The logic follows here is:

Statements:

I. Mohan came after Arun but not after Praveen.

Arun > Mohan > Praveen

Data in statement I is not sufficient to give the answer.

II. Ravi came after Praveen but not after Suresh.

Praveen > Ravi > Suresh

Data in statement II is not sufficient to give the answer.

After combining:

Arun > Mohan > Praveen > Ravi > Suresh

Therefore, Suresh came last for the birthday party.

Hence, the data given in both statements I and II are necessary to answer the question.

The logic that follows here is:

1. Kirti ⋆ Ramya means Kirti and Ramya are of the same age.

2) Ramya @ Mala means Mala is smaller than Ramya.

Therefore, the relationship established among Kirti, Ramya, and Mala is

Kirti = Ramya > Mala

Therefore, Mala is the smallest person among all.

Hence, the correct answer is Mala is the smallest.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows:

Conclusions:

I. Some lions are forests → False (As there is no direct relationship is given between lions and forests)

II. No lion is forests → False (As there is no direct relationship is given between lions and forests)

Conclusions I and II are complementary to each other.

Hence, Either conclusion I or conclusion II follows.

Important Points

For Either and or conditions:

I. The elements are the same in both the conclusions.

II. One conclusion is positive and one is negative.

III. Individually both the conclusions must be wrong.

Additional Information

Hence, the correct answer is North West.

The logic follows here is:

LOGIC: (Row 1 Number)³ - Row 1 Number

⇒ 4³ = 64

64 - 4 = 60

⇒ 3³ = 27

27 - 3 = 24

⇒ 2³ = 8

8 - 2 = 6

⇒ 10³ = 1000

1000 - 10 = 990

⇒ 1³ = 1

1 - 1 = 0

Hence, the correct answer is "990".

The logic that follows here is:

W + X = Y + Z  and W + Z > X + Y

Now, check from the options

1) X > Z

When Z is added to the W then the whole term becomes greater than X + Y.

That means Z > X is true.

Therefore, X > Z is definitely false.

2) W > X

When X is added to the W then the whole term becomes equal to the Y + Z and When X is added to the Y then the whole term becomes less than W + Z.

That means W > X is true.

3) W > Y

When Y is added to the Z then the whole term becomes equal to the W + X and When Y is added to the X then the whole term becomes less than W + Z.

That means W > Y is true.

4) Y > Z

We can't say anything about the relationship between Y and Z is definitely true or false.

Hence, the correct answer is X > Z.

According to the question

There are 29 girls in a row.

Navina is 17^th from the left end and Reena is 17^th from the right end.

check whether the problem is of overlapping condition or non-overlapping condition.

1. For overlap condition: Total < (rank of 1^st person from left side + rank of 2^nd person from the right side)

Number of person between 1^st and 2^nd person = (rank of 1^st person from left side + rank of 2^nd person from the right side) - Total - 2

2. For non-overlap condition: Total > (rank of 1^st person from left side + rank of 2^nd person from the right side)

Number of person between 1^st and 2^nd person = Total - (rank of 1^st person from left side + rank of 2^nd person from the right side)

Total girls = 29

the rank of 1^st person from left side + rank of 2^nd person from the right side = 17 + 17 = 34

Therefore, 29 < 34

Hence, the overlap condition is as follows.

Therefore, Number of girls between Navina and Reena = (rank of 1^st person from left side + rank of 2^nd person from the right side) - Total - 2

Number of girls between Navina and Reena = 34 - 29 - 2

Number of girls between Navina and Reena = 3

Therefore, 3 girls are present between Navina and Reena.

Hence, the correct answer is 3.

Important PointsPoints to remember:

To find the number of person between 1^st and 2^nd person, check whether the problem is of overlapping condition or non-overlapping condition.

