Instructions [5 - 8 ]
Read the following passage carefully and answer the question given below it. Certain words or groups of each
word are given bold type to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
It is said there is a dismal fall of standards everywhere. The leaders who are not equal to the task misguide
their followers. The remedy of the malady that affects our political economic and social practices lies in the
human individual. What is needed is a change in his nature. For that we should read great classics. Literature
brings about the change for the better. It improves the quality of human beings. Great books give great
thoughts, broaden our outlook and awaken our souls. They also provide a moral base as the lack of discipline
and ideals is inimical to civilizes value.
There are various kinds of books. Some arouse or instruct while others elevate our nature. The first kind of
books destroy our ego and give us joy. Now joy is different from pleasure. The books which give joy contain
emotions and thoughts recollected in tranquility. Only a seer can produce such books. They deserve not only to
read but also to be digested. Through them we establish contract with the mastermind of the past. They hand
on to us our tradition. But maintaining a tradition does not mean peaking or doing as our forefathers did
following the tradition blindly will render dead and useless. We must make adaptations and bring
modifications. However, the individual contribution is largely determined by the pressure brought to bear up on
him by the new problems of the new age.
There are three clearly marked feature of the age in which we live. They are the scientific and technological
revolution, the liberation of dependent countries in Asia and Africa and the growing unity of the world: We
should read books which trace the history of the above mentioned three moments. The intellectual wealth of all
mankind is at our disposal, we should break the barriers of language. Books build bridge between cultures, that
is they bring them together. They promote understanding and love and remove suspicion, fear and hatred.
Great books come to our help when our values are at the discount many of us are mere shadows of human
beings. We are the victims of contradictory impulses, we are a bundle of fear suspicion, greed, jealousy as well
as kindliness and goodwill. For creating normal harmonious human society the former instincts should be
curbed and the latter kindled, we must guard against corrupting the minds of our people with trivialities. A
general spiritual awakening is essential.
5. What are the three chief features of our age according to our passage ?

A It is the age of scientific and technological revolution.
B Many countries in Asia and Africa have not freedom from dependence.
C A sense of unity is growing among the different countries of the world.
D All of these
E None of these
6. According to the passage, how can we keep our tradition alive ?
A We can do so only by following our forefathers blindly.
B It can be maintained only by making old traditions dead and useless.
C It can be achieved through a deep faith in old traditions.
We can keep them alive by making critical and creative changes in them according to demands of the
D
age.
E None of these
7. What is the main argument of the passage ?
A We should think in terms of the welfare of humanity as a whole.
B One should readgood books and do the work relevant to one’s own welfare.
C We should use scientific and technological know-how in terms of our welfare
D All of these
E None of these

A
have moral contentment and spiritual joy.
B If he reads great books only his psychological health will improve
C If he reads great books he will have only moral contentment and spiritual joy.
D Not given in the passage
E None of these
Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
In July, 1947 a UFO crashed in Roswell, New Mexico, and the government tried to cover it up by saying that it
was not a flying saucer but an experimental high-altitude surveillance balloon belonging to a classified program
named, "Mogul." However, many proponents of the UFO theory claim that a crashed alien aircraft and bodies

