Question No. : 1
In most people's minds, yawning " that slow, exaggerated mouth opening with the long, deep inhalation of air, followed by a
briefer exhalation " is the most obvious sign of sleepiness. It is a common behaviour shared by many animals, including not only
our pet dogs and cats but also, crocodiles, snakes, birds, and even some fish. It is certainly true that sleepy people tend to yawn
more than wide awake people. It is also true that people who say they are bored by what is happening at the moment will tend to
yawn more frequently. However, whether yawning is a sign that you are getting ready for sleep or that you are successfully
fighting off sleep is not known.
Unfortunately, yawns don't just indicate sleepiness. In some animals, yawning is a sign of stress. When a dog-trainer sees a dog
yawning in a dog obedience class, it is usually a sign that the animal is under a good deal of pressure. Perhaps the handler is
pushing too hard or moving too fast for the dog to feel in control of the situation. A moment or two of play and then turning to
another activity is usually enough to banish yawning for quite a while.
Yawning can also be a sign of stress in humans. Once, when observing airborne troops about to take their first parachute jump, I
noticed that several of the soldiers were sitting in the plane and yawning. It was 10 A.M., just after a coffee break, and I doubted
that they were tired; I knew for a fact that they were far too nervous to be bored. When I asked about this, the officer in charge
laughed and said it was really quite a common behaviour, especially on the first jump.
There is also a social aspect to yawning. Psychologists have placed actors in crowded rooms and auditoriums and had them
deliberately yawn. Within moments, there is usually an increase in yawning by everyone else in the room. Similarly, people who
watch films or videos of others yawning are more likely to yawn. Even just reading about yawning tends to stimulate people to
yawn.
The truth of the matter is that we really don't know what purpose yawning serves. Scientists originally thought that the purpose of
yawning was to increase the amount of oxygen in the blood or to release some accumulated carbon dioxide. We now know that
this is not true, since increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air seems not to increase the likelihood of yawning.
Since yawning seems to be associated with a lot more than the need for sleep, we obviously have to find some other measure of
sleepiness. Some researchers have simply tried to ask people how sleepy they feel at any time using some sort of self rating scale.
There are, however, problems with getting people to make these types of judgments. Sometimes people simply lie to the
researchers when asked about how sleepy they are. This occurs because in many areas of society admitting that one is fatigued
and sleepy is considered a mark of weakness or lack of ambition and drive. In other instances, people may admit they need four
cups of coffee to make it through the morning, but it may never occur to them that this might be due to the fact that they are so
sleepy that they need stimulation from caffeine to be able to do their required tasks. For these reasons, many researchers have
developed an alternate method to determine how sleepy a person is. It is based upon a simple definition of sleep need: The greater
your sleep need, or the sleepier you are, the faster you will fall asleep if given the opportunity to do so.
What is the primary purpose of the passage?

Question No. : 4
If the man to perpetuate whose memory we have this day raised a statue had been asked on what part of his busy life's work he
set the highest value, he would undoubtedly have pointed to his voluminous contributions to theology. In season and out of
season, he was the steadfast champion of that hypothesis respecting the Divine nature which is termed Unitarianism by its friends
and Socinianism by its foes. Regardless of odds, he was ready to do battle with all comers in that cause; and if no adversaries
entered the lists, he would sally forth to seek them.
To this, his highest ideal of duty, Joseph Priestley sacrificed the vulgar prizes of life, which, assuredly, were within easy reach of a
man of his singular energy and varied abilities. For this object he put aside, as of secondary importance, those scientific
investigations which he loved so well, and in which he showed himself so competent to enlarge the boundaries of natural
knowledge and to win fame. In this cause he not only cheerfully suffered obloquy from the bigoted and the unthinking, and came
within sight of martyrdom; but bore with that which is much harder to be borne than all these, the unfeigned astonishment and
hardly disguised contempt of a brilliant society, composed of men whose sympathy and esteem must have been most dear to him,
and to whom it was simply incomprehensible that a philosopher should seriously occupy himself with any form of Christianity.
It appears to me that the man who, setting before himself such an ideal of life, acted up to it consistently, is worthy of the deepest
respect, whatever opinion may be entertained as to the real value of the tenets which he so zealously propagated and defended.
But I am sure that I speak not only for myself, but for all this assemblage, when I say that our purpose to-day is to do honour, not
to Priestley, the Unitarian divine, but to Priestley, the fearless defender of rational freedom in thought and in action: to Priestley,
the philosophic thinker; to that Priestley who held a foremost place among "the swift runners who hand over the lamp of life," and
transmit from one generation to another the fire kindled, in the childhood of the world, at the Promethean altar of Science.
The main incidents of Priestley's life are so well known that I need dwell upon them at no great length. Born in 1733, at Fieldhead,
near Leeds, and brought up among Calvinists of the straitest orthodoxy, the boy's striking natural ability led to his being devoted
to the profession of a minister of religion; and, in 1752, he was sent to the Dissenting Academy at Daventry--an institution which
authority left undisturbed, though its existence contravened the law. The teachers under whose instruction and influence the
young man came at Daventry, carried out to the letter the injunction to "try all things: hold fast that which is good," and
encouraged the discussion of every imaginable proposition with complete freedom, the leading professors taking opposite sides; a
discipline which, admirable as it may be from a purely scientific point of view, would seem to be calculated to make acute, rather
than sound, divines. Priestley tells us, in his "Autobiography," that he generally found himself on the unorthodox side: and, as he
grew older, and his faculties attained their maturity, this native tendency towards heterodoxy grew with his growth and
strengthened with his strength. He passed from Calvinism to Arianism; and finally, in middle life, landed in that very broad form of
Unitarianism by which his craving after a credible and consistent theory of things was satisfied.
What can be inferred from the passage about the early life of Priestly?
A)It had an deep and incongruous impact on the thinking of the boy and this had a significant contribution in his later life
B)Priestley was driven by early childhood experiences and these were the bedrock upon his Unitarian thoughts were based
C)Priestley's exposure in his formative years to unorthodox ways had a contributory role to play in the overall formation of his
thoughts

1. In the Jind district in northern India, where there are only 871 women per 1,000 men, bachelors have formed a union to
pressure political leaders to supply them with brides.
2. A simplistic view of supply and demand may suggest that a shortage of girls will increase their social and economic value.
3. A study in India showed that a low female-to-male ratio leads to lowering the age of brides, decreasing their educational
attainment and participation in the workforce, and increasing the age gap between them and their husbandsall factors
correlated with higher domestic violence.
4. But rather than granting more power to the fewer marriageable women, societies slanted in males favour respond by acquiring
more brides, to expand the marriage market.
5. Communities are starting to show the strain caused by such gender imbalance.

Question No. : 11
1. The majority of those who reject human laws and proclaim their liberty and their decision to live their own life do so only in
obedience to the most ordinary vital movements which they disguise and try to justify, if not to their own eyes, at least to the eyes
of others.
2. The child can be taught, as he grows up, the relativity of all moral and social laws so that he may find in himself a higher and
truer law.
3. To give a moral law to a child is evidently not an ideal thing; but it is very difficult to do without it.

