Rahul takes 4 days to finish one third of a job, Sohan takes 3 days to finish one sixth of the same work and Ram takes 5 days to finish half the job. All 3 of them together work for 3 days after which Rahul and Ram leave the job. How long will it take for Sohan to complete the remaining work?
IIFT 2021 Slot 1 Question Paper (23rd Dec)
For the following questions answer them individually
Solution
Share
From the above information, we can say that Rahul, Sohan and Ram take 12, 18 and 10 days respectively to complete the work alone.
LCM(12, 18, 10)= 180
Let the total work be 180 units
So Work done by Rahul in 1 day = 15 units
Work done by Sohan in 1 day = 10 units
Work done by Ram in 1 day = 18 units
Let the time taken by Sohan to complete the remaining work be x days.
Therefore, 180 = 3*(15+10+18) + 10x
or, 180 = 129 - 10x
or, x= 5.1 days
A shopkeeper marks up the price of the Toor dal by 20% and gives a discount of 10% to the customer. Besides, he also tricks 100 grams to his dealer and his customer respectively while buying or selling 1 kilogram of Toor dal. Find the profit percentage of the shopkeeper.
Solution
Let the cost of 1000gm of dal be rupees 1000
Now the shopkeeper is buying 1100 gm of dal for rupees 1000
While selling 900 gm of dal, the shopkeeping is charging the price of 1000 gm
Therefore, while selling 1100 gm of dal, the shopkeeper will charge the price of (1000/900)*1100 gm = 11000/9 gm
He has marked up the price by 20% and then given a discount of 10%
So price charged by shopkeeper = (11000/9)*1.2*0.9 = 1320
So the shopkeeper is spending 1000 rupees to buy the dal and is selling the same quantity of dal at 1320 rupees. Therefore, the profit percentage is (320/1000)*100 = 32%
To maintain social distancing due to the COVID situation, Rohan, Sohan, and Rahul are sitting equidistantly, at a distance of 3 meters, in a triangular formation. Priya came and sat between Sohan and Rahul, so the distance between them is half the distance between Rahul and Priya. What will be the distance between Priya and Rohan in meters?
Solution
Considering the data given, Rohan, Sohan, and Rahul are sitting in the shape of an equilateral triangle with sides 3m each.
Since Priya's distance from Sohan is half her distance from Rahul, she is sitting at a distance of 1 m from Sohan.

Draw a perpendicular AD on BC.
In $$\triangle$$ ADC, using the Pythagoras theorem,
$$AC^2=AD^2+DC^2$$
$$3^2=AD^2+1.5^2$$
$$AD=\frac{3\sqrt 3}{2}$$
In $$\triangle ADE, using the Pythagoras theorem,
$$AE^2=AD^2+DE^2$$
$$AE^2=\frac{27}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=7$$
$$AE=\sqrt 7$$
Hence, the answer is option C.
In a group of students, x number of students drink only Fruit Juice, 2x number of students drink only Coke. $$\frac{57}{x}$$ students drink both Fruit Juice and Coke and the students who drink neither Fruit Juice nor Coke are $$\frac{57}{3x}$$. The number of students who drink Coke may be
Solution
No of persons who drink coke = 2x + 57/x
As the no. of persons who drink coke will be an integer so 57/x must be an integer so x can be 1, 3, 19 or 57.
No. of persons who drink neither fruit juice nor coke = 57/3x = 19/x this also should be an integer, so x= 1 or 19 only
When x=1, no. of persons who drink coke = 2+57 = 59
When x=19, no. of persons who drink coke = 38 + 3 = 41
Ishika speaks truth in 60% of cases and Mishika in 85% of cases. Ishika and Mishika agree in astatement. Find the probability that the statement is true.
Solution
For both Ishika and Mishika to agree on a statement either both have to speak the truth or both have to speak false.
Probability of both speaking truth = (60/100)*(85/100) = 204/400
Probability of both speaking false = (40/100)*(15/100) = 24/400
The probability that the statement is true when Ishika and Mishika both agree on a statement = (204/400)/{(204/400)+(24/400)} = 204/228 = 51/57
The last two digits of the expression $$1(1!)^{1!} + 2(2!)^{2!} + 3(3!)^{3!} + .... + 121(121!)^{121!}$$
Solution
From the 5th term onwards the last two of all the terms will 00.
The last two digits of 24 to the power of an even number will be 76 always.
So, last two digits of the above expression will be the last two digits of $$1+2\left(2\right)^2+3\left(6\right)^6+4\left(76\right)$$
=1+8+139968+304= 140281
So last two digits is 81
Two towers 10 meters apart, are 4 m and 6 m high respectively. What will be the height of pointof intersection of lines joining the top of each tower to the bottom of opposite tower?
Solution
Let AB and CD be the towers of length 4m and 6m respectively.
Let the length of BF be x therefore, the length of FC will be 10-x.
Triangle BEF is similar to triangle BDC
So, $$\frac{EF}{DC}=\frac{BF}{BC}=\frac{BE}{BD}$$
or, $$\frac{EF}{6}=\frac{x}{10}=\frac{BE}{BD}$$
Therefore, $$EF=\frac{3x}{5}$$
Similarly, triangle EFC is similar to triangle ABC
So, $$\frac{EF}{AB}=\frac{CF}{BC}=\frac{EC}{AC}$$
or, $$\frac{EF}{4}=\frac{10-x}{10}=\frac{EC}{AC}$$
or, $$EF=\ \frac{2\left(10-x\right)}{5}$$
Therefore, $$\frac{2\left(10-x\right)}{5}=\frac{3x}{5}$$
or, $$x=4$$
EF= $$\frac{3x}{5}=2.4\ m$$
$$f(x) = \dfrac{2x + 2}{2x - 2}$$, where $$y = f(x)$$. Find the ratio of $$x$$ to $$f(y)$$.
Solution
$$f\left(y\right)=f\left(f\left(x\right)\right)$$
or, $$f\left(y\right)=f\left(\frac{2x+2}{2x-2}\right)$$
$$f\left(y\right)=\frac{2\left(\frac{2x+2}{2x-2}\right)+2}{2\left(\frac{2x+2}{2x-2}\right)-2}$$
or, $$f\left(y\right)=\frac{8x}{8}=x$$
Therefore x:f(y) = 1:1
During a marriage ceremony in Panipat, two shots from the air rifle are fired from the same place at an interval of 10 minutes 42 seconds. A man sitting in the train which is approaching the place where the ceremony is being held, hears the second sound after 10 minutes of hearing the first one. Assuming speed of sound to be 330 m/s, what could be the speed of the train?
Solution
Let the speed of the train be x.
Since the train and the bullet are travelling in opposite directions, the relative speed of the train with respect to the bullet = (330 + x) m/s
Now, the distance between the bullets = $$330\times\ 642\ m$$
The train travelled this distance in 10 minutes.
Thus, $$\left(330+x\right)\times\ 600\ =\ 330\times\ 642$$
$$x\times\ 600\ =\ 330\times\ 42$$
Speed of train = 13860/600 = 23.1 m/s
Thus, the correct option is C.
If area of the adjacent faces of a cuboid is given as p, q and r respectively and the volume isgiven as 'V' then the square of the volume will be
Solution
Let the length, breadth and height of the cubhoid be l, b and h respectively.
Therefore of adjacent faces will be lb, bh and hl.
If lb= p, then bh= q and hl=r.
Volume (V) = lbh
$$V^2=\left(lbh\right)^2$$
or, $$V^2=pqr$$
If a principal P amounts to A in two years when compounded half yearly with r% interest. The same principal P amounts to A in two years when compounded annually with R% interest, then which of the following relationship is true?
Solution
In the first case, we are told that at a rate r, it is compounding semi-annually.
$$P\left(1+\frac{r}{200}\right)^4=A$$
In the second case, we are told that a rate R is compounded annually.
$$P\left(1+\frac{R}{100}\right)^2=A$$
Equating them, we get,
$$\left(1+\frac{R}{100}\right)^2=\left(1+\frac{r}{200}\right)^4$$
$$1+\frac{R}{100}=\left(1+\frac{r}{200}\right)^2$$
Taking R/100=R and r/100 as r for ease of calculation,
$$\left(1+R\right)=\left(1+\frac{r}{2}\right)^2$$
$$1+R=1+\frac{r^2}{4}+r$$
$$R=r+\frac{r^2}{4}$$
So, R will naturally be greater than r.
