2+4–6
5 + 9 – 14
Similarly,
3+5=8
K8

2. (d) (5 + 4 + 7) /2 = 8 (6 + 9 + 5)/2 = 10 (3 + 7 + 2)/ 2 = 6

3. (c) (12 + 18 + 30)10 = 6 (16 + 24+ 40) / 10 = 8

(Similarly, (45 + 18 + 27) / 10 = 9.
4. (c) (5 ×3) + 4 = 19 and (6 × 4) + 5 = 29 Therfore, (7 × 5) + 6
5. (a) (15 × 2 – 3) = 27, (31 × 2 – 6) = 56 and (45 × 2 – 9) = 81
 11

6. (b) (5 × 6 × 8) + (7 × 4 × 9) = 492 and (7 × 5 × 4) + (6 × 8 × 9) = 572

Therefore (4 × 3× 5) + 7 × 2 × 5) = 130
7. (d) (21 + 31 – 52 (and (39 + 46 =85
Therefore, 16 + 83 = 99,
8. (b) (18 × 12)/ 3 = 72 and (32 × 14) = 128
Therefore (24 × 14)/? = 112 (336/?) = 112 (336/112) = 3
9. (c) (0 + 2 + 6 + 4) – 2 = 10 and (6 + 2 + 10 + 8) – 2 =24
Therefore, (4 + 14 + 12 + 10) – 2 = 38.
10. (b) (a)3 = 1, (2)3 = 8, (3)3 = 27 Therefore, (4)3 = 64.
11. (d) Sum of number n lower half of the circle = 11 + 9 + 3 + 7 = 30
Sum of numbers n upper half of the circle = ? + 4 + 5 + 6 = ? + 15
Upper half – Lower half
30 = ? + 15 ? = 30 – 15 ? = 15.
Therefore, 15 s the answer
12. (b) 915 – 364 = 551
and 7899 – 543 = 246 S.U lary, 863 – 241
13. (c) 3 5 8 13 22 39

x2 - 1 x2 - 2 x2 - 3 x2 - 4 x2 - 5
14. (a) (12)2 – (8)2 = 80 and (16)2 – (7)2 = 207 Therefore (25)2 – (21)2 = 184
3 3 3 3 3 3
15. (d) (2) + (1) + (3) = 36 and (0) + (4) + (3) = 91
Therefore, (4)3 + (2)3 + (1)3 = 73
16. (a) (15 – 12) + (10 – 9) = 4 (28 – 12) + (16 – 20) = 1
Salary, (23 – 11) + (15 – 16) = 11

17. (a) The numbers are squared n ascend ng order in first circle
(3)2 = 9 (4)2= 16 (5)2 = 25 (6)2= 36
In second circle,
(4)2 = 16 (5)2 = 25 (6)2 = 36 (7)2 = 49
In thrd circle,
(6)2 = 36 (8)2 = 64 (9)2 = 81
18. (c) (4 × 6)  3 = 8 (6 × 10)  5 = 12 (4 × 8)  2 = 16
19. (b) (7 × 3) + 8 = 29 (4 × 3) + 7 = 19 (5 ×?) + 6 = 31 ?=5
20. (a) (4)2 + (2)2 + (1)2 =21 and (5)2 + (3)2 + (8)2 = 98
Therefore (6)2 + (7)2 + (3)2 = 94.

If takes 4 hrs from Delhi to Agra and 3 ½ hrs

from Agra to Delhi. At 8 A.M. when train B
starts from Agra, train, A has covered 100 km. 50 meters
Suppose the first train meets the second train
after covering x km from P and the second train
meets the first train after covering (100-x) km.
Speed of the first train = 50 km/hr and speed of
the second train = 400/7 km per hour.
x/50 = 7 (100 – x)/400
x = 46.67
Train A covers the distance of 46.67 km in
60/50 × 46.67 = 56 minutes

(d) 2 :00 pm – 4 : 00 Pm
Answer with Explanations
1. (a) 184381 4832878485 68784186
There are four such pairs which are followed by even number and preceded by odd number.
2. (c)

Hence, number 2 will be come in place of question mark.

3. (e) 2/23/234/2345/23456/234567/234567 8
Hence, next number in the given series will be 8.
4. (b) In the given series, there are six 9's followed by and preceded by number divisible by 2.
5. (b) Subtract 2 from odd digits in given number and add 3 in even digits

So, answer will be 2 because in new number there are two digit of five and two digit of seven.
6.(a) There are six such 5's as shown below
3 5 9 5 4  5 3 6 7 3  7  5 4  2 3  1 0
7. (c) The total number of girls = 11 + 11 – 1 = 22 – 1 = 21
8. (e) Total number of boys = (10 + 27 – 1) = 37 – 1 = 36) So, Rajan's position from the right = (36 – 10)
+ 1 = 26 + 1 = 27
9. (c) When two boys joined the number of ranks in class reduces by one to go from 45 to 44. Since, the
rank of the boy dropped by one it becomes 21th from 20th and it means that the boy who joined
were in front of him and one behind him, so his rank is 21th among 47 student, then his rank from
behind = 47 – 21 + 1 = 27th
10. (b) Total student in the class = 7 + 26 – 1 = 33 – 1 = 32
11. (d) when Rahul was shifted by three places towards his right side, then he occupies the middle
position, i.e. 13th position.

