Q.1)
Ans) a
Exp) Option a is correct.
Statement 1 is correct: The following line highlights that rapid developments do not give enough time
for the public debate around its potential impact. “Progress in this field has been so rapid that the
dialogue around potential societal and safety issues are scrambling to catch up. Aside from the safety
risks, human genome editing poses some hefty ethical questions.”
Statement 2 is incorrect: Nowhere in the passage it has been mentioned that such technologies are
out reach for poor people. However, it has been implied that while utility of such technological
advancements can be used for public good, there is a prospect that it could lead to artificial
improvements and enhancements by people who could afford it.

Q.2)
Ans) d
Exp) Option d is correct.
The passage highlights the fact that how societal subversion of democratic elections by criminal
violence is largely ignored. There are studies and academic focus on vertical threats have been there
but horizontal threats such as impact of violence have not been enough attention.

Q.3)
Ans) c
Exp) Option c is correct.
Statement 1 is incorrect: In the above passage, it has not been mentioned that the private investment
has not been high, in fact the passage mentions that the private investment stands depressed.
Statement 2 is correct: The following line highlights this statement, “However, the present slowing of
growth, points to the recent slowdown in demand. The growth slowdown has taken place when the
supply side, governed by policy, has not seen any great worsening for firms in the non-agricultural
sector.”
Statement 3 is incorrect: The causes of the slowdown has been discussed in the passage, highlighted
by the following line, “the present slowing of growth, points to the recent slowdown in demand.”
Thus, it cannot be said that the causes of slowdown are unknown.

Q.4)
Ans) c
Exp) Option c is correct.
The following line highlights how closely now tea is associated with personal manners as well as social
gatherings, “The custom of drinking tea widened its scope of influence at high speed and penetrated
into nooks of people’s daily life. And now, tea is prevalent in across several cultures in the world and
remain a focal point for social gatherings.”

Q.5)
Ans) b
Exp) Option b is correct.
The passage has conveyed that several North American and European intellectuals try to justify the
aggressive foreign policy of the US. This is highlighted in the beginning how real world affects
theories. And even in the last line that knowledge and power are correlated in international relations.

Q.6)
Ans) c
Exp) Option c is correct.

The following lines highlight the logical message of the passage, “We need to move away from the
standard church-state models of secularism and begin to focus instead on secularism as a response to
deep religious diversity. A secular state should show critical respect to all religious and philosophical
world views, possible only when it adopts a policy of principled distance towards all of them.”

Q.7)
Ans) d
Exp) Option d is the correct answer.
Statement 1 is incorrect: It is mentioned in the passage that India offers useful lessons from its
experience to deal with shocks like the global food price shock of 2007-2011 and more recent shock of
COVID -19. But we cannot assume that a food crisis was due to low production as the country has
successfully solved the issue of low food production.
Statement 2 is incorrect: The passage does not mention about climate change and its impact on food
production. So, it is an incorrect assumption.
Statement 3 is correct: The passage mentions that the country now has contemplated to move from a
single goal to multiple goals like sustainability; efficiency; equity; affordable, healthy and safe food;
farmer’s income and competitiveness in food value chain. This is done as India’s efforts to increase
output growth to raise food production were successful.
Statement 4 is correct: The passage mentions that the country has contemplated to move from a
single goal to multiple goals like sustainability; efficiency; equity; affordable, healthy and safe food;
farmer’s income and competitiveness in food value chain. Thus, multiple goals have been set for
agriculture.

Q.8)
Ans) c
Exp) Option c is the correct answer.
Option a is incorrect: The passage does not mention that government intervention in agricultural
marketing is creating the problem. Though one can argue that the passage mention that the enlarged
set of goals cannot be accomplished through Business as Usual approach but it will be beyond the
scope of the passage to assume that government intervention in agricultural marketing is creating
problem.
Option b is incorrect: The passage mentions that COVID-19 has created food issues but whether it led
to increase in malnutrition among children cannot be inferred.
Option c is correct: The passage mentions that the enlarged set of goals cannot be accomplished
through Business as Usual approach and many areas of concern cannot be left to market and they
require strong pro-active initiative from government, public institutions, private sector and civil
society. So, this statement is the most rational and logical inference.
Option d is incorrect: The passage does not mention about the Green Revolution. So, this statement is
beyond the scope of the passage.