were recovered and that the military staged an elaborate cover-up because it was a threat to national security.
Now, 64 years later, the debate is still going on and the government is no more cooperative about revealing the
details than it was then.
Throughout the years, it has been shown time and again that information that was originally classified as
confidential because it was a threat to national security, remained classified many decades later even though
the crisis had long since passed and no threat remained. It has also been seen that anytime the government
needed an excuse for anything, they only had to say that the information was classified.
In the United States we have run into this kind of obfuscation time and again so when President Obama
announced to the world that we were going to have transparency in government, I was overjoyed. It meant that
we were finally going to see what went on behind the scenes with Congress. It meant that we could turn on C-
SPAN and be privy to the wheeling and dealing of our legislators as they bargained for earmarks.
This has had a so-so effect. Not much has changed. Enter WikiLeaks. At first I was thrilled at the prospect that
what I've wanted for years was finally happening. Hundreds of thousands of confidential papers were being
aired publicly. The bad guys were being excoriated in the press and the good guys were going to win the war of
public opinion and maybe even bring about some good governments. But it isn't turning out that way. There are
no clear-cut winners and losers and the head of WikiLeaks has had problems within his own ranks as well as
being in trouble with the law of several countries, ours included.
Understandably, the guys who have committed the worst offenses want him out of the way and everyone is
taking guesses as to how long he will remain alive before someone kills him. The people in OpenLeaks is doing
this a little differently; they are leaking the information to the media in bits and pieces and letting them take the
blame for the leaks, hence, presumably, no one's life is on the line while this classified information reaches the
public in a safer form of whistle-blowing.
I'm one of the people who has been in favor of what WikiLeaks and OpenLeaks are trying to do. I'm tired of all
this secrecy and I do want it to stop. And if that was all there was to it, I'd hitch my wagon to it and ride out the
storm of controversy.
But now it has taken a much more sinister turn. It is no longer about public officials misusing and abusing
power and corrupt and ruthless governments toppling; now it has come to the doorstep of the people; it has
come into the lives of all of us.
Hackers, in their rallying cry for transparency and no more secrets, have taken to hacking into the files of banks
and financial institutions. Millions of depositors have had their personal information, their identities, and their
lives stolen out from under them. People who stood behind the precepts of WikiLeaks and OpenLeaks are now
their victims. It's still not clearly understood whether these hackers are part of WikiLeaks and OpenLeaks or are
just hanging onto their coattails and operating on their own. It doesn't matter at this point whether they are
independent agents or working in unison with WikiLeaks or OpenLeaks. All that matters is that these people
who have had their personal information hijacked, had nothing to do with the secrecy in government nor the
corruption that ensued as a result.
These hackers have taken it a step too far and it's time for them to reassess their objectives and find a better
way to attain them without causing the rest of the world to come toppling down around them . . . Unless, of
course, that is their intent.
Connie H. Deutsch

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:
Globalisation is not a new phenomenon. It was there at the time of colonisation. In the nineteenth century when
European traders came to India, at that time too, Indian spices were exported to different countries of the world
and farmers of South India were encouraged to grow these crops. Till today, it is one of the important items of
export from India.
During the British period, cotton belts of India attracted the British and ultimately cotton was exported to Britain
as a raw material for their textile industries. Cotton textile industry in Manchester and Liverpool flourished due
to the availability of good quality cotton from India. You have read about the Champaran movement that started
in 1917 in Bihar. This was started because farmers of that region were forced to grow indigo on their land
because it was necessary for the textile industries that were located in Britain. They were unable to grow
foodgrains to sustain their families.
Under globalisation, particularly after 1990, the farmers in India have been exposed to new challenges. Despite
being an important producer of rice, cotton, rubber, tea, coffee, jute and spices, our agricultural products are not
able to compete with the developed countries because of the highly subsidised agriculture in those countries.
Today, Indian agriculture finds itself at the crossroads. To make agriculture successful and profitable, proper
thrust should be given to the improvement of the condition of marginal and small farmers. The green revolution
promised much. But today it’s under controversies. It is being alleged that it has caused land degradation due to
overuse of chemicals, drying aquifers and vanishing biodiversity. The keyword today is “gene revolution”, which
includes genetic engineering.
In fact, organic farming is much in vogue today because it is practised without factory-made chemicals such as
fertilisers and pesticides. Hence, it does not affect the environment in a negative manner.
A few economists think that Indian farmers have a bleak future if they continue growing foodgrains on the
holdings that grow smaller and smaller as the population rises. India’s rural population is about 600 million
which depends upon 250 million (approximate) hectares of agricultural land, an average of less than half a
hectare per person.