10th 13th
Thus, his original position from the left end of the row = 13 – 3 = 10th
12. (c)
5 3 1 4 6 8 7
1 3 4 5 6 7 8
Hence, two digits 3 and 6 will remain unchanged their positions.
13. (b)
Given number – 8 3 7 9 1 2
 20
Descending order – 9 8 7 3 2 1
Hence, only one number 7, digit position remain unchanged.
14. (b)
Twenty people Shifts
first Croup of 5 8 am to 4 pm
Second Group of 10 10 an to 4 pm
Third Group of 5 12 noon to 6 pm
Hence, timing 12 noon to 2 pm is commonly exist in all the shifts, so the computers are likely to
be used most this time.
15. (c) In first row, Veena is 12th from starting and 19th from end. Total number lof girls = (12 + 19 –1) =
30 In second row, sunita is 1 14th from starting and 2oth from the end. Then total number of girls
= (14 + 20 – 1) = 33
 Total number of girls = 30 + 33 = 63

(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
(e) Both A and R are false.

1. Assertion (A) : When lightning strikes, the sound is heard a little after the flash is seen.
Reason (R) : The velocity of light is greater than that of the sound.
2. Assertion (A) : A ship rises as it enters the sea from a river.
Reason (R) : The density of sea water is higher as compared to river water.
3. Assertion (A) : Indian President is the head of the State.
Reason (R) : Indian Parliament consists of the President, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
4. Assertion (A) : The pouring of kerosene oil on stagnant pools helps to eradicate malaria.
Reason (R) : The kerosene oil is poisonous for the mosquitoes.
5. Assertion (A) : Uranium undergoes nuclear fusion reaction.
Reason (R) : It has a big, unstable nucleus.
6. Assertion (A) : Petrol fire cannot be extinguished by pouring water over it.
Reason (R) : Water is heavier than petrol.
7. Assertion (A) : The British sovereignty continued to exist in free India.
Reason (R) : The British sovereign appointed the last Governor-General of free India.
8. Assertion (A) : Diamond is used for cutting glass.

9. Assertion (A) : The same side of the moon faces the earth at all times.
Reason (R) : Moon is the only natural satellite of Earth.
10. Assertion (A) : Sprouting should not be done before consuming the grains.
Reason (R) : Sprouting kills many vital vitamins.
ANSWER WITH EXPLANATION
1. (a) R provides the correct reason for A.
2. (a) Due to higher density of sea water, the upthrust produced by the sea water on the ship is
greater as compared to that produced by river water.
 21
3. (b) Both A and R are true. Indian President is the constitutional or titular heads of the executive,
the real power being vested in the Council of Ministers.
4. (c) The kerosene oil sprayed on the water provides a thin coating and the larvae of mosquitoes are
prevented from coming up to breathe. Thus, they die.
5. (d) Having a big, unstable nucleus, uranium undergoes nuclear fission reaction.
6. (a) Water, being heavier, slips down and petrol rises to the surface and continues to burn as
before. So, petrol fire is better extinguished by putting sand over it.
7. (d) India drafted its own Constitution and formed its own government after gaining independence.
So, A is false. But R is true.
8. (b) Diamond is hard due to its rigid three dimensional structure and so, it is used for cutting glass.
Refractive index of diamond is high and this gives it greater transparency and brilliance.
9. (b) 1
The Moon rotates on its axis once in 27 days and it also takes the same time to revolve
3
around the Earth. So, only one side of the Moon remains visible on Earti.
10. (e) Sprouted grains should be consumed because sprouting enhances the nutrient content of the
grains.

Conclusions : I. No cloth is a bag. II. All marbles are bags.
III. Some bag are clothes. IV. No marble is a cloth.
(a) Only either I or IV follows (b) Only either I or II follows
(c) None follows (d) Only either I or III follows
Answer With Explanation
1. (a) Since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must be universal affirmative.
However, conclusion II, being an A-type proposition, distributes the term 'goats'. Since the term
'goats' is distributed in II without being distributed in any of the premises, so conclusion II cannot
follow. Thus, only I follows.
2. (e) Since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must be universal affirmative
and should not contain the middle term. So, I follows. I is the converse of the second premise and
so it also holds.
3. (b) Since both the premises are universal and affirmative, the conclusion must be universal affirmative
and should not contain the middle term. So, it follows that 'All pens are houses'. II is the converse
of this conclusion and so it holds. Since the term 'houses' is distributed in I without being
distributed in any of the premises, so I does not follow.
4. (d) Since the middle term 'train's is not distributed even once in the premises, no definite conclusion
follows. However, III is the converse of the second premise while IV is the converse of the first
premise. So, both of them hold.
5. (a) Since one premise is particular, the conclusion must be particular and should not contain the
middle term. So, it follows that 'Some bottles are cups'. Thus I follows. It is the converse of the
second premise and so it also holds.
6. (c) Since one premise is particular and the other negative, the conclusion must be particular negative
and should not contain the middle term. Thus, III follows. I is the converse of the first premise and
so it also holds.
7. (d) Since both the premises are particular, no definite conclusion follows. However, I and III involve
only the extreme terms and form a complementary pair. Thus, either I or III follows.