1. For overlap condition: Total < (rank of 1^st person from left side + rank of 2^nd person from the right side)

Number of person between 1^st and 2^nd person = (rank of 1^st person from left side + rank of 2^nd person from the right side) - Total - 2

2. For non-overlap condition: Total > (rank of 1^st person from left side + rank of 2^nd person from the right side)

Number of person between 1^st and 2^nd person = Total - (rank of 1^st person from left side + rank of 2^nd person from the right side)

Additional Information

• The revolt of 1857 was initiated due to various factors:
• Religious & Social Causes - 
• Racism or racial discrimination was believed to be a major reason for the revolt of 1857 wherein Indians were exploited and were kept away from mixing with Europeans.
• The whites also started interfering in the religious and cultural affairs of Indians and tortured them as well.
• Political Causes - 
• The British expansion had led to the propagation of unjust policies that led to the loss of power of the Nawabs and Zamindars residing at various places of India.
• The introduction of unfair policies like the policy of Trade and Commerce, the policy of indirect subordination (subsidiary alliance), the policy of war and annexation, the policy of direct subordination (doctrine of lapse), the policy of misgovernance (through which Awadh was annexed) greatly hampered the interests of the rulers of the native states, and they one by one became victims of British expansionism.

Calculation:

Let x = \(0.4 \overline{31}\)

⇒ 10x = \(4.\overline{31}\)     ----eq.1

⇒ 1000x = \(431. \overline{31}\)     ----eq.2

By subtracting eq.1 from eq.2:

990x = 427

⇒ x = 427/990

Let y = \(0.\overline{26}\)     ----eq.3

⇒ 100y = \(26.\overline{26}\)     ----eq.4

By subtracting eq.3 from eq.4:

99y = 26

⇒ y = 26/99

Let z = \(0.43\overline{9}\)

⇒ 100z = \(43.\overline{9}\)     ----eq.5

⇒ 1000z = \(439.\overline{9}\)     ----eq.6

By subtracting eq.5 from eq.6:

900z = 396

⇒ z = 11/25

\(0.4 \overline{31} + 0.\overline{26} - 0.43\overline{9}\) = x + y - z

⇒ (427/990) + (26/99) - (11/25)

∴ \(0.4 \overline{31} + 0.\overline{26} - 0.43\overline{9}\) = \(0.25 \overline{39}\)

Calculation:

Given number = 52368

2202 = 48400; 2302 = 52900

⇒ 94832 is somewhere between 3002 and 3102

Checking for 2252 = 50625, started from 225 because 523 is in the second half between 220 and 230

Checking for 2262 = 51076

Checking for 2272 = 51529

Checking for 2282 = 51984

Checking for 229² = 52441

So, 52368 - 51984 = 384

Hence, 384 should be subtracted to make it a perfect square.

∴ Sum of digits = 3 + 8 + 4 = 15

Given:

Two numbers are in the ratio = 5 : 8

The product of HCF and LCM of the numbers is 6760

Formula used:

The product of HCF and LCM of two numbers is equal to the product of the two numbers

Calculation:

Let the numbers be 5x and 8x

According to the question:

5x.8x = 6760 

⇒ x² = 169

⇒ x = 13

Hence the numbers are (5 × 13 = 65) and (8 × 13 = 104)

∴ Sum of the numbers = 65 + 104 = 169

Given:

The value of the machine depreciates at the rate of 10% per annum

Present value of the machine = Rs. 6000

Calculation:

The value of the machine after three years(V)= 6000(90/100)(90/100)(90/100)

V = 6000(0.729)

∴ Percentage decrease in its value after 3 years = (1 - 0.729) × 100 = 27.1%

Given:

By selling 25 articles a person gains the cost price of 5 articles

Formula used:

Profit% = (Profit/CP) × 100

Calculation:

Let the CP of 1 article = c

Total CP = 25c

⇒ Profit = 5c

Profit% = (5c/25c) × 100 = 20

Profit = 20%

Given:

The length of all edges of a cube is increased by 40%

Formula used:

Volume (V) of a cube = a³

a = length of the edge of the cube

% change = (Final - Initial)/Initial × 100

Calculation:

Let, the edge of the cube be a

⇒ Initial volume = a³ 

Increased volume = [(100 + 40)/100 × V]³ 

⇒ [1.4a]³ = 2.744a³

So, % increase in volume = [(2.744a³ - a³)/a³] × 100 = 174.4

∴ The increase in the volume is 174.4%

Given:

A can complete the work in 20 hours

B can complete the work in 24 hours

C can complete the work in 30 hours

All 3 started working together and A and C left the work after 6 hours. 

