Consider the case,
Out of 1000 educated youth 10 are unemployed and out of 20 uneducated youth 10 are unemployed.
Thus, the number of unemployed educated youth was equal to the number of unemployed uneducated youth.
But as we see that the probability that an educated you will be unemployed is 1% and the probability that an uneducated youth is unemployed is 50%.
Thus, to validate the given conclusion we need the percentage of unemployment in educated youth versus percentage of unemployment in uneducated youth.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.

We are given that:-
There are 5 persons in a group - P, Q, R, S and T.
P and S are unmarried ladies who do not play any games and thus, P-girl-unmarried-no sport and S-girl-unmarried-no sport

Hour hand will cover 360 degrees in 12 hours. Thus, 1 hour = 30 degrees.
In 2 hour 20 minutes i.e. in 2.33 hours it will cover 2.33*30 = 70 degrees.
Minute hand will cover 360 degrees in 1 hours. Thus, in 20 minutes it will cover 120 degrees.
Thus, the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand at 2 hour twenty minutes = 120-70 = 50 degrees.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.

As we can see the given patter in cab then bac then cab again and so on
Thus, a, c, b, c, b will fill the blanks.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.

In the given series, the alphabets are same and only the number is changing. By observation, we see that the number is increased by 1 in each subsequent term. Also, the position of number changes by 1 in each subsequent term and this change is cyclic. In the first term, the number 2 is at the second position. So, in the third term, the number should be at the third position and it must be increased by 1. Thus, the third term must be BC3D.
In the fourth term, the number is 4 and is at the last. So, in the fifth term, it should be at the second position (as the change in position is cyclic) and must be increased by 1. Thus, the fourth term will be B5CD.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.

P = 16, P3 =  16    3 
M = 13, M8 = 13    8 
___________________
G = 7, G24 =  7     24 
D = 4, D35 =  5     35 

1st series =16,13,__,7,5.....

Pattern -3 on subsequent terms

2nd series 3,8,__,24,34

Thus, M-3rd term letter = 3. Thus, the letter should be J.
J = 10

Pattern  +5+....+.....+11

thus we can infer+5+7+9+11

Thus, the 3rd term should be 15
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
