There is a sense of déjà vu about China’s decision on June 16 to block the


UN Security Council designation of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) deputy chief
Abdul Rahman Makki as a terrorist, given that Beijing had repeatedly
blocked the designation of the Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar
until 2019, and other terror designations prior to that. Here too, the pile of
evidence against Abdul Makki is considerable : that he is part of the
command and control of the UNSC-designated terror group LeT, later
renamed the Jamaat ud Dawa (JuD), which is also an UN-designated
terror group, is in no doubt. He was not just a member of the governing
body or “Shura”; he served as the head of its “foreign relations”
department, and raised funding. He is also a member of LeT chief Hafiz
Saeed’s family (brother-in-law). The LeT/JuD has been _______ in
India, the United States, and even Pakistan for the 26/11 Mumbai attacks,
and Makki was himself tried and sentenced by a Pakistani special court to
nine years imprisonment on terror financing charges — a ruling overturned
a year later. India want him for his involvement in attacks over the past
two decades, including the Red Fort attack in Delhi in 2000, and, more
recently, in attacks on security forces in Jammu and Kashmir . He is on
India’s UAPA list of designated terrorists and also the U.S.’s Specially
Designated Global Terrorists with a $2 million reward for information that
would convict him. Given what India and the U.S., which forwarded the
proposal to put him on the UNSC’s 1267 list of terrorists linked to the al
Qaeda and ISIL, have called “ overwhelming ” evidence , New Delhi has
termed China’s move to place a hold on the process (this could delay it for
as much as six months) as “ regrettable ” and “extremely unfortunate”.

While China’s actions may be motivated by growing acrimony with the U.S.
and India, it is necessary to analyze the situation beyond bilateral tensions.
That Beijing’s last-minute hold on Makki’s listing came even as the
Financial Action Task Force was meeting in Berlin to credit Pakistan’s
actions on terror financing, and begin the process to relieve it from the
grey list, pending an on-site visit in the next few months, may not be a
coincidence. While China defends its actions on Makki and previous
designations that it blocked as “technical objections” based on
“procedural” loopholes, it is clearly part of a pattern of protecting
Pakistan internationally. It is also notable that as a result of China’s
objections or otherwise, none of the terror designations under UNSC 1267
thus fare against LeT commander Zaki ur Rahman Lakhvi in 2008, Hafiz
Saeed in 2009, and Masood Azhar in 2019 actually contain charges against
them for any attacks carried out in India. Beyond criticism and continued
pursuance of the listing, it is necessary for the Government to continue to
gather evidence and systematically build its case on cross-border
terrorism on the international stage that cannot be derailed by political or
geopolitical considerations.

Saeed’s family (brother-in-law). The LeT/JuD has been _______ in
India, the United States, and even Pakistan for the 26/11 Mumbai attacks,
and Makki was himself tried and sentenced by a Pakistani special court to
nine years imprisonment on terror financing charges — a ruling overturned
a year later. India want him for his involvement in attacks over the past
two decades, including the Red Fort attack in Delhi in 2000, and, more
recently, in attacks on security forces in Jammu and Kashmir . He is on
India’s UAPA list of designated terrorists and also the U.S.’s Specially
Designated Global Terrorists with a $2 million reward for information that
would convict him. Given what India and the U.S., which forwarded the
proposal to put him on the UNSC’s 1267 list of terrorists linked to the al
Qaeda and ISIL, have called “ overwhelming ” evidence , New Delhi has
termed China’s move to place a hold on the process (this could delay it for
as much as six months) as “ regrettable ” and “extremely unfortunate”.

While China’s actions may be motivated by growing acrimony with the U.S.
and India, it is necessary to analyze the situation beyond bilateral tensions.
That Beijing’s last-minute hold on Makki’s listing came even as the
Financial Action Task Force was meeting in Berlin to credit Pakistan’s
actions on terror financing, and begin the process to relieve it from the
grey list, pending an on-site visit in the next few months, may not be a
coincidence. While China defends its actions on Makki and previous
designations that it blocked as “technical objections” based on
“procedural” loopholes, it is clearly part of a pattern of protecting
Pakistan internationally. It is also notable that as a result of China’s
objections or otherwise, none of the terror designations under UNSC 1267
thus fare against LeT commander Zaki ur Rahman Lakhvi in 2008, Hafiz
Saeed in 2009, and Masood Azhar in 2019 actually contain charges against
them for any attacks carried out in India. Beyond criticism and continued
pursuance of the listing, it is necessary for the Government to continue to
gather evidence and systematically build its case on cross-border
terrorism on the international stage that cannot be derailed by political or
geopolitical considerations.

There is a sense of déjà vu about China’s decision on June 16 to block the


UN Security Council designation of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) deputy chief
Abdul Rahman Makki as a terrorist, given that Beijing had repeatedly
blocked the designation of the Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar
until 2019, and other terror designations prior to that. Here too, the pile of
evidence against Abdul Makki is considerable : that he is part of the
command and control of the UNSC-designated terror group LeT, later

group, is in no doubt. He was not just a member of the governing body or
“Shura”; he served as the head of its “foreign relations” department, and

States, and even Pakistan for the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, and Makki was

Explanation:

1) Q is sitting fourth to the right of R who is facing north ad is an immediate neighbour of


W.

2) R is not sitting at any of the extreme ends and at least three people are sitting to
either side of Q.

(As there are at least three people are sitting to either side of Q, implies, only one
person is sitting to the left of R.)

3) Both the immediate neighbours of W are facing the same direction.

(As W has two neighbours, it is clear that he is sitting to the immediate right of R. Also,
as three consecutive people are not facing the same direction, implies, both the
immediate neighbours of W are facing north and W is facing south.)

4) W is sitting sixth to the right of U who is facing the same direction as W.

(Implies, U is sitting seventh to the right of R and he is facing south.)

5) People sitting at the extreme ends are facing different directions.

(Implies, the person sitting to the immediate left of R is facing north as U is facing
south.)
6) P is sitting fourth to the right of T who is facing the same direction as U.

identified four people who are facing north, we can safely say that Q is facing south.
Also, not that only V is left to be placed, we can place him between P and Q.)

Hence, R is sitting third to the right of V.

6. Answer: b
Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2. If only argument II is strong. There are people who still
believe in superstitions. People must be educated about good and bad belief.
Superstitions come under bad beliefs it can be dangerous. its blind faith on something.
superstitions inactivate your reasoning capacity. most of the people who follow these
superstitions are uneducated and lack knowledge. the argument I is wrong, it's true
that we must respect others belief but we must not support wrongdoings. Rest all
options are wrong.

7. Answer: d

Explanation:

As per the given statement, Coronavirus could spread to traffic police on conducting
breath analysis. Here, according to the first assumption, only drunken people can pass
on Coronavirus is not correct. As the traffic police stopped using breath analyzers for
fear of contacting Coronavirus, it can be concluded that they do not want to be
infected. Hence, it is a conclusion rather than being an assumption.

