Direction: Read the passage given below and answer the following questions.

In today's work environment, one of the key characteristics that companies look for in their employees is emotional intelligence. Research shows that emotional intelligence counts for twice as much as intelligence and technical skills combined, in determining who will be a key asset to the company. The concept of "emotional intelligence” in the workplace is the ability to understand and manage one's own emotions and understand the emotions of others so that they can ______ on shared goals. Employees who are able to handle their emotions effectively while also understanding the emotional needs of their colleagues can be greatly valuable to any company. According to a recent study, 41% of employees say they feel burned out from work, while 45% say they are emotionally drained. More importantly, around 35% of employees reported experiencing symptoms of depression often at work. Emotional intelligence is one of the qualities that helps maintain a company culture together in such an environment. It helps employees listen to one another, recognize and address problems without being rattled, and approach every situation with genuine concern for the feelings of others. Managers have a significant influence on the workplace and so, they must be the first to understand how their own emotions can affect their colleagues. Emotional intelligence in leaders demonstrates the ability to take responsibility and personal accountability and to step into stressful situations. Companies use a variety of methods to evaluate the emotional intelligence of their employees. Pre-employment assessments allow hiring managers to get the picture of a potential employee’s character and interpersonal skills as well as their cognitive and communication skills. A more thorough evaluation can be made by asking candidates about their previous work experience, especially regarding the way they handle various situations at work. Additionally, reference checks with previous employers or colleagues may be used to gauge the interpersonal interactions of a person. With the increasing automation of jobs, the only roles that cannot be fulfilled by machines will be those jobs that require situational awareness and visualizing the future, which requires an understanding of values and emotions and to empathize with others. In short, technical skills will need to be complemented by strong social and collaboration skills in the workplace.

What word can be used in place of the blank space given in the passage?

((a))
Corroborate
((b))
Considerate
((c))
Collaborate
((d))
Confiscate
((e))
Complicate

Show Answer

Answer: ((c))

Collaborate

The correct answer is Collaborate.

Key Points

Collaborate should replace the blank space in the passage.

Let us look at the sentence in which the blank space appears:

The concept of "emotional intelligence” in the workplace is the ability to understand and manage one's own emotions and understand the emotions of others so that they can ______ on shared goals.

We understand from this sentence that the ability to handle emotions better in the workplace allows employees to work together on shared goals.

Then the word we require must mean the same as 'to work together.'

From the given options, only 'collaborate' has a similar meaning to this. So, 'collaborate' is the right answer.

Thus, the sentence becomes: The concept of "emotional intelligence” in the workplace is the ability to understand and manage one's own emotions and understand the emotions of others so that they can collaborate on shared goals.

Additional Information

Let us take a look at the other options given:

Corroborate means to confirm or support a statement.

The documents corroborated his claims to the property.

She was very considerate of her neighbors.

((a))
Curious
((b))
Nervous
((c))
Tired
((d))
Happy
((e))
Sleepy

Show Answer

Answer: ((b))

Nervous

The correct answer is Nervous.

Key Points

Let us take a look at the sentence in which rattled appears:

It helps employees listen to one another, recognize and address problems without being rattled, and approach every situation with genuine concern for the feelings of others.

We can understand that employees should not become rattled when faced with problems at work.

So, being rattled is a reaction to facing a problem, which should be avoided at work.

With this assumption, we can choose 'Nervous' as the answer.

Being nervous is a reaction to facing a problem, but it is advised to avoid being nervous when faced with problems at work.

Thus, the word that is closest in meaning to the word rattled is: Nervous.

Additional Information

Let us look at the other options:

Being ill, tired, or sleepy are not the usual reactions when faced with a problem.

It is unusual for someone to become happy when faced with a problem.

Being happy can imply that one is eager to take on a challenge, and is not discouraged by the problem.
However, this reaction is approved at work, rather than being discouraged.

Which of these words means the opposite of complemented?

((a))
Praised
((b))
Supported
((c))
Contrasted
((d))
Admired
((e))
Completed

Show Answer

Answer: ((c))

Contrasted

The correct answer is Contrasted.

Key Points

The verb 'to complement' means to add some features to something to emphasize its quality.

For example: The white scarf complements the beauty of the blue gown.

Among the options given, all the words except contrasted are synonyms of complemented.

The verb 'to contrast' means to have qualities that emphasize the differences between objects.

