MAT 2009 Question Paper
Fill in the blanks.
When you are living with your ........... values and principles you can be straightforward, honest and ..........
Solution
When you live by your core values and principles, it means you follow the beliefs that truly define who you are. These values guide your decisions and actions, helping you stay honest and true to yourself. The phrase "up-front" means being open, direct, and honest in communication. When someone has strong values, they don’t feel the need to hide their thoughts or actions—they can speak and act with confidence.
The other options don’t fit as well because "inherited values" refer to beliefs passed down from others, which may not always align with personal honesty. "Innate" values are natural but don’t necessarily make a person direct, and "cultural values" come from society rather than personal conviction. That’s why "core - up-front" is the best choice.
In the role of a counsellor, you are an authority figure whose objective is to .......... attentively andsensitively to employees who ............. you with their feelings.
Solution
As a counselor, your role is to listen attentively and sensitively to employees who trust you with their feelings. This makes the most logical and meaningful sense in the context of the sentence.

Long popular among the connoisserus of Indian music, Ravi Shankar first impressed western listeners with his phenomenal technical virtuosity, but they soon came appreciate his music as an artful expression of an older culture’s musical insight.
Each question has a group of sentences marked A, B, C and D. Arrange these to form a logical sequence.
A. We tend to see the similarity within a category as being more important, and the similarity between different categories as being less important, than either actually is.
B. Given a small amount of information about a person, we are ready to classify them as a member of a particular group, and then to infer all kinds of additional facts about them, asif all members of the group were the same in most respects.
C. Our tendency to classify and label everything can lead us into the error of seeing the world as made upof only those categories for which we have names.
D. Expecting too much of the descriptive power of languagesis itself a serious cause of distored thinking
A. Some of us, as a result, gain an overall impression of people as either all good or all bad, making further assumptions on this basis.
B. An exampleof the assumption some patients make that doctors with a good “bedside manner” are also more techically competent as others who do not relate as well to their patients.
C. This is what the psychologists refer to as halo effect.
D. We have a strong tendency of associate Positive attributes with other positive attributes and negative ones with each other.
A. In the past, the customized tailoring units were localized to the township or city and catered exclusively to domestic demand
B. Traditionally, Indian preferred custom made clothing and the concept of ready to wear is a relatively recent one.
C. Consumer awareness of styling issues and the convenience afforded by ready to wear helped the RMG industry make small in roads into the domestic market in the 1980s.
D. The customized tailoring outfits have always been a major source of clothing for domestic market.
A. Participation involves more than the formal sharing of decisions.
B. Through anticipation, individuals or organizations consider trends and make plans, shielding institutions from trauma of learning by shock.
C. Innovative learning involves both anticipation and participation.
D. It is an attitude characterized by the cooperation, dialogue and empathy.
Solution
C introduces the main concept of innovative learning and states that it involves both anticipation and participation. This serves as a strong opening statement since it sets the context for the subsequent details.
B expands on the concept of anticipation, explaining how it helps individuals or organizations prepare for the future by predicting trends and reducing the impact of unexpected changes.
A then elaborates on the second aspect, participation, explaining that it goes beyond just formal decision-making.
D further clarifies what true participation means, describing it as an attitude that emphasizes cooperation, dialogue, and empathy. This provides a more detailed understanding of the concept introduced in A.
Hence, the answer is CBAD.
Each of these questions has a Sentence with four alternatives. Choose the alternative which best conveys the content of the given sentence correctly.
No officer had ought to be put into a situation where he has to choose between his love for his family and the responsibilities accompanying his duty.
Solution
The correct sentence is "No officer ought to be put into a situation in which he has to choose between his love for his family and the responsibilities accompanying his duty."
The phrase "ought to" is correctly used here, and "in which" is more formal and precise than "where" when referring to a situation. The other alternatives either misuse "ought to" or have incorrect phrasing.