Hence, Neither I nor II is implicit.

8. Answer: d

Explanation:

According to the statement the accident is due to the speed of the truck and violation
of red light by the car driver because he ran in the red light. So both fast speed and
breaking red light are the violation of traffic rules. That is why the accident happened.

Conclusion :
I) It will not follow because in statement people did not help after the accident
nothing is mentioned about it. Here we have to conclude according to the statement.

II) It will not follow, In this it is just opposite line of which follows because we have to
follow the traffic rule if truck and car follow the traffic rule the accident did not
happen. So not follow the traffic rules is violation of traffic rule but in this conclusion it
is written reversed.

Hence, Neither I nor II follows.

9. Answer: e

Explanation:

From the given information,

There are three couple and four generations.

1) The eldest couple is Bobby and Kiran, who were born in 1953 and 1950 respectively.

i.e. in the first generation. However, their gender is unknown.


2) Kiran’s only child, Mahesh, was born in 1971 while Mahesh’s only daughter-in-law was
born in 1995.

Since Kiran has only one child, Mahesh, and Mahesh has a daughter-in-law, Mahesh is
married.

Hence, there is one couple in the second generation and one couple in the third
generation.

Since there is a brother-sister pair, it can either be in the first or third generation.

3) Nilesh was born in 1994 while his mother Rita was born in 1972.

Nilesh cannot be in the first generation (as that would increase the number of
generations to 5) or second generation (as Mahesh has no siblings). Hence, Nilesh is in
the third generation.

Hence, Nilesh’s mother, Rita, has to be in the second generation. i.e. Rita is the wife of
Mahesh.

4) Reena is Sakshi’s sister-in-law and was born in 1980.

5) Sakshi has three sons.

Since the third generation should have a couple and a brother-sister pair, Nilesh has a
wife and a sister.
Reena was born in 1980 while the daughter-in-law of Mahesh (i.e. wife of Nilesh) was
born in 1995 .

Hence, Reena is the sister of Nilesh and her sister-in-law, Sakshi, is the wife of Nilesh.

6) Amar, Akbar and Anthony were born in successive years (not necessarily in the
same order). Anthony was the youngest to be born in 2020

The entire family tree is as shown below:

Finally, their dates of births are as follows:


Person Birth year

Bobby(Gender unknown) 1953

Kiran(Gender unknown) 1950

Mahesh 1971

Rita 1972

Reena 1980

Nilesh 1994

Sakshi 1995

Amar 2018/2019

Akbar 2018/2019

Anthony 2020

Since the gender of Booby and Kiran is unknown, either of them can be the
grandmother of Nilesh.
Hence, option 5

12. Answer: b

Explanation:

From the given information,

There are three couple and four generations.

1) The eldest couple is Bobby and Kiran, who were born in 1953 and 1950 respectively.

i.e. in the first generation. However, their gender is unknown.

Hence, there is one couple in the second generation and one couple in the third
generation.
Since there is a brother-sister pair, it can either be in the first or third generation.

3) Nilesh was born in 1994 while his mother Rita was born in 1972.

Nilesh cannot be in the first generation (as that would increase the number of

Reena 1980

Nilesh 1994

Sakshi 1995

Amar 2018/2019

Akbar 2018/2019

Anthony 2020

Consider the solution to the first question.

Reena and Nilesh are siblings.


Hence, option 2.

13. Answer: e

Explanation:

From the given information,

There are three couple and four generations.

1) The eldest couple is Bobby and Kiran, who were born in 1953 and 1950 respectively.

i.e. in the first generation. However, their gender is unknown.

2) Kiran’s only child, Mahesh, was born in 1971 while Mahesh’s only daughter-in-law
was born in 1995.

Since Kiran has only one child, Mahesh, and Mahesh has a daughter-in-law, Mahesh is
married.

Hence, there is one couple in the second generation and one couple in the third
generation.
Since there is a brother-sister pair, it can either be in the first or third generation.

3) Nilesh was born in 1994 while his mother Rita was born in 1972.

Nilesh cannot be in the first generation (as that would increase the number of
generations to 5) or second generation (as Mahesh has no siblings). Hence, Nilesh is in
the third generation.

Hence, Nilesh’s mother, Rita, has to be in the second generation. i.e. Rita is the wife of
Mahesh.

4) Reena is Sakshi’s sister-in-law and was born in 1980.

5) Sakshi has three sons.

Since the third generation should have a couple and a brother-sister pair, Nilesh has a
wife and a sister.

Reena was born in 1980 while the daughter-in-law of Mahesh (i.e. wife of Nilesh) was
born in 1995 .

Hence, Reena is the sister of Nilesh and her sister-in-law, Sakshi, is the wife of Nilesh.
6) Amar, Akbar and Anthony were born in successive years (not necessarily in the
same order). Anthony was the youngest to be born in 2020

The entire family tree is as shown below:

Finally, their dates of births are as follows:


Person Birth year

Bobby(Gender unknown) 1953

Kiran(Gender unknown) 1950

Mahesh 1971

Rita 1972

Reena 1980

Nilesh 1994

Sakshi 1995

Amar 2018/2019

Akbar 2018/2019

Anthony 2020

Consider the family tree in the solution to the first question.

All the statements are false.


Hence, option 5

28. Answer: e

Explanation:
Logic:

In Step 1: All the numbers are divided by 2. (84 / 2 = 42)

In Step 2: The position of the digits are reverse within the each number. (42 = 24)

In Step 3: Addition of 3 in each number. (24 + 3 = 27)

In Step 4: All the numbers are multiplied by 2. (27 * 2 = 54)

In Step 5: Addition of +10, +9, +8. +7, +6, +5, +4, +3, +2, +1 (54 + 10 = 64, 168 + 9 = 177)

In Step 6: Addition of the digits in each number. (64 = 6 + 4 = 10)

In Step 7: Multiplication of 3 within the digits. (1 * 0 * 3 = 0)

In Step 8: Arrange the number in the descending order.

INPUT: 84 36 18 34 64 28 74 16 56 78

STEP 1: 42 18 9 17 32 14 37 8 28 39

41. Answer: a

Explanation:

Given:

The total number of Covishield vaccines = 1,86,000

The total number of Covaxin = 2,15,000


Calculation:

As per the pie chart,

The minimum percentage value of Covaxin in June 2021 is 17% in Madhya Pradesh

The total number of Covaxin in all five states in June 2021 = 2,15,000

⇒ 2,15,000 × 17%

⇒ 36,550

The maximum percentage value of Covishield in June 2021 is 24% in Punjab.

The total number of Covishield vaccines in all five states in June 2021 = 1,86,000

⇒ 1,86,000 × 24%

⇒ 44,640

Required Sum = 36,550 + 44,640

⇒ 81,190

∴ The sum of the minimum number of Covaxin in the state and the maximum number
of Covishield in the state in June 2021 is 81,190.

