Given: 

• Train A crosses a man in 12 seconds and train B running in the opposite direction crosses it in 24 seconds.
• The length of train B is twice the length of train A
• The speed of train B is 54 km/h = 54 × (5/18) = 15 m/s

Formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

Calculation:

Let the length of train A be x and the length of train B be 2x.

According to the question,

Train A crosses a man in 12 seconds.

Therefore, the speed of Train A is = x/12 m/s

Train B running in the opposite direction crosses it in 24 seconds.

The relative speed = speed of train A + speed of Train B

Relative speed = (x/12) + 15

Now, by using the formula,

where distance is equal to the sum of the lengths of both trains i.e. 3x

⇒ distance = relative speed × Time

⇒ 3x = { (x/12 + 15)} × 24

⇒ x = { (x/12 + 15)} × 8

⇒ 12x = (x + 180) × 8

⇒ 3x = (x + 180) × 2

⇒ 3x = 2x + 360

⇒ x = 360

Thus, the length of train A is 360 m.

Speed of Train A = x/12 m/s

⇒ 360 / 12

⇒ 30 m/s = 30 × (18/5) = 108 km/hr

Hence, the correct answer is "108 km/hr".

Given:

The police saw the thief from a distance of 200m or 0.2 km,

The speed at which the thief ran is 9 km/h and the police ran at the speed of 11 km/h.

Formula used:

Case 1: When two bodies 'a' and 'b' moves in the same direction.

Relative speed between a and b = a - b km/hr

Case 2: When two bodies 'a' and 'b' moves in the apposite direction.

Relative speed between a and b = a + b km/hr

Calculation:

According to the question,

Relative speed between thief and police = 11 - 9 = 2 km/hr

Time required by thief to be captured by police = 0.2/2 = 0.1 hour

Distance travelled by thief in 0.1 hour = 9 × 0.1 = 0.9 km = 900 m

Therefore, "900 m" is the required answer.

Formula used:

Average of n natural numbers = $\frac{(n+1)}{2}$

In this formula:

"n" is the number of natural numbers you want to sum.

Calculation:

First natural number = 1

Last natural number = 47

Average = (1 + 47)/2 = 48/2 = 24

Therefore, "24" is the required answer.

Given:

The interest rate is 14% per annum which is being compounded half yearly.

The amount is Rs 965000 and the tenure is 3 years.

Formula used:

The formula for compound interest is:

A = P$\left ( 1 + \frac{R}{n × 100} \right)^{nT}$

Where:

A = Final Amount

P = Principal amount 

r = Annual interest rate

n = Number of times that interest is compounded per year.

t = the number of years the money is invested or borrowed

Calculation:

According to the question,

⇒ A = 965000 × $\left ( 1 + \frac{14}{2 × 100} \right)^{2 × 3}$

⇒ A = 965000 × $\left ( 1.07\right)^{6}$

⇒ A = 965000 × 1.5 = 14,48,204.78

Now, 

Compound Interest = 1448204.79 - 965000 ≈ Rs. 483204.79

Therefore, "Rs. 483204.79" is the required answer.

Given:

The percentage of alcohol in 8L solution of alcohol and water is 13%.

Calculation:

According to the question,

Case 1: 

Quantity of alcohol in 8L solution = 13% of 8 = 1.04L

Quantity of water in 8L solution = 8 - 1.04 = 6.96L

Case 2: If 2L of water is added to the solution

New quantity of water = 6.96 + 2 = 8.96L

Quantity of alcohol (remain unchanged) = 1.04L

Total quantity = 10L

Required % = 1.04/10 × 100 = 10.4%

Therefore, "10.4%" is the required answer.

Given:

A wall is 5.5 m high and 6.5 m wide.

Calculation:

The maximum size of squares required to cover the wall with square-shaped papers = H.C.F of (5.5 and 6.5) = 0.5 m

The number of number of squares required to cover the wall horizontally = 5.5/0.5 = 11

The number of number of squares required to cover the wall vertically = 6.5/0.5 = 13

The maximum number of squares required = 11 × 13 = 143

Therefore, "143" is the required answer.

Given:

P and Q can do the work of laying carpet in 6 days.

Q and R can do the same carpet laying work in 8 days.

R and P can do the same carpet laying work in 10 days.

