Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements:
All stones are rocks.
All rocks are pebbles.
Some stones are hills.
Conclusions:
(1) All rocks are hills.
(II) All pebbles are hills.
Only conclusion (1) follows.
Neither conclusion (1) nor (II) follows.
Only conclusion (II) follows.
Both conclusions (1) and (II) follow.
Correct answer
Neither conclusion (1) nor (II) follows.
Why this answer is correct
The least possible venn diagram is:
Conclusions:
(1) All rocks are hills → False (As, All stones are rocks, Some stones are hills. so, All rocks are hills can be a possibility but definite)
(II) All pebbles are hills → False (As, All stones are rocks, All rocks are pebbles, Some stones are hills. so, All pebbles are hills can be a possibility but definite)
Thus, Neither conclusion (1) nor (II) follows.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
206 is related to 135 following a certain logic. Following the same logic, 178 is related to 107. To which of the given options is 194 related, following the same logic?
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding to/subtracting from/multiplying with 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.)
123
133
127
117
Correct answer
123
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: Second Number = First Number – 71
For 206 is related to 135
⇒ 206 – 71
= 135.
For 178 is related to 107
⇒ 178 – 71
= 107.
Applying the same logic to 194:
⇒ 194 – 71
= 123.
Hence, the correct option is "Option 1".
Mr. E starts from Point A and drives 12 km towards the North. He then takes a right turn, drives 6 km, turns right and drives 9 km. He then takes a left turn, drives 12 km, turns right and drives 6 km. He then takes a right turn and drives 21 km. He takes a final right turn, drives 3 km and stops at Point P. How far (shortest distance) and towards which direction should he drive in order to reach Point A again? (All turns are 90 degrees turns only unless specified)
4 km to the north
6 km to the south
5 km to the west
3 km to the east
Correct answer
3 km to the east
Why this answer is correct
Given:
Mr. E starts from Point A and drives 12 km towards the North.
He then takes a right turn, drives 6 km, turns right and drives 9 km.
He then takes a left turn, drives 12 km, turns right and drives 6 km.
He then takes a right turn and drives 21 km.
He takes a final right turn, drives 3 km and stops at Point P
Thus, E has to drive 3 km to the east to reach point A.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4".
Below are given two sets of numbers. In each set of numbers, a certain mathematical operation on the first number results in the second number. Similarly, certain mathematical operation on the second number results in the third number and so on. Which of the given options follows the same set of operations as in question? (NOTE – A two/three-digit number cannot be broken into individual digits for operations e.g. if 37 is followed by 10, the operation cannot be 3+7 as a two-digit number cannot be broken into individual digits)
3 – 27 – 37 – 32 ; 8 – 72 – 82 – 77
12 – 108 – 118 – 113
11 – 121 – 132 – 162
6 – 54 – 84 – 42
4 – 36 – 52 – 62
Correct answer
12 – 108 – 118 – 113
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: The sequence of operations is: × 9, + 10, - 5.
First Number × 9 → Second Number
Second Number + 10 → Third Number
Third Number - 5 → Fourth Number
3 → 27 → 37 → 32
3 × 9 = 27.
27 + 10 = 37.
37 - 5 = 32.
8 → 72 → 82 → 77
8 × 9 = 72.
72 + 10 = 82.
82 - 5 = 77.
1) 12 – 108 – 118 – 113
12 × 9 = 108.
108 + 10 = 118.
118 - 5 = 113.
Hence, the correct option is "Option 1".
In this question, a statement is given, followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.
Statement:
Roads of City B are congested due to high vehicle movement.
Assumptions:
I. Metro rail of City B also gets delayed due to congestion.
II. Influx of people to City B is higher than that to other cities of the country.
Both assumptions I and II are implicit.
Neither assumption I nor Il is implicit,
Only assumption I is implicit.
Only assumption II is implicit.
Correct answer
Neither assumption I nor Il is implicit,
Why this answer is correct
Statement:
Roads of City B are congested due to high vehicle movement.
Assumption I: Metro rail of City B also gets delayed due to congestion. (Not implicit)
The statement talks only about roads being congested. It does not mention the metro system at all. So we cannot assume metro delays from this.
Assumption II: Influx of people to City B is higher than that to other cities of the country. (Not implicit)
The statement does not mention population increase or compare City B with other cities. Road congestion alone does not prove higher influx than other cities.
Thus, neither of the assumptions follows from the statement.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
Based on the English alphabetical order, three of the following four letter-clusters are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which letter-cluster DOES NOT belong to that group?
(Note: The odd one out is not based on the number of consonants/vowels or their position in the letter-cluster.)
RVY
MQT
CGJ
INR
Correct answer
INR
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Option 1) 'R V Y':
Option 2) 'M Q T':
Option 3) 'C G J':
Option 4) 'I N R':
Does not follow the pattern.
Thus, the letter-cluster that DOES NOT belong to that group is INR.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

