DIRECTIONS for the question : In the following question three words are given below, which have something in common among themselves. Choose one out of the four given alternatives, which mentions the quality common to the three given words.
Harmattan : Chinook : Foehn
Solution
Harmattan: A very dry, dusty easterly or northeasterly wind on the West African coast, occurring from December to February. It is often called "The Doctor" because it brings relief from high humidity.
Chinook: A warm, dry wind that blows down the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains in North America. It is known as the "Snow Eater" because it can melt large amounts of snow very quickly.
Foehn: A warm, dry, southerly wind off the northern slopes of the Alps in Europe. It is a rain-shadow wind that results from the subsequent adiabatic warming of air that has dropped most of its moisture on windward slopes.
Since all three are specific meteorological phenomena involving air movement, the common quality is that they are Winds (Option A).

DIRECTION for the question: Solve the following question and mark the best possible option.
After distributing the sweets equally among 25 children, 8 sweets remain. Had the number of children been 28, 22 sweets would have been left after equal distribution. What was the total number of sweets?
Solution
Let us assume that the total number of sweets = N.
N = 25a + 8 where "a" sweets are given to each one of the 25 children and,
N = 28b + 22 where "b" sweets are given to each one of the 28 children.
Equating them, we get: 25a - 28b = 14 ==> 25a = 14 (2b + 1)
Possible values for (a,b) are (14, 12), (42, 37),... and so on.
Possible values of N = 358, 1058,.. and so on.
Thus, out of the given options, the correct answer is Option A.

DIRECTIONS for the question: Solve the following question and mark the best possible option.
In a cricket match ,five batsmen A, B, C, D and E. scored an average of 36 runs. D scored 5 more than E; E scored 8 fewer than A; B scored as many as D and E combined; and B and C scored 107 between them. How many runs did E score?
Solution
Let us assume that B scored B runs.
Runs of B and C = 107, so C scored 107 - B runs.
B = D + E where D = E + 5. So, B = 2E + 5 and E = (B-5)/2.
D = (B+5)/2.
E = A-8, so A = E + 8 ==> (B+11)/2.
sum of runs of A, B, C, D and E = $$\frac{B+11}{2}+B+\left(107-B\right)+\frac{B+5}{2}+\frac{B-5}{2}=\frac{3B}{2}+112.5$$.
As their average is 36, the sum of their runs is also 5*36 = 180.
So, $$180=\frac{3B}{2}+112.5$$ ==> B = 45.
Runs scored by E = (B-5)2 = 20.
DIRECTIONS for the question: Solve the following question and mark the best possible option.
If the numbers from 5 to 85 which are exactly divisible by 5 are arranged in descending order, which would come at the eleventh place from the bottom?
Solution
The arrangement of numbers will look like: 85, 80, 75, .... 5
==> 5*17, 5*16, 5*15,...,5*1.
1st term from the bottom is 1st multiple, 2nd term is 2nd multiple, so nth term will be n th multiple.
So, 11th number will be the 11th multiple i.e. 55.

Pointing to a photograph, a man said, 'I have to brother or sister but that man's father is my father's son. Whose, photograph was it?
Solution
Let us assume that the man in the photo is X.
Now, X's father is his father's son i.e. X's father is either him or his brother.
But, we are explicitly given that he has no brother or sister which means that X is hos own son.
Thus, the correct answer is Option B.
DIRECTIONS for the question: The following question consists of six statements (A, B, C, D, E and F) followed by options consisting of three statements put together in a specific order.
Choose the option which indicates a valid argument containing logically related statements that is, where the third statement is a conclusion drawn from the preceding two statements.
A. Some abra are dabra
B. All abra are cabra
C. All dabra are abra
D. All dabra are not abra
E. Some cabra are abra
F. Some cabra are dabra
Solution
BCE (Option A): Since all abra are cabra (B) and all dabra are abra (C), then by nesting the sets, it is logically certain that some cabra are abra (E).
AEF (Option B): Knowing some abra are dabra (A) and all abra are cabra (B) proves some cabra are dabra, but some cabra are dabra (F) is redundant as a conclusion for this specific sequence's internal logic.
ABD (Option C): Some abra are dabra (A) and all abra are cabra (B) actually contradicts the conclusion that all dabra are not abra (D).
BCF (Option D): If all abra are cabra (B) and all dabra are abra (C), it proves all dabra are cabra, but it doesn't inherently link them to the specific subset "some" in a way that makes some cabra are dabra (F) the primary logical conclusion.
FEB (Option E): Knowing some cabra are dabra (F) and some cabra are abra (E) does not provide enough information to conclude that all abra are cabra (B).
Thus, the answer is Option A.

