For the following questions answer them individually

Question 121

Read the given passage and answer the question that follows.
Access to material wealth does not necessarily mean that one country is out of poverty. A strong economy in a developed nation doesn’t mean much when a significant percentage (even a majority) of the population is struggling to survive.
Which of the following options most logically completes the argument?
True riddance from poverty means:

Video Solution

Solution

The passage discusses how the presence of wealth in a country does not necessarily mean the country is out of poverty. The author's argument is that having a strong economy is meaningless if a significant portion of the population is struggling to survive.

The question asks us to choose a logical conclusion to the passage. We can immediately eliminate options B and C:

- B suggests that the underprivileged should have access to luxury items, which is neither a logical conclusion nor aligns with the author's argument. The author does not imply that providing luxury items to the underprivileged is necessary.
- C suggests that an inflow of money will boost the economy, disregarding the author's point that simply having money in a country does not make it a strong economy or alleviate poverty. The author's main argument is that wealth should be distributed among the people, not concentrated in specific sections.

Option D is also out of context. While political stability and social freedom are beneficial, they are not the focus of the passage. The author is concerned with the financial well-being of the underprivileged as a sign of an improving economy, rather than discussing broader social reforms.

Option A is the best choice. Improving living standards means that the significant population of underprivileged individuals would have better lives and not struggle merely to survive. According to the author, this improvement would be the true sign of a country overcoming poverty.

Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.

Question 122

A train crosses a bridge in 30 seconds at the speed of 72 km/h. If the length of train is 250 m, then what is the length of the bridge?

Video Solution

Solution

Converting the speed of the train from km/hr into m/s, we get $$72\times\ \frac{5}{18}=20$$ m/s

To completely cross the bridge, the train end would have entered from one end, and the end of the train would have to come out, which, we are given, makes 30 seconds.
The total distance covered by the engine of the train int his distance would be the train's length and bridge's length.

$$20\times\ 30=250+$$ Bridge length
Bridge length $$=600-250=350$$ m

Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

Question 123

Read the given information carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The children of Shyam colony are selecting a team to play a cricket match with Vasant colony. Varun is captain of the team of Shyam colony. He wants his team to have two batsmen, two bowlers and two wicketkeepers. Among the players Rohan, Raveena, Sonal and Animesh are batsmen Brijesh, Cynthia and Manish are bowlers. Similarly, Ruby, Bhuvan, Tiya and Yash are wicketkeepers.
Some of the other conditions are as follows:
i) Ruby and Yash will always be selected together.
ii) If Sonal is selected, then neither Manish nor Bhuvan can be selected.
iii) If Raveena is selected, then Bhuvan is definitely selected.
iv) Tiya and Yash can never be selected together.
Which of the following is a possible combination of a team?

Video Solution

Solution

In such questions, instead of writing down all the possible team combinations, we should consider each option individually and see which option does not break any rule and is a valid team composition.

looking at the options,
We can eliminate option B on the basis of rule 1 itself.
Rule 1 says that Ruby and Yash will always be selected together. In option B, we have Yash but not Ruby, so this configuration would not be possible.

We can eliminate option C on the basis of breaking rule 2.
Rule 2 says that if Sonal is selected, neither Manish nor Bhuvan can be selected, yet in option C, we have Sonal and Bhuvan on the same team.

We can eliminate option A on the basis of breaking rule 3.
Rule 3 states that if Raveena is selected, Bhuvan is definitely selected, but in option A, Raveena is selected, and Bhuvan is not selected.

That leaves us with only option D, which would be our answer.

Question 124

Read the given statement and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statement is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statement.
Statement:
Many countries around the globe have either put a ban on the plastic bag or levi tax on it. However, the problem hasn’t been solved completely because the implementation of these measures hasn’t been as successful.
Conclusions:
I. Plastic bags are illegal to use or sell in many countries.
II. The authorities are not strict enough to impose the ban on plastic bags completely.

Video Solution

Solution

The main statement talks about ban/tax on plastic bags and measures not being implemented properly.

Hence, we can safely say that plastic bags are illegal to use at certain places as they are banned in some countries. This makes 1 a valid conclusion.