For the following questions answer them individually
Many of the junk foods on the market today, doughnuts, burgers and pizza, have less nutrients than natural foods, which were dominant a decade or two ago. Many nutritionists claim that pizza and doughnuts give less nourishment than natural foods. A spokesman of a leading junk food company - pizza House - stated recently that an examination of grade school students shows less nutritional deficiency than in their parents’ time. Hence, foods are not as bad as made outto be. Which of the following, if true, would tend to strengthen the view of the spokesman ?
Solution
Fewer junk foods were available to the parents. This strengthens the author's argument because if fewer junk foods were available to the parents, and if children today are showing fewer nutritional deficiencies, it implies that the availability of junk food may not be as harmful as previously thought.
Throughout the first decade of the $$21^{st}$$ century, net increase in Indian direct investments in the Far East (funds outflows) exceeded net new Far East direct investment in India. Each of the following if true, could help to account for this trend except
Of the world’s largest AIDS cases countries in 2010, three had the same share of world AIDS patients as they had in 2000. These three countries may serve as examples of countries that succeeded in holding steady their share of the AIDS disease. Which of the following, if true, would most seriously undermine the idea that these countries serve as examples as described above?
The cost of housing in many urban parts of India has become so excessive that many young couples, with above-average salaries, can only afford small apartments. EMI and rent commitments are so huge that they can not consider the possibility of starting a family since a new baby would probably mean either the mother or father giving up a well paid position-something theycan ill afford. The lack of or great cost of child-care facilities further precludesthe return of both parents to work.
Which of the following adjustments could practically be made to the situation described above which would allow young couples to improve their housing prospects?

Passage I:
After President George W. Bush signed the United States -India Nuclear Cooperation Bill, he called up Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to tell him how pleased he was at this development. While welcoming this event, the Prime Minister took the opportunity to tell the President that there remained areas of concern that needed to be addressed during the negotiation of the bilateral agreement (called the 123 agreement, after the relevant clause number in the US Atomic Energy Act, 1954) The US has entered into some twenty-five 123 agreements with various countries, including the one concerning Tarapur. The Tarapur agreement concluded in 1963 was unique in that it guaranteed supplies of enriched uranium fuel from the US for running the Tarapur reactorsfor their entirelife. However,after 1987 the US did not supply fuel saying its domestic legislation under the Nuclear Non- Proliferation Act preventedit from doing so. India argued that Tarapur was an inter-governmental agreement and henceit had to be honoured by the US. Later, US allowed France to supply fuel to India. Subsequently, the USSR (now Russia) and even China supplied fuel for Tarapur. The lesson from the Tarapur episode is that U.S. breached with impunityeven a castiron guarantee it had furnished. Considerable
bitterness grew betweenthe U.S. and India and extended to manyother areas beyond the nuclear one. When India agreed, reluctantly, in March 2006 to put imported reactors under “safeguards in perpetuity’, the US consented to the Indian insistence on assurances of fuel supply. This meant India could build up a stockpile of fuel to tide over disruption in supply and the US and Britain would arrange alternate supplies. The US would agree to work with other countries namely Russia, France, and Britain to arrange alternate supplies. The US legislation, based on the HydeBill, forbids India building up a stockpile of Nuclear fuel. It also obligates U.S. administration to work with other nuclear Supplier Group countries to get them to suspend supplies to India, if the U.S. has done so under someprovision of the Hyde Bill. It is not evident how the U.S. can address the legitimate concerns of India on continued fuel supply, given the boundaries set by the Hyde Bill. With regard to future nuclear tests, the Prime Minister has said, India is only committed to a voluntary moratorium. A moratorium is only a temporary holding off of an activity, conditioned by specific circumstances obtained atthe time when such a declaration was made. It can not be construed as a permanent ban. The Hyde Bill has sought to make the moratorium into a permanent ban. However, there is no such restraint imposed on the US, China, Pakistan or any other country. In bringing up this issue, I do not wish to suggest resumption of tests by India. But Indian can not prevent other countries from carrying out tests. It is, therefore, unacceptable that India forfeits its right to test for all time to come under the agreement with the US Even if the 123 agreement is silent on the issue, Indian negotiators must put this issue on the table. The Hyde Bill calls for suspension ofall cooperation and fuel supplies and even calls for return of all equipment and materials supplies earlier in the event of test. It baffles one how India can return reactor installations that might have been operated a few years, were such a contingency to arise in future. The differences over the definition of “full civilian nuclear cooperation” have been discussed in the media. The Indian understanding was that reprocessing of spent fuel, enrichment of uranium, and production of heavy water also formed part of the term ‘full civilian nuclear cooperation.” In the congressional debate, it has been noted that these were construed by the USto be in the nature of military activites and notcivilian, India’s future plans for thorium utilisation for civil nuclear power depend crucially on reprocessing. Similarly, civil nuclear power units using natural uranium require heavy wateras reactor coolant and moderator. Equally if India were to embark on a sizeable light water reactor programme, it may like to have control on supply ofenriched uranium for economic and supply security reasons. India has technologies of its own in these areas and will develop them further in the years ahead. If the Indo-US agreement moves ahead in the manner its sponsors have speculated, in a few decades from now some 90 per centof the nuclear installations in India would be open to International Atomic Energy Agency inspections. In that scenario, how can India reconcile to the embargo from nuclear advanced countries on the export of enrichment, Teprocessing and heavy water technologies. Even if the issue were to be papered over now, it will then look from India’s point of view to have been a very bad bargain.
What is the Indian understanding of the definition of “full civilian nuclear cooperation”?
With referenceto the passage, select which ofthe following statement(s) is/are incorrect ?
A: US did not supply fuel to India after 1987.
B: The Hyde bill calls for suspensionofall cooperation and fuel supplies.
C: India can preventother countries from carrying out the test.
What was the uniqueness of the Tarapur agreement that was concluded in 1963?
Which of the following countries supplied fuel for Tarapur?

