Now in each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true find which of the two conclusions I, II given below them is/are definitely true.
Give answer (a)if only conclusion I is true
Give answer (b)if only conclusion II is true
Give answer (c)if either conclusion I or II is true
Give answer (d)if neither conclusion I nor II is true
Give answer (e)if both conclusions I and II are true.
Solution
The statements are :
D < T
E $$\leq$$ V
F $$\geq$$ T
E > D
Combining the above inequalities, we get : F $$\geq$$ T > D & V $$\geq$$ E > D
Conclusion I : D $$\leq$$ V [not true]
Conclusion II : D < F [true]
Hence, only conclusion II is true.
Statements: B+D, E$T, T*P, P@B
Conclusions:I.P$D II.P@D
Solution
The statements are :
B < D , E $$\leq$$ T , T $$\geq$$ P , P > B
Combining above inequalities, we get :
P, D > B & T $$\geq$$ P, E
The conclusions :
P $$\leq$$ D [cannot be determined]
P > D [cannot be determined]
Relation between P & D cannot be established.
Thus, both conclusions can be either true.
Statements:T*U, U$W, V@L, W+V
Conclusions:I.V@T II.L#W
Solution
The statements are :
T $$\geq$$ U , U $$\leq$$ W , V > L , W < L
Combining above inequalities, we get :
W, T $$\geq$$ U and V, W > L
The conclusions :
V > T [cannot be determined]
L = W [not true]
Thus, neither conclusion I nor II is true.
Statements:P$Q, N#M, M@R, R*P
Conclusions:I.P+N II.Q$M
Solution
The statements are :
P $$\leq$$ Q , N = M , M > R , R $$\geq$$ P
Combining above inequalities, we get :
N = M > R $$\geq$$ P and Q $$\geq$$ P
The conclusions :
P < N [true]
Q $$\leq$$ M [cannot be determined]
Thus, only conclusion I is true.
Statements:E*F, G$H, H#E, G@K
Conclusions:I.H@K II.H*F
Solution
The statements are :
E $$\geq$$ F , G $$\leq$$ H , H = E , G > K
Combining above inequalities, we get :
H = E $$\geq$$ G > K and H = E $$\geq$$ F
The conclusions :
H > K [true]
H $$\geq$$ F [true]
Both conclusions are true.

11th from the left and 7th from the right are highlighted below.
B D 5 F E 3 8 $ M 2 I K * P T @ U 9 A 7 1 £ H J 4 Q 6
I K * P T @ U 9 A 7 1
So required answer is option 2
Which of the following is the sixth to the right of the twentieth from the right end ?
Solution
B D 5 F E 3 8 $ M 2 I K * P T @ U 9 A 7 1 £ H J 4 Q 6
Twentieth from the right end is $. Now 6th to the right of $ is P, So required answer is option 3
How many such digits are there in the above sequence which are immediately preceded as well as followed by digits ?
Solution
B D 5 F E 3 8 $ M 2 I K * P T @ U 9 A 7 1 £ H J 4 Q 6
As can be seen from the sequence, there's no digit which is both preceded as well as followed by digits, so the required answer is option 1.
If the first fifteen elements are written in the reverse order then which of the following will be eight to the left of the thirteenth element from right end ?
Solution
B D 5 F E 3 8 $ M 2 I K * P T @ U 9 A 7 1 £ H J 4 Q 6
When first 15 elements are written in reverse order, the required sequence is
T P * K I 2 M $ 8 3 E F 5 D B @ U 9 A 7 1 £ H J 4 Q 6
13th element from the right end is B. 8th element to the left of D is M
So the required answer is M
If all the consonants starting from B are given sequentially the value of even numbers such as B=2, C=4, and all the vowels are given the value of 5 each then what will be the value of the letters of the word CUSTOM ?
Solution
As per the rules value of C = 4
U= 5
S= 2*(19-4) = 30 {S position is 19th, but there will be 4 vowels in between so 19 - 4}
T= 32
O= 5
M= 2*(13-3) = 20
So the value of CUSTOM is, 4+30+32+20+10 = 96
For the following questions answer them individually
How many such 5s are there in the following sequence that the sum of the two immediately following digits is greater than the sum of the two immediately preceding digits ?

