SRCC GBO 2017 Question Paper

The article discusses the frequent occurrence of major industrial accidents in India and systemic failures in the current safety regulations. It focuses on the need for a comprehensive safety case legislative framework, improved safety audits, and capacity building for inspectors to transform the safety regulatory system. This is captured in Option C.

Option A: This is mentioned, but it is not the main focus of the article. 

Option B: The passage states that India lacks a comprehensive and effective safety case regulatory regime. So, this is incorrect.

Option D: The focus is not on the safety record but on the systemic failures contributing to these accidents.

Option D is the correct answer.

All the options are discussed as issues in the passage.

Option A: The passage states that recurring industrial disasters cause loss of lives and erode the manufactured, human, and natural capital of the economy. 

Option B: The article mentions that improving safety regulations can restore public confidence in safety governance and promote collaboration with local communities.

Option C: The passage also mentions that achieving process safety excellence is a competitive advantage in global markets, leading to high-quality and reliable supplies. 

The passage states that India's current safety regulations are fragmented and outdated. It explains that various elements of safety are scattered across different rules, which have become antiquated compared to current industry best practices and community expectations. The passage also advocates for the consolidation of these scattered rules into a cohesive, integrated, and self-contained framework, indicating that the current system lacks these qualities. This is captured in Option B.

Option A: This is incorrect. The passage states that rules are fragmented and need to be consolidated.
Option C: This is also incorrect. The passage states that the current rules do not align with community expectations.
Option D is also incorrect. The passage states that the current rules do not define safety management systems or properly assess major accident risks.

Option D is the correct answer.

The passage suggests multiple steps to transform India’s safety regulatory system, including:

Option A: The passage states that India should consolidate fragmented safety regulations into a comprehensive and integrated safety case legislative framework. 

Option B: The passage mentions the need for better safety audits, expanding their scope beyond occupational safety to include major incident scenarios and performance assurance of safety controls. It also emphasizes the training of inspectors in process safety, incident investigation, and auditing. 

Option C: The passage states that current control rules do not consider safety management systems, even though systemic failures have led to major accidents. It also emphasizes the necessity to define what constitutes a safety management system and to ensure compliance. 

The passage states that current safety audits primarily focus on occupational safety and health issues but lack sufficient technical rigour. It also highlights the need to expand audits to cover major incident scenarios, performance assurance of safety controls, and broader process safety issues. This is captured in option C.

Option A: This is incorrect because the passage states that audits do not sufficiently assess major accident scenarios.

Option B: This is also incorrect because the passage says that audits lack technical rigour and need enhancement.

Option D: This is also incorrect because the passage states that the safety management systems are not considered in current rules.

Option D is the correct answer.

All three options are valid as per the passage.

Option A: The passage states that "only 25 per cent of Indian professionals are currently considered employable by multinationals." From this, we can infer that multinationals can employ only a limited number of Indian professionals because of our education system.

Option B: The passage mentions that "many organisations are finding themselves in short supply of the right talent as their operations expand globally," which indicates a shortage of skilled professionals to meet future needs.

Option C: The author mentions that "something must be done in India to ensure our talent is able to take their seat at the table in an increasingly competitive global talent market". From this, we can infer the point that India needs to act to avail this market opportunity. 

Statement I: The article states that the competitive assessment model ranks and rates employees against each other, driving performance on a comparative basis. This is true.

Statement II: The article mentions that Indian leaders have realized that performance management is one of the most powerful HR tools for delivering results and developing talent. This is also true.

Statement III: The article mentions that companies are moving away from the competitive assessment model and shifting towards a coaching and development model. This indicates that the competitive assessment model does not meet their needs adequately. This is not true.

Therefore, Option A ) Both I and II is the correct answer.

Option B is the correct answer. 

The article states that leadership coaching is aimed at helping managers become better leaders and prepare for the next level of leadership, rather than improving their current performance.

Option A: This is true. The article states that executive coaching is provided by someone outside the firm to maintain an unbiased perspective.

Option C: This is also true. The article mentions that organizations that are highly effective at coaching, report significantly higher employee productivity.

Option D: This is true. The article states that the US needs more than 25 million workers by 2030, and other Western countries will require an additional 45 million employees.

Option C is the correct answer. 

The article states that a high-impact coaching culture requires leaders, HR, and employees to each play their part, for coaching to be successful.

 The other options are not necessarily true or are incorrect.

As the passage shows, performance management enables an organisation to achieve multiple goals.

plays a fundamental role in developing talent in the right direction and promoting employee engagement and retention....
The competitive assessment model assumes that organisations improve through a process of ‘rigid individualism’...

These extracts validate that all the options are correct. Performance management is an HR tool that has competitive and coaching models, so these points are parts of these models, and hence a part of performance management.

The following sentence tells us that, "Ironically, the normally ....... speaker became shy"
That means the normal state we are looking for is on the opposite end of the spectrum of Shy. 

Let us look at the options: D is not relevant, A says quiet, which would be in line with shy, so this can be eliminated as well, and C as well is irrelevant. 

The answer is B. Garrulous means excessively talkative and reticent means not revealing one's thoughts easily. This is enough to say for certain that B is the answer. 

Although the whole team acted in unison, each member was ......... for a/an ........ of the production process.
This is the given sentence. We are looking for words that highlight the individuality and the fact that each person on the team was responsible for the success of the show and the production process. 
We see that Option B fits this need. 
Filling in with option B tells us that while the whole team acted together, each member was responsible for an element in the production process. 

We are looking for two words representing cause and effect filling the sentence. 
The correct answer is a) neglected, ignorance because neglecting children's studies (not attending to them) logically leads to ignorance (lack of knowledge) as a direct consequence. The other options either lack logical cause-effect relationships or use irrelevant words. 

First, we are looking for a word that pairs with "Confused". And then a word to complement the act where he could not make sense of his listener's impatience. 
The pair of words that make the most sense is incoherent and oblivious. Hence, D is the answer. 

Analysing the second blank in the sentence, we see that we need to look for a word that complements the sentence in the message that it leaves a lasting impression of the accident. 
That means disappearing, and evaporating can be eliminated right away. Paint is not a fluid, at least not when it is part of a car's paint job; hence, it cannot fit into the sentence. 

Hence, the answer is antifreeze and drip. 

This question is a bit tricky to answer since multiple choices seem to fit. In this context, “lecherous” seems to be used more figuratively, not necessarily referring to lustful behaviour, but rather as a descriptor of a more cunning or manipulative nature. It implies someone with ulterior motives, possibly scheming or deceptive, which aligns with the word “cunning.” Option D would fit well here.

However, note that the primary meaning of "lecherous" is still tied to excessive or inappropriate sexual desire (“lustful”). The cheating aspect could be a secondary implication, but it might not change the core meaning of the word.

The word "avouch" means to affirm or assert something. In the given sentence, it can be understood that only after the narrator affirms the honesty of his friend did Sunil employ him. 

Option D is a direct synonym of the word and would be the most appropriate choice. 

Option A would not fit in the sentence and can be easily eliminated. Options B and C are close and convey a similar sense but do not convey the same message as Avouch. 

Therefore, Option D is the correct answer. 

In most contexts, "sophomoric" conveys that something is juvenile or lacking in maturity; this makes Option C the correct choice. The sentence implies that the person’s comments (remarks) revealed their lack of maturity or depth, making it clear they were still inexperienced or naive in that area. Option D may seem like a close contender, but ignorance is not inherently the same as immaturity (though the former can sometimes contribute to the latter). Option A mentions "unpalatable", which means unpleasant or disagreeable; this does not fit the given text. Similarly, we can eliminate Option B - "casual" could imply a more informal remark; however, this does not tie in with the judgement of the person being naive (according to the speaker).

Hence, Option C is the best choice. 

The provided text illustrates that although India is a rapidly growing economy, it continues to encounter considerable challenges such as poverty, corruption, and inadequate governance, which impede its potential to evolve into a genuine superpower. Option C conveys this effectively.

Option A: The text doesn’t focus on the economic meltdown in the West nor state that Asia has entirely gained power during the recession. It just states that the balance is shifting.

Option B: The text mentions China’s rise to the second-largest economy, but this is not the central point of discussion.

Option D: The passage mentions corruption and poverty as challenges, but it doesn't imply that they are the main hindrances to economic growth. Other broader issues, like uneven growth and governance, are also mentioned. 

