Let us draw a circular arrangement diagram with 8 spot numbered from 1 to 8.
It is given that the minimum PCI and maximum PCI are USD 7500 and USD 18000 respectively. Also, the PCI are in an arithmetic progression.
Hence, we can say that a = 7500, a+7d = 18000 => d = 1500
Therefore, the PCI of the eight nations are USD 7500, USD 9000, USD 10500, USD 12000, USD 13500, USD 15000 ,USD 16500 and USD 18000 in ascending order.
In statement 4, it is given that Sirisena, who is facing outside, is sitting third to the right of the delegate from New Zealand.
Let us assume that Sirisena is seated on 1st spot then we can say that the delegate from New Zealand is seated at either 4th or 6th spot.
Case 1: When the delegate from New Zealand is seated on 4th spot.
It is given in statement 10 that Neither Irfan nor Prayut are from New Zealand. Also we know that Malcolm is sitting in between Irfan and Prayut Hence Malcolm should have 1 space vacant on both sides. Hence Malcolm can sit either at 6th or 7th spot. If Malcolm sits on 6th spot then Jacinda has to sit on 4th position. While it is given that Jacinda is not from New Zealand. Hence, we can say that Malcolm can’t sit on 6th spot.
If Malcolm sits on 7th position then Jacinda will have to sit opposite to Sirisena whereas it is given that Sirisena and Jacinda are not seated opposite to each other. Hence, we can say that Malcolm can’t sit on 7th spot.
Hence, we can say that the delegate from New Zealand is not seated on 4th spot.
Case 2: When the delegate from New Zealand is seated on 6th spot.
Irfan and Prayut belong to the nations whose PCI are USD 10500 and USD 12000. Neither Irfan nor Prayut is from New Zealand. Hence, we can say that New Zealands’s PCI can’t be either USD 10500 or USD 12000.
In statement (6), it is given that Malcolm, who is facing outside, is an immediate neighbour of Irfan and Prayut.
Hence, we can say that Malcolm can be seated on any of 3rd, 4th and 6th spot.
If Malcolm is seated on 3rd spot then Jacinda should occupy 1st spot which is not vacant. Hence, we can say that Malcolm can’t occupy 3rd spot.
If Malcolm is seated on 6th spot then Jacinda will occupy 4th spot. But in this case Ashraf has to sit on any one of 8th, 2nd and 3rd seat. In this case Ashraf has to be a neighbor of either Jacinda and Sirisena which contradicts to the information given in statement 2. Hence, we can say that Malcolm can’t occupy 6th spot as well.
Therefore, we can say that Malcolm occupies 4th spot. Consequently, Jacinda sits on 2nd spot. Also, Irfan and Prayut can occupy 3rd and 4th spot in any order.
The delegates from Afghanistan and Australia are facing towards each other, and the delegate from Pakistan is sitting to the immediate left of the delegate from Afghanistan.
We can say that the delegates from Afghanistan and Australia are facing towards centre. That’s only possible when they are seated at 3rd and 7th spot. Also, the delegate from Pakistan is sitting to the immediate left of the delegate from Afghanistan. This is possible only when the delegate from Afghanistan occupies 7th spot. Consequently, the delegates from Pakistan and Australia will occupy 8th and 3rd spot respectively.
Yameen’s country PCI is equal to the sum of the PCI of his immediate neighbours. This is only possible when his neigbour’s PCI are USD 7500 and 9000 in any order. Therefore, Yameen can occupy only 8th spot.
It is given that Ashraf is facing towards the centre and is not an immediate neighbour of Jacinda and Sirisena. Therefore, we can say that Ashraf is from Afghanistan and occupies 7th spot. Consequently, Widodo will occupy 6th spot.
Also, it is given that Ashraf doesn’t belong to the nation with the least PCI. Hence, we can say that Sirisena belongs to the nation with the PCI USD 7500. Consequently, we can say that Afghanistan’s PCI is 9000 USD. The PCI of New Zealand and Indonesia are USD 13500 and USD 15000 in any order.
From the arrangement, we can see that Sirisena is seated 3rd to the right of Widodo. Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Case 2: When the delegate from New Zealand is seated on 6th spot.
Irfan and Prayut belong to the nations whose PCI are USD 10500 and USD 12000. Neither Irfan nor Prayut is from New Zealand. Hence, we can say that New Zealands’s PCI can’t be either USD 10500 or USD 12000.
In statement (6), it is given that Malcolm, who is facing outside, is an immediate neighbour of Irfan and Prayut.
Hence, we can say that Malcolm can be seated on any of 3rd, 4th and 6th spot.
If Malcolm is seated on 3rd spot then Jacinda should occupy 1st spot which is not vacant. Hence, we can say that Malcolm can’t occupy 3rd spot.
If Malcolm is seated on 6th spot then Jacinda will occupy 4th spot. But in this case Ashraf has to sit on any one of 8th, 2nd and 3rd seat. In this case Ashraf has to be a neighbor of either Jacinda and Sirisena which contradicts to the information given in statement 2. Hence, we can say that Malcolm can’t occupy 6th spot as well.
Therefore, we can say that Malcolm occupies 4th spot. Consequently, Jacinda sits on 2nd spot. Also, Irfan and Prayut can occupy 3rd and 4th spot in any order.
The delegates from Afghanistan and Australia are facing towards each other, and the delegate from Pakistan is sitting to the immediate left of the delegate from Afghanistan.
We can say that the delegates from Afghanistan and Australia are facing towards centre. That’s only possible when they are seated at 3rd and 7th spot. Also, the delegate from Pakistan is sitting to the immediate left of the delegate from Afghanistan. This is possible only when the delegate from Afghanistan occupies 7th spot. Consequently, the delegates from Pakistan and Australia will occupy 8th and 3rd spot respectively.
Yameen’s country PCI is equal to the sum of the PCI of his immediate neighbours. This is only possible when his neigbour’s PCI are USD 7500 and 9000 in any order. Therefore, Yameen can occupy only 8th spot.
It is given that Ashraf is facing towards the centre and is not an immediate neighbour of Jacinda and Sirisena. Therefore, we can say that Ashraf is from Afghanistan and occupies 7th spot. Consequently, Widodo will occupy 6th spot.
Also, it is given that Ashraf doesn’t belong to the nation with the least PCI. Hence, we can say that Sirisena belongs to the nation with the PCI USD 7500. Consequently, we can say that Afghanistan’s PCI is 9000 USD. The PCI of New Zealand and Indonesia are USD 13500 and USD 15000 in any order.
From the arrangement, we can see that Widodo belongs to New Zealand. Hence, option D is the correct answer.

9) Answer (C)
Area of room T is 12 $m^2$.
One side of room T is 6 $m$ in length.
Therefore, the area of room S is 4.
It has been given that at 5 rooms have the same area and rooms P and R have the same area.
Rooms P, Q and R have the same area.
Area of room P + area of room Q = 32 $m^2$
Rooms P and Q share a wall.
Therefore, the lengths of rooms P and Q must be the same.
Let the length of room P be l.
Length of room U =length of room V = 2l
Let the width of room P be b.
lb = 16 ———(1)
Let the breadth of room U be ‘x’.
2lx = 16 ———–(2)
=> x = b/2.
The same can be said to be true with respect to room V as well.
Now, we know that b + b/2 + b/2 = 8
=> b = 8 and l = 4.
The length and breadth of all the rooms are as follows:
Amar has only 2 neighbours.
Amar can live in rooms P, V, S or T.
The areas of room assigned to Edward and Ganesh is the same but the perimeters are different.
Therefore, one of them must be living among rooms U, V and R and the other must be living in P or Q.
The perimeter of the room in which Amar lives is equal to the perimeter of the room in which Ganesh lives.
The perimeter of the room in which Ganesh lives can be 20 or 16.
Perimeter of room P, V, S and T are 16, 20, 8 and 16 respectively. Therefore, Amar cannot live in room S. It has been given that Amar does not live in Room P. Therefore, Amar can live in rooms V or T.
Case 1:
Amar lives in room V.
The areas of rooms in which Edward and Ganesh live is the same but the perimeters are different.
Edward and Ganesh are not neighbours. Amar and Edward are not neighbours. Therefore, Edward must live in room P and Ganesh must live in room R.
Faisal is not a neighbour of Amar or Edward. Faisal does not live in the smallest room. Therefore, Faisal must live in room T. Faisal and Ganesh are neighbours of Deepak. Therefore, Deepak must live in room S. The perimeter of the room in which Bindu lives is less than the perimeter of the room in which Charan lives. Therefore, Charan must live in room U and Bindu must live in room Q.
The arrangement will be as follows:
Case 2:
Amar lives in room T.
The areas of rooms in which Edward and Ganesh live is the same but the perimeters are different.
Edward and Ganesh are not neighbours. Amar and Edward are not neighbours. Faisal is not a neighbour of Amar or Edward and he does not live in the smallest room. Ganesh does not live in room Q. Therefore, Ganesh must live in room P and Edward must live in room V.
Ganesh and Faisal are neighbours of Deepak. The perimeter of the room in which Bindu lives is less than the perimeter of the room in which Charan lives. Therefore, the arrangement will be as follows:
As we can see, Edward is the only person who can be definitely said to be living in a corner room. Therefore, option C is the right answer.
10) Answer (B)
Area of room T is 16 $m^2$.
One side of room T is 6 $m$ in length.
Therefore, the area of room S is 4.
It has been given that at 5 rooms have the same area and rooms P and R have the same area.
Rooms P, Q and R have the same area.
Area of room P + area of room Q = 32 $m^2$
Rooms P and Q share a wall.
Therefore, the lengths of rooms P and Q must be the same.
Let the length of room P be l.
Length of room U =length of room V = 2l
Let the width of room P be b.
lb = 16 ———(1)
Let the breadth of room U be ‘x’.
2lx = 16 ———–(2)
=> x = b/2.
The same can be said to be true with respect to room V as well.
Now, we know that b + b/2 + b/2 = 8
=> b = 8 and l = 4.
The length and breadth of all the rooms are as follows:
Amar has only 2 neighbours.
Amar can live in rooms P, V, S or T.