In the galaxy “Andromeda”, a planet named “Exo” has a city called “Azith”. The city has analphabet system that consists of 48 letters and an octo-decimal number system (base -18). Theregistration number on the number plate of a vehicle in the city has two parts. The first part is the alphabetpart that consists of three letters and the second part is the number part that consists of 3 digits. The cityadministration issues all kinds of registration numbers with following restrictions:
a. The letters in the alphabet part are in ascending order and all letters must be distinct.
b. In the number part, the first digit is three more than the third digit.
Find the number of possible registration numbers available in the Azith city.
Solution
There are 48 alphabets out of which we need 3
So, no. of ways of selecting 3 alphabets from 48 alphabets is $$^{48}C_3$$
Since we need to arrange these alphabets in ascending order so there is only one possible way for every three alphabets.
The first digit is 3 more than the third digit.
For a particular first digit there will be a particular third digit but the 2nd digit can be any of the numbers
So, no. of ways of selecting first digit= 15
No. of ways of selecting 2nd digit = 18
Therefore, total no. of ways = $$^{48}C_3\times\ 15\times\ 18$$ = 4669920
The radius of circle is increased in a way such that its circumference increases by 8%. By howmuch percentage the area of the circle increases?
Solution
Increase in circumference is 8% which means that the increase in radius is also 8%
Increase in area = 8+8+ (8*8)/100 = 16+0.64 = 16.64%
A group of 78 people watch NDTV, Times Now and Republic. Out of these news channels, 36watch NDTV, 48 watch Times Now and 32 watches Republic. 14 people watch both NDTV and Times Now,20 people watch both Times Now and Republic, and 12 people watch both Republic and NDTV. Find the ratio of the number of people who watch only Times Now to the number of people who watch only Republic.
Solution
$$P\left(A\ U\ B\ U\ C\right)=P\left(A\right)+P\left(B\right)+P\left(C\right)-\left\{P\left(A∩B\right)+P\left(B∩C\right)+P\left(C∩A\right)\right\}+P\left(A∩B∩C\right)$$
Let the no. of people who watch all three be x
78= 36+48+32-(14+20+12)+x
or x= 8
No. of people who watch times now only = 48 - (14+20)+8 = 22
No. of people who watch republic only = 32 - (20+12) + 8 = 8
Ratio = 22/8 = 11:4
Find the set S that denotes the set of all values of "$$\alpha$$" for which the roots of the equation $$(1 - \alpha)x^2 - 6 \alpha x + 8 \alpha = 0$$ is greater than 2.
Solution
$$f\left(x\right)=\left(1-\alpha\ \right)x^2-6\alpha x+8\alpha\ =0$$
Now roots are greater than 2 therefore,
$$-\frac{b}{2a}>2$$
$$f\left(2\right)>0$$
D>0
$$-\frac{b}{2a}>0$$
$$\frac{6\alpha}{2\left(1-\alpha\ \right)}>0$$
$$\frac{\alpha}{\alpha\ -1}<0$$
$$\alpha\ \in\ \left(0,1\right)$$
f(2)>0
$$\left(1-\alpha\ \right)4-12\alpha\ +8\alpha\ >0$$
$$4-8\alpha\ >0$$
$$\alpha\ <\frac{1}{2}$$
D>0
$$36\alpha\ ^2-32\alpha\ \left(1-\alpha\ \right)>0$$
$$68\alpha^2-32\alpha\ >0$$
$$\alpha\ \left(68\alpha\ -32\right)>0$$
$$\alpha\ \in\ \left(-\infty\ ,0\right)U\left(\frac{32}{68},\infty\ \right)$$
Taking the intersection of all we get $$\alpha\ \in\ \left(\frac{32}{68},\frac{1}{2}\right)$$
Evaluate $$\left[\cos^2 \left(\frac{\pi}{32}\right) + \cos^2 \left(\frac{3 \pi}{32}\right) + \cos^2 \left(\frac{5 \pi}{32}\right) + ... + \cos^2 \left(\frac{15 \pi}{32}\right)\right] - \left[\sin^2 \left(\frac{\pi}{16}\right) + \sin^2 \left(\frac{2 \pi}{16}\right) + ... + \sin^2 \left(\frac{7 \pi}{16}\right)\right]$$
Solution
$$\cos\left(A\right)\ =\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-A\right)$$
$$\sin A=\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-A\right)$$
$$\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{32}\right)=\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{\pi}{32}\right)=\sin\left(\frac{15\pi}{32}\right)$$
$$\sin^2\left(A\right)+\cos^2\left(A\right)=1$$
So the series simplifies to (1+1+1+1)-(1+1+1+1/2)
therefore value of series is 1/2
Same item is sold for Rs. 600 and Rs. 175, respectively. The profit earned on the first sale is 20 times the loss incurred on the second sale. To make a profit of 30% in the second transaction, at what price the second sale should happen:
Solution
Let the CP be x
Now as per question, $$600-x=20\left(x-175\right)$$
21x = 4100
x= 195.24
Therefore, to make a profit of 30% selling price of second article should be = $$1.3\times\ 195.24\ =\ 253.81$$
An unbiased dice is tossed seven times. Find the probability of getting a third six on the seventh throw.
Solution
We need a third 6 in the 7th throw which means that in the first 6 throws we should get 6 exactly twice.
No. of ways of getting 6 exactly twice in first 6 throws= $$^6C_2$$
Probability of getting 6 for the third time in the seventh throw= $$\frac{\left(^6C_2\times\ 5^4\right)}{6^7}$$
There are 12 points in a two-dimensional plane with following coordinates: Points A, B, C, D, E,F, G have coordinates (1, 0), (2, 0), (3, 0), (4, 0), (5, 0), (6, 0) and (7, 0) respectively. Points H, I, J havecoordinates (1, 1), (2, 2) and (3, 3) respectively. Points K, L have coordinates (4, -2) and (5, -3)respectively. The number of circles possible with these points are?
Solution
A, B, C, D, E, F, G all lie of a single line
H, I, J all lie on another single line
K, L lie on another single line
If we are given three points which are not collinear than we can draw a circle from these three points
“xyz” and “zyx” are three digit numbers where x, y, z are distinct digits from 0 to 9. Differenceof xyz and zyx has a factor of 7. What is the maximum possible value of the LCM of x, y and z?
Solution
The difference between the numbers xyz and zyx will be a multiple of 99.
therefore, 99(x-z)= 99*7
x-z =7
So, there are two possibilities for x and z.
i) x = 9 and z = 2,
ii) x = 8 and z = 1
To maximize the LCM, the first case will be preferred.
Now, for maximum LCM, y will be maximum.
Let us check for y = 8.
LCM = 8*9 = 72
For y = 7, LCM = 7*2*9 = 126.
Therefore, maximum possible LCM=126
The value of $$\log_2 x$$ which satisfy $$6 - 9\log_{8}\left(\frac{4}{x}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} - 8(\log_{256}x)^{\frac{2}{3}} - (\log_2 x^8)^{\frac{1}{3}} = 0$$ is
Solution
$$6-9\log_8\left(\frac{4}{x}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}-8\left(\log_{256}x\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}-\left(\log_{2\ }x^8\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}=0$$
$$6-\log_24+\log_2\ x-2\left(\log_2x\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}-2\left(\log_2x\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}=0$$
Let $$\left(\log_2x\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}$$ be t.
$$4+t^3-2t^2-2t=0$$
or, $$\left(t-2\right)\left(t^2-2\right)=0$$
so, $$t=2$$ or
$$\log_2\ x=8$$
Three small identical circles are inscribed inside an equilateral triangle with length $$10\sqrt{3}$$ cm as shown in the figure. The radius of each small circle is 2 cm A big circle touches these three circles as shown in the figure. Find the ratio of the area of the big circle with that of the area of the small circle. (figure not as per scale)
Solution
Height of triangle = $$\left(10\sqrt{3}\right)\times\ \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)=15$$
Distance between the centroid of the triangle and the vertex= $$15\times\ \frac{2}{3}=10$$
If we assume a triangle with the small circle as inradius, then the distance between the vertex to the point where the small circle and big circle touch each other becomes the height of that triangle. Since in-radius is one-third of the height of the triangle, the height can be calculated as $$2\times3=6$$
The radius of the bigger circle = Distance between centroid to vertex - the distance between the vertex to the point where the small circle and big circle touch each other = 10 - 6 = 4cm
The ratio of areas will be the square of the ratio of radius, which is $$4^2\ :\ 2^2\ =\ 16\ :\ 4\ =\ 4\ :\ 1$$.
Hence, the correct answer is option A.
Abdul can go from his home to his favourite basketball ground by taking any of the two roads represented by $$y - x = 10$$ and $$2x + 2y = 15$$. The ground is located at a distance of 200 units from each of the roads. What is the possible location of the basketball ground?