Two ladies and two men are playing cards and are seated at North, East, South and West of a table. No lady is facing East. Persons sitting opposite to each other are not of the same gender. One man is facing South. Which directions are the ladies facing?
Solution
We will assume the persons to be M1 M2 L1 L2 where M1 M2 are men and L1 L2 are ladies.
If M1 is facing South then a lady must be facing North as Persons sitting opposite to each other are not of the same gender.
There are only 2 directions left and no lady is facing East which implies that the other lady is facing West.
So, L1 L2 are facing North and West.
DIRECTIONS for the question: In the following question, four out of the five alternatives are same in certain way and so form a group. Find the odd one that does not belong to the group.
Solution
The odd one out is Sky.
The logic is based on the distinction between celestial bodies and the space they occupy:
Planet, Star, Comet, and Moon are all distinct celestial objects or physical bodies found in space.
Sky is the region or the expanse above the Earth in which these celestial bodies appear to be located.
In simpler terms, the first four are "things" in the universe, while the sky is the "view" or atmosphere where we see them.

Five boys are standing in a row facing East. Deepak is to the left of Sameer, Tushar and Shailendra. Sameer, Tushar and Shailendra are to the left of Sushil. Shailendra is between Sameer and Tushar. If Tushar is fourth from the left, how far is Sameer from the right?
Solution
Deepak is to the left of Sameer, Tushar and Shailendra. Sameer, Tushar and Shailendra are to the left of Sushil.
These statements imply that Deepak is 1st from left and Sushil is 5th from left.
Shailendra is between Sameer and Tushar. This implies that he is 3rd from left.
The 2 possible arrangements are: Deepak Sameer Shailendra Tushar Sushil OR Deepak Tushar Shailendra Sameer Sushil.
If Tushar is fourth from the left, Sameer is also 4th from the right i.e. Option D.

DIRECTION for the question: Solve the following question and mark the best possible option.
If the first day of the year (other than the leap year) was Friday, then which was the last day of that year?
Solution
Last day of a non leap year = first day + 364 .
Now, we calculate the odd days which is the remainder when 364 is divided by 7 = 0.
So, the day on last day of the year = Friday + 0 = Friday.
DIRECTION for the question: Solve the following question and mark the best possible option.
If $$18^{th}$$ February, 1997 falls on Tuesday, then what will be the day on $$18^{th}$$ February, 1999?
Solution
We will count the number of odd days.
Odd days per year = 1 and odd days per leap year = 2.
As both 1997 and 1998 are not leap years, the number of odd days = 1 + 1 = 2.
Thus, the day on 18th Feb 1999 will be Tuesday + 2 = Thursday i.e. Option A.

