If a real estate agent received a commission of 6 percent of the selling price of a certain house,
what was the selling price of the house?
(1) The selling price minus the real estate agent's commission was $84,600.
(2) The selling price was 250 percent of the original purchase price of $36,000.

Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient
Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is
sufficient
EACH statement ALONE is sufficient
Answer:

EACH statement ALONE is sufficient

Explanation:

From (1) it follows that $84,600 is 94% (100% - 6%) of the selling price, and thus
the b selling price, $84,600 / 0.94, can be determined. Therefore (1) alone is
sufficient. From (2) it follows that the selling price is 2.5($36,000). Thus, (2) alone
is sufficient.The best answer is the fourth choice

Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient

Qn.22

John and David each received a salary increase. Which one received the greater dollar increase?
(1) John's salary increased 8 percent.
(2) David's salary increased 5 percent.

Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is
sufficient
EACH statement ALONE is sufficient
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
Answer:

Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

Explanation:
 In (1) there is no information about David's salary and in (2) there is no
informationabout John's salary; thus neither statement alone is sufficient, and the
answer must the third or fifth choice. Since (1) and (2) together give only the
percentage increases in salary, it cannot be determined which person received the
greater dollar increase.
Therefore, (1) and (2) together are not sufficient, and the best answer is the last
choice

Qn.23

Carlotta can drive from her home to her office by one of two possible routes. If she must Also
return by one of these routes, what is the distance of the shorter route

(1) When she drives from her home to her office by the shorter route and returns by the longer
route, she drives a total of 42 kilometers.

(2) When she drives both ways, from her home to her office and back, by the longer route, she
drives a total of 46 kilometers

Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is
sufficient.
Answer:

BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is

sufficient.

Explanation:

Statement (1) alone is not sufficient because only the sum of the distances of the
two routes is given and there are infinitely many pairs of numbers with a given
sum.

From (2) the distance of the longer route can be found, but there is no information
about the distance of the shorter route. Statement (2) alone is therefore not
sufficient.

From (1) and (2) together, the distance of the shorter route can be determined (42 -
46/2), and the third choice is the best.
EACH statement ALONE is sufficient
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

Qn.24
The symbol ∇represents one of the following operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, or
division. What is the value of 3∇2

(1) 0 - 1 = 1
(2) 1 + 0 = 1

Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
Answer:

Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.

Explanation:

Since 0 + 1 = 1, 0 - 1 = -1, 0 × 1 = 0, and 0 ÷ 1 = 0, it follows from (1) that ∇

represents addition, so the value of 3 ∇ 2 can be determined. Hence, (1) alone is
sufficient.

Since 1 + 0 = 1, 1 - 0 = 1, 1 × 0 = 0, and 1 ÷ 0 is undefined, it follows from (2) that

∇ could represent either addition or subtraction, so that 3 ∇ 2 could equal 5 or 1.
Thus, (2) alone is not sufficient.

The best answer is the first choice

Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is
sufficient.
EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

Qn.25

Is the prime number p equal to 37?

(1) p = n^(2 + 1), where n is an integer.

(2) p^2 is greater than 200

Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is
sufficient.
EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
Answer:
 Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

Explanation:

In (1) the expression n^(2 + 1) can represent a prime number less than 37, equal to
37, or greater than 37, depending on the value of n. For example if n = 4, then 4^2 +
1 = 17; if n =6, then 6^2 + 1 = 37; and if n = 10, then 10^2 + 1 = 101; and 17, 37
and 101 are all prime numbers. Thus (1) alone is not sufficient.

Since 14^2 = 196 and 15^2 = 225, it follows from (2) that p > 14, so that p might or
might not equal 37. Thus (2) alone is not sufficient.

The values of p for n = 4 and n = 6 given above show that (1) and (2) together are
not sufficient, and the last choice is the best answer.

I. READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE AND GIVE THE ANSWER FOR THE GIVEN
QUESTION

The object underlying the rules of natural justice "is to prevent miscarriage of justice" ans secure
"fair play in action" As pointed out earlier the requirement about recording of reasons for its
decision by an administrative authority exercising quasi-judicial functions achieves his object by
excluding changes of arbitrariness and ensuring a degree of fairness in the process of decision
making. Keeping in view the expanding horizon of the principle of natural justice which govern
exercise of power by administrative authorities. The rules of natural justice are not embodied
rules. The extent of their application depends upon the particularly statutory framework where
under jurisdication has been conferred on the administrative authority. with regard to the exercise
of particular power by an administrative authority including exercise of judicial or quasi-judicial
functions the legislature, while conferring the said power, may feel that it would not be in the
larger public interest that the reasons for the order passed by the administrative authority be
recorded in the order and be communicated to the aggrieved party and it may dispense with such
a requirement.

The rules of the natural justice are not embodies rules" means that these rules

are left deliberately vague

cannot be satisfactorily interpreted
are flexible
cannot be visualised

Qn.32

From the passage it is clear that it is the legislature that

invests the administrative authority with enormous powers

embodies rules
has the larger interests of public welfare
leaves administrative authority enough discretion to interpret rules

Qn.33
According to the passage, there is always a gap between

rules of natural justice and their application

conception of a rule and its concretisation
demand for natural justice and its realisation
intention and execution

Qn.34

"To dispense with a requirement" means

to do without the demand

to drop the charge
to cancel all formal procedure
to alter the provisions of the case

Qn.35

According to the passage, natural justice can be brought about by

administrative authority remaining vigilant

administrative authority upholding rules of natural justice
administrative authority farming rules suitably
administrative authority observing the rules of fair play

Qn.36

Courage is not only the basis of virtue; it is its expression. faith, hope, charity and all the rest
don't become virtues until it takes courage to exercise them. There are roughly two types of
courage. the first an emotional state which urges a man to risk injury or death, is physical
courage. The second, more reasoning attitude which enables him to take coolly his career,
happiness, his whole future or his judgement of what he thinks either right or worthwhile, is
moral courage. I have known many men, who had marked physical courage, but lacked moral
courage. Some of them were in high places, but they failed to be great in themselves because
they lacked moral courage. On the other hand I have seen men who undoubtedly possessed moral
courage but were very cautious about taking physical risks. But I have never met a man with
moral courage who couldn't, when it was really necessary, face a situation boldly.

A man of courage is

cunning
 intelligent
curious
careful

Qn.37

A man with moral courage can

defy his enemies

overcome all difficulties
face a situation boldly
be very pragmatic

Qn.38

People with physical courage of ten lack