Passage II:
Not even a three-day brainstroming session among top psychologists at the Chinese University could unravel one of the world’s greatest puzzles-how the Chinese mindticks. Michael Bond had reason to pace the pavement of the Chinese University campus last week. The psychologist
who co-ordinated and moderated a three day seminar in Chinese psychology and most of the participants came a long way to knock head. “If a bombhits this building, muttered Bond, half-seriously, “it would wipe out the whole discipline.” But the only thing that went off in the Cho Yiu. Conference hall of Chinese University was the picking of brains, the pouring outof brains and a refrain from an on-going mantra: “More work needsto be done’ or ‘we don't know.”Eachofthe 36 participants was allowed 30 minutes plus use of an over-head projector to condense years of research into data and theories. Their contents spilled over from 20 are as of Chinese behaviour, including reading, learning styles, sychopathology, social interaction personaticty and modernisation. An over-riding question for observers, however, was why,in this group of
21 Chinese and 15 non-Chinese, weren't there more professionals from mainland China presenting research on the indigenous people? MichaelPhilips, a psychiatrist who works in Hubei Province, explained : “The Cultural Revolution silenced and froze the research”, said the
Canadian born doctor whohaslived and worked in China for more then 10 years. “And 12 years later, research is under waybut it is roo early to have anything yet. Besides, most of the models being used are from the West anything.”In such a specialised field, how can non-Chinese academics do research without possessing fluency in Chinese? These who cannot read, write or speak the language usually team up with Chinese colleagues. “In 10 years, we won't beable to do this. It’s a moneything,”said William Gabrenya ofFlorida Institute of Technology, who described him self as anilliterate Gweilo wholacks fluency in Chinese. Dr. Gabrenya raised questions such as why is research dependent on university students, whyis research done on Chinese people in coastal cities (Singapore, Taiwan, Shanghai and Hong Kong) but not in land? “Chinese psychology is too on fucian, too neat. He’s been dead a long time. How about the guy on a motorcycle in Taipei?” Dr. Gabrenya said, urging that research have a
more contemporary outlook.
The academics came from Israel, Sweden, Taiwan, Singapore, United States, British Columbia and, ofcourse, Hong Kong. Manyofthe visual aids they used by way of illustriation contained eye-squinting type and cobweb-like graphs. One speaker, a sociologist from Illionios, even warned her colleagues that she would not give anyone enough time to digest the long, skinny collumns of numbers. Is Chinese intelligence different from Western? For half of the audience who are illiterate in Chinese, Professor Jimmy Chan of HKU examined each of the Chinese characters for “intelligence”. Phrases such as “a mindas fast as an arrow” and connections between stokes for sun and the moon were made. After his 25-minute
speech, Chan and the group lamented that using Western tests are the only measure available to psychologists, who are starving for ndigenousstudies of Chinese by Chinese. How do Chinese children learn? David Kember of Hong Kong Polytechnic University zeroed in on deep learing
versus surface. Deep is when the student is sincerely interested for his own reasons. Surface is memorizing and spitting out facts, It doesn’t nurture any deep understanding. If the languageofinstruction happensto be the children’s second language, students in Hong Kong haveall sorts of challenges with English-speaking teachers from Australia, Britain and America with accents and colloquialisms. Do Westerners have moreself-esteem than Chinese? Dr. Leung Kwok, Chairman of the psychology department of Chinese University, points his finger at belief systems: The coilectivist mind-set often stereotypes Chinese unfairly. The philosophy of “yuen”(a concept used to explain good and bad events which are pre-determined and outofthe individual’s control does notfostera positive self-concept. Neitherdo collectivist beliefs, such as sacrifice for the group, compromise and importance of using connections. “If a Chineselosesoffails, he has a stronger sense of responsibility. He tends to blame it on himself. A non-Chinese from the West may blameit on forces outside himself’, Dr. Leung said. By the end of the three day
session, there were as many questions raised as answered. It was agreed there was room for further research. To the layman, so much of the discussion wasforeign and riddled with jargon and on-going references to studies and researchers. The work of the participants will resource in a
forthcoming handbook of Chinese Psychology, which will be edited by Dr. Bond and published by Oxford University Press.