Solution
Given sequence 3 7 6 5 8 3 2 4 5 5 4 8 7 9 1 5 3 4 8 7 5 9 8 7 6 4
5's for which the sum of following two digits is greater than the sum of preceding two digits are highlighted below
3 7 6 5 8 3 2 4 5 5 4 8 7 9 1 5 3 4 8 7 5 9 8 7 6 4, Thus there are 3 such 5's so option 3
If A+B means ‘A is the sister of B’, $$A\times$$B means ‘A is the wife of B’, A$$\div$$B means ‘A is the father of B’ and A-B means ‘A is the brother of B’, then which of the following expresses the relationship that ‘T is the daughter of P’ ?
Solution
$$P\times$$Q$$\div$$ R-T+S means P is the wife of Q and Q is father of R and R is the brother of T and T is the sister of S.
So, P is the mom and Q is the dad of R, T and S.
Hence (b) is the correct answer.

For the following questions answer them individually
How many pairs of letters are there in the word NURSING which have as many letters between them as in the alphabet ?
Solution
So, the question essentially asks to find out pairs of letters in the given word "NURSING" which have same number of letter between them as there are in english alphabet. We can start with the first letter initially and then try to check for subsequent letters. Lets take N, now NU have 6 letter between them in english alphabets, here they don't have any letter so this cannot be a possible pair. Lets move on to NR again NR have just 1 letter between them which is not the case in actual english alphabets. Proceeding in a similar manner we can find that words fulfilling the given requirement are
US, RS, IG Thus there are just 3 pairs of words meeting such requirement.
Read the following information carefully and answer the question given below
A famous museum issues entry passes to all its visitors for security reasons Visitors are allowed in batches after every one hour In a day there are six batches A code is printed on entry pass which keeps on changing for every batch Following is an illustration of pass-codes issued for each batch
Batch I:
clothes neat and clean liked are all by
Batch II:
by cloths neat all are and clean liked
Batch III:
liked by clothes clean and neat all are and so on……
If pass-code for the third batch is night succeed day and hard work to for what will be the pass-code for the sixth batch ?
Solution
The pattern here followed is that the last word of the previous code becomes the first word for the next batch and the first and the second words shifted to the second and the third positions respectively. Again the seventh and the sixth words occupy the fourth and fifth positions respectively and then the third, the fourth and the fifth words of the previous code are written in the same order in the pass-code for the next batch.
To summarize, if we use numbers in place of the words, the arrangement will be :
Pass code for Batch I : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Pass code for Batch II : 8 1 2 7 6 3 4 5
Pass code for Batch III : 5 8 1 4 3 2 7 6
Pass code for Batch IV : 6 5 8 7 2 1 4 3
Pass code for Batch V : 3 6 5 4 1 8 7 2
Pass code for Batch VI : 2 3 6 7 8 5 4 1
=>Thus, we can write any required step from the given pass codes directly.
Pass code for Batch III : night succeed day and hard work to for = 5 8 1 4 3 2 7 6
Pass code for Batch VI : 2 3 6 7 8 5 4 1
=> work hard for to succeed night and day

In each question below are given three statements followed by four conclusions I II III and IV You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusion logically follow from given statements disregarding commonly Known facts
Statements
Some books are pens.
All pens are chairs.
Some chairs are tables.
Conclusions
I.Some books are chairs.
II.Some chairs are books.
III.All tables are chairs.
Iv.Some tables are chairs.
Solution
We can draw various scenarios using Venn diagrams, one of which is shown. Conclusions I, II and IV hold in every case. Conclusion III is not implied in this case hence it is not true in all cases.
Statements
All cars are jeeps.
All jeeps are buses.
All buses are trucks.
Conclusions
I.All trucks are buses.
II.All buses are jeeps.
III.All jeeps are cars.
IV.All cars are trucks.
Solution
"All" elements of a subset belong to the super set but the reverse isn't true. Hence only conclusion IV follows.
Statements
Some trees are flowers.
Some flowers are pencils.
Some pencils are tables.
Conclusions
I.Some tables are flowers.
II.Some pencils are trees.
III.Some tables are trees.
IV.Some trees are pencils.
Solution
We use elimination to find an exception to the generality of the conclusions. Thus we prove they are not implied. The diagram below satisfies all the statements but contradicts all the conclusions. Since we found an exception, the conclusions are not true in "every" case. Thus they are not implied.
Statements
All rods are bricks.
Some bricks are ropes.
All ropes are doors.
Conclusion
I.Some rods are doors.
II.Some doors are bricks.
III.Some rods are not doors.
IV.All doors are ropes.