What will come in the place of the question mark (?) in the following equation, if ‘+’ and ‘−’ are interchanged and ‘×’ and ‘÷’ are interchanged?
34 − 20 ÷ 8 × 2 + 16 = ?
96
98
95
93
Correct answer
98
Why this answer is correct
The given interchange rules are: ‘+’ ↔ ‘−’ and ‘×’ ↔ ‘÷’.
The original equation: 34 − 20 ÷ 8 × 2 + 16 = ?
After applying the interchange rules, the new equation is:
34 + 20 × 8 ÷ 2 − 16 = ?
Now, we solve the equation following the BODMAS rule:
= 34 + 20 × 8 ÷ 2 − 16
= 34 + 80 − 16
= 114 − 16
= 98
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

If ‘A’ stands for ‘÷’, ‘B’ stands for ‘×’, ‘C’ stands for ‘+’ and ‘D’ stands for ‘−’, then what will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following equation?
9 D 35 C 48 B 30 A 12 = ?
95
94
96
92
Correct answer
94
Why this answer is correct
BODMAS Rule:
According to the question, the letters are interchanged as follows:
| Original Letter | A | B | C | D |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New Symbol | ÷ | × | + | − |
Now, given the equation: 9 D 35 C 48 B 30 A 12 = ?
After interchanging the specified letters, the new equation is:
9 − 35 + 48 × 30 ÷ 12 = ?
Perform operations according to BODMAS:
→ 9 − 35 + 48 × 30 ÷ 12
→ 9 − 35 + 120
→ −26 + 120
→ 94
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".

A shopkeeper lists the price of a fan at 50% above its cost price and offers a 30% discount on its list price. If he earns a profit of ₹159, then what is the list price (in ₹) of the fan?
4,657
4,951
4,741
4,770
Correct answer
4,770
Why this answer is correct
Given:
Profit = ₹159
List Price = Selling Price (SP)
Cost Price (CP) = ₹x
List Price = 50% above CP
Discount = 30%
Formula used:
SP = CP × (1 + 50/100) × (1 - 30/100)
Profit = SP - CP
Calculation:
SP = ₹x × (1 + 50/100) × (1 - 30/100)
SP = ₹x × 1.5 × 0.7
SP = ₹x × 1.05
Profit = SP - CP
₹159 = ₹x × 1.05 - ₹x
⇒ ₹159 = ₹x(1.05 - 1)
⇒ ₹159 = ₹x × 0.05
⇒ ₹x = ₹159 ÷ 0.05
⇒ ₹x = ₹3180
List Price = CP × (1 + 50/100)
⇒ List Price = ₹3180 × 1.5
⇒ List Price = ₹4770
∴ The correct answer is option (4).
A garrison of 1210 men has provisions for 15 days. How long (in days) will the provisions last if the garrison is increased to 1815 men?
10
11
9
12
Correct answer
10
Why this answer is correct
Given:
Number of men initially = 1210
Provisions last for = 15 days
Number of men increased to = 1815
Calculation:
For provisions, the total number of man-days remains constant. Hence,
Initial total man-days = Final total man-days
1210 × 15 = 1815 × x
Where x is the number of days the provisions will last for 1815 men.
1210 × 15 = 1815 × x
⇒ x = (1210 × 15) / 1815
⇒ x = 18150 / 1815
⇒ x = 10
∴ The correct answer is option (1).