5. (e) To educate all children, enforcement of education is necessary. Thus both the courses follow.
6. (b) The present finance minister shall know better all the plans and resources of the government and
he alone can present a suitable budget. So course II should be followed.
7. (e) For quick disposal of cases, either the matters in the court should be speeded up or the matters
should be cleared up in their respective departments to prevent the delay. So both the courses
follow.
8. (e) Both warning and future prevention are necessary. So both the courses follow.
9. (e) The footpaths are meant for an entirely different purpose. So, they need to be kept empty. For
this, police help has to be sought. Also the vendors cannot be deprived of a living. So, both the
coursed follow.
10. (a) A study of rival products in the market will help assess the cause for the lowering down of the
prices and then a suitable action will be taken. So only I follow.

Cause and Effect Reasoning

When examining events, People naturally seek to explain why things happened. This search often results
in cause and effect reasoning.
Basically, causality occurs when one event is said to make another occur. The cause is the event that
makes the other occurs; the effect is the event that follows from the cause. Thus, the cause must occur
before the effect and the effect always happens at some point of time after the cause.
The questions on cause and effect reasoning are mainly designed to decide on a candidate's ability to
analyses a pair of given statements and to correlate them in terms of cause and effect. Five possibilities
may arise:
I. The fact in the first statement is the effect of that mentioned in the second statement i.e. the second
statement expresses the case that leads to the condition mentioned in the first;
II. The contents of the first statement from the direct cause of the result discussed in the second
statement;
III. Both the statements express generalized results that may not be backed by any specific cause but
may influence certain other factors;
IV. Both the statements are independent and may be explained as effects of different independent
causes;
 25
V. The effect in both the given statements may be caused or triggered by a third unmentioned event
following examples will make the idea clear.
Directions: In each of the following questions, two statements numbered I and II are given. There may be
cause and effect relationship between the two state3ments. These two statements may be the effect of the
same cause or independent causes. These statements in each question and mark your answer accordingly.
Give answer (a) if statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect;
Give answer (b) if statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect;
Give answer (c) if both the statement I and II are independent causes;
Give answer (d) if both the statement I and II are effect of independent causes;

Venn Diagram
In these type of questions, a set of five different figures is given as options. Each figure represents a logical
pattern of certain groups of related words wherein each word represents a class. One has to identikit the most
appropriate logical figure for the set of words given. Some of the relationship represented by these diagrams
are given blew. Understand the relationship patterns and then attempt the exercise following the explanation.
1. The given classes have nothing in common. Milk Eggs
Example : Milk, Eggs.
2. The given classes have something in common, but Colour Red
neither of them is completely contained in the other.
Example: Colour, Red
 53
3. Of the two given classes, one is wholly contained in
Fruits
the other, but not vice-versa.
Example: Fruits, Apples Apples

4. Same logic as figure 2.

also have something in common though neither class
is wholly.
Example : Mother, Sisters, Females Sisters
Mothers

8. The first class is contained wholly in the other two Grammar

classes, but not vice- versa. The second is wholly
contained in the third and partially in the first. A part Preposition
of third class is contained in the which some is
contained in the first. From
Example: Preposition, from, Grammar.

9. First class is wholly contained in the second and not Sweet

vice-versa. The third class is partially contained in
the other two classes. sugar

Answer with Explanation
 86
1.(d) (4 + 5 + 2) – (1 + 6 + 3) = 1, not divisible by 11
(2 + 6 + 4) – (4 + 5 + 2) = 1, not divisible by 11.
( 4 + 6 + 1) – (2 + 5 + 3) = 1, not dividable by 11.
(4 + 6 + 1) – (2 + 5 + 4) = 0, So, 415624 is divisible by 11.
2. (b) Required numbers are 102, 108,114, ....., 996
This is an A.P. in which a = 102, d =6 and l = 996.
Let the number of terms be n. Then,

a + (n – 1) d = 996  102 + (n – 1) × 6 = 996.

