Q1. Read each question and answer the question given below each accordingly.

Guillemots are birds of Arctic regions. They feed on fish that gather beneath thin sheets of floating ice, and they nest on nearby
land. Guillemots need 80 consecutive snow-free days in a year to raise their chicks, so until average temperatures in the Arctic
began to rise recently, the guillemots’ range was limited to the southernmost Arctic coast. Therefore, if the warming continues, the
guillemots’ range will probably be enlarged by being extended northward along the coast.
What of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
 Even if the warming trend continues, there will still be years in which
guillemot chicks are killed by an unusually early snow.

If the Arctic warming continues, guillemots’ current predators are likely to

succeed in extending their own range farther north.

Guillemots nest in coastal areas, where temperatures are generally higher

than in inland areas.

If the Arctic warming continues, much of the thin ice in the southern Arctic
will disappear.

Q2. Read each question and answer the question given below each accordingly.

Some economists view the Kennedy-Johnson tax cut of 1964, which radically reduced corporate and individual taxes, as the
impetus for the substantial prosperity enjoyed by the United States in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the claim that the tax cut of 1964 was the impetus for economic prosperity?

Modernized, more productive factories were built in the late 1960’s as a result
of funds made
available by the tax cut.

Improved economic conditions in Western Europe and Japan resulted in

substantially increased
demand for United States manufactured goods in the late 1960’s.

The tax cut of 1964 contained regulations concerning tax shelters that
prompted investors to transfer their savings to more economically productive
investments.

Personal income after taxes rose in the years following 1964.

Q7. Each of the following questions has a paragraph from which the last sentence has been deleted. From the given options, choose
the one that completes the paragraph in the most appropriate way.

The wandering gypsies of Europe are finally trying to organize themselves. The European Commission has sponsored a gathering
of the gypsies to help them decide how to improve their lot without destroying their culture. Not since the Nazi campaign of
genocide have they faced such a wave of violence and xenophobia as now. The wandering nature of the gypsies is both the
hallmark of their culture and the trait that leads to conflict with structured societies. Their roaming makes it difficult for national or
local governments to educate the gypsies, tax them, or even count them. (……)

The gypsy population of Europe is estimated at 5 million.

In turn, as migratory people without territory or boundaries, gypsies have little

or no political clout.

The gypsies, who began their westward exodus from India in the tenth
century and who call themselves Roms, refuse to be sedentary and be taxed.

If the governments are determined to educate them, they will be committing

genocide.

A. An age such as ours which resents such disturbance is unlikely to view with sympathy the aims of science. 
B. From Galileo to Darwin, from Einstein to Freud, scientific theories have constantly rejocated our place in the order of things.
C. No period has been more penetrated by science, not more dependent upon it, than the past half century.
D. Few things - physical, social or moral - have more disturbed our universe than has science.
E. Yet, no period has been more uneasy about it, nor felt more that the relationship with scientific knowledge is a Faustrian pact.

The series is made up of 2 series with the numbers present alternately.

The first series is 3 8 13 18 ....

The second series is 11 16 .....

In each series, 5 is added to the previous number to get the next number

So 16 + 5 = 21

Q9
65292

Solution

Step 1: Assign variables (x, y, z, a, b). 

Step 2: Assign restrictions x=3b z=y-3

a=y+4 

Assume that z+a is one of the pairs whose sum is 11. y-3+y+4=11 2y+1=11 2y=10 y=5 z=2 a=9 

Assume that x+y is one of the pairs whose sum is 11. 3b+5=11 3b=6 b=2 x=6 x=6 y=5 z=2 a=9 b=2 

Check that three pairs equal 11. 

We already know that z+a=11 and x+y=11. 

Looking at our solutions we can also tell that a+b=11. 

With all restrictions met, the 5 digit number is 65292.

Apply the given rules to each of the options and see which match.