Number of students in school = 7597
Ratio of boys to girls = 50 : 21
Calculation:
Total ratio = Sum of parts in the ratio = 50 + 21 = 71
Number of boys = (Ratio of boys ÷ Total ratio) × Total number of students
Number of boys = (50 ÷ 71) × 7597
⇒ Number of boys = (50 × 7597) ÷ 71
⇒ Number of boys = 379850 ÷ 71
⇒ Number of boys = 5350
∴ The correct answer is option (1).
A person borrows ₹87,900 at 10% compound interest per year, compounded annually. At the end of every year, he pays ₹9,900 as part payment. How much does he still owe after two such instalments?
₹85,569
₹85,439
₹85,556
₹85,382
Correct answer
₹85,569
Why this answer is correct
Given:
Principal (P) = ₹87,900
Rate (r) = 10% per annum
Time (t) = 2 years
Annual payment = ₹9,900
Formula used:
Compound Interest formula: A = P × (1 + r/100)t
Remaining balance after payment = Amount at the end of the year - Payment
Calculation:
Year 1:
Amount after 1 year: A = ₹87,900 × (1 + 10/100)
⇒ A = ₹87,900 × 1.1 = ₹96,690
Remaining balance after first payment: ₹96,690 - ₹9,900
⇒ Balance = ₹86,790
Year 2:
Amount after 2 years: A = ₹86,790 × (1 + 10/100)
⇒ A = ₹86,790 × 1.1 = ₹95,469
Remaining balance after second payment: ₹95,469 - ₹9,900
⇒ Balance = ₹85,569
∴ The correct answer is option (1).

Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
Given:
Value of 2.5555... + 1.2727... - 1.8888...
Formula used:
Recurring decimal conversion: A decimal number like 2.5555... can be written as a fraction using the formula for recurring decimals.
Calculation:
Convert 2.5555...:
Let x = 2.5555...
⇒ 10x = 25.5555...
⇒ 10x - x = 25.5555... - 2.5555...
⇒ 9x = 23
⇒ x = 23/9
Convert 1.2727...:
Let y = 1.2727...
⇒ 100y = 127.2727...
⇒ 100y - y = 127.2727... - 1.2727...
⇒ 99y = 126
⇒ y = 126/99
⇒ y = 14/11
Convert 1.8888...:
Let z = 1.8888...
⇒ 10z = 18.8888...
⇒ 10z - z = 18.8888... - 1.8888...
⇒ 9z = 17
⇒ z = 17/9
Add and subtract the fractions:
⇒ (23/9) + (14/11) - (17/9)
⇒ (23 - 17)/9 + 14/11
⇒ 6/9 + 14/11
⇒ 2/3 + 14/11
Find the LCM of 3 and 11:
⇒ LCM = 33
Convert fractions to have the same denominator:
⇒ (2 × 11)/(3 × 11) + (14 × 3)/(11 × 3)
⇒ 22/33 + 42/33
⇒ (22 + 42)/33
⇒ 64/33
∴ The correct answer is option (1): 64/33.
Pinki is twice as competent a worker as Sabina. Sabina can complete a task in 48 days. If Pinki and Sabina work together, the time it will take to finish the work is:
18 days
18.6 days
17.9 days
16 days
Correct answer
16 days
Why this answer is correct
Given:
Sabina 1 day work = 1/48
Pinki is 2 times ⇒ Pinki 1 day work = 1/24
Formula used:
Total time = LCM ÷ (sum of efficiencies)
Calculation:
LCM of 48 and 24 = 48
Sabina work = 48 ÷ 48 = 1
Pinki work = 48 ÷ 24 = 2
Total work = 3
⇒ Time = 48 ÷ 3
∴ Time = 16 days
Amit purchased 10 kg of rice at the rate of ₹38 per kg and 32 kg of rice at ₹46 per kg. He sold the whole mixture at the rate of ₹43 per kg. Find his loss (in ₹).
54
41
51
46
Correct answer
46
Why this answer is correct
Given:
Purchased 1: 10 kg rice at ₹38 per kg
Purchased 2: 32 kg rice at ₹46 per kg
Selling Price of mixture = ₹43 per kg
Formula used:
Total Cost Price (CP) = Sum of (Weight × Rate)
Total Weight = Sum of Weights
Total Selling Price (SP) = Total Weight × SP per kg
Loss = Total CP − Total SP
Calculations:
Total CP = (10 × 38) + (32 × 46)
⇒ Total CP = 380 + 1472
⇒ Total CP = 1852
Total Weight = 10 + 32
⇒ Total Weight = 42 kg
Total SP = 42 × 43
⇒ Total SP = 1806
Total Loss = Total CP − Total SP
⇒ Total Loss = 1852 − 1806
⇒ Total Loss = 46
∴ The calculated loss is ₹46.
The average price of three items of furniture is ₹17,295. If their prices are in the ratio 3 : 5 : 7, the price of the costliest item (in ₹) is:
8,071
10,377
5,765
24,213
Correct answer
24,213
Why this answer is correct
Given:
The average price of three items = ₹17,295
The ratio of their prices = 3 : 5 : 7
Formula used:
Average price = (Sum of all items) ÷ Total number of items
Sum of all items = Total average price × Total number of items
Calculation:
Sum of all items = 17,295 × 3
⇒ Sum = ₹51,885
Let the prices of the three items be 3x, 5x, and 7x.
Sum of all items = 3x + 5x + 7x = 15x
⇒ 15x = ₹51,885
⇒ x = ₹51,885 ÷ 15
⇒ x = ₹3,459
The price of the costliest item = 7x
⇒ 7 × ₹3,459 = ₹24,213
∴ The correct answer is option (4).

Work completed by 3 men in 27 hours = 1 unit
Number of men = 9
Formula used:
Work = Men × Time
Time required = Total Work / Number of men
Calculations:
Total work completed by 3 men in 27 hours = 3 × 27 = 81 units
Time required for 9 men to complete the same work:
⇒ Time = Total Work / Number of Men
⇒ Time = 81 / 9
⇒ Time = 9 hours
∴ The correct answer is option (4).
The curved surface area of a cylinder is 880 cm. If the circumference of its base is 88 cm, find its volume. (Use π =22/7 )
6120 cm3
6180 cm3
6140 cm3
6160 cm3
Correct answer
6160 cm3
Why this answer is correct
Given:
Curved surface area of the cylinder = 880 cm2
Circumference of the base = 88 cm
π = 22/7
Formula used:
Curved Surface Area = Circumference × Height
Volume = π × r2 × h
Calculations:
Curved Surface Area = Circumference × Height
⇒ 880 = 88 × h
⇒ h = 880 ÷ 88
⇒ h = 10 cm
Circumference = 2 × π × r
⇒ 88 = 2 × (22/7) × r
⇒ r = (88 × 7) ÷ (2 × 22)
⇒ r = 14 cm
Volume = π × r2 × h
⇒ Volume = (22/7) × 142 × 10
⇒ Volume = (22/7) × 196 × 10
⇒ Volume = (22 × 1960) ÷ 7
⇒ Volume = 6160 cm3
∴ The correct answer is option (4).