According to the passage, William Gabrenya refers to himself as an‘illirerate gweilo’. This suggests that
Solution
William Gabrenya refers to himself as an "illiterate gweilo," it suggests that he feels defensive about not speaking and reading Chinese.
This term shows that he admits he doesn’t know the Chinese language well. By calling himself "illiterate," he is acknowledging the difficulties he faces in doing research on Chinese psychology without being fluent in the language.

Passage III:
“Since wars begin in the minds of men,” so runs the historic UNESCO Preamble, “It is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed.” Wars erupt out when the minds of menare inflamed, when the human mindis blinded and wounded, succumbsto frustration and self-negation. Waris the transference ofthis self-negation into the other-negation. The three Indo-Pak wars and the persisting will to terrorise have emanated from this sawage instinct of other-negationthatis the legacy of the partition carnage and its still-bleeding and_unhealed wound,
Truncated from its eastern wing in 1971, Pakistan ever since has suffered from a sense of total existential self-negation. Plus the scars left by the twopreviously lost wars to India and Kargil fill the Army and the Pakistan pysche with a seething urge to revenge: that Indian has to
be negated, destroyed — in a deep psychological sense, another Hiroshima in the subcontinent is imaginable and possible. Terrorism in Kashmir springs from such deep negating existential grounds. Like the former Soviet Union, Pakistan came into beingas a result of a grand delusion and
massive perversion of reality — the so called two-nation theory. Like the former Soviet Union, it stand in danger of crumbling unless it modifies its reality perception and comesto terms with its post-Bangladesh identity within the prevailing subcontinental equation. Failing this, Pakistan is bound to break up, nudging the region to a nuclear nightmare, including, possible South Asian Hiroshimas. With‘hotpursuits’ and ‘surgical operations’ freely making rounds amongthepolicy elite and the public at large, the national atmosphere looks ominously charged. “On the
brink,” headlines The Week adding, “As men and machines are quickly positioned by India and Pakistan, the threat of war looms real.” To which Gen. Musharraf counters, “If any war is thrust on Pakistan, Pakistan’s armed forces and the 140 million people of Pakistan are fully prepared to faceall consequences with all their might.” According to Indian Express, “Pakistan has deployed medium rangeballistic missile batteries (MRBBs) along the Line of Control (LOC) near Jammu and Poonch sectors in a action that will further escalate the tension between the two countries.”
AndIndia’s Defence Minister ups the ante, “We could take a (nuclear) strike, survive and then hit back, Pakistan would be finished.” (Hindustan Times, December 30, 2001). Mr. Fernandes’s formulation is certainly a tactical super shot, even a strategical super hit in as much as this is
the very logic of India’s ‘No-first-stike’ doctrine. The Defence Minister obviously has no idea of the ethical, phenomeno logical implications of abandoning chunks of the Indian population to ransom for potential Hiroshimas and then ‘finishing’ the neighbouring country of 140 in
what could be nothing short of an Armageddon. Forget these horrendous scenarios. But does this not repudiate the grain of truth for which India’s civilisation stood for and vindicated across the untold millennia ofits history? Yet, Mr. Fernandes, the pacifist and Gandhian, is no
warmonger. As Defence Minister he had to react at a level with the Pakistanis, with their proclivity to drop the nuclear speak whenever that suited them, could have.