Solution
Since the question asks for a possible location of the ground, the most efficient way to solve such questions is to go by the options.
Option A:
Distance of point $$\left(-1.25+200\sqrt{2},\ 8.75\right)$$ from lines y-x=10 and x+y=15/2
Distance from y-x=10 is $$\frac{\left|1.25-200\sqrt{2}+8.75-10\right|}{\sqrt{\ 1}+\sqrt{\ 1}}=200$$
Distance from x+y=15/2 is $$\frac{\left|-1.25+200\sqrt{2}+8.75-7.5\right|}{\sqrt{\ 1}+\sqrt{\ 1}}=200$$
Since, in both cases, we are getting a distance equal to 200 units(equidistant from both roads), this is the correct option.
Thus, the correct option is A.
The rate at which coal is consumed by a RORO train, which is operated by Konkan Railways,fluctuates as the square of the speed. It is given that coal consumption of this train is 1200 kg/hour whenthe speed is 40 km/hour. Konkan Railway bears the cost of coal at the rate Rs. 16/100kg and all otherexpenses of running the RORO train costs Konkan Railways Rs. 13/hour. Find the total cost in paise/km, foroperating the RORO train when it is running at the speed of V km/hour.
Solution
Let rate of consumption per hour be R
Therefore, $$R=k\left(V^2\right)$$
When speed= 40km/hr R= 1200kg/hr
So, When speed = V
R= $$\left(\frac{1200}{1600}\right)\times\ V^2$$
Cost of coal consumed per hour = $$\left(\frac{1200}{1600}\right)\times\ V^2\times\ \frac{16}{100}=\frac{12}{100}V^2$$
All other expenses = Rs 13/ hr
Therefore operating cost per hour = Rs.($$13+\frac{12}{100}V^2$$)
Operation cos in paise per hour = $$1300+12V^2$$
A can was full of olive oil. Lata draws each time 20% of the volume from the can and replaceswith groundnut oil. Usha draws 10% of the volume and replaces with mustard oil. Starting with Lata, bothrepeats the procedure alternatively two times each. What is the ratio of olive oil, groundnut oil and mustardoil in the end?
Solution
Let the amount of olive oil in the jar be 1000 units.
After Lata drew 20% and replaced it with groundnut oil, the amount of olive oil in the mixture will be 800 units, and that of groundnut oil will be 200 units.
Now, Usha will draw 10% of the volume; thus, the amount of olive oil left will be $$800\times\ 0.9\ =\ 720$$. Similarly, the amount of groundnut oil will be 180 units, and the amount of mustard oil will be 100 units.
Again after Lata's draw, the amount of olive oil will become $$720\times\ 0.8=576$$. Similarly, the amount of mustard oil will become 80 units, and the amount of groundnut oil will become $$180\times\ 0.8+200=344$$ units.
Lastly, Usha will again draw 10% of the volume. Thus, the volume of olive oil will become $$576\times\ 0.9=518.4$$. Similarly, the amount of groundnut oil will become 309.6, and the amount of mustard oil will become $$80\times\ 0.9+100\ =\ 172$$
Thus, the ratio will be 5184 : 3096 : 1720
The correct option is B.
Alternative solution:
Percentage of olive oil in the mixture = $$100\times\ \left(\frac{8}{10}\right)\times\ \left(\frac{9}{10}\right)\times\ \left(\frac{8}{10}\right)\times\ \left(\frac{9}{10}\right)=51.84\%$$.
From the sentences below, identify where comma(s) is/are missing and/orinappropriately used grammatically:
A. Don’t guess. Use a timer or watch.
B. Don’t guess, use a timer or watch.
C. The driver managed to escape from the vehicle before it sank and swam to the river-bank.
D. The driver managed to escape from the vehicle before it sank, and swam to the river-bank.
Solution
Option B: Don't guess is in itself a full sentence and should be followed by a full stop. Thus, this is grammatically incorrect.
Option C: Since comma should follow sank, this is also grammatically incorrect.
Options A and D are grammatically correct sentences.
Thus, the correct option is A.

Solution
A procrustean bed: a scheme or pattern into which someone or something is arbitrarily forced.
Paper is more patient than Man: it easier to be honest in writing than to speak openly with other people.
Scrape acquaintance with: Make an effort to become familiar with someone, especially for one's own benefit.
Bare Bodkin: a mere dagger.
Thus, the correct combination is given in option D.
The correct option is D.
From the sentences below, identify where comma(s) is/are missing and/or inappropriately used grammatically:
A. The convict said the judge “is mad”.
B. The convict, said the judge, is mad.
C. Leonara walked on her head, a little higher than usual.
D. Leonara walked on, her head a little higher than usual.
Solution
Option C is wrong. While reading the sentence, it seems like Leonarda is walking on her head. When the sentence intends to convey that Leonarda is walking with her head held high, with pride. Option D uses the correct punctuation to convey this message.
Option B is correct, since the sentence uses commas at appropriate places to break the sentence between the speaker, whom the speaker is referring to, and what is said. This is not done in Option A. If Option A is trying to use direct speech, it is directly quoting the convict, that time the correct usage of the double quote would cover the entire statement "the judge is mad", with a comma after said.
Hence, A and C are wrong sentences.

According to Douglas Brinkley's Wheels for the World, Henry authorized $1.5 million in company funds for an inquiry of Lee's professional and private life in 1975 to discredit him.
Solution
'Calumniate' means to make false statements and accusations. Since 'discredit' represents a similar intention in the statement of the question,
Option A is the correct answer.
There are four sentences A, B, C, D where the underlined word is used either correctly or incorrectly. Choose the option which lists all the sentences where the underlined word is used correctly in a sentence.
A. Cassie drew her brows down to feign a stern expression.
B. Her heartbeat was feign and slow.
C. I wish you wouldn't feign illness on every first day of school.
D. My cousin would always feign excitement when we came to visit, but I knew she really didn't like sharing her room.
Solution
The word "feign" means to pretend or fake something.
-
A: Correctly uses "feign" to mean pretending to have a stern expression.
-
B: Incorrect because "feign" should be "faint" (weak or barely perceptible), not feign.
-
C: Correctly uses "feign" to mean pretending to be ill.
-
D: Correctly uses "feign" to mean pretending to be excited.
So, the correct sentences are A, C, and D.

Passage I
Qualitative research methods are often mischaracterized by advocates, users, and critics alike because too often the reflexive, iterative, and flexible methods are misunderstood as 'just making do.' There is a good pragmatic tradition of "making do," from Dewey to the present, that describes the necessities as well as virtues of using what situations provide in their immediacy as the grounds of social action. While qualitative research certainly shares some of this pragmatic bricolage, good research, qualitative as well as quantitative, is designed as well as improvised. One of the merits of qualitative research is its particular openness to serendipitous invention; one of its failures, however, has been an unwillingness, or inability, on the part of its practitioners, until recently, to specify how that openness to 'what situations make available' can be both systematic and creative.
Over the years, I have probably reviewed hundreds of research proposals; too large a number of these claimed that because the researcher was doing a qualitative study, the kinds of data and forms of collection could not be specified in advance. I was always a bit embarrassed by this, feeling let down by my side. It sometimes seemed as if our teaching of qualitative research was creating a mystical religion, a set of our own unexamined fetishes just at the moment we set about to identify others' taken for granted assumptions and social meanings. In this vein, some years ago I heard a colleague advise a student going out to do field work for the first time "to be like a blank slate," "just tell me everything you see and hear,write it all down." The student was completely baffled and clearly at a loss about what to do, to do first, or second, or how to begin. What would constitute telling me all you see and hear. Importantly, the student had read a lot of sociology, and knew a lot about signs and signifiers, latent as well as manifest patterns in social relations. She knew that competent social actors are not blank slates. She felt incompetent but not entirely blank. She had a project, after all.
It seemed from the proposals I read and the conversations I observed that we, qualitative sociologists, believed that we could not specify what we were going to do (i.e. lay out a design and plan of the research), because that would mean that we would have -- by that naming -- necessarily circumscribed what we would do. Having supposedly controlled a priori what we would do, we would be unable to do something else along the way, as the situations and insights invited. We would have lost the distinctive virtues of qualitative research. Somehow, in this mysticism about qualitative methods, research designs seemed to be understood as enforceable contracts or sets of machine instructions; any deviation from the design was understood to be either impossible, a failure, or a mistake. Qualitative research was celebrated for its flexibility, the temporal coincidence of collection and analysis and thus prior design was, by definition, a threat to qualitative research.