The areas of rooms in which Edward and Ganesh live is the same but the perimeters are different.
Edward and Ganesh are not neighbours. Amar and Edward are not neighbours. Faisal is not a neighbour of Amar or Edward and he does not live in the smallest room. Ganesh does not live in room Q. Therefore, Ganesh must live in room P and Edward must live in room V.
Ganesh and Faisal are neighbours of Deepak. The perimeter of the room in which Bindu lives is less than the perimeter of the room in which Charan lives. Therefore, the arrangement will be as follows:
Deepak is definitely not a neighbour of Bindu. Therefore, option B is the right answer.
11) Answer (D)
Area of room T is 16 $m^2$.
One side of room T is 6 $m$ in length.
Therefore, the area of room S is 4.
It has been given that at 5 rooms have the same area and rooms P and R have the same area.
Rooms P, Q and R have the same area.
Area of room P + area of room Q = 32 $m^2$
Rooms P and Q share a wall.
Therefore, the lengths of rooms P and Q must be the same.
Let the length of room P be l.
Length of room U =length of room V = 2l
Let the width of room P be b.
lb = 16 ———(1)
Let the breadth of room U be ‘x’.
2lx = 16 ———–(2)
=> x = b/2.
The same can be said to be true with respect to room V as well.
Now, we know that b + b/2 + b/2 = 8
=> b = 8 and l = 4.
The length and breadth of all the rooms are as follows:
Amar has only 2 neighbours.
Amar can live in rooms P, V, S or T.
The areas of room assigned to Edward and Ganesh is the same but the perimeters are different.
Therefore, one of them must be living among rooms U, V and R and the other must be living in P or Q.
The perimeter of the room in which Amar lives is equal to the perimeter of the room in which Ganesh lives.
The perimeter of the room in which Ganesh lives can be 20 or 16.
Perimeter of room P, V, S and T are 16, 20, 8 and 16 respectively. Therefore, Amar cannot live in room S. It has been given that Amar does not live in Room P. Therefore, Amar can live in rooms V or T.
Case 1:
Amar lives in room V.
The areas of rooms in which Edward and Ganesh live is the same but the perimeters are different.
Edward and Ganesh are not neighbours. Amar and Edward are not neighbours. Therefore, Edward must live in room P and Ganesh must live in room R.
Faisal is not a neighbour of Amar or Edward. Faisal does not live in the smallest room. Therefore, Faisal must live in room T. Faisal and Ganesh are neighbours of Deepak. Therefore, Deepak must live in room S. The perimeter of the room in which Bindu lives is less than the perimeter of the room in which Charan lives. Therefore, Charan must live in room U and Bindu must live in room Q.
The arrangement will be as follows:
Case 2:
Amar lives in room T.
The areas of rooms in which Edward and Ganesh live is the same but the perimeters are different.
Edward and Ganesh are not neighbours. Amar and Edward are not neighbours. Faisal is not a neighbour of Amar or Edward and he does not live in the smallest room. Ganesh does not live in room Q. Therefore, Ganesh must live in room P and Edward must live in room V.
Ganesh and Faisal are neighbours of Deepak. The perimeter of the room in which Bindu lives is less than the perimeter of the room in which Charan lives. Therefore, the arrangement will be as follows:
The positions of all the 7 persons are different in the 2 cases. Therefore, we cannot determine the room in which the person lives for any person. Hence, option D is the right answer.
12) Answer (A)
Area of room T is 16 $m^2$.
One side of room T is 6 $m$ in length.
Therefore, the area of room S is 4.
It has been given that at 5 rooms have the same area and rooms P and R have the same area.
Rooms P, Q and R have the same area.
Area of room P + area of room Q = 32 $m^2$
Rooms P and Q share a wall.
Therefore, the lengths of rooms P and Q must be the same.
Let the length of room P be l.
Length of room U =length of room V = 2l
Let the width of room P be b.
lb = 16 ———(1)
Let the breadth of room U be ‘x’.
2lx = 16 ———–(2)
=> x = b/2.
The same can be said to be true with respect to room V as well.
Now, we know that b + b/2 + b/2 = 8
=> b = 8 and l = 4.
The length and breadth of all the rooms are as follows:
Amar has only 2 neighbours.
Amar can live in rooms P, V, S or T.
The areas of room assigned to Edward and Ganesh is the same but the perimeters are different.
Therefore, one of them must be living among rooms U, V and R and the other must be living in P or Q.
The perimeter of the room in which Amar lives is equal to the perimeter of the room in which Ganesh lives.
The perimeter of the room in which Ganesh lives can be 20 or 16.
Perimeter of room P, V, S and T are 16, 20, 8 and 16 respectively. Therefore, Amar cannot live in room S. It has been given that Amar does not live in Room P. Therefore, Amar can live in rooms V or T.
Case 1:
Amar lives in room V.
The areas of rooms in which Edward and Ganesh live is the same but the perimeters are different.
Edward and Ganesh are not neighbours. Amar and Edward are not neighbours. Therefore, Edward must live in room P and Ganesh must live in room R.
Faisal is not a neighbour of Amar or Edward. Faisal does not live in the smallest room. Therefore, Faisal must live in room T. Faisal and Ganesh are neighbours of Deepak. Therefore, Deepak must live in room S. The perimeter of the room in which Bindu lives is less than the perimeter of the room in which Charan lives. Therefore, Charan must live in room U and Bindu must live in room Q.
The arrangement will be as follows:
Case 2:
Amar lives in room T.
The areas of rooms in which Edward and Ganesh live is the same but the perimeters are different.
Edward and Ganesh are not neighbours. Amar and Edward are not neighbours. Faisal is not a neighbour of Amar or Edward and he does not live in the smallest room. Ganesh does not live in room Q. Therefore, Ganesh must live in room P and Edward must live in room V.
Ganesh and Faisal are neighbours of Deepak. The perimeter of the room in which Bindu lives is less than the perimeter of the room in which Charan lives. Therefore, the arrangement will be as follows:
Charan, Edward and Ganesh live in rooms of area 16 $m^2$ in both the cases. Therefore, Deepak is the odd one out and hence, option A is the right answer.
13) Answer (A)
The average value of A and B is equal to D. From pie chart, (108+36)/2= 72, (81+63)/2 = 72
Value of D = (72000/360)*72 = $14400
It is given that neither A nor B has the least holding initially. (A,B)= (72000/360)*63=$12600, (72000/360)*81=$16200 in any order
Value of C is greater than average of the rest of instruments, C = (72000/360)*108 = $21600
Value of E = (72000/360)*36 = $7200
Assuming return of 2014 is z, z can take values, 5,15,25,30,35.
Since the total sum of all the risks is equal to 0.5.
0.75+x+0.5+y-1.25 = 0.5 (Assume risk for the year 2014=x, risk for the year 2016=y)
=> x+y=0.5
|z|=20x
If |z|=5, x=0.25 y=0.25 (x cannot be equal to y)
If |z|=15, x=0.75 (x is already present in Table 1, hence rejected using statement 4)
If |z|=25, x=1.25 y=0 ((x is already present in Table 1, hence rejected using statement 4))
If |z|=30, x=1.5 y = -1 ……..(2)
If |z|=35, x=1.75 y=-1.25 (y is already present in Table 1, hence rejected using statement 4)
From (2), the value of risk for D = -1
A is the answer
14) Answer (B)
The average value of A and B is equal to D. From pie chart, (108+36)/2= 72, (81+63)/2 = 72
Value of D = (72000/360)*72 = $14400
It is given that neither A nor B has the least holding initially. (A,B)= (72000/360)*63=$12600, (72000/360)*81=$16200 in any order
Value of C is greater than average of the rest of instruments, C = (72000/360)*108 = $21600
Value of E = (72000/360)*36 = $7200
Assuming return of 2014 is z, z can take values, 5,15,25,30,35.
Since the total sum of all the risks is equal to 0.5.
0.75+x+0.5+y-1.25 = 0.5 (Assume risk for the year 2014=x, risk for the year 2016=y)
=> x+y=0.5
|z|=20x
If |z|=5, x=0.25 y=0.25 (x cannot be equal to y)
If |z|=15, x=0.75 (x is already present in Table 1, hence rejected using statement 4)
If |z|=25, x=1.25 y=0 ((x is already present in Table 1, hence rejected using statement 4))
If |z|=30, x=1.5 y = -1 ……..(2)
If |z|=35, x=1.75 y=-1.25 (y is already present in Table 1, hence rejected using statement 4)
Since 2014 had negative return, z=-30
Required ratio = (12600*(1+0.45*0.75)*(1-0.3*0.75))/(16200*(1+0.45*1.5)*(1-0.3*1.5)) = 0.88
B is the answer.
15) Answer (D)
The average value of A and B is equal to D. From pie chart, (108+36)/2= 72, (81+63)/2 = 72
Value of D = (72000/360)*72 = $14400
It is given that neither A nor B has the least holding initially. (A,B)= (72000/360)*63=$12600, (72000/360)*81=$16200 in any order
Value of C is greater than average of the rest of instruments, C = (72000/360)*108 = $21600
Value of E = (72000/360)*36 = $7200
Assuming return of 2014 is z, z can take values, 5,15,25,30,35.
Since the total sum of all the risks is equal to 0.5.
0.75+x+0.5+y-1.25 = 0.5 (Assume risk for the year 2014=x, risk for the year 2016=y)
=> x+y=0.5
|z|=20x
If |z|=5, x=0.25 y=0.25 (x cannot be equal to y)
If |z|=15, x=0.75 (x is already present in Table 1, hence rejected using statement 4)
If |z|=25, x=1.25 y=0 ((x is already present in Table 1, hence rejected using statement 4))
If |z|=30, x=1.5 y = -1 ……..(2)
If |z|=35, x=1.75 y=-1.25 (y is already present in Table 1, hence rejected using statement 4)