Indian farmers should diversify their cropping pattern from cereals to high-value crops. This will increase
incomes and reduce environmental degradation simultaneously. Because fruits, medicinal herbs, flowers,
vegetables, bio-diesel crops like jatropha and jojoba need much less irrigation than rice or sugarcane. India’s
diverse climate can be harnessed to grow a wide range of high-value crops.

Explanations
Language Skills
1. A
Pariah means an outcast, someone who has been rejected by society. For example, After India conducted its
first nuclear test in 1974 it become a pariah state. Or, The Guptas became social pariahs after Mr Gupta was
caught accepting a bribe.
2. B
We see a link between C-E-B where train stations are compared to travelling shows, E states not in the gaudy
detail and B continues that in the dusty and haphazard setting. Hence, CEB is one link. We also see a link
between D-C where the author states there are good reasons why stations do not look Tudor or Queen Anne but
wonders why they must look so temporary in C. Hence correct order is ADCEB.
3. A
Statement 1 introduces the topic stating that humans pretend to possess the knowledge that they do not, and it
can be seen in various streams.
Statement A should follow 1 because it is citing a stance of statement 1.
Statement C, 'Similarly' in this statement draws a similarity between A. AC will be a pair.
Statement D furthers the author view that humans pretend to possess the knowledge which they do not
possess.
Statement B should precede 2 as it starts with the point that "it is not amusing in itself" which is continued in 2
with "It becomes amusing". Hence, option A.
4. D
‘Boisterous’ means noisy and energetic. Hence, ‘reticent’, which means quiet, is the antonym.
5. D
"There are three clearly marked feature of the age in which we live. They are the scientific and technological
revolution, the liberation of dependent countries in Asia and Africa and the growing unity of the world: We
should read books which trace the history of the above mentioned three moments."
According to the above lines of the passage, all three of the options will follow. Hence, answer will be D
6. D
"The books which give joy contain emotions and thoughts recollected in tranquility. Only a seer can produce
such books. They deserve not only to read but also to be digested. Through them we establish contract with the
mastermind of the past. They hand on to us our tradition. But maintaining a tradition does not mean peaking or
doing as our forefathers did following the tradition blindly will render dead and useless. We must make
adaptations and bring modifications"
According to above lines of the passage, option D will be the most appropriate answer. Hence, answer will be D
7. A
"For creating normal harmonious human society the former instincts should be curbed and the latter kindled,
we must guard against corrupting the minds of our people with trivialities. A general spiritual awakening is
essential."
According to the last lines of the paragraph which come as the concluding statement of the passage, author
argues that one should improve himself/herself to make a normal harmonious society for the welfare of
humanity as a whole. Hence, answer will be A
8. A

"The remedy of the malady that affects our political economic and social practices lies in the human individual.
What is needed is a change in his nature. For that we should read great classics. Literature brings about the
change for the better. It improves the quality of human beings. Great books give great thoughts, broaden our
outlook and awaken our souls. They also provide a moral base as the lack of discipline and ideals is inimical to
civilizes value."
According to the above lines of the paragraph, among all the options, option A will be the most suitable answer
of them all. Hence, answer will be A
9. C
In the passage, the author talks about both Wikileaks and Openleaks and he is appreciative of the work done by
both. But, he feels that the methods used by Openleaks are better because they have not landed themselves in
trouble like Wikileaks. So, option c) is the best answer.
10. A
The meaning of ‘clear-cut’ is ‘explicit’ or ‘unambiguous’. From the options, the only suitable word is ‘precise’. All
the others are antonyms of the word.
11. B
Refer to the penultimate paragraph. The author says “Hackers, in their rallying cry for transparency and no more
secrets, have taken to hacking into the files of banks and financial institutions.” So, option b) is the correct
answer.
12. A
In the last two paragraphs, the author talks about how hackers are hacking into the bank accounts of people on
the pretext of exposing the corruption and secret operations of the Government. But, he says that they might as
well be independents who are operating on their own agenda. So, option a) is the best answer.
13. D
The correct word here will be ‘over’.
14. B
Provoked and fear best fit the meaning of the sentence as a whole.
15. A
Option A is the correct choice. According to the paragraph the politics in America is in a mess and the people
are not in a position to make correct political decision. Thus the political decisions should me made by the
political elitist i.e the people who can navigate through the American politics. Option A covers both these
points. Options B and E is irrelevant and option C and D have only partial summary.
16. B
Here, the sentence that follows the blank talks about an adaptation. The sentence in the blank must be the one
that describes this adaptation and give an introduction to this adaptation.
In option A, the statement starts with “In this way” and no way was described before it.
In option B, the author describe why this kind of adaptation is required.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
Option C is out of context and is unrelated to the paragraph.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
17. B

