DIRECTIONS: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.

Every Monday, on his way back from work, Bipin Chowdhury would drop in at New Market to buy books. He had to buy at least five at a time to last him through the week. He lived alone, was not a good mixer, had few friends, and didn’t like spending time in idle chat. Those who called in the evening got through their business quickly and left. Those who didn’t show signs of leaving would be told around eight o’clock by Bipin Babu that he was under doctor’s orders to have dinner at eight-thirty. After dinner, he would rest for half an hour and then turn in with a book. This was a routine that had persisted unbroken for years. Today, Bipin Babu had the feeling that someone was observing him from close quarters. He turned around and found himself looking at a round-faced, **meek-**looking man who now broke into a smile.‘I don’t suppose you recognize me.’ Bipin Babu felt ill at ease. It didn’t seem that he had ever encountered this man before. The face seemed quite unfamiliar. ‘Have we met before?’ asked Bipin Babu. The man looked greatly surprised. ‘We met every day for a whole week. I arranged for a car to take you to the Hudroo falls. My name is Parimal Ghose.’‘Ranchi?’Now Bipin Babu realized this man was making a mistake. Bipin Babu had never been to Ranchi. He smiled and said, ‘Do you know who I am?’ The man raised his eyebrows, and said, ‘Who doesn’t know Bipin Chowdhury?’Bipin Babu turned towards the bookshelves and said, ‘You’re making a mistake. I’ve never been to Ranchi.’ The man now laughed aloud. What are you saying, Mr. Chowdhury? You had a fall in Hudroo and cut your right knee. I brought you iodine. I had fixed up a car for you to go to Netarhat the next day, but you couldn’t because of the pain in the knee. Can’t you recall anything? Someone else you know was also in Ranchi at that time. Mr. Dinesh Mukherjee. You stayed in a bungalow. You said you didn’t like hotel food. I’ll tell you more: you always carried a bag with your books in it on your sightseeing trips. Am I right or not?’Bipin Babu spoke quietly, his eyes still on the books.‘Which month in Nineteen fifty- eight are you talking about?’ The man said, ‘October.’‘No, sir,’ said Bipin Babu. ‘I spent October Nineteen fifty- eight with a friend in Kanpur. You’re making a mistake. Good day.’ But the man didn’t go, nor did he stop talking.‘Very strange. One evening I had tea with you on the veranda of your bungalow. You spoke about your family. You said you had no children, and that you had lost your wife a decade ago. When Bipin Babu had paid for the books and was leaving the shop, the man was still looking at him in utter disbelief. Bipin Babu’s car was safely parked in Bertram Street. He told the driver as he got into the car, ‘Just drive by the Ganga, will you, Sitaram.’ Driving up the Strand Road, Bipin Babu regretted having paid so much attention to the intruder. He had never been to Ranchi. He had an excellent memory. Unless he was losing his mind!

Read the sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is (5). Ignore errors of punctuation, if any.

I am sure (a)/ this dress will (b)/ look more better (c)/ on my daughter (d)/ No error (e).

((a))
a
((b))
b
((c))
c
((d))
d
((e))
e

Show Answer

Answer: ((c))

The correct answer is Option (3) i.e Part C.

Key Points

The erroneous Part C should have 'much' instead of 'more'.
The comparative form of the adjective 'good' has been used with the adverb 'more'.
Comparative forms do not need the adverb 'more'. The correct adverb here would be 'much' because comparative adjectives that end with ''er'' and ''better'' can be followed by much, a lot far, a little, a bit, slightly.
Hence, Part C is erroneous.

Correct Sentence: "I am sure this dress will look much better on my daughter."

Additional Information

Some words that are used only in positive degree and cannot be used in comparative degree or superlative degree are as follows:
Unique, universal, dead, complete, full, ideal, permanent, eternal, excellent, round, circular, parallel, impossible, flat, free, radioactive, major, minor, etc.

Scarcely had Yatin (a)/ reached his office than (b)/ he was given a lot of work(c)/, that he couldn't handle (d)/ No error (e).

((a))
a
((b))
b
((c))
c
((d))
d
((e))
e

Show Answer

Answer: ((b))

The correct answer is Part B.