Solution
Some bricks are ropes. Doors is a super set of ropes. Hence, atleast some doors are bricks as shown in the diagram.
Irrespective of the diagram, conclusions I and III are universally complimentary ie. one of the two always has to be implied but both can't be true at the same time. Hence we use "either" and "or".
Statements
Some books are pens.
Some pens are watches.
All watches are radios.
Conclusions
I.Some radios are watches.
II.Some radios are pen.
III.Some watches are books.
IV.Some books are watches.
Solution
We use elimination to find an exception to the generality of the conclusions. Thus we prove they are not implied. The diagram below satisfies all the statements but contradicts the conclusions III and IV. Since we found an exception, the conclusions are not true in "every" case. Thus they are not implied.
We can draw many scenarios using Venn diagrams. Conclusions I and II hold in every case. So, they are implied.
Statements
All towns are villages.
No village is forest.
Some forests are rivers.
Conclusions
I.Some forests are villages.
II.Some forests are not villages.
III.Some rivers are not villages.
IV.All villages are towns.
Solution
Given that no village is a forest. So, the shaded area can never be a village. Hence, some rivers can never be villages. So, conclusion 3 is implied.
from the diagram, conclusions I will not follow and conclusion II will be true.
So, both conclusions II and III will follow. Hence, ''none of these option'' will be correct.

In which direction is Ravi facing ?
I.Ashok is to the right of Ravi
II.Samir is sitting opposite of Ashok facing north
Solution
Clearly, each statement alone is insufficient.
I & II : Samir facing north is opposite of Ashok. => Ashok is facing south.
Now, Ashok is right of Ravi.
From this, we cannot conclude the direction in which Ravi is facing.
Thus, I & II together are not sufficient.
How M is related to K ?
I.The sister of K is the mother of N who is daughter of M
II.P is the sister of M
Solution
Clearly, each statement alone is insufficient, as gender of M is unknown, and there is no info about K respectively in each statement.
I & II : After combining the two statements, we cannot find the gender of M. Thus, we do not know how M is related to K.
Thus, both statements together are insufficient.
Is D brother of T ?
I.T is the sister of M and K
II.K is brother of D.
Solution
Each statement alone is insufficient as there is no information of D and T respectively in statements I and II.
I & II : After combining the above statements, we know that all T,M,K & D are siblings, with T(female) and K(male).
We still do not know the gender of D. Thus, it is unclear whether D is brother or sister of t.
I & II together are not sufficient.
How many sons does P have ?
I.S and T are brothers of M
II.The mother of T is P who has only one daughter
Solution
I : There is no information of P. Thus, it is insufficient.
II : P is the mother of T. (Gender of T is unknown).
case 1 : if T is female.
Since, P has only one daughter, that will be T in this case. Thus, P has 0 sons.
case 2 : if T is male.
We, do not know about how many children P has, so it can be 1,2,3...
=> Case 1 and 2 mismatch
Thus, II alone is not sufficient.
I & II : Combining the two statements, we get P is the mother of 3 with two sons(T & S) and a daughter(M).
Thus, I & II together are required to answer.
Who is the tallest among P, Q, R, S and T ?
I.R is taller than Q and T
II.T is taller than S and P and S is taller than Q and R
Solution
I : R > Q, T.
We do not have any information about P & S. Therefore, we cannot find who's the tallest.
Thus, I alone is insufficient.
II : T > S, P & S > Q, R
Since, we can conclude that T > S > Q, R & T > P.
=> T is the tallest.
Thus, II alone is sufficient.

With the purpose of upliftment of Gonda district in Uttar Pradesh a new formula was evolved for practical success in several fields such as irrigation animal husbandry dairy farming moral uplift and creation of financial resources Small farms were clustered for irrigation by one diesel pump which could irrigate about 20 acres of land Youth were prompted to take loans from the banks for purchase of engine pumps to be supplied to the farmers on rent This formula worked so well that the villages in Gonda district were saturated with irrigation facilities. Cattle rearing was linked with multiple cropping
Most of the targets fixed for different areas were achieved which was an unusual phenomenon This could be possible only because of right motivation participation and initiative of the people Imagination and creativity combined together helped in finding out workable solutions to the problems of the community.
There was no problem and complaint of the people residing in entire Gonda district before the beginning of the project
Purchasing of engine pumps by individual farmers may be beyond their affordable limits
Earlier farming was not basically one of the professions of people in Gonda district
By using the same formula upliftment of any other district possible.