For example: The sweetness of sugar contrasts with the sourness of lemon.

Thus, the word that means the opposite of complemented is: contrasted.

Confusion Points

The words complement and compliment are often confused with each other. They can be used as both a noun and a verb.

The noun 'complement' denotes something that adds features to an object to emphasize its quality.

The music was a perfect complement to the party.

The noun 'compliment' denotes an expression of praise or appreciation towards someone or something.

The artist received a lot of compliments for his latest masterpiece.

What word can be used instead of the phrase get the picture of?

((a))
Take a photo
((b))
Better understand
((c))
Obtain evidence
((d))
Memorize all details
((e))
See through

Show Answer

Answer: ((b))

Better understand

The correct answer is Better understand.

Key Points

The phrase 'get the picture of' can be replaced by 'better understand'.

'Get the picture' is an idiom. Here, the meaning is not to take a photograph of something.

The phrase means to understand something clearly, without the need for any further explanation.

The instruction manual allowed him to get the picture in a short time.

So we can use 'better understand' instead of 'get a picture of' in the sentence.

Thus, the sentence becomes Pre-employment assessments allow hiring managers to better understand a potential employee’s character and interpersonal skills as well as their cognitive and communication skills.

Additional Information

An idiom is a phrase whose meaning is not to be taken literally.

The meaning of idioms cannot be understood from their individual words.

For example: the idiom 'piece of cake' means something that is very easy to accomplish.

I had studied well, so the final exam was a piece of cake.

((a))
Employees require more salary for their emotional needs.
((b))
Managers must have better emotional intelligence.
((c))
Managers must never give stressful tasks to employees.
((d))
Leaders should not be personally accountable in the workplace.
((e))
Employees without work experience are unreliable.

Show Answer

Answer: ((b))

Managers must have better emotional intelligence.

The correct answer is Managers must have better emotional intelligence.

Key Points

Let us go through the passage:

Managers have a significant influence on the workplace and so, they must be the first to understand how their own emotions can affect their colleagues.
This implies that since managers have more influence with regard to other employees, managers must have better emotional intelligence than others in the workplace.

According to the passage, all the other statements are false.

Thus, the statement that is true regarding the passage is: Managers must have better emotional intelligence.

Additional Information

Lets us look at the other statements given in the options:

Employees require more salary for their emotional needs.

This is not mentioned anywhere in the passage. So this statement is not true.

Managers must never give stressful tasks to employees.

In the passage, it is mentioned that emotional intelligence allows employees to handle stressful situations at work more easily. This does not imply that managers should not assign stressful tasks to employees. So this statement is not true.

Leaders should not be personally accountable in the workplace.

The passage clearly mentions that 'Emotional intelligence in leaders demonstrates the ability to take responsibility and personal accountability and to step into stressful situations.' So this statement is not true.

Employees without work experience are unreliable.

In the passage, inquiring about work experience is one of the methods used to understand the emotional intelligence of employees. This does not imply whether employees are reliable or not based on their work experience. So this statement is not true.

Which of these functions cannot be fulfilled by machines?

((a))
Understanding values and emotions
((b))
Having situational awareness
((c))
Visualizing the future
((d))
Empathizing with others
((e))
All of the above

Show Answer

Answer: ((e))

All of the above

The correct answer is All of the above.

Key Points

Let us go through the passage in detail:

With the increasing automation of jobs, the only roles that cannot be fulfilled by machines will be those jobs that require situational awareness and visualizing the future, which requires an understanding of values and emotions and to empathize with others.

We understand that jobs that require these functions cannot be fulfilled by machines. Therefore, none of these functions can be performed by machines.

Thus, the functions that cannot be fulfilled by machines is: All of the above.

Hint

The question requires us to specify which functions cannot be performed by machines.

So we need to know the instance in which these functions are mentioned in the passage.

Sometimes, one of the options may be the opposite of the statement given in the passage.

For example: 'Ignoring values and emotions' would be given instead of 'Understanding values and emotions'.

Read the sentence and compare it with the options carefully to avoid this problem.

Which of these statements best conveys the tone of the passage according to you?

((a))

((b))
Employees need to let out their emotions at work.

Emotional issues can be reduced by automation.
((e))
Workspace relations are unprofessional.

Show Answer

Answer: ((c))

Better emotional management improves work culture.

The correct answer is Better emotional management improves work culture.

Key Points

The question requires us to identify the idea that the author tries to convey, from the given options.