Formula used:

1. Amount of work (in units) = L.C.M of (a, b, c)

Where, 

Time taken by A to do the work = a

Time taken by B to do the work = b

Time taken by C to do the work = c

2. Efficiency of a person = Amount of work ÷ Total time taken by the person to complete the work

Calculation:

Amount of work (in units) = L.C.M of (6, 8, 10) = 120 units

According to the question,

Efficiency of P and Q = 120/6 = 20 units per day

Efficiency of Q and R = 120/8 = 15 units per day

Efficiency of R and P = 120/10 = 12 units per day

Now, Combined Efficiency = 2(P + Q + R) = 47

Combined efficiency of P, Q and R = 47/2 units per day

Time taken to complete the work = 120 ÷ 47/2 = 240/47 days

Therefore, "240/47 days" is the required answer.

Given:

A person's salary is deducted by 8% on house rent.

Then 15% of the remaining is spent on household utilities.

20% of the remaining is spent on miscellaneous and children's education.

After these, his savings are Rs 988448.

Calculation:

Let x be the salary of the person.

Remaining salary after house rent = (100% - 8%) of x

Remaining salary after household utilities = (100% - 15%) × (100% - 8%) of x

Remaining salary after miscellaneous and children's education = (100% - 20%) × (100% - 15%) × (100% - 8%) of x

According to the question,

⇒ (100% - 20%) × (100% - 15%) × (100% - 8%) of x = 988448

⇒ (80%) × (85%) × (92%) of x = 988448

⇒ $\frac{80}{100} × \frac{85}{100} × \frac{92}{100}$ × x = 988448

⇒ x = Rs. 15,80,000 

Therefore, "Rs. 15,80,000" is the required answer.

Given:

Bill = Rs. 48900

Case 1: Discount of 18%.

Case 2: two successive discounts of 12% and 6%.

Formula used:

1. Discount (in Rs.) = Discount (in %) of Marked Price (in Rs.)
2. Overall discount for two successive discounts of a% and b% = a + b - (ab)/100

Calculations:

Case 1: Discount of 18%.

Case 2: two successive discounts of 12% and 6%.

Overall discount = 12 + 6 - $\frac{12 × 6}{100}$ = 18 - 0.72 = 17.28%

According to the question,

The required difference between two discounts = 18% - 17.28% = 0.72%

The overall discount in Rs. = $\frac{0.72}{100}$ × 48900 = Rs. 352.08

Therefore, "Rs. 352.08" is the required answer.

Given:

Ram, Shyam and Dheeraj are in a partnership. He made a profit of Rs 531000 for the year.

Their capital is in the ratio 1/2 : 1/5 : 1/7.

Concept:

Ratio in which Profit is distributed among the partners = Ratio in which investment are made among the partners

Calculation:

Ram, Shyam and Dheeraj capital is in the ratio = 1/2 : 1/5 : 1/7

Now multiply each term by 70.

Ram, Shyam and Dheeraj capital is in the ratio = 1/2 × 70 : 1/5 × 70 : 1/7 × 70 = 35 : 14 : 10

The share of profit made by Shyam = $\frac{14}{59}$ × 531000 = Rs. 126000

Therefore, "Rs. 126000" is the required answer.

Given:

A shopkeeper has a number of products worth Rs 20000.

1/4 of them are sold at 14% profit

The total profit is 16.5%

Concept:

Profit on 1 item = Profit on n items

Calculation:

Let the total number of product = 100

The number of product sold at 14% profit = 1/4 × 100 = 25

Remaining of the product at x% profit = 100 - 25 = 75

According to the question,

⇒ (25 × 14) + (75 × x) = 100 × 16.5

⇒ 350 + (75 × x) = 1650

⇒ 75x = 1300

⇒ x = 17.33%

Therefore, "17.33%" is the required answer.

Given:

Case 1:

Two numbers are in the ratio 3 : 7.

Case 2:

When 12 is added to both the numbers the ratio becomes 9 : 17.

Calculation:

Let the numbers are 3x and 7x.

According to the question,

⇒ $\frac{3x + 12}{7x + 12} = \frac{9}{17}$

⇒ 51x + 204 = 63x + 108

⇒ 204 - 108 = 63x - 51x

⇒ 96 = 12x

⇒ x = 8

First number = 3x = 24

Second number = 7x = 56

Therefore, "24, 56" are the required answer.

