Q13:
Answer: Option B
Q14:
Answer: Option D
Q15:
Answer: Option C
Q16:
Answer: Option B
Q17:
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
M K ....(ii), K ≤ R ...(iii); R > F ....(iv)
These relationships can’t be of any help; none of the quantities can be compared on their basis.
Q18:
Answer: Option E
Explanation:
B ≥ K ...(i); K = T....(ii); T > F ....(iii); H < F... (iv)
From (i) and (ii), B ≥ K = T or B ≥ T. Hence either I (B = T) or II (T < B) is true.
From (ii), (iii) and (iv), K = T, T > F > H or H < K.
Hence III follows. From (i), (ii) and (iii),
B ≥ K =T > F or F < B. Hence IV follows.
Q19:
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
W > B ...(i); B ≤ F ...(ii); F < R ...(iii); R = M ...(iv)
From (ii), (iii) and (iv), B ≤ F ≤ R ≤ M = ...(v)
Hence M > B and II follows. Also, R > B and III follows.
From (i) and (v). We can’t be compared either with F or with M. Hence I and IV do not follow.
Q20:
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
E ≤ K ...(i); K = T ...(ii); T < N ...(iii); B ≥ N ...(iv)
Combining these, we get E ≤ K = T < N ≤ B.
Hence T ≤ E and I follow.
Again, K < N and II follow.
B > T and hence III is true.
Again, B > E and hence IV follows.
Q21:
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Z = B ...(i); B ≥ M ...(ii); M < F...(iii); F ≤ R ......iv)
From (i) and (ii), Z = B ≥ M or Z ≥ M...(v)
Hence I (Z > M) is not definitely true but IV (M ≤ Z )is:
From (ii) and (iii), B and F can’t be compared.
Hence II does not follow.
From (iii) and (iv), M M. Hence III follows.
Q22:
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
All stones are poles + All poles are desks = A + A = A
= All stones are desks → conversion → Some desks are stones (I).
Hence II follows. All stones are desks + Some desks are nets = A + I = No conclusion. Hence I do not follow. Some desks are nets + All nets are days = I + A
= I = Some desks are days → conversion → Some days are desk (I).
Hence III follows.
Q23:
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Some weeks are years + All years are buses = I + A = I
= Some weeks are buses → conversion → Some buses are weeks (I). Hence II follows. Some weeks are buses + All buses are trains = I + A = I = Some weeks are trains → conversion → Some trains are weeks (I).
Hence, I follows. Some months are weeks + Some weeks are trains = I + I = No conclusion. Hence III does not follow.
Q24:
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Some stations are rails + All rails are rivers = I + A = I = Some stations are rivers → conversion → Some rivers are stations (I).
Hence II follows. All rivers are papers + Some papers are cards = A + I = No conclusion.
Q25:

Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Total investment in 2014 = 2923.1 + 7081.6 = 10004.7
Total investment in 2015 = 3489.5 + 8352.0 = 11,841.5
∴ % increase = [latex]\frac{11841.5 - 10,004.7}{10,004.7}[/latex] x 100 = 18.36 %
Q47:
Answer: Option C
Explanation:

Q57:
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let the amount invested in scheme A be Rs. x.
∴ [latex]\frac{x × 12 × 2}{100}[/latex] = 3600 ⇒ x = [latex]\frac{3600 × 100}{24}[/latex] = Rs. 15000
Total investment = Rs. 35,000
∴ Amount invested in scheme B. = Rs. (35000 – 15000) = Rs. 20000
∴ C.I. = P {[1 + [latex]\frac{R}{100}]^T - 1 [/latex]} = 2000 {[1 + [latex]\frac{10}{100}]^2 - 1 [/latex]}
= 20000 (1.21 – 1) = 2000 × 0.21 = Rs. 4200
Q58:
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
In 36 days 12 men can do 1 complete work.
In 36 days 12 women can do [latex]{3}{4}th[/latex] of the work.
Since time and the no. of persons is the same in both cases.
Since time and the no. of persons is the same in both cases.
1 woman’s daily work = [latex]{3}{4}th[/latex] of 1 man’s daily work
8 women’s daily work = [latex]{3}{4}th[/latex] x 8 = Rs. 6 men’s daily work
(10 men + 8 womens daily work) = (10 men + 6 men)
= 16 men’s daily work
∴12 men can do the work in 36 x [latex]\frac{12}{6}[/latex]days = 27 days.