There are very few people who can motivate others in the right direction.
In each of these questions there are two sets of figures.The figures on the top are problem figures (four figures and one question marked space) and those on the bottom are Answer Figures indicated by numbers 1,2,3,4 and 5. A series is established if one of the five Answer Figures is placed at the " question-marked space". Figures from a series it they change from left to right according to same rule . The number of the Answer Figures which should not be placed in question-marked space in the answer. All the five figures i.e, four problem figures and one answer figure placed in the question-marked space should be considered as forming the series.
In each of the following questions a series begins with unnumbered on the extreme left. One of the five numbered figures in the series does not belong to the series. The two unnumbered figures one each on extreme left and right fit in to the series. You have to take as many aspects into accounts as possible of the figures in the series and find out the one and only one of the five unnumbered figures which does not fit into the series.The number of that figures is the answer.
In each of the questions given below which one of the five answer figures on the right should come after the problem figures on the left, if the sequence were continued?
For the following questions answer them individually
The difference between a two digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the positions of its digits is 36. What is the difference between the two digits of that number?
Solution
Let the number 'ab'
After interchanging, we get 'ba'
(10a + b) - (10b + a) = 36
9a - 9b = 36
a - b = 4
$$\therefore$$ The difference between the digits of the number is 4.
By how much is two-fifth of 200 greater than three-fifth of 125 ?
Solution
The value of two-fifth of 200 is 2/5*200 = 80
The value of three-fifth of 125 is 3/5*125 = 75
Hence, their difference is 80-75 = 5
The area of a rectangular field is 460 square metres.If the length is 15 per cent more than the breadth, what is breadth of the rectangular field ?
Solution
let the length and breadth if rectangle be L and B respectively.
It is given that L = 1.15B
Area is given as 460 sqmtr
L x B = 460
So B = 20 m
Deepa bought a calculator with 30% discount on the listed price. Had she not got the discount she would have paid Rs 82.50. extra At what price did she buy the calculator ?
Solution
Let the listed price of the calculator be L.
Hence, the price at which Deepa bought the calculator is 0.7L.
The difference between the two is 0.3L = 82.50
Hence, L = 82.50/0.3 = 275
Hence, the price at which Deepa bought the calculator is 275 - 82.50 = 192.50
In how many different ways can be letters of word SOFTWARE be arranged in such a way that the vowels always come together ?
Solution
The word software can be split as
Vowels O A E
Consonants S F T W R
For Vowels to be together, lets consider O A E as one entity, so we have total 6 entities, 5 consonants and 1 block of vowels
These can be arranged in 6! ways. But there will also be internal arrangement among A E O. This will happen in 3! ways.
So total number of required ways = 6!*3! = 720*6 = 4320, Thus option 5
A motor starts with the speed of 70 kmph with its speed increasing every two hours by 10 kmph. In how many hours will it cover 345 km?
Solution
Distance = Speed $$\times$$ Time
Initial speed = 70 kmph
In first 2 hours, motor covers a distance = $$70 \times 2 = 140~km$$
Speed after 2 hours = 70 + 10 = 80 kmph
In the next 2 hours, it covers a distance = $$80 \times 2 = 160~km$$
Distance covered = 300 km
Now, the speed is 90 kmph
Remaining 45 km is covered in $$\frac{45}{90}$$ = 0.5 hr
Total time taken to cover 345 km = 2 + 2 + 0.5 = 4.5 hr
What will be the cost of gardening 1 metre broad boundary around a rectangular plot having perimeter of 340 meters at the rate of Rs 10 per square metre?
Solution
here the cost of boundary making = 10 per sqmt
Total area to be boundaried = 2 L + 2B + (1×4)...(1)
It is given that perimeter of rectangle is 340 m
So 2(L + B ) = 340....(2)
From equation 1 and 2
Total area to be boundaried = 344 sq mtr
Cost of boundaring 344 sq mtr area = 344 × 10 = Rs 3440
In how many different ways a group of 4 men and 4 women be formed out of 7 men and 8 women ?
Solution
The number of ways of selecting 4 men from 7 men is $$^7C_4 = 35$$
The number of ways of selecting 4 women from 8 women is $$^8C_4 = 70$$
Hence, the total number of ways is $$70 \times 35 = 2450$$
A certain amount earns simple interest of Rs 1,750/- after 7 years. Had the interest been 2% more how much more interest would it have earned ?
