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)

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.

In these questions, two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and mark
the appropriate answer.
Give answer :
(1) If x < y
(2) If x > y
(3) If x ≤ y
(4) If x ≥ y
Question 30
I. x2 − 9x + 18 = 0
II. 5y 2 − 22y + 24 = 0
A If x < y
B If x > y
C If x ≤ y
D If x ≥ y
Answer: B
Explanation:
x2 − 9x + 18 = 0
(x − 3)(x − 6) = 0
x = 3, 6
5y 2 − 22y + 24 = 0
(5y − 12)(y − 2) = 0
y = 2, 12
5
x>y
I. 6x2 + 11x + 5 = 0
II. 2y 2 + 5y + 3 = 0
B If x > y
C If x ≤ y
D If x ≥ y
Explanation:
6x2 + 11x + 5 = 0
(6x + 5)(x + 1) = 0
x = −1, − 56
2y 2 + 5y + 3 = 0
(2y + 3)(y + 1) = 0
y = − 32 , −1
x≥y
Question 32
I. x2 + 10x + 24 = 0
II. y 2 − 625 = 0
A If x < y
B If x > y
C If x ≤ y
D If x ≥ y
Answer: E
Explanation:
x2 + 10x + 24 = 0
(x + 4)(x + 6) = 0
x = −4, −6
y 2 = 625
y 2 = 25
y = 5, −5
relationship between x and y cannot be established
I. 10x2 + 11x + 1 = 0
II. 15y 2 + 8y + 1 = 0
A If x < y
B If x > y
C If x ≤ y
D If x ≥ y
Answer: E
Explanation:
10x2 + 11x + 1 = 0
(10x + 1)(x + 1) = 0
1
x = −1, − 10
15y 2 + 8y + 1 = 0
(5y + 1)(3y + 1) = 0
y = − 15 , − 13
relationship between x and y cannot be established
I. 15x^2 - 11x + 2 =0
II. 10y^2 - 9y + 2 =0
A If x < y
B If x > y
C If x ≤ y
D If x ≥ y
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
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)
In all cases x<y except one case where x=y. So the answer should be x ≤ y.
Hence option 'C'.

Question 35
The time taken by 24 children to complete a project is twice the time taken by 16 women to complete the
same project. If 28 women complete the project in 8 days, how many days will 28 women and 24 children
together take to complete the project?
A 6 29
B 5 29
C 5 13
D 6 13
E None of these
Answer: A
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
36
= 28×8
9
= 56
∴ Number of days required by them = 56
9 = 6 29

Question 38
A 27
B 5
C 1000
D 64
E 216
Answer: B
Explanation:
Approximately
130.02 ~ 130
241 ~ 240
165.11 ~ 165
Question 39
A 80
B 160
C 180
D 140
E 128
Answer: E
40.09 ~ 40
80.15 ~ 80
60.04 ~ 60
160.12 ~ 160
40 60
Now, (40.09% of 80.15 + 60.04% of 160.12) this equation is equivalent to (( 100 × 80) + ( 100 × 160))
= 32 + 96
= 128
A 15688
B 15388
C 160
D 15288
E 15278
Answer: D
Explanation:
14.08 ~ 14
3.01 ~ 13
104.11 ~ 104
4.02 ~ 4
Now , (14.08² x 3.01 × 104.11 ÷ 4.02) is equivalent to ( 14² x 3 × (104 ÷ 4)) = (196 x 3 x 26) = 15288
Question 41
1 1
4 × 117 − 3 × 16+? = 40
A 35
B 20
D 17
E 10
Answer: D
Explanation:
The given statement can be written as 116
4 − 15
3 − 40 = −x
45 − 29 = x
=> x = 16 ( Approx. 17 - since we have reduced both the values in the question slightly)
Option D is the right answer.

Question 42
Ronnie invested Rs.P in a scheme A offering simple interest at 12% p.a. for two years. He invested the
whole amount he received from scheme A, in another scheme B offering simple interest 15% p.a. for two
years. If the difference between the interest earned from schemes A and B was Rs.264/, what is the value
of P ?
A Rs.2,640
B Rs.2,500
C Rs.2,250
D Rs.1,800
E Rs.2,000
Answer: E
Explanation:
let the initial amount invested be P .
So after two years with 12%per annum ,P will amount to = P + 0.24P = 1.24P
Now 1.24P is invested again at SI 15% for two years and hence it will give an interest amount of = ( 0.3
x1.24P) = 0.372 P
So P = 2000

A 20 : 13
B 15 : 14
C 5 : 4
D 15 : 13
E 13 : 11
Answer: D
Explanation:
Total no. of females studying in stream C in all universities together = 300+300+150 = 750

A 354
B 372
C 400
D 368
E 324
Answer: C
Explanation:
Let the missing number be x

Explanation:
Let the missing number be y
5 - 8 = -3
4 - 5 = -1
7-4=3
18 - 7 = 11
y - 18 = m .......(1)
Now as we can see that the difference between consecutive terms of this series is increasing by (2)n , i.e
-1 - (-3) = 2
3 - (-1) = 4
11 - 3 = 8
m - 11 = 16 .....(2)
From 1 and 2
y = 45

Answer: A
Explanation:
Let the missing number be x
9-4=5
20 - 9 = 11
43 - 20 = 23
84 -43 = 41
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 70
Which of the following live(s) between 0 and the one who runs for 2900 m ?
B Both M and R
E Only R
Answer: A
Explanation:
The one running 4300 m lives on the 4th floor.
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.
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.
Question 71
As per the given arrangement, four of the following five are alike in a certain way and so form a group.
Which one of the following does not belong to the group ?
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 :-
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.
Case 1 :-

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.
Question 72
A Five
B One
C None

The one running 1200 m lives on floor 6 and the one running 2900 m lives on floor 3. This makes N live on

In this case, since the number of people living between the one running 5000 m and S is the same as the

A 4050 m
B 2600 m
C 1200 m
D 3600 m

B 15 cm
C 5 cm
D 11 cm
E 3 cm
Answer: C
Explanation:
C>F>B, A<B, A<E
A is not the thinnest, thus D is the thinnest
F>E
In both the cases, thickness of A is the same, i.e. 7cm. Hence thickness of D = 5cm.
A 17 cm
B 21 cm
D 19 cm
