A few days ago I said to a distinguished Bengali doctor of medicine, ‘I know no German, yet if a translation of a German poet had moved me, I would go to the British Museum and find books in English that would tell me something of his life, and of the history of his thought. But though these prose translations from Rabindranath Tagore have rendered(1) my blood as nothing has for years, I shall not know anything of his life, and of the movements of thought that have made them possible, if some Indian traveller will not tell me.’ It seemed to him natural that I should be moved(2), for he said, ‘I read Rabindranath every day, to read one line of his is to forget all the troubles of the world.’ I said, ‘An Englishman living in London in the reign of Richard the Second had he been shown translations from Petrarch or from Dante, would have found no books to answer his questions, but would have questioned some Florentine banker or Lombard merchant as I question you. For all I know, so abundant and simple is this poetry, the new page(3) has been born in your country and I shall never know of it except by hearsay.’ He answered, ‘We have other poets, but none that are his equal; we call this the taint(4) of Rabindranath. No poet seems to me as famous in Europe as he is among us. He is as great in music as in poetry, and his songs are sung from the west of India into Burma wherever Bengali is spoken. He was already famous at nineteen when he wrote his first novel; and plays when he was but little older, are still played in Calcutta. I so much admire the intense(5) of his life; when he was very young he wrote much of natural objects, he would sit all day in his garden; from his twenty-fifth year or so to his thirty-fifth perhaps, when he had a great sorrow, he wrote the most beautiful love poetry in our language’; and then he said with deep emotion, ‘words can never express what I owed at seventeen to his love poetry.

Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions:
We do not know what will come out of the meeting between President Trump and Xi Jinping at the G-20 on June 28, but the signs are ominous. The state-promoted anti-American propaganda blasting US “bullying” on trade and the resurgence in Chinese nationalism stoked by Xi Jinping augur poorly for successful trade negotiations with China. And any deal made by Trump is likely to be attacked by Democrats as too weak, so Trump at this point has little incentive to make a deal with China before the 2020 presidential election.
My prediction is that China will not drop its equity caps and intellectual property theft, and will not stop subsidizing all of its state-owned enterprises. As a result; we will see acceleration of the decoupling of China from the United States, in other words, a reversal of the economic integration and interpenetration that has taken place between these two economies over the past 20 years. So let us examine the implications of the decoupling of China from the United States.
The first area to consider is trade. The IMF has estimated that if the United States were to impose 25 percent tariffs on all Chinese imports, and China were to retaliate, the trade volume between China and the United States would drop by 70 percent. So there would clearly be an initial “trade shock.”
The question here is whether the U.S. can find other low-cost suppliers. The answer is yes. We have seen that suppliers such as Vietnam have stepped up their exports to the United States, and other Asian countries and Mexico will also try to fill the role of low-cost supplier to the U.S. market. Vietnam has gained an estimated 7.9 percent of its gross domestic product from new business created by the U.S.-China trade war.
The second area is investment. Chinese direct investment in the United States dropped 84 percent from 2017 to 2018, from $29.4 billion to $4.8 billion. The U.S. government, will further limit Chinese investors through national security reviews. Meanwhile, U.S. direct investment in China has stagnated at $26.9 billion, with the annual growth rate dropping from 11 percent to 1.5 percent in 2018. U.S. investment will increasingly take place in other low-wage Asian countries such as Vietnam and Taiwan, and Mexico. If the Trump tariffs remain in place, China can be largely replaced over time by other countries as an investment target.
We are entering a new phase of increased Chinese assertiveness. China is now challenging the United States for global supremacy, while the U.S. Government distrusts Chinese intentions and sees China as a predatory competitor and an adversary. The global consensus based on liberalization is likely to be replaced by rival trading blocs. This may not be a desirable development from the standpoint of the United States and the global economy, but it is the most important geopolitical event of our era. Decoupling from China, while painful for both countries, would be preferable to a real war with China, the likely alternative.
Question 18: Which of the following is the synonym of the word “assertive” as given in the passage?
a) violent
b) emphatic
c) superior
d) eminent
e) mighty
Question 19: Each of the following questions has a paragraph from which a sentence has been deleted. From the given options, choose the sentence that completes the paragraph in the most appropriate way.
A new report published by the UN World Food Programme paints a picture of malnutrition and hunger amongst children in large parts of India. ___________________________ It raises morale and ethical questions about the nature of a state and society that, after 70 years of independence, still condemns hundreds of millions of its most impoverished and vulnerable citizens to lives of hunger and desperation. And it once again forces us to ask why despite rapid economic growth, declining levels of poverty, enough food to export, and a multiplicity of government programmes, malnutrition amongst the poorest remain high.
a) The effects of malnourished in a small child are not merely physical.
b) The report shows the extent of undernourishment all over India in great detail.
c) Accordingly Government of India started taking steps for helping undernourished.
d) The report punctures the image of a nation marching towards prosperity.
e) It added fuel to the already unstable economy of the developing nation.