Question No. : 12
It is to the social factors that we must chiefly attribute the periodic variations of criminality. For even the variations which can be
detected in certain anthropological factors, like the influences of age and sex upon crime, and the more or less marked outbreak of
anti-social and pathological tendencies, depend in their turn upon social factors, such as the protection accorded to abandoned
infants, the participation of women in non-domestic, commercial and industrial life, preventive and repressive measures, and the
like. And again, since the social factors have special import in occasional crime, and crime by acquired habit, and since these are
the most numerous sections of crime as a whole, it is clear that the periodic movement of crime must be attributed in the main to
the social factors.
1. Periodic movement of crime cannot be attributed to anthropological factors.

2. A significant segment of the periodic movement of crime cannot be attributed to social factors.
3. A certain segment of the periodic movement of crime can be attributed to social factors.
4. A significant part of the periodic movement of crime can be attributed to social factors.

Question No. : 13
To get a better understanding of how graffiti culture came to be what it is today, one first needs to step back and look over the
basic elements of hip-hop culture, elements that may have been overlooked because of the diversity that it has today.
Research has shown that the identity of a person is a direct consequence of heredity and environment. From birth, a person does
not choose the path they'll lead, but instead is guided in one direction or the other through socialization that has been dictated by
opportunities around them.
The people who first began the hip-hop movement were at the bottom of the socio-economic pyramid. Graffiti is an indirect result
and a modern response to the class struggle in America that has been going on for generations.
In a class system, one naturally wants to move to the top and maintain that position. A majority of people born into a free-market
society are indoctrinated with capitalistic values, and to them it is seen as a positive and constructive thing to gain wealth and
maintain vast amounts of capital that will extend beyond that person or society's lifetime.
Unfortunately, urban lower-class youth are often completely disenfranchised from any opportunities to move up the ladder and
attain wealth. Constant struggle to just meet basic needs encourages them to spend their free time (and money) doing things that
are entertaining and not necessarily constructive.
Luckily the instinct to remain alive that each person has cannot be dismantled so easily. Although older people who have been
locked into these situations for a long period of time may grow apathetic and find such forms of expression meaningless, the
youth have yet to be completely changed by their environment, and can still be influenced by their hereditary survival instinct.
They still want to attain or create something that people will remember them by, something that will keep their message living
beyond the grave.
Rebellion is something that rich youth often take for granted as an alternative to their current way of life, without realizing that
many people who are locked into a certain economic situation are not afforded that alternative without risking further hardship or
even death. Like the story of the forbidden fruit, lower-class youths have been denied these opportunities all their lives, so they
want them even more than the rich do.
These motives can be used to explain the origins of graffiti, but they do not thoroughly define graffiti today, now that it has spread
beyond its original socio-economic barriers. Reiterating the opening point, culture is formed in a very similar way to the way a
person's identity is formed. To this effect, a culture is constantly changing, just like a person. What allowed this change to occur
was creating new and improved technology that allowed different types of people to experience hip-hop culture.
Technological developments in recent years have globalized modern graffiti culture. A quick glance through a graffiti magazine or
gallery will show the viewer artwork from every inhabited continent of the Earth.
Originally, graffiti was more often used for communication rather than the profit. In the circumstances from which graffiti grew,
social messages were often seen as important to incorporate into the artwork. Now that graffiti has been lifted out of its original
context, the message is not emphasized as much. In a sense graffiti has "splintered" into a variety of subcultures that deviate from
its original style.
One such subculture is street advertising. Many multinational corporations have selected graffiti writers to spray their logos and
ad campaigns onto city streets in return for a paycheck. Unfortunately, a conflict arises when graffiti is used for advertising
consumer goods. The use of graffiti to promote a commercial product is bitterly ironic. Graffiti is being used to encourage today's
youth to spend their hard-earned money on products they don't necessarily need.
Why does the author say that the use of graffiti to promote a commercial product is bitterly ironic?
A)Graffiti was initially associated with people who were at the bottom of the socio-economic pyramid, while now even the elite
have taken interest in it
B)Graffiti is being used to encourage the stratification of society, although it was originally created to break free of those very
chains that were interfering with quality of life
C)Ingrained deep into the roots of graffiti is a loud and clear message that the middle class and not the lower class deserves as
much respect and equality as does the upper-class
D)Many multinational corporations have selected graffiti writers to spray their logos and ad campaigns onto city streets in
return for a paycheck

B)People with money can put up signs ... if you don't have money you're marginalized...you're not allowed to express yourself
or to put up words or messages that you think other people should see
C)To pour your soul onto a wall and be able to step back and see your fears, your hopes, your dreams, your weaknesses, really
gives you a deeper understanding of yourself and your own mental state

1. If this difference between aspiration and emotion, between the true light and the perturbations produced in the individual by
that light, be kept in mind, and the closer consonance of philosophy with aspiration, the relation of Theosophy to Mysticism can be
more clearly apprehended.
2. Aspiration differs widely from emotion and yet is equally akin to devotion, and when once centred in the soul is less liable to
transitions and oscillations and is nearer related to philosophy.
3. It is only through the establishment of a perfect equilibrium between faith and reason that the Divine Life and the Divine
Wisdom can become manifest in man; Faith without reason becomes fanaticism; reason divorced from faith becomes sordid
materialism, and while prating of order and law begets anarchy.
4. Another point should also be held clearly in view, viz.: the philosophical relation between Faith and Reason; between the
existence, immutability, and beneficence of the Divine Life, and the orderly sequence of its manifestation, and apprehension by the
mind of man.
5. Meditation or contemplation may coexist with either the emotional or aspirational nature, and both mystic and theosophist
recognize the Divine Unity and aim at the union of the human with the divine.

DIRECTIONS for the question: The passages given below are followed by a set of question. Choose the most appropriate answer to each
question.
I do not pretend that the development of trust in leadership is a science or something that may be perfected " far from it. And I am not suggesting that
the development of genuine humility, and finally trust, in leadership is by any means easy. It is the hardest thing the human creature called man can do.
Anyone suggesting that he is, in fact, a person or leader of humility, moves farther from it.
Warren Bennis argues that leaders rarely fail because of technical incompetence. Instead, where leaders predominantly fail is weakness on the softer
issues such as people skills, taste, judgment, and above all, character.
The most compelling leaders lead and keep their trust when they start with a proper view of themselves. By embracing this essential humility, leaders
will not only influence and lead, but will transform the lives of those around them, reproducing leadership in others. This essence is what Professor
Lewis would have referred to as 'mereness'.
Applied to leadership, this mereness occurs, first, when leaders develop a core understanding of their humanity; second, when they understand their
depraved nature; and third, when leaders finally grasp that the purpose of leadership is not leadership itself. When this mereness is revealed in leaders,
they build trust. This, is turn, properly allows them to serve others.
Whether you hold a materialistic view of the universe (that matter and space have always existed and nobody know why) or the theistic view (that
there is something behind the universe that has a mind and a conscious purpose) we are in fact alike. Nothing like stating the obvious, but it must be
stated in leadership. It is the foundation.
Even Sigmund Freud, who rejected a theistic view of the universe in favour of a materialistic or scientific one, still seemed to acknowledge some kind
of unexplainable force in the universe. Freud experienced 'strange, secret longings' that he described as sechsucht. C.S. Lewis characterized his
sechsucht as an unsatisfied desire which is itself more desirable than any other satisfaction.
Whether we are born in poverty or into wealth; whether we are born in Beverly Hills or in Calcutta; whether we are born with disabilities or not;
whether we are born white, yellow, brown, or black; we are, in terms of these longings, and our human nature, intrinsically alike.
In terms of pain " regardless of our backgrounds, lifestyles, and worldviews " we all have, like the apostle Paul, a thorn somewhere in our flesh. While
some acknowledge those thorns, others bury them deep within their souls not only to conceal them from others, but also to pretend that they do not
exist. Do not deny for a minute that they are not real. We are the creatures called man.
Moreover, there are certain decent moral behaviours to which we all adhere. There are, in fact, laws of decent behaviour that without formal moral or
religious instruction ought to naturally govern our behaviour.
Men have differed as regards what people who ought to be unselfish to "whether it was your family, or your fellow countrymen, or everyone, wrote
Lewis. But they have always agreed that you ought not to put yourself first. Selfishness has never been admired.
Look at the corporate life: one of the common business practices over the last decade has been to manipulate accounting rules in order to maximize
the earnings of public companies. Enron's former treasurer Jeffrey McMahon declared that Enron decided to obey only the accounting rules that got
them the results they wanted. Inherent in his argument is the insinuation that rules may have been broken, but until he is caught or told otherwise, he
will continue to practice.
While other energy companies also practised such accounting, it didn't make Enron's use of mark to market, and other creative accounting gimmicks
(such as hiding debt in special-purpose entities), any more correct. Some of the blame for the corporate fraud of the 90s must be placed at the feet of
regulators who made changes in the method of accounting standards, the culture of Wall Street that demanded aggressive earnings growth, and
executives whose compensation targets were tied to the price of their own personal options.
Blame could be spread far and wide, but the fact remains that at some point some leader (not accounting rule) had to make a conscious decision to
inflate earnings. Whether other competitors were doing it or not or whether the accounting standards were loose enough to enable them, most leaders
knew such actions were questionable, if not outright wrong.