The given text emphasizes focusing on the present, taking responsibility for your actions, and engaging in self-reflection rather than blaming others or worrying about the past or future. Option B aligns with this central idea, as the passage encourages living in the present and not dwelling on past regrets or future concerns.

Option A: The text does not make a claim that self-introspection is always better than being critical.

Option C:  The passage primarily focuses on living in the present and emphasizing the "active voice" rather than simply pursuing earnestness without regard for the outcome.

Option D: This doesn’t capture the main focus on living in the present and self-reflection rather than concentrating on others’ faults.

We observe that among the given choices, Option C best captures the essence of the passage by highlighting: (i) the focus on posture and releasing muscle tension, (ii) the goal of addressing a number of disorders, and (iii) the role of a qualified teacher (mentioned in the text as "one to one sessions under a qualified teacher").

Contrarily, the remaining choices are either incomplete or misleading. For example, while Option A mentions the origin of the technique, it fails to capture the core purpose of the therapy or its application to a wide range of disorders. Option B also misses the focus on posture, muscle tension, etc. and its benefits for various disorders. We can eliminate Option D on similar grounds: though it lists some of the disorders the technique can address, it doesn't explain how the therapy works.

The given passage discusses how each country's financial system is currently supported by its own government, which leads to financial protectionism that threatens global financial markets. The author then argues for the necessity of international regulations to avoid issues like regulatory arbitrage. Option C best captures the recommendation (the need for international oversight) made by the author. 

Option A introduces "national sovereignty," which isn't explicitly mentioned in the passage. Governments do prioritize their economies but the core argument is about the need for international regulations, not sovereignty conflicts. Thus, we can eliminate this choice. Similarly, Option B correctly identifies financial protectionism as harmful but misses the main solution (international regulations) and focuses narrowly on globalization’s damage. Option D also mentions countries protecting their interests (a premise) but omits the critical call for international regulations.

Hence, Option C is the best choice. 

The text portrays leadership as a complex quality that requires various attributes, such as vision, courage, integrity, and the ability to inspire. It also mentions that leadership is tested in crises, and those who succeed are remembered. Option A captures this idea.

Option B: This focuses only on influence and goals, which do not cover the other aspects of leadership mentioned in the text.
Option C: This text does not focus on leadership in the context of organisations.
Option D: The text focuses majorly on the qualities of leadership and not the challenges of outcome.

"Impetuous" means acting quickly and without thought, impulsive, or rash.

Option A- Sluggish means slow-moving or lacking energy. This is not the exact meaning of impulsive and thoughtless decision-making.  

Option B - Swift means fast or quick, which is not the opposite of impetuous. An impetuous action is not just quick but also unthoughtful.

Option C- Rash means hasty and reckless, which is a synonym of impetuous, not the opposite.

Option D- Sensible means showing good judgment, careful thought, and wisdom, which is the opposite of impetuous (reckless and impulsive).

Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.

Altruistic refers to showing a disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others; unselfish. The opposite of the word is selfish, which is there in Option B.

Option A- Brutal means violent, cruel, or harsh, which is not the direct opposite of altruistic. 

Option C- Inhuman means lacking compassion or empathy, which is somewhat the opposite but not the best choice.

Option D- Wicked means evil or morally wrong, which is not the exact opposite of altruistic. 

Magnanimity refers to the state of being generous or forgiving, especially towards a rival or less powerful person. The opposite of magnanimity would be "meanness", which refers to selfishness, stinginess, or a lack of generosity. This is given in Option C.

Option A: Jealousy refers to resentment or envy of others' success or possessions, which is not the opposite of magnanimity. 

Option B: Enmity means hatred or hostility toward someone, which is not the direct opposite of magnanimity, as magnanimity is more about generosity than just the absence of hostility.

Option D: Poverty refers to a lack of wealth or resources. Magnanimity is about character and generosity, not material wealth. Therefore, poverty is not the opposite.

Option B is the correct answer.

"Exodus" refers to a large-scale departure or migration of people, often used in the context of a mass movement from one place to another.

Option A: Immigration refers specifically to people moving into a country, not a large-scale departure, so it doesn't match the meaning of "departure."

Option C: Piracy refers to attacking and robbing ships, which is unrelated to a mass movement of people.

Option D: Transfer refers to moving something or someone from one place to another, but it's generally used for large-scale human departure.

Option A is the correct answer.

"Sojourn" refers to a temporary or short stay at a place, making it the best match for the phrase "a short stay at a place."

Option B: Interlude refers to a break or pause, usually in a performance or event, not a stay.
Option C: Gap refers to a space or break between things. This is not a stay.
Option D: An interval is a short period of time between events or activities, and it need not involve a stay at a location.

We are looking for the ideal sentence to start the paragraph. Let us look at each of the sentences, 
A. India, on the other hand, would have adequate young manpower to even overtake China after sometime 

With the use of the "on the other hand" shows us that this sentence needs to come later since something else is being compared to India. 

B. But, a direct consequence of these is a situation where China would not have enough young workforce to further develop its economy after a few years.

This sentence is talking about a consequence of a particular something and hence cannot be the starting sentence

C. China’s population is much larger than that of India.

This can be a good starting sentence

D. As a result, China has been able to check its population growth effectively.

We need contextual information to understand the use of this sentence

E. However, in the past two decades, China has enforced strict measures to control its population growth.

Again, we need contextual information to understand this sentence. 

The paragraph starts with C

C is talking about the fact that the population is much larger than that of India. And E is a direct sentence that provides further information and context about the situation. 
D is talking about the direct effect of the actions enforced in setnece E. And sentence B talks about the direct consequence of D. 

Hence, the order of the sentences should be 
CEDBA

Let us understand the central theme of the passage, 
The five sentences revolve around the theme of weddings. We are looking for a sequence of sentences that introduce the idea of weddings, highlighting their importance and showcasing the need for a wedding planner. 
Let us look at the sentences that can give us this sequence, 
A. Therefore, hiring the services of a coordinator to execute the associated tasks is a good idea.
B. The fact is, a well planned wedding would be a remembrance for a life time.
C. With myriad functions taking place, a wedding ceremony is nothing shortof a theatrical production.
D. Indian weddings are usually elaborate affairs.
E. With many details for each function to be considered, it becomes so important to plan to streamline the process.

D is the sentence that introduces the idea of Indian weddings and their importance. C follows it up by showcasing the grand scale of these weddings. E is the next sentence, which talks about the tiny details and how it is important to streamline the process. A fit-in next shows how this streamlining can be done by hiring a wedding planner. And B concludes the paragraph by stating the long-lasting importance of a well-planned wedding. 

Hence, the correct order is, DCEAB

Let us understand the important nouns and phrases in each sentence and try to arrange them sequentially. 
reason for success-highly qualified professors-100 year university-initial departments-current status

We are looking for a sequence of sentences that introduces the university, takes you on a journey from the initial status to the current status and how the statute of its professionals leads to success. 
C. This university has completed 100 years.
D. Initially, the university had only six departments.
E. Now, it has 100 professors working in 30 departments.
B. All these professors are highly qualified.
A. This is the reason for achieving high academic excellence.

Hence, the correct order of sentences is CDEBA. 

Let us try to understand the central theme of the passage. We are looking for a sequence of sentences that clearly introduces the idea of management institutes from a chronological perspective. 
 At the time of independence, India did not have any management institute of high repute.
Is the first sentence introducing the idea that at the time of independence there was a lack of management institutes. 
The first IIM was established in 1961 in Kolkata.
Is the second sentence showing that there was progress made in establishing an institute 
However, the need to have more IIMs was still felt.
This sentence carries the sentiment of needing more IIM's. 
Subsequently, a few more IIMs were set up at various locations in India.
This sentence clearly shows the action carried out. 

Hence, the correct sequence is, 
CBDEA

The nouns used in the passage are house-woman-street-face-windows. 

We can sequentially arrange these nouns as: There is a street, where there is a house, which has windows, through which there is a woman with a face. 

This is the sequential arrangement of nouns that make sense. Let us try arranging the 5 sentences in a way that make sense, while arranging the nouns sequentially. 

C. Far away in a narrow street there is a house.
A. The house is quite old and in a bad shape.
E. One of the windows is open.
B. Through it, I can see an old woman seated in a chair.
D. Her face is worn and full of wrinkles.