Solution
As we don't know 2 variables, the principal and rate of interest, we cannot determine the change in interest earned.
Seats for Maths, Physics and Biology are in the ratio of 5:7:8 respectively. There is a proposal to increase these seats by 40% 50% and 75% respectively. What will be the respective ratio of increased seats ?
Solution
Let the original number of seats in Maths, Physics and Biology be 5X, 7X and 8X.
So, the respective increases in seats equals 5X*0.4, 7X*0.5 and 8X*0.75
That is 2X, 3.5X and 6X
Hence, the final number of seats equals 5X+2X,7X+3.5X and 8X+6X = 7X,10.5X,14X
So, the final ratio is 7:10.5:14 = 2:3:4
Study the information given each of these question to answer the questions

Percentage of Male, Female, Literate and illiterate
N= 2,50,000
What is the difference between number of Literate Male and Literate Female ?
Solution
number of male literate = (35/100) * 2,50,000 = 87,500
number of female literate = (8/100) * 2,50,000 = 20,000
difference = 87,500-20,000 = 67,500
(Method II)
% of male literate = 35%
% of female literate = 8%
difference = 35- 8 =27%
ans = (27/100) * 2,50,000 = 67,500
$$x=\frac{a}{a-1};y=\frac{1}{a-1}$$
Solution
Case (i) When a > 1
Let a = 2
x = 2, y = 1
$$\therefore$$ x > y
Case (ii) When a < 1
Let a = 0
x = 0, y = -1
$$\therefore$$ x > y

Study the following graph to answer the given questions.
Production of two Companies A and B over the years(Production in Lakh units)
For Company A what is the per cent decrease in production from 2000 to 2001 ?
Solution
The production changed from 4 to 3. So, from 4, it changed by 1. So, this is a reduction of 25%
In 2007 the production of Company B is approximately what per cent of that of in 2006 ?
Solution
Production in 2007 = 11 lakh units
Production in 2006 = 7 lakh units
So, the required percentage = $$ \frac{11}{7}*100$$ = 157%
For Company A in which year is the percentage increase/decrease in the production from the previous year the highest ?
Solution
From the graph, we can see that the slope of the graph is the steepest in 2002.
We can calculate and confirm that as well.
The required percentage = $$ \frac{Production.in.2002-Production.in.2001}{Production.in.2001}*100 $$
= 100* (8-3)/3 = 166.67%
What is the difference in the total production of the two Companies for the given years ?
Solution
The required number is the sum of the differences in every year of the 2 companies.
So, it is 3 + 2 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 27 lakhs
Which of the following is the closest average production in lakh units of Company B for the given years ?
Solution
The total production of B in the given years = 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 = 31
The average = 31/ 8 = 3.88
Study the following information to answer the given question
Percentage of students in various courses (A,B,C,D,E,F) and Percentage of girls out of these.
Total students:1200
(800 girls+400 boys)
Percentage in various courses
Total Girls: 800
Percentage of Girls in courses
For course D what is the respective ratio of boys and girls ?
Solution
Total number of students in course D = 35% of 1200 = 35 * 12 = 420
Number of girls in course D = 30% of 800 = 30 * 8 = 240
So, number of boys in course D = 180
So, required ratio = 3 : 4
For which pair of courses is the number of boys the same ?
Solution
Consider the courses C and F:
Number of students in C = 5% of 1200 = 60
Number of girls in C = 2% of 800 = 16
Number of boys in C = 44
Number of students in F = 13% of 1200 = 156
Number of girls in F = 14% of 800 = 14 * 8 = 112
Number of boys in F = 156 - 112 = 44
So, the number of boys in C and F is the same.
For course E the number of girls is how much per cent more than the boys for course E ?
Solution
Course E:
Number of students = 12% of 1200 = 144
Number of girls = 14% of 800 = 112
Number of boys = 32
112 / 32 = 3.5
So, the number of girls is 3.5 - 1 = 2.5 times more than the number of boys = 250% more than the number of boys.
For which course is the number of boys the minimum ?
Solution
We have total students as1200
And out of them 20% opted for A which is equal to
20*1200/100 = 240
and Among the girls ,30% opted for course A so, 30% of 800=30*800/100 =240 girls have opted for A .
which leaves 0 boys and hence, D is the answer.
How many girls are there in course C ?