42. Answer: d

Explanation:

Given:

Represent both of pie charts the percentage of arrival of Covishield Vaccine and
Covaxin respectively in different states of India in June 2021.

Calculation:

As per the pie chart,


Let the total number of Covishield vaccine in all the states be 100x and the total
number of Covaxin in all the states be 100y.

The percentage of Covishield vaccine arrived in Haryana in June 2021 = 18%

The number of Covishield vaccine arrived in Haryana in June 2021:

⇒ 100x × 18%

⇒ 18x

The percentage of Covaxin arrived in Madhya Pradesh in June 2021 = 17%

The number of Covaxin arrived in Madhya Pradesh in June 2021:

⇒ 100y × 17%

⇒ 17y

Required ratio = 18x : 17y

We don't know the value of x and y so, we can't relate to each other.

∴ The information given in the appropriate question is not sufficient to answer so the
answer is "Data can't be determined".

43. Answer: a

Explanation:

Given:

The total number of Covishield vaccines = 1,86,000

The total number of Covaxin = 2,15,000

Formula Used:

Average = Total sum of all numbers/Number item in the cell


Calculation:

As per the pie chart,

The total number of Covishield vaccines reached in all the states in June 2021 =
1,86,000

Sum of percentage values of Covishield vaccines in Punjab, Haryana and Gujarat:

⇒ 24% + 18% + 22%

⇒ 64%

Required average = (64/3) × 186000/100

⇒ 39,680

The total number of Covaxin vaccines reached in all the states in June 2021 = 2,15,000

Sum of percentage values of Covaxin in Rajasthan, Punjab and Gujarat:

⇒ 20% + 22% + 21%

⇒ 63%

Required average = 63% × (215000/3)

⇒ 45,150

Ratio = 39680 : 45150

⇒ 3968 : 4515

∴ The ratio of the average number of Covishield vaccines in Punjab, Haryana and
Gujarat in June 2021 to the average number of Covaxin in Rajasthan, Punjab and
Gujarat in June 2021 is 3968 : 4515.

44. Answer: d

Explanation:
Given:

Covishield vaccine is thrice as Covaxin in June 2021.

Calculation:

As per the pie chart

The ratio of the total number of Covishield vaccine and Covaxin = 3 : 1

Let the total number of Covishiled vaccines in June 2021 be 300x and the total
number of Covaxin in June 2021 be 100x.

The percentage of Covishield vaccine arrived in June 2021 in Madhya Pradesh = 20%

The number of Covishield vaccine arrived in June 2021 in Madhya Pradesh = 300x ×
20%

⇒ 60x

The percentage of Covaxin vaccine arrived in June 2021 in Gujrat = 21%

The number of Covaxin vaccine arrived in June 2021 in Gujrat = 100x × 21%

⇒ 21x

Required Percentage = {(60x – 21x)/21x} × 100

⇒ 3900/21

⇒ 185.71%≈ 186%

∴ The number of Covishield vaccines that arrived in June 2021 in Madhya Pradesh
is186% more than the number of Covaxin vaccines that arrived in June 2021 in Gujrat.

45. Answer: b

Explanation:
Given:

The difference between the number of Covishield vaccines that arrived in June 2021
in Rajasthan and Haryana = 216.

Total number of Covaxin arrived in June 2021 = 1,88,000

Calculation:

As per the pie chart,

The difference between the number of Covishield vaccine arrived in June 2021 in
Haryana and Rajasthan = 18% - 16%

⇒ 2%

Value of 2% ≡ 2166

⇒ 1% ≡ 2166/2

⇒ 100% ≡ 1,08,300

The percentage of Covishield arrived in June 2021 in Gujarat = 22%

The number of Covishield arrived in June 2021 in Gujarat = 108300 × (22/100)

⇒ 23,826

The total number of Covaxin arrived in June 2021 = 1,88,000

The percentage of Covaxin arrived in June 2021 in Gujarat = 21%

The number of Covaxin arrived in June 2021 in Gujarat = 188000 × (21/100)

⇒ 39,480

Required Difference = 39,480 – 23,826

⇒ 15,654
∴ The difference between the number of Covishield and Covaxin arrived in June 2021
in Gujarat is 15,654.

People 2019(In Rs) income from 2019 to 2020

Mahesh 40000 12%

Ramesh 35000 20%

Formula Used:

Increased percentage = {(Increased value)/(Base value)} × 100

Calculation:

The income of Mahesh in 2020 = 40000 × (100 + 12)%

⇒ 40000 × 112%

⇒ 40000 × (112/100)

⇒ 400 × 112

⇒ Rs. 44800

The income of Ramesh in 2020 = 35000 × (100 + 20)%

⇒ 35000 × 120%
⇒ 35000 × (120/100)

⇒ 350 × 120

⇒ Rs. 42000

Increased Income = Rs. (44800 - 42000)

⇒ Rs. 2800

The required Increased percentage = (2800/42000) × 100

⇒ 280/42

⇒ 20/3

⇒ 6.67%

∴ Mahesh's income will be approximately 6.67% more than Ramesh's income in the
year 2020.

Calculation:

The income of Rahul in 2020 = 30000 × (100 + 15)%

⇒ 30000 × 115%

The income of Saurav in 2020 = 45000 × (100 + 15)%

⇒ 45000 × 115%

The required ratio = (30000 × 115%)/(45000 × 115%)

⇒ 30/45

⇒2∶3

∴ T he ratio of income of Rahul and Sourav in the year 2020 will be 2 ∶ 3.

48. Answer: c

Explanation:

Given:

The ratio of expenditure and savings of Mahesh in the year 2020 = 3 ∶ 2

The saving of Mahesh in the year 2019 = 10% more than the saving of Mahesh in the
year 2020

Name of the Income of the People in Increased percentage of people's


People 2019(In Rs) income from 2019 to 2020

Mahesh 40000 12%

Formula Used:
Income = Saving + Expenditure

Calculation:

The income of Mahesh in 2020 = 40000 × (100 + 12)%

⇒ 40000 × 112%

⇒ 40000 × (112/100)

⇒ 400 × 112

⇒ Rs. 44800

Let the expenditure and saving of Mahesh in the year be Rs. 3x and Rs. 2x
respectively.

Now, Income = Saving + Expenditure

⇒ 44800 = 2x + 3x

⇒ 44800 = 5x

⇒ x = 44800/5

⇒ x = 8960

The saving of Mahesh in 2020 = 2 × 8960

⇒ Rs. 17920

The saving of Mahesh in 2019 = 17920 × (100 + 10)%

⇒ 17920 × 110%

⇒ 17920 × (110/100)

⇒ 1792 × 11

⇒ Rs. 19712

∴ The saving of Mahesh in the year 2019 will be Rs. 19712.