Sentence 2 gives the reason for this problem. Hence it should follow sentence 3.
The correct order is 41325.
18) Answer (B)
The word “assertive” means having or showing forcefulness and self-assurance, which is same as the “emphatic”.

Option C is incorrect as the Govenment taking steps to overcome undernourishment is not in connecting the passage further.
Option A and B are irrelevent.

“The previous employment of labor is an indispensable condition to every productive operation, on any other than the very smallest scale”
makes grammatical sense. Hence the correct answer is option E

Hence the right option is (b).
23) Answer (E)
24) Answer (D)
Given area of square = 256$ cm^{2}$
Let the side of the square be “l cm”
So the area of square = $l^{2}$ = 256
l=16cm.
Now the ratio of the radius of the cone to the side of the square is 1:2 so
r/l=½
r/16=½
r=8cm.
The area of the cone shaped material can be calculated by dividing it into two right angled triangle such as:
From the figure we can understand that the height of the triangle will be equal to the side of the square
Area of the triangle = ½ x r x h, where r is the radius or base of the triangle and h is the height of the triangle.
Area of the triangle = ½ x 8 x 16 = 64 $cm^{2}$
For the two triangle the area will be doubled i.e the area of the cone shaped material = 64 x 2
= 128 $cm^{2}$
Now the remaining area after cutting this cone shaped material = 256-128 = 128 $cm^{2}$
25) Answer (C)
Given, Total number of students = 1016.
Ratio between number of students in Class I, II and III = 31 : 51 : 45
Let the number of students in Class I, II and III be 31x, 51x and 45x respectively.
31x+51x+45x = 1016
127x = 1016 ⇒ x = 8
Hence, Number of students in Class I = 31x = 31*8 = 248
Number of students in Class II = 51x = 51*8 = 408
Number of students in Class III = 45x = 45*8 = 360
Given, Number of boys in Class I is 21.42% more than that of girls in Class I
21.42% = $\dfrac{3}{14}$
Then, Number of boys in Class I = (100+21.42)% of Number of girls $= (1+\dfrac{3}{14}) = \dfrac{17}{14}$
In the above fraction, For every 14 girls, there are 17 boys.
Let the number of girls in Class I be 14x.
Then, Number of boys in Class I = 17x.
17x+14x = 248
31x = 248 ⇒ x = 8
Then, Number of boys in Class I = 17x = 17*8 = 136.
Number of girls in Class III is 18.18% less than that of boys in Class III
18.18% = $\dfrac{2}{11}$
Number of girls in Class III = (100-18.18)% of Number of boys $=(1-\dfrac{2}{11}) = \dfrac{9}{11}$
From the above fraction, we can say that for every 11 boys, there are 9 girls
Let the number of boys in Class III be 11x.
Then, Number of girls in Class III be 9x.
11x+9x = 360
20x = 360
⇒ x = 18
Then, Number of girls in Class III = 9x = 9*18 = 162.
Therefore, Required difference = 162 – 136 = 26.
26) Answer (C)
27) Answer (D)
E is going for holiday on an odd date of a month which is having maximum number of days. More than one person is going before E who is going to Ooty.
As per condition E is going for holiday on an odd date means 9th of a month which is having maximum number of days means 31 days. There are three month January, March and May for 31 days. But on 9th January E is not possible. Because as per second condition More than one person is going before E.
So we have left with two possibilities of E which is on 9th March and 9th May given in Case(i) and Case(ii) below.
Four persons are going for holiday between E and A. Number of persons going before A is same as number of persons going after Q.
Apply the conditions in both the cases.
D is going immediate before or immediate after Q.
Apply the condition in both the cases one by one.
Case(i): D is going immediate before or immediate after Q.
Case(ii): D is going immediate before or immediate after Q. In this two cases are possible which are given in Case(ii)(a) and Case(ii)(b) below.
C and F both are going on an odd date of a month which is having 31 days.
It means C and F both are going on 9th of any month which is having 31 days.
Apply the condition in all the cases one by one.
Case(i): In this case two places for C and F are not possible as per the condition. So it will be eliminated.
Case(ii)(a) & Case(ii)(b): C and F both are going on 9th of any month which is having 31 days. In both the cases, condition is possible in the form of either or.
Number of persons going before D who is going to Agra is same as number of persons going after T.
Case(ii)(a): In this case given condition “Number of persons going before D who is going to Agra is same as number of persons going after T.” is not possible. So it’s eliminated.
Case(ii)(b): Number of persons going before D who is going to Agra is same as number of persons going after T.
Now we have left with only one case which is Case(ii)(b) given above.
The one who is going to Ooty and P are going for holiday in the same month.
Five persons are going for holiday between the one who is going to Agra and B who is going to Goa.
The one who is going to Kashmir is exact between D and the one who is going to Goa.