Passage IV:
Mobility of capital has given an unprecedented leverage to companies not only to seek low paid, informal wage employees across national boundaries, but the threat of capital flight can also serve to drive down wages and place large numbers of workers in insecure, irregular
employment. Informalisation strategies enable employers to draw on the existing pool of labour as and when they require, without having to make a commitment to provide permanent employmentorany of the employe-supporting benefits associated with permanent jobs. As far as the working class is concerned, informalisation is in fact, a double-edged sword. For not only is the employe denied the rights associated with permanent employment, but the nature of casual work essentially destroyes the foundations of working class organisation. As workmen move from one
employer to another, numbers are scattered, everyday interests become divergent, and individualized survival takes precedence over group or collective struggles. Even workers who have been in sectors with a long tradition ofunionization are difficult to organise once they are removed from the arena of permanent employment. About 50,000 textile mill workers in Ahmedabadcity were laid off during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The move to obtain compensation and rehabilitation for these workers floundered on the weakness ofthe struggle, as numbers of workers who were available for pressing their claims and taking to some kind of activism dwindled, the motivation of leaders declined and the struggle slowly frittered away. If this is the situation with workers familiar with the concept of unionisation, the taskes of organising vast masses of
casual workers who have never been organised, is obviously much more difficult. The problem, essentially, is not only that of organising workers for struggle, but given the wansitory nature of casual employment, employers are not bound to provide insurance of any kind, and frequently, there is no fixed employer against whom workers’ claims can be pressed. In this context, the formation of the National Centre for Labour (NCL) can be seen as a landmark in the history of the working class movement in India. The NCL is an apex body of independent trade unions working in the unorganised sector of labour, registered under the Indian Trade Union Act, 1926. Through its constituent members, the NCL represents the interests of workers in construction, agriculture, fisheries, forests, marble and granite manufacturing, self- employed workmen, contrac’
workers, anganwadi and domestic workers,as also in the tiny and small-scale industries. The NCL, launched in 1995, has about 6,25,000 members spread over 10 states in India. The NCLreflects two tendencies.First, the formation of such a federation highlights that despite the problems in
organising workers in the informal sector, there have in fact, been a rage of organisations which have sought to address these issues. On a collective plane, their activities represent a marked departure from the traditional way of conceptualising uilion activities exclusively around orgnised or formal ector workers. Thus, the unionisation of the hitherto unorganized sector has become inserted into the political universe as a possible and legitaimate activity. Second formation of the NCL, to an extent, overturns the pessimistic logic that the interests of the unorganised sector—given their divers and inchoate form — cannot be articulated from a single platform. For the NCL aims precisely, do not only provide an anchoring for these diverse organisations, but more importantly, to articulate the need for institutionalised norms of welfare which can apply to the unorganised sector as a whole. It is in the context of this generalised movement that one needs to view recent efforts to bring in legislative acts which seek to create a new framework of laws and institutions addressing the needs of the unorganised sector. One of the major problems that has dogged this sector has of course been that of implementation. Thus, for example, while there is a stimulated minimum wages for most industries, this is frequently flouted by employers, a central objective of the NCL has been to advocate legislation to create agencies, which would mediate between the employer and the employee, to institutionalise certain guarantees of welfare and security to the employee. Thus, for example, the State Assisted Scheme of Provident Fund for Unorganised Workers, 2000 proposed by the Labour Department of the Government of West Bengal, introduces the mechanism of a Fund which will contributed to by the worker (wage-earner or self-employed person), the employer, and the Government and to which the worker would be entitiled at the age of 55 or above. By registering a worker to this programme and issuing an identity card, the initial hurdle of identifying a large mass of scattered workers is overcome and a step is taken towards institutionalising their legistimate claims against the employers and from the state. The Karnataka Unorganised Workers (Regulation of employment and Conditions of Work) Bill, 2001, offers a more comprehensive framework for addressing the unorganised sector's needs. It envisages the formation of a fund and a Board, in each sector. The Board, consisting of members from the Government, employers and employees, would be responsible for administering the Fund. Employers must compulsorily pay towards the Fund, a certain fixed percentage of the wages or taxes payable by them, or a certain percentage of the cost of their project, (for example, in construction projects). The concept of the Fund is designed to create the financial viability of social security for workers, and to provide a structure for employers' contribution. Thus, workers would be insured for accident and illness, old age and to unemployment. The Board is designed to provide a mechanism to ensure the working of the Fund, and essentially, to institutionalise workers' claims against employers through an empowered agency. In the broader context of economic liberalization, recently proposed labour reforms seek to extend the scope of contract employment and to facilitate worker lay-off. As casualisation of labour now seems an irreversible trend, the Bills outlined above would appear to be the only way to ensure workers' interest. To this extent, organizations such as the NCL, which have systematically struggled to push for such legislation, are serving can invaluable historical purpose. As the Karnataka Unorganised Workers Bill awaits endorsement during the Assembly sessions being held currently for the protagonists of the movement, this would be a watershed, but, nevertheless only a moment on a struggle that needs to be waged at multiple points and to evolve to newer heights.