Key Points

The erroneous Part B should have 'when' instead of 'than'.
With 'scarcely' the conjunction 'when' is used.
The adverbs like 'hardly, scarcely, or no sooner' can be used (often with past perfect tense) to talk about two events that happen one after another.
Therefore, 'when' should be used instead of 'than'.

Correct Sentence: 'Scarcely had Yatin reached his office when he was given a lot of work, that he couldn't handle.'

Additional Information

Three Important Structures of Conditional Sentences:

If+Present Indefinite, Simple Future
Example: If he works hard, he will surely get the job.
If+Subject+had+V3, Subject+would+have+V3.
Example: If I had seen you, I would have stopped my car.
If+Subject+V2, Subject+would+V1
Example: If I were the king, I would reform these tax laws

Khaled Hosseini is (a)/ one of that gifted (b)/ writers who turned out (c)/ one bestseller after another (d)/ No error (e).

((a))
a
((b))
b
((c))
c
((d))
d
((e))
e

Show Answer

Answer: ((b))

The correct answer is Part B.

Explanation:

The erroneous Part A should have 'those' instead of 'that'.
The noun 'writers' in the above sentence is in plural form.
Therefore, the pronoun to denote them should also be in plural instead of 'that', 'those' should be used.
Hence, Part B is erroneous.

Correct Sentence: "Khaled Hosseini is one of those gifted writers who turned out one bestseller after another. "

Varanasi is said to be (a)/ one of the oldest existed cities (b)/ in the world, along with (c)/ Jerusalem and Delhi (d)/ No error (e).

((a))
a
((b))
b
((c))
c
((d))
d
((e))
e

Show Answer

Answer: ((b))

The correct answer is Part B.

Key Points

The erroneous Part B should have 'existing' instead of 'existed'.
It is the past participle form of the verb 'exist'.
A verb cannot be used to modify a noun. Therefore, its use is incorrect here.
It should be replaced by the adjective 'existing'.
In the given question it is used to refer to something that exists now.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Correct Sentence: Varanasi is said to be one of the oldest existing cities in the world, along with Jerusalem and Delhi.

The enabling act can (a)/ provide that the instrument (b)/ is to be laid before either (c)/ of the House of Parliament (d)/ No error (e).

((a))
a
((b))
b
((c))
c
((d))
d
((e))
e

Show Answer

Answer: ((d))

The correct answer is Part D.

Key Points

The erroneous Part D should have 'Houses' instead of 'House'.
We know that 'Either of' or 'Neither of' is always followed by 'Plural Noun'.
Hence, The erroneous Part is D.

Correct Answer: The enabling act can provide that the instrument is to be laid before either of the Houses of Parliament.

Additional Information

When two subjects are connected with 'as well as, with, along with, together with, in addition to, except, rather than, accompanied by, nothing but, etc.', then the helping verb should be used according to the first subject of the sentence.
Example:
The Captain along with the sailors were drowned.

The Captain along with the sailors was drowned.

Raj walked (a)/ as faster as he could (b)/ to ensure that he does not miss (c)/ the train to work(d)/ No error (e).

((a))
a
((b))
b
((c))
c
((d))
d
((e))
e

Show Answer

Answer: ((b))

The correct answer is Part B.

Key Points

The erroneous Part B should have 'as fast as' instead of 'as faster as'.
We know that with 'as...as' adjectives and adverbs are used in Positive Degree.
Hence, 'faster' will be changed into 'fast'.

Correct Sentence: Raj walked as fast as he could to ensure that he does not miss the train to work.

Additional Information

The usage of Double Superlative is also wrong.
Example:
Jackson is the most cleverest of all the officers. (Wrong)
Jackson is the cleverest of all the officers. (Right)

One must be always (a)/ true to his word (b)/ if one wants to get (c)/ respect from everyone (d)/ No error (e).

((a))
a
((b))
b
((c))
c
((d))
d
((e))
e

Show Answer

Answer: ((b))

The correct answer is Part B.

Key Points

The erroneous Part B should have ''one's word'' instead of 'his word'.
When 'one' is used as a subject of the sentence, then the Nominative case - one and objective pronoun - oneself should be used.
Hence, Part B is erroneous.

Correct Sentence: One must be always true to one's word if one wants to get respect from everyone.