Feudalism represents a change from the ancient form of imperialism to the newer forms of European government. It arose out of
the ruins of the Roman system as an essential form of social order. It appears to be the only system fitted to bring order out of the
chaotic conditions of society, but by the very nature of affairs it could not long continue as an established system. It is rather
surprising, indeed, that it became so universal, for every territory in Europe was subjected to its control in a greater or less degree.
Frequently those who were forced to adopt its form condemned its principle, and those who sought to maintain the doctrine of
Roman imperialism were subjected to its sway. The church itself, seeking to maintain its autocracy, came into direct contact with
feudal theory and opposed it bitterly. The people who submitted to the yoke of personal bondage which it entailed hated the
system. Yet the whole European world passed under feudalism. But notwithstanding its universality, feudalism could offer nothing
permanent, for in the development of social order it was forced to yield to monarchy, although it made a lasting influence on
social life and political and economic usage. (key in your answer option)
1. Feudalism, though extensively used in Europe to varying degrees of success, eventually outlives its usefulness and was replaced
by monarchy.
2. What feudalism did to the ancient form of imperialism was done to it by monarchy, when it no longer could offer the benefits it
once promised.
3. Feudalism, begrudgingly accepted by many parts of the European society, finally outlived its usefulness and found itself
replaced by monarchy despite of its positives and near universal application in Europe.
4. Feudalism, accepted by some and resented by some others, took over Europe in a universal way before it found itself replaced
by monarchy in a way similar to the one it which it replaced imperialism.

For centuries, philosophers have been using moral intuitions to reason about ethics. Today, some scientists think theyve found a
way to use psychology and neuroscience to undermine many of these intuitions and advance better moral arguments of their
own. If these scientists are right, philosophers need to leave the armchair and head to the lab or go into retirement.

The thing is, theyre wrong. There are certainly problems with the way philosophers use intuitions in ethics, but the real challenge
to moral intuitions comes from philosophy, not from science.
How do ethicists use intuitions? To assess whether a moral theory is true, philosophers formulate cases that call for particular
moral choices and ask which choice seems, intuitively, like the right one. When the choice that seems right is the choice the theory
calls for, this is a reason to accept the theory. If it seems like the right choice is one the theory doesnt endorse (or even
condemns), thats a reason to reject the theory.
The trolley problem is the best, most ubiquitous example of this kind of philosophy. Philosophers have invited readers to imagine
that a trolley is speeding down a track. Unimpeded, the trolley will hit five people ahead of it, killing them, but an innocent person
nearby could stop it. In one version, she could stop the trolley and save the five people by pulling a lever to divert it to another
track, but this would kill one person who happens to be on that track. In another, she can only stop the trolley from killing the five
by pushing someone off a bridge into the trolleys path. Whatever the details, the moral question is what the person should do.
Ethicists will then cite peoples intuitions about the problem as evidence in the debate between the two most popular types of
moral theories, consequentialist and deontological. Consequentialist moral theories hold that whats right is a function of whats
good: the right thing to do is whatever would produce the best consequences. In contrast, deontological moral theories hold that
the right has priority over the good: it could well be wrong to perform the action that has the best consequences when that
action breaks the moral rules. In trolley cases, consequentialists typically say that you should be willing to kill one to save five, but
deontologists say that you shouldnt.
In the past few years, scientists have argued that there is a fatal problem with this approach. Recent research, they say, suggests
that many of our moral intuitions come from neural processes responsive to morally irrelevant factors and hence are unlikely to
track the moral truth.
The psychologist Joshua Greene at Harvard led studies that asked subjects to decide whether a particular action in a hypothetical
case was appropriate or not. He found that typically, when responding to cases in which the agent harms someone personally (say,
trolley cases in which the agent pushes an innocent bystander over a bridge to stop the trolley from killing five other people), the
subjects showed more brain activity in regions associated with emotions than when responding to cases in which the agent
harmed someone relatively impersonally (like trolley cases in which the agent diverts the trolley to a track on which it will kill one
innocent bystander to stop the trolley from killing five other people). They also found that the minority of subjects who said the
agent acted appropriately in doing harm in the personal cases took longer to give this verdict, and experienced greater brain
activity in regions associated with reasoning than the majority who said otherwise.
According to Greene, this indicates that our moral intuitions in favour of deontological verdicts about cases that you should not
harm one to save five are generated by more emotional brain processes responding to morally irrelevant factors, such as
whether you cause the harm directly, up close and personal, or indirectly. And our moral intuitions in favour of consequentialist
verdicts that you should harm one to save five are generated by more rational processes responsive to morally relevant
factors, such as how much harm is done for how much good.
As a result, we should apparently be suspicious of deontological intuitions and deferential to our consequentialist intuitions. This
research thereby also provides evidence for a particular moral theory: consequentialism.
Greenes results, however, dont offer any scientific support for consequentialism. Nor do they say anything philosophically
significant about moral intuitions. The philosopher Selim Berker at Harvard has offered a decisive argument why. Greenes
argument just assumes that the factors that make a case personal the factors that engage relatively emotional brain processes
and typically lead to deontological intuitions are morally irrelevant. He also assumes that the factors the brain responds to in the
relatively impersonal cases the factors that engage reasoning capacities and yield consequentialist intuitions are morally
relevant. But these assumptions are themselves moral intuitions of precisely the kind that the argument is supposed to challenge.