 6 × (n – 1) = 894  (n – 1) = 149  n = 150.
Required number of terms = 150
3.(a) Let Sn = (1 + 2 + 3 + ........ + 45). This is an A.P. in which a = 1, d = 1, n = 45.
× [ 2 × 1 + (45 – 1) × 1 ] =  × 46 = (45 ×23)
n 45 45
Sn = [2a + (n – 1) d] =
2 2 2 
= 45 × (20 + 3) = (45 × 20 + 45 ×3) = (900 + 135) = 1035.
4.(c) Let Sn = (2 + 4 + 6 + ..... + 30). This is an A.P. in which a = 2, d = 2, and l = 30. Let the number of
terms be n. Then,
a + (n – 1) d = 30  2 + (n – 1) × 2 = 30  n = 15.
n 15
 Sn = (a + 1) = × (2 + 30) = (15 × 16) = 240.
2 2
5.(d) Sn = (1 + 2 + 3 + ..... + 50 + 51 + 52 + .... + 100) – (1 + 2 + 3 + .... + 50)
100 50
= × (1 + 100) – × (1 + 50) = (50 × 101) – (25 × 51) = (5050 – 1275) = 3775.
2 2
6. (c) The smallest prime number is 2.
7. (d) Required sum = (2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11) = 28.
8. (b) Prime numbers less than 50 are :
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47 Their number is 15.
9. (d) Clearly, 97 is a prime number.

Answer with Explanation
1. (a) Let the required numbers be 33a and 33b.Then, 33a + 33b = 528  a + b = 16.
Now, co–primes with sum 16 are (1, 15), (3, 13), (5,11) and (7, 9).
 Required numbers are (33 ×1, 33 × 15), (33 × 3, 33 × 13), (33 × 5, 33 × 11), (33 × 7, 33 × 9).
The number of such pairs is 4.
2. (b) Numbers with H.C.F. 15 must contain 15 as a factor.
Now, multiples of 15 between 40 and 100 are 45, 60, 75 and 90.
 Number– pairs with H.C.F. 15 are (45, 60), (45, 75), (60, 75) and 75, 90).
[ H.C.F. of (60, 90) is 30 and that of (45, 90) is 45]
Clearly, there are 4 such pairs.
3.(d) Out of the given numbers, the two with H.C.F. 12 and difference 12 are 84 and 96.
4.(c) Let the numbers be 37a and 37b. Then, 37a × 37b = 4107  ab = 3.
Now, co–primes with product 3 are (1,3).
So, the required numbers are (37 × 1, 37 × 3) i.e. (1.111).
 Greater number = 111.
5.(b) Let the numbers be 13a and 13b. Then, 13a ×13b = 2028  ab = 12.
Now, co–primes with product 12 are (1, 12) and (3, 4).
So, the required numbers are (13 × 1, 13 × 12) and (13 × 3, 13 × 4).
Clearly, there are 2 such pairs.
6.(c) Since the numbers are co– prime, they contain only 1 as the common factor.
Also, the given two products have the middle numbers in common
So, middle number = H.C.F. of 551 and 1073 = 29;
So, middle number = 
551 1073
 29  = 19: Third number =  29  = 37.
 Required sum = (19 + 29 + 37) = 85.
7.(c) Let the numbers be 2x and 3x.Then, their L.C. M. = 6x. So, 6x = 48 or x = 8.
 The numbers are 16 and 24.
Hence, required sum = (16 + 24) = 40.
8.(a) Let the numbers be 3x, 4x and 5x. Then, their L.C.M. = 60x. So, 60x = 2400 or x =40.
 The numbers are (3 × 40), (4 ×40) and (5 × 40).
Hence, required H.C.F. = 40.
9.(c) Other number = 
11 × 7700
 275  = 308.
10.(c) Let the numbers be x and (2000 – x). Then their L.C.M. = x (2000 – x).
So, x (2000 – x) = 21879  x2 – 2000x + 21879 = 0
 (x – 1989) (x – 11) = 0  x = 1989 or x = 11.
Hence, the numbers are 1989 and 11.
11.(c) Let the numbers be x and 4x. Then, x × 4x = 84 × 21  x2 = 
84 × 21
 4   x = 21.
Hence, larger number = 4x = 84.
 89
12. (a) Let the numbers be x and (100 – x).
Then, x (100 – x) = 5 × 495  x2 – 100x + 2475 = 0
 (x – 55) (x – 45) = 0  x = 55 or x = 45.
 The numbers are 45 and 55.
Required difference is (55 – 45) = 10
13.(b) Let the numbers be x and (x + 2) .
Then, x (x + 2) = 24  x2 + 2x – 24 = 0  (x – 4) (x + 6) = 0  x = 4.
So, the numbers are 4 and 6.
14.(c) Let the numbers be a and b. Then, a + b = 55 and ab = 5 × 120 = 600.
1 1 a+b 55 11
 Required sum = + = = =
a b ab 600 120
15. (c) Let H.C.F. be h and L.C.M. be l. Then, l = 45 h and l + h = 1150.
 45h + h = 1150 or h = 25. So, l = (1150 – 25) = 1125.
Hence. other number = 
25 × 1125
 125  = 225.
16. (c) First number = (50 × 2) = 100. Second number = 
50 × 250
 100  = 125.