Hence z=30 or -30
Value of return for 2016 may be 5,15,25,35.
Since the risk for D =-1 (from 2)
Value(p) of D in 2016 will become p*(1-1*(Value of return for 2016 )/100)
Here to maximize the value of p, we take value of return for 2016 = 5%
D is the answer.
16) Answer (D)
The average value of A and B is equal to D. From pie chart, (108+36)/2= 72, (81+63)/2 = 72
Value of D = (72000/360)*72 = $14400
It is given that neither A nor B has the least holding initially. (A,B)= (72000/360)*63=$12600, (72000/360)*81=$16200 in any order
Value of C is greater than average of the rest of instruments, C = (72000/360)*108 = $21600
Value of E = (72000/360)*36 = $7200
Assuming return of 2014 is z, z can take values, 5,15,25,30,35.
Since the total sum of all the risks is equal to 0.5.
0.75+x+0.5+y-1.25 = 0.5 (Assume risk for the year 2014=x, risk for the year 2016=y)
=> x+y=0.5
|z|=20x
If |z|=5, x=0.25 y=0.25 (x cannot be equal to y)
If |z|=15, x=0.75 (x is already present in Table 1, hence rejected using statement 4)
If |z|=25, x=1.25 y=0 ((x is already present in Table 1, hence rejected using statement 4))
If |z|=30, x=1.5 y = -1 ……..(2)
If |z|=35, x=1.75 y=-1.25 (y is already present in Table 1, hence rejected using statement 4)
From (2), the value of risk for D = -1
Value of return for 2016 may be 5,15,25,35.
Since the risk for D =-1 (from 2)
The maximum ratio of return of C in year 2016 to the return(in dollars) of D in 2017 = (35*0.5/-10*-1) =1.75
Hence D is the answer.
17) Answer (C)
Let the revenue of the company in the year 2004 be 100x
The revenue of the company in the year 2005 = 100x+25% of 100x = 125x
Similarly, on calculating the revenue for all the years, we get
Revenue of the company in the year 2007 to 2011 is 100x: 200x
= 1:2
C is the correct answer.
18) Answer (C)
Let the revenue of the company in the year 2004 be 100x
The revenue of the company in the year 2005 = 100x+25% of 100x = 125x
Similarly, on calculating the revenue for all the years, we get
From the above table, it is clear that the company had the maximum revenue in the year 2010 and 2012 i.e 250x
250x = 250 mn
x = 1 million
The revenue of the year 2008 can be at most = 125 million
C is the correct answer.
19) Answer (B)
Let the revenue of the company in the year 2004 be 100x
The revenue of the company in the year 2005 = 100x+25% of 100x = 125x
Similarly, on calculating the revenue for all the years, we get
Now we have to find out a period of five years such that the maximum revenue during this period is 125 million
125x = 125 million because in rest of the five year periods the revenue is greater than 125x
x = 1 million
Maximum revenue of the company in the year 2019 is 126x = 126 million
B is the correct answer.
20) Answer (D)
Let the revenue of the company in the year 2004 be 100x
The revenue of the company in the year 2005 = 100x+25% of 100x = 125x
Similarly, on calculating the revenue for all the years, we get
Revenue of the company in the year 2007 = 100x
So in the years when the revenue of the company is greater than 125x, the company donated 10% of it to the charity
Total amount =15.625x +20x+25x+20x+25x+12.6x
=118.225x
The revenue in the year 2011 is 100 million, thus x=1/2
= 59.11 million
21) Answer (D)
Rural upper middle class households in the year 2013-14 = 90-30= 60
Total households in 2013-14 is 250000 + 102000 = 352000
So the required share is $\frac{60}{352000}*100$ = 0.017%
Hence option d is the correct answer.
22) Answer (B)
Actual upper middle-class population in 2014-15
= 38000 + 10000 = 48000
The bank which has predicted it most accurately is PNB.
23) Answer (B)
Number of middle-class people who had bank accounts in the year 2014-15 =
25600.
Total number of middle class households in the year 2014-15 = 1360*100 = 136000.
So the number of middle-class people who did not have a bank account = 136000-25600 = 110400
24) Answer (C)
The ratio of middle class households to the total number of people for each of the years is as follows.
2012-13 = $\frac{55000}{336000} $
2013-14 = $\frac{92000}{352000} $
2014-15 = $\frac{136000}{366000} $
Clearly we can see that the ratio is largest for the year 2014-15
25) Answer (C)
Total number of drinks which are sold = 7 + 12 + 8 + 9 + 5 + 6 + 11 + 8 + 7 + 13 = 86
Each student drinks at least 1 drink but less than 3 drinks. So a student either have 1 or 2 different drinks.
Number of students who have exactly 2 drinks = 4 + 11 + 2 + 1 + 12 + 7 = 37
Thus, number of students who came to canteen = 86 – 37 = 49
Hence, option C is the right choice.
26) Answer (D)
11 students drink both tea and milk. Also, 11 milk drinks were sold.
So all those who drank milk also drank tea.
So 5 boys drank milk and tea and, 6 girls drank milk and tea.
Further, it is known that the students who drink both Tea and Juice are boys.
So remaining 2 boys drank tea and juice.
Thus, the number of boys who drink tea-coffee and tea-soda is 0.
Hence, all the 4 students who drink tea and coffee must be girls.
Hence, option D is the right choice.
27) Answer: 8
11 students drink both tea and milk. Also, 11 milk drinks were sold.
So all those who drank milk also drank tea.
So 5 boys drank milk and tea and, 6 girls drank milk and tea.
Further, it is known that the students who drink both Tea and Juice are boys.
So remaining 2 boys drank tea and juice.
Thus, the number of boys who drink tea-coffee and tea-soda is 0.
Hence, all the 4 students who drink tea and coffee must be girls.
Further 12 students drink coffee and soda.
Out of the 9 girls who drink coffee, 4 drink tea and coffee.
Also, there are 7 boys who drink soda
So the only possibility is that out of the 12 students who drink coffee and soda, 7 are boys and 5 are girls.
Out of the 9 girls who drink coffee, 4 girls drink both coffee-tea and 5 girls drink both coffee-soda.
So one student who drinks coffee and juice must be a boy.
Now there are 7 students who drink juice and soda.
Since all 7 boys who drink soda also drink coffee.
All 7 students who drink both soda and juice must be girls.
So out of the 11 boys who drink juice, 1 boy drink juice-coffee and 2 boys drink juice-tea.
Thus, number of boys who drink only juice = 11 – 1 – 2 = 8
Hence, 8 boys drink only juice.
28) Answer: 1
11 students drink both tea and milk. Also, 11 milk drinks were sold.
So all those who drank milk also drank tea.
So 5 boys drank milk and tea and, 6 girls drank milk and tea.
Further, it is known that the students who drink both Tea and Juice are boys.
So remaining 2 boys drank tea and juice.
Thus, the number of boys who drink tea-coffee and tea-soda is 0.
Hence, all the 4 students who drink tea and coffee must be girls.
Further 12 students drink coffee and soda.
Out of the 9 girls who drink coffee, 4 drink tea and coffee.
Also, there are 7 boys who drink soda
So the only possibility is that out of the 12 students who drink coffee and soda, 7 are boys and 5 are girls.
Out of the 9 girls who drink coffee, 4 girls drink both coffee-tea and 5 girls drink both coffee-soda.
So one student who drinks coffee and juice must be a boy.
Now there are 7 students who drink juice and soda.
Since all 7 boys who drink soda also drink coffee.
All 7 students who drink both soda and juice must be girls.
So out of the 13 girls who drink soda, 7 girls drink soda-juice, and 5 girls drink soda-coffee.
Thus, number of girls who drink only soda = 13 – 7 – 5 = 1
Hence, 1 girl drink only soda.
29) Answer (C)
Let us indicate banks with lowest market cap to highest market cap as 1, 2, 3, 4, … 99, 100 respectively.
Number of banks with market capitalization of less than 175000 crores, P = 1 to 68
Number of banks with Gross NPA of at least 11%, Q = 43 to 100
Number of banks with net profit of less than 550 crore Rs, R = 1 to 77
Since ‘or’ is used in the question,
We have $P \bigcup Q \bigcup R $= 1 to 100
Hence, option C.
30) Answer (B)
Let us indicate banks with lowest market cap to highest market cap as 1, 2, 3, 4, … 99, 100 respectively.
Number of banks with market capitalization of at least 200000 crore Rs, P = 73 to 100
Number of banks with Gross NPA of Gross NPA of less than 19%, Q = 1 to 84
Number of banks with net profit of at least 400 crore Rs, R = 49 to 100
So $ P \bigcap Q \bigcap R $ = 73 to 84 i.e. 12 banks
31) Answer (A)
Let us indicate banks with lowest market cap to highest market cap as 1, 2, 3, 4, … 99, 100 respectively.
Number of banks with Gross NPA of Gross NPA of less than 9%, Q = 1 to 35
Number of banks with net profit of at least 300 crore Rs, R = 29 to 100
So the required number of banks are, $ Q \bigcap R $ = 29 to 35
Now from Table A we see that there are 44 banks with market capitalization of $\leq$ 124999 crore Rs, so the banks from 29 to 35 will definitely have market cap of $\leq$ 1249000 crore Rs
Also we see that, banks 25 to 100 have the market capitalization of $\geq$ 75000 crore Rs.
Hence, the range of market cap for banks from 29 to 35 can be from 75000 crores to Rs 124999 crore Rs (both values included)
Hence option A is not possible.
32) Answer (C)
Let us indicate banks with lowest market cap to highest market cap as 1, 2, 3, 4, … 99, 100 respectively.
Number of banks with Gross NPA of Gross NPA of less than 17%, Q = 1 to 79
Number of banks with net profit of at least 350 crore Rs, R = 38 to 100
So the required number of banks are, $ Q \bigcap R $ = 38 to 79 i.e. 42 Banks

