SNAP 2006 Question Paper

It is given that  A+B+C+D = 96

Using statement I alone A+B+D = 20*3 = 60

Thus we can say that C = 96-60 = 36

Using Statement II alone

C+D = 2*25 = 50 and hence A+B = 46

Using both statements I and II

A+B = 46   hence D = 14

We still can't find the value of B even after using both the statements

Let h,e,s and p represent the scores in Hindi, Economics, Sociology and Philosophy respectively.

$$h\ =\ 15+\ \frac{\ h+e+s+p}{4}$$

From statement I alone we can see that even though we know h+p = 12 we can't determine exact value of h

In statement II we see that s-e = 120. Even if we input this in the original equation, we won't be able to determine the exact value of h.

Using both statement together also does not give the definite value of h

Here we have  to find the CP of a suitcase for Richard and M represent the labeled price

From Option I we see that he got discount of 20%on Marked Price. But since we do not know the MP it is not possible to determine CP for Richard

Using only Option II we see that we can we can obtain the profit in terms of marked price but not the cost price.

When we use the option I and II together we can determine CP and Profit in term of M and thus know the CP for Richard

Assume total work to be done = 12 units. Then $$\eta_B$$ = 1 unit/day

Using only statement I, we get $$\eta_A$$+ $$\eta_B$$ = 12/3 = 4unit/day. 

Thus only $$\eta_A$$ can be calculated.

Similarly using statement II, we can calculate $$\eta_C$$ only.

Using both the statement together will give $$\eta_A$$ as well as $$\eta_C$$  and thus we will get the required answer. Hence option C is correct

We see that the maximum value of export in 2000-01 belongs to Marine Products which is 1,394. and is 23.2% of total export.

Value of total export is US $ 6 billion.

Value of Marine Product will be $$23.2\%\ of\ 6\ billion$$ = US $ 1.39 billion

For Meat and Meat Preparation $$\%\ increase$$ = $$\ \frac{\ 322-187}{187}\times\ 100\%$$ = 72%

For Fruits and Vegetables $$\%\ increase$$ = $$\ \frac{\ 248-184}{184}\times\ 100\%$$ = 34%

For Processed Fruits and Vegetables $$\%\ increase$$ = $$\ \frac{\ 122-69}{69}\times\ 100\%$$ = 76.8%

Hence Option C is correct

The Veg Oil value for the import is 1334.

Next, highest value is of Cashew Nut i.e. 211

For both the commodities we see the decline in the imports. This is possible if the production of these commodities go up or the consumption goes down. But we cannot exactly say which of the following is true. However it is evident that the gap has decreased. Hence Option C

Even though India was importing the commodities the overall import has been coming down. Hence option A is not suitable.

Vegetable and Pulses form the majority of the import but it does not justify the statement as their import is also decreasing. Hence C is invalid.

Option D is incorrect as total export is less than the import

Option B states the correct scenario as we can see that overall import are coming down

A country should always be looking to export as much as possible and import as less as possible. As the import is decreasing, it is a positive sign. But the export is also decreasing, which is not a good sign.

Option A doesn't issue the address in hand and shifts focus.

Option B is totally the opposite.

Option C is partially right but limiting exports is not a good choice.

Option D is the solution to the problem.