The Medical Association conducted a research on the nutrient retention and utilization in the people. The research indicates that
out of a total body weight gain in a week for a particular person, the contribution of fats is 12%, proteins contribute 6% and
minerals contribute 2% to body weight gain. Based on this, a quick diet plan was created, the result of which was the Diet Chart. It
had all the protein, mineral and fat requirement of the body for a week. (Exactly 70% of body weight gain was due to
carbohydrates but it wasnt included in the making of the Diet Chart)
For the next week, the research was continued; except for the change that Diet Chart was introduced in the diet plan of the
patients. The five patients (M, N, O, P and R) on which the new study was conducted now show the follow result:

QNo:-1,Correct Answer:-C
Explanation:-
The author starts the passage saying that most people feel that yawning is the most obvious example of sleepiness. Then he goes
on to say that boredom and stress also induce yawns. In the last paragraph, he states that since yawning is associated with a lot
more things than denoting sleep, we need to find some other measure of sleepiness. He also concludes the passage stating that
some researchers have developed an alternate method of determining how sleepy a person is. Though option is true it is not the
primary purpose of the passage. Option 2 is incorrect because the author states that yawning indicates much more than
sleepiness, it indicates boredom and stress too.
QNo:-2,Correct Answer:-D
Explanation:-
The author is not evaluating the earlier paragraphs. He is in a way summarising the findings and then taking the discussion
forward. Hence option 2 is incorrect. Option 1 is incorrect as the author is continuing on the topic of yawning. Drawback is stated
and concluded in second last paragraph itself therefore, option 3 is also rejected.
Explanation:-
Anecdote : A short and amusing or interesting story about a real incident or person.The anecdote is the incident of the soldiers
who are to take their first parachute jump. Illustration is material used to clarify or explain " dog training and people in crowded
places. (dogs yawn when stressed. People yawn in crowded places because of the social aspect " the power of suggestion).
Comparison is between animals and human beings " both yawn. So it is clear that he is not making an understatement by trying
to find out the reasons behind 'yawning' from different perspectives.
Explanation:-
Option 1 is incorrect on two counts: 'incongruous' does not fit in the given context and we cannot say that Priestley's early life had
a significant impact on him.
Option 2 is again rejected as it is too strong an option.
Option 3 is correct as it aptly mentions that his childhood experience had a contributory role, something which cannot be denied.
Option 4 is incorrect as the passage does not mention that Priestley took up any dedicated early work in unorthodox ways
Explanation:-
Refer to the following lines: In season and out of season, he was the steadfast champion of that hypothesis respecting the Divine
nature which is termed Unitarianism by its friends and Socinianism by its foes. Regardless of odds, he was ready to do battle with
all comers in that cause; and if no adversaries entered the lists, he would sally forth to seek them.
From these lines, it can clearly be seen that one thing that can be said about the work of Priestley is that it was widely debated (it
had its supporters and its opponents). Considering thing, we find option 4 the apt answer for the given question. None of the other
options can be conclusively proven in the given context. Option 1 essentially means that his views were objective (which means
factual) in nature. This is something we cannot conclude in the given context.
QNo:-6,Correct Answer:-B
Explanation:-
One simple question for you: can you provide a one line summary for the passage? What exactly is the author of the passage
doing in the passage? In this passage, he highlights the positives of Priestley and goes on to explain how he deserves to be
remembered and honoured. Considering this, option 2 is the best answer in the given case.
Explanation:-
The inference in this question has to be derived from a combination of lines extracted from the passage: In season and out of
and Socinianism by its foes...and to whom it was simply incomprehensible that a philosopher should seriously occupy himself with
any form of Christianity...But I am sure that I speak not only for myself, but for all this assemblage, when I say that our purpose to-
day is to do honour, not to Priestley, the Unitarian divine, but to Priestley, the fearless defender of rational freedom in thought and
in action.
Unitarianism is defined as the Christian doctrine that stresses individual freedom of belief and rejects the Trinity.
The one good thing in the question is that each option is related to Christianity and this means our answer is related to this topic
as well. From the context, we can see that option 3 is the best fit in the given case.
Explanation:-
The answer can be derived by understanding the meaning of the word Promethean.
Promethean means daringly original; boldly inventive or creative, inspiring. In the given context, we can see that option 3 is the
best answer.
Explanation:-
In the given passage, the author clearly states that he does not necessarily agree with the ideas of Joseph Priestley but he does
appreciate the person and his passion. Considering this, option 4 is the best answer. Remember, we need to reject the options
which talk about the ideas/doctrines of Joseph Priestley and select an option that focuses on Joseph Priestley the person.
QNo:-10,Correct Answer:-32451
Explanation:- The passage is talking about the what happens when there are shortage of girls in a society. Though one feels that
the shortage will increase the girls social and economical value, the male favoured society instead calls for more brides to expand
the market. Communities feel the strain and the example of the Jind district illustrates that. 3 gives the effect of getting more
brides as the age get lowered the negative effects manifest into the form of domestic violence
Explanation:- The paragraph talks about giving a moral law to the child and teaching the child the relativity of moral and social
laws. Then it moves on to tell us why people reject human laws and proclaim their liberty.
Explanation:-
In the given context, we can clearly see that the author attributes the periodic movement of crime mainly to social factors. Refer to
the last line: And again, since the social factors have special import in occasional crime, and crime by acquired habit, and since
these are the most numerous sections of crime as a whole, it is clear that the periodic movement of crime must be attributed in the
main to the social factors.
This clearly means that option 4 is the correct answer here.
Explanation:-
The passage states that graffiti came into existence because the have-nots wanted to be the haves. That is they wanted the rich
and poor divide to be reduced. Using graffiti for commercial products actually is now creating a division as those who do not have
the money to buy these products will be frustrated and the feelings of resentment will increase. Also people would be made to buy
products which they may not need.
Option 1- If graffiti is now appreciated by lower and upper groups then the divide would decrease
Option 3 Graffiti was associated with the lower income group and not the middle class
Option 4 - This does not reflect any irony in the sense the question asks. What the question means is that the reason why Graffiti
came into existence is rebuffed by making it a medium of advertisements.
Explanation:-
In the circumstances from which graffiti grew, social messages were often seen as important to incorporate into the artwork. It
was a medium which was used to voice the frustrations and resentment of the common man and to generate some sort of social
issue. This option is the only one which speaks the opposite in that it states that why do people want to vent their feelings publicly.
Explanation:-
The passage states that even the rich youth are taking to Graffiti.
Option 1 the multinational corporations are paying money to Graffiti artists
Option 2 In a sense graffiti has "splintered" into a variety of subcultures that deviate from its original style. One such subculture
is street advertising.
Option 3 Technological developments .. graffiti magazine or gallery will show the viewer artwork from every inhabited
continent of the Earth.
Explanation:-
The passage states that Graffiti artists want to attain or create something that people will remember them by, something that will
keep their message living beyond the grave.
Option 1 and Option 2 - Graffiti is an indirect result and a modern response to the class struggle in America that has been going
on for generations.
Option 3 - Unfortunately, a conflict arises when graffiti is used for advertising consumer goods. Hence this is true.
QNo:-17,Correct Answer:-A
Explanation:-
refer lines - Like the story of the forbidden fruit, lower-class youths have been denied these opportunities all their lives, so they
want them even more than the rich do. in this case forbidden fruits refers to the oppurtunities denied to the lower class youths,
and these oppurtunities are extremely tempting for the lower class youth. thus the answer is option 1.
Explanation:-
Statement I can be derived from the lines: In a class system, one naturally wants to move to the top and maintain that position.
Statement II can be derived from the lines: Although older people who have been locked into these situations for a long period of
time may grow apathetic and find such forms of expression meaningless, the youth have yet to be completely changed by their
environment, and can still be influenced by their hereditary survival instinct.
Statement III can be derived from the lines: Rebellion is something that rich youth often take for granted as an alternative to their
current way of life, without realizing that many people who are locked into a certain economic situation are not afforded that
alternative without risking further hardship or even death.
Explanation:- The paragraph talks about aspiration and emotion. The opener will be 2 as it introduces 'aspirations are different
from emotions yet similar to 'devotion'.After this 5 will come as it tells what aids aspirational nature' i.e. meditation &
contemplation. We can understand that 4 and 3 are talking about the Faith and Reason. Hence 43 should be together.
Explanation:-
In this case, statement 4 introduces the subject of the jumbled paragraph, concordances (lists of all the words appearing in a given
text) in reference works. Statement 3 then takes this forward by illustrating the use of reference works. Statement 1 then further
explains what role can be played by reference works and then statement 2 completes the given sequence of information.
Explanation:-
Option 4. The author initially says that humility is one of the important factors on which successful leadership depends as leaders
are able to serve others properly. He then goes on to talk about decent moral behaviours and by giving the example of Enron says
that systems and rules cannot be apportioned blame as ultimately it is a person taking them.
Explanation:-
Option 2. The author states that Jeffery insinuated that if not caught malpractices were okay. The author does not agree to this
and he says that it is leaders who made decisions to inflate earnings and hence the system cannot be held at ransom. The author
does not state the example of Jeffrey to state that the Enron corporation was being made a scapegoat when all others we doing
the same. Wall Street culture demanded aggressive earnings growth but that didn't mean it was mandatory i.e. absolutely
necessary. The author does not agree with option 4.
Explanation:-
Option 4. The author terms mereness as a quality which leaders need to transform the lives of those around them.
Hence a leader who is servile i.e. having a slave like or submissive disposition is hardly going to be able to lead.
Explanation:-
Option 3 is the perfect choice here as it essentially covers all the aspects of paragraph (which is the job of the summary).
Option 4, though partially correct, uses the incorrect logic when it says "itself replaced by monarch in a way similar to the one it
which it replaced imperialism." There is no evidence in the passage that the way in which monarchy replaced feudalism was
similar to the way in which feudalism replaced imperialism. Option 2 is ruled out on similar grounds.
Option 1 is ruled out as the degrees of success of feudalism find no mention in the passage.
Explanation:-
Statements 4-1-3 form the set of connected statements (in that order). Statement 2 is clearly the odd one out as it introduces a
point about the future, something which does not concern the other three statements in the given case.
Explanation:-
In the given case, statements 4-1-2 form the set of connected statements. These are linked by the common subject of imagination
and human history. Statement 3 is the odd one out here as it shifts the focus on Harari and discusses something which is absent
from the other three statements.
Explanation:- Ubiquitous means 'being present everywhere atonce'. In the given context, the author of the passage has used the
given word to imply that this is the universal or common example for the given situation. Keeping this in mind, we see that option
2 is the best answer in the given case.
Explanation:- The answer to this question can be derived from the lines: Consequentialist moral theories hold that what's right is
a function of what's good: the right thing to do is whatever would produce the best consequences...In trolley cases,
consequentialists typically say that you should be willing to kill one to save five, but deontologists say that you shouldn't.
Remember, the costs will be minimum in all cases.
Explanation:- Let us look at the meanings of the various options to identify the correct answer.
Specious reasoning: Seemingly well-reasoned, plausible or true, but actually fallacious. This idea that we must see through what
we have started is specious, however good it may sound.
Circular reasoning: Circular reasoning (Latin: circulus in probando, "circle in proving"; also known as circular logic) is a logical
fallacy in which the reasoner begins with what they are trying to end with.
Ad hominem:.
(of an argument or reaction) directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining.
Butterfly logic: A makes me think of B, so B causes A. Or vice versa.