Following the same pattern, $$16\times\ ?=20^2$$.
This gives the value of ? = 25.
DIRECTIONS for the question: The following question consists of six statements (A, B, C, D, E and F) followed by options consisting of three statements put together in a specific order.
Choose the option which indicates a valid argument containing logically related statements that is, where the third statement is a conclusion drawn from the preceding two statements.
A. An ostrich lays eggs.
B. All birds lay eggs.
C. Some birds can fly.
D. An ostrich can not fly.
E. An ostrich is a bird.
F. An ostrich can not swim
Solution
DEC (Option A): Knowing an ostrich cannot fly (D) and is a bird (E) doesn't prove that some birds can fly (C); it only proves that some birds cannot fly.
BEA (Option B): If all birds lay eggs (B) and an ostrich is a bird (E), it logically follows that an ostrich lays eggs (A).
ABE (Option C): Knowing an ostrich lays eggs (A) and all birds lay eggs (B) does not prove an ostrich is a bird (E), as other non-bird animals (like reptiles) also lay eggs.
ECB (Option D): Knowing an ostrich is a bird (E) and some birds can fly (C) provides no logical basis to conclude that all birds lay eggs (B).
DEF (Option E): Knowing an ostrich cannot fly (D) and is a bird (E) has no logical connection to whether or not an ostrich can swim (F).
Thus, the answer is Option B.
DIRECTIONS for the question: Solve the following question and mark the best possible option.
At a dinner party every two guests used a bowl of rice between them, every three guests used a bowl of dal between them and every four used a bowl of meat between them. Them were altogether 65 dishes. How many guests were present at the party?
Solution
Let us assume that there were 12x guests.
Number of bowls of rice used = 12x/2 = 6x.
Number of bowls of Dal used = 12x/3 = 4x.
Number of bowls of meat used = 12x/4 = 3x.
Total number of bowls used = 13x which is equal to 65. This gives value of x = 5 and number of guests i.e. 12 to be 60.

DIRECTIONS for the question: Solve the following question and mark the best possible option.
Mrs. Susheela celebrated her wedding anniversary on Tuesday, $$30^{th}$$ September, 1997. When will she celebrate her next wedding anniversary on the same day?
Solution
To celebrate her wedding on the exact same day, the year of next celebration should have either 0 or 7 or 14...odd days.
It means that if there are N days to the next day of celebration, then remainder when N is divided by 7 should be 0.
We know that every non leap year has +1 odd days and every leap year has +2 odd days.
30th Sept. 1998 --> +1
30th Sept. 1999 --> +1
30th Sept. 2000 --> +2
30th Sept. 2001 --> +1
30th Sept. 2002 --> +1
30th Sept. 2003 --> +1
Sum of all these odd days = 7 which means that day on 30th Sept. 2003 will be Tuesday + 7 = Tuesday.
DIRECTIONS for the question: Solve the following question and mark the best possible option.
Radha moves towards South-east a distance of 7 km , then she moves towards West and travels a distance of 14 m. From here, she moves towards North-west a distance of 7 m and finally she moves a distance of 4 m towards East and stood at that point.
How far is the starting point from where she stood?
Solution
The person first travelled from A to B for 7 kms then travelled to C for 14kms and then to D for 7kms again.
The quadrilateral ABCD formed from this movement is a parallelogram and thus BC should be equal to AD i.e. 14 kms.
Now, he travelled from D to E(towards East) for 4kms. This means that the distance between starting point i.e. A and E is 14- 4 = 10 kms.
DIRECTIONS for the question: Solve the following question and mark the best possible option.
Robin says,"If Jai gives me Rs. 40, he will have half as much, as Atul, but if Atul gives me Rs. 40, then the three of us will have the same amount". What is the total amount of money that Robin, Jai and Atul have between them?
Solution
Let us assume the amounts with the them to be R, J and A.
If Atul gives 40 to Robin, A - 40 = R + 40 = J.
A = J+40, R = J-40.
If Jai gives 40 to Robin, J - 40 = half of J + 40. This gives J = 120.
So, A = 160 and R = 80.
Total amount with them = 120 + 160 + 80 = 360.
DIRECTION for the question: In the following question, find out which of the letter-series follows the given rule.
Number of letters skipped in reverse order in between adjacent letters in the series is constant.
Solution
If we consider the letters from right to left, in SPMJG, between any 2 consecutive letters, the number of letters skipped is 2 and it is constant for any pair.
Thus, the correct answer is Option A.
DIRECTIONS for the question: In the following letter series, some of the letters are missing which are given in that order as one of the alternatives below it. Choose the correct alternative.
aab _ ab _ cabcca _ bcab _ c
Solution
aab_ab_cabcca_bcab_c
The series can be divided into a group of 4:
aab_ / ab_c / abcc / a_bc / ab_c
In every group, abc letters are used but a single letter is repeated.
In the first group, the repeated letter is "a", in the 2nd, it is "b", in the 3rd group, it is "c" and so on...
Thus, completed series will look like:
aabc / abbc / abcc / aabc / abbc
and the gaps are filled by: cbab.

