreements like the TransPacific Partnership focus more on "nontariff barriers" than they do on tariff
reduction. The net impact of this is likely to be that some individuals, consumers and businesses are not
likely to be as benefitted as others and given rise to discontent. Thus the consequences of such trade
agreements often run counter to popular preferences. Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel Prize winner, has warned that
companies influence over trade rules harms workers and erodes support for trade liberalisation. Clumsy
government efforts to compensate workers hurt by globalisation contributed to the global financial crisis, by
facilitating excessive household borrowing, among other things. Researchers have also documented how the
cost of America's growing trade with China has fallen disproportionately on certain American cities. Such
costs perpetuate a cycle of globalisation. Periods of global integration and technological progress generate
rising inequality, which inevitably triggers two countervailing forces, one beneficial and one harmful. On the
one hand, governments tend to respond to rising inequality by increasing redistribution and investing in
education, on the other, inequality leads to political upheaval and war. The first great era of globalisation,
which ended in 1914, gave way to a long period of declining inequality, in which harmful forces played a
bigger rise than beneficial ones. History might repeat itself, he warns. Such warnings do not amount to
arguments against globalisation. As many economists are quick to note, the benefits of openness are
massive. It is increasingly clear, however, that supporters of economic integration underestimated the risks
both that big slices of society would feel left behind and that nationalism would continue to provide an
alluring alternative. Either error alone might have undercut support for globalisation and the relative peace
and prosperity it has brought in combination, they threaten to reverse it.

Question 16

What can be concluded from the example of Britain cited in the passage ?

A    Countries which previously supported globalisation no longer do.

B    Trade unions are losing their influence.

C    Agriculture has suffered in most developed countries.

II. 10y^2 - 9y + 2 =0

A    If x < y

B    If x > y

C    If x ≤ y

D    If x ≥ y

E    If relationship between x and y cannot be determined

Answer: C

Explanation:
I. 15x^2 - 11x + 2 =0
To find the roots of this equation use the formula  x1 = (-b +√(b^2 - 4ac))/2a ; substitute a = 15, b = -11, c = 2

Downloaded From https://cracku.in


we get x1 = 2/5 = 0.4
Similarly to find the another root x2 =  (-b -√(b^2 - 4ac))/2a; we get x2 = 1/3 =0.33
(x1, x2) = (0.4, 0.33)

II. 10y^2 - 9y + 2 =0
Similarly using the above formula we find the roots for 10y^2 - 9y + 2 =0 (a = 10, b = -9, c = 2)
(y1, y2) = (0.5, 0.4)

Comparing the roots (x1, x2) = (0.4, 0.33) with y1 =0.5


clearly y1 is greater than both x1 and x2.

Now compare the roots (x1, x2) with y2 = 0.4


Here we can observe x1 = y2 = 0.4

but x2<y2 i.e.,0.33<0.4

In all cases x<y except one case where x=y. So the answer should be x ≤ y.
Hence option 'C'.

together take to complete the project?

A    6 29

B     5 29

C    5 13

D    6 13

E    None of these

Explanation:
Time taken by 24 children is twice the time taken by 16 women to finish the same project.
Hence, 24 children's work can be completed by 8 women.
1
Work done by 1 woman in 1 day = 28×8
Work done by 28 women and 24 children in 1 day = Work done by (28+8 = 36) women in 1 day

D    5500

Downloaded From https://cracku.in


E    6200

Answer: A

Explanation:
No. of male students in stream A in all universities together in 2009 = (2500-2000)+(1200-600)+(2400-1500)

= 500+600+900 = 2000

No. of male students in stream A in all universities together in 2010 = 2000+1200 = 3200

Since, male students constitute 50% in stream A in 2010

=> Total students(male+female) in stream A in 2010 = 3200∗100


50 = 6400

Question 45

Total number of students studying in streams A and B together in V.K. are what percent less than those
studying in same streams together in St. James ?

A    35%

B    38%

C    40%

D    52%

E    30%

Answer: E

Explanation:
Total students studying in A & B in VK = 1200+1600 = 2800

Total students studying in A & B in St. James = 2500+1500 = 4000

Difference = 4000-2800 = 1200

% students in VK less than those of St. James = 1200

C    290

D    310

E    280

Answer: C

Explanation:
In stream D,

Total students studying in St. James = 550

Female students in St. James= 200

=> Male students in St. James = 550-200 = 350

Total students studying in VK = 500

Female students in VK = 250

=> Male students in VK = 500-250 = 250

Total students studying in DVA = 470

Female students in DVA = 200

=> Male students in DVA = 470-200 = 270

Total students studying in stream D = 350+250+270 = 870

Average students studying in stream D = 870/3 = 290

Question 48

The distance between two cities ( M and N) is 350 km. A train starts from city M at 6 a.m. and travels
towards city N at 63 kmph. Another train starts from city N at 7 a.m. and travels towards city M at 77 kmph.
At what time will the trains meet ?