the number of the positive element. Hence, the verb should agree with the plural noun “members of the
society”. Thus the verb should be plural. Hence, option B.
18. B
Anemia is caused by the deficiency of Iron and Scurvy is caused by the deficiency of vitamin C. Hence option B
is the correct answer.
19. C
When we are talking about motion - jumping, leaping etc., the preposition to be used is one among onto, into,
over etc. The most suitable word from the given options is c) over.
20. D
Attribute has the same meaning as ascribe. Hence that's the synonym. Option (d) is the correct answer.
21. B
The structure of the sentence should be "to X as to Y", the structure of X and Y being the same. Hence, options
a), c), d) and e) are incorrect. The correct option is b).
22. D
Option A is mentioned in the last line of the third paragraph. Option B is mentioned in the second last paragraph
of the passage. Option C is mentioned in the fourth paragraph. The option D is stated nowhere in the passage,
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
23. B
From the first paragraph, it can be inferred that globalisation means trade between different countries. Thus, the
option that shows co-dependence or co-operation between different countries would be an example of
globalisation. Only option B shows an example of trade between different countries. Hence B is the correct
answer.
24. C
The author begins to talk about the green revolution in the fourth paragraph. He then goes on to talk about the
controversies associated with the green revolution. In the same paragraph he says that it is being alleged that
green revolution has lead to land degradation and loss of biodiversity. He refers to drying acquirers which
means drying up of the water bodies. In the subsequent paragraph author says how all this is damaging the
environment. Hence all A, B, D and E have been mentioned by the author as negative effect of green revolution.
Thus, C is the correct answer.
25. A
The word in the passage refers to small farm owners. Hence, the most appropriate word is minor.
26. A
Meticulous means showing great attention to detail. Only the word "meticulous" fits in the first blank.
The other words for the first do not make the sentence meaningful.
27. B
In options A and D, it should be “to watch the play” instead of “and watch the play”. In option C, it should be “has
been” in place of “is”. Hence option B is correct.
28. D

Statements B and 2 are linked and B should immediately precede 2. Hence, we can narrow our choice down to
CADB or ACDB. Of these two C and not A should follow statement 1. As statement 1 talks about great poets,
the next line cannot be about bad rhymes. Hence, the correct order is CADB.
29. C
Self-introspection is not a correct word. It should be self-examination or introspection. The second blank should
be filled with "achieved". So, option (c) is the correct choice.
30. E
As the modifier is “Weaving a web of words”, the subject on which this modifier can act on should follow the
phrase. As a person can weave a web of words, the subject is J.K. Rowling and not the magical world. Hence,
option E is the correct option. The remaining options have misplaced modifiers.
31. D
’A chip off the old block’ means that the person resembles his father in character. Therefore, option D is the
correct answer.
32. A
An umpire referees a match. Similarly, arbitrators referee disputes and arguments. Hence the correct option is
A.
33. B
We see a link between statement D and C where D states a phrase quoted by Mr Balfour and C states that it
was an unfortunate phrase to quote. Also, there is a link between E and A where both of the statements are
reasons why the quotation was unfortunate with A being the first reason and E being the second reason. Hence
D-C-A-E should be the together and in that order. Hence option B.
34. C
The sentence is talking about the punishment given to the culprits in which the word hanged should come while
using objects we use hung.
35. E
In the paragraph, the author criticizes England’s constitution. This is because he believes that the simpler a
thing is, the less liable it is to be disordered, and once disordered, the easier it is to fix it. However, England’s
constitution was created at a time when the world was overrun by tyranny and it was not a simple creation. So,
even though it served its purpose at that time, it is imperfect and subject to convulsions. Option E best
summarizes the paragraph.
36. D
Lambaste means to criticize someone severely. Hence, among the given options ‘praise’ is the most opposite in
meaning to Lambaste. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Draw the figure based on the given four statements.