Given:

A person gives a discount of 16% on the list price.

After discount, he earns a profit of 12% on Rs 9408.

Formula used:

Selling price = (100% + Profit%) of Cost Price

Calculation:

Let cost price = x

Selling price = Rs. 9408

According to the question,

⇒ x × (100% + 12%) = 9408

⇒ x × 112% = 9408

⇒ $\frac{112}{100}$ × x = 9408 

⇒ x = Rs. 8400

The cost price of the article = Rs. 8400

Therefore, "Rs. 8400" is the required answer.

Formula:

Average = $\frac{\text {Sum of 'n' numbers}}{\text {n}}$

Calculation:

Prime numbers between 15 and 49 are: 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43 and 47

The sum of all prime numbers between 15 and 49 = 17 + 19 + 23 + 29 + 31 + 37 + 41 + 43 + 47 = 287

Number of Prime numbers between 15 and 49 = 9

Average = 287/9 ≈ 31.89

Therefore, "31.89" is the required answer.

Given:

The passing percentage of school R of class VI, VII, VIII, IX, and X are 56%, 58%, 60%, 52% and 57% respectively.

On comparing the above data it can be inferred that school P performs the worst in compare to other schools in every class. 

Therefore, "P" is the required answer.

Concept Used:-

Formula for the sum of cube of two values a and b can be given as,

$a^3+b^3=(a+b)\left(a^2-a b+b^2\right)$

Explanation:-

Given expression is,

$\frac{(0.023 × 0.023 × 0.023 + 0.017 × 0.017 × 0.017)}{(0.023 × 0.023 - 0.023 × 0.017 + 0.017 × 0.017)}$

Let the result of this expression is x. Thus,

$x=\frac{(0.023 × 0.023 × 0.023 + 0.017 × 0.017 × 0.017)}{(0.023 × 0.023 - 0.023 × 0.017 + 0.017 × 0.017)}$

In the exponential form terms can be written as,

$x=\frac{(0.023)^3 + (0.017)^3}{(0.023)^2 - 0.023 × 0.017 + (0.017)^2 }$

In the numerator, there is cube of two values. Use the above mentioned formula and expand it to get,

$x=\frac{(0.023+0.017)[(0.023)^2-0.023\times 0.017+(0.017)^2]}{[(0.023)^2 - 0.023 × 0.017 + (0.017)^2] }$

$x=0.023+0.017\ x=0.04$

Hence,

$\frac{(0.023 × 0.023 × 0.023 + 0.017 × 0.017 × 0.017)}{(0.023 × 0.023 - 0.023 × 0.017 + 0.017 × 0.017)}=0.04$

So, the correct option is 4.

Given: 

The number of qualified students: 196, 153, 167, 190, 179, 208, 180, 183, 210, 171, 231, 256, 255, 238, 260

Formula used:

To find the median of raw discrete data, you can use the following steps:

Organize the data: Arrange the discrete data in ascending or descending order, which means listing the data values from smallest to largest.

Determine the number of data points (n): Count how many data points you have in your dataset.

Calculate the median:

Case 1: If n is odd, the median (M) is the middle value:

M = $\left ( \frac{n+1}{2} \right )^{th}$ value

Case 2: If n is even, the median (M) is the average of the two middle values:

Md = Average of $\left ( \frac{n}{2} \right )^{th} \text {value} + \left ( \frac{n}{2} + 1 \right )^{th} \text {value}$

Calculation:

Arrange the data in the ascending order:

153, 167, 171, 179, 180, 183, 190, 196, 208, 210, 231, 238, 255, 256, 260

The number of variables = 15

Median = (15 + 1)/2 = 8

Median = the value of 8th position = 196

Therefore, "196" is the required answer.

Given:

The given number is 1536.

Calculation:

According to the question,

Prime factorisation of 1536 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

Make the number in group of three to find the cube root.

⇒ 1536 = (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2) × 3

⇒ 1536 = 2³ × 2³ × 2³ × 3

Now, we are required to multiply the number by 3².

⇒ 1536 × 32 = 23 × 23 × 23 × 3 × 32

⇒ 1536 × 32 = 23 × 23 × 23 × 3³

∴ 9 should be multiplied by 1536 to make a perfect cube.

Therefore, "9" is the required answer.