Which two months in a year have the same calendar?
A, B, C, D, E, F and G are standing in a straight line facing North with equal distances between them, not necessarily in the same order. Each one is pursuing, a different profession - actor, reporter, doctor, engineer, lawyer, teacher and painter not necessarily in the same order. G is fifth to the left of C. The reporter is third to the right of G. F is fifth to the right of A. E is second to the left of B. The engineer is second to the left of D. There are only three people between the engineer and the painter. The doctor is to the immediate left of the engineer. The lawyer is to the immediate right of the teacher.
Four of the following five are alike in a certain way based on the given standing arrangement and so form a group. Which of the following does not belong to the group?
Solution
We are given that G is 5th to the left of C. There are only 2 cases possible:
Case 1: _ G _ _ _ _ C. F is fifth to the right of A. This gives only 1 possibility:
A G _ _ _ F C.
E is 2nd to the left of B. This also gives only 1 possibility:
A G E _ B F C and the remaining place is taken by D:
A G E D B F C. Reporter is 3rd to the right of G and engineer is 2nd to the left of D and doctor is to the immediate left of engineer.
A(doctor) G(engineer) E D B(reporter) F C.
There are only 3 people between engineer and painter and the Lawyer is to the immediate right of the Teacher which is only possible when E is Teacher and D is the Lawyer.
The final arrangement will look like:
A(doctor) G(engineer) E(Teacher) D(Lawyer) B(reporter) F(painter) C(actor).
Case 2: G _ _ _ _ C_. F is fifth to the right of A. This gives only 1 possibility:
G A _ _ _ C F.
E is 2nd to the left of B. This also gives only 1 possibility:
G A E _ B C F and the remaining place is taken by D:
G A E D B C F. Reporter is 3rd to the right of G and engineer is 2nd to the left of D and doctor is to the immediate left of engineer.
G(doctor) A(engineer) E D(reporter) B F C.
There are only 3 people between engineer and painter which means that F will be the painter and the Lawyer is to the immediate right of the Teacher which is not possible in this arrangement.
Thus, Case 2 is invalidated and the only final arrangement is :
A(doctor) - G(engineer) - E(Teacher) - D(Lawyer) - B(reporter) - F(painter) - C(actor).
Only BFC is the correct sequence according to the arrangement and that's why it is the odd one out.
Which of the following statement is true according to the given arrangement?
Solution
We are given that G is 5th to the left of C. There are only 2 cases possible:
Case 1: _ G _ _ _ _ C. F is fifth to the right of A. This gives only 1 possibility:
A G _ _ _ F C.
E is 2nd to the left of B. This also gives only 1 possibility:
A G E _ B F C and the remaining place is taken by D:
A G E D B F C. Reporter is 3rd to the right of G and engineer is 2nd to the left of D and doctor is to the immediate left of engineer.
A(doctor) G(engineer) E D B(reporter) F C.
There are only 3 people between engineer and painter and the Lawyer is to the immediate right of the Teacher which is only possible when E is Teacher and D is the Lawyer.
The final arrangement will look like:
A(doctor) G(engineer) E(Teacher) D(Lawyer) B(reporter) F(painter) C(actor).
Case 2: G _ _ _ _ C_. F is fifth to the right of A. This gives only 1 possibility:

The ratio of the ages of a man and his wife is 4 : 3. After 4 years, th is ratio will be 9 : 7. If at the time of their marriage, the ratio of their ages was 5 : 3, then how many years ago were they married?
Solution
Let us assume their current ages to be 4x and 3x respectively.
After 4 years, the ratio becomes 9:7
==> $$\frac{4x+4}{3x+4}=\frac{9}{7}$$
==> x = 8.
Present ages of the man and his wife are 32 and 24 respectively.
Let y years ago, they had their marriage and the ratio of their ages was 5:3.
$$\frac{32-y}{24-y}=\frac{5}{3}$$
==> y = 12 years.