Hitesh is enough smart (a)/ to give a strong reply to (b)/ her question but he didn't (c)/ give a damn (d)/ No error (e).

((a))
a
((b))
b
((c))
c
((d))
d
((e))
e

Show Answer

Answer: ((a))

The correct answer is Part A.

Key Points

The erroneous Part A should have 'smart enough' instead of 'enough smart'.
In the given sentence 'smart' is an adjective.
And when we use enough with an adjective it is followed by that adjective.
Hence, Part A is erroneous.

Correct Sentence: Hitesh is smart enough to give a strong reply to her question but he didn't give a damn.

Additional Information

We often confuse Too with Enough.
Too means more than what is needed.
Example: John has too many friends.
Enough means sufficient.
Example: Vin is intelligent enough to do the right thing.

((a))
Garden
((b))

Museum

Key Points

Museum: A building which houses items of cultural, historical, artistic and scientific importance

It should be read as:

The award for the most well-preserved artefacts from Egypt went to the museum in Toronto.

The usage of the terms 'well-preserved' and 'artefacts' indicate to the reader what kind of an establishment one is looking for in the options.

The given question has one blank indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the word from the given options that could fit in the blank correctly.

Annie got in her car and asked the ________ to drive around the city until she said otherwise.

((a))
Chauffeur

Veteran
((e))
Valet

Answer: ((a))

Chauffeur

The correct answer is chauffeur

Key Points

Chauffeur: A person hired to drive a rented or owner car (usually on a long term basis)

It should be read as:

Annie got in her car and asked the chauffeur to drive around the city until she said otherwise.

Important Points

The mention of a 'car' and 'driving around' should give a hint to the reader about the kind of profession that is being referred to in the sentence.

Additional Information

Let's look at the meaning of the other words:

Steward: A person who looks after the passengers on a ship, brings them food and other amenities.
Sommelier: A wine steward (provides suggestions on wine pairings)
Veteran: A person who has had a long time experience in a particular field.

((d))
Investing
((e))

Investing: Give money with the expectation of receiving a profit or some material return after some time.

It should be read as:

Planting: Place a seed, a bulb or a sapling into the ground so it can grow into a tree or a plant.
Sowing: Planting a seed in soil by scattering it on the ground
Diversifying: In terms of business, branching out into various areas

Confusion Points

The reader may get confused between 'divesting' and 'investing', given that they are both related to finance. But one cannot 'divest into' something, as it is the action of taking away, not giving. Thus, the use of the preposition 'into' is helpful here.

20%
((b))
24%
((c))
15%
((d))
18%
((e))
19%

Show Answer

Answer: ((a))

20%

Let, the second discount rate = a%

Listed price = Rs. 200

1^st discount = 5%

∴ Price after 1^st discount = 200 – 200 × (5/100) = Rs. 190

2^nd discount = a%

∴ Price after 2^nd discount = 190 – 190 × (a/100) = Rs. (190 – 1.9a)

According to problem,

190 – 1.9a = 152

⇒ 1.9a = 38

⇒ a = 20

∴ 2^nd discount rate = 20%

((c))
1000
((d))
700

Show Answer

Answer: ((d))

700

Let the marked price be x.

⇒ Selling price after allowing 10% discount = x – (10% of x) = (90/100) x

⇒ Selling price after allowing 15% discount = x – (15% of x) = (85/100) x

⇒ (90/100) x – (85/100) x = 35

⇒ (5/100) x = 35

∴ x = (35 × 100)/5 = 700

A pipe can fill a tank in 6 hours. After one third of the tank is filled, three more similar pipes are opened. What is the total time taken to fill the tank completely?

((c))
4 hours 25 minutes
((d))

Show Answer

Answer: ((d))

3 hours

Time taken by pipe 1 to fill the tank = 6 hours

Time taken by pipe 1 to fill one third the tank = 2 hours

⇒ Part of the tank filled by pipe in 2 hours ${\rm{}} = {\rm{}}\frac{1}{3}$

⇒ Remaining part of the tank to be filled $= {\rm{}}1 - \frac{1}{3}{\rm{}} = {\rm{}}\frac{2}{3}$

∴ Part of the tank filled by four pipes in 1 hour ${\rm{}} = {\rm{}}4 \times \frac{1}{6} = \frac{2}{3}$

∴ Total time taken = 2 hours + 1 hour = 3 hours

Two pipes A and B can empty a tank in 24 hours and 36 hours respectively while another pipe C can fill the same tank in 6 hours. All three pipes opened for 8 hours and then both A and B is closed find the total time in which the tank will be filled.