We can see that the sets representing transparent and solid intersect. Hence, at least some transparent are
solid => Conclusion 1 is true.
There is no restriction with respect to white and glass. So, some glass my or may not be white. As it is not true
always, conclusion 2 cannot be made.
The set of pins is a subset of the set of white. Hence, at least some white are pins => Conclusion 3 is true.
There is no restriction between the set of pins and the set of solids. Hence, there may or may not be a pin that
is solid => Conclusion 4 is not true.
=> Option E is the answer.
39. A
From the first statement, it is clear that V>R>P and from the second statement it is clear that R>S>P.
So, the order is V>R>S>P. The last statement is inconsequential as Amit is younger than Sumeet. Hence, the
second eldest of them all is Raman.

49. C
Let's number the positions as below.
"If F and G exchange their positions, F would be sitting third to the right of D." ==> G is sitting third to the right of
D.
"H and G sit at the extreme ends of the line.", "G is sitting third to the right of D" ==> H, G, D occupy positions 1,
8, 5 respectively.
" D sits next to the right of A" ==> A occupy the position 4.
"If A, B exchange positions, B would be sitting third to the left of E." ==> A is sitting third to the left of E. ==> E
occupy position 7.
"B sits third to the left of C" ==> the only possibility is B, C sitting on positions 3, 6 respectively.
Based on the given information the below arrangement could be derived.
Based on the above derived arrangement, A is sitting third to the right of H.

So the correct option to choose is C - third to the right.
50. C
D.
8, 5 respectively.
occupy position 7.

Based on the above derived arrangement, F is sitting third to the left of D.
So the correct option to choose is C - third to the left.
51. B
D.
8, 5 respectively.
occupy position 7.
Based on the above derived arrangement, only H, F sit to the left of B.

So the correct option to choose is B - 2.
52. D
D.
8, 5 respectively.
occupy position 7.

Based on the above derived arrangement, if A, E exchange their positions, B would be sitting fourth to the left of
A.
So the correct option to choose is D - Fourth to the left.
53. D
Ram is fifth from the right end of the line. There are 8 persons standing in the line. Therefore, Ram must be
fourth from the left end. He must have 3 persons standing to his left.
3 persons are standing in between Ram and Balu. As only 3 persons are standing to Ram’s left, Balu must be
standing to the right of Ram. Therefore, Balu must be the last person standing in the line. The position of Balu
from the left end is 8. Therefore, option D is the right answer.
54. A
Based on the given information, the following diagram can be derived.
Distance between his home and office = 152 + 82 = 17 m.

56. C
Based on the Venn diagram, Conclusions 3 and 4 follow while 1 and 2 are not implied.

57. A
From the following diagram we can observe that no conclusion follows.
58. D
Consider the following case:
From this, we can observe that the conclusion “No pencil is a pen” need not follow.
Consider the following case:
From this we can observe that all pens are books. So, the conclusion “some pens are definitely not books” need
not follow.
59. C
As according to the statement both the course of action is correct as conditions of the roads must be improved
and even everyone must drive safely and attentively. Hence option c is correct.
60. E
From the given statements we can infer that all the members of the team should be good batsmen. Also the
criterion for a good batsman is that he should have scored a hundred till date. From this we understand that
both the conclusions follow.

