"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 aneven 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/

Question 94

P=50% and D=10%
(M ⋅D)

(M ⋅10 )
50 = M - 10 - 100 => M = 66.66

distance it travels before coming to rest is _____
A 1200 meters
B 1600 meters
C 1800 meters
D 1820 meters
Answer: C
Explanation:
For the 1st drop the distance travelled by the ball = 200m
After 1st drop it rebounces to a height of 4/5 * 200 and then falls from that height . The total distance travelled in this case would be
4
2⋅ 5 ⋅ 200
4 4
Similarly the total distance travelled in next case would be 2 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 200
So total distance =
4 4 2 4 3
200 + 2 ⋅ 200 ⋅ ( 5 + ( 5 ) + ( 5 ) + ....)
45 4
200+400( ) = 1800m

Question 123
A number when successively divided by 5 and 6 gives remainders 3 and 2 respectively. What will be the remainders if the number is
successively divided by 3 and 4 ?
A 2, 3
B 2, 1
C 1, 2
D 3, 4
Answer: C
Explanation:
Going in the reverse order
When number is divided by 6 ,the remainder is 2 => the number is of the form 6k+2
When 6k+2 is divided by 5,the remainder is 3 => the number is of the form 5(6k+2)+3 = 30k+13
A 240
B 248
C 256
D 253
Answer: D
Explanation:
The number of zeros in n! = highest power of 5 in n!
1024 1024 1024 1024
Highest power of 5 in 1024! = [ 5 ] + [ 25 ] +[ 125 ] + [ 625 ] where [ ]is the greatest integer function.

Three pipes A, B and C can fill a tank in 12 hours. All the pipes started working together and after 3 hours, C is closed. If A and B can
fill the remaining part in 10 hours, then the number of hours taken by C alone to fill the tank is .
A 100 hours
C 120 hours
D 130 hours
Answer: C
Explanation:
Let efficiencies of A,B,C be a,b,c respectively.
W
Given a+b+c = 12 => Total work = 12(a+b+c)
On solving a+b=9c
So W= 12(9c+c)=120c
120c
Time taken by C alone = c =120 hours

Question 138
Rs. XYZ was deposited at simple interest at a specific rate for 3 years. Had it been deposited at 2% higher rate, it would have fetched
Rs. 360 more. Find Rs. XYZ.
A Rs. 5500
B Rs. 5000
C Rs. 6000
D Rs. 4500
Answer: C
Explanation:

(P⋅3⋅X )
Simple interest in 1st case = 100
(P⋅3⋅ (X +2 ))
Simple interest in 2nd case = 100
A man invests certain amount at 6% per annum simple interest and another amount at 7% per annum simple interest. His income
from the interest after 2 years was Rs. 348. The ratio of first amount to second is 4:5. Find the total amount invested.
A Rs. 2600
B Rs. 2900
C Rs. 2700
Answer: D

Let the total amount invested be 9x
(4x∗2∗6 )
So the interest for 2 years on 4x amount = 100
(5x∗2∗7 )
the interest for 2 years on 4x amount = 100

Mr. Suresh went into a restaurant and had a happy lunch for Rs.162. He paid for the same using a 500 rupee note. He was so happy
with the meal and hence purchased a mini snack box for Rs. 37 and paid for the same using a 100 rupee note. Mr. Suresh ensured
that he collected the balance from the cashier in both cases. Although he was satisfied with the service, he did not pay any tips to the
server. The next day when the cashier went and deposited the money in the bank, it was found by the banker that only the two
currency notes which were given by Mr. Suresh were counterfeit notes. As per policy, the bank immediately tore both the notes using
their shredding machine. What is the total loss to the restaurant in this transaction ?

Following table shows the percentage population of six states below poverty line and proportion of male and female.
If the total population of state A is 5000 then what is the no. of females above poverty line in state A?
A 2000
B 2400
C 2600
D data inadequate
Answer: B
Explanation:
Total population of A=5000
Population of A below poverty line =16% => population of A above poverty line = 84% = 4200
4
Number of females above poverty line in A = 7 ⋅ 4200 = 2400
If the population of C&D together is 20000 what is the total no. of females below poverty line in the above states?
A 5000
B 6000
C 7200
D NOTA
Answer: D
Explanation:
Since the individual populations of C and D aren't given , the number of females below poverty line cannot be determined.
Question 149
If the population of males below poverty line in state C is 6000 & state E 1000 then what is the ratio of the total population of state C&
E is
A 2:1
B 3:5
C 11 : 5
Answer: D
Explanation:
Let total population of C and E be 100x and 100y respectively.
3
Number of males below poverty line in C = 7 ⋅ 14x = 6x = 6000 => x=1000
4
Number of males below poverty line in E = 5 ⋅ 25y = 20y=1000=>y= 50