Of course, I have overstated the issue but we were asked to provide fodder for discussion. And, to some extent, this overstatement puts the issue in a bold form. Why should qualitative research be any less well designed (or specified) than quantitative research? When I think about the steps in different methods, it occurs to me that most of what gets put into a research design, let us say for a survey project or quantitative research, could also be put in the design for an ethnography or a project of in-depth-interviewing and narrative analysis. The major differences lie in the fact that qualitative projects (1) will not rely on statistical analyses and therefore do not need to produce probability samples and standardized collection instruments at the same temporal pace and placement in the research process. As a consequence of temporal pace and sequencing, qualitative projects (2) will be able to adjust the forms of data, modes and cites of collection in response to the ongoing processes of analysis and interpretation. This is certainly so. I suspect, however, that the resistance to detailed research qualitative research designs derives less,however, from emphasis on these key differences than from an overly idealized or reified view of how other forms of research proceed, whether quantitative sociology or chemistry or biology. That is, all research develops (is in the making and rethinking) throughout the stages of design, collection, and analysis. Almost all research produces much that was unanticipated and therefore had to be responded to with adjustments along the way. The central difference lies in the explicit weight of recognition of and preparation for this process of adjustment in most qualitative projects. Nothing precludes a preliminary design that sets the researcher on a path that is understood as a first approximation of the work process.
I should say before going much further that there are varieties of qualitative research and my remarks will not appropriately characterize all. For the moment, I am referring primarily to ethnographic fieldwork (i.e.research study looking at the social interaction of users in a given environment), participant observation,in-depth open ended interviewing, and other work involving interpretative qualitative analysis of documents of various sorts. Thus, the mode of analysis rather than the type of data more appropriately describes work as qualitative. (The content of documents and interviews can be analysed quantitatively or qualitatively. Observations can be systematically structured and quantified but much observation is not, nor would beproductive.)
The goal of research is to produce results that can be falsifiable and in some way affirmable by rational processes of actors other than the author. Most important is that the researcher provide an account of how the conclusions were reached, why the reader should believe the claims and how one might go about trying to produce a similar account. What makes science morally, and rationally, compelling is that it is a public enterprise. I am not referring to the funding or organizational supports. Rather, science is distinguished by the claim to produce shared understanding/knowledge through modes that can be rationally and collectively apprehended. In short, we have an obligation not to "hide the ball." To the extent that we do"hide the ball," we transform our science into rhetorical performance.
Which of the following is incorrect:
Solution
Option A: This can be understood from the penultimate paragraph of the passage.
Option B: This can also be inferred from the penultimate paragraph of the passage.
Option C: The author is against the notion of not providing explicit information about the qualitative methods of research. Thus, this is against the author's position and hence is the correct option.
Option D: This can be inferred from the third paragraph of the passage.
Thus, the correct option is C.
According to the passage, which of the following is incorrect about qualitative research design:
Solution
Option A: This is incorrect. While it is true that quantitative research relies on statistical analyses and probability samples, the passage also emphasizes that qualitative research differs not only in the reliance on statistical tools but also in its flexibility and temporal pace: "As a consequence of temporal pace and sequencing, qualitative projects (2) will be able to adjust the forms of data, modes and cites of collection in response to the ongoing processes of analysis and interpretation." Thus, as the option is too general and far-fetched, this would be the correct option.
Option B: This is an inference drawn from the second difference between qualitative and quantitative analysis. Thus, this is not the correct option.
Option C: This can also be inferred from the fourth paragraph of the passage and hence is not the correct option.
Option D: This option is a restatement of option C in a more concise manner and hence is not the correct option.
"The goal of research is ...... other than the author" (last para) from the passage can be best explained as:
Solution
Option A: Since this option does not include the reaffirmation of the research by a rational process part, this is not the correct option.
Option B: This option most accurately captures the essence of the aforementioned lines and hence is the correct option.
Option C: This option is also incomplete as it is void of the same reason for which option A is discarded. Thus, this is not the correct option.
Option D: This is too general of a definition and far-fetched to be the explanation of the given lines. Thus, this is not the correct option.
Thus, the correct option is B.
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage:
Solution
Option A- Partially True: The passage argues for specifying a design and plan, but it doesn't explicitly mention applying science for a shared understanding (although it does emphasize the importance of a public enterprise in research).
Option B- Not Supported: The passage acknowledges that qualitative research can't be entirely rigid in specifying data collection in advance due to its iterative nature.
Option C- Not Supported: The passage argues against this notion. It says deviations from the design are not failures but rather expected due to the ongoing analysis and adjustments in qualitative research.
Only Option D directly aligns with the passage's emphasis on transparency and the need for researchers to explain their methods and reasoning for the reader to believe their claims. This visibility allows for verification and replication, which are important aspects of scientific research.

Passage II
Sociologist Matthews writes that Let's say someone writes an academic paper quoting fifty people who haveworked on the subject and provided background materials for his study; assume, for the sake of simplicity,that all fifty are of equal merit. Another researcher working on the exact same subject will randomly citethree of those fifty in his bibliography. Merton showed that many academics cite references without havingread the original work; rather, they'll read a paper and draw their own citations from among its sources. So a third researcher reading the second article selects three of the previously referenced authors for his citations. These three authors will receive cumulatively more and more attention as their names becomeassociated more tightly with the subject at hand. The difference between the winning three and the othermembers of the original cohort is mostly luck: they were initially chosen not for their greater skill, butsimply for the way their names appeared in the prior bibliography. Thanks to their reputations, thesesuccessful academics will go on writing papers and their work will be easily accepted for publication. It iseasier for the rich to get richer, for the famous to become more famous. This theory can easily apply tocompanies, businessmen, actors, writers, and anyone else who benefits from past success.
During the 1940s, a Harvard linguist, George Zipf, examined the properties of language and came up withan empirical regularity now known as Zipf's law, which, of course, is not a law (and if it were, it would notbe Zipf's). It is just another way to think about the process of inequality. The mechanisms he describedwere as follows: the more you use a word, the less effortful you will find it to use that word again, so youborrow words from your private dictionary in proportion to their past use. This explains why out of the sixtythousand main words in English, only a few hundred constitute the bulk of what is used in writings, andeven fewer appear regularly in conversation. Likewise, the more people aggregate in a particular city, themore likely a stranger will be to pick that city as his destination. The big get bigger and the small staysmall, or get relatively smaller. A great illustration of preferential attachment can be seen in themushrooming use of English as a lingua franca—though not for its intrinsic qualities, but because peopleneed to use one single language, or stick to one as much as possible, when they are having a conversation.So whatever language appears to have the upper hand will suddenly draw people in droves; its usage willspread like an epidemic, and other languages will be rapidly dislodged. I am often amazed to listen toconversations between people from two neighboring countries, say, between a Turk and an Iranian, or aLebanese and a Cypriot, communicating in bad English, moving their hands for emphasis, searching forthese words that come out of their throats at the cost of great physical effort. Even members of the SwissArmy use English (not French) as a lingua franca (it would be fun to listen). Consider that a very smallminority of Americans of northern European descent is from England; traditionally the preponderant ethnicgroups are of German, Irish, Dutch, French, and other northern European extraction. Yet because all thesegroups now use English as their main tongue, they have to study the roots of their adoptive tongue anddevelop a cultural association with parts of a particular wet island, along with its history, its traditions, andits customs!
What is the appropriate meaning of 'lingua franca'?
Solution
Lingua franca refers to a language that is adopted as a common language between speakers whose native languages are different.
Thus, the correct option is B.
Which of the following statement is TRUE?
Solution
Both Matthews and Zipf gave their perspective on how inequality is exacerbated by more preference given to the ones who are at the higher end.
Options A and C are distorted inferences drawn from the passage.
Parsimonious refers to stingy behaviour. Since it is not referred to anywhere in the passage, Option B can also be discarded.
Option D: This option aptly captures the essence of Matthews and Zipf's discussion; this is the correct option.
Thus, the correct option is D.
Which of the following statement is CORRECT?
Solution
The main idea of the passage is how it is easier for something of a higher value to increase its value than the contrary.
Option A: Mnemonics means the study and development of systems for improving and assisting memory. Since this is not in the passage's scope, it is not the right answer.
Option B: This is totally the opposite of the viewpoints of the authors discussed in the passage and hence is not the right answer.
Option C: Since this option aptly captures the main idea of the passage, this is the correct answer.
Option D: Although the English language's example is used as an illustration, it is not the main idea of the passage.
Thus, the correct option is D.
Read the passage and answer the questions.