9. (c) By moving clockwise, we follow the following patter:
6×1=6 6 × 2 = 12
12 × 3 = 36 36 × 4 = 144
144 × 5 – 720 720 × 6 = 4320
4320 × 7 = 30240
10. (c) We have
8 × 9 × 5 360
= = = 90
4 4
7 × 6 × 4 48
= = = 42
4 4
2 × 3 × 8 48

11. (b) 37 + 23 60
= = 10
6 6
59 + 13 72
= = 12
6 6
23 + 25 48
= =8
6 6
12. (e) (5 × 18) – (7 × 12) = (90 – 84) = 6
(16 × 17) – (20 × 12) = (272 – 240) = 32
(23 × 14) – (22 × 12) = (322 – 264) = 58
13. (b) (25 + 23) – (14 + 17) = (48 – 31) = 17
(33 + 41) – (41 + 22) = (74 – 63) = 11
(58 + 31) – (8 + 9) = (89 – 17) = 72
14. (a) In first column: (7 × 3) – 3 = (21 – 3) = 18
In second column: (5 × 9) – 4 = (45 – 4) = 41
So missing number = (8 × 7) – 6 = (56 – 6) = 50
15. (c) (4 × 10) – (2 × 8) = (40 – 16) = 24
(4 × 6) – (5 × 7) = (24 – 35) = –11
(9 × 11) – (6 × 8) = (99 – 48) = 51
16. (c) Adding a number i.e., increased by 2 to the previous number
(i) 189, 224 + 34 = 223, 223 + 36 = 259
259 + 38 = 297
(ii) 136 + 44 = 180, 180 + 46 = 226
226 + 48 = 274
(iii) 105 + 24 = 129, 129 + 26 = 155
155 + 28 = 183
17. (d) Moving clockwise
(33) – 2 (27 – 2) = 25
(43) – 2 (64 – 2) = 62
(53) – 2 (125 – 2) = 123
(63) – 2 (216 – 2) = 214
18. (b) Moving clockwise
3×3–2=7
7 × 3 – 2 = 19
19 × 3 – 2 = 55
55 × 3 – 2 = 163
163 × 3 – 2 = 487
487 × 3 – 2 = 1459
19. (b) (17 × 3) – (14 × 3)
(51 – 42) = 9
So the missing number is 9.
20. (b) Moving clockwise
9 + (23) = 9 + 4 = 13
10 + (32) = 10 + 9 = 19
11 + (42) = 11 + 16 = 27
12 + (52) = 12 + 25 = 37
 118
13 + (62) = 13 + 36 = 49
14 + (72) = 14 + 49 = 63
21. (c) (i) In three columns numbers and alphabets are given according to these position in column (i) we
add 5 and 11 = 16
So, alphabet in 16th position is P' 16 P
Similarly in column (II)
Similarly in column (III) 7 + 12 = 19
Alphabet in 19th position is S
Hence 19 S
22. (d) Position of X and N is 24 and 14 respectively by subtracting 24 – 14 = 10
Similarly, O and J, 15 – 10 = 5
Similarly, position of W and M is 23 and 13, so by subtracting 23 – 13 = 10 respectively
Hence answer is 10
23. (b) (6 × 2) + (4 × 3) = 12 + 12 = 24
(5 × 1) + (2 × 8) = 5 + 16 = 21
(4 × 2) + (2 × x) = 8 + 2x = 12
2x = 4
x=2

(c) Shriram 30. Sreeddevi 24 (d) Shriram 40, Sreedevi 34
Answer with Explanations
1. (c) Let age of son = x yr
Then, the age of father = 3x yr
Now, 3x + x = 48
4x = 48
x = 12
 Age of father = 3 × 12 = 36 yr
2. (d) Let age of Nikhil = x yr Then, age of Than = (x + 8) yr
According to the question, x + 8 = 2x
x=8
 Age of Rohan = 8 + 8 = 16 yr
3. (c) Let age of Arvind = x yr
According to the question,
(4x – 5) = 7 (x – 5)  4x – 5 = 7x – 35
 3x = 30  x = 10 yr
 Arvind's father's present age = 4 × 10 = 40 yr
4. (d) Let age of Rahim = x yr and age of Radim's uncle = y yr
According to the question,
y – x = 30
Now, after 7 yr (x + 7) + (y + y) = 66
x + y + 14 = 66
x +y = 52
On adding Eqs (i) and (ii) we get
2y = 82  y = 41 yr
So, the age of Rahim's uncle = 41 yr
5. (c) According to the question,
P + Q – 5 = 15  P + Q m= 20
 2  2
P+Q+R
P + Q = 40 and = 20
3
P + Q + R = 60
From Eqs. (i) and (ii)
R = 20 yr
 Age of R after 10 yr from now = 20 + 10 = 30 yr
6. (c) Let person's mother present age = x
2
 Person's present age = x yr
5
According to the question, After 8 yr,
(x + 8) =  + 8
1 2x
2 5 
 133
x+8 2x + 40
= =
2 5
or, 5x + 40 = 4x + 80 , x = 40 yr
 Present age of present's mother = 40 yr
7. (d) Suppose Rajendra's age = x yr
and Devrdra's age = (x + 4) yr
Then, (x + 4) + 16 = 3 (x + 4)
x + 20 = 3x + 12
2x = 8  x = 4 yr
 Rajendra's age after 16 yr = x + 16 = 4 + 16 = 20 yr
8. (c) Letpresent age of Tarun = 27 yr
 Age of Tarun, 2 back = 27 – 2 = 25 yr
So, the cube of 4, next number to 3 is 64
 Required answer = 64 – 27 = 37 yr
9. (c) Let age of Rajan = x yr and age of his father = y yr According to the question,
x + 20 = y
Now, 5 yr ago 3 (x – 5) = (y – 5)
 3x - 15 = y – 5
 3x – y = 10 ......... (ii)
Ob putting the value of y from Eq. (i) Eq. (ii), we get
2x = 30
x = 15 yr
On pitting the value of x in Eq. (i), we get y = 35 yr
So, the age of Ragan's father = 35 yr
10. (b) Let present age of Shriram = x yr and present age of Sreedevi = y yr It was the 12th wedding
anniversary of them Then, according to the question. their age of twelve year back,
3
(x – 12) = y – 12
4
3x
= – 9 = y – 12
4
3x
= – y=–3
4
= 3x – 4y = – 12 ........... (i)
Now, their present age,
5x
= y  5x = 6y
6
5x – 6y = 0 ....... (ii)
On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
x = 36, y = 30
Hence, present age of Shiram = 36 yr and present age of Sreedevi = 30 yr