A man received Rs. 12000 as Puja Bonus. He invested a part of it at 5% per annum and the remaining at 6% per annum, simple interest being allowed in each case. The total interest earned by him in 4 years is Rs. 2580. The sum invested at 5% per annum is
Solution
Let sum invested at 5% be Rs. $$100x$$ and sum invested at 6% be Rs. $$(12000-100x)$$ and time period = 4 years
Simple interest = $$\frac{P\times R\times T}{100}$$
According to ques,
=> $$(\frac{100x\times5\times4}{100})+(\frac{(12000-100x)\times6\times4}{100})=2580$$
=> $$20x+24(120-x)=2580$$
=> $$20x-24x+2880=2580$$
=> $$4x=300$$
=> $$x=\frac{300}{4}=75$$
$$\therefore$$ Sum invested at 5% per annum = $$100\times75=Rs.$$ $$7500$$
=> Ans - (C)
A finance company declares that, at a certain compound interest rate, a sum of money deposited by anyone will become 8 times in three years. If the same amount is deposited at the same compound rate of interest, then in how many years will it become 16 times?
Solution
Under compound interest, money will become 8 times in 3 years. Let it takes $$t$$ years to become 16 times.
Substituting values in the formula = $$(x)^{\frac{1}{a}}=(y)^{\frac{1}{b}}$$
=> $$(8)^{\frac{1}{3}}=(16)^{\frac{1}{t}}$$
=> $$(2)^1=(2)^{\frac{4}{t}}$$
Comparing the exponents, we get : $$t=4$$ years
=> Ans - (B)
In an examination, a pupil’s average marks were 63 per paper. If he had obtained 20 more marks for his Geography paper and 2 more marks for his History paper, his average per paper would have been 65. How many papers were there in the examination?
Solution
Let number of papers be $$x$$ and total marks in all papers = $$63x$$
According to ques,
=> $$\frac{63x+20+2}{x}=65$$
=> $$63x+22=65x$$
=> $$2x=22$$
=> $$x=\frac{22}{2}=11$$
=> Ans - (D)
A boat man rows to a place 45 km distant and back in 20 hours. He finds that he can row 12 km with the stream in the same time as 4 km against the stream. Find the speed of the stream.
Solution
Let speed of man in still water = $$x$$ km/hr and speed of stream = $$y$$ km/hr
According to ques, time taken in 12 km downstream = Time taken 4 km upstream
=> $$\frac{12}{x+y}=\frac{4}{x-y}$$
=> $$3x-3y=x+y$$
=> $$2x=4y$$
=> $$x=2y$$ --------------(i)
Also, $$\frac{45}{x+y}+\frac{45}{x-y}=20$$
=> $$\frac{15}{y}+\frac{45}{y}=20$$
=> $$20y=60$$
=> $$y=\frac{60}{20}=3$$
$$\therefore$$ Speed of stream = 3 km/hr
=> Ans - (A)
Two cyclists start on a circular track from a given point but in opposite directions with speeds of 7 m/s and 8 m/sec respectively. If the circumference of the circle is 300 m, after what time will they meet at the starting point?
Solution
Speed of A = 7 m/s and speed of B = 8 m/s
Time taken by A to complete 1 round = $$\frac{300}{7}$$ sec
Time taken by B to complete 1 round = $$\frac{300}{8}$$ sec
=> Meeting at STARTING POINT = L.C.M. $$(\frac{300}{7},\frac{300}{8})$$
= $$\frac{300}{1}=300$$ seconds
=> Ans - (C)
In an objective examination of 90 questions, 5 marks are allotted for every correct answer and 2 marks are deducted for every wrong answer. After attempting all the 90 questions a student got a total of 387 marks. Find the number of questions that he attempted wrong.
Solution
Let number of questions attempted wrong be $$x$$, and number of questions attempted correct be $$(90-x)$$
According to ques,
=> $$5(90-x)-2x=387$$
=> $$450-5x-2x=387$$
=> $$7x=63$$
=> $$x=\frac{63}{7}=9$$
=> Ans - (C)
Ram went to shop to buy 50 kg of rice. He buys two kinds of rice which cost him Rs. 4.50 per kg and Rs. 5.00 per kg. He spends a total of Rs. 240. What was the quantity of rice bought which cost him Rs. 4.50 per kg ?
Solution
Let quantity of rice bought at Rs 4.50 per kg be $$x$$ kg and at Rs 5 per kg be $$(50-x)$$ kg
According to ques,
=> $$4.5x+5(50-x)=240$$
=> $$4.5x+250-5x=240$$
=> $$0.5x=10$$