50. Answer: b

Explanation:

Given:

Name of the Income of the People in Increased percentage of people's


People 2019(In Rs) income from 2019 to 2020

Suresh 30000 25%

Ramesh 35000 20%

Sonu 42000 10%

Formula Used:

Average = (Sum of all observations)/(Number of observations)

Calculation:

The income of Ramesh in 2020 = 35000 × (100 + 20)%

⇒ 35000 × 120%

⇒ 35000 × (120/100)

⇒ 350 × 120

⇒ Rs. 42000

The income of Suresh in 2020 = 30000 × (100 + 25)%

⇒ 30000 × 125%
⇒ 30000 × (125/100)

⇒ 300 × 125

⇒ Rs. 37500

The income of Sonu in 2020 = 42000 × (100 + 10)%

⇒ 42000 × 110%

⇒ 42000 × (110/100)

⇒ 420 × 110

⇒ Rs. 46200

The total sum of the income of Ramesh, Suresh and Sonu together in the year 2020 =
Rs. (42000 + 37500 + 46200)

⇒ Rs. 125700

The required average = 125700/3

⇒ Rs. 41900

∴ T he average income of Ramesh, Suresh and Sonu together in the year 2020 will be
Rs. 41900.

51. Answer: a

Explanation:

GIVEN:

A's efficiency = 37.5% of B

B's time = 7 days

FORMULA USED:
Work = Efficiency × Time
CALCULATION:

37.5% = 3/8

B's efficiency = 8x

A's efficiency = 3x

Work = 8x × 7 = 56x

75% of work = 3/4 × 56x = 42x

A's time = 42x/3x = 14 days

∴ Quantity A > Quantity B

52. Answer: e

Explanation:

GIVEN:

A's capital = Rs 20000

B joined after 4 months

C joined after 6 months

Profit ratio = 15 : 4 : 6

CONCEPT:

Profit is divide in the ratio of capital × time period.

CALCULATION:

Let amount of B and C be x and y respectively.

A's investment = 20000 × 12 = 240000


B's investment = x × 8 = 8x

C's investment = y × 6 = 6y

A.T.Q

15 ratio = 240000

∴ 4 ratio = 240000/15 × 4 = 64000

B's starting capital = 64000/8 = 8000

Also, 3 ratio = 240000/15 × 6 = 96000

C's starting capital = 96000/6 = 16000

required difference = 16000 - 8000 = 8000

∴ Quantity A = Quantity B

53. Answer: a

Explanation:

GIVEN:

M.P = Rs 24000

Discount in first case = 35%

Discount in second case = 20% + 15%

FORMULA USED:

S.P = M.P × (100 - Disc.)%

CALCULATION:

S.P 1 = 24000 × 65/100


⇒ Rs 15600

S.P 2 = 24000 × 80/100 × 85/100

⇒ 24 × 8 × 85 = Rs 16320

Required difference = Rs 720

∴ Quantity A > Quantity B

54. Answer: b

Explanation:

GIVEN:

Initial distance = 200 m (Bus ahead)

Distance after 63 seconds = 150 m (car ahead)

Car's speed = 78 km/h

CONCEPT:

When two objects are moving in the same direction the relative speed is the
difference of their individual speeds.

FORMULA USED:
Speed = Distance/Time

CALCULATION:

Relative speed = (200 + 150)/63 = 350/63

⇒ 50/9 m/s

⇒ 50/9 × 18/5 = 20 km/h

Also, Relative speed = Car's speed - Bus's speed


∴ 20 = 78 - Bus's speed

⇒ Bus's speed = 58 km/h

∴ Speed of the bus is 58 km/h.

m/s × 18/5 = km/h

55. Answer: e

Explanation:

Quantity A:

C and D fill a tank in 45 minutes and 30 minutes.

Total capacity of the tank(L.C.M of 45 & 30) = 90 units

Tank filled by the pipe C in 1 minute = 90/45 ⇒ 2 units

Tank filled by the pipe D in 1 minute = 90/30 ⇒ 3 units

Tank filled by C and D in 1 minute = 5 units

5 units are filled in 1 minute.

∴ 90 units are filled in 18 minutes i.e (90/5)

Time taken by pipes to fill a tank is 18 minutes.

Quantity B:

18 minutes

∴ Quantity A = Quantity B
56. Answer: a

Explanation:

Calculation:

According to the question,

Total employees in company D are

(560 + 280 + 350 + 410)

⇒ 1600

Total employees in company D are 1600

E is 15% more than employees in company D

⇒ (1600 × 115)/100

⇒ 1840

Total employees in company E are 1840

Total employees in company A are

⇒ (440 + 360 + 400 + 300)

⇒ 1500

Total employees in company A are 1500

Then difference between employees in company E and A

⇒ E – A = 1840 – 1500

⇒ 340

∴ The difference between E and A is 340


57. Answer: c

Explanation:

Calculation:

Total number of other sector

⇒ (300 + 420 + 480 + 410)

⇒ 1610

⇒ 1610/4

⇒ 402.5

∴ The average of other sector in all company is 402.5

58. Answer: d

Explanation:

Calculation:

Marketing sector in company A and B = 840

Secondary sector in company A and B = 700

According to the question,

⇒ 770

∴ The average of company A and B is 770


59. Answer: a

Explanation:

Given:

Total marketing sector in company is 440

Calculation:

Total employee in company A is

⇒ (440 + 360 + 400 + 300)

⇒ 1500

Percent of the employee in company A is in the marketing sector

⇒ (440 × 100)/ 1500

⇒ 29.33%

∴ Company A in the marketing sector is 29.33% (about)

60. Answer: b

Explanation:

Given:

Employees working in the primary sector in company B = 520

Employees working in the marking sector in company D = 560

Calculation:

Required ratio = 520 : 560

loopholes, it is clearly part of a pattern of protecting Pakistan internationally".
From the above sentences, we can say that the central theme of the passage
is '' China blocks India-US joint bid to label Abdul Makki as ‘Global Terrorist’ .''

Hence, the only possible answer is option 3 .

that Beijing had repeatedly blocked the designation of the Jaish-e-
Mohammad chief Masood Azhar until 2019, and other terror designations prior
to that . ''

96. Answer: e

Explanation:

The correct answer is ‘F ’.

Key Points

Reading all the sentences, it is evident that they all are related to the
educational issues/problems concerning the children diagnosed with cancer.
The opening sentence should introduce the topic and should be an assertive
statement. It should not contain any linking words as it is the first sentence.
From the given sentences, we can infer that either A or Fmay be the first
sentence. However, it is evident that sentence F gives a clear introduction to
the topic stating that Cancer diagnosis has a significant impact. Sentence A
mentions interventions to enable these children to access education. Thus, we
can infer that it is a part of the description that comes later, rather than an
introduction.

Thus, the first sentence is F.


97. Answer: a

Explanation:

The correct answer is ‘B’ .

Key Points

Reading all the sentences, it is evident that they all are related to
the educational issues/problems concerning the children diagnosed with
cancer.
Following the first sentence, we can guess that either B or E might be the
second sentence. While sentence B talks about the diagnosis and treatment
stage, sentence E talks about the post-treatment stage. Therefore, B takes
precedence. The issues at the stage of diagnosis/ treatment is first explained,
which is followed by the issues in the post-treatment phase.