Hence, the correct order of sentences is CAEBD

Let us examine the given choices - 

Option A: The sentence starts with the goal ("to reach the destination") but then introduces the action ("followed the route") before explaining the reason ("because he was confused"). This creates a slightly disjointed flow because the cause (confusion) is mentioned after the effect (following the route).

Option B: The phrase "as he became confused" is unnecessarily wordy and indirect. It introduces a causal relationship ("as") but does so in a way that feels less natural than simply stating the man's state of confusion upfront. The phrase "had to follow" implies obligation or compulsion, which is not inherently wrong but adds a layer of meaning that isn’t necessary. The sentence could be more straightforward by simply stating that he followed the route.

Option C: This sentence clearly establishes a simple cause-and-effect relationship between the man's confusion and his action. The cause (confusion) directly leads to the effect (“following the route”), and the sentence is easy to follow. The conjunction "so" efficiently links the cause and effect.

Option D: The phrase "as the man was confused" is inserted awkwardly in the middle of the sentence, breaking the natural flow. This makes the sentence harder to read and less cohesive. Furthermore, see how the sentence starts with "to reach the destination," which is the goal, but then interrupts with the reason for confusion before stating the action. This structure feels less direct and more convoluted.

Hence, between Options B and C, the latter is the better choice. 

It appears that the given sentence aims to communicate the idea that under certain conditions (if it is needed or necessary), new words can or should be employed to fully express the intensity or emotion of an exclamation. The key elements here are (i) conditionality (the use of new words is not absolute; it depends on whether it is necessary) and (ii) purpose (the goal is to express the "full force of exclamation"). Let us evaluate the given choices - 

Option A: Here, "could be used" is less definitive and slightly informal - it suggests possibility rather than recommendation, which weakens the intended meaning. Furthermore, the conditional phrase ("if required") is awkwardly placed in the middle of the sentence, disrupting the flow and making it less clear.

Option B: This choice corrects the problem with Option A: the phrase "if necessary" is placed at the beginning, making it immediately clear that the use of new words is conditional; this sets up the context. The use of "should be used" conveys a sense of recommendation or appropriateness, which fits well here. The sentence follows a natural order: condition → action → purpose. This structure makes it easy to follow the reasoning:

Option C: The structure here is awkward and confusing. The purpose ("to express the full force of exclamation") is stated first, followed by the condition ("if necessary"), and then the action ("new words will be used"). This disrupts the logical flow and makes the sentence harder to follow. Moreover, "will be used" is overly definitive and does not convey the conditional aspect as effectively as "should be used."

Option D: There seems to be a tense inconsistency here: "are used" is present tense and suggests a general truth or habitual action rather than a conditional recommendation. This makes the sentence less precise and less compelling.

Hence, Option B is the best choice. 

The structure ["Neither ... nor ..."] requires parallel construction. In this case, both parts of the sentence should follow the same grammatical pattern. Furthermore, in standard written English, when "Neither" or "Nor" begins a clause, the subject and auxiliary verb are inverted. This is why "does he come" and "does he write" are correct. The inversion ("does he") is necessary for formal writing. Thus, the correct structure would be: "Neither does he [verb] nor does he [verb]." We observe that only Option D reflects this. 

The key idea here: Emily’s action (retiring) is interrupted by her observation of someone else’s action (turning to the papers). The sentence should clearly show the cause-and-effect relationship between these two actions. The only sentence that conveys this without any grammatical or logical errors is Option B. The phrase "was hastily retiring" indicates that Emily was already in the process of retiring, but it’s interrupted. The phrase "saw him turn" is a simple past tense verb, showing that the action of her seeing him happened after she had already started retiring. This matches the narrative flow perfectly.

Option A: The placement of "but" is awkward and disrupts the flow of the sentence. It makes it seem like "but" is connecting "Emily" and "saw," which is not the intended contrast.

Option C: This sentence reverses the intended meaning. It suggests that Emily stopped retiring before she saw him turn to the papers, which doesn’t make logical sense. The cause-and-effect relationship is lost.

Option D: This sentence is overly repetitive and awkwardly structured. The repeated use of "and" makes the sentence feel disjointed. Moreover, it suggests that Emily stopped and then went to retire again, which contradicts the original idea that her retiring was interrupted, and she stopped as a result.

Hence, Option B is the best choice. 

In standard English, collective nouns such as “jury” are typically treated as singular. The only exception is when the sentence refers to individual members of the jury's actions. Hence, we need to use "was divided", taking jury as a singular noun. And also, "it returned" is to be used instead of "they returned." 

Hence, the standard and correct sentence is, 
At first the jury was divided in opinion, but finally it returned a unanimous verdict.

Option B is the correct answer.

The idiom "cast the first stone" means to be the first to criticize or attack someone. It refers to being the first to make an accusation or a judgment. 

The other options are incorrect because "cast the first stone" refers to making an attack or criticism first, not being involved, praising, or simply starting any fight.

Option A is the correct answer.

"Chew the cud" is an idiom that means to think deeply or reflect on something.

The other options don't capture the meaning of the idiom accurately.

Using, $$\frac{M_1D_1H_1}{W_1}$$ $$=\frac{M_2D_2H_2}{W_2}$$

Let $$t$$ hours per day each machine should work

=> $$\frac{2\times8\times12}{9000}\times90=\frac{3\times6\times t}{12000}\times80$$

=> $$16\times12=12t$$

=> $$t=16$$

$$\therefore$$ The machine should work 16 h/day

=> Ans - (B)

Let number of inlet pipes be $$x$$ and number of outlet pipes = $$(6-x)$$

According to ques,

=> $$\frac{x}{9}-\frac{(6-x)}{6}=\frac{1}{9}$$

=> $$\frac{6x-54+9x}{54}=\frac{1}{9}$$

=> $$15x-54=6$$

=> $$15x=60$$

=> $$x=\frac{60}{15}=4$$

$$\therefore$$ There are 4 inlet pipes.

=> Ans - (A)

Let cost price of color printer = Rs. $$100x$$ and C.P of computer system = Rs. $$100y$$

Case 1 : SP of color printer when sold at 20% profit = Rs. $$120x$$

Similarly, SP of computer system = Rs. $$90y$$

According to ques, => $$100x+100y=120x+90y$$

=> $$10y=20x$$

=> $$y=2x$$ -----------------(i)

Case 2 : SP of color printer at 15% loss = Rs. $$85x$$

SP of computer system = Rs. $$105y$$

=> Loss = $$(100x+100y)-(85x+105y)=800$$

=> $$15x-5y=800$$

=> $$3x-y=160$$

Substituting value from equation (i), => $$x=160$$

$$\therefore$$ Cost Price of color printer = Rs. 16,000

=> Ans - (A)

Since 25 gm of salt can be dissolved in 100 gm of water, 1 gm of salt can be dissolved in 4 gm of water.............. (1)

It is given that the solution of 1000 gm has 4% salt, which means 40 gm of salt and 960 gm of water. 

For 40 gm of salt, we need 160 gm of water (from statement 1). If the amount of water goes down further, there will be sedimentation. 

Hence, sedimentation shall start right after 800 gm of water has been evaporated (since anything below 160 gm would result in sedimentation).

Time taken to evaporate 800 gm of water is $$\ \frac{\ 800}{28}$$ or approximately 29 hours. 

If 'x' is the probability of rolling 2/4/6, then '2x' will be the probability of rolling any odd number

=> x + x + x + 2x + 2x + 2x = 1 => x = 1/9

Two-digit prime numbers that can be formed with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are:

11, 13, 23, 31, 41, 53, 61

=> Required probability = 2/9*2/9 + 2/9*2/9 + 1/9*2/9 + 1/9*2/9 + 2/9*2/9 + 1/9*2/9 = 18/81 = 2/9 [No correct option]

Let capacity of fuel tank = $$100x$$

According to ques,

=> $$\frac{1}{5}\times100x+22=\frac{3}{4}\times100x$$

=> $$20x+22=75x$$

=> $$75x-20x=55x=22$$

=> $$x=\frac{2}{5}$$

$$\therefore$$ Capacity = $$100\times\frac{2}{5}=40$$ litres

=> Ans - (A)

Difference between S.I. and C.I. for two years = $$\frac{Pr^2}{100^2}=20$$ ------------(i)

Difference for three years = $$\frac{Pr^2}{100^2}(3+\frac{r}{100})=61$$ -----------(ii)

Substituting value from equation (i) in equation (ii), => $$20\times(3+\frac{r}{100})=61$$

=> $$3+\frac{r}{100}=\frac{61}{20}=3.05$$

=> $$\frac{r}{100}=3.05-3=0.05$$

=> $$r=5\%$$

Substituting back in equation (i), => $$P\times\frac{25}{100\times100}=20$$

=> $$P=20\times400=Rs.$$ $$8,000$$

=> Ans - (C)

By rule of alligation, we have

=> Ans - (A)

When the coin is flipped fifth time, there is a chance of getting either head or tail. So, probability of getting head on fifth toss is $$\frac{1}{2}$$. It doesn't depend on first four outcomes.