Given:

$\frac{7x}{1+\frac{1}{1-\frac{x}{1+x}}}$ = 2

Calculation:

According to the question,

⇒ $\frac{7x}{1+\frac{1}{1-\frac{x}{1+x}}}$ = 2

⇒ $\frac{7x}{1+\frac{1}{\frac{1+x-x}{1+x}}}$ = 2

⇒ $\frac{7x}{1+1+x}$ = 2

⇒ 7x = 2(2 + x)

⇒ 7x = 4 + 2x

⇒ x = 4/5 

Therefore, "4/5" is the required answer.

Given:

What is the length of the largest ruler that can accurately measure three equilateral triangles with sides measuring 68 cm, 102 cm and 136 cm?

Three equilateral triangles with sides 68, 102 and 136.

Calculation:

According to the question,

The length of the largest ruler that can accurately measure three equilateral triangles = H.C.F of (68, 102 and 136) 

Now, 

Prime factorisation of 68 = 2 × 2 × 17

Prime factorisation of 102 = 2 × 3 × 17

Prime factorisation of 136 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 17

The highest common factor for 68, 102 and 136 = 2 × 17 = 34

Therefore, The length of the largest ruler that can accurately measure three equilateral triangles is 34 cm.

Therefore, "34 cm" is the required answer.

Given:

A room is 17 m long, 12 m wide and 10 m tall.

h = height of the cuboid 

Calculation:

According to the question,

The length of the longest pole that can be inserted = $\sqrt {17^2 + 12^2 + 10^2} = \sqrt {533}$  ≈ 23.09 m

Therefore, "23.09" is the required answer.

The correct solution is 'he didn't realize it'.

Key Points

• In the sentence given above, the bracketed portion 'he do not realize it, he'  contains an error.
• Looking at the full sentence, we know that the sentence is in a simple past tense as the second part of the sentence mentions that 'He was responsible for his own actions'.
• So, if the sentence is in a simple past thense, the bracketed portion 'he do not realise it' also has to be in a past tense.
• The correct form would be 'he didn't realize it' where 'didn't' is the past form of the verb 'do'.
• The whole sentence would become 'Even though he didn't realise it, he was responsible for his own problems'.
• Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The correct solution is 'PRSQ'

Key Points

• While arranging jumbled sentences, we must find a common them by analyzing all our options and arrange them accordingly.
• In the given question above, the passage begins with the static sentence, 'Pangaea or Pangea is derived from Ancient Greek pan meaning "all, entire, whole" and Gaia "Mother Earth, land".
• This sentence would be followed by Option P, 'It was a supercontinent that existed during the late Palaeozoic and early Mesozoic eras.' as it described the natire of Pangaea which is mentioned in the first sentence.
• Option R*, 'It assembled from earlier continental units approximately 335 million years ago, and began to break apart about 175 million years ago.'* follows as this sentence also continues to describe what happened to Pangaea.
• The next sentence is Option S, ' In contrast to the present Earth and its distribution of continental mass, Pangaea was centred on the Equator and surrounded by the superocean Panthalassa' as this entence introduces us to a new element Panthalassa in order to describe the position of Pangaea.
• The next sentence would be Option Q, 'Pangaea is the most recent supercontinent to have existed and the first to be reconstructed by geologists' as this sentence concludes the description od Pangaea.
• The passage ends with another static sentence, 'The forming of supercontinents and their breaking up appears to have been cyclical through Earth's history.'
• Hence the correct answer is Option 1.

The correct solution is 'Axiom'.

• Example: A widely held axiom is that those who speak softly have gentle personality. The truth is that they can a more vibrant personality than any other.
• Option 1, 'A position requiring little or no work but giving the holder status or financial benefit' is a definition of the word Sinecure.
• Option 2, 'The action or offence of speaking sacrilegiously about God or sacred things' is the definition of Blasphemy.
• Option 3, 'Denoting a sin that is not regarded as depriving the soul of divine grace' is the definition of the word Venile.
• Hence the correct answer is Option 4.

