Given below are two statements:
Statement I : A bag captains 10 white and 10 red face masks which are all mixed up. The fewest number of face masks you can take from a bag without looking and be sure to get a pair of the same color is 3.
Statement II: The minimum number of students needed in a class to guarantee that there are at least 6 students whose birthdays fall in the same month, is 61.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the option given below:
Solution
Statement 1
After drawing 3 masks, there can be 2 combinations possible -All three are of same color or two are of same color and 1 is of different color. Hence we can ensure that we can get two masks of same color after drawing 3 masks, randomly.
If we draw less than 3 masks i.e. 2 masks , there is a possibility of both the masks being of different color hence we can't ensure that these masks can be of different color, hence the minimum number of masks we need to draw is 3.
Statement 2
To calculate the minimum number of students required, we need to consider the worst case scenario i.e. the birthdays of students are evenly spread across all the 12 months. We'll have to assume that there are atleast 5 birthday is each month, so the total number of students required = 5* 12 = 60. To assure that there is 1 month in which we have 6 birthdays, we'll have to add 1 to this number, hence the minimum number of students required = 60 + 1 = 61

Find the share of profit of A in the total annual profit of ₹ 256.
Solution
Profits of A and B will be in the ratio of investments, i.e. 4500:2700 = 5:3
Total profit = Rs 256
A's profit = $$\frac{5}{8}\left(256\right)=5\left(32\right)$$ = Rs 160
The answer is option C.
Given below are two statements:
Statement I : The difference between the cost price and sale price of an article is ₹ 240. If the profit is 20%, then the selling price is ₹ 1440.
Statement II: If the cost price of 10 DVDs is equal to the selling price of 7 DVDs, then the gain percent is $$42\frac{6}{7}%$$
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Solution
Statement I:
It is given, profit percentage = 20%
This implies, $$SP=\frac{120}{100}CP$$
It is given, $$\frac{120}{100}CP-CP=240$$
$$\frac{20}{100}CP=240$$
$$CP=1200$$
SP = 1200+240 = Rs 1440
Therefore, statement I is correct.
Statement II:
It is given,
10CP = 7SP
Profit % = $$\ \frac{\ SP-CP}{CP}\times100=\frac{300}{7}=42\frac{6}{7}\%$$
Therefore, statement II is correct.
The answer is option A.
The simple interest accrued on a sum of certain principal in 8 years at the rate of 13% per year is ₹6500. What would be the compound interest accrued on that principal at the rate of 8% per year in 2 years?
Solution
It is given,
$$\ \ \frac{\ P\times8\times13}{100}=6500$$
P = Rs 6250
Amount after 2 years = $$6250\left(1+\frac{8}{100}\right)^2=6250\times\frac{108}{100}\times\frac{108}{100}=7290$$
Compound interest = 7290 - 6250 = Rs 1040
The answer is option A.

Which of the following statements are true?
A. If $$x : y = 3 : 1$$ then $$x^{3} - y^{3} = \frac{10}{11}$$
B. If $$x = y + 12, x : y = 3:2$$ and $$z:y = 1:3$$, the $$z + x = 44$$
C. If $$3x = 8y$$ and $$5y = 9z$$, then $$\frac{x}{z} = \frac{72}{15}$$
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Solution
Statement A:
x : y = 3 : 1
$$x^3-y^3=\left(3k\right)^3-k^3=26k^3$$
This implies value of $$x^3-y^3$$ cannot be determined from the given information.
Therefore, statement A is incorrect.
Statement B:
It is given,
x = y + 12 and x:y = 3:2
Let x = 3k and y = 2k
3k = 2k + 12
k = 12
x = 36 and y = 24
It is given, z : y = 1 : 3
z = $$\frac{24}{3}=8$$
z + x = 36 + 8 = 44
Therefore, statement B is correct.
Statement C:
It is given, 3x = 8y and 5y = 9z
x : y = 8 : 3 = 24 : 9
y : z = 9 : 5
x : y : z = 24 : 9 : 5
x : z = 24 : 5 = 72 : 15
Therefore, statement C is correct.
The answer is option C.
Average of a, b and c is 11; average of c, d and e is 17; average of e and f is 22 and average of e and c is 17. What is the average of a, b, c, d, e and f?
Solution
It is given,
$$\ \frac{\ a+b+c}{3}=11$$
a + b + c = 33 ...... (1)
$$\ \frac{\ c+d+e}{3}=17$$
c + d + e = 51 ...... (2)
$$\ \frac{\ e+f}{2}=22$$
e + f = 44 ...... (3)
$$\ \frac{\ e+c}{2}=17$$
e + c = 34 ...... (4)
(1) + (2) + (3) - (4) we get the sum of a, b, c, d, e and f
a + b + c + d + e + f = (a+b+c) + (c+d+e) + (e+f) - (e+c) = 33 + 51 + 44 - 34 = 94
Average = $$\frac{94}{6}=\frac{47}{3}=15\frac{2}{3}$$
The answer is option A.