Hence Option E.
61. E
The statement is specific to ODI’s but conclusion I makes a very general statement. Hence, I is not a valid
conclusion.
II is very vague and there is no information regarding the same. Hence, II is also not a valid conclusion.
Thus, option E is the correct answer.
62. D
The statement did not make any reference to the elections. Hence, a cannot be inferred. The statement refers to
the appointment of army chief only and not to any other appointment. Hence, neither b nor e can be inferred.
The commission’s response cannot be inferred from the information available. Hence, c cannot be inferred. It is
stated that the permission of the Commission is sought because the government wants to strictly follow the
procedure. This indicates that the Commission’s permission is part of the procedure to be followed in case of
this appointment. Hence, d can be inferred from the given statement. Choice d
63. D
The statement says that Children who don’t go to schools are more likely to become criminals. Hence it implies
that going to school reduces the chances of one becoming a criminal. Hence Option 4 is a valid inference.
Option 1 is an exaggeration while 2 and 3 are unrelated to the given statement.
64. D
A is incorrect as it is the rephrased version of the original sentence.
B states that most students participate in sports because they are poor in academics. But, it doesn’t imply that
one who participates in sports perform poorly in academics. Thus, this is incorrect. C also suffers a similar
flaw.
D, if true, suggests that sports adversely affects one’s academics. Thus, if one participates in sports, his
academics will be adversely affected leading to poor results. Thus, this strengthens the author’s claim.
65. D
The primary purpose of an educational institution is to impart education. Therefore, the point that addresses
this issue is the most likely to strengthen the cause.
Options B and E talk about symbolism. More women cannot be brought in just to represent an agenda. Option A
reduces the institute to a placement agency in essence. Therefore, we can eliminate options A, B and E.
Among options C and D, option D is considered more appropriate. Option C states that women admitted were
from an underprivileged background. However, uplifting the underprivileged is not the reason why the institute
took the step. The institute wants to promote diversity and option D talks about the benefits of promoting
diversity, thereby strengthening the cause. Therefore, option D is the right answer.
66. D
Here, the conclusion is that “The decrease in the adoption numbers is because of the simplification of the
adoption rules”.
Option A is strengthening the given conclusion as it also says that the adoption numbers of Australia have gone
up after the rules were made stringent.
Option B tells us that economic crisis can be a reason for the decrease in adoption numbers which contradicts
our conclusion to an extent.
Option C is also irrelevant as there is no relation given between the cases reported and the decrease in number
of adoptions.
Option E suggests us that the lack of publicity for the simplified rules can also be a reason for the decrease in

the number of adoptions. Hence, it also weakens the conclusion to an extent.
Option D states that the countries with simplified rules for adoption have better adoption numbers. Hence this
will most weaken our conclusion.
Hence, option D will most weaken the conclusion given in the statement.
67. C
If a lot of water bottles with old caps continue to be sold in the market, then the threat of pollution to landfills
will still be there. So, if the statement in option C is true, it most weakens the above argument.
Option A mentions about the air pollution while the given paragraph is concerned about pollution related to
landfills only. So, option A cannot be the answer.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.

The argument I present the reason why 1st Jan should be a holiday.
Argument II isn't strong enough to deny a holiday.
Option D is correct.
72. A
Argument I is strong as any form of tourism brings in money, employment and development in a nation.
Argument II is weak as not every doctor would be involved in medical tourism and therefore the general fees
demanded by professionals in the medical industry will not increase. Thus only argument I is strong.