Blood Relationships

Jayant and Adity are brothers. If Aditya is
Bhavi's brother. If Bharat is Jayant's
Father of the man's wife's daughter is the
Father then Jayant is also father, then he is
man himself and the boy in question is the
also the father of Aditya and Bhavi. If Ella
man's son.
is Bhavi's mother, then she is also mother
of Aditya and Jayant. This means Bharat
and Ella are husband and wife and the
parents of three.
9. (c) The relationship chart based on the 10. (a) Varun (sister)
(only brother)

(sister) himself and Arun is his son.
When D is sister of E, who is son of A
then D is daughter of A. Brother of A is B
and so, B is D's uncle.

Clock and Calendar

Clock and calendar are the basic instruments that are being used to measure time in different units.
Clock
A clock is a circular/square shaped instrument used to
view/measure time in hours, minutes and seconds.
Measurement of times is an important aspect of out
daily life. It helps us to prepare our schedule and
work in an orderly manner. There are, mainly, four
important parts of a clock – Dial, Hour hand, Minute
hand and Second hand,

The Dial
The dial of a clock is circular one, whose circumference is divided into 12 parts (12 equal big divisilons)
labeled as 1, 2, 3, 4, ........ and 12. The space between every pair of two numbers is divided in 5 equal small
divisions.
Thus, the dial is divided into 60 small divisions. The clock has two hands. one is longer (minute hand) and
another is shorter is shorter (hour hand).
Minute hand
 137
The longer hand of the clock is known as minute hand. The minute hand moves from one small division to
the next small division in 1 min.
The minute hand goes once round the dial in 1 h. Thus, the minute hand covers 60 small division in 1 h.

60 min = An hour
30min = Half an hour
15 min = Quarter of an hour

Hour hand
The shorter hand of the clock is known as hour hand. The hour hand moves from one number to the next
number in 1 h. The hour hand takes 12 h to complete one round. Also, it takes 2 full rounds of the clock an a
day. Its movement is also in a clockwise direction.
1 day = 24 h
Second hand we may come across some clocks or watches which have three hands. The third hand which is
very thin and is called the second hand.
The second's hand makes full round in 1 min and the time in which it moves between two successive small
divisions is called 1 sec.
60 s = 1 min
Use of AM and PM
When both the hands of a clock are at 12. The time is 12 )' clock. It may be in noon or at midnight. If it is in
the noon, we say that the time is 12 noon. If it is at midnight, we say that the time is 12 midnight.
A day begins at 12 midnight and ends at 12 midnight on the next day. Time between 12 midnight and 12 noon
is denoted by AM, where AM stands for Ante- Meridian.
Thus, 4 AM refers to 4 o'clock in the morning. Time between 12 noon and 12 midnight is denoted by PM.
where PM stands for post-Meridian. Thus, 4 PM refers to 4 o'clock in the evening.
Types of Clocks
We generally use 12 h clocks. The face of these clocks is marked with numbers from 1 to 12 and the hour
hand of the clock goes round the dial (face) twice a day (in 24 h).
But Raiways, lines tine tables, Air lines time tables, shipping lines, Defance forces and Television networks,
etc do not use 12 h clock time. Instead they use 24 h clock time. Digital watches also show 24 h clock time.
A 24 h clock dial may be visualised as the one given below.
18 . 28
The use of 24 h clock time is very useful. time is expressed by four digits. The first two digits on the left
denote hours while the right two digits denote minutes. The day stares at 12 midnight and is written as
00000h. Hance, the time in this clock type of is expressed as 12 o'clock midnight is written as 2400 h or 0000
h.