=> Ans - (A)

Let constant amount each month = Rs. $$A$$ and for $$x$$ units consumed it is Rs. $$B$$

=> For a month, total bill = $$A+Bx$$

According to ques, => $$A+540B=1800$$ ------------(i)

and $$A+620B=2040$$ ---------(ii)

Subtracting equation (i) from (ii), => $$80B=240$$

=> $$B=3$$

Substituting above value in equation (i), => $$A=1800-1620=180$$

$$\therefore$$ Bill for 500 units consumed = $$180+(500\times3)=180+1500=Rs.$$ $$1680$$

=> Ans - (A) 

We are given the information that, 
The total capacity of the tank is $$2400m^3$$
The emptying capacity is given to be $$10m^3$$ per minute more than the filling capacity. So, let us consider that the emptying capacity is X+10 and the filling capacity is X. 

We are also given that the filling time is 8 minutes more than emptying time. 

Drawing up the equations, 
$$\frac{2400}{X+10}+8=\frac{2400}{X}$$

$$1=\frac{300}{X}-\frac{300}{X+10}$$

$$1=300\left(\frac{1}{X}-\frac{1}{X+10}\right)$$

$$1=300\left(\frac{10}{X\left(X+10\right)}\right)$$

$$X^2+10X-3000=0$$

$$\left(X+60\right)\left(X-50\right)$$

Since X cannot be negative, X is $$50\ \frac{m^3}{\min}$$

Hence, fillingcapacity is $$50\ \frac{m^3}{\min}$$

A and B walk at a speed of 2 rounds per hour and 3 rounds per hour.

They are walking around a circular track.

They started walking at 8:00 a.m from the same point in opposite directions.

In a circular track, when A and B are walking in opposite directions, the net speed = Speed of A + Speed of B.

We assume, A to be at rest, so speed of B will be = 3+2 = 5 rounds per hour.

So, from 8 to 9:30, in one and half hour, the number of rounds taken by B will be = 5*1.5 = 7.5 round.

Since, 7 rounds are completed, therefore, A and B will cross each other 7 times in this duration.

The given dimensions of the room are 10 m x 7m x 5 m

l x b x h = 10 x 7 x 5

We know the area of walls is = 2(lh + bh) = 2(10*5 + 7*5) 

Hence, the area of the walls = 170 sq m

We have to subtract the area of doors and the windows to get the paintable area

Area of both doors = 2*(1 x 3) = 6 sq m

Area of one window = 2 x 1.5 = 3 sq m

Area of other two windows = 2*(1 x 1.5) = 3 sq m

So, the paintable area = 170 - (6+3+3) = 158 sq m

Given the cost to paint is ₹3 per sq m

So, the total cost is $$158\times3=474$$

The probability of getting 1 or 3 when die is cast is $$\dfrac{2}{6}=\dfrac{1}{3}$$

The probability of selecting a black from the first bag is $$\dfrac{3}{3+4}=\dfrac{3}{7}$$

So, the probability of getting 1 or 3 and selecting a black ball is = $$\dfrac{1}{3}\times\dfrac{3}{7}=\dfrac{3}{21}$$

Similarly, the probability of getting 2, 4, 5 or 6 when die is cast is $$\dfrac{4}{6}=\dfrac{2}{3}$$

The probability of selecting a black from the second bag is $$\dfrac{4}{4+3}=\dfrac{4}{7}$$

So, the probability of getting 2, 4, 5 or 6 and selecting a black ball is = $$\dfrac{2}{3}\times\dfrac{4}{7}=\dfrac{8}{21}$$

Hence, the total probability of selecting a black ball is = $$\dfrac{3}{21}\ +\dfrac{8}{21}=\dfrac{11}{21}$$

It is given that A runs $$1\frac{2}{3}$$ times as fast as B.

Let us assume B runs at a speed of 6 m/s, so A will run at a speed of 6*5/3 = 10 m/s

We know that A gives B a headstart of 80 m.

We need to find the time at which A and B reach at the same time at winning post.

The difference between their speed (A and B ) = 10-6 = 4 m/s

They will reach the winning post at the same time, when A will be able to reach at position of B by covering the headstart distance.

Total distance = 80 m

A's speed which is more than B to cover the distance of 80 m = 4 m/sec

Time it takes to cover the distance = 80/4 = 20 sec

So, the winning post will be reached by A and B together in 20 seconds.

A will cover the distance = 10*20 = 200 meter

Given that the volume of the container is 50, length = 4.5, and breadth = 3.

=> height of the container = 50 / 4.5 * 3 = 3.7 [nearly]

We need to find the surface area of the container [open top]

=> lb + 2(lb + bh) = 69.

Now the weight of lead required = 69 * 27 = 1863 [Option-B].

When the ball is dropped in a cylindrical tub, it will displace the water equal to its volume based on Archimedes' Principle, which states that  the volume of the displaced fluid is the same as the volume of the object submerged.

We know the radius of the cylinder = 12 cm.

The height of water in the cylinder is increased by 6.75 cm.

We need to find the radius of the spherical ball. (Assume r)

Volume of cylinder = $$\pi R^2H$$

The volume of the cylinders increased because of the iron ball by a height of 6.75 cm

Volume increased = $$\pi R^2H$$ = $$\pi\left(12\right)^26.75$$

The volume of spherical iron ball = $$\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$$

Comparing both,

$$\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$$ = $$\pi\left(12\right)^26.75$$

$$r^3=9\times9\times9$$

r = 9 cm.

Let us assume the Selling Price = Rs.100

It is given that the gross profit is 26% of the selling price = 26% of 100 = 26

Therefore, Profit = Rs.26

Cost Price = Selling Price - Profit = 100-26 = Rs. 74

34% of the cost price = 74*0.34 = Rs. 25.16

We need to find What per cent selling price would be 34% of the cost price.

That is (25.16/100)*100 = 25.16%

Let us first understand what the questions ask. We are given that the bill has a certain present value, which seems to be reducing over time. 

We are given that the bill is 1200 rupees after 7 months and 1016 rupees after 2.5 years. That means the calculation for future value considering the current value of the bill using a rate of bill over the years is being done. 

We can write the equation that, Present value equals=$$1200\left(1+\frac{7}{12}\left(\frac{x}{100}\right)\right)$$

We can also write the equation that, Present value equals=$$1016\left(1+2.5\left(\frac{x}{100}\right)\right)$$

Let us equate both these equations by taking x/100 as z

$$1200\left(1+\frac{7}{12}z\right)=1016\left(1+2.5z\right)$$

$$1200+700z=1016+2540z$$

$$184=1840z$$

$$z=0.1$$

$$\frac{x}{100}=0.1$$

$$x=10\%$$

Let's denote their ages as P, Q and R itself.

We are first told that If the ages of P and R are added to twice the age of Q, the total becomes 59

P+R+2Q=59----1

We are then told that the ages of Q and R are added to thrice the age of P, so the total becomes 68

Q+R+3P=68-----2

At last, we are told that the age of P is added to thrice the age of Q and thrice the age of R, so the total becomes 108

P+3Q+3R=108-----3

This is a linear equation with 3 variables, 

Multiplying the second equation with 3 we get, 
3Q+3R+9P=204

Subtracting equation 3 from this equation we get, 
8P=96
P=12

Subtracting equation 1 from 2 we get, 2P-Q=9
Q=15

Substituting this we get, R=17

Hence, P=12. 