Solution
Total no of girls in all the courses = 800
% of girls in course C = 2%
No. of girls in course C = $$\frac{2}{100}$$ * 800 = 16
In each of these questions, a number series is given. Only one number is wrong in each series. You have to find out the wrong number
10, 15, 24, 35, 54, 75, 100
Solution
Let us find the difference between consecutive terms of the series.
The numbers in the series are 10, 15, 24, 35, 54, 75, 100
And their differences are 5, 9, 11, 19, 21, 25. There is no obvious pattern in this.
But if we replace 35 with 37, we see the following numbers 10, 15, 24, 35, 54, 75, 100
And the differences are 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25 which is a symmetric pattern.
Hence, the term which is wrong in the series is 35
1 3 4 7 11 18 27 47
Solution
The given series is a Fibonacci series with each term equal to the sum of the previous two terms.
For example, 1 + 3 = 4
3 + 4 = 7
4 + 7 = 11
7 + 11 = 18
11 + 18 = 29
18 + 29 = 47
Hence, the incorrect term in the series is 27 (it should have been 29)
3, 2, 3, 6, 12, 37.5, 115.5
Solution
The numbers are based on the following pattern.
3*0.5 + 0.5 = 2
2*1 + 1 = 3
3*1.5 + 1.5 = 6
6*2 + 2 = 14
14*2.5 + 2.5 = 37.5
37.5*3 + 3 = 115.5
In the series given, we notice that 14 is replaced by 12 and hence the wrong term in the series is 12
2, 8, 32, 148, 765, 4626, 32431
Solution
$$32431 = 7 \times 4626 + 7^2$$
$$4626 = 6 \times 765 + 6^2$$
$$765 = 5 \times 148 + 5^2$$
Following the same pattern,
$$148 = 4 \times 33 + 4^2$$
$$33 = 3 \times 8 + 3^2$$
$$8 = 2 \times 2 + 2^2$$
32 is the wrong number here.
2 3 11 38 102 229 443
Solution
$$3-2 = 1 = 1^3$$
$$11-3 = 8 = 2^3$$
$$38 -11 = 27 = 3^3$$
$$102-38 = 64 = 4^3$$
$$229-102 = 127 \neq 5^3$$
But $$227-102 = 125 = 5^3$$
$$443-227 = 216 = 6^3$$
229 is the wrong number
Each of the question below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it You have to decided whether the data provided in the statement are sufficient to answer the question Read both the statements and
Give answer a:if the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question
Give answer b:if the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question
Give answer c:if the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question

By selling a product for Rs 100/- how much profit was earned ?
(I)20% profit would have been earned if it had been sold for Rs 90/-
(II)The profit was one-third of the purchase price.
Solution
S.P. = 100, we need to find the profit.
I : if S.P = 90, => profit % = 20%
=> $$\frac{90 - C.P.}{C.P.} * 100 = 20
=> 6 * C.P. = 450 => C.P. = 75
Therefore, Profit = 100 - 75 = Rs. 25
Thus, I alone is sufficient.
II : Let C.P. = 3x
=> Profit = 3x / 3 = x
=> 100 - 3x = x [Since, S.P. - C.P. = Profit]
=> x = 25 = Profit
Thus, II alone is sufficient.
A train crosses another train running in the opposite direction in X seconds what is the speed of the train ?
(I)Both the trains are running at the same speed
(II)The first train is Y cm.long.
Solution
Since, we don't know the length of the second train from both statements. Therefore, even both statements combined will not give the required answer.
The difference between the two digits of a number is 6.What is the number ?
(I)The digit at the unit place is bigger than the other digit
(II)The sum of two digits is 12.
Solution
Let digit at unit's place = y
Digit at ten's place = x
=> Number = 10x + y
Given : | x-y | = 6
I : y > x => y - x = 6
No. can be 17,28,39
Thus, I alone is not sufficient.
II : x + y = 12
case 1 : if x - y = 6
Solving the two equations, we get x = 9 & y = 3 => No. = 93
case 2 : if y - x = 6
We get, x = 3 & y = 9 => No. = 39
Thus, II alone is not sufficient.
I & II : y - x = 6 & x + y = 12
Solving, we get x = 3 & y = 9
=> number = 39
Thus, both I & II together are sufficient.
X,Y and Z are integers Is X an odd number ?
(I)An odd number is obtained when X is divided when X is divided by 5.