B completed the remaining work alone 

Formula used:

The efficiency of a person is the inverse of the time taken

Calculation:

Per hour efficiencies of A, B, and C respectively are 1/20, 1/24, 1/30

Per hour efficiencies of all working together = 1/20 + 1/24 + 1/30 = 1/8

Hence, they can complete the work together in 8 hours

A and C left 6 hours after the completion of the work,

Work done by all 3 of them in 6 hours = 6(1/8) = 3/4

Work remaining for B to complete alone = 1 - 3/4 = 1/4

Let B takes n hours to complete the remaining work alone

⇒ n/24 = 1/4

⇒ n = 6

∴ B will take 6 hours to complete the remaining work alone

Given:

A and B contains spirit and water in the ratio of 3 : 5 and 3 : 2 respectively

The final ratio of spirit and water to be needed after mixing A and B = 19 : 21

Calculation:

First, we have to make units of the total quantity of A and B equal

Spirit : water in A = 3 : 5 = 15 : 25

Spirit : water in B = 3 : 2 = 24 : 16

Let A and B were mixed in x : y, respectively 

Then, according to the question

⇒ (15x + 24y)/(25x + 16y) = 19/21

⇒ 315x + 504y = 475x + 304y 

⇒ 200y = 160x

⇒ x/y = 5/4

∴ A : B = 5 : 4

Given:

The loss % on selling 6/5 of the present selling price of the article = 10%

Concept:

Loss = Cost price - Selling price

Calculation:

Let us assume the cost price of the article be X and the present loss% of the article is y%

⇒ The present selling price of the article = X × (1 - y%)

⇒ \({{X} \times ({1\ -\ {y\over 100}})\ \times {6\over 5}}\ =\ {0.90X}\)

⇒ By solving the equation

⇒ y = 25%

∴ The required result will be 25%.

Given:

The total sum = 30566

Calculation:

Let us assume share of A, B, and C are A, B, and C respectively

⇒ A + B + C = 30566     ----(1)

⇒ 5A = 3B     ----(2)

⇒ 5A = 2C     ----(3)

⇒ By equation (1), (2), and (3)

⇒ A + (5A/3) + (5A/2) = 30566

⇒ A × (1 + 5/3 + 5/2) = 30566

⇒ A × {(6 + 10 + 15)/6} = 30566

⇒ A × (31/6) = 30566

⇒ A = 5916

⇒ The share of B = 5A/3 = (5 × 5916)/3 = 9860

∴ The required result will be 9860.

Given:

The earnings of the first group = 16800

Formula used:

\({M_1\ \times\ H_1\ \times D_1\over W_1}\ =\ {M_2\ \times\ H_2\ \times\ D_2\over W_2 }\)   

(Where M = The number of men, H = The working hours, D = Days, and W = The wages)

Calculation:

Let us assume 18 men working 6 hours daily for 8 days will earn X rupees

⇒ \({12\ \times\ 8\ \times 5\over 16800}\ =\ {18\ \times\ 6\ \times\ 8\over X }\)

⇒ By solving the equation 

⇒ X = 30,240 rupee

∴ The required result will be 30240.

Given:

The average weight of the boys = 60 kg

The average weight of the girls = 50 kg

The average weight of the whole class = 56 kg

Formula used:

\({Average}\ =\ {The\ sum\ of\ all\ items\over The\ total\ number\ of\ items}\)

Calculation:

Let us assume the number of boys in the class is B and the number of girls in class G.

⇒ 56 × (B + G) = 60B + 50G

⇒ 56B + 56G = 60B + 50G

⇒ 56G - 50G = 60B - 56B

⇒ 6G = 4B

⇒ B/G = 6/4 = 3/2

⇒ The ratio of boys and girls in the class = 3 : 2

∴ The required result will be 3 : 2.