Option 1: 65292

4th digit 9 = 2nd digit 5 + 4

3rd digit 2 = 2nd digit 5 - 3

 1st digit 6 = 3 * last digit 2

6+5 = 11, 9+2 = 11, 9+2 = 11

Q13
3

Solution
 In one step, the symbols at the opposite corner interchange positions. In the next step, the symbols at the opposite corners along the

vertical sides interchange positions. The fifth symbol comes to lie in the upper middle and the lower middle positions alternately and is

replaced by a new one in each step. So in fig(3) ‘C’ should be replaced by a new symbol. Ans(3)

Q14
5

Solution

The left most arrow changes its position with each one of the arrows on the right in a sequence, the other one follows the same

sequence. In figure (5), the second arrow should have been the third one, the third arrow should have been the fourth one and the fourth

arrow should have been the second one.

Ans.(5)

Q15
5

Solution

In the series, first the lines connecting the two ovals are changed to curved lines and then the two ovals change into rectangles one by

one. Further, the original figure is obtained by following the same steps but in reverse order. So, in figure (5), the connecting lines should

still have been curved and the rectangle must have changed into an oval.

Ans.(5)

Section 2 - Quantitative Aptitude

Q1
11.66 days

Solution

3 Children = 1 Man

10 Men + 12 Children = 10 Men + 4 Men = 14 Men.

=> Work = 14 × 10 = 12 × D 

where D is the required number of days. => D = 14 × 10/12 = 140/12 days = 11.66 days.

From the given data,

100 M+ 120 C= Total work

Let Efficiency of Men= 3 units and Efficiency of Children= 1 unit

Total work= 100(3) + 120(1)= 420 units

Now efficiency of 12 Men= 12*3= 36 units

Time taken= 420/36= 11.67 days

Q2
 None of these

Solution

5M + 8W = 8 days - 5 units/day --------> (1)

4M + 6W = 10 days - 4 units/day---------> (2)

Total work = 40 units

Solving (1) and (2), we get

M = 1 --> 10M = 10 units/day

Time = 40/(10*1) = 4 days

Q3
5 km

Solution

Q4
37.5 km

Solution

The distance covered by the thief in 2.5 hours =10*2.5=25 km.

And the relative speed of the policeman=30-10=20 km/hr

Time to catch him =25/20 =1 hr 15 min.

And the distance where the thief is caught = 10 x (5/2 + 5/4)

=10*15/4 =37.5 km.

Q5
61

Solution

Total number of lines formed by 12 points = 12C2

Number of lines formed by 4 points = 4C2

Required number of lines = Total lines formed by 12 points - number of lines formed by 4 collinear points + 1 = 12C2 – 4C2 + 1 = 61.

Q6
32768

Solution
 Number of words = 8 × 8 × 8 × 8 × 8 = 85 = 32768 words.

Q7
0.96

Solution

The chance for A, B and C for NOT solving the problem is 0.5, 0.4 and 0.2, respectively. If all the three try, the probability for not solving the

problem is 0.04. Therefore, the chances that the problem is solved is 1 – 0.04 = 0.96

Q8
11/12

Solution

A solves the problem AND B solves the problem. 

 Numerically, this is equivalent to: 

 (2/3) × (1/4) + (1/3) × (3/4) + (2/3) × (3/4) 

 = (2/12) + (3/12) + (6/12) = 11/12. 

Q9
10

Solution

Let us consider the two numbers are a and b.

Given, a+b = 60.  

ab=LCM*HCF = 875.

(a+b)2-(a-b)2 = 4ab

(a-b)2 = (a+b)2- 4ab = 602 – (4*875)= 100

(a-b)= 10.

Q10
24

Solution

Product of LCM and HCF = product of numbers LCM =192

HCF =8

one number =64

The other number=(192 × 8)/64 =24

Q = 0.27

from that L=0.362 cost of 10 kg apple is 10*.362=3.62

Q12
Rs.877.40

Solution

Let the costs of each kg of apples and each kg of rice be Rs.a and Rs.r respectively.