Present age of Mahesh = 5 years

Present age of Anup = 5 - 2 = 3 years

Let present age of Shyam = S

Now, 

$$\frac{S - 6}{18} = 3$$

S - 6 = 54

S = 60 years

Let speed of A and B is 'a' m/s and 'b' m/s respectively. 

Circumference of inner track = $$2\pi r = 200\pi$$ m

Circumference of outer track = $$2\pi r = 204\pi$$ mNow, 

$$a = \frac{200\pi}{90} = 2.22\pi$$ m/s (Approx)

$$b = \frac{204\pi}{92} = 2.21\pi$$ m/s (Approx)

Hence, A is faster than B. 

Out of 20 consecutive positive integers, 10 are even numbers and 10 odd numbers. 

Sum is odd when one number of even and other is odd. 

Favourable cases = $$10_{C_{1}} * 10_{C_{1}}$$ = 10 * 10

Total cases = $$20_{C_{2}}$$ = 10 * 19

Required probability = $$\frac{10 * 10}{10 * 19} = \frac{10}{19}$$

Let the time taken to cover 'D' km with speed S km/h is T hours. 

D = ST

$$D = (S + 4) * (T - \frac{30}{60})$$

$$D = ST - \frac{S}{2} + 4T - \frac{4}{2}$$

$$D = D - \frac{S}{2} + 4T - \frac{4}{2}$$

8T - S = 4 ......... (1)

$$D = (S - 2) * (T + \frac{20}{60})$$

$$D = ST + \frac{S}{3} - 2T - \frac{2}{3}$$

$$D = D + \frac{S}{3} - 2T - \frac{2}{3}$$

S - 6T = 2 ......... (2)

From (1) and (2):

T = 3 and S = 20

D = ST = 60 km

Let speed of faster and slower train is 'x' m/sec and 'y' m/sec respectibvely. 

Now, 

130 + 110 = (x - y) * 60

x - y = 4

130 + 110 = (x + y) * 3

x + y = 80

Speed of faster train = $$\frac{4 + 80}{2} = 42$$ m/sec

Let total number of boys in the class = B

Now, 

Average age of the class = $$18 = \frac{20 * B + 15 * 20}{B + 20}$$

18(B + 20) = 20B + 300

18B + 360 = 20B + 300

2B = 60

B = 30

Total tractors = 294000

Mahindra & Mahindra tractors = 150000

Non-Mahindra tractors = 294000 - 150000 = 144000

Total red colour Mahindra tractors = 150000 * $$\frac{98}{100} = 147000$$

Total red colour tractors = 53% of 294000 = 155820

Total red colour Non-Mahindra tractors = 155820 - 147000 = 8820

Required percent = $$\frac{8820}{144000} * 100 = 6.125$$%

Price at which merchant purchased = 100x

Price at which merchant sold = 120% of 100x = 120x

New price at which merchant purchased = 90% of 100x = 90x

New price at which merchant sold = 110% of 120x = 132x

New profit percent = $$\frac{132 - 90}{90} * 100 = 46.67$$%

Difference between profit percents = 46.67 - 20 = 26.67%

Required percent = $$\frac{26.67}{20} * 100 = 133.33$$%

15 men or 24 women or 36 boys wah do a piece of work in 12 days.

15M = 24W

1W = $$\frac{5}{8}$$M

15M = 36B

1B = $$\frac{5}{12}$$M

Let 'x' men are required. 

Now, 

$$2\frac{1}{4} * 15M * 12 * 8 = (xM +12W + 6B) * 30 * 6$$

$$\frac{9 * 15M * 12 * 8}{4} = (xM +7.5M + 2.5M) * 30 * 6$$

(x + 10) = 18

x = 8

Let height of shorter tower = CD = AB = x

$$\angle ACP = 30^0$$

AP = PB - AB = 150 - x

AC = BD = 60 m

Now, 

$$tan30^0 = \frac{AP}{AC}$$

$$\frac{1}{\sqrt3} = \frac{150 - x}{60}$$

$$150 - x = \frac{60}{\sqrt3} = 20\sqrt3$$

$$x = 150 - 20\sqrt3$$

x = 150 - 34.64

x = 115.36 = 116 m

Let the distance between A and B = 'D' km

Sspeed of the boat in still water =9 km/h

Sspeed of the current =3 km/h

Upstream speed = 9 - 3 = 6 km/h

Downstream speed = 9 + 3 = 12 km/h

Now, 

$$\frac{D}{6} + \frac{D}{12} = 3$$

2D + D = 36

D = 12 km

Total amount of ore in a year = 100x

Wasted ore = 20% off 100x = 20x

Remaining ore = 100x - 20x = 80x

Amount of pure iron = 25% of 80x = 80000

20x = 80000

x = 4000

Qquantity of hematite mined in the year = 100x = 400000 kg

Let speed of car = 'x' km/h

Effective speed when car and pedestrian travelling in the same direction = (x - 2)

Since the pedestrian could see the car up to a distance of 0.6 km. So, total distance distance = 0.6 km

Now, 

$$(x - 2) * \frac{6}{60} = 0.6$$

(x - 2) = 6

x = 8 km/h

Since the work done by A in 5 days is equal to the work done by B in 4 days.

So, time taken by A and B alone to do the work is 5x and 4x respectively. 

Time taken by C alone to do the work = C

Now, 

$$\frac{10}{5x} + \frac{10}{4x} + \frac{3}{C} = 1$$ ........ (1)

$$\frac{3}{5x} + \frac{3}{4x} + \frac{3}{C} = \frac{37}{100}$$ ...... (2)

From (1) and (2):

$$\frac{7}{5x} + \frac{7}{4x} = 1 - \frac{37}{100}$$

$$\frac{28 + 35}{20x} = \frac{63}{100}$$

x = 5 and C = 30

Time taken by A alone to do the work = 5x = 25 days

Time taken by B alone to do the work = 4x = 20 days

Time taken by C alone to do the work = C = 30 days

Hence, the time required by the fastest worker to complete the entire work = 20 days

The volume of three containers are 403 litres, 434 litres and 465 litres. 

The biggest measure that can measure all the different quantities exactly = HCF of 403, 434, 465. 

403 = 13 * 31

434 = 2 * 7 * 31

465 = 3 * 5 * 31

HCF = 31

Hence, required measure = 31 litres

Radius of conical tent = r = 5 m

Height of conical tent = h = 12 m

Lateral height = $$l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2} = \sqrt{5^2 + 12^2} = 13$$ cm

Aarea of the canvas required in making the tent = Curved Surface area = $$\pi rl = \pi * 5 * 13 = 65 \pi m^2$$ 

BC = 192 m

$$tan\theta = \frac{AP}{AB + BC}$$

$$\frac{5}{12} = \frac{AP}{AB + 192}$$

5AB + 960 = 12AP .......... (1)

$$tan\alpha = \frac{AP}{AB}$$

$$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{AP}{AB}$$

3AB = 4AP

9AB = 12AP .......... (2)

From (1) and (2):

5AB + 960 = 9AB

AB = 240

From equation (2):

9 * 240 = 12AP

AP = 180 m

Let actual height = 100x

Stated height = 125% of 100x = 125x

Correction made by candidate from the stated height = 125x - 100x = 25x

Required percent = $$\frac{25x}{125x} * 100$$ = 20%

Let the number of units produced = x

Materials and labour cost of 'x' units = 40x

Total cost price = 40x + 3000

Total selling price = (40x + 3000) + 1000 = 60x

20x = 4000

x = 200

Hence, he must produce and sell 200 units. 

Each passcode contains 8 words.

For the next batch's passcode, the words of the previous batch's passcode are jumbled in this way.

1st word -> 2nd word

2nd word -> 3rd word

3rd word -> 6th word

4th word -> 7th word

5th word -> 8th word

6th word -> 5th word

7th word -> 4th word

8th word -> 1st word

Given the passcode for the third batch is ‘night succeed day and hard work to for’

So, passcode for

4th batch - ‘for night succeed to work day and hard’

5th batch - ‘hard for night and day succeed to work’

6th batch - ‘work hard for to succeed night and day’

Hence, the answer is Option C.

Each passcode contains 8 words.

For the next batch's passcode, the words of the previous batch's passcode are jumbled in this way.