Show Answer

Answer: ((e))

560 min

Given:

A can empty the tank in 24 hours

B can empty the tank in 36 hours

C can fill the tank in 6 hours

Concept:

Take the capacity of tank as LCM of time in which the pipes fill or empty the tank.

Calculation:

Let the capacity of tank be LCM of (24, 36 and 6) = 72 unit

A can empty the tank in 24 hours

⇒Efficiency of pipe A = 72/24 = 3 unit/hr

B can empty the tank in 36 hours

⇒Efficiency of pipe B = 72/36 = 2 unit/hr

C can fill the tank in 6 hours

⇒ Efficiency of pipe C = 72/6 = 12 unit/hr

If A, B, and C work together then the tank by them in 1 hour = 12 – 3 – 2 = 7 units

According to question all pipes work together for 8 hour

So tank filled = 8 × 7 = 56 units

Now,

Pipe A and B are closed and remaining portion of tank = 72 – 56 = 16 unit

Remaining tank is filled by C in 16/12 hours = 80 min

∴ Total time in which tank will be filled = 8 × 60 + 80 = 480 + 80 = 560 min

Show Answer

Answer: ((b))

Rs. 5850

Let the total capital be x

⇒ He invested x/3 at 3%, x/4 at 7% and 5x/12 at 3%

Total interest = Rs. 234

SI = (P × R × t)/100, where SI = simple interest, P = Principal, r = rate of interest and t = time period

[(x/3) × 3 × 1]/100 + [(x/4) × 7 × 1]/100 + [5x/12) × 3 × 1]/100 = 234

4x = 23400

∴ x = 23400/4 = Rs. 5850

A man borrowed Rs. 25000 at a compound interest of 10% per annum compounded annually for two years. If he had borrowed the sum at a simple interest of the same rate for the same time, he would have to pay:

((a))
Rs. 250 less
((b))
Rs. 500 less
((c))
Same interest
((d))
Rs. 250 more
((e))
Rs. 500 more

Show Answer

Answer: ((a))

Rs. 250 less

Compound interest on a sum of Rs. P at a rate of R% compounded annually for T years is computed as,

CI = P(1 + R/100)^T - P

Substituting values, we get,

CI = 25000(1 + 10/100)² - 25000 = 25000(1.21 - 1) = 25000 × 0.21 = Rs. 5250

If the same sum is borrowed at simple interest, then,

SI = (P × R × T)/100 = (25000 × 10 × 2)/100 = Rs. 5000

∴ If he borrowed the sum at simple interest, he would have to pay = 5250 - 5000 = Rs. 250 less

Jay’s office is 60 km away from his home. One day he travelled at certain rate and reached office 1 hour late. Next day, he increased his speed by 5 km/h and reached office on usual time. Find the usual time taken by Jay to reach office.

((e))
None of the above

Show Answer

Answer: ((a))

3 hours

GIVEN:

Distance from Home to office is 60 k.m.

Jay has to increase his speed by 5 km/h to decrease the traveling time of 1 hour.

FORMULA USED:

Distance = Speed × Time

CALCULATIONS:

Let the distance from home to the office be D

Let the older speed be S km/h, So new speed will be (S + 5) km/h

Let the usual time be t.

Case: 1

Distance = Speed × Time

When Jay goes with S speed, he takes 1 more hour than his usual time.

D = S × (t + 1) ...i)

Case: 2

When Jay increases his speed by 5 km/h, he reaches on usual time

⇒ D = (S + 5) × t ...ii)

Case 1 and Case 2 both can be compared as distance is same in both the case

⇒ S × (t + 1) = (S + 5) × t

⇒ St + S = St + 5t

⇒ S = 5t, we will put this value in equation (i)

Rewriting equation (i)

⇒ D = S × (t + 1)