Passage
How is it that people come to use certain nonverbal behaviours in specific settings, or associate a particularbehaviour (e.g., smiling) with a particular meaning (e.g., happiness)? A sociocultural approach to answering these questions focuses on the ways in which behaviours and their meanings are prescribed at social or cultural levels and on the ways in which people come to acquire them. Encompassing a number of models and theories, the sociocultural paradigm emphasizes the influence of human interaction in creating and transmitting understanding; thus, it highlights the effects of culture, class, religion, sexuality, power, or other socially maintained factors on the enactment and meaning of behaviour.
The fundamental assumption underlying the sociocultural paradigm is that interpersonal behaviour and its meanings are learned through the diffusion of social or cultural knowledge and are, therefore, malleable.Because interpersonal behaviours are learned rather than innate, both behaviours and their meanings can be altered by changing the knowledge that is conveyed. This can explain, for instance, not only why cultures vary one from another in both their behaviours and the meanings of those behaviours, but also why, without access to another culture’s knowledge, people often find cross-cultural communication so challenging.
Central to the sociocultural paradigm, then, are two ideas: i) Most nonverbal communication is learned,rather than innate, and, ii) Most non-verbal behaviours do not have inherent meanings, but rather, their meanings are products of social consensus. These principles have found widespread acceptance within the field of human communication, perhaps, in part, because of their considerable intuitive appeal. It is easy to identify examples of behavioural learning simply by considering the apparent influence of parents,teachers, gender roles, cultural norms, and the media on children’s behaviours. Consequently, the paradigm seems to have face validity as an approach that is isomorphic with people’s everyday experiences.
A related strength of the sociocultural paradigm is found in the magnitude of the empirical evidence that has been marshalled in support of it. Perhaps as a result of its intuitive appeal, many researchers have applied the tenets of the paradigm to their own work and have found support for the influence of learning,or for the social embeddedness of meaning, across a wide range of topics, ranging from personality development and child discipline, to gender role acquisition, doctor-patient communication, and the relational messages of nonverbal behaviours.
One potential criticism of the sociocultural paradigm is that its emphasis on the social influences on learning behaviour and creating meaning obscures what may be substantial non-social influences on the same outcomes, including the influence of genetics. Certainly, any paradigm will lead its proponents to attend to particular variables more than others; the problem lies in the potential to misinterpret genetic effects, for instance, as the effects of learning or socialization. An important example derives from the study of parental influence on child personality development. As Harris (1998) noted in her detailed review,there is no shortage of social science research showing that children are more likely than not to grow up with personalities similar to those of their parents. That is, pleasant, affectionate parents tend to rear pleasant, affectionate children, whereas aggressive, violent parents tend to rear children who are likewise aggressive and violent. Working from the framework of the sociocultural paradigm, one would find little difficulty explaining these robust patterns as products of socialization: children observe their parents' behaving in a pleasant, affectionate manner and come to adopt the same disposition themselves. However,as Harris (1995) pointed out, much of the research examining parental-offspring congruence in disposition has failed to control for an important alternative hypothesis: children are similar to their parents because of their genetic relatedness to the parents, not because of how they were socialized. To the extent that researchers in this area have failed to entertain (and, consequently, to control for) such an alternative, therefore, they may run the risk of misattributing—or at least, overattributing—the observed similarity between parents and children to a social influence, when a non-social influence is also operative.
Find out the incorrect statement:
Solution
Option A: This can be inferred from the first paragraph of the passage and hence is not the correct option.
Option B: It is rather human behaviour which is influenced by culture, class, religion, sexuality, power, or other socially maintained factors. As this option is a distorted inference from the passage, this is the correct option.
Option C: This is the second central idea of the sociocultural paradigm and hence, is not the correct option.
Option D: This can be inferred as the main point of the second paragraph and hence is not the correct option.
Which of the following cannot be implied from "This can explain, for instance, not only ......people often find cross-cultural communication so challenging" (2nd para) in the passage:
Solution
"This can explain, for instance, not only why cultures vary one from another in both their behaviours and the meanings of those behaviours,but also why, without access to another culture's knowledge , people often find cross-cultural communication challenging."
Option A: This can be inferred from the underlined portion of the lines from the second paragraph. Thus, this is not the correct option.
Option B: This option can also be inferred from the same part that option A was inferred from. Thus, this is not the correct option.
Option C: From the last part of the underlined portion, this option can again be inferred. Thus, this is also not the correct option.
Option D: According to this option, one has an inbuilt meaning for some of the behaviours, and some are understood from the interaction within their community. Although the second part can be inferred, since the first part is refuted in the passage, this is the correct option.
Thus, the correct option is D.
Which of the following is not true about the criticisms of sociocultural paradigm explained inpassage:
Solution
"To the extent that researchers in this area have failed to entertain (and, consequently, to control for) such an alternative, therefore, they may run the risk of misattributing—or at least, overattributing—the observed similarity between parents and children to a social influence, when a non-social influence is also operative."
Options A and D can be directly inferred from the last paragraph of the passage.
Option C: This can be inferred from the underlined portion of the last lines of the passage. Thus, A, C, and D can be inferred from the passage and are not the correct answer.
Option B: Since the author expressed their disapproval of over-attribution of one influence over another, this option contradicts the position of the author.
Thus, the correct option is B.
Identify the most suitable title for this passage:
Solution
Since the passage starts with the explanation of the Sociocultural Paradigm and ends with the critique of its rejection of the genetic theory, the aptest title would be option D.
Thus, the correct option is D.
Read the following passage:
The ùber philosopher Bertrand Russell presents a particularly toxic variant of my surprise jolt in hisillustration of what people in his line of business call the Problem of Induction or Problem of InductiveKnowledge—certainly the mother of all problems in life.
Consider a turkey that is fed every day. Every single feeding will firm up the bird's belief that it is thegeneral rule of life to be fed every day by friendly members of the human race "looking out for its bestinterests," as a politician would say. On the afternoon of the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, something unexpected will happen to the turkey. It will incur a revision of belief.
What can a turkey learn about what is in store for it tomorrow from the events of yesterday? A lot,perhaps, but certainly a little less than it thinks, and it is just that "little less" that may make all thedifference. The turkey problem can be generalized to any situation where the same hand that feeds youcan be the one that wrings your neck.
Let us go one step further and consider induction's most worrisome aspect: learning backward. Considerthat the turkey's experience may have, rather than no value, a negative value. It learned from observation,as we are all advised to do (hey, after all, this is what is believed to be the scientific method). Itsconfidence increased as the number of friendly feedings grew, and it felt increasingly safe even though theslaughter was more and more imminent. Consider that the feeling of safety reached its maximum when therisk was at the highest! But the problem is even more general than that; it strikes at the nature ofempirical knowledge itself. Something has worked in the past, until—well, it unexpectedly no longer does,and what we have learned from the past turns out to be at best irrelevant or false, at worst viciously misleading.
FIGURE 1: ONE THOUSAND AND ONE DAYS OF HISTORY
A turkey before and after Thanksgiving.
It would appear to a quoting dilettante—i.e., one of those writers and scholars who fill up their texts withphrases from some dead authority—that, as phrased by Hobbes, "from like antecedents flow likeconsequents." Those who believe in the unconditional benefits of past experience should consider this pearlof wisdom allegedly voiced by a famous ship's captain:
But in all my experience, I have never been in any accident. . . of any sort worth speaking about. I haveseen but one vessel in distress in all my years at sea. I never saw a wreck and never have been wreckednor was I ever in any predicament that threatened to end in disaster of any sort.

Captain Smith's ship sank in 1912 in what became the most talked-about shipwreck in history.
What is the central idea of the passage?
Solution
The main argument of the passage is about the unpredictability of future events even with sufficient past observations.
Since the passage is not specifically dealing with human behaviour, options A and B can be discarded.
Cognitive dissonance is the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially relating to behavioural decisions and attitude change. Since it is not the main argument of the passage, option C can also be eliminated.
Option D captures the essence of the passage in the most appropriate manner, and hence is the correct option.
Thus, the correct answer is D.
What does the figure convey?
Solution
The main argument of the passage is about the unpredictability of future events even with sufficient past observations. The figure is an illustration of the main argument presenting the case of the turkey.
Options A and B are totally irrelevant in the context of the passage.
Option D: 'Subterfuge' means deceit used in order to achieve one's goal. Since this is not relevant to the context of the passage, this option can also be eliminated.
Option C: This option is an apt description of the essence of the figure and hence is the correct option.
Thus, the correct option is C.
Identify the INCORRECT idiom:
Solution
Option A is a misrepresentation of the idiom "Like dying duck in a thunderstorm", which means having a hopeless expression.
Thus, option A is the correct option.
Which of the following is a CORRECT statement?
Solution
The main argument of the passage is about the unpredictability of future events even with sufficient past observations.
Options A and C are incongruous to the main point and hence can be easily eliminated.