Thus, the second sentence is B .

98. Answer: b

Explanation:

The correct answer is ‘E’ .

Key Points

Reading all the sentences, it is evident that they all are related to the
educational issues/problems concerning the children diagnosed with cancer.
Following the first two sentences F and B, we can infer that the next sentence
talks about the issues in the post-treatment stage. So, the correct sentence is
E. The previous sentence talks about the issues in the diagnosis/ treatment
stage.

Thus, the third sentence is E .


99. Answer: d

Explanation:

The correct answer is ‘A ’.

Key Points

Reading all the sentences, it is evident that they all are related to the
educational issues/problems concerning the children diagnosed with cancer.
Following the sequence of sentences F-B-E-4, we can infer that the next
sentence in the sequence should be in connection with sentence 4(fixed
sentence). Sentence 4 mentions that the educators and healthcare
professionals identify the need to have an approach to address the learning
issues of children with cancer. Thus, the next sentence will be related to this
training approach to address the issue. As sentence A talks about the range of
interventions developed in order to secure access to these affected children, it
is the correct sentence in the sequence.

Thus, the fifth sentence is A .

100. Answer: a

Explanation:

The correct answer is ‘C’ .

Key Points

Reading all the sentences, it is evident that they all are related to
the educational issues/problems concerning the children diagnosed with
cancer.
Following the sequence of sentences F-B-E-4-A , we can infer that the next
sentence in the sequence should talk about the interventions in detail. While
sentence A mentions that there has been a range of interventions developed,
the next sentence should elaborate on those interventions. Therefore,
sentence G that mentions various interventions, will be the sixth sentence in
the sequence.
The sequence will now be F-B-E-4-A-G .
The only statement remaining is ‘C’. Hence, it will be the last sentence. Also, it is
coherent with the information mentioned in the previous sentence G. Sentence
C says that there is no evidence to indicate which intervention( among those
mentioned in G) has a positive effect on the affected children. The sequence of
sentences in the paragraph will now be F-B-E-4-A-G-C.

Thus, the seventh sentence is C.

105. Answer: a

Explanation:

Calculations:

Let the total number of voters be x.

Number of votes cast = 75% of x

Valid votes = 98% of 75% of x

Now, as 9261 is the 75% of valid casted votes so,

⇒ 75% of 98% of 75% of x = 9261

⇒ 75 × 98 × 75 × x/100 × 100 × 100 = 9261

109. Answer: e
Explanation:

Shortcut Trick

I. 14x 2 - 32x - 30 = 0

There are three terms = a, b, and c

Where 'a' = value of x 2, 'b' = Value of x, 'c' = 30

'c' is negative here.

II. 10y 2 - y - 24 = 0

There are also three terms = a, b, and c

Where 'a' = value of y 2, 'b' = Value of y, 'c' = 24

'c' is also negative here.

If the value of 'c' is negative in both statements, then the answer always be "x = y or
the relation between x and y can’t be established."

Basic and conventional method is given below:

From I,

14x 2 - 32x - 30 = 0

⇒ 14x 2 - 42x + 10x - 30 = 0

⇒ 14x(x- 3) + 10(x - 3) = 0

⇒ (14x + 10)(x - 3) = 0

Taking,

⇒ 14x + 10 = 0 or x - 3 = 0

⇒ x = - 5/7 or x = 3
From II,

10y 2 - y - 24 = 0

⇒ 10y 2 - 16y + 15y - 24 = 0

⇒ 2y(5y- 8) + 3(5y - 8) = 0

⇒ (5y - 8)(2y + 3) = 0

Taking,

⇒ 2y + 3 = 0 or 5y - 8 = 0

⇒ y = - 3/2 or y = 8/5

Comparison between x and y (via Tabulation):

x Y Relation

- 5/7 - 3/2 x > y

-5/7 8/5 x<y

3 3/2 x>y

3 8/5 x>y

∴ x = y or no relation found between x and y.

110. Answer: e

Explanation:

Given:
I. x 2 + 4x - 21= 0

II. y 2 - 5y - 24 = 0

Calculation:

From I,

x 2 + 4x - 21= 0

⇒ x 2 + 7x - 3x - 21= 0

⇒ x(x + 7) - 3(x + 7) = 0

⇒ (x + 7)(x - 3) = 0

Taking,

⇒ (x + 7) = 0 or (x - 3) = 0

⇒ x = -7 or 3

From II,

y 2 - 5y - 24 = 0

⇒ y 2 - 8y + 3y - 24 = 0

⇒ y(y - 8) + 3(y - 8) = 0

⇒ (y - 8)(y + 3) = 0

Taking,

⇒ (y - 8) = 0 or (y + 3) = 0

⇒ y = 8 or -3

Comparison between x and y (via Tabulation):


Value of x Value of y Relation

-7 8 x<y

-7 -3 x<y

3 8 x<y

3 -3 x>y

∴ x = y or relation between x and y can not be established.

111. Answer: d

Explanation:

Given:

I. x 2 - 25x + 156 = 0

II. y 2 – 23y + 132 = 0

Calculation:

I. x 2 - 25x + 156 = 0

⇒ x 2 – 12x – 13x + 156 = 0

⇒ x(x – 12) – 13(x – 12)= 0

⇒ (x – 12)(x – 13) = 0
⇒ x = 12, 13

II. y 2 – 23y + 132 = 0

⇒ y 2 – 12y – 11y + 132 = 0

⇒ y(y – 12) – 11(y – 132) =0

⇒ (y – 12)(y – 11) = 0

⇒ y = 12, 11

Value of ‘x’ Relation Value of ‘y’

12 = 12

12 > 11

13 > 12

13 > 11

When we compared the values of ‘x’ and ‘y’ in the table above, we found that there
are TWO relations between X and Y i.e. > and =. So, a relation between x and y is “ x ≥ y
”.

∴ After comparison, all the values of x and y the relation is “ x ≥ y ”.

112. Answer: c

Explanation:
Given:

I. x 2 - 27x + 182 = 0

II. y 2 – 28y + 196 = 0

Calculation:

I. x 2 - 27x + 182 = 0

⇒ x 2 – 13x – 14x + 182 = 0

⇒ x(x – 13) – 14(x – 14)= 0

⇒ (x – 13)(x – 14) = 0

⇒ x = 13, 14

II. y 2 – 28y + 196 = 0

⇒ y 2 – 14y – 14y + 196 = 0

⇒ y(y – 14) – 14(y – 14) =0

⇒ (y – 14)(y – 14) = 0

⇒ y = 14, 14

Value of ‘x’ Relation Value of ‘y’

13 < 14

14 = 14

When we compared the values of ‘x’ and ‘y’ in the table above, we found that there
are TWO relations between X and Y i.e. < and =. So, a relation between x and y is “x ≤
y”.