Total number of goals scored by all the teams combined should be equal to the total number of goals conceded by all the teams combined.
Let us assume, the number of goals conceded by Belgium be ‘x’
Thus, we get
11+9+5+1+7+4 = 5+9+7+4+7+x
=> x = 5
Thus, the number of goals conceded by Belgium is 5.
As Belgium has got 3 points, and its goals for and goals against are not equal, it did not draw all its matches.
Thus, Belgium won 1 match and lost 2.
As Italy got 4 points, it won one game, drew one game and lost one game.
France scored 1, conceded 4 and won 1 game.
Now from the given table, we can understand that it won one game 1-0 and lost the other two 0-2.
From the third statement, we can understand that in the third round England has won the match 2-0 and in the other to matches it has scored 3 goals and conceded 7 goals.
So England lost the two matches by 2-4 and 1-3.
As the goal difference for any match is at most 2, Germany must have won its matches 4-2, 4-2 and 3-1.
Thus, France did not play Germany in the first three rounds.
Now we know that none of Germany, England, France and Belgium has drawn a match. Thus, Italy must have drawn its match with Spain.
From statements 1 and 2, we know that Spain played against Germany and England in rounds 1 and 2. Thus Spain played Italy in round 3.

The time a unit troop can survive is given in the following table:
A Rifleman will survive for 10 seconds and Zooka will survive for 4 seconds.
A rifleman can do the damage of 10*50= 500 units
We can calculate the total damage a troop can do per unit:
The fourth column represents the damage a troop can do / unit area it covers on the boat.
A tank can give total damage of 12000 units but covers 10 unit area, the damage per unit area = 12000/10=1200 units
Thus the highest damage can be done by Heavy or a Tank.
Two boats can carry 2 tanks thus the total damage will be of 24000 units.