Seema invested an amount of RS 16,000 for two years on compound interest and received an amount of Rs 17,640 on maturity. What is the rate of interest?
Solution
Principal sum = Rs. 16000 and time period = 2 years. Let rate of interest = $$r\%$$
Amount under Compound interest = $$P(1+\frac{R}{100})^T$$
=> $$16,000(1+\frac{r}{100})^2=17,640$$
=> $$(1+\frac{r}{100})^2=\frac{17640}{16000}$$
=> $$1+\frac{r}{100}=\sqrt{1.1025}$$
=> $$\frac{r}{100}=1.05-1=0.05$$
=> $$r=0.05\times100=5\%$$

My Scooty gives an average of 40 km/L of petrol. But after recent filling at the new petrol pump, its average dropped to 38 km/L. I investigated and found out that it was due to adulterated petrol. Petrol pump add Kerosene, which is $$\frac{2}{3}$$ cheaper than petrol, to increase their profits. Kerosene generates excessive smoke and knocking and gives an average of 18 km per 900 ml. If I paid Rs. 30 for a liter of petrol, what was the additional amount the pump-owner was making?
Solution
Let $$x$$ ml of kerosene be there in 1 litre mixture, => Quantity of petrol in 1 litre mixture = $$(1000 - x)$$ ml
=> Required average = $$\frac{40}{1000}(1000-x)+\frac{18}{900}x=38$$
=> $$\frac{x}{25}-\frac{x}{50}=2$$
=> $$x=100$$
So, 1 litre mixture has 900 ml petrol and 100 ml kerosene.
Also, cost of 1 litre petrol = Rs. 30 and 1 litre kerosene = $$30-\frac{2}{3}\times30=Rs.$$ $$10$$
=>Actual Cost of 1 litre mixture = $$(\frac{30}{1000}\times900)+(\frac{10}{1000}\times100)$$
= $$27+1=Rs.$$ $$28$$
$$\therefore$$ Additional amount earned by pump-owner = Rs. (30-28) = Rs. 2

A train after travelling 150 km meets with an accident and then proceeds at $$\frac{3}{5}$$ km of its former speed arrives at its destination 8 hours late. Had the accident occurred 360 km further, it would have reached the destination 4 hours late. What is the total distance travelled by the train?
Solution
Let initial speed of train be $$5x$$ km/hr and total distance travelled be $$d$$ km
According to ques, => $$\frac{150}{5x}+\frac{(d-150)}{3x}=\frac{d}{5x}+8$$
=> $$\frac{30}{x}-\frac{50}{x}+\frac{d}{3x}-\frac{d}{5x}=8$$
=> $$\frac{2d}{15}-8x=20$$ --------------(i)
Similarly, $$\frac{510}{5x}+\frac{(d-510)}{3x}=\frac{d}{5x}+4$$
=> $$\frac{102}{x}-\frac{170}{x}+\frac{d}{3x}-\frac{d}{5x}=4$$
=> $$\frac{2d}{15}-4x=68$$ --------------(ii)
Subtracting equation (i) from (ii), we get : $$4x=48$$
=> $$x=12$$
Substituting above value in equation (i), => $$\frac{2d}{15}=20+96$$
=> $$d=58\times15=870$$ km
=> Ans - (B)

If one more student weighing 50 kg is added then the average weight of the class increases by 1.5 kg over the original average. What is the original average weight (in kg) of the class?
Solution
Let number of students in class be $$x$$ and average weight of class be $$y$$ kg
=> Total weight of class = $$xy$$ kg
According to ques, => $$\frac{xy+50}{x+1}=y+1$$
=> $$xy+50=xy+x+y+1$$
=> $$x+y=49$$ ------------(ii)
Similarly, $$\frac{xy+100}{x+2}=y+1.5$$
=> $$xy+100=xy+1.5x+2y+3$$
=> $$1.5x+2y=97$$ ------------(ii)
Solving equations (i) and (ii), we get : $$x=2$$ and $$y=47$$
$$\therefore$$ Original average weight = 47 kg