∴ After comparison, for all the values of x and y the relation is “x ≤ y”.

113. Answer: a

Explanation:

According to the given equations,

I. 9x 2 – 18x – 16 = 0

⇒ 9x 2 – 24x + 6x – 16 = 0

⇒ 3x(3x – 8) + 2(3x – 8) = 0

⇒ (3x – 8) (3x + 2) = 0

⇒ x = 8/3, -2/3

II. 15y 2 + 39y + 24 = 0

⇒ 15y 2 + 15y + 24y + 24 = 0

⇒ 15y(y + 1) + 24(y + 1) = 0

⇒ (y + 1) (15y + 24) = 0

⇒ y = -1, -8/5

Comparison between x and y (via Tabulation):


x y Relation

8/3 -1 x>y

8/3 -8/5 x > y

-2/3 -1 x>y

-2/3 -8/5 x > y

∴x > y

114. Answer: c

Explanation:

Let the parts be Rs. ‘x’ and Rs. (10000 – x)

∵ Simple interest = (Principal × Rate × Time)/100

Simple interest on Rs. x at 12.5% after 4 years = (x × 12.5 × 4)/100 = 0.5x

∵ Compound interest after n years = Principal × [(1 + Rate/100) n– 1]

Compound interest on Rs. (10000 – x) at 10% after 2 years

= (10000 – x) × [(1 + 10/100) 2– 1]

= (10000 – x) × 0.21

= 2100 – 0.21x
Now, total interest received = Rs. 3840

⇒ 0.5x + 2100 – 0.21x = 3840

⇒ 0.29x = 1740

⇒ x = 1740/0.29 = Rs. 6000

⇒ 10000 – x = Rs. 4000

∴ Required ratio = 6000 ∶ 4000 = 3 ∶ 2

115. Answer: b

Explanation:

Given:

Pipe P can fill a tank in 44 minutes

Pipe R can fill a tank in 33 minutes.

Calculation:

Total capacity of tank = 132 units

⇒ Tank filled in 1 minute by pipe P = 3 units (i.e. 132 / 44)

⇒ Tank filled in 1 minute by pipe R = 4 units (i.e. 132 / 33)

⇒ Tank filled in first minute by pipe P = 3 units

⇒ Tank filled in second minute by pipe P = 3 units

⇒ Tank filled in third minute by pipe R = 4 units

⇒ Tank filled in fourth minute by pipe R = 4 units

So, in 4 minutes tank is filled = 14 units


⇒ in first 36 minutes tank is filled = 126 units

remaining 6 units will be filled by pipe P in next 2 minutes.

∴ 38 minutes are required to fill that tank

116. Answer: c

117. Answer: c

Explanation:

Given:

Number of purchased calculator = 150

Each calculator cost price = Rs. 220

Spend on transportation = Rs. 7,000

Each calculator's label price = Rs. 400

Discount on printed price = 5%

Concept:

Total price amount = Number of pieces × per piece price

Gain = Selling price – Cost price

Gain% = (Gain/Cost price) × 100

Calculation:

Cost for purchase 150 calculator = 150 × 220

⇒ Rs.33,000

Total amount spent including transportation = 33000 + 7000

⇒ Rs.40,000

Labelled price for 150 calculators = 150 × 400

⇒ Rs.60,000
Selling price after discount of 5% = 60000 × (1 – 5/100)

⇒ 60000 × (95/100)

⇒ Rs.57,000

Gain = 57000 – 40000

⇒ 17,000

Gain% = (17000/40000) × 100

⇒ 42.5%

∴ Gain profit of 42.5% in overall transaction.

118. Answer: a

Explanation:

Given

Time taken in travelling = 12 hours

Speed of stream = 5 km/hour

Speed of the boat in still water = 10 km/hour

Formula used

Time = (Distance/Speed Upstream) + (Distance/Speed Downstream)

Calculation

Let the distance travelled be x km

12 = [x/(10 - 5)] + [x/(10 + 5)]

⇒ 12 = (x/5) + (x/15)
⇒ x = 45 km

∴ The distance between P and Q is 45 km.

119. Answer: b

Explanation:

Given:

From statement I,

Marks in English = 80% of marks in Science

From statement II,

Ratio of marks in English, Hindi and Science = 4 : 3 : 5

From statement III,

Marks obtained in Science = Marks in Hindi + 40

Formula used:

Average = (Sum of values)/(Number of value)

Calculation:

From statements II and III together,

Let the marks obtained by Vikash in Hindi be 3x.

Then, marks obtained in English = 4x

and marks obtained in Science = 5x

So, 5x – 3x = 40

⇒ 2x = 40
⇒ x = 20

Marks obtained in English = 4 × 20

⇒ 80

Marks obtained in Hindi = 3 × 20

⇒ 60

and marks obtained in Science = 5 × 20

⇒ 100

Now, Total marks obtained 3 subjects = 80 + 60 + 100

⇒ 240 marks

Required average = 240/3

⇒ 80 marks

∴ Both statements II and III are required to answer the question.

120. Answer: e

Explanation:

From I:

Let the rate of interest be R%.

A × R × 4/100 = 2A –A

⇒ R = 25%

Hence statement I is alone sufficient

From II:
Let the rate of interest be R%.

Simple interest earned by mamta = 5000Rt/100

Simple interest earned by sajan = 3000RT/100

5000Rt/3000RT = 4/7

⇒ 5t/3T = 4/7

⇒ But we cannot determine the rate of interest.

Hence, statement II alone is not sufficient.

From III:

Let the rate of interest be R%.

S[R/100 + 1] 2= 4S

⇒ [R/100 + 1] = 2

R = 100%

Hence, statement III is alone sufficient.

121. Answer: a

Explanation:

Calculation:

By combining statements, I and II:

We conclude the age of Lucky and the age of Shanti. So, we can find the sum as well.

Statement II and III indirectly means the same.

So, by combining I and III we can get our answer.


Statement I and II together or Statement I and III together are sufficient.

122. Answer: a

Explanation:

Calculation:

For Statement I and III:

We can conclude our answer to 500 meters.

For statement II:

The only ratio is given therefore can’t find anything.

For statement I and II:

We can find the answer as we have the ratio and the distance.

Statement I and III together or Statement I and II together are sufficient.

123. Answer: b

Explanation:

From I and II:

Total apple given to men = 114 × 10/(10 + 5 + 4) = 60

Total apple given to women = 114 × 5/(10 + 5 + 4) = 30

Total apple given to children = 114 × 4/(10 + 5 + 4) = 24

From II : Let apple received by 1 child is ‘a’ and that of by 1 men = ‘2a’ respectively.

Hence, statements I and II together are not sufficient.


From I and III:

Total apple given to men = 114 × 10/(10 + 5 + 4) = 60

Total apple given to women = 114 × 5/(10 + 5 + 4) = 30

Total apple given to children = 114 × 4/(10 + 5 + 4) = 24

Let apple received by 1 men, 1 women and 1 child is 4b, 3b and 2b respectively.