From the passage, we know that the concept being discussed is emotional intelligence. The passage looks at:

The advantages of emotional intelligence to the modern workplace.
The methods used to evaluate emotional intelligence in employees.

Thus, we can identify the theme as the importance of emotions at work.

The statement 'Better emotional management improves work culture' summarises the positive ideas of the passage. The other options do not agree with the author's point of view.

Thus, the tone of the passage can best be conveyed by 'Better emotional management improves work culture.'

Additional Information

Let us take a look at the other options given:

More work makes employees more depressed.

The passage mentions employees becoming exhausted and emotionally strained due to the work. However, this is not the central theme of the passage.

Employees need to let out their emotions at work.

The passage clearly states that employees managing their emotions effectively makes them valuable to the company. This is the opposite in meaning to the statement that employees need to let out their emotions at work.

Emotional issues can be reduced by automation.

From the passage, we understand that machines cannot fulfill those functions which require an understanding of values and emotions. This does not imply that automation can solve the problem of emotional issues at work.

Workspace relations are unprofessional.

This is not mentioned or implied in the passage at all.

Which of these words is closest in meaning to the opposite of the phrase burned out?

((a))
Exhausted
((b))
Invigorated
((c))
Overworked
((d))
Tired
((e))

Show Answer

Answer: ((b))

Invigorated

The correct answer is Invigorated.

Key Points

The meaning of the phrase to be burned out is to become exhausted, usually through overworking.

In the passage, the phrase appears as part of the effects of emotional strains on employees at the workplace.

Among the options given, all the words apart from invigorated are synonyms of burned out.

Only invigorated has a meaning that is the opposite of burned out.

Invigorated means to make someone or something more energetic and lively.

A cup of coffee in the morning invigorated him.

Thus, the word that is closest in meaning to the opposite of burned out is: Invigorated.

Directions: In this question, a sentence has been divided into five parts (A), (B), (C), (D), and (E). Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error if any, will be in one part of the sentence. If there is no error, the answer is 'No error'. Ignore the error of punctuation if any.

Too often, picnic (A)/ preparation consists (B)/ of throwing together some sandwiches (C)/ and grabbing a apple. (D)/ No error (E)

((a))
A
((b))
B
((c))
C
((d))
D
((e))
E

Show Answer

Answer: ((d))

The correct answer is 'D' i.e. this part of the sentence has an error.

Key Points

In the given sentence, the noun 'apple' is an unspecified noun.
The noun 'apple' in the fourth part of the given sentence is not a specified or a particular one.
'A' and 'an' are indefinite articles, which means that they refer to, or introduce, an unspecified noun.
We use 'a' before a consonant sound and we use 'an' before a vowel sound (here, apple).
The definite article 'the' is used before singular and plural nouns when the noun is specific or particular.
''No article'' is used when we refer to general ideas, plurals, or uncountable nouns.
Therefore, the indefinite article 'an' should be used in place of the indefinite article 'a'.

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

Correct Sentence: Too often, picnic preparation consists of throwing together some sandwiches and grabbing an apple.

Additional Information

There are three articles: a, an, and the. Articles are used before nouns or noun equivalents and are a type of adjective.

RULES	COUNT NOUNS	NON-COUNT NOUNS
Specific identity not known	a, an	(no article)
Specific identity is known	the	the
All things or things in general	(no article)	(no article)

((b))
B
((c))
C
((d))
D
((e))
E

Show Answer

Answer: ((c))

The correct answer is 'C' i.e. this part of the sentence has an error.

Key Points

In the third part of the given sentence, the use of the plural form of the noun 'informations' is incorrect.
The noun 'information' is an uncountable noun i.e. we cannot count it.
Uncountable nouns usually do not have a plural form and are used with a singular verb.
For Example:
Vikas collected their luggages and had it loaded in the car.

Vikas collected their luggage and had it loaded in the car.

Therefore, the noun 'information' should be used in place of 'informations'.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Correct sentence: The conference will give us an opportunity to exchange information with other researchers.

Additional Information

The nouns given below seem plural in form but in actuality are singular:
News, billiards, summons, physics, measles, innings, etc.
For Example:
Physics is an interesting subject.

One of the (A)/ aim of Ethnography is (B)/ to contribute to an understanding (C)/ of the human race. (D)/ No error (E)

((a))
A
((b))
B
((c))
C
((d))
D
((e))
E

Show Answer

Answer: ((b))

The correct answer is 'B' i.e. this part of the sentence has an error.