10a = 24r and 6 * 20.50 = 2r

a = 12/5 r and r = 61.5

a = 147.6

Required total cost = 4 * 147.6 + 3 * 61.5 + 5 * 20.5

= 590.4 + 184.5 + 102.5 = Rs.877.40

Q13
6%

Solution

Let the No. of students in a school = x

No of Students from Rajasthan = (30/100) × x = 0.3 x

No of Students from Jaipur = (20/100) × 0.3 x = 0.06 x

Percentage of Students in School from Jaipur = (0.06 x / x) × 100 = 6 %

Q14
10000

Solution

All one legged people need one shoe per head and remaining people other than bare footed need two shoes per head.

Number of one legged people = 5% of 10000 = 0.05 × 10000 = 500

Others = 10000 – 500 = 9500

Half of 9500 go bare footed and other half need two shoes⇒ 0.5 × 9500 = 4750 need shoes.

Total number of shoes required = 500 × 1 + 4750 × 2 = 10000

 Section 3 - Verbal Ability
Q1
If the Arctic warming continues, much of the thin ice in the southern Arctic will disappear.

Solution

Choice (a): An exceptional year is not an argument against an enlarged range because an usually early snow could happen in the southern

arctic as well.

Choice (b): If their current predators also migrate northward, then the guillemots’ situation has not changed , so this is not an argument

against their enlarged range.

Choice (c): The argument suggests that they will move not inland, but northward along the coast. 

Choice (d): Correct. This statement properly identifies a factor that weakens the argument: the guillemots’ move northward would not

enlarge their range if they lost their food source, fish found under thin ice, in southern Arctic. The correct answer is option D.

Q2
Improved economic conditions in Western Europe and Japan resulted in substantially increased

demand for United States manufactured goods in the late 1960’s.

Solution

Choice (a): The modern, more productive factories made possible by the tax cut offer a reason in support of the conclusion, not against it.

Choice (b): Correct. This statement properly identifies a factor that weakens the argument by providing an alternative explanation.

Choice (c): The economically productive investments made possible by the tax cut provide an example that supports, rather than

weakens, the conclusion.

Choice (d): The rise in personal income after 1964 suggests that the tax cut of 1964 was responsible for this increase. The correct answer

is option B.

Q3
wavy

Solution
 The word undulating means rolling or swelling. Crooked refers to dishonest, transparent refers to crystal clear and delicate refers to weak

or fragile. So the best answer is wavy which means curly or undulating. Ans.(2)

Q4
earthly

Solution

Ethereal means of the celestial spheres; heavenly, spiritual or otherworldly.

Earthly means Terrestrial; not heavenly or divine

Q5
b

Solution

News is taken as a single entity, so it should be referred to as "as."

So there is an error in b.

Q6
d

Solution

'Fewer' should be replaced by 'lesser' in D.

Q7
In turn, as migratory people without territory or boundaries, gypsies have little or no political clout.

Solution

The passage highlights the efforts made by the European Commission to improve the lot of the wandering gypsies of Europe, without

having any effect on their culture. But, their wandering nature has created varied problems for the government to achieve its aim. Option

(b) is correct because it logically follows after the last statement of the paragraph which states that it is difficult to tax, educate or even

count them as they keep moving. Option (a) is incorrect as it is contradictory to the passage. Options (c) and (d) are incorrect as they

cannot be drawn from the passage definitely. 

Q8
DBACE

Solution

1. 'D' is the opening sentence as it draws attention to the topic of discussion - science. It says that science has disturbed our universe. It

has to be followed by 'B'. 'B' talks about how eminent people in the field and their theories have constantly disturbed us (relocated). It is

followed by 'A', in which 'such disturbance' refers to what is stated in 'D' and 'B'. Also, it is clear that 'C' and 'E' form a pair. 'C' - 'No period…. '

and E - 'yet, no period'. Hence, the right sequence is DBACE. Choice (1)

Q9
DCEAB
 Solution

The beginning words 'they', 'so' 'they', 'there' in the statements 'A', 'B', 'C' and 'E' respectively proclaim that they are not independent

sentences. Hence the clear choice is 'D' as in (1).     Choice (1)

Q10
because

Solution

because is used to show the reason for something.