Q.9)
Ans) a
Exp) G = E, D < K, E < S, K ≤ G

Ans) d
Exp) Option d is the correct answer.
Option a is incorrect: The passage is centered on the low growth in agricultural sector and reasons
for this. The income distribution is beyond the scope of the passage.
Option b is incorrect: We cannot infer from the passage that the economic reforms in 1991 did not
have any provision for improving agricultural market.
Option c is incorrect: The passage mention that the average annual growth rate for five years in
agriculture hovered around a long-term growth trend of 3%. So, there is not much growth in this
sector. Further, the passage is talking about low growth in agricultural sector as compared to non-
agricultural sector and reasons for this.
Option d is correct: The passage mentions the reasons for low growth in agricultural sector. It
mention that an important reason for this is that the price incentive offered by the agricultural
market in the country did not improve, as these markets remained fragmented, inefficient and
dominated by low scale and multiple middlemen.

As said in question that A joins B after 5 days that means B was working for the first 5 days from
starting alone.
Hence, Work done by B in 5 days = 2 × 5 = 10 units
Now remaining Work = Total Work - Work done by B alone, So the left work = 30 - 10 = 20 units.
Remaining work is done by both A and B together, therefore time taken by (A+B) = 20/5 = 4 days.
And Total Time taken to complete the whole work = 5 + 4 = 9 days

Q.37)
Ans) b
Exp) Let total amount = x,
According to the question,
As we know that sum of A.P n terms = n/2(a (first term) + l (last term))
So, 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 ………. + 20 = (20/2) × 21 = 210
(Sum of A.P of 20 terms where a = 1 and l = 20)
As per question,
x = 3x/4 + 210 + 190
Or, x/4 = 400
So, x = 1600.
Hence the correct option is B.

Q.38)

Exp) Part of the tank filled in 1 minute when all the three pipes are opened simultaneously
1 1 1 6+2−3 5 1
= + − = = =
10 30 20 60 60 12
Hence, the tank will be filled in 12 minutes.

Q.39)
Ans) d
Exp) Let the remainder in each case be x.
Then, (11284 – x) and (7655 – x) are exactly divisible by that three-digit number.
Hence, their difference is [(11284 – x) – (7655 – x) = 3629 will also be exactly divisible by that three-
digit number.
In other words that divisor will be a factor of 3629.
Now, 3629 = 19 × 191
Since both 19 and 191 are prime numbers, the three-digit number is 191.
Hence, the required number = 191

Q.40)
Ans)
Exp) For the least number of tiles, each tile must be of maximum area.
Side of the largest tile = HCF of 26m and 10m

circumstances should new organisations be created henceforth without abolishing existing ones”

Q.42)
Ans) b
Exp) Option b is correct.
The following lines in the passage highlight how space technology has wide application beyond space
exploration, “The commercial sector has already adopted inventions that were funded or designed by
space agencies. These include several ecology-based projects like one that uses LED light color that
triggers growth for indoor agriculture or satellites used to predict the weather and document climate
change”.

Q.43)
Ans) c
Exp) Option c is correct.
The following lines clearly highlight the impact of classifying groundwater by its usage, “Classifying
groundwater use could be the most impactful action. Such a classification can reduce the demand
substantially, while improving efficiency.”

Q.44)
Ans) a
Exp) The entire passage has focus on how public healthcare is cost-effective as well as significantly
rewarding. It mentions that public healthcare investments “give returns on investment in both the
short and longer terms.” Furthermore, “Investing in cost-effective interventions to reduce costs to
the health sector and other sectors can help create sustainable health systems and economies for the
future.”