3: 00 am is written as 0300 h.
11:00 am written as 1100h.
2 : 00 pm is written as 1400 h.
Fast and slow
If a watch or a clock indicates 6 :15, when the correct time is 6, it is said to be 15 min fast. On the other
hand, if it indicates 5 :45, when the correct time is 6, it is said to be 15 min slow.
 138
Important Points
 in 60 min, the minute hand gains 55 min on the hour hand
 In every hour, both the hands coincide once.
 The hands are in the same straight line when they are coincident or opposite to each other.
 When the two hands are at right angles (90°) they are 15 min space apart.
 When the hands are in opposite directions, they are 30 min space apart.
 Angle traced by hour hand in 12 h = 360°
 Angle traced by minute hand in 60 min = 360°
 Both hands of a clock occurs at right angle twice in one hour, 22 times in 12 h hand 44 times in 24 h.
 Both hands of a clock occurs in a straight line or are opposite once in one hour, 11 times in 12 h hand
22 times in24 h,
E.g.
At what angle the hands of a clock are inclined at 15 min past 5?
1° 1° 1°
(a) 72 (b) 67 (c) 58 (d) 64°
2 2 2
Solution: (b) At 15 min past 5, the minute hand is at 3 and hour and slightly ahead of 5.
Now, angle through which hour shifts in 15 min = 15 ×  = 7
1 ° 1°
 2 2
 Angle at 15 min past 5 = 60 + 7  = 67
1 ° 1°
 2 2
E.g.
A clock is set right at 8 am. The clock gain 10 min in 24 h. What will be the right time when the clock
indicates 1 pm on the following day?
(a) 11 : 40 Pm (b)12 : 48 pm (c) 12 pm (d) 10 pm
Solution: (b) time from 8 am of a particular day to 1 pm on the following day = 29 h.
Now the clock 10 min in 24 h, it means that 24 h. 10 min of this clock is equal to this clock equal to
24 h of the correct clock.
145
h of this clock = 24 h of the correct clock.
6
24
29 h of this clock = × 6 × 29 = 28 h, 48 min of correct clock
145
29 h of this clock = 28 h 48 min of the correct clock It means that the clock in question is 12 min
faster than the correct clock. Therefore, when clock indicates 1 pm the correct time will be 48
min past 12.
Calendar
The record of all the days of the year is given in the calendar. It shows
the months, weeks and days in the year.
Week days There are seven days in a week. A week starts with
Monday and ends at Sunday. After which again comes Monday. The
same cycle foes on and on.

Month of the year We know that, there are 12 months in a year. The
months of the year with the number of days in that month are given
below
 139

Name of the months Number of days Name of the months Number of days
1. January 31 7. July 31
2. February 28 or 29 8. August 31
3. March 31 9. September 30
4. April 30 10. October 31
5. May 31 11. November 30
6. June 30 12. December 31

February of an ordinary year has 28 days. There are 365 days in an ordinary year.
Thus, 1 ordinary year = 365 days = 52 weeks and 1 day. February of a leap year has 29 days, so, there are
366 days in a leap year. Thus 1 leap year = 366 days = 52 weeks and days. A leap year comes after every 4 yr.
Century A block of 100 yr is called a century. A century has, thus a total of 100 yr. Thus each one of the years
1100, 1800, 2000, 2100 is a century.
Lap year, The year other than a century divisible by 4 as well as by 400 is called a leap year.
Thus, each one of the years, 1600, 1996, 2000, 20004, 2008 is leap year and none of the years 1867, 1993,
1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2007 is a leap year/
ordinary year The year which is not a leap year is called an ordinary year. Thus, each one of the years 1781,
1891, 1995, 1999, 2013 is an ordinary year.
Important Points
 A leap year has 52 weeks and 2 days.
 An ordinary year has 52 weeks and 1 day. A year has 52 full weeks.
Odd Days In a given period, the number of days more than the complete weeks are called odd
 days. Also when total number of days divided by 7 remainder called odd days.
 1 ordinary year = 365 days = (52 weeks + 1 day)
 1 leap year = 366 days = (52 weeks + 2 days) 100 yr = 76 ordinary years + 24 leap years = )76 × 1 +
24 × 2) odd days = 124 Odd days = (17 weeks + 5 days) = 5 odd days.
 Number of odd days in 100 yr = Number of odd days in 200 yr = (5 × 2) = 10 = (7 + 3) = 3 odd days.
 The first day of century cannot be Wednesday, Friday and Sunday
 The last day of century cannot be Tuesday and Saturday.