Heavy, Warrior and Tank give much more damage than Rifleman and Zooka.
The advance boat can manage:
Case 1) 1Tanks (10) + 1 heavy (4) + 1 rifleman(1)
Total damage per boat: 12000+ 4800+ 500= 17300 units
Case 2) 3 heavy (4) + 1 Warrior (3)
Total damage per boat: 4800*3+ 3000= 17400 units
Case 2 will have more damage.
A standard boat will carry a tank which can give damage of 12000 units.
Total = 17400+12000=29400 units
OPTION B
44) Answer (A)
The time a troop can survive is given in the following table:
A Rifleman will survive for 10 seconds and Zooka will survive for 4 seconds.
A rifleman can do the damage of 10*50= 500 units
We can calculate the total damage a troop can do per unit:
The fourth column represents the damage a troop can do / unit area it covers on the boat.
A tank can give total damage of 12000 units but covers 10 unit area, the damage per unit area = 12000/10=1200 units
Zooka gives the damage of 800 units and covers the area of 2 unit size.
Thus 1 standard boat can carry 5 Zookas with the damage of 4000 units per boat.
To destroy the Enemy Tower of 25000 units he will require 25000/4000= 6.25 i.e 7 boats.
45) Answer (A)
The time a troop can survive is given in the following table:
A Rifleman will survive for 10 seconds and Zooka will survive for 4 seconds.
A rifleman can do the damage of 10*50= 500 units
We can calculate the total damage a troop can do per unit:
The fourth column represents the damage a troop can do / unit area it covers on the boat.
A tank can give total damage of 12000 units but covers 10 unit area, the damage per unit area = 12000/10=1200 units
2 advanced boats full of Zookas: (7 Zookas in each boat) Damage = 14*800= 11200 units
1 standard boat with two heavys and 1 Zooka: Damage = 2*4800+800= 10400 units
1 standard boat with 3 Warriors and one Rifleman:Damage = 3*3000+500= 9500 units
2 standard boats full of Riflemen:Damage = 20*500= 10000 units
Option A
46) Answer (C)
Total quantity of each ingredient used in preparing 1 litre of each type of ice-cream .
Caramel = 120 + 180 + 120 +150 +210 + 90 = 870 ml
Similarly we can calculate for all ingredients.
From the table we can see that with the help of 4140 ml ingredients we can make 1 litre ice-cream of each type. The seller sells in packet of 500 gms hence in 4140 ml ingredients the seller can make 2 packets of each type pf ice-cream. Therefore to create 1 packet of each type pf ice-cream the seller requires 2070 ml of ingredients.
Since we have to find out first an equal and maximum number of packets of each type of ice-cream.The maximum quantity of all ingredients(except milk) taken together available to seller is 14 litres.
Hence seller can make = $\frac{14000}{2120}$ = 6.76
Hence we can say that the seller can make 6 packets of each type of ice-cream and he will be left with = 14000 – 6*2070 = 1580 ml of ingredients.
To maximize the number of packets available to seller, he will make the ice-cream type which require minimum quantity of ingredients to prepare 1 packet.
We can see that American Jelly consists minimum quantity of ingredients in 1 packet that is = $\frac{510}{2}$ = 255 ml
Hence the number of packet of American Jelly that can be made by the remaining ingredients = $\frac{1580}{255}$ = 6.19
Hence we can say that the seller can make 12 packets of American jelly and 6 packets of each of the remaining type.
Therefore total number of packets that can be manufactured = 12 + 6*5 = 42 packets.
Hence option C is the correct answer.
47) Answer: 3
Total quantity of each ingredient used in preparing 1 litre of each type of ice-cream .
Caramel = 120 + 180 + 120 +150 +210 + 90 = 870 ml
Similarly we can calculate for all ingredients.
We are given that all ingredients are available in the same quantity. Hence maximum quantity of each ingredient available = 14/7 = 2 litres.
Since quantity of water required is maximum to create 1 packets of each type of ice-cream hence we can say that water is the limiting ingredient.
Hence an equal and maximum possible number of packets that can be prepared with the help of the ingredients = [$\frac{2000}{560}$] = 3.57
Therefore we can say that the seller can prepare 3-3 packets of each type of ice-creams.
48) Answer (D)
Total quantity of each ingredient used in preparing 1 litre of each type of ice-cream .
Caramel = 120 + 180 + 120 +150 +210 + 90 = 870 ml
Similarly we can calculate for all ingredients.
We can see that the seller require 2070 ml of ingredients to make 1 packet of each type of ice-cream. Hence to make 2 packets of each type seller will utilize 4140 ml of ingredients available.
With the remaining ingredients seller will prepare the ice-cream which consume minimum quantity of ingredients hence total number of maximum packets that seller can produce = 2*6 + $\frac{14000 – 4140}{255}$ = 50.66
Hence we can say that the seller can produce total 50 packets of ice-cream. Hence we can say that option D is the correct answer.
49) Answer (C)
Total quantity of each ingredient used in preparing 1 litre of each type of ice-cream .
Caramel = 120 + 180 + 120 +150 +210 + 90 = 870 ml
Similarly we can calculate for all ingredients.
The seller can prepare maximum number of packets if he makes just one packet of the ice-cream which require second lowest amount of ingredient. Rest ingredients will be utilised by seller to make ice-cream which require minimum quantity of ingredients.
Hence we can say that seller will create 1 packet of Sundae ice cream and with the rest of the ingredients he will make American Jelly.
Hence total number of packets = 1 + $\frac{14000 – 300}{255}$ = 54.72
Hence we can say that seller can prepare maximum of 54 packets. Therefore option C is the correct answer.
50) Answer (A)
Keats house had the highest number of students but its budget was not the highest. So, there were 70 members in Keats house. Also, the budget of Keats house was not the highest. If the amount collected per student in Keats house be Rs. 200 or Rs. 150, it would definitely have the highest budget. If the amount collected per student in Keats house be Rs. 130, the total budget would be Rs. 9100. In that case, the highest budget must be greater than Rs. 9100 which is only possible when the house having 50 students would have collected Rs. 200 per student.
The budget of the Russel house was Rs. 500 more than the budget of Orwell house but Rs. 500 less than the budget of Shelley house. If the amount collected per student from the house which had 40 students be Rs. 130, the total budget of the house would be Rs. 5200 and in that case, the budget of the other two houses must be Rs. 4700 and Rs. 4200 which is not possible. Similarly, the cases in which the house having 40 students collect Rs. 110 and Rs. 75, will also be rejected.
If the amount collected per student in Keats house be Rs. 110, the total budget would be Rs. 7700. In this case also, the highest budget must be greater than Rs. 7700 which is only possible when the house having 50 students would have collected Rs. 200 per student. Again, we know this case is not possible.
So, the amount collected per student in Keats house must be Rs. 75.
The house which collected the least amount per student had the second highest budget. So, Keats house must had the second highest budget. Therefore, only one house had budget greater than Rs. 5250. We know that the budget of the house having 50 students had budget greater than Rs. 5250, in any case. The houses having 30 and 40 students could not collect Rs. 200 per student because the total budget would have exceeded Rs. 5250. So, either the house having 25 students or the house having 50 students would have collected Rs. 200 per student.
Let us assume that the house having 50 students collected Rs. 200 per student. In that case, the total budget would be Rs. 10000. For the second case to be valid, the other houses must have budget equal to Rs. 4750 and Rs. 4250 which is not possible. Also, if the second condition cannot be fulfilled by other three houses. So, our assumption is not correct.
So, the house having 25 students must have collected Rs. 200 per student.
We have already seen that the second condition cannot be fulfilled taking Rs. 5250 into consideration. To fulfill the second condition, only one case is possible:
From the table we can see that the Orwell house had the minimum budget.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
51) Answer (D)

Similarly, the cases in which the house having 40 students collect Rs. 110 and Rs. 75, will also be rejected.
If the amount collected per student in Keats house be Rs. 110, the total budget would be Rs. 7700. In this case also, the highest budget must be greater than Rs. 7700 which is only possible when the house having 50 students would have collected Rs. 200 per student. Again, we know this case is not possible.
So, the amount collected per student in Keats house must be Rs. 75.
The house which collected the least amount per student had the second highest budget. So, Keats house must had the second highest budget. Therefore, only one house had budget greater than Rs. 5250. We know that the budget of the house having 50 students had budget greater than Rs. 5250, in any case. The houses having 30 and 40 students could not collect Rs. 200 per student because the total budget would have exceeded Rs. 5250.

Let us assume that the house having 50 students collected Rs. 200 per student. In that case, the total budget would be Rs. 10000. For the second case to be valid, the other houses must have budget equal to Rs. 4750 and Rs. 4250 which is not possible. Also, if the second condition cannot be fulfilled by other three houses. So, our assumption is not correct.
So, the house having 25 students must have collected Rs. 200 per student.
We have already seen that the second condition cannot be fulfilled taking Rs. 5250 into consideration. To fulfill the second condition, only one case is possible:
From the table, we can see that the budget of Eliot house was Rs. 5200
Hence, option D is the correct answer.

In this case also, the highest budget must be greater than Rs. 7700 which is only possible when the house having 50 students would have collected Rs. 200 per student. Again, we know this case is not possible.
So, the amount collected per student in Keats house must be Rs. 75.
The house which collected the least amount per student had the second highest budget. So, Keats house must had the second highest budget. Therefore, only one house had budget greater than Rs. 5250. We know that the budget of the house having 50 students had budget greater than Rs. 5250, in any case. The houses having 30 and 40 students could not collect Rs. 200 per student because the total budget would have exceeded Rs. 5250.

For the second case to be valid, the other houses must have budget equal to Rs. 4750 and Rs. 4250 which is not possible. Also, if the second condition cannot be fulfilled by other three houses. So, our assumption is not correct.
So, the house having 25 students must have collected Rs. 200 per student.
We have already seen that the second condition cannot be fulfilled taking Rs. 5250 into consideration. To fulfill the second condition, only one case is possible:
From the table, we can see that Rs. 200 was collected from each student in Russell house.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
54) Answer: 9
The difference between the number of sports liked by Dinesh and Chetan is equal to the number of sports liked by Akhil. and Chetan likes all sports except hockey. So, Chetan likes 4 sports. Then, we have the following possibilities of number of sports liked by each friend.
It is given that the sum of the number of sports liked by Bhanu and esha is greater than 5. So, case I is not possible.
Akhil and Esha like cricket and Akhil and Bhanu together like a sport which is not cricket. From this, we can infer that Akhil likes at least 2 sports. So, case II is also not possible.Thus, Akhil likes 3 sports.
Now, if Akhil and Bhanu together like only one sport, Bhanu cannot like 5 sports. Therefore, Esha likes 5 sports and Bhanu likes 2 sports. We get the following table:
Tennis and badminton are liked by an equal number of friends. Akhil and Bhanu together like only one sport other than cricket. So, that sport must be football. If that sport is either tennis or badminton, then football would not be the most liked. Also, that sport cannot be hockey because then hockey would not be the least liked.
Now, we have to adjust Akhil, Bhanu and Dinesh in the above table. Akhil and Bhanu cannot be together as they already together like football. So, there are three possibilities:
The sum of the number of friends who like football, tennis and hockey is all the three cases is 9.
Hence, 9 is the correct answer.