What seems to be connected is connected. Connection implies causality, with the earlier event being the sole cause.
We can see that option 2 is the best answer in the given case.
Explanation:- The answer can be directly derived from the lines: And our moral intuitions in favour of consequentialist verdicts "
that you should harm one to save five " are generated by more rational processes responsive to morally relevant factors, such as
how much harm is done for how much good.
Explanation:- This is an easy question. The answer can be directly derived from the lines: Greene's results, however, don't offer
any scientific support for consequentialism. Nor do they say anything philosophically significant about moral intuitions.
Explanation:- 'Enfant terrible' means 'a person whose unconventional behaviour embarrasses others'. Clearly, option 3 is an
illogical choice built to confuse you.
Options 1 and 2 go against the primary argument of the author of the passage.
Option 4 is the best choice in the given case.
Explanation:-
Notice carefully the words many professionals in line 1, which are taken up very well by professionals include.. in line 3, thereby
giving us a logical pair 1-3. Naturally, these lines ought to be followed by line 4, which talks of what the professionals work is all
about 1-3-4.
The pair 5-2 is an undeniable combination wherein the conditions for working with professionals are talked about. While line 5
speaks about these conditions in general, line 2 talks about these things in very specific details 13452.
Explanation:-
In the given case, statements 3-1-2 form the pair of connected statements that revolve around the sentiment of dismissal of
workers and how it should be treated. Statement 4 introduces a term for the same, rightsizing, something which is missing from
the discussion in the other three statements. This makes option 4 the correct answer in the given case.
Explanation:-
We know that Geometry will always be scheduled as the fifth session.
Since Number Systems is scheduled before Algebra, this session can be scheduled as the first, second or the third session.
Corresponding to this, Algebra can be scheduled as the second, third or fourth session.
The remaining two sessions will be Ratios and Percentages, with Ratios scheduled before Percentages.
We can then plot all the possibilities as below:
Session
1 2 3 4 5
Num Alg Ratios Per Geom
Num Ratios Alg Per Geom
Num Ratios Per Alg Geom
Ratios Num Alg Per Geom
Ratios Num Per Alg Geom
Ratios Per Num Alg Geom
From the above table, we can see that the sessions can be scheduled as shown in option 1.
Explanation:-
We know that Geometry will always be scheduled as the fifth session.
Since Number Systems is scheduled before Algebra, this session can be scheduled as the first, second or the third session.
Corresponding to this, Algebra can be scheduled as the second, third or fourth session.
The remaining two sessions will be Ratios and Percentages, with Ratios scheduled before Percentages.
We can then plot all the possibilities as below:
Session
1 2 3 4 5
Num Alg Ratios Per Geom
Num Ratios Alg Per Geom
Num Ratios Per Alg Geom
Ratios Num Alg Per Geom
Ratios Num Per Alg Geom
Ratios Per Num Alg Geom
Based on the above table, we see that Number Systems could be scheduled as the second session.
Explanation:-
Cleaning and shopping are completed as two consecutive chores.
Car servicing is completed before painting, which is completed before cleaning and shopping.
Since washing is completed before car servicing, and is immediately preceded or followed by gardening, we can consider two
different orders in which the six chores were completed as
gardening, washing, car servicing, painting, cleaning, shopping OR
washing, gardening, car servicing, painting, cleaning, shopping.
Thus cleaning will always be the fifth chore to be completed.
Explanation:-
The third condition states that washing has to be completed before car servicing.
Since washing and gardening are consecutive chores, we know that gardening must also be completed before car servicing.
Thus option 2 can replace the third condition without changing the order in which chores are to be completed.
Explanation:-
If GoEngg and GetEngg adopt strategies GXI and NXI respectively, then GoEngg will have 360 more students in each of the
training programmes as compared to GetEngg.
So the difference in fees collected for the two programmes is 360(150,000 + 80,000) = 8.28 crores.
Explanation:-
The difference in fees collected is on account of the difference in the number of students for each of the programmes.
If GoEngg employs strategy GXII, the difference in the number of students for each programme is 420.
So the difference in fees collected will be 420 (150,000 + 80,000) = 9.66 crores.
If GoEngg employs strategy GXI, the difference in the number of students for each programme is 360.
If GoEngg employs strategy NXI, the difference in the number of students for each programme is 480.
Since this value is greater than 10 crores, the correct answer is option 3.
Explanation:-
If both institutes employ strategy NXI, then GoEngg will have 420 more students in each of the programmes than GetEngg.
Since there are 4000 XI grade students, 2210 of these will join GoEngg and the remaining 1790 will join GetEngg.
Since there are 5000 XII grade students, 2710 of these will join GoEngg wihle the remaining 2290 will join GetEngg.
Since profit is calculated as the difference between fees and the cost per student enrolled, we can make the following table.