Solution
Let us assume that the attendance on the three days was 2, 5 and 13 people respectively.
Total amount charged = 2*15 + 5*7.5 + 13*2.5 = 100.
The average charge per person = $$\frac{Total}{Total\ attendance}=\frac{100}{2+5+13}=\frac{100}{20}=5$$ Rs.

The average of 10 numbers is 40.2. Later it is found that two numbers have been wrongly copied. The first is 18 greater than the actual number and the second number added is 13 instead of 31. Find the correct average.
Solution
Incorrect average of 10 numbers is 40.2 which makes the incorrect sum = 40.2*10 = 402.
The first is 18 greater than the actual number which means that the actual sum will be 18 lesser.
Also, we need to remove 13 and add 31 instead.
This makes the actual sum = 402 - 18 -13 + 31 = 402.
Thus, the actual average = 402/10 = 40.2.

A boat takes 90 minutes less to travel 36 miles downstream than to travel the same distance upstream. If the speed of the boat in still water is 10 mph, the speed of the stream is :
Solution
Let us assume the speed of stream = x mph.
Speed going downstream = 10 + x mph
Speed going upstream = 10 - x mph.
Difference in time taken to cover 36 miles ==> $$\frac{36}{10-x}-\frac{36}{10+x}$$
This is equal to 90 mins = 1.5 hrs.
$$36\left(\frac{1}{10-x}-\frac{1}{10+x}\right)=1.5$$
$$24\left(10+x\ -\ 10+x\right)=\left(10+x\right)\left(10-x\right)$$
$$48x\ =\ 100\ -\ x^2$$
$$x^2+48x-100=0$$
$$\left(x+50\right)\left(x-2\right)=0$$
This gives x = 2 mph.
So, the speed of stream = 2 mph.

The owner of a boutique decides to calculate the percentage of customers who purchase hats. If 40 percent of the store's customers decide to purchase items, and of those customers 15 percent purchase hats, what percent of the store's customers purchase hats ?
Solution
Let us assume that the store has a total of 100 customers.
Out of these, 40% purchase items i.e. 0.4*100 = 40 customers.
Out of these 40 customers, 15% purchase hats i.e. 0.15*40 = 6 people.
These amount to 6% of the Total customers.
DIRECTION for the question: Solve the following question and mark the best possible option.
A man sells an article at a gain of 15%. If he had bought it at 10% less and sold it for Rs 4 less, he would have gained 25%. Find the cost price of the article
Solution
Let us assume the Cost Price = 100x.
As he gained 15%, the SP = 115x.
The new CP is 10% lesser than the original = 90x and the new SP = 115x - 4.
As he gained 25% with this SP over new CP, we can say that:
1.25*90x = 115x - 4
112.5x = 115x - 4
2.5x = 4
x = 1.6.
The Cost price = 100x = 160 Rs.

One quality of wheat at Rs. 9.30 per kg is mixed with another quality at a certain rate in the ratio 8 : 7. If the mixture so formed be worth Rs. 10 per kg, what is the rate per kg of the second quality of wheat?
Solution
Solution:
Let the rate of another quality wheat be Rs 'a'/kg.
Let the amount of 1st and 2nd quality wheats be '8x' Kg and '7x' Kg respectively
So, $$\ \frac{\ 9.3\times\ 8x\ \ +\ \ a\times\ 7x}{8x+7x}=10$$
7a=75.6
a=Rs 10.8/Kg
Option A is the answer.
Alternate Solution:
$$\ \frac{\ x-10}{10-9.3}=\frac{8}{7}$$
7(x-10)=8*0.7
x=Rs 10.8/Kg
Option A is the answer.

Case 2: 1st card is hearts and 2nd card is spades. Probability of this cases = $$\frac{13}{52}\times\ \frac{13}{51}$$.
So, Overall probability = $$2\times\ \frac{13}{52}\times\ \frac{13}{51}=\frac{13}{102}$$.