58) Answer: 1420
The following table gives the details of the coupon codes:
Aman wanted to book two tickets in the month of May, both of Rs 1200.
The promo code DISCOBUS will not be applicable to a single ticket. If he buys both the tickets in a single transaction to apply DISCOBUS then the GoCash coins are not useful.
As we apply Cashback option for the first ticket, we have to pay less for the second ticket. Thus the coupons as G40 and FLAT 500 cannot be applied to the next ticket due to the Minimum Transaction criteria.
He should apply either the discount coupons to both the tickets or Cash coupons to the first ticket. These cases are possible:
1. SUMMER BUS on the first ticket and GOBABA25 on the second ticket.
2. GO40 on the first ticket and FLAT500 on the second.
Case 1:
SUMMER BUS on the first ticket will return 50% of Rs 1200 i.e. coins worth Rs 600 on the wallet.
For the next ticket, he has to pay Rs 1200- Rs 600= Rs 600.
GOBABA25 will give a 25% discount, thus he has to pay 75% of 600 i.e Rs 450.
A total of 1200+450= Rs1650.
Case 2:
GO40 on the first ticket will give a discount of 40%. i.e. 40% of Rs 1200 = Rs 480.
Aman has to pay Rs 1200-480= Rs 720.
FLAT500 will give Rs 500 discount, thus he has to pay 1200-500= Rs 700
A total of 720+700= Rs1420.
Rs 1420 will be the minimum amount Aman has to pay.
59) Answer: 3400
The following table gives the details of the coupon codes:
The actual value of tickets for Bala in total = 4*1400= Rs 5600
DISCOBUS gives the highest percentage of cashback.
DISCOBUS: Cashback of 75% on the whole amount is of no avail as the GoCash will expire at the end of the month.
Thus he should do a partial transaction with the promo code DISCOBUS.
Case 1. DISCOBUS on 3 tickets and 1 ticket bought with the GoCash coins.
Amount paid = 3*1400= Rs 4200
GoCash recieved= 75% of 4200= Rs 3150 or Rs 2000 (minimum value of the two)
The fourth ticket can be bought with the GoCash in the wallet.
Total amount paid= Rs 4200.
Case 2. DISCOBUS on 2 tickets and 2 tickets bought with the GoCash coins.
Amount paid = 2*1400= Rs 2800
GoCash recieved= 75% of 2800= Rs 2100 or Rs 2000 (minimum value of the two).
The wallet will have Rs 2000 worth of GoCash.
For the next two tickets total value of the ticket= 2* Rs1400= Rs 2800.
The GoCash can be utilised of Rs 2000
Rupees= 2800-2000= Rs 800
Apply promo code GoBABA25 and get 25% discount.
i.e. 25% of 800= Rs 200
Rupees he has to pay = 800-200= Rs 600
The total amount he has to pay:
Rs 2800+ Rs 600 = Rs 3400
60) Answer (A)
The following table gives the details of the coupon codes:
GO40 gives a discount of 40% till Rs 1000.
GOBABA25 gives a discount of 25% till Rs 2000.
The maximum discount which GO40 can give is Rs1000.
Thus x*25/100 =1000
x= Rs 4000
On Rs 4000 both the coupon codes will give a discount of Rs 1000.
61) Answer (B)
The following table gives the details of the coupon codes:
Vidya applied only one promo code thus she should use DISCOBUS in order to maximise the discount.
Case 1
If she applied the coupon for 10 tickets, the transaction amount will be= 10*200= Rs2000
Cashback will be 75 % of the total. Thus 75/100*2000= Rs1500
For the next transaction, she has to pay = 2000-1500= Rs500
Total amount=2000+500= Rs2500
Case 2
If she applied the coupon for 11 tickets, the transaction amount will be= 11*200= Rs2200
Cashback will be 75 % of the total. Thus 75/100*2200= Rs1650
For the next transaction, she has to pay = 1800-1650= Rs150
Total amount=2200+150= Rs2350
Case 3
If she applied the coupon for 12 tickets, the transaction amount will be= 12*200= Rs2400
Cashback will be 75 % of the total. Thus 75/100*2000= Rs1800
For the next transaction, she has to pay = 1600-1800= -200
Total amount= Rs 2400
Case 2 is the minimum.
62) Answer: 12
We can select the engineers who will take the minimum time to complete each process. Also, we will try to maintain that less number of engineers should be repeated to complete the stages.
The following table represents the engineers who take the least and the most time to complete a stage:
F and D will work on the first two stages respectively.
D cannot work on the third stage as the employees cannot work in consecutive stages.
F-D-A___
Now, A, C and E, can complete stage 4 in the least amount of time.
But we cannot select A as the stages will repeat.
C will work in stage 6 as F will repeat as stage and thus will take one extra hour.
Thus the sequence of work will be :
F-D-A-E-B-C
The number of hours they will take:
1+2+1+4+2+2=12 hours.
63) Answer (D)
We can select the engineers who will take the minimum time to complete each process. Also, we will try to maintain that less number of engineers should be repeated to complete the stages.
The following table represents the engineers who take the least and the most time to complete a stage:
F and D will work on the first two stages respectively.
D cannot work on the third stage as the employees cannot work in consecutive stages.
F-D-A___
Now, A, C and E, can complete stage 4 in the least amount of time.
But we cannot select A as the stages will repeat.
C will work in stage 6 as F will repeat as stage and thus will take one extra hour.
Thus the sequence of work will be :
F-D-A-E-B-C
Option D: Engineer E
64) Answer (B)
We can select the engineers who will take the maximum time to complete each process. Also, we will try to maintain that more number of engineers should be repeated to complete the stages.
The following table represents the engineers who take the least and the most time to complete a stage:
D, F and C are the best options to work on the first three stages respectively.
D cannot work on the sixth stage as the engineer cannot work in consecutive stages.
In stage 4, F takes the most time and D take 1 hr less than F. If D works in stage 4 then we can take F in stage 5.
We have the following two options:
D-F-C-F-D-A
The number of hours taken:5+5+3+(7+1)+(5+1)+5=32 hrs
or
D-F-C-D-F-D
The number of hours taken:5+5+3+(6+1)+(4+1)+(5+1)=31 hrs
Thus, D-F-C-F-D-A is the order which will take the most number of hours.

66) Answer (C)
Since the work of P is independent of other stages and P
works to its full capacity on all days and all other units works on full
capacity on Monday, the starting point of production for each day is shown:
The capacity of Q on Tuesday is 300 but it is delivered only
200 units, thus 200 units will be processed by Q on Tuesday. The capacity of S
on Tuesday is 200 but it is delivered 300 units. So only 200 units are
processed by S on Tuesday, the remaining 100 units would be processed by S on
Wednesday. In this manner, the number of processed and unprocessed chips can be
calculated for each day. The table for
the processed chips is as shown:
The unfinished chips are shown in brackets.
From the table, we can see that S has 200 unfinished chips on Friday.

From the data given in the question we know that the number of electives V has with the other friends is 2,3 or 4. Thus, using information from (v) we can conclude that V has either 2 elective with P and 3 elective with U or 3 elective with P and 4 elective with U. Also, using information from (ii), (iii) and (iv) we can make the following table:
From the question, T has 2 electives common with only 1 friend. So, T-V = 4. Thus, V-U will be having only 3 electives in common => V-P has only 2 elective in common.
It is given that U has same number of electives with V, P and Q. Since, V-U is 3, U-P and U-Q will also be 3. From, (i) P should have 2, 3 and 4 electives common with 2 friends each. Thus, P should have either 4 or 3 electives common with Q. As Q can only have 3 electives common with 2 other people, Q and P must have 4 electives in common and P and R must have 3 electives in common. The table is as follows:
If we observe column Q, he can take either 4 or 2 with S as he already has 3 electives common with 2 other people. Also, from row S we can observe that S can take either 2 or 3 electives with Q. Thus, Q-S must have 2 electives in common. Thus, S-U must have 3 electives in common has S should have 3 electives common with 2 people.