The speed of a stream is 3 km/hr. A person can row 26 km downstream in the same time as he can row 14 km upstream. Find the speed of the boat in still water (in km/hr).
9
8
7
10
Correct answer
10
Why this answer is correct
Given:
Speed of the stream = 3 km/hr
Downstream distance = 26 km
Upstream distance = 14 km
Time taken downstream = Time taken upstream
Let the speed of the boat in still water = x km/hr
Formula used:
Downstream speed = (x + speed of the stream)
Upstream speed = (x - speed of the stream)
Time = Distance ÷ Speed
Calculations:
Time taken downstream = Time taken upstream
⇒ 26 ÷ (x + 3) = 14 ÷ (x - 3)
⇒ 26(x - 3) = 14(x + 3)
⇒ 26x - 78 = 14x + 42
⇒ 26x - 14x = 42 + 78
⇒ 12x = 120
⇒ x = 10
∴ The speed of the boat in still water is 10 km/hr (Option D).

⇒ 35x + 65x = 21300 × 65
⇒ 100x = 21300 × 65
⇒ x = (21300 × 65) / 100
⇒ x = ₹13845
∴ The correct answer is option (2).

Convert 4.6833333… into a fraction.
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
Given:
Decimal: 4.6833333… (repeating 3)
Formula used:
A repeating decimal is converted to a fraction by forming equations and subtracting them to eliminate the repeating part.
Calculations:
Let x = 4.6833333…
Multiply by 100 to move decimal after 68:
⇒ 100x = 468.33333…
Multiply by 1000 to move one repeating digit further:
⇒ 1000x = 4683.33333…
Subtract:
⇒ 1000x − 100x = 4683.33333… − 468.33333…
⇒ 900x = 4683 − 468
⇒ 900x = 4215
Solve for x:
⇒ x = 4215 ÷ 900
Simplify:
⇒ x = 843 ÷ 180
Simplify again:
⇒ x = 281 ÷ 60
∴ The fraction is 281/60.
Water flows out through a circular pipe whose internal diameter is 2 cm, at the rate of 2 metres per second into a cylindrical tank with base radius of 50 cm. By how much will the level of water rise in the tank in 20 minutes?
94 cm
91 cm
96 cm
93 cm
Correct answer
96 cm
Why this answer is correct
Given:
Pipe diameter = 2 cm ⇒ radius = 1 cm
Flow speed = 2 m/s = 200 cm/s
Tank radius = 50 cm
Time = 20 minutes = 1200 seconds
Formula used:
Volume of water per second = Area of pipe × Speed
Area of circle = π × r2
Rise in tank level = Total volume ÷ Area of tank base
Calculation:
Area of pipe = π × 12
⇒ Area = π
Volume per second = π × 200
⇒ Volume per second = 200π
Total volume in 1200 s = 200π × 1200
⇒ Total volume = 240000π cm³
Area of tank base = π × 502
⇒ Area of tank base = 2500π
Rise in water level = 240000π ÷ 2500π
⇒ Rise = 96 cm
∴ Water level will rise by 96 cm.
The price of fuel decreases by 30%, 20% and 10% in three successive months, but increases by 65% in the fourth month. What is the percentage increase/decrease in the price of fuel in the fourth month as compared to its original price?
Decreases by 19.82%
Increases by 21.97%
Increases by 20.21%
Decreases by 16.84%
Correct answer
Decreases by 16.84%
Why this answer is correct
Given:
The price of fuel decreases by 30%, 20%, and 10% in three successive months and increases by 65% in the fourth month.
Formula used:
To calculate the successive percentage change in price, the formula is:
New Price = Initial Price × (1 + Percentage Change 1) × (1 + Percentage Change 2) × (1 + Percentage Change 3) × (1 + Percentage Change 4)
Percentage Change = ((Final Price - Initial Price) / Initial Price) × 100
Calculations:
Assume the original price of fuel is ₹100 for simplicity.
1st Month Price: ₹100 × (1 - 30/100) = ₹100 × 0.7 = ₹70
2nd Month Price: ₹70 × (1 - 20/100) = ₹70 × 0.8 = ₹56
3rd Month Price: ₹56 × (1 - 10/100) = ₹56 × 0.9 = ₹50.4
4th Month Price: ₹50.4 × (1 + 65/100) = ₹50.4 × 1.65 = ₹83.16
Percentage Change in Price as compared to its original price:
⇒ Percentage Change = ((₹83.16 - ₹100) / ₹100) × 100
⇒ Percentage Change = (₹83.16 - ₹100) / ₹100 × 100
⇒ Percentage Change = -16.84%
∴ The correct answer is option 4 (Decreases by 16.84%).
Amit's income in 2019 was ₹24,100. He gets an increment of 30% every year. What was his income (in ₹) in 2021?
38,560