The least number of square tiles required to pave the floor of a room 15 m 91 cm and 9 m 46 cm broad is
Solution
Let the number of square tiles be n and the area of each square tile be $$x^2$$
Length = 1591 cm
Breadth = 946 cm
x is the H.C.F of 1591 and 946.
$$1591$$ = $$43\times37$$
$$946$$ = $$43\times2\times11$$
x = 43
Hence, all the dimensions can be covered in squares of dimensions 43 cm.
n(43)(43) = (1591)(946)
n = 37*22 = 814

Given below are two statements:
Statement I : If the roots of a quadratic equation are 2 and 3, then the equation is $$x^{2} - 5x- 6 = 0$$
Statement II: If the roots of $$4x^{2}+3kx + 9 = 0$$ are real and distinct, then $$k \leq - 4$$ or $$k \geq 4$$
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Solution
Statement 1:
k$$(x-2)(x-3)$$ = k($$x^2-5x+6$$) is the quadratic equation whose roots are 2 and 3.
Therefore, statement 1 is incorrect.
Statement 2:
Given equation: $$4x^{2}+3kx + 9 = 0$$
Roots of the equation are real and distinct when the discriminant of equation is greater than zero.
$$\left(3k\right)^2-\left(4\right)\left(4\right)\left(9\right)>0$$
$$\left(k-4\right)\left(k+4\right)>0$$
k < -4 and k > 4
But in the given statement, equal to sign is also considered which is incorrect.
If discriminant is equal to zero, roots of the equation are equal.
Therefore, statement 2 is incorrect.
The answer is option B.

In the light of the above statements choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Solution
Statement I:
$$\left(243\right)^{0.16}\times\left(9\right)^{0.1}=3^{0.8}\times3^{0.2}=3$$
Therefore, statement I is incorrect.
Statement II:
$$3.105\times10^P=0.00239+0.000715$$
$$3.105\times10^P=0.003105$$
$$3105\times10^P=3.105$$
P = -3
Therefore, statement II is correct.

Few men were sitting in a row facing north in a row.
Sunil is 16th to the left of Ram, who is 18th from the right. Jack is 11th from left and is also 4th to the right of Sunil. How many men were sitting in a row.
Solution
From the first sentence we can say that there are 15 people between Ram and Sunil and Ram has 17 peole to his right.
Jack is 4th to right pf Sunil, so he must have 3 people between him and Sunil. Since there are 15 people between Sunil and Ram, we can say that there will be 15 - 4 = 11 people between Jack and Ram.
Jack is 11th from left and he also has Sunil to his left. Jack will have 10 people to his left and Sunil is 4th to his left , This must mean that Sunil will have 10 - 4 = 6 people to his left.
Hence we can say that there are 6 + 1 +3+1 +11 +1 + 17 = 40 people in the row