74) Answer (D)
Let the number of members of MUN be x and of Maths club be a.
Hence, 20% of a > 35% of x
=> a > x
Thus, the number of members of Maths club is greater than that of MUN club.
Similarly, the winning students of the quiz club, maths club, english club, physics club, singing club and the dance club have less percentage of votes than the winning student from MUN and still have more number of votes than him.
So, these 6 clubs must have more total number of votes.
75) Answer (B)
Here, we need to consider those clubs whose winning candidates have high percentage of votes.
Chess club – 275 votes => max votes = 275/0.5 = 550 votes => winning candidate secured 220 votes
MUN – 350 votes => max votes = 350/0.5 = 700 => winning candidate secured 245 votes
Singing club – 375 votes => max votes = 375/0.5 = 750 => winning candidate secured 206 votes
Dance club – 400 votes => max votes = 400/0.5 = 800 => winning candidate secured 200 votes
=> MUN candidate secured highest number of votes.
76) Answer (D)
As the total number of votes in each of these clubs is not given and cannot be found, we cannot determine the club in which the winning student secured the highest number of votes.
Hence, the answer is cannot be determined.
77) Answer (B)
To get the maximum ratio, we need to maximize the numerator and minimize the denominator.
Let x% be the voting percentage of dance club and y% the voting percentage of the maths club. We know that 80% <= x% ,y% <=100%
Hence, reqd ratio = (400/x%) / (200/y%)
For numerator to be max, x should be 80% and for denominator to be min, y should be 100%.
Hence, required ratio = (400/80%) / (200/100%) = 500/200 = 2.5
78) Answer: 194
Let us assume that the total number of times the target was hit is ‘x’ and the total number of people who participated in the trials is ‘y’. Now, there are
y – 21 people who have hit 3 or more targets.
Hence, total number of targets that these people who have hit = (y – 21)*7
Thus, total number of times the target was hit by all the people taken together = 0*11 + 1*6 + 2*4 + (y – 21)*7 = 6 + 8 + 7y – 147
So we have,
7y – 133 = x
Now, we have also been given that the people who hit 12 or fewer targets, hit 6 targets on an average. Hence, we have
(y – 8)*6 + 13*4 + 14*3 + 15*1 = x
=> 6y – 48 + 52 + 42 + 15 = x
=> 6y + 61 = x
Solving the two equations, we get
y = 194
Hence, x = 1225
Thus, we can see that 194 people participated in the event.
79) Answer: 1225
Let us assume that the total number of times the target was hit is ‘x’ and the total number of people who participated in the trials is ‘y’. Now, there are
y – 21 people who have hit 3 or more targets.
Hence, total number of targets that these people who have hit = (y – 21)*7
Thus, total number of times the target was hit by all the people taken together = 0*11 + 1*6 + 2*4 + (y – 21)*7 = 6 + 8 + 7y – 147
So we have,
7y – 133 = x
Now, we have also been given that the people who hit 12 or fewer targets, hit 6 targets on an average. Hence, we have
(y – 8)*6 + 13*4 + 14*3 + 15*1 = x
=> 6y – 48 + 52 + 42 + 15 = x
=> 6y + 61 = x
Solving the two equations, we get
y = 194
Hence, x = 1225
Thus, we can see that the target was hit a total of 1225 times.
80) Answer (C)
The participants who hit fewer than 4 targets are the one with 0,1,2,3 targets hit (i.e 11,6,4,18) and the number of people who hit more than 12 targets are the one with 13,14,15 target hits (i.e 4,3,1).
The number of people who participated in first round but not in second round = 11 + 6 + 4 + 18 + 4 + 3 + 1 = 47
So the total of 47 people will not participate in the second round.
Hence, the median score will be the score of the middle (24th) person. The person will be in the group of 3 target hit. Thus, the median score will be 3.
81) Answer (B)
Let us assume that the total number of times the target was hit is ‘x’ and the total number of people who participated in the trials is ‘y’. Now, there are
y – 21 people who have hit 3 or more targets.
Hence, total number of targets that these people who have hit = (y – 21)*7
Thus, total number of times the target was hit by all the people taken together = 0*11 + 1*6 + 2*4 + (y – 21)*7 = 6 + 8 + 7y – 147
So we have,
7y – 133 = x
Now, we have also been given that the people who hit 12 or fewer targets, hit 6 targets on an average. Hence, we have
(y – 8)*6 + 13*4 + 14*3 + 15*1 = x
=> 6y – 48 + 52 + 42 + 15 = x
=> 6y + 61 = x
Solving the two equations, we get
y = 194
Hence, x = 1225
Now from the given distribution, we can see that the number of people who hit the target 5 to 12 times = 194 – 11 – 4 – 6 – 18 – 4 – 3 – 1 – 9 = 194 – 56 = 138
The total number of targets hit by these people will be = 1225 – 11*0 + 1*6 + 2*4 + 3*18 + 4*9 + 13*4 + 14*3 + 15*1 = 6 + 8 + 54 + 36 + 52 + 42 + 15 = 1225 – 213 = 1012
Hence, the required average = 1012/138 = 7.33.
82) Answer (C)
It is given that 20% of the total applicants are from engineering background.
Therefore, the percentage of applicants from commerce and science backgrounds is 80%.
Let the proportion of commerce students be ‘k’
The proportion of science students is (0.8-k)
Let us consider the last column.
The total number of students of neither CFA nor FRM certification holders (i.e. 20% of total) constitutes 40% from engineering, 20% from commerce and 10% from science.
=> 40% from engineering + 20% from commerce + 10% from science = 20% of total
=> (0.4)(0.2)+k(0.2)+(0.8-k)(0.1) = 0.2
=> k = 0.4
Therefore, the proportion of total applicants from science background is 0.4
We have the following table.
A = 2600-1200-800 = 600
=> B = 600+600+400-1000 = 600
C = 2000-1200+200-400 = 600

E = 2800-600-600 = 1600
F = 1400-600-200 = 600
Required percentage = $\frac{G}{5000}*100 = 56$%

There are 600 from engineering background who are freshers.
Among the 600 from engineering background who do not have CFA certification, all of them also have FRM certification and are freshers.
Therefore there are no experienced CFA certification holders among students from engineering background.
86) Answer (A)
Case 1:Let us consider Reena as Truthteller
Bibila’s car is Red coloured.
Bablu’s car is neither Black nor Blue: Red /Violet
Since Red is Babila’s car, Bablu’s car is violet coloured
Reena and Veena will own Black/Blue coloured car in any order, which will negate the condition that for one among them the colour of the car, brand and name starts with the same letter.
Case 2:Let us consider Veena as Truthteller
When the prices are divided by 100000, possible values 2,3,5,7, and since the prices are a 7-digited prime number, Only possible values are 23,37,53,73,97.
Bablu is an alternator.
Babila is neither truthteller nor alternator. So Babila can be either Liar/None.
Reena can be liar/Alternator/truthteller/none
Bablu’s car price is not 7300000.
Bablu’s first statement is true So if he is alternator the sequence of statements (T, F, T, F)
Bablu’s car price can be 23/37/53.
Veena owns a blue coloured car which can be priced 37/53/73.
From Bablu’s 4th statement, Reena cannot be a liar.
Since there has to be atleast one liar among them, Babila is the liar.
Let’s consider Babila’s statements.
$2^{nd}$ statement says Veena +Babila cars prices sums to 76 which is not possible.
Hence our initial consideration that Veena is truthteller is false.
Case 3:Lets consider Babila as truthteller.
Babila owns a red coloured car of price 23000000
Veena is an alternator who owns a car priced 53000000
If Veena is an alternator and her $1^{st}$ statement is true so the sequence should be (T, F, T, F)
$3^{rd}$ statement says Babila is neither truthteller nor alternator which contradicts our assumption.
Case 4: Bablu is truthteller.
Bablu’s car price is 7300000
Veena owns a Blue coloured car whose price may be 37/53 lakhs.
Reena is a liar.
From Reena’s 1st statement, Veena’s car price is 53 lakh.
Bablu’s car is either Blue or black. Since Veena owns a Blue car, Bablu’s car is Black.
Babila owns Violet coloured car. Reena owns Red coloured car.
Since Veena’s first statement is true, the second statement is false, and the fourth statement is false Veena
Veena can be an alternator or none.
If Veena is an alternator.
Babila is None among them, i.e. her statements can be any order.
The following cases are possible.
Since Babila’s first statement is false fourth statement is true.
So second third statements can be either (FT),(FF),(TT)
when Second, third statements are F, T
when Second third statements are F,F
When second,third statements are TT
~Renault means, Reena doesnt own renault.
When Veena is None, and Babila is an alternator.
Babila cannot be an alternator because her fourth statement is False, which means her first statement should be true but which is false.
Hence contradictory.
We can see that Bablu is truthteller.
A is the correct answer.