A    5 : 00 a.m.

B    10 : 00 a.m.

C    9 : 03 a.m.

D    8 : 24 a.m.

E    9 : 20 a.m.

Answer: C

Explanation:
as it is given that train which starts at M at 6 am has a speed of 63 km/hr So distance covered till 7 am = 63
km

Now the remaining distance between M and N is = 287 km

Now a train also starts from N towards M with a speed of 77 km/hr .

Relative speed = 140 km/hr

Time taken to cover the remaining 287 km is = 287


140 = 2hours 3 min

And hence both trains will meet at 9.03 am

B    157

C    191

D    145

Downloaded From https://cracku.in


E    137

Answer: A

Explanation:
Let the missing number be x

9-4=5

20 - 9 = 11

43 - 20 = 23

84 -43 = 41

Let say that (x - 84 = y)

Now check the difference between the differences we got from consecutive numbers.

11 - 5 = 6

23 - 11 = 12

41 - 23 = 18

So y - 41 = 24

y = 65

x = 65 + 84 = 149

Question 53

A    351

B    359

C    375

D    377

E    363

Answer: B

Explanation:
let the missing number be x

15 - 13 = 2

20 - 15 = 5

37 - 20 = 17

102 - 37 = 65

Downloaded From https://cracku.in


y - 102 = z

Now, take difference of differences

5-2 = 3

17 -5 =12

65- 17 = 48

Here we can see 12 = 3×4,48=12×4

z-65 = 48 ×4

z = 257

Hence y = 102 + 257 = 359

Question 55

In Jar A, 140 litre milk was mixed with 40 litre water. Some of this mixture was taken out from Jar A and put
in Jar B. If before the operation, there was 17 litres of milk in Jar B, and afterwards the resultant ratio
between milk and water in jar B was 19 : 3 respectively, what was the amount of mixture that was taken out
from Jar A ? ( in litre)

A    21

B    36

C    46

D    18

E    27

Answer: E

Explanation:
Milk to water ratio in Jar A is 140:40 = 7:2. Let the quantity of taken out mixture from jar A = 9x litre. 

Hence, milk will be 7x and water will be 2x litres.

Therefore, (7x + 17) / 2x = 19/3

=>x = 3

Hence, amount taken out is 9*3 = 27 litres.

Explanation:
Let the present ages of Manini be M and Rinu be R respectively

3 years ago the age of Manini was M-3 and Rinu's age was R-3

It is given that M-3 = 3(R-3)

Now after 8 years age of Manini = M+8 and Rinu's age after 6 years will be = R + 6

Answer: B

Explanation:
let the monthly salary of neil and dipti be 5y and 6y

Downloaded From https://cracku.in


Now as neil save 40 % of monthly salary and dipti save 25% .so saving of neil = 0.4 x 5y = 2y

Savings of dipti = 0.25 x 6y = 1.5 y

It is given that 2y - 1.5y = 1750

0.5y = 1750

y = 3500

So salary of neil = 5y = 17500

A    Rs. 20,400

B    Rs.17,400

C    Rs. 18,600

D    Rs. 19,400

E    Rs. 16,800

Answer: D

Explanation:
Let the cost price of two beds be Rs C per each bed

Now at one bed the profit earned is 25% so its Selling Price(SP1) = 1.25 C

Another bed Selling Price is (SP2) = 1.25 C - 6596

It is given that overall profit is 8 % so,

SP1 + SP2 = 1.08(2C)

1.25C + 1.25C - 6596 = 1.08x2 C

2.5C - 2.16C = 6596

Answer: A

Explanation:

Downloaded From https://cracku.in


Since only one person lives between the one running 4300m and M and also only 2 people live between M
and S, the following 2 cases are possible :-

Downloaded From https://cracku.in


Case 2 :-
Now since only 2 people are there in between the one running 1200 m and the one running 2900 m and the
one running 1200 m lives in an even numbered floor, the only possibilities are :-
The one running 1200 m lives on floor 2 and the one running 2900 m lives on floor 5. This possibility is
rejected as N lives above M, i.e. on the 7th floor and has to run 2100 m more than the one living on floor 3.
This would not be possible as the only pairs with difference of 2100 m among them are 2200 and 4300 m
and 2900 and 5000 m.

The one running 1200 m lives on floor 6 and the one running 2900 m lives on floor 3. This makes N live on
floor 7 and run 5000 m.
In this case, since the number of people living between the one running 5000 m and S is the same as the
number of people living between M and R, R lives on floor 2.
Since only one person lives between R and Q, Q lives on floor 4.

Downloaded From https://cracku.in


Since the one running the shortest distance lives immediately below Q, this case is rejected.