Q.45)
Ans) a
Exp) Statement 1 is correct: The passage mentions that norm of use of nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P)
and potassium (K) in the ratio of 4:2:1 was a product of 1950s experiments that has led to wrong
policies on fertilizers. This has led to inadequate or over application of fertilizers. So, the policy on
fertilizer use should not be based on an outdated norm.
Statement 2 is incorrect: The passage mentions that contrary to the notion that there is excess use
of nitrogen in India, 12 major states were found using less than the required level. So, it is a common
notion in India that farmers apply excess nitrogen but in reality we have to raise the use of nitrogen in
the two-thirds of the states.

Q.46)
Ans) a
Exp) Option a is correct: The passage mentions that norm of use of nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) and
potassium (K) in the ratio of 4:2:1 was a product of 1950s experiments that has led to wrong policies on
fertilizers. This has led to inadequate or over application of fertilizers and has become irrelevant to
the present agricultural situation.
Option b is incorrect: Though this statement is true but it does not reflect the critical message of the
passage which is centered on correcting the 4:2:1 norm of fertilizer use.
Option c is incorrect: The passage mention that India faces large deficits in use of P and K. So we
must increase their application. But we have to raise the N in the two-thirds of the states also as 12
major states were found using less than the required level of nitrogen.

Option d is incorrect: The passage mentions that that there are three major plant nutrients, namely,
nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) and potassium (K). This means that there are other nutrient too that
will be required for plant growth.

Q.47)
Ans) c
Exp) Option c is the correct answer.
Option a is incorrect: The passage does not mention about the blending of fuels and their impact on
carbon emission. So, this cannot be implied.
Option b is incorrect: The passage does not mention about the fuel efficiency of vehicles vis-à-vis
different fuels. So, this cannot be implied.
Option c is correct: The passage compares the cost of cost of gasoline with the cost of ethanol and
methanol. This implies that if gasoline cost is high then the production of alternate fuels such as
methanol and ethanol will get boost.
Option d is incorrect: The passage mentions that unlike ethanol, methanol will not ignite a food
versus fuel security debate. This implies that ethanol can endanger the food security but methanol
won’t.

Q.48)
Ans) b
Exp) Option a is incorrect: We can infer from the passage that current prices of gasoline are high but
there is no mention of the reason for this. So, this cannot be inferred.
Option b is correct: The passage mentions that even if the government levies a high tax on methanol,
its price will be very much in the range of current gasoline prices prevailing in India. Unlike ethanol,
methanol will not ignite a food versus fuel security debate. Using coal to produce methanol will help
India monetize its domestic resources to reduce crude oil imports. Thus, the passage mentions the
multiple benefits of transiting towards methanol.
Option c is incorrect: The passage mentions that India is dependent on oil imports but it does not
mention about current account deficit. So, this is an incorrect inference.
Option d is incorrect: The passage mentions that there is no commercial coal to methanol plant in
India. But there might be other methanol plants. So, this is an incorrect inference.

Q.49)

Exp)

Q.50)
Ans) d
Exp) Let the total work (LCM of 12, 15) be 60.
Efficiency of A = 60/12 = 5 units/day
Efficiency of B = 60/15 = 4 units/day
On the first two days, A can do 5 units on the first day and B can do 4 units on the second day.
(Because they are working on alternate days)
Total units completed in the 1st day and 2nd day is= 9 units
60% of the work = 60 × 75% = 45
According to 9 units per 2 day, in 10 days 45 units of the work completed.

Loss% of Rambha = 25%

The selling price of Dimpi = C.P × (100 + P%)/100
⇒ 25,000 × (100 + 20)/100
⇒ Rs. 30,000
The cost price of Rambha = Selling price of Dimpi
The cost price of Rambha = 30,000
Rambha spent on repairing = Rs. 5000
So, Total cost price of Rambha = 30,000 + 5,000
⇒ Rs. 35,000
The selling price of Rambha = C.P × (100 – L%)/100
⇒ 35,000 × (100 – 25%)/100
⇒ Rs. 26,250
The cost price of Rakhi = Selling price of Rambha
The cost price of Rakhi = 26,250
The cost price of Rakhi more to the cost price of Dimpi = 26,250 – 25,000
⇒ 1,250
More % = (1,250/25,000) × 100
⇒ 5%
Therefore, the cost price of Rakhi is 5% more than the cost price of Dimpi.