(II)(X+Y) is an odd number
Solution
I : When X is divided by 5, the quotient obtained is odd. This can only be possible when X is odd, because if X is even, e.g.- 10,20..., the quotient obtained will be 2,4..,i.e. even.
=> X is odd.
Thus, I alone is sufficient.
II : X + Y = odd. Sum of two numbers is odd iff one is even and other is odd.
case 1 : Let X = odd & Y = even
=> X + Y = odd.
E.g- 5 + 6 = 11
case 2 : Let X = even & Y = odd
=> X + Y = odd.
E.g- 6 + 5 = 11
Hence, we cannot determine whether X is odd or not.
Thus, II alone is not sufficient.
What is the capacity of a cylindrical tank ?
(I)Radius of the base is half of its height which is 28 meters
(II)Area of the base is 616 sq.meters and its height is 28 meters
Solution
I : height = 28 & radius = 28/2 = 14
Since, both radius and height are known, we can find the volume of cylindrical tank = $$\pi$$ * $$r^{2}$$ * h$$
= $$\frac{22}{7} * 14*14*28 = 17248$$ cu m.
Thus, I alone is sufficient.
II : height = 28
area of base = $$\pi$$ * $$r^{2} = 616$$
Volume = area of base * height $$= 616*28 = 17248 m^{3}$$
Thus, II alone is also sufficient.
Study the following table to answer the questions:
What are the total marks obtained by Meera in all the subjects ?
Solution
Total marks obtained by Meera in all the subjects put together = 100 + 80 + 50 + 90 + 90 + 60 = 470
What are the average marks obtained by these seven students in History ?
Solution
Average by the students in History = average of the percentages * maximum score possible in History = (80 + 70 + 70 + 60 + 90 + 60 + 80)/7 = 72.86%
So, the required average = 72.86% * 40 = 29.14
How many students have got 60% or more marks in all the subjects ?
Solution
We can observe that Kunal and Soni scored more than or equal to 60% in every subject.
What is the overall percentage of Kunal ?
Solution
The overall percentage of Kunal = $$\frac{total.marks.obtained}{total.marks.possible}*100$$ = $$ \frac{60 * .9 + 40 * .7 + 130 * .6 + 150 * .9 + 120 * .7 + 80 * .7}{60 + 40 + 130 + 150 + 120 + 80}*100$$ = 75%
In which subjects is the overall percentage the best ?
Solution
We calculate the average of the percentages to obtain the overall percentage. Maths has the highest overall percentage.
It's overall percentage is (90 + 100 + 90 + 80 + 80 + 70 + 65)/7 = 575/7 = 82.14
Find out the approximate value which should replace the question mark in the following questions (you are not expected to find out the exact value)
$$95^{3.7}\div95^{0.9989}=95^{?}$$
Solution
We know that $$x^a \div x^b = x^{a-b}$$
Using that formula in the expression given, $$95^{3.7} \div 95^{0.9989}= 95^{3.7-0.9989}$$
This equals $$95^{2.7011} \approx 95 ^{2.7}$$
$$\sqrt{1000}+\frac{3.001}{4.987} of 1891.992=?$$
Solution
In order to find the approximate value of $$\sqrt{1000}+\frac{3.001}{4.987} of 1891.992$$, let us find the approximate value of $$\frac{3.001}{4.987} of 1891.992$$ first.
We can approximate $$4.987 \approx 5$$ and $$3.001 \approx 3$$ and $$1891.992 \approx 1900$$
So, the approximation looks like $$\frac{3}{5} \times 1900 = 3 \times 380 = 1140$$
The approximate value of $$\sqrt{1000} = 32$$
Hence, the final answer will be close to $$1140+32 = 1172 \approx 1170$$
$$0.0004\div0.0001\times36.000009=?$$
Solution
0.0004 / 0.0001 = 4
4 * 36 = 144
The option that is closest to this is option c).
137% of 12345= ?
Solution

The answer that is closest to this is option a).
$$3739+164\times27= ?$$
Solution
164 * 27 = 4428
4428 + 3739 = 8167
The answer that is closest to this is option c).
Read the following passage to answer the given question Some words have been printed in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions.
We tend to be harsh on our bureaucracy,but nowhere do citizens enjoy dealing with their government. They do it because they have to. But that doesn’t mean that the experience has to be dismal. Now there is a new wind blowing through government departments around the world, which could takes some of the pain away. In the next five years it may well transform not only the way public services are delivered but also the fundamental relationship between government and citizens. Not surprisingly, it is the Internet that is behind it. After e-commerce and e-business the next revolution may be e-governance.
