Exercise – 1 The set is a typical example of using the choices to narrow down
the possibilities that exist. From the choices for the question that
Solutions for questions 1 to 5: asked for the buying exchange rate of currency P with respect to
currency D, we have only two possible values for base exchange
Let a, b, c and d be the weightage of parameter F, R, P and I rates of P, Q and R i.e., 1,120 and 100 or 2,240 and 200.

As the company started operations in 2011, for solar power generators manufactured in 2011, the company will provide panels free of
cost in 2012 and 2013. 70% of the people would takes panels from third party vendors in 2014. The 2014 value is 70% of the sum of total
production in 2011, 2012 and the total productions in 2013. In a similar way, we can determine the production in other years.
As 0.7 (x + y) = 840
X + Y = 1200
30
As the company replacement of 2017 is (1200 + 1100 + 800) + 900 + 1200 and

Choice (B)
Exercise – 6
Total Market by Value (MVal) = 6. Average selling price (S) = (1 + profit margin) x Average cost
price (C)
Given that average cost price increased by 20% every year.
Rev enue of company (R) Let C in 2014 = 100
Rev enue of company as percentage (M %) of total market (by v alue) S in 2014 = 1.27 x 100 = 127
S in 2015 = 1.3 x 120 = 156
S in 2016 = 1.24 x 144 179
Total market by v alue(MVal)
Total Market by Volume (MVol) = S in every other year will be more than that in 2016. Hence
Av erage selling price of TV' s (Av . s) S is lowest in the year 2014. Choice (A)

Maths y = 103 – 63 = 40
Choice (D)
The complete information is as given below
Solutions for questions 22 to 25: Burger Pastries
For player D, it can be seen that the runs scored through fours
and sixes are in the ratio 4 : 9, i.e., the smallest possibility is 8 and
8 21 16
18 as the runs scored through sixes is a multiple of six.
In this case the runs scored by D is 50, which gives the total score 6
100 40 42
as 50 = 180, as 10% of the teams score was due to
27.78
extras, the team score would be 200. The next higher possibility 12
of D’s, score takes the total score to 400, which is not possible as
the teams total score is less than 250.
The only possibility is a total score of 200. Bread
The runs and fours and sixes scored by the players are