Popcorning means a series of accidental explosions of anything. Since this is not what the passage is dealing with, this option can also be eliminated.
Option B is a correct inference as it is suggesting the importance of counterintuitive evidence or, in other words, discouraging the overreliance on past experiences.
Thus, the correct answer is B.
For the following questions answer them individually
Select the option with the incorrect spelling:
Solution
Option A is the wrong representation of the word 'insinuate', which means to suggest or hint.
Thus, the correct option is A.
Fill in the blank with appropriate preposition:
The short story has great affinity _____ the novel.

Since the sentence talks about a connection between a short story and a novel, "affinity with" is the appropriate choice.
The only preposition among the four which fits suitably with 'affinity' is 'with'.
Thus, the correct option is A.
A little change or alteration in usage of the article/helping verb may change meaningof a sentence. Below given are the sentences along with their meanings; identify the expressions with thecorrect meaning and choose the right option:
I. Little hope of success - no hope
II. A little hope of success - some hope at least
III. A neighbor to one - living near one
IV. Neighbor to one - kind to one
Solution
Sentence I: This implies a small amount of hope, but in common usage, it often conveys a pessimistic tone, suggesting almost no hope. This is the correct usage.
Sentence II: The addition of the article "a" makes this more positive, indicating a small but definite amount of hope, matching the meaning "some hope at least." This is thus also correct.
Sentence III: The phrase with the article "a" typically refers to someone living near another person, which fits the meaning "living near one." This is also correct.
Sentence IV:
Since all the statements are grammatically correct, the correct option is D.
A little change or alteration in the usage of the article/helping verb may change the meaning of a sentence. Below given are the sentences along with their meanings; identify the expressions with the correct meaning and choose the right option:
I. Go to sea - become a sailor
II. Go to the sea - go on a voyage
III. Go to bed - go to the place where the bed is
IV. Go to the bed - go to sleep
Solution
Since Statement III and IV have the meanings interchanged for their respective phrases and I and II, have the correct meaning of the phrases,
Statement I and II are correct.
Thus, the correct answer is C.

Since on 1st October, the value of the rupee has gotten stronger than its value on 1st February so the investor will be able to draw more dollars for a given amount of rupee and also the Indian stock market has reached the second-highest value among the options given so the value investment is maximum on 1st October in dollars term.
If a person from India Invest Rs. 108,000 in US stock market in the month of January 2019then, on which one of the following dates the investment reaches minimum value in rupee terms?
Solution
Among the given options since the dollar got weak the most on 1st May 2019 and also the US market index fell below the value of the index on 1st January so therefore the minimum value reaches was in 1st May 2019.
Below tables give production and sales data for 4 different categories of vehicles, in last 6 years. In any category, if the production is less than domestic sales and exports then they are imported. If the production is in excess of domestic sales and exports then they are stocked up (inventory is created) to be used in the subsequent years if production does not suffice. There was no inventory at the beginning of year 2014-15.
How many vehicles were imported in the year 2017-18?
Solution
Although the passenger vehicles produced is less than the exports + Domestic Sales, the inventory created in the previous years will suffice the need of passenger vehicles in 2017-18.
So, in 2017-18, only the production of commercial vehicles was less than the domestic sales and exports, so only commercial vehicles were imported.
No. of commercial vehicles imported = 954 - 895 = 59
How many two-wheelers were in the Inventory by the end of 2019 -20?
Solution
The inventory of two-wheelers, which was stored in inventory in 2014-15, was used up in 2015-16 as the production in 2015-16 was less than the sales and exports. The production of two-wheelers was more than the exports and sales of two-wheelers for all the following years. Therefore,
No. of two-wheelers in inventory by the end of 2019-20 = (19934 - 19930) + (23155 - 23015) + (24500 - 244661) + (21036 - 20938) = 4+140+39+98= 281
In which year is the import of vehicles the highest?
Solution
Total vehicles imported in 2015-16 = 53+2 = 55
Total vehicles imported in 2016-17 = 12
Total vehicles imported in 2017-18 = 59
Total vehicles imported in 2018-19 = 24
In which of the following years does the inventory contain the maximum distinct types of vehicles?
Solution
From the table, we can say the for the year 2018-19 the inventory contains commercial vehicles, three-wheelers and two-wheelers.
So there are three distinct types of vehicles which is the maximum number for any year.
Read the following passage:
ABC Ltd is a beverages company which markets and sells six products (Product 1 to Product 6) in Tier-I cities of India. The sales are managed by a team of five sales managers (Raj, Roy, Ravi, James and Rishab)who report to Assistant Vice President of Sales. Each sales manager manages a separate territory. They are given half yearly product-wise target and rewarded with gold points for good performance or penalized with red points for underperformance. They are assessed for each product separately. They earn one gold point if performance for a product is equal to or more than 100% but less than 150%. They earn one more gold point if performance is equal to or more than 150%. These points are considered for promotion. If they earn gold points in two or more products, they get one extra bonus gold point. In case they under perform in a product (i.e. less than 100%), one gold point is deducted provided they have earned through performance in any other product/products but in case they have not earned any gold point they are given a red point. Hence, at the end of assessment, each sales manager can have either gold points or red points, depending on their performance and penalties in six products.
Performance of Manager for a Product (%) $$= \frac{\text{Achievement}}{\text{Target}} \times 100$$
Revenue targets and achievements for the period January - June 2020 are given below.
For which of the following manager -product combination, the performance is closest to 100% ?
Solution
For option Raj-Product 3, the target is 47 and achievement is 46, so Performance = $$\frac{46}{47}\times\ 100=97.87\%$$
For option Raj - Product 4, the target is 83 and achievement is 79, so Performance = $$\frac{79}{83}\times\ 100=95.18\%$$
For option Ravi- Product 1, the target is 90 and achievement is 87, so Performance = $$\frac{90}{87}\times\ 100=96.66\%$$
For option Rishab- Product 2, the target is 97 and achievement is 74, so Performance = $$\frac{74}{97}\times\ 100=86.60\%$$
Who among the following managers has overall average performance closest to 100%?
Solution
Overall performance = $$\frac{total\ achievement}{total\ t\arg et}\times\ 100$$
Overall performance of Raj = $$\frac{357}{409}\times100=87.29\%$$
Overall performance of Roy = $$\frac{299}{396}\times100=75.51\%$$
Overall performance of James = $$\frac{412}{330}\times100=124.85\%$$
Overall performance of Rishab = $$\frac{379}{432}\times100=87.73\%$$
Rishab's performance is closest to 100.
How many managers have performance greater than 150 percent in one or more products?
Solution
From the table we can conclude that Raj, James and Rishab have performance greater than 150% for one or more product.
How many managers will finally get four red points?
Solution
For 4 red points a manger need to get one gold point in one of the products and 5 red points in the remaining products.
Only Roy got one gold point and 5 red points across the products so only 1 manager will have four red points.
Read the following passage:
D Techno, a small firm, has eight employees (Employee IDs 1001 to 1008) working in three departments(Department A, Department B and Department C) who are involved in various planning and executionprocesses of the firm. Department C has more employees than other two departments. Most of theseemployees are involved in both, planning and execution processes, whereas remaining employees are involved in either planning or execution processes only. Employees are rated for their performance usingsix Key Performance Indicators (KPI), three indicators for performance in three planning processes(Planning KPI1 to Planning KPI3) and three indicators for performance in execution processes(ExecutionKPI1 to ExecutionKPI3). Rating varies from zero to ten where ten indicates best performance(Fig A and Fig B). Planning Average Rating is derived as average of all three Planning KPI Ratings andExecution Average Rating is average of all three Execution KPI Ratings (Fig C). Final Weighted Rating isweighted sum of Planning Average Rating and Execution Average Rating. Each department uses its own weightages for planning and execution KPIs to calculate Final Weighted Rating . One of the departmentsgives 40% weightage to Planning Average Rating & 60% to Execution Average Rating, second departmentgives 30% & 70% and third department gives 80% & 20%. Final Weighted Rating of all employees is shown in Fig.D
Figure A
Figure B
Figure C
Figure D
How many employees have got zero rating in any of their six KPI Ratings?
Solution
We can count from the tables given that a total of 6 employees(1003, 1004, 1005, 1006, 1007 and 1008) have got a rating of 0 in at least one of the six KPI ratings.
Who among the following employees is working in Department C?
Solution
From the final weighted rating , planning average rating and execution average rating we can calculate the departments to which they belong on the basis of weightage distribution.
Employee 1001 has a planning average rating of 9 and execution average rating of 3 and final rating is 4.2
Using weighted average method we can say than 20% weightage is given to planning and 80% weightage is given to execution average rating.