Now we have left with R which will be placed on blank place. Two places Kerala and Mount abu are remaining which will be placed in either or form on blank spaces. Because we don’t have information regarding it.
Therefore we got the final arrangement.
According to the above arrangement, Either C or F is going to Kashmir for holidays.
Hence, option d is the correct answer.
28) Answer (A)
Let the Cost Price of one item be Rs.x
Then, Cost Price of the other item = Rs.12420 – x.
He marked up an item 22.22% above the Cost Price and gave 18.18% discount.
22.22% = $\dfrac{2}{9}$
18.18% = $\dfrac{2}{11}$
Then, Selling price = $x\times(1+\dfrac{2}{9})\times(1-\dfrac{2}{11})$
$= x\times\dfrac{11}{9}\times\dfrac{9}{11} = Rs.x$
He marked up another item 37.5% above the Cost Price and gave 11.11% discount.
37.5% = $\dfrac{3}{8}$
11.11% = $\dfrac{1}{9}$
Then, Selling Price = (12420-x)\times(1+\dfrac{3}{8})\times(1-\dfrac{1}{9})$
$= (12420-x)\times\dfrac{11}{8}\times\dfrac{8}{9}$
$= (12420-x)\times\dfrac{11}{9}$
$= 15180 – \dfrac{11x}{9}$
Difference between the Selling Prices = $x – (15180 – \dfrac{11x}{9}$
$= x – 15180+\dfrac{11x}{9} = \dfrac{20x}{9} – 15180$
Given, $\dfrac{20x}{9} – 15180 = 3620$
$\dfrac{20x}{9} = 15180+3620 = 18800$
$x = \dfrac{9}{20}\times18800 = 8460$
Then, Cost Price of the item which was sold at 11.11% = 12420 – 8460 = Rs.3960.
29) Answer (A)
First case
A jar contains milk and water 70 liters and 10 liters respectively. P liters of milk and (Q+1) liters of water is taken out from the initial mixture. Then the ratio will be 8:1.
$\dfrac{70 – P}{10 – (Q +1) } = \dfrac{8}{1}$
$\dfrac{70 – P}{9 – Q} = \dfrac{8}{1}$
70 – P = 72 – 8Q
8Q – P = 72 -70 = 2
8Q – P = 2
8Q – P – 2 = 0 Eq.(1)
Second case
In the initial mixture if Q liters of milk and P liters of water is added, Then the ratio will be 3:1.
$\dfrac{70 + Q}{10 + P} = \dfrac{3}{1}$
70 + Q = 30 + 3P
3P – Q = 70 – 30
Q – 3P = -40 Eq.(2)
Multiply Eq.(2) by 8.
8Q – 24P = -320
8Q – 24P + 320 = 0 Eq.(3)
Substract Eq.(3) by Eq.(1).
8Q – P – 2 – (8Q – 24P + 320) = 0
8Q – P – 2 – 8Q + 24P – 320 = 0
23P – 322 = 0
23P = 322
P = $\dfrac{322}{23}$
P = 14 liters.
Put the value of P in Eq.(1).
8Q – 14 – 2 = 0
8Q – 16 = 0
Q = $\dfrac{16}{8}$
Q = 2 liters.
Hence, option a is the correct answer.
30) Answer (E)
Divide the series in equal parts.