GoEngg GetEngg
XI grade XII grade XI grade XII grade
Fee/student 150,000 80,000 150,000 80,000
Cost/student 50,000 50,000 52,000 52,000
Profit/student 100,000 30,000 98,000 28,000
No. of
2210 2710 1790 2290
Students
Total Profit 22.1 cr 8.13 cr 17.542 cr 6.412 cr
Thus the difference in profits is 22.1 + 8.13 17.542 6.412 = 6.276 crores.
Explanation:-
The cost per student for GetEngg associated with the strategies SXI, GXI, NXI, GXII and NXII are 40,000, 45,000, 52,000,
50,000 and 36,000 respectively.
Based on these strategies, the profit per student from XI grade will be 110,000, 105,000, 98,000, 100,000 and 114,000
respectively, and the profit per student from XII grade will be 40,000, 35,000, 28,000, 30,000 and 44,000 respectively.
Based on the given data, we can calculate the number of students of XI grade and XII grade enrolled with GetEngg and make the
following table.

GetEngg
XI Grade XII Grade
Total Profit
No. P/student Total Profit No. P/student Total Profit
SXI 1775 110,000 19.525 cr 2275 40,000 9.1 cr 28.625 cr
GXI 2180 105,000 22.89 cr 2680 35,000 9.38 cr 32.27 cr
NXI 1790 98,000 17.542 cr 2290 28,000 6.412 cr 23.954 cr
GXII 2240 100,000 22.4 cr 2740 30,000 8.22 cr 30.62 cr
NXII 1840 114,000 20.976 cr 2340 44,000 10.296 cr 31.272 cr

Thus GetEngg must employ strategy GXI in order to maximize profits.
The best answer is option 4.
Explanation:-
Given that saving is Rs. 25000
So, total saving of women = Rs. 9375
Let saving of Chameli be X
Then, saving of Chanda = 1.4X, saving of Shilpa = 5/3rd of 1.4X and savings of Radha = 1.4X + 175
So, X + 1.4X + 5/3rd of 1.4X + 1.4X + 175 = 9375
So, X = 1500
So, savings of Chameli = Rs. 1500, savings of Chanda = Rs. 2100, savings of Shilpa is Rs. 3500 and Savings of Radha = Rs. 2275.
Now from information from the savings of husbands following table can be prepared:
Chanda Chameli Shilpa Radha

(Rs. 2100) (Rs. 1500) (Rs. 3500) (Rs. 2275)

We also know that the sum of savings of husbands = 5/8th of Rs. 25000 = Rs. 15625.
On seeing the table, we can conclude that Rajan and Shilpa cannot be the couple, as in that case the total savings of husbands
would definitely be greater than Rs. 15625.
Similarly, Sohan and Shilpa cannot be the couple as combination will not fit in to make the total of Rs. 15625.
Also, Mohan and Rohan cannot be husband of Radha, because in that case the total savings cannot be an integral value.
So, from the remaining, on checking we get the diagonal combination in the above table, i.e. Rajan Chanda, Mohan Chameli,
Rohan Shilpa and Sohan Radha are the correct combinations of couples with savings of husband amounting to a total of Rs.
15625.
As per the above data , Radha is Sohans wife.
Explanation:-
So, X + 1.4X + 5/3rd of 1.4X + 1.4X + 175 = 9375
So, X = 1500

Shiplas saving = Rs. 3500
Her husband Rohans saving = Rs. 4375
So, total saving = Rs. 3500 + Rs. 4375 = Rs. 7875.
Explanation:-

So, from the remaining, on checking we get the diagonal combination in the above table, i.e. Rajan " Chanda, Mohan " Chameli,
Rohan " Shilpa and Sohan " Radha are the correct combinations of couples with savings of husband amounting to a total of Rs.
15625.
Rajans wife was Chanda and her savings were Rs. 2100
Mohans savings = Rs. 400
So, total savings = Rs. 2100 + Rs. 400 = Rs. 2500
Explanation:-
Consider the Venn diagram below.
Let the number of boys studying both French and German be x, the number of girls studying both French and German be 2x, the
number of boys studying both German and Spanish be y and the number of girls studying both German and Spanish be 2y. Since
the number of students studying both French and German is the same as the number of students studying both German and
Spanish, we have 3x = 3y or x = y. It is also given that the total number of students studying exactly 2 of the 3 languages is 12. So,
3x + 3y = 6x = 12 or x = 2.
Let the number of boys studying French only be 2a, the number of girls studying French only be a, the number of boys studying
Spanish only be 2b and the number of girls studying Spanish only be b. Let the number of boys studying German only be p and
the number of girls studying German only be q. Since the number of students studying only German is the same as the number of
students studying only French, we have 3a = p + q. Out of the 36 students, the 12 students who study exactly two of the three
languages have already been accounted for. So, 3a + 3b + p + q = 6a + 3b = 24 or 2a + b = 8. Now, since 2 a will always be
even, b must be even so that 2a + b = 8. There are three different possibilities for (a, b) (1, 6), (2, 4) and (3, 2). Since the number
of girls studying only Spanish is less than the number of girls studying only German, we know that a > b. So the only possibility is a
= 3 and b = 2 so that p + q = 9.
The total number of girls is 18. So, q + 2x + a + 2y + b = 18. Substituting values, we get q + 4 + 3 + 4 + 2 = 18 or q = 5. This gives
us p = 9 5 = 4. We can now complete the Venn diagram as shown below.
The number of boys who study exactly one of the languages is 14 while the number of girls is 10. The required ratio is 14 : 10 = 7 :
5.
Explanation:-
3x + 3y = 6x = 12 or x = 2.
= 3 and b = 2 so that p + q = 9.
The number of boys studying French is 2 + 6 = 8 and the number of girls studying German is 5 + 4 + 4 = 13. The required ratio is
8 : 13.
Explanation:-
3x + 3y = 6x = 12 or x = 2.
= 3 and b = 2 so that p + q = 9.
Of the 18 boys, the number of boys who study Spanish is 2 + 4 = 6. The required proportion is 6/18 = 1/3.
Explanation:-
3x + 3y = 6x = 12 or x = 2.
= 3 and b = 2 so that p + q = 9.
The number of students who study German is 4 + 2 + 2 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 21 and the number of students who study Spanish is 2 + 4
+ 2 + 4 = 12. The required difference (21 12)/36 = 9/ 36 = 1/4.