Option b is correct: The passage mentions that reading comprehension is a fundamental cognitive
ability for children that support school achievement and successively participation in most areas of
adult life. It is a complex cognitive ability which involves linguistic, cognitive and metacognitive skills.
So, this statement is the best crux of the passage.
Option c is incorrect: The statement can be inferred from the passage but it is not the crux of the
passage. The crux should explain about the main idea of the passage.
Option d is incorrect: The passage mentions that reading comprehension is a complex cognitive
ability that involves not only linguistic skills like grammatical knowledge but also cognitive and
metacognitive skills and higher order comprehension skills such as the generation of inferences. So,
this is wrong statement.

Q.62)
Ans) a
Exp) Statement 1 is correct: The passage mentions that reading comprehension is a fundamental
cognitive ability for children that support school achievement and successively participation in most
areas of adult life. So, it is a correct assumption.
Statement 2 is incorrect: The passage mentions that reading comprehension is a complex cognitive
ability that involves not only linguistic skills like grammatical knowledge but also cognitive and
metacognitive skills and higher order comprehension skills such as the generation of inferences. So,
having more command over component does not ensure better reading comprehension ability as
other components have also to be taken into account.
Statement 3 is incorrect: It is mentioned in the passage that technology can become a fundamental
support to improve traditional reading comprehension and learning skills. So, Reading
comprehension is a cognitive ability so it can be learned.

Q.63)
Ans) c
Exp) Option a is incorrect: The passage mentions that nudges is an intervention, from either private
or public institutions, that affects people’s behaviour while fully maintaining their freedom of choice.
So, it is a wrong inference.
Option b is incorrect: This cannot be inferred from the passage. The massage mentions about organ
donation as an example for choice architecture. To infer that India has high rates organ donation is
beyond the scope of the passage.
Option c is correct: The passage mentions about the choice architecture which influences judgment
and decision-making in a subtle and automatic manner. For example, provision of organ donation as
the default option in the driving and motor vehicles form shows a significant increase in organ
donation, just as small sized plates in buffets has been found to result in less food wastage. This
means that if we carefully restrict the choices then desired results can be achieved.
Option d is incorrect: This statement cannot be inferred as nowhere in the passage it is mentioned
that Indian society is irrational as well as that behavioural economic tools are unsuccessful in India.

Q.64)
Ans) c
Exp) Statement 1 is correct: The passage mentions that provision of organ donation as the default
option in the driving and motor vehicles form shows a significant increase in organ donation. This
means that people have to nudge towards organ donation and are not enthusiastic about it.
Statement 2 is incorrect: The passage does not mention anything about green nudges. So, this
assumption is invalid.
Statement 3 is correct: Nudge involves change in the structured environment which influences
judgment and decision-making in a subtle and automatic manner and is designed to elicit the desired

behavior. So, it does not incur much cost. Also, the examples of organ donation and buffet clearly
demonstrate about its cost-effectiveness.

Q.65)
Ans) d
Exp) Statement 1 is incorrect: The batteries and not the Electric Vehicle need to be replaced after the
battery performance falls below 70–80% of the initial nameplate storage capacity.
Statement 2 is incorrect: The passage mentions that while the battery may no longer be able to meet
its original performance requirements, the battery still has life remaining and can be repurposed for a
second-life application in line with its remaining performance characteristics. So, the repurposed
batteries will find application other than EV.