 141
Answer with Explanations
1. (b)

360 × 2.5
Angle = = 75°
12
2. (b) Anuj reached the place of meeting at 8:15 h, he reached 30 min earlier than the man who was 40
min late. i.e. he reached 10 min late. Hence the scheduled time of the meeting was 8: 05 h.
12 (12 + 1)
3. (c) Number of buzzes in a day = × 2 = 156
2
4. (c) IN 12h, they are at right angles, 22 times. So, in 24 h, they are at right angles, 44 times.
5. (b) From the properties of the clock, we know hour but between 11 O'clock and 1 O'clock, they coincide
only once. Therefore, the hands of a clock coincide 11 times in every 12 h.
Hence , they will coincide (11 × 2) = 22 times in 24 h.
89h. of this clock = 90 h of the correct clock Therefore, it is clear that in 89 h this clock loses 1h and
hence, the correct time is 11:00pm when this clock shows 10:00pm.
6. (d) The hands of a clock point towards each other 11 times in every 12 h (because between 5 and 7, they
point towards each other only once at 6 O'clock).
Therefore in a day the hands points 22 times in all, towards each other.
363
7. (d) Here, = 51 weeks + 6 days
7
8. (b) Each day of the is reputed after 7 days. So, after 63 days, it will be Monday After 61 days, it will
be Saturday.
9. (a) The centre divisible by 400 is a leap year. The year 707 in not a leap year.
10. (c) Everyday of the weeks is repeated after 7 days. Hence it will be Wednesday after 84 days.
11. (a) Everyday of the week is reputed after 7 days. Hence, after 56 days, it would be Thursday again and
after 59 day 's, it would be Sunday.
12. (c) The last day to century cannot be either Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday.
13. (d) Three days after Saturday is Tuesday and Tuesday is a day before a day before yesterday So,
yesterday is Thursday.
Hence, today is Friday.
14. (a) Total number of days from January 1 to March 1
= 31 + 29 + 1
= 61 days
(February in leap years = 29 days) = 61  7
= 8 weeks and 5 odd days
So, the fifth day from Friday = Tuesday
15. (a) Friday will fall on 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 So, it will be 5 th Friday on 31st
16. (d) Next bus will leave at 9:35am. So, enquiry clerk gave the information to the passenger at = (9: 05 + 0
:10) = 9:15am
 142
17. (a) Total number of odd days
30 September, 1997 – 98 = 1
30 September, 1998 – 99 = 1
30 September, 1999 – 2000 = 2
30 September, 2000 – 01 = 1
30 September, 2001 – 02 = 1
1
30 September, 2002 – 03 =
7
 Tuesday + 7 = Tuesday
So, The next Tuesday will come on the Mrs sunshield's wedding anniversary in 3oth September,
2003
18. (a) 26 January, 1996 to 15 August, 2000 days were = 1663
1663 having odd day = 4
 in the year 2000, Independence day
= Friday + 4 = Tuesday
19. (c) 18th February, 1997 is Tuesday. So17th February 1998 will also be Tuesday. Again 16 th February,
1999 with also be Tuesday.
Hence, 18th February, 1999 will be Thursday.
20. (a) Mohan was born on 31st July. August 15 falls on Monday.

Explanation
1. Taxes = 0.12 × 3200 = ?= 384
2. Central Angle = 0.15 × 360° = 54°
3. ( 0.15 + 0.12 + 0.08 ) × 360° = 0.35° × 360° = 126°

Since the pie- charts indicates that twice as much ( 58.6% ) is invested in mortgages as in invested in
bonds ( 28.3%) .
5. (58.6%) of 360° – ( 0.586 ) ( 360) = 210.9°
6. Cash on hand = 3.9%
Money invested in stocks = 5.2%
5.2% = A ( 3.9% )
5.2% = 11/3= 133.3%
7. Total assets = 57.6 million = and 3% of total assets = 1.728 million in "other assets" so 4.8% of 1.7 –
28 million = ?= 82944.
8. in 1986 , social security and insurance are 9% of 10.4 lakhs, or about 0.9 lakhs . in 1996, they were
7.3% of 103.2 lakhs or about 47.5 lakhs. The increased is the difference aboput ?= 6 lakhs.
9. First was in 1986, was 35.5 % of 10.4 lakhs or about ?= 3.7 lakhs and in 1996, they were 45.2% of ?=
46.6 lakhs. The total increase was about 43 lakhs. General prices rose by 280%, so if recreation and
entertainment allocation did not rise at all for other reason, inflaction about 3.7 lakh lines 280% to
about 140.4 lakhs an increase of about ?= 6.7 lakhs which is about 15% of the total increase of ?= 43
lakhs.
10. In these type of problems, where there are two pre- charts, for two years, and the laterb year has a
much higher total (as here, ?=10.4 lakhs in 1986 and ?= 103 lakh in 1996 ) , in general, the smallest
segment will have the smallest growth, in rupees, and the largest segments will have the largest
growth, in spite how the actual percentage change. In other words , because social security and
insurance here is the smallest item, it is the best place to start. 9% of the lakhs of rupees is 0.9 lakh in
1986. 7.3% of ?= 103 lakhs is about 7.5 lakhs in 1996, for an increased of about 6.6 lakhs. Allocations
were 16% in 1996, or 1.6 lakhs, and 10% in 1996 or 10.4 lakhs, an increase had a smaller increase,
and the other items are not worth checking. Note that allocation went from 16% in 1986 to 10% in
 153
1996, a greater decreased in percentage than social security and insurance, which went from 9% to 7%
but this did not matter.
11. In 1996,recreation and entertainment allocation was 45% of ?= 103 lakhs, or about 46 lakhs. In 1986, it
was 35.5% of ?= 10.4 lakhs, 3.6 lakhs. Hence there is about 13 times increase.