Further, the lack of implementation of measures show that authorities are not strict enough. This makes 2 a valid conclusion.

Question 125

Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements:
a) All parrots are sparrows.
b) Some eagles are vultures.
c) All vultures are sparrows.
Conclusions:
I. All vultures are parrots.
II. Some parrots are eagles.
III. Only some vultures are sparrows.

Video Solution

Solution

The information in the statements can be represent as follows:

Coming to conclusions:
(1) As we can see, there might be some vultures that are not parrots. Therefore, conclusion 1 is not necessarily true.

(2) "Some parrots are eagles." Although in the diagram, there is an overlapping region between Parrots and Eagles, the region can be empty as well. Therefore, we cannot conclusively say that some parrots are eagles.

(3) This conclusion directly goes against statement c which said that all vultures are sparrows, therefore, this too can be concluded.

None of the conclusions can be reached from the statements.

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

Question 126

Select the number from among the given options that can replace the question mark(?) and complete the pattern.

Video Solution

Solution

Multiplying the opposite numbers in the first diagram we get $$5\times\ 2=10\ \&\ 6\times\ 3=18$$
Adding them, we get the number in between, which is 28

Multiplying the opposite numbers in the second figure, we get $$4\times\ 4=16\ \&\ 3\times\ 8=24$$
Adding them, we get the number in between, which is 40

Similarly, for the third figure, by multiplying the opposite numbers, we get $$6\times\ 4\ =24\ \&\ 6\times\ 5=30$$
Addin them, we should get the number which should come in between, which is 54

Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.

Question 127

Select the number that will come next in the following series.
113, 117, 126, 151, 200, ?

Video Solution

Solution

The difference between the first two numbers is 117-113 = 4
The difference between the third and the second number is 126-117=9
The difference between the fourth and the third number is 151-126=25
The difference between the fifth and the fourth number is 200-151=49

We can see that all the differences are squares of the prime numbers.
The next difference would be the square of the next prime number, $$11^2=121$$
making the sixth number of the series to be 200+121 = 321

Therefore, Option C is the correct answer.

Question 128

Ishaan is standing at a bus stop facing the East. From there he turns right and starts walking for 30 m. Then he turns left and walks 10 m. He again turns left and walk 15 m. What is the shortest distance (approximate) between Ishaan and the starting point?

Video Solution

Solution

Ishan was initially facing east, so when he turned right, he faced south.
Then he walked 30 m south.
The then turned left, facing east, walked 10 m east.
He then finally turned left again, facing north and walked 15m

In essence, he walked 30 m south and 15 m not, making him move 15 m southwards.
And he moved 10 m eastwards.

Givng his net distance from his starting position to be $$\sqrt{\ 225-100}=\sqrt{\ 125}$$, which is slightly more than 11m

Question 129

Read the given information carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The children of Shyam colony are selecting a team to play a cricket match with Vasant colony. Varun is captain of the team of Shyam colony. He wants his team to have two batsmen, two bowlers and two wicketkeepers. Among the players Rohan, Raveena, Sonal and Animesh are batsmen Brijesh, Cynthia and Manish are bowlers. Similarly, Ruby, Bhuvan, Tiya and Yash are wicketkeepers.
Some of the other conditions are as follows:
i) Ruby and Yash will always be selected together.
ii) If Sonal is selected, then neither Manish nor Bhuvan can be selected.
iii) If Raveena is selected, then Bhuvan is definitely selected.
iv) Tiya and Yash can never be selected together.
If Raveena is selected, then who among the following will definitely NOT be selected?

Video Solution

Solution

From statement III in the question, if Raveena is selected, then Bhuvan has to be definitely selected. Given that Raveena is selected, we can say that Bhuvan is also selected.

From statement II, we can see that Sonal can be selected only when none of Manish and Bhuvan are chosen.

We know that Bhuvan is selected. So, Sonal can't be chosen.

Question 130

If it was Wednesday on 1 January 2007, then what was the day of the week on 1 January 2011?

Video Solution

Solution

The number of days in between 1 January 2011 and 1 January 2007 is 1461.

1461%7 = 5. So, if 1 January 2007 is Wednesday then 1 January 2011 is Monday(5 days after Wednesday).