Concept:

The unit digit of power of a number repeats itself every 4^th time

Calculation:

3225 - 2864 + 239

⇒ (32)(6 × 4) + 1 - (28)(16 × 4) + (23)(2 × 4) + 1

⇒ Unit digit will be determined by unit digit of (321 - 284 + 231) 

⇒ Unit digit of 321 = 2

⇒ Unit digit of 284 = 6

⇒ Unit digit of 231 = 3

Hence, unit digit will be (2 - 6 + 3) = - 1

Since unit digit can not be negative, we will add 10 to it because these numbers are in decimal form.

∴ Unit digit of (32)25 - (28)64 + (23)9 = - 1 + 10 = 9

 Additional Information

 

Given:

Speed of train without stoppage is 120 km/h and with stoppage is 110 km/h

Concept:

Stoppage Time = Speed difference/speed of without stoppage

Calculation:

The Avg speed of a train with stoppages  = 110 km/hr

The Avg speed of  a train without stoppages = 120 km/hr

Speed difference = 120 - 110

⇒ 10 km/hr

Stoppage Time = Speed difference/speed of without stoppage

⇒ 10/120 hours = 1/12 hr

⇒ (1/12)× 60 = 5 min.

∴ The train stops 5 min in one hours.

Given:

The numerator increased = 150%

The denominator decreased = 50%

Concept:

GM% = \({GM\ \over TM}\times 100\)     (Where, GM = Gain marks and TM = Total marks)

Calculation:

Let us assume the fraction is \({x\over y}\).

⇒ \({x\ \times\ (1\ +\ 150%) } \over y\ \times\ (1\ -\ 50%)\) 

⇒ \({2.5x\over 0.5y}\ =\ {4\over 3}\)

⇒ \({x\over y}\ =\ {4\over 15}\)

∴ The required result will be 4/15.

Given:

The expression = \(\frac{58.3 × 58.3 + 56.3 × 56.3 + 58.3 × 56.3}{583 × 583 × 583 - 563 × 563 × 563}\) 

Formula used:

a³ - b³ = (a - b) × (a² + ab + b²)

Calculation:

Let us assume a = 58.3, and b = 56.3

According to the expression:

⇒ \({{a^2\ +\ ab\ +\ b^2}\over {a^3\ -\ b^3}}\ =\ {({583\over10})^2\ +\ ({563\over10})^2\ +\ ({583\times 563\over10\times10})\over [{({583})^3\ -\ ({563})^3}]\ }\)

⇒\(\frac{339889+316969+328229}{100\times(198155287-178453547)}\)

⇒ \(\frac{985087}{100\times19701740}\) = 0.0005

∴ The required result will be 0.0005.

Given:

The speed of the boat in still water = 12 km/h

The total distance = 24 km

Formula used:

\({S}\ =\ {D\over T}\)     (Where, S = The speed, D = The distance, and T = The time)

Upstream speed of the boat = Speed of the boat - Speed of the stream

Calculation:

Let us assume the speed of the stream is X

⇒ The upstream speed of the boat = 12 - X

⇒ The downstream speed of the boat = 12 + X

⇒ The time is taken by boat to cover 24 km upstream and 24 km downstream = 4 + 30/60 = 4 + 1/2 = 4.5 hours

⇒  \({24\over 12\ -\ X}\ +\ {24\over 12\ +\ X}\ =\ 4.5\)

⇒ 24(12 - x) + 24(12 + x) = 4.5(12 - x)(12 + x)

⇒ 24(12 - x + 12 + x) = 4.5(144 - x²)

⇒ (24 × 24)/4.5 = 144 - x²

⇒ 128 = 144 - x²

⇒ X = 4 km/h

∴ The required result will be 4 km/h.