1st word -> 2nd word

2nd word -> 3rd word

3rd word -> 6th word

8th word -> 1st word

Given ‘visit in zoo should the time day’ is the pass-codes for the fifth batch, so we want to find for which batch the passcode is ‘zoo we the should visit day time in’

We see that "zoo" is the third word in fifth batch's passcode, while it is the first word in other passcode.

As the first word becomes second word in next passcode and second word becomes the third the next passcode.

So, the other passcode is the passcode for 2 batches before 5th i.e. the 3rd batch.

Hence, the answer is Option D.

Each passcode contains 8 words.

For the next batch's passcode, the words of the previous batch's passcode are jumbled in this way.

1st word -> 2nd word

2nd word -> 3rd word

3rd word -> 6th word

4th word -> 7th word

5th word -> 8th word

6th word -> 5th word

7th word -> 4th word

8th word -> 1st word

To get the previous pass code replace 

1st word -> 8th word

2nd word -> 1st word

3rd word -> 2nd word

4th word -> 7th word

5th word -> 6th word

Given the passcode for fourth batch is ‘to fast rush avoid not do very run’.

So, passcode for

3rd batch - ‘fast rush do very run not avoid to’

2nd batch - ‘rush do not avoid to run very fast’

Hence, the answer is Option A

We can visualise the above as follows -

Option A (ACB): Incorrect; "All synopses are poets" and "Some synopses are mentors" only proves some poets are mentors, but cannot confirm that "Some Xs are not mentors" without knowing the relationship between X and the other groups.

Option B (AEC): Incorrect; If all synopses are poets (A) and all synopses are mentors (E), it logically follows that some poets are mentors, but it provides no information to conclude that "Some Xs are not mentors" (C).

Option C (FEC): Incorrect; If all synopses are X (F) and all synopses are mentors (E), then some X must be mentors, which contradicts the conclusion that "Some Xs are not mentors" (C) in a standard logical flow.

Option D (DFA): Correct; If all Xs are poets (D) and all synopses are X (F), then by transitive property, it is logically certain that "All synopses are poets" (A).
Thus, the correct answer is Option D.

The total cost of Wood flooring will be (667+221)(170)=150960
The total cost of Marble flooring will be (182+273+609)=202160

This in its simplified form is 1887 : 2527

Branch Manager Office dimension is 13x17 is 221m

We have two walls at 13x12 and two walls at 17x12
Total square area of the four walls is 2(12(13+17))=720sqm

720x190=136800

Flooring is 13x17 which is 221 and the cost of wood is 170 per sqm, so the total cost is 37570

Hence, the overall cost will be, 174370

A 8 B 6 # 7 H U % 3 $ F V R 2 I @ ↑ 4 1 W E 9 Ⓒ L 5

Which of the following is seventh to the right of fifteenth from the right end?

1st term from right end = 5

2nd term from right end = L

15th term from right end = F

7th term to the right of F (15th term from right) = 4

A 8 B 6 # 7 H U % 3 $ F V R 2 I @ ↑ 4 1 W E 9 Ⓒ L 5

If all the symbols are dropped from the above arrangement which of the following will be eighth from the left end?

Let us drop all the symbols from above.

A 8 B 6 7 H U 3 F V R 2 I 4 1 W E 9 L 5

We need to find the eighth element from the left end.

1st term from left = A

2nd term from left = 8

..

..

8th term from left = 3

A 8 B 6 # 7 H U % 3 $ F V R 2 I @ ↑ 4 1 W E 9 Ⓒ L 5

How many such symbols are there in the above arrangement, each of which is immediately followed by a consonant and also immediately preceded by a number?

Vowels = A, E, I, O and U

Consonants = Except Vowels

Let us analyse every symbol with the preceding and succeeding elements.

Our aim is to find the elements of the form : Number Symbol Consonant

6 # 7 = False ( No consonant after symbol)

U % 3 =  False ( Vowel before symbol)

3 $ F = True (Number Symbol Consonant)

I @ ↑ = False (Vowel before symbol)

@ ↑ 4 = False (Symbol before symbol)

9 Ⓒ L = True (Number Symbol Consonant)

Hence, two symbols in the above arrangement which is immediately followed by a consonant and also immediately preceded by a number.

A 8 B 6 # 7 H U % 3 $ F V R 2 I @ ↑ 4 1 W E 9 Ⓒ L 5

How many such numbers are there in the above arrangement each of which is immediately followed by a vowel but not immediately preceded by a number?

Vowels = A, E, I, O and U

Consonants = Except Vowels

Let us analyse every symbol with the preceding and succeeding elements.

Our aim is to find the elements of the form : Not a Number, Symbol, Consonant

6 # 7 = False ( Number before symbol)

U % 3 = False ( number after symbol)

3 $ F = False (Number before symbol)

I @ ↑ = False (Symbol after symbol)

@ ↑ 4 = False (Number after symbol)

9 Ⓒ L = False (Number before symbol)

Hence,no symbols in the above arrangement which is immediately followed by a vowel but not immediately preceded by a number.

Let us check the pattern in each option.

A) B7#

In the given arrangement A 8 B 6 # 7 H U % 3 $ F V R 2 I @ ↑ 4 1 W E 9 Ⓒ L 5

We see that B = 3rd from left

7 = 6the from left

# = 5th from left

B6#7

So, B = 1st term, 7 = 4th term and # = 3rd term.

B) F2R

If, we look at the sequence FVR2

So, if F = 1st term, 2 = 4th term and R = 3rd term.

C) 95L

If we look at the sequence 9 Ⓒ L 5

So, if 9 = 1st term, 5 = 4th term and L = 3rd term

D) WⒸE

If we look at the sequence W E 9 Ⓒ

W = 1st term, Ⓒ = 4th term but E = 2nd term.

Therefore, Option D is the one that does not belong to the group.

Conclusion 1 talks about political freedom and democracy being intertwined, but the main statement implies that these two are merely aftereffects of economic equality. It is not clear that political freedom and democracy shall always go hand in hand. Hence, an invalid conclusion.

Conclusion 2 is actually a restatement, hence valid. 

Conclusion 1 is a generic statement, and we cannot infer anything just from a statement about music. 

Conclusion 2 is correct since the statement mentions that a good voice needs practice as well, which makes it clear that one can practice even without a good voice.

Both conclusions are invalid as we can neither say for sure that importing crude oil is the only way out (and not increasing the production), nor we can say that the demand shall be reduced (or they are wrong).

Both statements elaborate upon the rarity of this transplant but do not show any sign of being in a causal relationship. They probably are effects of a common cause (surgery or illness).

S1 talks about a huge number of aspirants failing due to very difficult questions. Hence, the recourse has been given by the government in S2. S1 is the cause, and S2 is the effect. 

Clearly, S1 talks about excessive congestion due to cars, the recourse of which has been given in S2 which is floating a tender. 

Let the number of days they did yoga be x and the number of days they played tennis be y.

The number of days when they stayed home all day was z.

Given that 24 mornings, they did nothing.

In those days, they either played evening tennis or stayed home all day.Hence y+z=24 ---(1)

Fourteen evenings, they stayed at home. So they either did yoga in the morning or stayed home all day x+z=14.----(2)

Now, 22 days, they do yoga or play tennis.x+y=22 ---(3)

From (1), z=24−y

Substituting in (2) x+24−y=14
x−y=−10 ---(4)

(3)+(4) 2x=12 giving x=6y=22−x=16

and z=24−y=8

Hence, the total number of days = x+y+z=6+16+8=30

Let us solve this problem by using the options, 
Option A: 24, sum is 6. The square of the sum of the digits is 36, the difference between S and D will be 12. 
Option B: 54, the sum is 9. The square of the sum of the digits is 81, the difference between S and D will be 27. 
Option C: 34, the sum is 7. The square of the sum of the digits is 49, the difference is between S, and D will be 15. 
Option D: 45, sum is 9, Square of the sum of the digits is 81, difference between S and D will be 36. 

Hence, Option B is the answer. 

We can solve this problem by backtracking. 

The thief left with one diamond. So when he met the final guards, he must have given him two more than his half. 
If he still had 1, adding 2 equals 3, which must be half of what he had. 

When reaching the third guard, the thief had six diamonds; he gave half and then two more, giving five diamonds to the third watchmen. 

We have to apply the same logic to the two earlier guards. 