From these possibilities, we see that only statement 3 is true.
Explanation:-
If the rhinos are fed first and the lions are fed sixth, then from the first clue, we know that the bison must be fed second.
From the fifth clue, we know that the antelope must be fed third and from the fourth clue we know that the elephants must be fed
fifth.
From the last clue, we know that the elephants must be fed before either the rhinos or the zebras, but not both.
Since the rhinos are fed first, we can conclude that the zebras are fed seventh and therefore the giraffes are fed fourth.
Thus the first option helps determine the exact order in which the seven species of animals are fed.
Explanation:-
If the bison are fed second, then the elephants must be fed fifth.
The antelope will be fed first or third. Suppose the antelope is fed first.
Then, since the zebras are fed after the antelopes, we know that the lions must be fed after the elephants, i.e., sixth or seventh.
Suppose the antelope are fed third.
If the zebras are fed first, then we know that the lions must be fed earlier than the elephants, i.e., fourth.
Suppose the antelope is fed third and the zebras are fed after the antelope.
We know that the lions must be fed after the elephants, i.e., sixth or seventh.
If the bison are fed sixth, then the elephants must be fed third.
The antelope will be fed fifth or seventh.
Suppose the antelope is fed seventh.
Since the zebras are fed before the antelope, we know that the lions must be fed before the elephants, i.e., first or second.
Suppose the antelope are fed fifth.
If the zebras are fed seventh, then the lions must be fed after the elephants, i.e., fourth.
If the zebras are fed seventh, then the lions must be fed before the elephants, i.e., first or second.
So, the lions could be fed first, second, fourth, sixth or seventh.
Thus, the lions cannot be fed third or fifth.
Explanation:-
We know that one of Vishal and Yuvraj must be on the Organising Committee.
If Trilok is on the Organising Committee, then Pushkar must be on the Organising Committee.
This is not possible as the Organising Committee has only 2 students.
So, Trilok must be on the Cultural Committee and therefore, Vishal is also on the Cultural Committee.
From the 1st clue, we know that if Amol is on the Cultural Committee, then Trilok must be on the Organising Committee.
Since Trilok is not on the Organising Committee, we can conclude that Amol is not on the Cultural Committee and must be on the
Organising Committee.
Explanation:-
Based on the size of the bubble, it is difficult to say whether Chad or Rwanda is the smallest. The other questions can be answered
on the basis of the size of the bubble and the legend (colour code) given with the scatter diagram. Also the graph has excluded 22
countries that account for 4% of African GDP in 2010. Hence the smallest country could also be from these 22 excluded countries.
So answer is option A.
Explanation:-
Per Capita Exports of Nigeria = 600 $ . So total exports will be 600 170 m $ = $ 102000 m = $ 102 b
Explanation:-
From the size of the bubble, the highest GDP is for Ghana.
Explanation:-
If we take Tunisia GDP diameter as 1, we get SAs diameter as 3.
So its economy is 9 times Tunisias size.
So SA GDP is 44 9 = 396 b $
Total contribution of manufacturing and services to SA is about 82%
So services alone will contribute 82 15 = 67%
So $ value of services will be 0.67 396 = 265 b $
Explanation:-
Given the contribution from fats to body weight growth, we can calculate the increase in total weight as:
If the fat contribution was 3000 units, then total body weight gain was (3000/12) multiplied by 100, i.e. 25000 units. In this case,
Mineral contribution becomes (25000/100 2) = 500 units and Protein contribution becomes (25000/100 6) = 1500 units.
Similarly, the table can be filled up. Note that the others category is 10% (100 70 12 6 2) of the Total Weight gained.

Hence contribution of fats to body weight growth in R is 4200 units.
Explanation:-
If the fat contribution was 3000 units, then total body weight gain was (3000/12) multiplied by 100, i.e. 25000 units.
In this case, Mineral contribution becomes (25000/100 x 2) = 500 units and Protein contribution becomes (25000/100 x 6) = 1500
units.

Similarly, the table can be filled up. Note that the others category is 10% (100 - 70 - 12 - 6 - 2) of the Total Weight gained.

Explanation:-
Plant A manufactures 0.6 6250 = 3750 units, plant B manufactures 0.75 8500 = 6375 units, plant C manufactures 0.635
8000 = 5080 units, plant D manufactures 0.74 8750 = 6475 units and plant E manufactures 0.72 6000 = 4320 units. These
four plants together manufacture a total of 26,000 units. Since this is 40% of the total production capacity of all 10 plants, we
know that the total production capacity is 26000/0.4 = 65,000, of which plants A to E account for 37,500 and plants F to J account
for 27,500.
The production capacity of plant G is 0.52 6250 = 3,250 units. So, the total production capacity of plants F, H, I and J is 27500
3250 = 24,250 units. Suppose the production capacities of plants I and J are x units each, so that the production capacities of
plants F and H are 2x and 0.85x respectively. Then, 2x + 0.85x + x + x = 24250, which on solving yields x = 5000. So, the
production capacity of plant F is 10,000, that of plant H is 4250, and those of plants I and J are 5,000 each.
Since the overall operating efficiency of the 10 plants is 70.33%, the total number of units manufactured is 0.7033 65000 =
45715, of which 26,000 units are manufactured by plants A to E and the remaining 19,715 units are manufactured by plants F to
J. The number of units manufactured by plant G is 0.72 3250 = 2340, that by plant H is 0.7 4250 = 2975 and that by plant I is
0.7 5000 = 3500. Suppose plant J manufactures y units so that plant F manufactures y + 3600 units. Then, 2340 + 2975 + 3500
+ y + y + 3600 = 19715, which on solving yields y = 3650, so that plant J manufactures 3650 units and plant F manufactures
7250 units. Using these values, we can calculate the operating efficiencies of plants F to J.
All of this information, we can tabulate the production capacity, Operating efficiency and production of the 10 plants as shown
below.

Plants A to E have a total production capacity of 37,500 units while the number of units manufactured is 26,000. Thus the
operating efficiency of plants A to E is (26000/37500) 100 = 69.33%.
Explanation:- Plant A manufactures 0.6 6250 = 3750 units, plant B manufactures 0.75 8500 = 6375 units, plant C
manufactures 0.635 8000 = 5080 units, plant D manufactures 0.74 8750 = 6475 units and plant E manufactures 0.72 6000
= 4320 units. These four plants together manufacture a total of 26,000 units. Since this is 40% of the total production capacity of

Explanation:-
One way to answer this could be to hit and trial and find the possible value. But the better way to get the answer is to arrange the
given information in the form of a perfect square on one side. Simplifying the given expression it becomes x2 + 10x + y2 + 12 = 0.
It can be further written as x2 + 10x = - 12 y2. In order to make the LHS as a perfect square it can be further written as x2 + 10x
+ 25 = - 12 y2 + 25. Thus it becomes x2 + 10x + 25 = 13 y2. (x + 5)2 = 13 y2. The LHS cannot be negative as it is a perfect
square. This means RHS will also remain positive, thus y will always be less than 4.
Now the possible value of y, which leave a perfect behind are 3, -3, 2, -2.
Taking 3 as a value of y, the possible values of x are -3 & -7.
Similarly the other values will be calculated and all the solution obtained will be as (-3, 3) ( -7, 3) (-3, -3) (-7, -3) (-2, 2)
(-8, 2) (-2, -2) (-8, -2).
Thus 8 pairs can be formed, but out of that in two cases the values of x and y are same. Hence it will have 6 solutions. Option 3.
Explanation:-
When Laxman leaves at 2:20, the correct time is 2:15. When Ram leaves at 2:20, the correct time is 2:30. In these15minutes,
Laxman has covered 12.5 km. Now, at 2:30 correct time, they are 87.5 km apart and their relative speed is 100 kmph. The time
taken to meet will be 87.5/100 = 7/8 hrs, i.e., 52.5 min after 2:30. Thus they will meet at 3:22.5 correct time and Laxmans watch
will show 3: 27.5 p. m.
Explanation:-
The minimum 6 digit number is 10,00,00 and the number which forms a set with this number is 21,11,11.
The maximum element is 99,99,99 and the number which should be clubbed with this number is 88,88,88.
So, there are 78,88,88 + 1 such sets i.e. 78,88,89. As it is not given in any of the option, the answer is none of these.