⇒ D = 5t × (t + 1) = 5t² + 5t

⇒ 60 = 5t² + 5t

⇒ 12 = t² + t

⇒ t² + t –12 = 0

⇒ t² + 4t – 3t –12 = 0

⇒ t (t + 4) – 3(t + 4) = 0

⇒(t + 4) (t – 3) = 0

⇒ t = –4, t = 3

Time never can be a negative number. So t = 3 hours

∴ Regular time from home to office is 3 hours

⇒ 2 π r = 308

⇒ 22/7 × r = 154

⇒ r = 154 × 7/22 = 49

⇒ Area of the circle = πr2 = 22/7 × 49 × 49 = 7546

⇒ Area of circle with path = π(r + 7)2 = 22/7 × 56 × 56

⇒ Area of circle with path = 9856

∴ Area of path = 9856 – 7546 = 2310 sq. metre

Direction: In the question below are given two statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding the commonly known facts.

Statement:

Some net are full.

All net are smart.

Conclusions:

I. Some smart are full.

II. Some net are not full.

((a))
Only I follows
((b))
Only II follows
((c))
Either I or II follows
((d))
Neither I nor II follows
((e))
Both I and II follow

Show Answer

Answer: ((a))

Only I follows

The least possible Venn diagram is:

Conclusions:

I. Some smart are full → True (as some net are full and all net are smart so some part of full will also be smart)

II. Some net are not full → False (as some net are full but we can not say anything about the other part of net so we cannot say definitely about this)

Hence, only I follows.

Direction: In the question below two statements are given followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.

Statements:

Some eyes are not worthy.

Some eyes are lucky.

Conclusions:

I. Some worthy are lucky.

II. No worthy is lucky.

((a))
Only I follows
((b))
Only II follows
((c))
Either I or II follows
((d))
Neither I nor II follows
((e))
Both I and II follow

Show Answer

Answer: ((c))

Either I or II follows

The least possible Venn diagram is:

Conclusion:

I. Some worthy are lucky → False (As there is no direct relation given between Lucky and worthy, so we cannot say definitely about this.)

II. No worthy is lucky → False (As there is no direct relation given between Lucky and worthy, so we cannot say definitely about this.)

But here conclusions I and II form a complementary pair.

Additional InformationComplementary pair

When both the elements of conclusions are the same.
When both the conclusions are false individually.

There are two different types of complementary pairs

1) All - Some not

2) No - Some

Here, no + some forms a complementary pair.

Hence, either I or II follows.

Direction: In the question below are given three statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.

Statement:

Some pillars are not trees.

All tops are pillars.

Conclusion:

I. Some pillars are tops.

II. No top is tree.

((a))
Only I follows
((b))
Only II follows
((c))
Either I or II follows
((d))
Neither I nor II follows
((e))
Both I and II follow

Show Answer

Answer: ((a))

Only I follows

The least possible Venn diagram is:

Conclusions:

I. Some pillars are tops → True (as all tops are pillars, so some part of pillars will also be top)

II. No top is tree → False (as there is no direct relation given between top and tree, so we cannot say definitely about this)

Hence, only I follows.

Statement:

Some meter are scale.

All scales are flop.

Conclusion:

I. Some meter is not flop.

II. Some flop are meter.

((a))
Only I follows
((b))
Only II follows
((c))
Either I or II follows
((d))
Neither I nor II follows
((e))
Both I and II follow

Show Answer

Answer: ((b))

Only II follows

The least possible Venn diagram is:

Conclusions:

I. Some meter is not flop → False (as some meter are scale and all scales are flop which implies some meter are flop but we can say anything about the other part of the meter, so we cannot say definitely about this)

II. Some flop are meter → True (as some meter are scale and all scales are flop, so some part of flop will also be meter)

Hence, only II follows.

Direction: In the question below are given four statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.

Statements:

All trucks are buses.

Some buses are not bikes.

Conclusions:

I. Some trucks are bikes.

II. Some buses are trucks.

((a))
Only I follows
((b))
Only II follows
((c))
Either I or II follows
((d))
Both I and II follow
((e))
Neither I nor II follows

Show Answer

Answer: ((b))

Only II follows

The least possible Venn diagram is:

Conclusion:

I. Some trucks are bikes → False (As there is no direct relation given between truck and bike, so we cannot say definitely about this.)

II. Some buses are trucks → True (As given all trucks are buses so some part of bus will also be truck)

Hence, only II follows.