Ratio of men, women and child = 60/4b : 30/3b : 24/2b = 15 : 10 : 12

So men = 37 × 15/(15 + 10 + 12) = 15, women = 37 × 10/(15 + 10 + 12) = 10 and children =


37 × 12/(15 + 10 + 12) = 12

Number of apple each men, women and child together receive = 60/15 + 30/10 +
24/12 = 9

Hence statement I and III together are sufficient.

124. Answer: e

Explanation:

Given

Length of floor = 11 meter + radius of circle

Circumference = 308 m

Perimeter (floor of room) = 204 m

Cost of flooring = Rs. 20 m 2

Formula

Circumference of circle = 2πr

Area of rectangle = Length × breadth


Calculation

According to the question

308 = 2 × (22/7) × r

⇒ r = (308 × 7) / (22 × 2)

⇒ r = 49 m

Length of floor (l) = 49 + 11 = 60 meter

Now,

2(l + b) = 204 (b = breadth)

⇒ l + b = 102

⇒ b = 102 – 60

⇒ b = 42 meter

Area of floor = 60 × 42 = 2520 m 2

∴ Required cost = 2520 × 20 = Rs. 50,400

125. Answer: e

Explanation:

Given:

Length of train = 220m

Speed of train = 54 km/hr

Speed of cycle = x km/hr

Time = 22 seconds
Formula Used:

Relative Speed = Speed of train – Speed of Cycle

Distance = Relative Speed × Time

Calculation:

Relative speed = (54 – x) km/hr

⇒ (54 – x) × 5/18 m/s

Distance = Speed × time

⇒ 220 = (54 – x) × 5/18 × 22

⇒ 10 = (54 – x) × 5/18

⇒ (54 – x) = 36

⇒ x = 18 km/hr

∴ The value of x is 18km/hr.

Mistake Points

Here, the speed of the person is also converted into km/h by multiplying the relative
speed by 5/18.

126. Answer: a

Explanation:

Given

Saima invested in gold for first year = Rs. 50000

Saima invested more in gold for second year = Rs. 10000

Saima’s brother invested for 7 month = Rs. 60000


Saima’s brother withdrawal from first years amount = Rs. 5000

Profit earned by Saima at the end of second year = Rs. 42000

Calculation

Saima invested for second year = Rs. 50000 + Rs 10000 = Rs. 60000

Saima’s brother invested for second year = Rs. 60000 – Rs. 5000 = Rs. 55000

According to question

Capital Ratio = 50000 × 12 + 60000 × 12 : 60000 × 7 + 55000 × 12

⇒ 600000 + 720000 : 420000 + 660000

⇒ 1320000 : 1080000 = 11 : 9

Let total profit earned by both = Rs x

Saima’s profit for 2 years = x × 50% × 50% + x × 50% × 11/20

⇒ 42000 = 21 x/40

⇒x = (42000 × 40)/ 21

⇒ x = Rs. 80000

∴ Total profit earned by Saima and her brother after 2 years is Rs. 80,000

127. Answer: b

Explanation:

Given:

A works twice as fast as B

B works twice as fast as C


Concept Used:

Work Done = Time Taken × Rate of Work.

Calculation:

Let x be a time taken.

The ratio of efficiency of A : B : C is 4 : 2 : 1 .

the ratio of time taken for A : B : C is 1 : 2 : 4 .

According to the question

A works 16 times as his efficiency and completes the whole in 12 days

Total Work from A = 16 × 4 × 12

⇒ 768

Required for B if he works 32 efficiencies and C with 64 times of his efficiency

Total Work = {(32 × 2) + 64} × x

⇒ 768 = 128x

⇒x=6

∴ Together to complete the same job in 6 days.

Alternate Method

Let efficiency of A, B and C be 4x, 2x and x respectively

Total work if A works 16 times of his efficiency = 4x × 16 × 12

Efficiency of 32 times of B = 2x × 32

Efficiency of 64 times of C = x × 64

Required time taken = (4x × 16 × 12) ÷ (64x + 64x)


⇒ (64x × 12) ÷ 128x

⇒ 6 days

∴ Required time taken is 6 days

128. Answer: e

Explanation:

Given:

Total votes cast = 1600

Votes

Candidates Total Votes

Male Female

A 345

B 120

D 250 450

C got 80 votes less than the total votes of A and the ratio of male and female votes
of C is 3: 1.

The female votes of B = 40% of the male votes of C.


Formula used:

Average = (Sum of values)/(Number of values)

Calculation:

Let the male votes won by C be x.

Then, the female votes won by B = 40% of the male votes won by C

⇒ 120 = (40/100) × x

⇒ x = 120 × (5/2)

⇒ x = 300 male votes

Number of female votes won by C = (1/3) × 300

⇒ 100 female votes

and the number of female votes won by D = 450 – 250

⇒ 200 female votes

Now, required average = (120 + 100 + 200)/3

⇒ (420/3)

⇒ 140

∴ The average number of female votes won by B, C and D is 140.

129. Answer: d

Explanation:

Given:

Total votes cast = 1600


Votes

Candidates Total Votes

Male Female

A 345

B 120

D 250 450

C got 80 votes less than the total votes of A and the ratio of male and female votes
of C is 3: 1.

The female votes of B = 40% of the male votes of C.

Calculation:

Let the male votes won by C be x.

Then, the female votes won by B = 40% of the male votes won by C

⇒ 120 = (40/100) × x

⇒ x = 120 × (5/2)

⇒ x = 300 male votes

Total votes won by C = [(3 + 1)/3] × 300

⇒ (4/3) × 300
⇒ 400 votes

and total votes won by A = 400 + 80

⇒ 480 votes

Now, total votes won by B = 1600 – (480 + 400 + 450)

⇒ 1600 – 1330

⇒ 270 votes

Number of male votes won by B = 270 – 120

⇒ 150 male votes

Required difference = 150 – 120

⇒ 30

∴ 30 is the difference between the male and female votes won by B.

130. Answer: c

Explanation:

Given:

Total votes cast = 1600


Votes

Candidates Total Votes

Male Female

A 345

B 120

D 250 450

C got 80 votes less than the total votes of A and the ratio of male and female votes
of C is 3: 1.

The female votes of B = 40% of the male votes of C.

Calculation:

Let the female number of votes won by D be x.

Then, 250 + x = 450

⇒ x = 200

and Number of female votes won by B = 120

Now, required ratio = 200 : 120

⇒5:3

∴ The ratio of the number of female votes won by D to that won by B is 5 : 3.


131. Answer: c

Explanation:

Given:

Total votes cast = 1600

Votes

Candidates Total Votes

Male Female

A 345

B 120

D 250 450

C got 80 votes less than the total votes of A and the ratio of male and female votes
of C is 3: 1.

The female votes of B = 40% of the male votes of C.

Formula used:

Percentage = (favourable value/Base value) × 100

Calculation:
Let the male votes won by C be x.