Similarly for other employees also we can calculate this
Employees in department which gives 40% weight to planning 60% weightage to execution are 1001, 1002
Employees in department which gives 30% weight to planning 70% weightage to execution are 1003, 1004
Employees in department which gives 20% weight to planning 80% weightage to execution are 1007, 1008, 1005, 1006
Department C has maximum employees so 1005, 1006, 1007, 1008 belong to department C.
How many employees are managing all the six process (three processes of Planning and threeprocesses of Execution)? Hence, they have been rated for all six process KPIs.
Solution
From the charts, we can see that only employees 1001 and 1002 have been rated in all six KPIs, and the rest of the employees have a rating of 0 in one of the six KPIs.
Hence, the correct answer is option A.
Who among the following are working in same department?
Solution
From the final weighted rating , planning average rating and execution average rating we can calculate the departments to which they belong on the basis of weightage distribution.
Employee 1001 has a planning average rating of 9 and execution average rating of 3 and final rating is 4.2
Using weighted average method we can say than 20% weightage is given to planning and 80% weightage is given to execution average rating.
Similarly for other employees also we can calculate this
Employees in department which gives 40% weight to planning 60% weightage to execution are 1001, 1002
Employees in department which gives 30% weight to planning 70% weightage to execution are 1003, 1004
Employees in department which gives 20% weight to planning 80% weightage to execution are 1007, 1008, 1005, 1006
Based on the information answer the questions which follow.
In a toy shop, there are 5 toys, Doll, Teddy Bear, Remote Car, Board Game and an Airplane. The cost price and selling price are among ₹ 950, ₹ 1000, ₹ 1050, ₹1150 and ₹ 1200. The selling prices are different for all toys, and cost prices are different for all toys. The cost price of Remote Car is equal to the selling price of Airplane and on the sale of both the shop incurred a loss. On selling Teddy Bear the shop earned a profit.The profit earned by selling any article is more than ₹ 50 and the profit is not the same for any product.Similarly, the loss incurred for any two products are not same. The toy shop earned a profit on only 2 products. It is also known that the Cost Price of the Board Game is the lowest while the selling price of Teddy Bear is ₹1150. The Profit/Loss made on selling Doll and Teddy Bear are equal in absolute terms.
What is the selling price of Remote Car?
Solution
Let the cost price of the remote car and selling price of airplane be a and the shop incurred a loss on both.
Since the cost price of the board game is the lowest and the selling price and cost price is not same for any toy therefore, a profit was made on the sale of board game.
Only on two products a profit was made so a loss was made on the sale of doll.
As the selling price is different for all articles and also cost price is different for all articles, therefore, value of a cannot be 950 or 1150.
Since a loss was made on the sale of airplane so value of a cannot be 1200 also.
Now since on the sale of doll and remote car a loss was made so their selling price cannot be 1200 which means board game has a selling price of 1200.
Case 1: When a= 1000
Since a loss was made on the sale remote car, so selling price of remote car will be 950 and selling price of doll will be 1050.
A profit was made on the sale of teddy bear so its cost price will be 1050.
Now since loss made on sale of doll and the profit made on sale of teddy bear are equal in absolute terms therefore, cost price of doll will be 1050 and cost price of airplane will be 1200.
Case 2: When a= 1050
Since a profit was made on the sale of teddy bear so its cost price will be 1000.
The profit made on the sale of teddy bear is equal to the loss made on the sale of doll so loss made on doll should be 150 which is only possible if its cost price is 1150 and selling price is 1000.
Therefore, cost price of airplane becomes 1200 which makes loss made on sale of doll equal to loss made on sale of airplane which is not possible so this case is rejected.
What is the difference between the cost price and selling price of Board Game?
Solution
Let the cost price of the remote car and selling price of airplane be a and the shop incurred a loss on both.
Since the cost price of the board game is the lowest and the selling price and cost price is not same for any toy therefore, a profit was made on the sale of board game.
Only on two products a profit was made so a loss was made on the sale of doll.
As the selling price is different for all articles and also cost price is different for all articles, therefore, value of a cannot be 950 or 1150.
Since a loss was made on the sale of airplane so value of a cannot be 1200 also.
Now since on the sale of doll and remote car a loss was made so their selling price cannot be 1200 which means board game has a selling price of 1200.
Case 1: When a= 1000
Since a loss was made on the sale remote car, so selling price of remote car will be 950 and selling price of doll will be 1050.
A profit was made on the sale of teddy bear so its cost price will be 1050.
Now since loss made on sale of doll and the profit made on sale of teddy bear are equal in absolute terms therefore, cost price of doll will be 1050 and cost price of airplane will be 1200.
Case 2: When a= 1050
Since a profit was made on the sale of teddy bear so its cost price will be 1000.
The profit made on the sale of teddy bear is equal to the loss made on the sale of doll so loss made on doll should be 150 which is only possible if its cost price is 1150 and selling price is 1000.
Therefore, cost price of airplane becomes 1200 which makes loss made on sale of doll equal to loss made on sale of airplane which is not possible so this case is rejected.
Which article has a selling price of ₹1050?
Solution
Let the cost price of the remote car and selling price of airplane be a and the shop incurred a loss on both.
Since the cost price of the board game is the lowest and the selling price and cost price is not same for any toy therefore, a profit was made on the sale of board game.
Only on two products a profit was made so a loss was made on the sale of doll.
As the selling price is different for all articles and also cost price is different for all articles, therefore, value of a cannot be 950 or 1150.

Case 1: When a= 1000
Since a loss was made on the sale remote car, so selling price of remote car will be 950 and selling price of doll will be 1050.
A profit was made on the sale of teddy bear so its cost price will be 1050.
Now since loss made on sale of doll and the profit made on sale of teddy bear are equal in absolute terms therefore, cost price of doll will be 1050 and cost price of airplane will be 1200.
Case 2: When a= 1050
Since a profit was made on the sale of teddy bear so its cost price will be 1000.
The profit made on the sale of teddy bear is equal to the loss made on the sale of doll so loss made on doll should be 150 which is only possible if its cost price is 1150 and selling price is 1000.
Therefore, cost price of airplane becomes 1200 which makes loss made on sale of doll equal to loss made on sale of airplane which is not possible so this case is rejected.
Thus, case I is only possible.
So, the correct option is B.
Which statement is true?
Solution
Let the cost price of the remote car and selling price of airplane be a and the shop incurred a loss on both.

A profit was made on the sale of teddy bear so its cost price will be 1050.
Now since loss made on sale of doll and the profit made on sale of teddy bear are equal in absolute terms therefore, cost price of doll will be 1050 and cost price of airplane will be 1200.
Case 2: When a= 1050
Since a profit was made on the sale of teddy bear so its cost price will be 1000.
The profit made on the sale of teddy bear is equal to the loss made on the sale of doll so loss made on doll should be 150 which is only possible if its cost price is 1150 and selling price is 1000.
Therefore, cost price of airplane becomes 1200 which makes loss made on sale of doll equal to loss made on sale of airplane which is not possible so this case is rejected.
In a B-school admission, a candidate is selected based on an entrance exam score and weightage to graduation stream and gender. Selection is also based on interview. There are 6 graduation streams namely, MBBS, Law, Economics, Fashion Technology, CA and Engineering, which are given different weights with a difference of 5 each by the B-school. Silos were created for 10 candidates P, Q, R ,S, T, U, V, W, X and Y to assess their scores and out of 10 candidates, 7 were selected for admission. In a silo not more than 2 candidates are from the same stream. No candidate was selected from Law stream and the final score of each candidate is same as the weightage for the graduation stream. Some more details provided are as follows:
(i). In the silo there are 6 females and 4 males, out of which 4 females and 3 males were selected. One female and one male from the lowest weightage stream were selected with a score of 60.
(ii). Fashion Technology is the stream with highest weightage with only one candidate who is also selected from this stream. R is a male, the only candidate from MBBS and not from the lowest scoring stream, while Q a female is from engineering and is selected.
(iii). CA has a score of 70 in which 2 candidates appeared but only one female was selected.
(iv). T is from Fashion Technology while P is an engineer. V is an unselected male while U scored 65 and is from Economics. 2 candidates from Economics were selected.
(v). W is a selected CA and X and Y are not from the same stream. Y scores 80 while S scores 65.
In how many streams were both the appearing candidates selected?
Solution
From Statement 2, it can be said that R is the only male candidate from MBBS and Q is a selected female engineering student.
From Statement 4, T is in Fashion Technology, and P is an engineer. V is unselected male.
U is from economics and was selected with a score of 65.
From Statement 5, W is a CA, and Y and S scored 80 and 65, respectively.