$2^{nd}$ statement says Veena +Babila cars prices sums to 76 which is not possible.
Hence our initial consideration that Veena is truthteller is false.
Case 3:Lets consider Babila as truthteller.
Babila owns a red coloured car of price 23000000
Veena is an alternator who owns a car priced 53000000
If Veena is an alternator and her $1^{st}$ statement is true so the sequence should be (T, F, T, F)
$3^{rd}$ statement says Babila is neither truthteller nor alternator which contradicts our assumption.
Case 4: Bablu is truthteller.
Bablu’s car price is 7300000
Veena owns a Blue coloured car whose price may be 37/53 lakhs.
Reena is a liar.
From Reena’s 1st statement, Veena’s car price is 53 lakh.
Bablu’s car is either Blue or black. Since Veena owns a Blue car, Bablu’s car is Black.
Babila owns Violet coloured car. Reena owns Red coloured car.
Since Veena’s first statement is true, the second statement is false, and the fourth statement is false Veena
Veena can be an alternator or none.
If Veena is an alternator.
Babila is None among them, i.e. her statements can be any order.
The following cases are possible.
Since Babila’s first statement is false fourth statement is true.
So second third statements can be either (FT),(FF),(TT)
when Second, third statements are F, T
when Second third statements are F,F
When second,third statements are TT
~Renault means, Reena doesnt own renault.
When Veena is None, and Babila is an alternator.
Babila cannot be an alternator because her fourth statement is False, which means her first statement should be true but which is false.
Hence contradictory.
The person who owns cheapest car cannot be certainly determined.
D is the correct answer.
88) Answer (B)
Case 1:Let us consider Reena as Truthteller
Bibila’s car is Red coloured.
Bablu’s car is neither Black nor Blue: Red /Violet
Since Red is Babila’s car, Bablu’s car is violet coloured
Reena and Veena will own Black/Blue coloured car in any order, which will negate the condition that for one among them the colour of the car, brand and name starts with the same letter.
Case 2:Let us consider Veena as Truthteller
When the prices are divided by 100000, possible values 2,3,5,7, and since the prices are a 7-digited prime number, Only possible values are 23,37,53,73,97.
Bablu is an alternator.
Babila is neither truthteller nor alternator. So Babila can be either Liar/None.
Reena can be liar/Alternator/truthteller/none
Bablu’s car price is not 7300000.
Bablu’s first statement is true So if he is alternator the sequence of statements (T, F, T, F)
Bablu’s car price can be 23/37/53.
Veena owns a blue coloured car which can be priced 37/53/73.
From Bablu’s 4th statement, Reena cannot be a liar.
Since there has to be atleast one liar among them, Babila is the liar.
Let’s consider Babila’s statements.
$2^{nd}$ statement says Veena +Babila cars prices sums to 76 which is not possible.
Hence our initial consideration that Veena is truthteller is false.
Case 3:Lets consider Babila as truthteller.

Veena is an alternator who owns a car priced 53000000
If Veena is an alternator and her $1^{st}$ statement is true so the sequence should be (T, F, T, F)
$3^{rd}$ statement says Babila is neither truthteller nor alternator which contradicts our assumption.
Case 4: Bablu is truthteller.
Bablu’s car price is 7300000
Veena owns a Blue coloured car whose price may be 37/53 lakhs.
Reena is a liar.
From Reena’s 1st statement, Veena’s car price is 53 lakh.
Bablu’s car is either Blue or black. Since Veena owns a Blue car, Bablu’s car is Black.
Babila owns Violet coloured car. Reena owns Red coloured car.
Since Veena’s first statement is true, the second statement is false, and the fourth statement is false Veena
Veena can be an alternator or none.
If Veena is an alternator.
Babila is None among them, i.e. her statements can be any order.
The following cases are possible.
Since Babila’s first statement is false fourth statement is true.
So second third statements can be either (FT),(FF),(TT)
when Second, third statements are F, T
when Second third statements are F,F
When second,third statements are TT
~Renault means, Reena doesnt own renault.
When Veena is None, and Babila is an alternator.
Babila cannot be an alternator because her fourth statement is False, which means her first statement should be true but which is false.
Hence contradictory.
Therefore Bablu is truthteller, Reena is a liar, Veena is an alternator and Babila does not belong to any category…
If Babila lies more number of times than she speaks the truth.
Then her second and third statements should be False. She lies 3 out of 4 times
So Bablu owns Volvo.

C is the correct answer.
90) Answer (B)
It is given that 50 students are selected in each pair of firms. So 50 students must be selected by AB, AC, AD, BC, BD and CD.
But we only want to know about the students selected by A.
It is also given that 30 students were selected by all the companies.
So 50-30 = 20 students were selected by each of AB, AC, AD.
Total number of students selected by A = 230.
Students selected in one more company other than A (i.e. AB, AC, AD) = 20+20+20 = 60.
Students selected by 3 companies = 0. As given in the question.
Students selected in all 4 companies = 30.
Thus the number of students who have offer from only company A = 230 – 60 – 30 = 140.
Hence percentage = 140/230 = 60.86%
91) Answer (D)
Number of students selected by all 4 firms = 30
Number of students selected by 3 firms = 0
Number of students selected by each pair of 2 firms = 50
So, the number of students who were selected by exactly 2 firms for each pair = 50-0-30 = 20.
Students selected by only one firm = (230-20-20-20-30)+(180-20-20-20-30)+(180-20-20-20-30)+(220-20-20-20-30)
= 140+90+90+130 = 450
Students selected by exactly 2 firms = 6 * 20 = 120
Students selected by exactly 3 firms = 0
Students selected by 4 firms = 30
Hence, total number of students selected = 450 + 120 + 0 + 30 = 600
Hence, total number students = 600 / 80% = 750
Hence, total number of students rejected = 750 – 600 = 150
92) Answer (C)
Number of students selected by all 4 firms = 30
Number of students selected by 3 firms = 0
Number of students selected by each pair of 2 firms = 50
So, the number of students who were selected by exactly 2 firms for each pair = 50-0-30 = 20.
Students selected by only one firm = (230-20-20-20-30)+(180-20-20-20-30)+(180-20-20-20-30)+(220-20-20-20-30)
= 140+90+90+130 = 450
93) Answer (B)
Number of students selected by all 4 firms = 30
Number of students selected by 3 firms = 0
Number of students selected by each pair of 2 firms = 50
So, the number of students who were selected by exactly 2 firms for each pair = 50-0-30 = 20.
Hence, only B = (180-20-20-20-30) = 90
Hence, only C = (180-20-20-20-30) = 90
Difference = 90 – 90 = 0
Alternate Solution:
Using Venn Diagram
Here, a+30 = 50, b+30 = 50, c+30 = 50, d+30 = 50, e+30 = 50, f+30 = 50
=> a = b = c = d = e= f= 20
Now, g+20+20+20+30 =230 => g = 140
h+20+20+20+30 =180 => h = 90
i+20+20+20+30 =180 => i =90
j+20+20+20+30 =220 => j = 130
Required difference = 90-90 = 0
94) Answer (B)
The amount charged by the company per square unit grid for the box:
1) A: Rs 200 for 7 units. Rs 28.58/grid unit
2) B: Rs 75 for 3 units. Rs 25 /grid unit
3) C: Rs 100 for 6 units. Rs 16.66/grid unit
4) D: Rs 80 for 4 units. Rs 20/grid unit
5) E: Rs 160 for 9 units. Rs 17.77/grid unit
6) F: Rs 60 for 2 units. Rs 30/grid unit
Thus F is the costliest option per unit grid cell, while C is the cheapest delivery option.
Option B is correct.
95) Answer (B)
The boxes can be arranged as:
Thus the amount charged for the van full of box A = 7*200=Rs 1400
Thus the amount charged for the van full of box F = 24*60=Rs 1440
Difference= Rs 40
Option B
96) Answer (A)
The amount charged by the company per square unit grid for the box:
1) A: Rs 200 for 7 units. Rs 28.58/grid unit
2) B: Rs 75 for 3 units. Rs 25 /grid unit
3) C: Rs 100 for 6 units. Rs 16.66/grid unit
4) D: Rs 80 for 4 units. Rs 20/grid unit
5) E: Rs 160 for 9 units. Rs 17.77/grid unit
6) F: Rs 60 for 2 units. Rs 30/grid unit
Thus F is the costliest option, while C is the cheapest delivery option.
As the box types, C and E are the cheapest for the customer, thus there should be more number of such boxes.
Following floor plan is the cheapest possible arrangement for the boxes:
Thus the amount charged = 200+2*160+4*100= Rs 920
Option A.
97) Answer (C)
Option A: Box B and Box C
Total number of unit grids = 49
The number of grids covered by B and C is 3 and 6 respectively.
Any combination of B and C will be a multiple of 3 and the number of grids is 49(not a multiple of 3).
Thus Option A is incorrect.
Option B: Box C and Box D
The number of grids covered by C and D is 6 and 4 respectively.
Any combination of D and C will be a multiple of 2 and the number of grids is 49(not a multiple of 2).
Thus Option B is incorrect.
Option C: Box F and Box E
The number of grids covered by F and E is 2 and 9 respectively.
We can arrange the boxes as given below:
Option D: Box F and Box D
The number of grids covered by F and D is 2 and 4 respectively.
Any combination of B and C will be a multiple of 2 and the number of grids is 49(not a multiple of 2).
Thus Option D is incorrect.
Option C is the correct option.
98) Answer (D)
Queen can attack the red boxes, The knight can attack the queen from Yellow boxes.
Thus,
From the diagram, we can see that the number of positions that are safe 28. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
99) Answer (D)
A Knight at a white box can attack only grey boxes as given below. Similarly, a knight at a grey box can attack only white boxes.
Thus we can place 32 knights in an empty chessboard, such that they cannot attack each other.
If we place Queen at b7 then most of the boxes covered by the queen will be white, hence we can position knight at grey boxes.
From the figure, we can place knights at 24 boxes.
100) Answer (B)
We can place 13 knights.
Option B
101) Answer (C)
The queen at e7 can attack 5 knights.
Option C