Explanation:-
People taking all 3 courses are: 22

People taking only 2 courses are:
D & F: 38 22 = 16
F & A: 31 22 = 9
D & A: 32 22 = 10
People taking only 1 course are:
D: 96 (16 + 10 + 22) = 48
F: 53 (9 + 16 + 22) = 6
A: 39 (9 + 10 + 22) = -2 (not possible).
Thus the answer is option D.
Explanation:-
The trader makes of profit of 2/9th when he sells the mixture for Rs 46.20 / kg.
So the cost of the mixture is (46.2 9) / 11= Rs 37.80 / kg.
Suppose he mixes x, y and z kg of these respectively. Then, 34.5x + 36.5y + 41.2z = 37.8(x + y + z).
Simplifying this equation, we get 3.3x + 1.3y = 3.4z.
From the answer choices, the only set of values satisfying this equation is 5 : 3 : 6.
Explanation:-
Let he buy 15 eggs.
CP of 15 eggs = Rs. 25
SP of 15 eggs = Rs. 36
Gain = 36 25 = Rs. 11
So to gain Rs. 11 number of eggs bought = 15
Explanation:-
Sum of the first thirteen terms = 13 middle term = 13 seventh term (say a) = 13a
Sum of the first twenty five terms = 25 middle term = 25 thirteenth term (say b) = 25b
Therefore, sum of the next twelve terms after the first thirteen terms = 25b 13a
Given, 13a / (25b 13a) = 26/49
b/a = 3/2
Explanation:-
Examining the fractions appearing on both sides of the relation, we see that if the numerators were 19!, we would have
expressions of the form n! / {k! (n k)!}= nCk .
Therefore, multiplying the given relation through by 19!, we have that 19N = 19C2 + 19C3 + .... + 19C9 which is the same as 19N
= 19C17 + 19C16 + ..... + 19C10
Adding the two equations above yields

38N = 19C2 + 19C3 + .......+ 19C16 + 19C17
We can rewrite this as 38N = 219 19C0 19C1 19C18 19C19 = 219 1 19 19 1
Solving for N gives N = 13796, thus N/100 = 137.96 and the greatest integer less than N/100 is 137.
Explanation:-
Greater integer means the maximum integer value of function
....... So on Till 19 x 39
Sum of n(2n + 1) till 19 terms
= Sum of 2n2 + n = 2n2 + n = 2n(n + 1)(2n + 1) / 6 + n(n + 1) / 2
= 2 x 19 x 20 x 39 / 6 + 19 x 20 /2 =
= 4940 + 190 = 5130
Explanation:-
When a = 5 and b = 2, we get 15 4 = 11 as the longest side of the square. The area of the square is 121. When a = 3 and b = 4,
we get 9 8 = 1 as the smallest side of the square. The area of the square is 1. The required difference is 120.
Explanation:-
A total of at least seven points can be made as follows (2,2,2,2) or (1,2,2,2) or (2,1,2,2) or (2,2,1,2) or (2,2,2,1).
Now P(2 points in all matches) = (0.5)4 and P(2 points in any three matches and 1 point in remaining match) = 4 (0.5)3 0.05.
Hence the required probability is (0.5)4 + 4 (0.5)3 0.05 = 0.08750
Explanation:-
Let s = 1 + 2x + 3x2 + 4x3 = ------- ......(1)
x S = x + 2x2 + 3x3 + 4x4 ------- .......(2)
Subtracting (2) from (1) we get (1-x) S = 1 + x + x2 + x3 + -----
(1 -x) S = 1/1-x S = 1/(1-x)2
Explanation:-
X9 + X10 = X9 + 1 = k yields X9 = k 1.
X8 + X9 = X8 + k 1 = k, which yields X8 = 1.
X10 + X11 = 1 + X11 = k yields X11 = k 1.
X11 + X12 = k 1 + X12 = k, which yields X12 = 1.
We can now conclude that Xi = k 1 if i is odd and Xi = 1 is i is even.
Thus X91 = k 1.
Explanation:-
Explanation:-
A number of the form abab when divided by 100 leaves the same remainder as the quotient. Also if the last 2 digits are divisible
by 4 and 3, only then the number is divisible by 12. So the possible numbers are 1212, 2424, 3636, 4848, 6060, 7272, 8484, and
9696 i.e. a total of 8 numbers.
Explanation:-
The value of is basically a value of x that satisfies the given expression.
Putting x 11 = y, we have
Putting y2 = z and solving for z, we get z = 52 + 200

Putting this value in y and the value of y in turn in x, we get
x = 11 + (52 + 200)
Explanation:-
Explanation:-
Hence, the principal will become 16 times i.e. Rs. (16 12000) = Rs. 192000
Explanation:- The total volume of 8 corner small cubes = 8 x 93 m3. Volume of original cuboid = 45 x 30 x 24 m3
So, answer is 18%
Explanation:- Let cost of 1 hen, 1 dog & 1 goat is h, d & g respectively.

40 h + 44 d + 50 g = 392 -----(1)
46 h + 54 d + 60 g = 466 -----(2)
Multiply (1) by x & (2) by y and add
109 h + 125 d + 140 g = N -----(3)
Put x (1) + y (2) = (3)
40 x + 46 y = 109
44 x + 54 y = 125
Solving these 2 equations, we get x = 1, y = 3/2
Hence N = 392 x 1 + 466 x 3/2 = 392 + 699 = 1091
Explanation:- Let the initial total investment be Rs. 100, then the amount added by Ramakant afterwards = 0.25 x 0.45 x 100 =
Rs. 11.25.
The total investment after everyone added some amount = ((0.25 x 45) + (0.65 x 35) + (0.2 x 20)) + 100 = Rs. 138.
Thus, when Ramakant adds Rs. 11.25 more, the total investment becomes Rs. 138.
If Ramakant adds Rs. 10000, the total investment becomes
Explanation:- Consider the pendant and the two red beads beside it as a single unit.
Then the remaining 30 beads and this unit can be arranged in a circular manner in
Since, the pendant looks different from both the sides, the necklace can be made in ways.
Explanation:- Let points are A(3,6) & B(5,2).

Perpendicular bisector of AB is a line which passes through middle points of AB & is perpendicular to AB.
Slope of perpendicular bisector =1/2
So, equations of line to AB & passing through (4,4) is y-y1=m(x-x1)
2y-8=x-4
x-2y+4=0Ans.
Explanation:- Let the diameter at first be 6 units. So r1 = 3 and r2 = 4.

Since the volume of water remains the same, r12h1 = r22h2
9 h1 = 16 h2; thus if the first height was 16 then the second height is 9.
So the level went down by 7 units to initial 16 units = 7 100/16 = 43.75 %