The correct solution is 'surrounded by dozens of complicated switches and sophisticated gauges'

Key Points

• In the given sentence above, the bracketed portion 'surrounding with dozen of complicating switches and sophisticated gauges' contains an error.
• This is because, in the first part of the sentence, it is mentioned that the subject settles into the cockpit. Here she is bound to be surrounded by the machinery.
• So the correct grammar would be 'surrounded by dozens of complicated switches and sophisticated gauges'.
• Here we change the word 'surrounding' with 'surrounded' as the word 'surrounding' would mean an action that is going on whioch is not compatible with machinery which are stationary in nature.
• We also change the word 'with' with 'by' as the term 'with' indicated 'accompaniment' whiole the term 'by' identifies the object surrounding the subject.
• Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The correct solution is 'long run'.

Key Points

• In the given sentence in the question, we have to fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
• Since, the second part of the sentence is comparing between two things, 'competing a marathon' and 'eating a chocolate pie', we have to fill in the blank with the time period for this comparision.
• Option 2, 'long run' would be the most appropriate option as it means 'a long period of time after the beginning of something'. 
• Option 1, 'fastest run' is an incorrect option as it is grammatically incorrect.
• Option 2, 'fast running' is an incorrect option as the sentence is not tying to infer a literal 'run' but a time period.
• Option 4, 'long duration' indicates a time period but is an incorrect option as it specifically indicate a time period which has a beginning and an end while the sentence above does not have such specified time period.
• Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The correct solution is 'RPSQ'.

Key Points

• In order to arrange jumbled sentences, we have to analyse all options first and arrange them in such a way that coherent sentences are formed.
• In the question above, the passage starts with 'Photosynthesis is a process'.
• This will be followed by option R which states 'used by plants and other organisms to' as this line started to describe the use of photosynthesis mentiones in the previous line.
• Option P will come next which states 'Convert light energy into chemical energy that' as this line continues describing the process of photosynthesis.
• Then option S will be next which states, 'through cellular respiration' as this also follows the pattern of describing the process of photosynthesis.
• Option Q will be the last as it begins concluding the process of photosynthesis by stating that 'can later be released to fuel the'.
• The sentence ends with the ststic line 'organism's metabolic activities'.
• Hence the correct answer is Option 4.

• Hence the correct answer is Option 3.

The correct solution is 'critical'. 

Key Points

• In the question given above, we have to find a word from the option which is most suited to fill in the blank.
• Looking at the sentence, we have to find  an adjective that qualifies the word symptom.
• The most appropriate adjective would be 'critical' which means 'having the potential to become disastrous'.
• This would make the sentence 'Stil another critical symptom has to be considered'. 
• Option 1, 'overwhelming'  means '. very great or very large' and is not appropriate to describe the noun 'symptom'.
• Option 3, 'violent' means 'using or involving force to hurt or attack' and is not suitable to define the noun 'symptom'.
• Option 4*, 'tuberous*' means 'having, looking like, or relating to a tuber ( the swollen underground stem or root of a plant such as a potato)' and is not the most appropriate the qualify the noun 'symptom'.
• Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The correct solution is 'the acceptance of it's own kind of art' 

Key Points

• In the given sentence above, the third section 'the accpetance of it's own kind of art' contains an error.
• This is because at the beginning of the sentence it mentions the subject 'intellectual madness'.
• the same subject is again referred in the third section of the sentence and using the words 'it's own' would be wrong as it does not point to the same subject.
• The correct way would be to use the word 'this' instead of 'it's own' as it would be referring to the same subject even in the third section.
• The correct sentence would thus be 'But intellectual madness would have  resulted from a development that followed  the acceptance of this kind of art'.
• Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

The correct solution is 'Turning away from failing or fleeing from an unpleasant situation'. 

Key Points

• A proverb is a short, well-known pithy saying, stating a general truth or piece of advice.
• The given proverb in the question 'The rats are leaving the sinking ship' does not literally mean rats leaving a sinking ship.
• It instead means 'turning away from failing or fleeing an unpleasant situation'. 
• Option 1, 'In an emergency you do things that you would not otherwise do' does not have a proverbial expression.
• Option 2, 'Don’t expect a good event to happen before it has actually happened' is the expression for the idiom 'don't count your chickens before they hatch'.
• Option 4, 'You shouldn’t be too sure of something, even if the prospect is good.' is also an expression for 'don't count your chocken before they hatch'
• Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

The correct solution is 'To destroy a bridge or path behind oneself'. 

Key Points

• An idiom is a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words.
• The given idiom in the question 'Burn your bridges' means 'To destroy a bridge or path behind oneself'.
• In simpler words, it means 'make return to previous situation impossible.'
• Example: She burned her bridges with the whole family.
• ​Options 2, 3 and 4 do not have idiomatical expressions .
• Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The correct solution is 'This phenomena made its appearance'.