Examples abound. The municipality of Phoenix, Arizona, allows its citizens to renew their car registrations, pay traffic fines, replace lost identity cards etc. online without having to stand in endless queues in a grubby municipal office. The municipality is happy because it saves $5 a transaction it costs only $1.60 to do it across the counter. In Chile people routinely submit their income tax returns over the Internet Which has increased transparency, drastically reduced the time taken and the number of errors and litigation with the tax department. Both taxpayers and the revenue department are happier.
The furthest ahead not surprisingly is the small, rich and entrepreneurial civil service of singapore which allows citizens to do more functions online than any other As in many private companies the purchasing and buying of Singapore’s government departments is now on the Web and cost benefits come through more competitive bidding easy access to global suppliers and time saved by online processing of orders. They can post their catalogues on their sites, bid for contracts submit in voices and check their payments status over the Net.
The most useful idea for Indians municipalities is Gov Works a private sector site that collects local taxes fines and utility bills for 3,600 municipalities across the United States. It is citizen's site which provides information on government jobs, tenders, etc .The most ambitious is the British government, which has targeted to convert 100 per cent of its transactions with its citizens to the Internet by 2005.
Cynics in India will say, 'Oh, e-government will never work in India. We are so poor and we dont have computers but they are wrong. There are many experiments afoot in India as well Citizens in Andhra Pradesh can download government forms and applications on the net without having bribe clerks.In many district land records are online and this had created transparency Similary, in Dhar district to Madhya Pradesh villagers have begun to file applications for land transfers and follow their progress on the net. In seventy village in the Kolhapur and Sangli districts in Maharashtra Internet booths have come up where farmers daily check the markets rates of agricultural commodities in Marathi along with data on agriculture schemes information on crop technology. When to spray and plant the crops and buds and railway timetables. They also find vocational guidance on jobs, applications for ration cards kerosene/gas burners and land records extracts with details of landownership.
Sam pitroda’s World Tel, Reliance Industries and the Tamil Nadu government are jointly laying 3,000 km of optic fibre cables to create a, Tamil Network which will offers ration cards schools college and hospital admission forms land records and pension records. If successful World Tel will expand the network to Gujarat, Karnataka and West Bengal. In kerala all the villages are getting linked online to the district headquarters allowing citizens to compare the development properties of their village with other villagers in the state.
Many are still skeptical of the real impact because so few Indians have computers. The answer lies in interactive cable T.V and in Internet kiosks, Although India has only five million computers and thirty-eight million telephones it has thirty four million homes with cable TV and these are growing eight percent a year By 2005 most cable homes will have access to the Internet from many of the 700,000 local STD/PCO booths. Internet usage may be low today, but it is bound to grow rapidly in the future, and e-government in India may not be a dream.

In an upper class drawing room in Mumbai a dozen or so (166) the city's was a live-wire party an hour ago Poets editors writers filmmakers all card carrying members of the rich and powerful not at this late hour on their ninth drink are (168)in what Indians are best known to do media bashing armchair criticism and name-calling
Inevitably the talk turns to Tehelka and its managing director and editor in chief Tarun Tejpal and the party quickly degenerates into an orgy of guilt and shame and that peculiar habit of the Indian intelligentsia passing the buck with everyone present attacking his neighbour for not supporting Tejpal more It is a trait Tejpal is (169)with and has been telling me about in the weeks preceding this interview
Often at parties when someone (170) me great job carry on what you are doing and showers with me staggering praise staggering love staggering (171) just smile and let it pass as i don’t want about to score a brownie point and say and what about you boss what will you do ?
This lightly tossed sentence with the slightest hint of a dark chuckle is the only time I have seen Tejpal allow for bitterness though I have been (172)him for weeks for signs of it Because for man who has been the victim of the most (173) government witch-hunts in recent years Tejpal is astonishingly devoid of (174) you expect him to rage to spew fire to heap scorn and anger at his enemies and instead what you encounter is a man in whose eyes you see only compassion and a weary understanding of the nature of the beast
The abiding irony in all this is that unlike his armchair supporters in the middle class who rave and rant on his behalf but do nothing else Tejpal displays forbearance The fact that i am essentially a literary animal and literature has helped i’m not a black and white person I;m a (175) who understands the greys he says to me at a coffee shop over tea.

172
173
Solution