Case 1 :-
Again in this case, the one who runs 1200 m can't live on floor 2, else the one running 2900 m would stay on
floor 5. Now since N runs 2100 m more than the one who stays on floor 3, the one who stays on floor 3 has to
run 2200 m and N has to live on floor 4. Also R would need to stay on floor 1 and since only 1 person stays
between R and Q, Q would need to live in floor 3. Now the one living immediately below Q has to run the
shortest distance, which contradicts with the fact that the one running 1200 m stays on floor 2. Hence this
possibility is rejected.

This the one running 1200 m stays on floor 6 and the one running 2900 m stays on floor 3. This means that N
runs 5000 m and lives on floor 7 (as he lives above M). R lives on floor as the number of people staying
between the one running 5000 m and S is the same as the number of people between M and R. Consequently
Q lives on floor 6 and S runs 750 m.

Downloaded From https://cracku.in


Now, since only one person stays between P and the one running 3600 m, P has to live on floor 3.
Thus the arrangement would look like :-

For this question, the only one living between O and the one running 2900 m is M or the person who runs

This would not be possible as the only pairs with difference of 2100 m among them are 2200 and 4300 m
and 2900 and 5000 m.

The one running 1200 m lives on floor 6 and the one running 2900 m lives on floor 3. This makes N live on
floor 7 and run 5000 m.
In this case, since the number of people living between the one running 5000 m and S is the same as the
number of people living between M and R, R lives on floor 2.
Since only one person lives between R and Q, Q lives on floor 4.

This the one running 1200 m stays on floor 6 and the one running 2900 m stays on floor 3. This means that N
runs 5000 m and lives on floor 7 (as he lives above M). R lives on floor as the number of people staying
between the one running 5000 m and S is the same as the number of people between M and R. Consequently

Answer: E

Explanation:
The one running 4300 m lives on the 4th floor.

Since only one person lives between the one running 4300m and M and also only 2 people live between M
and S, the following 2 cases are possible :-

Downloaded From https://cracku.in


Case 2 :-
Now since only 2 people are there in between the one running 1200 m and the one running 2900 m and the
one running 1200 m lives in an even numbered floor, the only possibilities are :-
The one running 1200 m lives on floor 2 and the one running 2900 m lives on floor 5. This possibility is
rejected as N lives above M, i.e. on the 7th floor and has to run 2100 m more than the one living on floor 3.
This would not be possible as the only pairs with difference of 2100 m among them are 2200 and 4300 m
and 2900 and 5000 m.

The one running 1200 m lives on floor 6 and the one running 2900 m lives on floor 3. This makes N live on
floor 7 and run 5000 m.
In this case, since the number of people living between the one running 5000 m and S is the same as the
number of people living between M and R, R lives on floor 2.
Since only one person lives between R and Q, Q lives on floor 4.

Since the one running the shortest distance lives immediately below Q, this case is rejected.

Case 1 :-
Again in this case, the one who runs 1200 m can't live on floor 2, else the one running 2900 m would stay on
floor 5. Now since N runs 2100 m more than the one who stays on floor 3, the one who stays on floor 3 has to
run 2200 m and N has to live on floor 4. Also R would need to stay on floor 1 and since only 1 person stays
between R and Q, Q would need to live in floor 3. Now the one living immediately below Q has to run the
shortest distance, which contradicts with the fact that the one running 1200 m stays on floor 2. Hence this
possibility is rejected.

This the one running 1200 m stays on floor 6 and the one running 2900 m stays on floor 3. This means that N
runs 5000 m and lives on floor 7 (as he lives above M). R lives on floor as the number of people staying

but not thinnest. E is thinner than F The second thinnest book is 7cm thick and the second thickest book is
13cm thick. (Note: The thickness of all the books is in whole numbers.)

Question 82

If E is 12cm thick, then which of the following is true about E ?

A    F is 2 cm thicker than E.

B    The total thickness of E and C together is 22 cm.

C    E is thinner than D.

D    All the given statements are true

E    E is the third thickest book of all.

Answer: E

Explanation:
C>F>B, A<B, A<E
A is not the thinnest, thus D is the thinnest
F>E

This presents 2 possibilities :-


1. C > F(13 cm) > E > B > A(7cm) >D
2. C > F(13 cm) > B > E > A(7cm) >D

Question 83

If A is 2 cm thicker than D, then how thick is D ?

A    Cannot be determined

B    15 cm

C    5 cm

D    11 cm

E    3 cm

Answer: C

Explanation:
C>F>B, A<B, A<E

F>E

This presents 2 possibilities :-


1. C > F(13 cm) > E > B > A(7cm) >D
2. C > F(13 cm) > B > E > A(7cm) >D

In both the cases, thickness of A is the same, i.e. 7cm. Hence thickness of D = 5cm.