Using both the statements together,
Let the three numbers be X,Y and Z.
So, X + Y + Z = 72
X 2 + Y 2 + Z 2 = 1746
So, XY + Y Z + XZ = (722 − 1746)/2 = 1719
X 3 + Y 3 + Z 3 = 42768
We know that X 3 + Y 3 + Z 3 − 3XY Z = (X + Y + Z)(X 2 + Y 2 + Z 2 − XY − Y Z − XZ)
So, 42768 − 3XY Z = 72 ∗ (1746 − 1719) = 1944
So, XY Z = 13608
So, we can answer the question using both the Statements together, but not by using any of the two statements
individually

75. C
Let the time taken in man hours to construct the building be X.
Let M, W and C be the working speeds of one man, one woman and one child.
Using Statement 1: 1M+5W+9C=X/52.
Using Statement 2: 4M+8W+12C=X/28.
Answer cannot be deduced from either equation alone.
Combining both the statements and subtracting 1 from 2, we get
3(1M+1W+1C)=X/28-X/52=3X/182.
Hence, time taken is 182 days.
So, we can answer the question using both the Statements together, but not by using any of the two statements
individually.

Let ABCD be the square.
Let E and F be the mid-points of AD and AB respectively. Let O be the centre of the square field.
Required area = Area of square AFOE + Are of quadrant OFB + Area of quadrant OED

The probability of the missile hitting the target in the first attempt = 0.8.
If the first missile misses, the second missile is fired.
So, the probability that the second missile hits the target = 0.2 ∗ 0.8.
The probability that one of the first two missiles will hit the target is 0.8 + 0.2 ∗ 0.8 = 0.96.
Similarly, if a third missile is fired, the probability that one of the first three missiles will hit the target is 0.96 +
0.2 ∗ 0.2 ∗ 0.8 = 0.992. When the fourth missile is fired, the probability becomes 0.992 + 0.23 ∗ 0.8 =
99.84%
Therefore, a minimum of 4 missiles have to be fired so that the probability of the target being hit is > 99.8%.

Sum of the ages of the employees in 2009 is 50*20 = 1000
Sum of the ages of the employees in 2011 after the 3 employees retired is 1000+(2011-2009)*20-180 = 860
Sum of the ages of the employees after the new employees are hired is 860+17+73 = 950
Sum of the ages of the employees in 2013 is 950+19 =969
So, average age is 51

Every member gives toast to every other person except him, and his two neighbours. Hence he gives toast to n-
3 people.
Total number of toasts = n(n-3). Now all the toasts will be repeated twice as the person who gives toast to, will
also give him a toast in this case. Hence we must divide it by 2.
n*(n-3)/2 = 54. So, n = 12

As the numbers are in AP and the sum is more than 150, the middle number will be greater than 50.
The average of the three numbers will be the middle number.
The square of 50 is 2500.
So the middle number can be the prime just greater than 50.
53 is the next prime.
59 is the next prime, and three times the square of 59 is more than 8600.
SO only 53 is the only possible middle number.

Let A be the speed of Ajay and V the speed of Vijay.
So, A = 150%V.
So, the relative speed of Ajay with respect to Vijay is V/2.
Time taken to run 400m at V/2 = 4 minutes.
2∗400
Hence, V = (4∗60) = 103 m/s.

Therefore A=5 m/s.

So, time taken by Ajay to run 2400m is 2400
5 = 480s = 8 mins.

If the amount left at start of 2014 is 10000 then Amount withdrawn in 2013=Amount accumulated over 2013 =
100X.
100X X
Hence, Amount withdrawn every year = 100X. So, Y = 10000+100X = 100+X<X
Alternate approach:
At the beginning of 2010, Ajay has 10,000. Let us take this as '10k' for ease of calculation.
Let y = (Y/100) where Y is the %value withdrawn every time.

At the end of 2010, Ajay has 10k (1 + 100
x
)
At the beginning of 2011, he has 10k (1 + 100

x
) − y (10k (1 + 100
x
))
This can be simplified as 10k (1 + 100x

) (1 − y )

x 2
At the end of 2011, he will have 10k (1 + 100 ) (1 − y)
x 2 2
Similarly, at the start of 2012, he will take 10k (1 + 100 ) (1 − y ) for his investment

x 3 2
and at the end, he will have 10k (1 + 100 )

(1 − y )
In the same way, at the start of 2013, he will take (1-y) times his previous value which means that by the end of
x 4
2013 10k (1 + 100 ) (1 − y )3
x 4
This means that at the start of 2014 he will have (1-y) times the previous value= 10k (1 + 100 ) (1 − y )4
It is mentioned in the question that this value is equal to 10k

On equating this, we get:
x 4 4
10k (1 + (1 − y ) = 10k
100 )

We can further simplify this to: (1 + 100

x
) (1 − y ) = 1

1
1 = (1−y) − 100x

On rearranging the terms, we get: y = x+100x

This value of y is definitely lower than x.