Given:

The diagonal of the rectangle = 13 cm

The perimeter of the rectangle = 34 cm

Formula used:

(a + b)² - 2ab = a² + b²

The perimeter of the rectangle = 2 × (a + b)     

The area of the rectangle = a × b

d² = a² + b²     (Where, a = The longest side of the rectangle, b = The shortest side of the rectangle and d = The diagonal of the rectangle)

Calculation:

Let us assume the longest side and shortest side of the rectangle are a and b respectively

⇒ 2 × (a + b) = 34

⇒ a + b = 17     ----(1)

⇒ b = 17 - a     ----(2)

⇒ 13² = a² + b²

⇒ 169 = (a + b)² - 2ab

⇒ By equation (1) and (2)

⇒ 169 = 17² - 2 × {a × (17 - a)}

⇒ 169 = 289 - 2 × (17a - a²)

⇒ 169 - 289 = -34a + 2a²

⇒ -120 = 2a² - 34a

⇒ -60 = a² - 17a

⇒ a² - 17a + 60 = 0

⇒ By solving the quadratic equation

⇒ a = 12, 5

⇒ Where a is a longest side then a = 12 and b = 5

⇒ The area of the rectangle = a × b = 12 × 5 = 60 cm²

∴ The required result will be 60 cm².

Alternate Method

Let us assume the longest side and shortest side of the rectangle are a and b respectively

2 × (a + b) = 34

⇒ a + b = 17     ----(1)

132 = a2 + b2      ----(2)

Squaring eq (1),

(a + b)² = 17²

⇒ a2 + b2 + 2ab = 289

⇒ 169 + 2ab = 289

⇒ 2ab = 120

⇒ ab = 60

∴ The required result will be 60 cm2.

Given:

Concept:

The median of data is the centermost number of the data when arranged in ascending order

Calculation:

Total number of students = 22 + 64 + 62 + 72 + 80 + 100 = 400

Hence, the centermost number(marks) will be in 110-120 interval as it is having the 199^th, 200^th and 201^st numbers when arranged in ascending order

The total measure of the angle of the pie chart = 360º

∴ Central angle of pie chart for 110-120 interval = (72/400) × 360 = 64.8º ~ 65º

Given:

Formula used:

Average of n numbers = sum of all numbers/n

Calculation:

Total number of students = 22 + 64 + 62 + 72 + 80 + 100 = 400

Total height of all students = (22 × 85) + (64 × 95) + (62 × 105) + (72 × 115) + (80 × 125) + (100 × 135) = 46240

∴ Average height = 46240/400 = 115.6 cm

• Below: in a lower position (than), under.
• Example: From the top of the skyscraper the cars below us looked like insects.
• Besides: in addition to; also.
• Example: She won't mind if you're late - besides, it's hardly your fault.
• Belowed: There is no such word in the English Dictionary. There may be be a spelling mistake.
• Beside: at the side of, next to.
• Example: Come and sit here beside me.
• Thus, from above, it is clear that 'besides' will be used in the blank.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Besides China, America produces the maximum quantity of paper.

The correct answer is 'No sooner had I arrived at the airport than the plane landed.'

Key Points

• The expression ‘no sooner…than’ is used to suggest that one action or situation takes place/took place immediately after another action or situation.
• The structure for the expression is:
• No sooner + auxiliary verb+ subject, than+ simple past tense.
• Example: 
• No sooner had the train arrived at the station than the passengers rushed towards it.
• No sooner did she read the telegram than she fainted.
• Thus, from the given option only option 1 follows the structure and thus makes the complete sense.

The correct answer is 'to spot'.

Key Points

• Infinitive: Infinitive is the base form of the verb. The infinitive form of a verb is the form which follows "to". (to) go, (to) be, (to) ask, (to) fight, (to) understand, (to) walk . Infinitives may occur with or without the infinitive marker "to". Infinitives without "to" are known as "bare infinitives".
• Whenever there are two verbs in the same sentence the second is written as infinitive. Here in the sentence, 'try' and 'spot' both are functioning as verbs therefore, the verb 'spot' will be written as infinitive i.e. it will follow 'to'.
• Thus, from above, it is clear that 'to spot' will be used in the blank.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: 'The company is trying to spot new talent.'

• Neither Debra nor Sally expressed her annoyance when the cat broke the antique lamp.
