1. M is the father of N who is the son of V. In order to know the relation of M to P, which of the statement/statements is/are necessary? 1. P is the brother of V. 2. The daughter of N is the granddaughter of V.

A. Only (1) B. Only (2) C. Either (1) or (2) D. (1) and (2) both

Answer - Option A
Explanation -
M is the father of N and N is the son of V.
Hence, V is the mother of N.
From (1), P is the brother of V
Therefore, M is the brother-in-law of P because V is the wife of M.
From (2), the daughter of N, is the granddaughter of V. From this we do not get any relation of M to P.

C and Q are sisters and A is the son of C. Hence, C is the mother of A or Z is the mother Q.
Hence, Z is the maternal grandmother of A. P is the son of Z. Hence, P is the maternal uncle of A.
3. The difference of two numbers is 1365. On dividing the larger number by the smaller, we get 6 as quotient and the 15 as remainder. What is the smaller number ?

A. 240 B. 270 C. 295 D. 360

Answer - Option B
Explanation -
Let the smaller number be x. Then larger number = (x + 1365).
x + 1365 = 6x + 15
5x = 1350
x = 270
Smaller number = 270.
4. [latex] {12}^{2} \times {6}^{2} \div 432 = ?[/latex]

A. 5184 B. 5060 C. 5148 D. None of these

Answer - Option A
Explanation -
[latex]\frac{{12}^{3} \times {6}^{4}}{432} = \frac{{12}^{3} \times {6}^{4}}{12 \times {6}^{2}} = {12}^{2} \times {6}^{2} = {72}^{2} = 5184[/latex]
5. A watch which gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes was set right at 7 a.m. In the afternoon of the same day, when the watch indicated quarter past 4 o'clock, the true time is:

A. [latex]59 \frac {7}{12}[/latex] min. past 3 B. 4 p.m. C. [latex]58 \frac {7}{11}[/latex] min. past 3 D. [latex]2 \frac {3}{11}[/latex] min. past 4

Answer - Option B
Explanation -
Time from 7 a.m. to 4.15 p.m. = 9 hrs 15 min. = [latex]\frac {37}{4} [/latex] hrs.
3 min. 5 sec. of this clock = 3 min. of the correct clock.
[latex]\Rightarrow \frac {37}{720}[/latex] hrs of this clock = [latex]\frac {1}{20}[/latex] hrs of the correct clock.
[latex]\Rightarrow \frac {37}{4}[/latex] hrs of this clock = ([latex]\frac {1}{20} \times \frac {720}{37} \times\frac {37}{4} [/latex]) hrs of the correct clock.
= 9 hrs of the correct clock.
i.e, The correct time is 9 hrs after 7 a.m. i.e., 4 p.m.

1. Statement: Cases of food poisoning due to consumption of liquor are increasing in rural areas. Assumptions: I. Percentage of people consuming liquor is more in rural areas. II.There are many unauthorized spurious liquor shops in the rural areas.

The statement talks of number of cases of food poisoning due to consumption of liquor and not of the number of cases consuming liquor. So, I is not implicit. Besides, the statement indicates that people in rural areas are getting spurious or low-grade liquor and no check is being kept on shops selling liquor there. So, II is implicit.
2. Statement: Should children be legally made responsible to take care of their parents during their old age? Arguments: I. Yes. Such matter can only be solved by legal means. II. Yes. Only this will bring some relief to poor parents.