Then, the female votes won by B = 40% of the male votes won by C

⇒ 120 = (40/100) × x

⇒ x = 120 × (5/2)

⇒ x = 300 male votes

So, the number of female votes won by C = (1/3) × 300

⇒ 100 female votes

Now, required difference = 250 – 100 = 150

Required percent = (150/250) × 100

⇒ (3/5) × 100

⇒ 60%

∴ The number of female votes won by C is 60% less than the number of male votes
won by D.

132. Answer: a

Explanation:

Given:

Total votes cast = 1600


Votes

Candidates Total Votes

Male Female

A 345

B 120

D 250 450

C got 80 votes less than the total votes of A and the ratio of male and female votes
of C is 3: 1.

The female votes of B = 40% of the male votes of C.

Calculation:

Let the male votes of C be x.

Then, the female votes won by B = 40% of the male votes won by C

⇒ 120 = (40/100) × x

⇒ x = 120 × (5/2)

⇒ x = 300 male votes

So, total votes won by C = [(3 + 1)/3] × 300

⇒ (4/3) × 300
⇒ 400 votes

Now, the total number of votes won by A = 400 + 80 = 480 votes

Number of female votes won by A = 480 – 345

⇒ 135 female votes.

∴ 135 female votes are won by A.

133. Answer: b

Explanation:

Given:

24, 23, 25, 22, 26, 22

Calculation:

The logic follows here is:

24 – 1 = 23

23 + 2 = 25

25 – 3 = 22

22 + 4 = 26

26 – 5 = 21 ≠ 22

There should be 21 instead of 22.

∴ 22 is the wrong term.

134. Answer: e
Explanation:

Given:

1, 8, 9, 64, 25, 36

Calculation:

The series follows the following pattern,

12=1

23=8

32=9

4 3 = 64

5 2 = 25

6 3 = 216≠ 36

Since 216 will come in place of 36,

∴ The required wrong number will be 36.

135. Answer: b

Explanation:

Given:

132, 156, 181, 210, 240, 272, 306

Calculation:

11 × 12 = 132
12 × 13 = 156

13 × 14 = 182 ≠ 181

14 × 15 = 210

15 × 16 = 240

16 × 17 = 272

17 × 18 = 306

∴ The wrong number is 181.

136. Answer: e

Explanation:

Given:

15, 50, 19, 46, 23, 42, 26, 38

Calculation:

The series follows the following pattern

∴ 26 is wrong and should be replaced by 27.

137. Answer: a

Explanation:
Given:

10, 14, 20, 32, 56, 104, 200

Calculation:

The series follows the following pattern

⇒ 11 + 3 = 14

⇒ 14 + 6 = 20

⇒ 20 + 12 = 32

⇒ 32 + 24 = 56

⇒ 56 + 48 = 104

⇒ 104 + 96 = 200

∴ 10 is wrong and should be replaced by 11.

Alternate Method

∴ 10 is wrong and should be replaced by 11.

138. Answer: c

Explanation:

Given:

The average salary of the staff of a tech company (a) = Rs. 2000
The average salary of the tech lead (b) = Rs. 5500

The average salary of the freshers (c) = Rs. 1200

No. of Tech leads (n) = 16

Formula Used:

Number of freshers = [n × (a – b)]/(c – a)

Calculation:

∴ according to the formula:

Number of freshers = [n × (a – b)]/(c – a)

⇒ [16 × (2000 – 5500)]/(1200 – 2000)

⇒ (16 × -3500)/-800

⇒ 2 × 35

⇒ 70

∴ The number of freshers in the company is 70.

Alternate Method

Let the number of freshers in the tech company be x.

∴ according to the question:

⇒ 1200x + (5500 × 16) = 2000 (16 + x)

⇒ 12x + (55 × 16) = 20 (16 + x)

⇒ 3x + (55 × 4) = 5 (16 + x)

⇒ 3x + 220 = 80 + 5x

⇒ 5x – 3x = 220 - 80
⇒ 2x = 140

⇒ x = 70

∴ The number of freshers in the company is 70.

139. Answer: d

Explanation:

Given:

24 pens sold at 25% profit

20 pens sold at 15% profit

Difference in profit if all were sold at 20% profit is Rs. 5.6

Formula:

Sp = (100 + x)% of Cp

Where,

Sp = Sell price

Cp = Cost price

x = Profit percent

Calculation:

Let the cost price of each pen be x

Total pens = 24 + 20 = 44

Total cost price = 44x

Cost price of 24 pens = 24x


Sell price of 24 pens = 125% of 24x = 30x

Cost price of other 20 pens = 20x

Sell price of the other 20 pens = 115% of 20x = 23x

Total sell price = 30x + 23x = 53x

Sell price if all were sold at a profit of 20% = 120% of 44x = 52.8x

Difference in profits = 53x – 52.8x = 0.2x

0.2x = 5.6

⇒ x = 5.6/0.2

⇒ x = 56/2

⇒ x = 28

∴ Cost price of each pen is Rs. 28

140. Answer: c

Explanation:

GIVEN:

Joe + Andy + 3 Mary = 79 yrs

Joe + Mary + 2 Andy = 61 yrs

Mary + 3 Andy + 3 Joe = 101 yrs

EXPLANATION:

Let the ages of Joe, Andy, and Mary be a, b, and c yrs respectively.

∴ a + b + 3c = 79 ----(1)
a + c + 2b = 61 ----(2)

c + 3b + 3a = 101 ----(3)

From (1),

a + b = 79 - 3c ----(4)

From (3),

c + 3(a + b) = 101 ----(5)

Put (a + b) from (4) in (5)

c + 3 (79 - 3c) = 101

c + 237 - 9c = 101

8c = 136

c = 17 yrs

∴ Mary's age is 17 years.

Explanation:

The correct answer is ‘100 percent’

Key Points

During the MPC meeting, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) hiked the limit of
individual loans extended by co-operative banks by 100%.

and UCBs, the RBI has also proposed to permit rural cooperative banks to
extend finance to ‘commercial real estate – residential housing’ (i.e. loans for
residential housing projects), within the existing aggregate housing finance limit
of 5% of their total assets.
The Tier I/Tier II Urban Co-operative Banks (UCB) limits will be changed
from ₹30 lakh/70 lakh to ₹60 lakh/140 lakh, respectively.
For Rural Cooperative Banks (RCBs) having an assessed net worth of less
than ₹100 crore, the restrictions will increase from ₹20 lakh to ₹50 lakh, and
from ₹30 lakh to ₹75 lakh for other RCBs.
This measure will further augment credit flows from the cooperative banks to
the housing sector.
It has also been decided to permit UCBs to extend doorstep banking services to
their customers to enable UCBs to meet the needs of their customers,
especially senior citizens and differently-abled.
Also, the policy repo rate was raised 50 basis points to 4.90 percent with
immediate effect.
The standing deposit facility (SDF) rate has been changed to 4.65
percent while the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate has been adjusted to