Q.66)
Ans) a
Exp) Option a is correct: We can infer it from the line “typically, this replacement occurs when the
battery performance falls below 70–80% of the initial nameplate storage capacity.” So, as the EV
market grows automatically there will be increase in the rate of battery replacement.
Option b is incorrect: The statement is incorrect as the battery development should increase the
time for battery replacement. Moreover, there is no mention about this aspect (research) in the
passage.
Option c is incorrect: The passage mentions that at some point in the life of an Electric Vehicle (EV)
battery pack, the consumer may choose to replace the battery if its capacity is no longer sufficient to
meet the end-use application needs. Typically, this replacement occurs when the battery
performance falls below 70–80% of the initial nameplate storage capacity. We cannot infer that the
battery needs to be replaced within short span of time.
Option d is incorrect: This statement is beyond the scope of the passage as the passage does not
mentions what will be the impact on imported raw material due to second-use applications of
batteries.

Q.67)
Ans) c
Exp) Statement 1 is incorrect: The passage mentions that there was a 15% fall in BCG, Pentavalent 1,
and at-birth oral polio vaccinations but it was due to movement restriction caused by lockdown and
not due to non-availability of vaccine.
Statement 2 is correct: The passage mentions that the health services were severely curtailed during
the months of the strictest lockdown-March-May 2020. Even where services remained open, use of
essential services decreased. So, it is a correct inference.
Statement 3 is incorrect: The passage is centered on the lockdown period between March and May
2020 and the condition of health services during this period. We cannot infer what happened in 2021.
Statement 4 is incorrect: The passage does not mention the comparative data regarding institutional
deliveries between urban and rural areas. So, this is an incorrect inference.

Q.68)
Ans) d
Exp) Statement 1 is incorrect: The passage mentions that the supply of two crucial raw materials has
not been continuous to the steel sector due to various reasons. But whether it led to decline in steel
production in India cannot be assumed.
Statement 2 is incorrect: The passage does not mention about the world demand for steel. So, this
assumption is invalid.
Statement 3 is incorrect: The passage mentions that there have been various mine closures over the
past five years as a result of Shah Commission investigation and Supreme Court announcements. And

bans on iron ore mining in the states like Karnataka & Goa due to illegal mining had been imposed
through Supreme Court rulings. So, we cannot assume what was the recommendation of Shah
Commission.

Q.69)
Ans) c
Exp) If Sabastian finishes after Dicken, then two runners must finish after Dicken- Sabastian and
Morrison. It is possible that White finishes either before or after Dicken. However, four people are
required to finish before Dicken- Gilchrist, Churchill, Pattrick, and Amit.

Q.70)
Ans) c
Exp) This constraint would set up a chain that would look like this: Amit < Pattrick < white < Sabastian.
Based on this chain, it is clear that Amit must finish before Sabastian.

Q.71)
Ans) d
Exp) The graph shows that the price of M and N type tiles decreases over the period. Now, for O type
tiles the percentage increase from 2006 to 2012 is;
200−150 50 1
× 100 = × 100 = 33 %
150 150 3
For P type tiles the percentage increase from 2006 to 2012 is
300−50 250
× 100 = × 100 = 500%
50 50

Q.72)
Ans) b
1 1250
Exp) Average price of M during 2006 to 2012 = (250 + 400 + 50 + 150 + 200 + 50 + 150) = =
7 7
178.57
1 2150
Average price of N during 2006 to 2012 = (300 + 350 + 250 + 350 + 300 + 350 + 250) = = 307.14
7 7
1 1300
Average price of O during 2006 to 2012 = (150 + 100 + 200 + 300 + 100 + 250 + 200) = = 185.714
7 7
1
Average price of P during 2006 to 2012 = (50 + 200 + 150 + 100 + 250 + 100 + 300) = 164.28
7
Thus, N type of tiles’ show the maximum average price during 2006 to 2012.

Q.73)
Ans) c
Exp) Total price of all four types of tiles in 2012 is (150 + 200 + 250 + 300) = 900
Total price of all four types of tiles in 2009 is (150 + 200 + 250 + 300) = 900
Both are equal, so the required percentage is 0%.