Similarly triangle numbers 2 and 3, 3 and 6 and 6 and 7 can also form a triangle.
Hence total number of triangles = 8+4 = 12
A is the son of B, whose mother is C. D is the husband of E the grand-daughter of C. If F is the wife of A, how is F's father-in-law related to D's daughter?
Solution
From the given information we can draw the following family tree
We can observe that A and F are husband and wife. A is the son of B. C is mother of B. C is grandmother of A and E. Lastly, D is husband of E.
We need to find the relation between F's father in law and D's daughter.
F's father in law can be be B or husband of B, ( we can't say exactly as we don't know the gender of B)
E and D's have C as their grand mother and B and/or his husband as Uncle.
Hence E and D's daughter will have F's father in law as her grandfather.
A girl leaves her home and walks 30 mt towards north. She turns clockwise by $$45^{\circ}$$ and walks 30 meter. Then she turns anti-clockwise by $$45^{\circ}$$ and walks 30 meter, Then she turns by $$90^{\circ}$$ towards her left and walks 60 meter. There she turns towards her home. In which direction is she walking?
Solution
Let's assume H to be home.
She walks 30 meters towards north(at A)
H will be South of A
Now from A she walks towards B which is north east of A.
Hence H will be towards South - west of B
Now she'll walk towards D which to her left/ east, She walks 60 meters so she'll be to the left of H
Hence now H will be towards south east of D
The following question consists of a statement followed by two arguments I and II. Choose the best option.
Statement: Should the cottage industry be shifted to urban cities from villages?
Argument I: No, the rural population will die of hunger.
Argument II: Yes, rural people will be encouraged to adopt farming as their livelihood.
Solution
The question under scrutiny: [Should the cottage industry be shifted to urban cities from villages?]
Argument I: This argument suggests that if the cottage industry is shifted to urban cities from villages, the rural population will die of hunger. However, this argument assumes that the cottage industry is the sole source of livelihood for the rural population, which may not be the case. There could be other means of income and employment in rural areas, such as agriculture, animal husbandry, or other industries. Therefore, Argument I is not strong.
Argument II: This argument implies that if the cottage industry is shifted to urban cities from villages, it would encourage rural people to adopt farming as their primary livelihood. Assuming that shifting the cottage industry will automatically encourage everyone to adopt farming is an oversimplification. Therefore, argument II is also not strong.
Based on the analysis, both arguments I and II are not strong - they do not help answer the given question. Hence, Option C is the correct choice

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A: Celebrity endorsements add to the brand value and sale of the products.
Reason R: Most celebrity are rich enough to afford the best technology and products in any given category.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Solution
Assertion A
Celebrity endorsement is a form of advertising campaign or marketing strategy which uses a celebrity's fame or social status to promote a product, brand or service, or to raise awareness about an issue. Marketers use celebrity endorsers in hopes that the positive image of the celebrity endorser will be passed on to the product's or brand's image.
Thus this is an correct Assertion.
Reason R
Most celebrities are highly famous and rich people. This fame and money enables them to enjoy various luxuries of life. Thus, this is a correct statement.
Although R is a correct statement, it cannot be the correct reason for the given assertion as brands ask celebrities to endorse their products because of the influence that celebrities have over the people and not because of their lifestyle

This is incorrect as L.H.S = - 21
C. $$3 \times 6 - 4 = 33$$
After interchanges
$$6 - 3 \times 4 = 33$$
This is incorrect as L.H.S = -6
D. $$3 - 6 \times 8 = 10$$
After interchanges
$$6 \times 3 - 8 = 10$$
This correct as L.H.S. = R.H.S. = 10
The following question consists of a statement and argument I and II. Choose the best option.
Statement: Should smoking be prohibited.
Argument I: Yes, it is wrong to smoke away millions of money.
Argument II: No, it will throw thousands of workers in tobacco industry out of employment.
Solution
Argument 1 : Smoking should be prohibited primarily because of the hazardous effects of it toward our health and environment. Although prohibiting smoking will save people a lot of money but this can't be the basis for banning smoking, hence this argument will be considered as an weak argument.
Argument 2 : Smoking is a billion dollar industry and lot of people are employed in this industry. Surely, banning smoking will have an adverse effect on all those people who are employed in the industry, hence this can be considered as an strong argument.