Thus, 2 students are from Engineering, CA, and Economics, while the Fashion and MBBS have only 1 student. Thus, 2 students are law graduates.
Also, since U and S scored a score of 65 and U is from economics, S will also be from economics.
Since 1 student each from law and CA are left, X and Y are from Law and CA.
Since W scored 70 and Y scored 80, X is a CA graduate, and Y is from the law.
Also, since MBBS does not have the lowest Silo, thus, engineering will have the lowest Silo.
The Silo of MBBS will be 75, and that of the engineer will be 60.
From statement 3, since W is selected, X will not be selected.
Now since 2 law students and 1 CA is not selected, all the other candidates will be selected(since only 3 people were rejected).
Since both the candidates from Engineering and Economics were selected, the correct answer will be 2.
Thus, B is the correct option.
Which statement is always true?
Solution
From Statement 2, it can be said that R is the only male candidate from MBBS and Q is a selected female engineering student.
From Statement 4, T is in Fashion Technology, and P is an engineer. V is unselected male.
U is from economics and was selected with a score of 65.
From Statement 5, W is a CA, and Y and S scored 80 and 65, respectively.
Thus, 2 students are from Engineering, CA, and Economics, while the Fashion and MBBS have only 1 student. Thus, 2 students are law graduates.
Also, since U and S scored a score of 65 and U is from economics, S will also be from economics.
Since 1 student each from law and CA are left, X and Y are from Law and CA.
Since W scored 70 and Y scored 80, X is a CA graduate, and Y is from the law.
Also, since MBBS does not have the lowest Silo, thus, engineering will have the lowest Silo.
The Silo of MBBS will be 75, and that of the engineer will be 60.
From statement 3, since W is selected, X will not be selected.
Now since 2 law students and 1 CA is not selected, all the other candidates will be selected(since only 3 people were rejected).
Since 3 out of 4 males are getting selected and V is already rejected, all the other rejected candidates are female.
Thus, X is a female rejected candidate from CA.
The correct option is C.
What is the maximum possible difference in the scores of the highest scoring selected female candidate and lowest scoring male candidate?
Solution
From Statement 2, it can be said that R is the only male candidate from MBBS and Q is a selected female engineering student.
From Statement 4, T is in Fashion Technology, and P is an engineer. V is unselected male.
U is from economics and was selected with a score of 65.
From Statement 5, W is a CA, and Y and S scored 80 and 65, respectively.
Thus, 2 students are from Engineering, CA, and Economics, while the Fashion and MBBS have only 1 student. Thus, 2 students are law graduates.
Also, since U and S scored a score of 65 and U is from economics, S will also be from economics.
Since 1 student each from law and CA are left, X and Y are from Law and CA.
Since W scored 70 and Y scored 80, X is a CA graduate, and Y is from the law.
Also, since MBBS does not have the lowest Silo, thus, engineering will have the lowest Silo.
The Silo of MBBS will be 75, and that of the engineer will be 60.
From statement 3, since W is selected, X will not be selected.
Now since 2 law students and 1 CA is not selected, all the other candidates will be selected(since only 3 people were rejected).
The maximum possible difference will be when T is female and U/S is male.
The difference in silos = $$85-60=25$$.
Thus, the correct option is C.
If out of 3 selected males, the highest scoring male withdraws admission, then a male from thewaiting list is selected. In the present silo, from which stream will be a male candidate (from the waitinglist) get selected?
Solution
From Statement 2, it can be said that R is the only male candidate from MBBS and Q is a selected female engineering student.
From Statement 4, T is in Fashion Technology, and P is an engineer. V is unselected male.
U is from economics and was selected with a score of 65.
From Statement 5, W is a CA, and Y and S scored 80 and 65, respectively.
Thus, 2 students are from Engineering, CA, and Economics, while the Fashion and MBBS have only 1 student. Thus, 2 students are law graduates.
Also, since U and S scored a score of 65 and U is from economics, S will also be from economics.
Since 1 student each from law and CA are left, X and Y are from Law and CA.
Since W scored 70 and Y scored 80, X is a CA graduate, and Y is from the law.
Also, since MBBS does not have the lowest Silo, thus, engineering will have the lowest Silo.
The Silo of MBBS will be 75, and that of the engineer will be 60.
From statement 3, since W is selected, X will not be selected.
Now since 2 law students and 1 CA is not selected, all the other candidates will be selected(since only 3 people were rejected).
Since only male V is not selected, he will move up the waiting list.
Thus, the correct option is A.
Read the following passage:
Four colleagues A,B,C and D during lunch time which is from 1:00 - 1:30 pm on a given day go for a walkthrough 2 different routes i.e. they exit from one gate and enter from the other one. A straight path, withinthe office, connects Gates 1 and 2. A and B exit from Gate 1 and enter from Gate 2, and again movetowards Gate 1 using the straight path; while C and D exit from Gate 2 and enter from Gate 1, and againmove towards Gate 2 using the straight path. The routes are in clockwise direction i.e. Gate1 to Gate 2 aperson can only walk in clockwise direction and similarly from Gate 2 to Gate 1. It takes 4 minutes to walkfrom Gate 1 exit to Gate 2 entrance and 6 minutes to walk from Gate 2 exit to Gate 1 entrance. The timetaken to walk from Gate 1 to Gate 2 and vice versa within the office is 1 minute. Initially, the colleaguesleave at a gap of 2 minutes each in the order of B, A, C and D during lunch time. Each person starts thenext round of walk immediately after completing the first round.
If A leaves from Gate 1 at 1:02 pm, when will A leave for his third round?
Solution
Since A is moving from Gate 1 to Gate 2 and then coming back to Gate 1, the total time for completion of one round will be 5 minutes.
After completion of 2 rounds, i.e., after 10 minutes, A will leave for the third round.
Thus, the correct answer is B.
If D leaves Gate 2 at 1:15 pm, following the same sequence as stated in the passage, thenwhich of the two colleagues will meet at Gate 2 before 1:30 pm?
Solution
It is given that D left at 1:15. Since, B, A, C, D left at a gap of 2 mins. So, the time at which they left the office will be as follows.
The path taken by A,B takes 4 mins to get them to the opposite gate. And that of C, D takes 6 mins. The time when they reached the other gate is as follows.
The time taken to reach the gate where each started is as follow.
So, C and B meet at gate 2 at 1:13. Also, D and A meet at gate 2 at 1:15.
But these two are not in the options. So, let's check the next cycle.
They start the next cycle immediately after this cycle.
The time they again reach the opposite cycle is as follows.
So, A and C meet at gate 2 at 1:20. So, Option B is correct.
Read the following passage:
On a picnic trip of a company, 3 hotels Trident, Hilton and Park were booked for 90 employees. 6 of theemployees were willing to stay at any hotel. 12 wanted to stay in only Trident. 18 wanted to stay in onlyPark. Only Hilton had two times the employees as there were in Trident and Park only. Only Hilton and Parkhad three less than only Trident and Hilton. Also not more than 7 employees can stay in only Trident andHilton.
How many employees can stay in Hilton?
Solution
Now it is given that the total employees are 90, where $$Y+3\le7\ $$ or $$Y\le4$$
So, $$39+3X+2Y\ =\ 90$$
$$3X+2Y\ =\ 51$$
$$X=\ \frac{\left(51-2Y\right)}{3}$$
Now, since $$Y\le4$$, Y can only be 3.
Thus, X will be 15.
Now, total employees in Hilton = $$2X+2Y+9=36+9=45$$
Thus, the correct option is C.
How many employees can stay in Trident and Hilton only?
Solution
Now it is given that the total employees are 90, where $$Y+3\le7\ $$ or $$Y\le4$$
So, $$39+3X+2Y\ =\ 90$$
$$3X+2Y\ =\ 51$$
$$X=\ \frac{\left(51-2Y\right)}{3}$$
Now, since $$Y\le4$$, Y can only be 3.
Thus, X will be 15.
The number of employees in Trident and Hilton will be Y + 3 = 6.
Thus, the correct answer will be B.
For the following questions answer them individually
Complete the following sequence:
5, 72, 412, 2658, __________?
Solution
The series is in the form of $$2na_n+62\left(n-1\right)\ ,\ n>1$$, where $$a_1=5$$
For n = 2, $$a_2=5\times\ 2+62\times\ 1\ =\ 72$$
For n = 3, $$a_3=72\times\ 4+62\times\ 2\ =\ 412$$
For n = 4, $$a_4=412\times\ 6+62\times\ 3=\ 2658$$
For n = 5, $$a_5=2658\times\ 8+62\times\ 4\ =\ 21512$$
Thus the correct option is C.