Key Points

In the second part of the given sentence, the singular form of the noun 'aim' is incorrect.
The phrase ''One of'' in the given sentence is a singular term and is generally used to talk about a noun or a pronoun.
The noun or a pronoun used after the phrase ''one of'' is always in the plural form (as we are talking of one person/place/thing out of many).
For Example:
One of the key to happiness is a bad memory.

One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory.

Therefore, the plural form of the noun 'aims' should be used in place of the singular noun 'aim.'

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

Correct sentence: One of the aims of Ethnography is to contribute to an understanding of the human race.

Additional Information

The helping verb will always be in the singular form (here, is), as the helping verb agrees with ''one of'' and not with the plural noun in the sentence.
For Example:
One of the keys to happiness are a bad memory.

One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory.

If you will eat (A)/ your breakfast, you (B)/ will be allowed (C)/ to watch television. (D)/ No error (E)

((a))
A
((b))
B
((c))
C
((d))
D
((e))
E

Show Answer

Answer: ((a))

The correct answer is 'A' i.e. this part of the sentence has an error.

Key Points

In the first part of the given sentence, the use of the simple future tense ''will eat'' in the if-clause is incorrect.
The given sentence is the first conditional sentence expressing a situation in which the outcome is likely to happen in the future.
When using the first conditional we use the simple present tense in the if-clause and simple future tense in the main clause.
Structure: If + present simple, will/won’t + verb or Will/Won't + base form of the verb + if + simple present.
Therefore, the simple present tense 'eat' should be used in place of the simple future tense ''will eat''.

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

Correct sentence: If you eat your breakfast, you will be allowed to watch television.

Answer: ((c))

follows

The correct answer is 'follows'.

Key Points

The best option for the blank is "follows". The passage discusses the pattern of knowledge or financial literacy among different age groups in various countries. The term "follows a U-shaped curve" is a statistical reference and it is used to indicate that the distribution or pattern of something, in this case knowledge or financial literacy, takes the shape of a U-curve - i.e., it increases, then decreases, then increases again.
The sentence, therefore, implies that research shows that in developed countries, the pattern of knowledge or financial literacy in terms of age follows a U-shaped curve, with middle-aged adults scoring the highest, whereas in developing countries, financial literacy is best among the younger population.
The other options (abides, gained, create, develops) do not fit the context and use of the "U-shaped curve," which is specifically a term used in statistics to describe a certain type of distribution or pattern. Therefore, option 3) "follows" is the most appropriate choice to complete the sentence.
From the given explanation, it can be understood that 'follows' is the most appropriate option to fill in the blank V.
Therefore, option 3 is the correct answer.

Kill two birds with one stone: It is a phrase meaning, 'to succeed in achieving two things in a single action*'.* There is no mention about any success in the above sentence, thus, this option is incorrect.
Do a brown study: There is a use of phrase, 'a brown study' which means, 'a mood of deep absorption or thoughtfulness*'.* The use of this phrase is incorrect as per the context of the sentence as the person has not mentioned anything about his thoughts or mood.
Make a close shave: There is a use of phrase, 'a close shave' which means, 'a narrow escape from or avoidance of a situation, often an unfavorable or dangerous one*'.* There is no mention about any escape or any dangerous situation, that's why, the phrase is incorrect with the context.

Tarun can row a boat upstream for 27 km in 3 hours and downstream for 99 km in 3 hours. If Tarun rows a distance of 42 km in still water and a distance of 66 km downstream, what is the total time taken?

((a))
6 hours
((b))
2 hours
((c))
5 hours
((d))
4 hours
((e))
3 hours

Show Answer

Answer: ((d))

4 hours

Given:

Distance travel in 3 hours (Upstream) = 27 km

Distance travel in 3 hours (Downstream) = 99 km

Concept Used:

Upstream Speed = B - S

Downstream Speed = B + S

Time (T) = Distance (D)/Speed(S)

B = Speed of Boat

S = Speed of Stream

Calculation:

According to the question, we get

27/(B - S) = 3

⇒ B - S = 9 km/h ---(i)

99/(B + S) = 3

⇒ B + S = 33 km/h ---(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

B = 21 km/h

S = 12 km/h

According to the question, we get

Total Time taken = Time taken in Downstream + Time taken in Still water

⇒ {66/(21 + 12)} + (42/21)

⇒ (66/33) + (42/21)

⇒ (2 + 2) hours

⇒ 4 hours

∴ The total time taken by boat is 4 hours.