Directions(81-90): In the following questions a paragraph is given. Read the paragraph carefully and answer the questions which follow each of this paragraph.
The greatest consequences of the atmosphere crisis may be global warming and ozone depletion. The Earth appears to be warming due to the greenhouse effect. Scientists estimate that the average temperature could climb about 2 degrees Celsius in 20 years. Global warming is the predicted result of the greenhouse effect, created by greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, in the atmosphere. This change in the global climate would have disastrous results, including drought, coastal flooding, and increased species extinction. Also, scientists have discovered a hole in the ozone layer. The ozone layer is the only protection for life on Earth against deadly ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. Once the ozone layer is completely destroyed, all life on Earth will cease to exist, killed by the deadly radiation. The planet will become a barren rock devoid of all life. And when this happens the process of industrialization would have to take the blame which has resulted in increased use of fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum, and diesel.
81. Which of the following can be inferred from the given passage A. The use of all chemical products should be immediately stopped. B. Scientists will have a hard time to estimate the rate of change of temperature in the years to come due to enormous changes in the environment. C. The environmental disaster in the future will happen as a result of increased usage of fossil fuels.

82. Which of the following best explains the usage of the phrase ‘brewing a disastrous stewl
    A. The continuous rise in Earth’s temperature has proved to be very dangerous. B. Lack of efforts to curb the greenhouse effects would degrade the environment in the near future. C. The harmful ultraviolet radiations are slowly destroying life on Earth. D. The fraternity of scientists has been opposing the process of industrialization. E. The increased discharge of chemicals in the air is resulting in an atmosphere crisis.
    Fashion has become one of the largest fads among the youth. The amount of time wastage and expenditure on fashion is very large. What bothers, however, is the fact that fashion is here to stay despite countless arguments against it. What is required, therefore, is that strong efforts should be made in order to displace the excessive craze of fashion from the minds of today’s youth.

83. Which of the following statements finds the least support by the argument made by the author in the given paragraph
    A. Youngsters should be motivated to do constructive business rather than wasting time on fashion. B. The world of fashion is glamorous and glittery attracts people towards itself. C. Following the latest fashion increases the self-efficacy of people, thus increasing their overall mental abilities. D. Many universities have implemented a dress code to put a check on the increasing fad amongst the youth which was affecting their grades. E. None of these

84. Which of the following can be inferred from the given paragraph
    A. The author has made strong efforts to wipe out fashion from the minds of youth. B. Steps need to be taken in order to control the growing fad of fashion amongst the youth. C.

    The government cannot afford to compartmentalize education. It has to be emphasized that any country which does not have a good university education will never be listed as an independent country and will never be able to progress. Only countries prepared to tolerate a second rate and subjugate status in the world would neglect higher education. If India had any position in the comity of nations in the past, it was only because it had a better higher education than many of its Asian counterparts. This clear emphasis on higher education, however, does not imply that it should be supported and developed at the cost of primary and secondary education.

85. Which of the following best explains the main idea of the paragraph
    A. The government has made a wrong move in compartmentalizing education. B. To highlight the superiority of India in higher education as compared to the rest of the world C. To emphasize more on primary education rather than higher education D. Higher education is important for the growth of a country. E. None of these

86. Which of the following is the most likely title of the bigger passage (having the same main idea as that of the given paragraph) in which this paragraph might have appeared
    A. Education—a fundamental right of every child B. Indian education—unfortunate neglect of primary education C. Lack of higher education opportunities in India D. A comparison of higher education in India with that of the west E. Importance of higher education in the growth of a country
    Although an eco-friendly process and one of the main ways to save the environment, recycling is not gaining pace in the industry. The process of recycling undergoes many processes. First is collecting and sorting of garbage. This requires a lot of manpower and tools which are expensive. Another disadvantage of recycling which makes it unviable is that for the manufacturers, economically, the recycled material is not highly demanded since its quality is not as good as the original material. So if the marketing of recycled goods is not worthwhile, then the whole process of recycling cannot be economically efficient. Recycled products face other disadvantages as well, such as short shelf life, difficulty in drinking dyed products and less durability.

87. The author has listed the disadvantages of recycling to
    A. explain the reason why recycling is not a popular option besides having various positive effects on the environment B. give arguments to support the stopping of the process of recycling completely C. predict the effects of stoppage of recycling on the environment D. show that there are better options than recycling available for utilization E. None of these

88. Why is the marketing of recycled products not worthwhile, according to the author? (A) The original products are being sold at a much lower price as compared to the recycled products. (B) The overall effect of recycling on the environment is detrimental rather than beneficial. (C) It does not give appropriate economic returns since recycled products lack demand in the market.
    A. Only A B. Both B and C C. Only C D. Both A and B E. None of these