A dealer buys dry fruit at the rate of Rs 100, Rs 80 and Rs 60 per kg. He bought them in theratio 12 : 15 : 20 by weight. He in total gets 20% profit by selling the first two and at last he finds he has no gain no loss in selling the whole quantity which he had. What was the percentage loss he suffered for the third quantity?
Solution
Let the dealer bought 12, 15 and 20 kg of each type respectively.
Total cost price = $$(12\times100)+(15\times80)+(20\times60)=1200+1200+1200=Rs.$$ $$3600$$
Also, total selling price (since there is no profit no gain) = Rs. 3600
Now, Selling price of first two types after 20% profit = $$\frac{120}{100}\times2400=Rs.$$ $$2880$$
=> Selling price of 3rd type = $$3600-2880=Rs.$$ $$720$$
$$\therefore$$ Loss % = $$\frac{(1200-720)}{1200}\times100=40\%$$

$$\therefore$$ Value (in millions) of the exports of ores and minerals in 2002-2003 = $$\frac{3.6}{100}\times5825\approx209.7$$ million
=> Ans - (D)
If India’s exports increased by 20% from 1998-1999 to 2002-03, then find the approximate percentage increase in the exports of the engineering goods from 1998-1999 to 2002-2003.
Solution
Let India's exports in 1998-99 be Rs. 100 and thus in 2002-03 = Rs. 120
Thus, Engineering goods in 1998-99 = $$\frac{12.5}{100}\times\frac{73.6}{100}\times100=\frac{73.6}{8}=9.2$$
Engineering goods in 2002-03 = $$\frac{16.6}{100}\times\frac{77.4}{100}\times120=\frac{73.6}{8}=15.4$$
$$\therefore$$ Percentage increase = $$\frac{(15.4-9.2)}{9.2}\times100\approx68\%$$

An office has as many four-legged chairs and as many four-legged tables as workers, and as many three-legged stools as four-legged almirahs. If the number of stools be one more than the number of workers and the total number of legs be 585, the number of workers in the office are?
Solution
Number of workers = Number of 4 legged chairs = Number of 4 legged tables = $$x$$
Number of 3 legged stools = Number of 4 legged almirahs = $$y$$
According to ques, => $$y=x+1$$ ---------------(i)
Total legs = $$(2x+4x+4x)+(3y+4y)=585$$
=> $$10x+7y=585$$
Substituting value from equation (i), => $$10x+7(x+1)=585$$
=> $$17x=585-7=578$$
=> $$x=\frac{578}{17}=34$$

A, B, C and D play a game of cards. A says to B, ‘If I give you 8 cards, you will have as many as C has and I shall have 3 less than what C has. Also if I take 6 cards from C, I shall have twice as many as D has’. If B and D together have 50 cards, how many cards has A got?
Solution
Let number of cards with A be $$x$$, with B = $$y$$, with C = $$z$$ and with D = $$(50-y)$$
According to ques,
=> $$y+8=z$$ and $$x-8=z-3$$
Comparing above equations, => $$y+8=x-5$$
=> $$x-y=13$$ -------------(i)
Also, $$x+6=2(50-y)$$
=> $$x+6=100-2y$$
=> $$x+2y=94$$ -------------(ii)
Subtracting equation (i) from (ii), => $$3y=81$$
=> $$y=\frac{81}{3}=27$$
Substituting it in equation (i), we get : $$x=13+27=40$$
=> Ans - (D)
After a get-together every person present shakes the hand of every other person. If there were 105 hands shakes in all, how many persons were present in the party?

What is the present age of the mother?
A. Father's age is eight years more than the mother’s age. Father got married at the age of 28 years.
B. Present ageof the father is 30 years. Fouryears back the ratio of mother’s age to father’s age was 12 : 13.
Solution
We need to find the present age of the mother.
Statement A tells us that the father is 8 years older than the mother and that he got married at the age of 28. However, this does not give us any information about his age, so we cannot determine the mother's age alone. Hence, Statement A is insufficient.
From Statement B, we are given that the father is currently 30 years old. Four years ago, the ratio of the mother's age to the father's age was 12:13. This means that four years ago, if the father’s age was 26 (30 - 4), we can set up the equation 12x/13x = 24/26, where 13x = 26. Solving for x, we get x = 2. This means the mother’s age four years ago was 12 × 2 = 24. Adding four years, the mother’s present age is 28 years. Since we could find the mother’s exact age using only Statement B, Statement B alone is sufficient.
Therefore, the correct answer is if the data in statement B alone are sufficient to answer the question while the data in statement A alone are not sufficient to answer the question. (Option A)