In the examination, Raushan got 25% marks and failed by 64 marks. If he had got 40% marks he would have secured 32 marks more than the pass marks. Find the percentage of pass marks in the examination.

((b))
35%
((c))
40%
((d))
45%
((e))
None of these

Show Answer

Answer: ((b))

35%

Given:

If Raushan got 25% marks and failed by 64 marks and he had 40% marks he would have secured 32 marks more than the pass marks.

Formula used:

If the passing marks is 224 and total marks is 640,

Percentage passing marks = (Passing marks/Total marks) × 100

Calculation:

Let the total marks = x

According to question,

X × 25% + 64 = X × 40% - 32

⇒ X × 40% - X × 25% = 64 + 32

⇒ X × 15% = 96

⇒ X × (15/100) = 96

⇒ X = 640

So, passing marks = X × 25% + 64 = 640 × 25% + 64 = 640 × (25/100) + 64 = 224 marks

Percentage pass marks = (224/640) × 100 = 35%

∴ Percentage of pass marks is 35%

Shortcut Trick

25% + 64 = 40% – 32

⇒ 15% = 96

⇒ 100% = (96/15%) × 100%

⇒ 100% = 640

And, 10% = 64

Percentage of pass marks = 25% + 64

⇒ 25% + 10% = 35%

∴ Percentage of pass marks is 35%

An article when sold at a discount of Rs. 100, the shopkeeper earns the profit of 140% and if it is sold at no discount, then profit will be 220%. Find the CP of the article.

((a))
Rs. 120
((b))
Rs. 130
((c))
Rs. 125
((d))
Rs. 140
((e))
RS. 145

Show Answer

Answer: ((c))

Rs. 125

Given:

Discount = Rs. 100

Shopkeeper earns profit = 140%

Profit% if sold at no discount = 220%

Calculation:

Let the CP be 100%

SP if profit is 140% = 240%

SP if profit is 220% = 320%

Difference in SP = Discount of Rs. 100

So, 220% – 140% = Rs. 100

⇒ 80% = Rs. 100

Then 100% = Rs. (100/80) × 100

⇒ Rs. 125

∴ CP of the article is Rs. 125

((c))
Rs.4534
((d))

Show Answer

Answer: ((a))

Rs.4634

Given:

Principal = Rs. 14000, S.I. = Rs. 1260, Rate= 3% per annum, Time = t years

Formula used:

S.I. = (P × R × T)/100

C.I. = P[(1 + (r/100))^t – 1]

Calculation:

1260 = (14000 × 3 × t)/100

⇒ t = 3 years

C.I. = 14000 [(1 + (10/100))³ – 1]

⇒ 14000 [(11/10)³ – 1]

⇒ 14000 × (331/1000)

⇒ Rs.4634

Show Answer

Answer: ((e))

4 : 6 : 5

Given:

A + B = 45,000

C = 30,000 after 3 months

Calculation:

A : B = 2 : 3

⇒ Investment of A = (2 / 5) × 45,000

⇒ Investment of A = 18,000

⇒ Investment of B = 45,000 – 18,000

⇒ Investment of B = 27,000

Now, calculating profit sharing ratio

⇒ (18,000 × 12) : (27,000 × 12) : (30,000 × 9)

⇒ 24 : 36 : 30

⇒ 12 : 18 : 15

⇒ 4 : 6 : 5

∴ A, B and C will share profit in ratio of 4 : 6 : 5

A : B : C

⇒ (45,000 × 2 × 12 / 5) : (45,000 × 3 × 12 / 5) : (30,000 × 9)

⇒ 24 : 36 : 30

⇒ 12 : 18 : 15

∴ A, B and C will share profit in ratio of 4 : 6 : 5

Male	Female	Male	Female	Male	Female	Male	Female
800	200	250	250	825	175	800	700

Calculation:

Total number of unemployed present = (25/100) × 4000 = 1000

⇒ Number of male unemployed present = 1000 – [(20/100) × 1000] = 800

Number of female engineers present = (1500/15) × 7 = 700

⇒ Required Ratio = 800 : 700 = 8 : 7

∴ The ratio between the number of unemployed males present at the festival to the number of female engineers present at the festival is 8 : 7.