When he left the second watchman, he had six diamonds, meaning when approaching the second watchman, he must have had 2(6+2) = 16 diamonds. 

When he left the first watchman, he had 16 diamonds, meaning when he approached the first watchman, he must have had 2(16+2) = 36 diamonds. 

Therefore, Option B is the correct answer. 

Let's take the amount paid by Mani, Mita, Lata and John to be a, b, c and d, respectively. 

we know that a+b+c+d=60  ...(1)

We are given that a = (b+c+d)/2 
Replacing this in (1) we get 3a=60, giving $$a$$ equals 20

b+c+d=40     ...(2)

Next, we are given that b = (a+c+d)/3
a+c+d = 3b
c+d = 3b-20
Substituting this in (2), we get:

4b-20=40
b=15

Giving c+d = 25 ....(3)

Finally we are given that c=(a+b+d)/4
20+15+d=4c
d=4c-35

Substituting this in (3), we get:
5c-35=25
5c=60
c=12

Giving d=13

Therefore, Option B is the correct answer. 

Given Ankit puts E, H and M on the east wall, so, R, O and T are on the west wall.

Given T and O go well together

So, O cannot be in the centre of the west wall.

Hence, the answer is Option B

Spelling "MOTHER" starting with the leftmost painting on the east wall and going around the room, we get

M O T

| | |

R E H

So, M is opposite R

O is opposite E

and T is opposite H

Hence, Option D "T is opposite R" is false.

H, M and R cannot be on the same wall because the remaining paintings T, E and O cannot be placed together.

Hence, the answer is Option C, H, M and R to be on the same wall.

We know that the colours of O and E do not look good next to each other.

Hence, if both O are opposite to each other in the middle, the E paining will have to come next to O paining, which is not possible.

Hence, the answer is Option A, O can be on opposite walls in the middle.

All three are correct sequence of decreasing intelligence.

A is true since Bangladesh was made a country in 1971. Before that, it was known as East Pakistan. Hence, Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

A presidential form of government can indeed bring political stability in certain situations. Hence, both A and R are true, while R being a correct explanation of A. 

It is not clear as to how giving the states more autonomy will increase separatist tendencies. Hence, A is true but R is false. 

Tricolor refers to something which has three colors. Hence, both A and R are true, while R is the correct explanation of A.

Looking at each statement individually:

Option A: I and II cannot be both true, and hence option A can be eliminated as an option. 

Option B: These two statements can be both true and both false. 

Option C: These two directly contradict each other and hence can not be both true. 

Option D: These are polar opposite statements and can not be both true. 

We can check preliminarily for the ability of both statements to be true. 

Option A: Both of these statements can not be true. If all Ps are Q, then some Ps can not be Q. Hence, this is not our answer. 

Option B: This too can not be true; III can not be true if I is true. 

Option C: Both of these can again not be true. If I is true, IV cannot be true. 

Option D: This is possible; if no Ps are Q (IV), then some Ps are not Q(II). 

Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.

In the year 2015, there were a total of 142,980 vehicles, the number of vehicles of type A and D is 20% and 15% of the total. 

Together, it will be 15+20 = 35% of 142,980 = $$\ \frac{\ 35}{100}\times\ 142,980\ =50,043$$

In 2016, F & A together will be 39% of the total ( 18% and 21%)

This will be = $$\ \frac{\ 39}{100}\times\ 186,400\ =72,696$$

Now, the number of vehicles of type A and D together as a percentage of the number of vehicles type F and A together in 2016 will be: 

$$\ \frac{\ 50,043}{72,696}\times\ 100\ =68.83\%$$

For A:
In 2015, 20% of 142,980 = 28,596
In 2016, 21% of 186,400 = 39,144
Difference = 10,548

For B:
In 2015, 5% of 142,980 = 7149
In 2016, 10% of 186,400 = 18,640
Difference = 11,491

For C:
In 2015, 10% of 142,980 = 14,298
In 2016, 15% of 186,400 =  27,960
Difference = 13,662

For E:
In 2015, 30% of 142,980 = 42,896
In 2016, 26% of 186,400 = 48,464
Difference = 5,568

From this, we can see that C had the maximum difference of 13,662 from 2015 to 2016

Option B is the correct answer,

The number of B type of vehicles in 2015 and 2016 are:

In 2015, 5% of 142,980 = 7,149

In 2016, 10% of 186,400 = 18,640

The difference is 18,640- 7,149 = 11,491

Option A is the correct answer.

If the number of D-type vehicles in 2015 was 5000, the percentage of them in the state would be: 

$$\ \frac{\ 5000}{142980}\times\ 100\ =3.49\%$$

The number of A type of vehicles in 2015 and 2016 are:

In 2015, 20% of 142,980 = 28,596
In 2016, 21% of 186,400 = 39,144

The number of A type of vehicle in 2016 as a percentage of the number of A type of vehicles in 2015 =
 $$\ \ \frac{\ 39144}{28596}\times\ 100\ =136.88\%\ \sim137\%$$

Since we know the revenue for each bank and the split for each, we can make the following table. 

78 crores from Q (Home Loans)

We see that A has the closest value at 76.8 crores. Hence, the answer is Bank A. 

Since we know the revenue of each Bank and the split of the revenue, we can come up with the following table. 

Business Loans is P. 
A and C are given to have a split of 45% and 55% for SSI and CI
B and D are given to have a split of 55% and 45% for SSI and CI

We want to find the least value for a bank for either of these industries. 
The smallest value and the smallest percentage, both are with Bank A

Hence, the answer is Bank A through SSI

We can draw the following table since we know each bank's revenue and its split. 

We are told that 36 crore is the total revenue from the three banks for car loans, and they are in the ratio 2:3:3:4.
B: 6 crores out of 79.8; this is around 7.5%
D: 9 crores out of 91; this is nearly 10%
E: 9 crores out of 102.2; this is 8.8 %
F: 12 crores out of 85.4; this is 14%

Hence, the answer is Bank E. 

We know the revenue and the split of revenue, we get the following table. 

Deposits in Other financial institutions is T. We see that T for B is 62.7 and T for F is 67.1

F is in the ratio 4:3:3 for the three financial institutions 
B is in the ratio 2:3:1 for the three financial institutions. 

We can say that the interest ratio for each of the three institutions is the same for both banks B and F. 

So, we need to find the percentage difference in the principal amount that Is invested. 

F it is 4/10 of the 67.1; this equals 26.84
B it is 1/3 of the 62.7; this equals 20.9

F's earnings will be more than B's by, $$\frac{26.81-20.9}{20.9}\times\ 100=28.42\%$$

We know the amount of money each bank made and the division of that revenue, we can draw up the following table. 

We are asked to find by what percentage the largest amount of money made by a bank through U and V together is greater than the least amount of money made through U and V. 

We see that U and V together account for 30% of the total revenue, the largest amount of money made by is E, and least is A

U and V by A is 144
U and V by E is 219

$$\frac{219}{144}=1.52083$$

Hence, the answer is 52.08%

Firm A, B and C have a revenue of 2350, 4760 and 3870 crores, respectively in 2012.

So, calculating their revenues in 2011

Firm A - Saw a 15% rise

So, Firm A's 2011 revenue is $$\dfrac{2350}{\left(1+\dfrac{15}{100}\right)}=\dfrac{2350}{1.15}=2043.5$$ crores

Firm B - Saw a 6% rise

So, Firm B's 2011 revenue is $$\dfrac{4760}{\left(1+\dfrac{6}{100}\right)}=\dfrac{4760}{1.06}=4490.5$$ crores

Firm C - Saw a 9% rise

So, Firm C's 2011 revenue is $$\dfrac{3870}{\left(1+\dfrac{9}{100}\right)}=\dfrac{3870}{1.09}=3550.5$$ crores

Hence, the least revenue is of Firm A at 2043.5 crores.

The revenues of Firms A, B and C in 2014 is 3470, 3587 and 3765 crores respectively.

Given Firms A, B and C invested 1600, 2011 and 2300 crores respectively.

So, the profit percentages of the firms are

Firm A - $$\dfrac{3470-1600}{3470}\times100=\dfrac{1870}{3470}=53.9\%$$

Firm B - $$\dfrac{3587-2011}{3587}\times100=\dfrac{1576}{3587}=43.9\%$$

Firm C - $$\dfrac{3765-2300}{3765}\times100=\dfrac{1465}{3765}=38.9\%$$

Hence, the difference between maximum and minimum profit per cent in 2014 is 53.9-38.9 = 15.0%

Hence, the answer is Option C.