Pick the most appropriate auxiliary verb to fill in the blank:
CCTV _______ been used for many years for the surveillance of public areas associated with obvious risk.
Solution
The use of "has" as the auxiliary verb in this sentence is appropriate because it indicates an action that started in the past and continues into the present. The phrase "for many years" suggests a duration of time, indicating that the use of CCTV for surveillance has been ongoing.

Identify the appropriate direct speech form of the following sentence:
He greeted me and asked where I was going.

2. He asked, "Hello, where you are going?"
3. He said, "Hello, where you are going.."
4. He said, "Hello! Where are you going?"

Option C: As the question asked is not followed by a question mark, this statement is not correct.
Option D: Since this statement is grammatically correct and represents the exact words spoken by someone, this is the correct option.
The correct option is D.

"Gandhi's greatest challenge was post-truth. The Indian social universe was overflowing with ways of living established by the powerful that inevitably oppressed the powerless. In order to tackle this inequality, Gandhi changed the understanding of truth that the powerful had inherited and internalized.

"Gandhi changed the understanding of truth that the powerful had inherited and internalized. He dislodged truth from its long-held. theological location of an ultimate divine compassion"
From the above excerpt, it can be understood that Gandhi dislodged truth as all ultimate divine revelation. Thus, assertion A is correct.
"Only goodness mattered. If that quality could be inculcated, truth would take care of itself."

The passage explicitly mentions that Gandhi dislodged truth from its long-held theological location of an ultimate divine compassion. This suggests that Gandhi did not view truth as a singular, divine revelation but rather shifted the understanding of truth away from its theological association. Thus, option B is not a correct statement.

"Poetry is the language of the imagination and the passions. It relates to whatever gives immediate pleasure or pain to the human mind. It comes home to the bosoms and business of men for nothing but what comes home to them in the most general and intelligible shape can be a subject for poetry. Poetry is the universal language which the health holds with nature and itself. He who has a contempt for poetry cannot have much respect for himself, or for anything else. Wherever there is a sense of beauty or harmony, as in the motion of a wave of the sea in the growth of a flower there is poetry in its birth."
Which of the following expressions duly correspond with the given passage:
A . Poetry ensures for the immediate pleasure and pain experienced by the creative mind.
B . It revolves around the general and intelligible feelings of the people.
C . A contempt for poetry and self-respect are mutually compatible.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
The passage starts by stating that poetry is the language of the imagination and the passions, relating to whatever gives immediate pleasure or pain to the human mind. Thus, option A can be inferred from the first two lines of the passage
Additionally, the passage mentions that poetry comes home to the bosoms and business of men, and only what comes home to them in the most general and intelligible shape can be a subject for poetry. This implies that poetry revolves around the general and intelligible feelings of the people, which corresponds to option B.
Furthermore, the passage suggests that having contempt for poetry reflects a lack of respect for oneself and other things. This contradicts the idea that contempt for poetry and self-respect are mutually compatible, so option C is not accurate.
Lastly, the passage implies that poetry relates to mankind's sense of beauty, power, and harmony, as seen in the examples of the motion of a wave of the sea and the growth of a flower. This aligns with option D, which states that poetry unavoidably relates to mankind's sense of beauty, power, and harmony.
The correct option is B.

Following are the reasons for the failure of an entrepreneurial venture.
A. Lack of market research
B. Poor financial control
C. Poor management
D. Gender of the entrepreneur
E. Caste of the entrepreneur
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
The most appropriate answer is:
A, B, C are correct reasons for the failure of an entrepreneurial venture.
Explanation:
A. Lack of market research: Insufficient market research can lead to a lack of understanding of customer needs, preferences, and market dynamics. This can result in products or services that do not meet market demands, leading to failure.
B. Poor financial control: Inadequate financial management and control can lead to cash flow problems, excessive spending, and poor financial decision-making. These issues can cause financial instability and ultimately lead to the failure of the venture.
C. Poor management: Poor management practices, including weak leadership, ineffective decision-making, and insufficient operational processes, can hamper the overall performance and growth of an entrepreneurial venture. Without strong management, businesses may struggle to adapt, compete, and overcome challenges effectively.
