Q7:
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
© , @ and ★.
Q8:
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Conclusions I and III make a complementary pair. Hence, either I or III follows. Conclusion II does not follow since “No train is a dog” (E) + “All dogs are parrots” (A) gives the conclusion “Some parrots are not trains” [Q E + A O ★]. Conclusion IV does not follow because “Some buses are trains” + “No train is a dog” gives the conclusion “Some buses are not dogs[∴ I + E = O].
Q9:
Answer: Option E
Explanation:
“Some flowers are boxes” (I) + “All boxes are tigers” (A) gives conclusion “Some flowers are tigers” (I)[∴ I + A = I]. On conversion, we get “some tigers are flowers”. Hence, conclusion II follows but IV does not follow. “Some cups are flowers” (I) + “Some flowers are boxes” (I) gives no conclusion [∴ I + I= No conclusion]. Hence, III does not follow. No relation is given between tigers and cups and hence, I does not follow.
Q10:
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
“Some cats are lions” (I) + “All lions are hares” (A) ⇒ “Some cats are hares” (I) [∴ I + A = I]. Hence, conclusion IV follows. Conversion of conclusion IV gives conclusion III. Now, conclusion IV + “All hares are horses" (A) gives conclusion I [∴ I + A = I]. “All lions are hares" (A) + "All hares are horses" (A) gives conclusion "All lions are horses" (A) [∴ A + A = A]. Now, "All lions are horses" implies "Some horses are lions." Hence, conclusion II also follows.

Q15:
Answer: Option C
Q16:
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
(a) "rem tur dimi wee" ⇒ "my pencil was stolen". (b) "soz rem legh ner" ⇒ "your pencil is here". (c) "rem zet tur legh" ⇒ "blue pencil was here". (d) "dimi rem tur soz" ⇒ "your pencil was stolen".
Thus from (b) and (c), we get "rem legh" ⇒ pencil here" (though not necessarily in the same order.) Further, from (a), (b), (c) & (d) together, we get "rem" ⇒ "pencil". Hence, we get, "legh" ⇒ "here".
Q17:
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
(a) We have, "rem" ⇒ "pencil". Now, from (c) & (d), we get "tur" ⇒ "was" and hence (since "legh"⇒ "here"), we get, "zet" ⇒ "blue". Now, from (a) and(d), we get, "rem tur dimi" ⇒ "pencil was stolen". Hence, we get, "dimi"⇒ "stolen". Now, from (d), we get, "soz" ⇒ "your". Hence, from (b), we get, "ner" ⇒ "is". Thus, "zet rem ner dimi" ⇒ "blue pencil is stolen".

2010 60
2011 75

As observed from table 2010 gets 4th rank. Hence, option (A) is correct.
Q58:
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Increase in export in 2003 = [latex]\frac{(150 - 110)}{110}[/latex] x 100
[latex]\frac{40 }{110}[/latex] x 100 = 36.36%
Increase in export in 2004 = [latex]\frac{(150 - 150)}{150}[/latex] x 100 = 0%
Increase in export in 2005 = [latex]\frac{(200 - 150)}{150}[/latex] x 100 = 33.3%
Increase in export in 2006 = [latex]\frac{(200 - 175)}{200}[/latex] x 100 = 12.5%
Increase in export in 2007 = [latex]\frac{(200 - 175)}{175}[/latex] x 100 = 14.28%
Increase in export in 2008 = [latex]\frac{(275 - 200)}{200}[/latex] x 100 = 37.5%
In 2009 there is decrease.
Increase in export in 2010 = [latex]\frac{(260 - 200)}{200}[/latex] x 100 = 30%
In 2011 there is decrease. From above it is clear that the fifth largest annual percentage in export was recorded in 2007 i.e., 14.28%.
Hence, option (A) is correct.
Q59:
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
In the year 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011 there is no increase in import.
Increase in export in 2006 = [latex]\frac{(270 - 225)}{225}[/latex] x 100 = 20%
Increase in export in 2010 = [latex]\frac{(200 - 175)}{175}[/latex] x 100 = 14.28%
In 2010 there is second largest percentage increase in import. Hence, option (A) is correct.
Q60:
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
The maximum percentage increase in exports is in 2008 i.e., 37%.
The minimum percentage decrease in imports is in 2003
i.e. = [latex]\frac{(275 - 250)}{250}[/latex] x 100 = 9.09%
Hence, required % = 37.5 – 9.09 = 28%
Q61:
Answer: Option B

Directions Q (81 - 85): ead the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/phrases are printed in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions.
The writer believes that the work experience should focus more on the development in students of the ability to work with the materials of their environment and solve problems as close to reality as is practicable.
Work experience is included as a separate subject in the school system, should not be treated in the same manner as other school subjects, i.e., accumulation of certain technical facts with a superficial blessing of the practical aspect of this new subject in our school curriculum.
Work experience when included as a separate subject in our school curriculum will no doubt entail huge investment. But if the concept of work experience is implemented with sincere and competent guidance, this above investment will be a great asset to our nation.
Let us suppose, that work experience is designed in such a manner to be productive and self-sufficient, it may have some negative reaction from local small scale producers of those consumer goods.
However, an assumption is made in the above conviction that the quality of consumer articles produced by a school would be good enough to compete in the market. Ignoring all the inherent dangers discussed earlier of incorporating work experience as a separate subject in our school curriculum, it may still be worthwhile to include work experience level in science teaching even with work experience as a separate subject.
This concept of work experience in science teaching would help to provide a proper training (or development of scientific attitude) in work experience as a separate subject and in useful occupations or vocations to our students. The above training may encourage students to set up small scale industries after their completion of grade ten. This above approach may give some satisfaction to our taxpayers that the investment in the educational endeavor is not a total wastage of their money
The writer’s experience (in various countries) suggests that to make work experience a worthwhile experience, it should also be incorporated as an integral part into the high school subjects, especially science subjects. To accomplish this, any school subject especially science must be taught on four levels; the facts level, the concepts level, the values level, and the work experience level.

    A. Only A B. Only B C. Only C D. Only B and C E. All A, B and C

83. The concept of work experience in science teaching would help. A. to provide proper training in work experience. B. students to set up small scale industries after the completion of grade ten. C. to give some satisfaction to our tax payers that they could reap a little more profit from this endeavour.
    A. Only A B. Only B C. Only C D. Only A and B E. All, A, B, and C

84. What will happen if the work experience is designed to be productive and self-sufficient?
    A. It may lead to huge investment B. It may help the nation in asset building C. It may have some negative reaction from the local small scale producers D. It may lead to accumulation of certain technical facts E. It may lead to better quality goods production

85. Why the writer suggests that science must be taught on four levels?
    A. To make the students interested in the subjects B. To make them matured citizens of the country C. To make work experience a worthwhile experience D. To make the science subjects popular among the students E. None of these

86. The idea that to make experience a worthwhile experience, it should also be incorporated as an integral part into the high school subjects comes from?