Q11
In addition

Solution

in addition-as an extra person or thing.Here the need of medical supplies is in addition to shortage of food that the flood victims are

expiriencing

Q12
his / his

Solution

The correct answer is his / his , as the subject in the sentence is "Man" and it has to be in the possessive form.

Q13
frequently

Solution

The sentence implies that after a major life event, people can begin to see their friends suddenly again. 

If any of the options were synonymous with "suddenly," they would be potential correct answers. 

However, as such an answer is not provided, we need to find something else that contrasts well with not seeing friends for years. 

In contrast to such extended absence, "frequent" visits are quite different. 

Therefore, of the options provided, this is the only one that adequately works without importing other meanings (as happens with negative

words like "flippantly," "sadly," and "manipulatively")

Q14
by fair means or by foul means

Solution

The idiom "by hook or by crook" means by fair means or by foul means.

Q15
goose : gosling

Solution

The relationship here is one of parent to offspring. A joey is a baby kangaroo.

Similarly, a gosling is a baby goose.

 Section 4 - Data Interpretation

Q1. Rs.65

Solution

(7X * 50 + 3X * 100)/10X = Rs. 65/Kg     

Q2. 2000

Solution

Production = Sales / 0.8

= 1.25 x Sales.

Sales in 92 = 100 crore

=> Production in 1992 = 125 crore

=> Exports = 25 crore

Required answer = (25 x 107)/(100 x 1.25 x 1000)

= 2000 tons.       

Q3. 0%

Solution

There is no increase as is evident (Both the sales values are 100 for '92 & for '96).     

Q4. 100%

Solution

If the price in any one year exceeds by 100%, it will remain 100% as the increase is

proportional to one quantity only.                                                                                                           

Q5. 5000

Solution

Total sales = Sales (A) + Sales (B)

=> 100 x 107 = 50 x 10000 x 1000 + 100X x 1000 (X = Quantity of B sold)

=> X = 5000

(Price of A & B are taken as 50 & 100 Rs./kg Respectively as sales for '92 = sales for '96). 

Q6. 272
 Solution

Required selected students of Institute A = (72/360) x 3780 x (36/100) = 272.         

Q7. 200

Solution

Selected students from different zones are :

        North Zone 272                    Central Zone 153

        South Zone 132                    West Zone 76

        North-East Zone 284        East Zone 257

        Hence the required average = (1174 ÷ 6) = 195.66 =  200. 

Q8. North

Solution

Clearly it is maximum for the north zone, among st the given zones.       

Q9. 700

Solution

Selected students of South zone = 3780 x (36/360) = 378.

        From Institute A = 378 x (35/100) = 132 (approx.)

        From Institute B = 378 x (25/100) = 95 (approx.)

        Selected students of North-East zone = 3780 x (90/360) = 945.

        From Institute A =945 x 30 / 100 = 284 . From Institute B = 945 x 20 / 100 = 189

        Total students of postal courses at Institutes A & B

        = 132 + 95 + 284 + 189 = 700.     

Q10. 1701

1989        23/50 = 0.46

1990        30/56 = 0.53

Q13. 1986

Solution

The growth in Gross Profit in 1986, as compared to the previous year is "5 units in 40". In

case of 1987, it is "5 units in 45" and in case of 1990, it is "5 units in 50". Hence, the

growth would be maximum for 1986 Ans.(1)

Q14. 2

Solution

The paired rise in the "Gross Profit" and "Net Profit" took place for 2 years (1986 & 1990).

Ans.(3) 

 
Q15. >1 but <1.5

Solution

The largest difference is for the year 1987, i.e., 32.5 lakhs and the smallest difference is for

the year 1988, i.e., 25 lakhs.

Hence the required ratio = 32.5/25  = 1.3 . Ans.(4)
