1) Answer (D)
The criteria to qualify the examination is that a student has to get :
(a) : $\geq50\%$ marks separately in any four subjects.
(b) : $\geq35\%$ marks in each of the six subjects.
Since, only 25% students have qualified in the examination, then these students definitely got at least 35% and above marks in each of the subjects as given in the fourth option.
=> Ans – (D)
2) Answer (C)
Except the third statement, i.e. a private builders scheme which has come up on the adjacent plot is overbooked in spite of higher cost and 100% advance payment, all may be reasons for not going for the flats by the people. The third option has no connection with the statement.
=> Ans – (C)
3) Answer (D)
The reason why the tourist company has mentioned the term ‘hassle-free holiday package’ in the advertisement can be because of many people desire convenience and comfort while going for a holiday and assuming that people will prefer to tour by their company.
=> Ans – (D)
4) Answer (C)
The given statement indicates that parents who do not give proper attention to their children have affected the child’s performance.
The first, second and last options supports the above statement, the fourth statement is the consequence of above statement, but the third statement weakens the above argument as it states that a child can improve with good adjustment with his/her friends.
=> Ans – (C)
5) Answer (B)
As mentioned, ‘food was cooked and stored in the open space for almost 12 hours earlier’. Now, this may be the cause of food-poisoning as given in the second option.
=> Ans – (B)
6) Answer (E)
The givens statement indicates that the new medication can be responsible for the increase in deaths in village A, but in the last option, it is given that a cement factory set up 5 years ago in the village was responsible for leaching ABN in the soil as well as drinking water way above the danger limit, which shifts the blame from medication to the factory and hence weakens the argument.
=> Ans – (E)
7) Answer (C)
The given statement indicates that inspite of opposing the renewal of license of coal depot by the social activist, the pollution control board still did it, which is 1 km from the village X.
The first, second and last statements are against the given argument and weakens it. The fourth statement was the course of action. But the third statement states that the depot provides employment to more than half of the population of neighbouring village, and that can be the reason for the renewal of its license, thus it supports above argument.
=> Ans – (C)
8) Answer (E)
The first statement supports organic farming and thus can’t be the reason why farmers in village B do not opt it.
Similarly, the second and third options do not support the action of farmers of village B. The fourth options is not even related to farmers of village B.
But, the last option may support the given argument as there may be lack of farmers at affordable costs in village B.
=> Ans – (E)
9) Answer (E)
The Medical Association values welfare, not profit. Hence option (a) is ruled out.
Options (b), (c) and (d) are ruled out because the medicine is ‘abundantly available”.
Thus (e) seems to be the reason, moving the medicine to the village might lead to the loss of the “prescribed controlled environments”.
=> Ans – (E)
10) Answer (D)
The statement indicates that the people have invested their money in the flats and are still not in the possession of them.
Thus, the probable course of action is that the government should Immediately take steps to end the impasse through proper coordination and management as given in the fourth option. The government should not give it to the needy ones, as it will be unjust to those who have invested their money.
=> Ans – (D)
11) Answer (C)
The given statement indicates that because of the better facilities provided by the gulf airlines, the senior pilots have started to opt Gulf airlines instead of domestic airlines.
The first two statements should not be a valid course of action, as it is not the airlines and pilot’s fault to provide and go for better facilities respectively. Similarly, in the fourth option, passengers also require better facilities.
The probable course of action should be that the Government of the Country ‘X’ should immediately take steps to improve the service of the domestic airlines after meeting with the senior pilots as mentioned in the third option.
=> Ans – (C)
12) Answer (D)
Q is younger than only S and R, => Q is the third eldest in the group.
Also, it is given that Q is elder than T.
=> and S, R > Q > P, T
Thus, either R or S is the eldest.
=> Ans – (D)
13) Answer (C)
R is taller than only P and U, => R is the fourth tallest.
S is shorter than only T and Q, => S is the third tallest.
=> T, Q > S > R > P, U
Thus, S will be the third from top when they are arranged in descending order of their height.
=> Ans – (C)
14) Answer (C)
Let us give ranks to each person, where 1 -> highest marks and 5 -> lowest marks.
Only two persons scored more marks than A, => A’s rank is 3 and he is in the middle.
Also, D and C scored more than B but B is not the lowest, => B’s rank is 4 and C and D are either 1 or 2.
This leaves with the only option that the lowest marks are scored by E.
$\therefore$ C, D > A > B > E
Thus, E scored the lowest marks.
=> Ans – (C) : E
15) Answer (E)
It is given that Akshay is 16th from the left end in the row of boys and Vijay is 18th from the right end.
Avinash is 11th from Akshay towards the right end and 3rd from Vijay towards the right end.
So we shall say that Avinash is 27th from the left end as he is 11th from Akshay who is 16th from the left end. i.e. 16 + 11 = 27
Also Avinash is 3rd from Vijay towards the right end, So we can say that Avinash is 15th from the right end. i.e. 18 – 3 = 15
By knowing two positions of Avinash,
=> Total number of boys = 27 + 15 – 1 = 41.
16) Answer (A)
Let us give them ranks, where 1 -> oldest and 4 -> youngest
M is older than only P, => P is the youngest and M = 3 , P = 4
Also, T is older than R, => T = 1 , R = 2
$\therefore$ T > R > M > P
Thus, T is the oldest.
=> Ans – (A)
17) Answer (C)
T is taller than D but shorter than M, => M > T > D
R is taller than N but shorter than D, => D > R > N
Combining above statements, we get :
=> M > T > D > R > N
Thus, M is the tallest.
=> Ans – (C)
18) Answer (C)
Among the passed students, Neeta’s rank from top = 22nd
Kalyan is 5 ranks below Neeta, => Kalyan’s rank from top = 22 + 5 = 27th
Also, Kalyan’s rank from bottom = 34th
=> Total number of passed students in the class = 34 + 27 – 1 = 60
Ratio between passed and failed students = 4 : 1
$\therefore$ Total number of students in the class = $60 \times \frac{5}{4} = 75$
19) Answer (B)
The code for P – 2
R – 9
O – 4