31,330
24,100
Correct answer
40,729
Why this answer is correct
Given:
Income in 2019 = ₹24,100
Increment = 30% every year
Formula used:
Income after increment for n years = Initial Income × (1 + Increment Rate)n
Calculation:
Income in 2021 = ₹24,100 × (1 + 30/100)2
⇒ ₹24,100 × (1.3)2
⇒ ₹24,100 × 1.69
⇒ ₹40,729
∴ The correct answer is option (2).

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
In the age of algorithmic decision-making, predictive governance has emerged as a dominant paradigm for public administration. Governments are increasingly deploying data-driven models to pre-empt criminal activity, optimise urban planning, and forecast economic volatility. While ostensibly rational, this model introduces a paradox: the more predictive power a system accumulates, the more it flattens human agency into statistical probabilities. The future becomes not an open horizon but a quantifiable extension of past behaviours. This techno-bureaucratic reliance risks marginalising outliers those whose experiences fall outside normative data sets and institutionalising bias under the guise of objectivity. Moreover, the ethical oversight of such systems lags far behind their deployment, creating a governance vacuum wherein accountability is outsourced to opaque algorithms. In prioritising efficiency and foresight, predictive governance often bypasses deliberative democracy, weakening participatory channels in favour of streamlined outcomes.
Citizens are recast as data points, their individual complexities reduced to patterns in a machine-readable format. This mechanistic interpretation of society may inadvertently erode trust in institutions that no longer appear responsive but merely anticipatory. Therefore, the question is not only whether predictive systems function but also for whom they function and who is excluded by their logic. A governance structure that projects authority through prediction must be tempered by transparent frameworks, ethical scrutiny, and above all, a reaffirmation of the human condition as more than a predictable variable.
What best summarises the passage?
Algorithms have no place in governance due to their inherent inaccuracies.
While predictive governance improves foresight, it risks diminishing human agency and democratic processes.
Predictive governance enhances citizen engagement through efficient data system
Predictive models have revolutionised public administration with minimal drawbacks.

30
compile time error
20
Correct answer
compile time error
Why this answer is correct
The correct answer is compile time error.
Key Points
The given code snippet results in a compile-time error because the variables a and b are used without being declared and the statement is missing semicolons. To correct the code, variables a and b need to be explicitly declared as integers, like int a = 10; and int b = 20;. If the code is corrected and compiled, the ternary operator (a > b) ? a : b evaluates the condition a > b. Since 20 > 10, the expression returns b, which is 20. The printf function then outputs the value 20 to the console.
Additional Information
Ternary Operator:
The ternary operator in C is a shorthand conditional operator, represented as condition ? expression1 : expression2. If the condition is true, the operator returns expression1; otherwise, it returns expression2.
Syntax Correction:
To fix the error in the provided code, add int declarations for the variables a and b. Example: int a = 10, b = 20;
Proper Coding Practices:
Always declare variables before using them in expressions. Include semicolons (;) at the end of each statement to avoid syntax errors. Test code thoroughly to ensure correctness and avoid runtime or compile-time errors.