David and Michael together can finish a job in 4 days 19 hrs 12 min. If David works at two-thirds Michael's speed, how long does it take Michael alone to finish the same job?
Solution
We will assume that the efficiency of Michael = 3x units per min and David's efficiency will be 2/3 * 3x = 2x units per min.
Together, their efficiency is 5x units/min and the total time taken by them to finish the job is (4*24 + 19)*60 + 12 mins = 6912 mins.
So, the total work = 6912*5x units.
Michael alone can do this job in $$\frac{6912\times\ 5x}{3x}=2304\times\ 5\min\ =192hrs\ =8\ days$$.

Excluding stoppages, the speed of a train in 45 km/h and including stoppages, it is 36 km/h. For how many minutes does the train stop per hour?
Solution
For a fixed distance, ratio of speeds is inverse to the ratio of time taken.
So, the ratio of time with stoppages and without stoppages = 45 : 36 = 5:4 = 60 : 48.
For every 60 mins of trave time with stoppages, the train travelled without stoppages for 48 mins.
This means that the train stopes for 60 - 48 = 12 mins every hour.

In a mixture of 45 litres, the ratio of milk and water is 4 : 1. How much water must be added to make the mixture ratio 3 : 2?
Solution
In the mixture, amount of milk = $$\frac{4}{5}\times\ 45=36$$ and water = $$\frac{1}{5}\times\ 45=9$$.
Let us assume that the water added is X litres.
Now, 36 : 9+X = 3:2.

A jogger running at 9 kmph alongside a railway track is 240 meters ahead of the engine of a 120 metre long train running at 45 kmph in the same direction. In how much time will the train pass the jogger?
Solution
In order to completely pass the jogger, the train rear's end should cross the jogger.
For this, the train will first cover the 240m distance that is between them and then 120m distance that is the lenght of the train.
So, the total distance to be covered is 240+120 = 360m.
The relative speed to cover this distance = 45 - 9 = 36 km/hr as the train and the jogger are moving in the same direction. This speed in m/sec = $$36\times\ \frac{5}{18}=10\ $$m/sec.
So, the time taken by the train to completely pass the jogger is 360/10 = 36 seconds.

Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 15 hours and 20 hours respectively while a third pipe C can empty the full tank in 25 hours. All the three pipes are opened in the beginning. After 10 hours, C is closed. In how much time will the tank be full?
Solution
Let us assume the capacity of the tank to be 300 litres i.e. LCM of 15, 20 and 25.
This gives the efficiencies of A, B and C to be 20, 15 and 12 litres per hour respectively.
For the first 10 hours, all of the pipes worked together so they filled 10*(20 + 15 - 12) = 230 litres of water.
Water to be filled = 300 - 230 = 70 litres and the total efficiency after 10 hrs is 20+15 = 35 litres/hour. So, it will take 2 more hours to fill the remaining tank.
Total time taken to fill the tank = 10 + 2 = 12 hrs.

People very often complain that poverty is a great evil and that it is not
possible to be happy unless one has a lot of money. Actually, this is not
necessarily true. Even a poor man, living in a small hut with none of the
comforts and luxuries of life, may be quite contented with his lot and achieve
a measure of happiness. On the other hand, a very rich man, living in a
palace and enjoying everything that money can buy, may still be miserable,
if, for example, he does not enjoy good health or his only son has taken to
evil ways. Apart from this, he may have a lot of business worries which keep

Half way through we started finding snow all around us, but, the boy in me by then was once again lost into oblivion. I found myself lagging behind and often falling down on the soft snow due to soft foam rubber soles of my shoes.
A laughing stock I was. But soon I found strong, healthy arms supporting me. I pleaded, "Let me go, I'll not be able to make it," but they would not let me.
They were the arms of two hill folks who as people, had been described as withdrawn, selfish and aloof by my friends from the plains.

We are tempted to assume that technological progress is real progress and that material success is the criterion of civilisation. If the Eastern people become fascinated by machines and techniques and use them, as western nations do, to build huge industrial organisations and large military establishments, they will get involved in power politics and drift into the danger of death. Scientific and technological civilisation brings great opportunities and great rewards but also great risks and temptations. Science and technology are neither good nor bad.