Key Points

• In the sentence given above, the first section 'This phenomena made its appearance' contains an error.
• This section of the sentence is erronous because the word 'this' is a singular adjective used to  indicate a person, place, thing etc.
• While the word 'this' is singular, the first sentence used the plural noun 'phenomena' which is grammatically incorrect.
• The singular form of the word phenomena would be phenomenon which means 'something that exists and can be seen, felt, tasted, etc., especially something unusual or interesting'.
• So the correct sentence would be 'This phenomenon made its appearance even during the short lived period of the Soviet republic in Bavaria'.
• Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

The correct solution is 'Dreary'. 

Key Points

• The word given in the question 'Gratifying' means 'pleasing and satisfying'.
• In order to find a word with opposite meaning, let us look at the meaning of the options:
• Option 1, 'Dreary' means 'sad or dull' and is the correct answer as its meaning is opposite to the meaning of gratifying'.
• Option 2, 'Eventful' means 'full of events or incidents' and is not the meaning opposite to the word gratifying.
• Option 3, *'*Pleasant' means 'giving a sense of happy satisfaction or enjoyment.' and is an incorrect answer as it is the synonym of the word gratifying.
• Option 4, 'Delightful' means 'very pleasant, attractive, or enjoyable' and is also the synonym of graticying and an incorrect answer.
• Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The correct solution is '. Bohemians were unorthodox but had strongly supported political and social viewpoints.'

Key Points

• The question above asks us to select an option which is incorrect.
• Option A, ' Bohemians were unorthodox but had strongly supported political and social viewpoints' is an incorrect statement as the fourth sentence of the first paragraph mentions that ' Bohemians were associated with unorthodox or anti-establishment political or social viewpoints,'.
• Comparing the two sentences, we know that Option A is an incorrect statement.
• Option B, 'Bohemian was a common term for the Romani people of France' is a correct statement as found in the second sentence of the second paragraph, 'Bohemian was a common term for the Romani people of France'.
• Option C, 'Some of the Bohemian people choose to live a life of poverty despite being wealthy'. is also a correct statement as found in fourth sentence of the first paragraph ' Bohemians were associated with unorthodox or anti-establishment political or social viewpoints, which often were expressed through free love, frugality, and—in some cases—simple living, van-dwelling or voluntary poverty'. Here the sentence mentions 'voluntary poverty' whichb indicates that people chose o live a live of poverty despite being wealthy.
• Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The correct solution is 'Van converted to home, people live in the van and travel around'. 

Key Points

• THe word van-dwelling can be found from the fourth sentence of the first paragraph*, 'Bohemians were associated with unorthodox or anti-establishment political or social viewpoints, which often were expressed through free love, frugality, and—in some cases—simple living, van-dwelling or voluntary poverty'.*
• Here, van-dwelling is used to describe the life led by the bohemians amongs many other practices.
• Van -dwelling here refers to the living in a van converted to a home, where people live and travel around.
• Hence the correct answer is Option 3.

The correct solution is 'C is incorrect'. 

Key Points

• Let us analyse the given statements to see whether they are correct or incorrect:
• Option A, 'The use of the word bohemians as wanderers was imported in the English language from French in the mid 19th century' is a correct stetement  as found in the second sentence of the first paragraph, 'This use of the word in the English language was imported from French in the mid 19th century and was used to describe the non-traditional lifestyles of artists, writers, journalists, musicians, and actors in major European cities'.,
• Option B, ' Haute bohème means rich Bohemian people' is a correct statement as found in the last sentence of the first paragraph ' A more economically privileged, wealthy, or even aristocratic bohemian circle is sometimes referred to as haute boheme (literally "high Bohemia").'.
• Option C, 'Bohemianism was started in the15th century by the native inhabitants of Bohemia in France' is an incorrect statement as the first sentence of the second paragraph mentions that 'The term bohemianism emerged in France in the early 19th century, when artists and creators began to concentrate in the lower-rent, lower class, Romani neighbourhoods. Bohemian was a common term for the Romani people of France'. .
• Option A and B are correct and only Option C is an incorrect statement.
• HEnce the correct answer is Option 3.

The correct solution is 'destitute'.