Hence we can deduce that x>y.

The first term of the series is S(1) = 16
Note that the series is an arithmetic progression from the second term onwards with (a=20 and d=8).
However, as the first term is 16, the entire series is not an AP (or GP or HP)

Let us assume that Ajay applied for only 5 jobs in A
Total number of job applications = 5/0.15 = 33.33 (this cannot be possible as it is not an integer)
Let us assume that he applied only 6 in Bangalore
Total number of job applications = 6/0.25 = 24
But the number of applications in Ahmedabad is not an Integer if the total is 24.
Let us assume that he applied only 4 in Calcutta
Total number of applications = 4 /0.2 = 20
But the number of shortlists will be greater than the number of applications in case of Ahmedabad in the case
of 20.
Let us assume that he applied only 5 in Delhi
Total number of applications = 5/0.4 = 12.5
The minimum number of applications should be a multiple of 20 or 24.
The minimum number of applications should be a multiple of the numbers 12.5,20,24,33.33
Among them, 40 is the least number that satisfies all the conditions.
Alternate :
Shortlisted Total
Ahmedabad 5 15x
Bangalore 6 25x
Calcutta 4 20x
Delhi 5 40x
20 100x
Total should be greater than or equal to shortlisted
15x >= 5 => x >= 0.33
25x >=6 => x>=0.24
20x>=4 => x>=0.2
40x>=5 => x>=0.125
Hence x should be greater than or equal to 0.33.
The nearest value of x such that 15x,25x,20x, 40x are integers is 0.4
Hence Minimum jobs applied = 100 x 0.4 = 40
102. B
Here, Ajay was shortlisted by 6 companies in Bangalore and that is 60% of his number of applications in
Bangalore.
The number of companies that he applied in Bangalore is 10 and total applications from all the cities will be 40.
103. C
If he got rejections from 40 companies, the total number of applications by him is 60.
The number of applications in Calcutta is 12.
Number of rejections from companies in Calcutta = 12- 4 = 8
104. C
The box named apples is either the oranges box or the mixture box. Similarly, Orange box is either apple box or
mixture box. Mixture box is either apples box or oranges box. Pick a fruit from the box named mixture. If the
fruit we pick is an apple, name the box apple. Rename the orange box as the mixture and the apples box as
oranges.

105. A
Let x be the initial volume of the solution. Hence, 5x/8 is the amount of milk and 3x/8 is the amount of water.
25% of x=2x/8 water is added.
Hence, the solution has 5x/8 milk and 5x/8 water now. Hence, the solution has equal parts of milk and water.
Removing 100 liters of solution and adding water is the same as removing 50 liters of milk and adding 50 liters
of water.
So,
(5x/8 -50)/(5x/8+50) = 3/7. So, x = 200
106. A
19991999 = (2000 − 1)1999. The last three digits of this will be the last three digits of 1999 C1 ∗ 2000 − 1

which is 999
107. D
We cannot infer the answer to this question as we do not know the cost price or selling price of both the
bicycles and hence cannot determine the overall percentage of profit.
108. D
From 45000 to 63000, the percentage increase is 40%.
From here on, percentage increase has increased by 50% everytime.
=> 2nd hike = 60%, 3rd hike = 90%, 4th hike = 135% and 5th hike = 202.5%
=> Final salary = 63000*1.6*1.9*2.35*3.025 = Rs 1361467.8