The average revenue of all three firms in 2016 is $$\dfrac{4230+4075+3965}{3}=4090$$

Firm C's revenue in 2016 is 3965 cr

As the firm has to make 10% more than the average of 2016, the revenue will be 

$$4090\times\left(1+\dfrac{10}{100}\right)=4499$$ crores

Assuming the percentage increase in C's revenue is $$x$$

So, $$3965\times\left(1+\dfrac{x}{100}\right)=4499$$

or, $$\left(1+\dfrac{x}{100}\right)=1.1347$$

$$x=13.47\%$$

Hence, the answer is 13.47%

The revenue of A in 2015, B in 2013 and C in 2012 is 3678, 5070, 3870 crores, respectively.

So, the average is $$\dfrac{3678+5070+3870}{3}=4206$$

Given that the profit earned by A in 2015 is $$\dfrac{1}{6}th$$ of this average i.e.

$$\dfrac{4206}{6}=701$$ crores

So, the Investment = Revenue - Profit

or, Investment = 3678 - 701 = 2977 crores.

Firm A's revenue in 2013 is 3150 crores.

Given 27% of these came from LIG i.e. $$3150\times\dfrac{27}{100}=850.5$$

It spent 350 crores less than this

So, the profit percentage is $$\dfrac{350}{850.5}\times100=41.15\%$$

Similarly, 

Firm B's revenue in 2013 is 5070 crores.

Given 42% of these came from MIG i.e. $$5070\times\dfrac{42}{100}=2129.4$$

It spent 350 crores less than this

So, the profit percentage is $$\dfrac{350}{5070}\times100=6.9\%$$

Hence, the difference in profit percentage is 41.15 - 6.9 = 34.24%

So, the answer is Option B.

In 2011, Company A invested ₹830 crore.

Whereas C invested an amount that bears a ratio of 3 2 with that of A.

Investment done by C = 830*3/2 = 830*1.5 = ₹1245 crore.

The revenue generated by C in 2011 is ...........?

We know Revenue =  Investment + Profit

Profit made by C in 2011 = 32% of Revenue

Hence, Profit made by C in 2011 = 1245*0.32 = ₹398.4 crore.

Therefore, the revenue generated by C in 2011 = 1245+398.4 = ₹1643.4 crore

The total revenue generated by all the companies in-2014 is ₹3600 crore.

The revenue of C is 30% of the total revenue = 30% of 3600 crore = 1080 crore.

The revenue generated by A, B and D in the same year is $$\frac{7}{25}, \frac{2}{5}$$ and $$\frac{8}{25}$$ respectively of the remaining revenue

Or the ratio is 7:10:8 of the remaining amount of 2520 crore.

Revenue = Investment (100+profit%)

Revenue of A = (7/25)*2520 = 700 crore approx

Revenue of B = (10/25)*2520 = 1000 crore approx

Revenue of D = (8/25)*2520 = 800 crore approx

Percentage profits of A, B, C and D are 32%,30%,33% and 38%.

Investment of A = 700/1.32 = 530.30 crore

Investment of B = 1000/1.3 = 769.32 crore

Investment of C = 1080/1.33 = 812.03 crore

Investment of D = 800/1.38 = 579.79 crore

C makes the maximum investment in that year.

C invested = ₹630 crore.

B Invested $$\frac{2}{3}$$ of C = 2/3*630 = ₹420 crore.

A invested $$\frac{3}{4}$$ of the amount invested by B = 3/4*420 = ₹315 crore.

D invested $$1\frac{3}{5}$$ of A = 8/5*315 = ₹504 crore.

Revenue = Investment + Profit

Investment of A = 315 crore, Investment of D = 504 crore

Profit of both A and D = 29% of Investment.

Hence, the total revenue of A and D = (315+504)*1.29 = ₹1056.51 crore

Similarly, Revenue of B and C = Investment of B and C + Profit of B and C.

Revenue of B = 420*(1.24) = ₹ 520.8 crore

Revenue of C = 630*(1.29) = ₹ 812.7 crore

Total revenue of B and C = 520.8+812.7 = ₹1333.5 Crore

Difference of Revenue of B and C with A and D = 1333.5-1056.51 = ₹276.99 crore

The revenue generated by A and D is less by ₹276.99 crore than that by B and C.

Investment made by A = ₹437 crore

B invests 20% more than A = 1.2*437 crore

C invests 205 less than B = 1.2*0.8*437 = 0.96*473 crore

D invests 20% more than C = 1.2*0.96*473 = 1.152*473 crore

If the profit earned by each is the average profit per cent in 2016.If the profit earned by each is the average profit per cent in 2016

That means A, B, C and D earn equal profit percentages.

Revenue = Investment + Profit

Since the profit percentage is same.

The company which invest less will earn less revenue.

Therefore, the least revenue will be of company C.

We need to find the company which has the maximum percentage difference in the viewership of its channels I and III with respect to channel I.

Let us check each and every option individually.

Option A) Company-  E

Viewership of Channel I = 57 lakhs

Viewership of Channel III = 1.49 Crore

Difference = 1.49 crore - 57 lakh = 92 lakhs

Difference of I and III with respect to I = 92/57 = 1.61 = 161%

Option B) Company- B

Viewership of Channel I = 1.25 Crore

Viewership of Channel III = 93 lakhs

Difference = 1.25 crore - 93 lakh = 32 lakhs

Difference of I and III with respect to I = 32/125 = 0.256 = 25.6%

Option C)  Company- A

Viewership of Channel I = 70 lakh

Viewership of Channel III = 1.2 Crore

Difference = 1.2 crore - 70 lakh = 50 lakhs

Difference of I and III with respect to I = 50/120 = 0.4166 = 41.66%

Option D) Company- F

Viewership of Channel I = 1.86 Crore

Viewership of Channel III = 84 lakhs

Difference = 1.86 crore - 84 lakh = 102 lakhs

Difference of I and III with respect to I = 102/186 = 0.5483 = 54.83%

Hence, it is maximum for the Company E.

It is given that Two-fifth of the viewers of channel V of A shifted to channel V of B and E.

Two-fifth of the viewers of channel V of A = 0.4*2.13 = 0.852 crore

$$\frac{2}{3}$$ of these to B and the remaining to E

B = 0.852*2/3 = 0.568 crore

E = 0.284 crore

Remaining viewers of channel V of A = 2.13-0.852 = 1.278 crore

One-fourth of viewer of channel V of C have now started watching channel V of D and F.

One-fourth of viewer of channel V of C = 0.25*1.89 = 0.4725 crore

$$\frac{3}{7}$$ of it D and the rest F

D = 0.4725*3/7 = 0.2025 crore

F = 0.4725*4/7 = 0.27 crore

Remaining viewers of channel V of C = 1.89-0.4725 = 1.4175 crore

In the new distribution, the company that has the maximum number of viewers for channel V is company C.

The daily revenue generated through advertisment by channel III of companies A, C and F is in the same proportion as the ratio of their viewership.

The ratio of viewership by Channel III of companies A, C and F are = 1.2 crore: 1.36 crore: 0.86 crore

120:136:86 or 30:34:21

The total amount collected in a day by them is ₹340 crore.

The amount collected by channel III of company C will be = $$\dfrac{34}{85}\times340$$ = ₹136 crore.

The revenue generated by channel II of D which is 8% more than that of channel III of C is = 136*0.08 = ₹10.88 crore

The informative programme on channel II of B is watched by 27% of viewers of this channel.

The viewers on channel II of B = 1.38 crore

The informative programme on channel II of B is watched by 27% of viewers of this channel= 1.38*0.27 = 0.3726 crore

If the viewers of informative programmes of channel III of C is less by 35% of viewers of entertainment programmes of channel II of B.

= 65% of viewers of entertainment programmes of channel II of B

=> 65% of 1.0074 = 0.65481 crore

Then the number of viewers of entertainment programmes of channel III of C is ........... than that of channel II of B.

The number of viewers of entertainment programmes of channel III of C = 0.65481 crore

The number of viewers of entertainment programmes of channel II of B = 1.0074 crore