Male	Female	Male	Female	Male	Female	Male	Female
800	200	250	250	825	175	800	700

Calculation:

Total number of teachers present = (25/100) × 4000 = 1000

⇒ Female teachers present = 1000 – [(82.5/100) × 1000] = 175

Total number of doctors present = (12.5/100) × 4000 = 500

⇒ Female doctors present = (50/100) × 500 = 250

⇒ Change = 250 – 175 = 75

⇒ Percentage change = (75/250) × 100 = 30%

Male	Female	Male	Female	Male	Female	Male	Female
800	200	250	250	825	175	800	700

Total number of doctors present = (12.5/100) × 4000 = 500

Calculation:

⇒ Male doctors present = (50/100) × 500 = 250

⇒ Female doctors present = (50/100) × 500 = 250

Total number of unemployed present = (25/100) × 4000 = 1000

⇒ Female unemployed present = [(20/100) × 1000] = 200

⇒ Male unemployed present = [(100 – 20)/100) × 1000] = 800

⇒ Required difference = (250 + 800) – (250 + 200) = 600

∴ The required difference is 600.

Show Answer

Answer: ((b))

x < y

I. x² – 26x + 165 = 0

⇒ x² – 11x – 15x + 165 = 0

⇒ x (x – 11) – 15 (x – 11) = 0

⇒ (x – 11) (x – 15) = 0

⇒ x = 11, 15

II. y² – 38y + 357 = 0

⇒ y (y – 17) – 21 (y – 17) = 0

⇒ (y – 21) (y – 17) = 0

⇒ y = 21, 17

Comparison between x and y (via Tabulation):

Value of x	Value of y	Relation
11	21	x < y

Show Answer

Answer: ((b))

x ≤ y

Solution:

x² + 36x + 180 = 0

⇒ x² + (30 + 6)x + 180

⇒ x² + 30x + 6x + 180

⇒ x (x+ 30) + 6 (x + 30)

⇒ (x + 30) (x + 6)

Then x = -30 or x = -6

y² - 18y - 144 = 0

⇒ y² - (24 - 6)y - 144

⇒ y² - 24y + 6y - 144

⇒ y (y - 24) + 6 (y - 24)

⇒ (y - 24) (y + 6)

Then y = 24 or y = -6

Comparison between x and y (via Tabulation):

Value of x	Value of y	Relation
-30	24	x < y

If the ratio of alcohol and water in a mixture of 85 litres is 11 ∶ 6. How much water should be added to make the ratio 5 ∶ 3?

((a))
2 litres
((b))
3 litres
((c))
4 litres
((d))
5 litres
((e))
6 litres

Show Answer

Answer: ((b))

3 litres

Shortcut Trick

Initial Ratio (Alcohol : Water) = 11 : 6 (Total units = 17)

Final Ratio (Alcohol : Water) = 5 : 3

Equate Alcohol: multiply initial by 5 and final by 11 → New Ratios: 55 : 30 and 55 : 33.

Total initial 85 units = 85 litres ⇒ 1 unit = 1 litre.

Water added = 33 − 30 = 3 units = 3 litres.

∴ The correct answer is 3 litres.

Alternate Method

Given: Total volume = 85 litres, Initial ratio = 11 : 6, Final ratio = 5 : 3.

Formula: Value of one part = Total Volume ÷ Sum of ratio parts.

⇒ Initial Alcohol = (11/17) × 85 = 55 litres.

⇒ Initial Water = (6/17) × 85 = 30 litres.

⇒ Let x litres of water be added.

⇒ New Alcohol / New Water = 55 / (30 + x) = 5 / 3.

⇒ 165 = 5 × (30 + x)

⇒ 165 = 150 + 5x

⇒ 5x = 15 ⇒ x = 3 litres.

∴ The correct answer is 3 litres.

Additional Information

Constant Quantity Concept

When only one component (e.g., water) is added to a mixture, the quantity of the other component (e.g., alcohol) remains constant. Equating the constant part in both ratios simplifies calculations.

Alligation Method

Can be used by taking water concentration. Initial water (6/17) and added pure water (1/1) are mixed to get a final concentration of 3/8.

Replacement vs Addition

In addition, total volume increases. In replacement, a portion of the mixture is removed and the same volume of a component is added, keeping total volume constant.

Show Answer

Answer: ((a))

36 hours

Given:

A filled the tank = 8 hours

Formula:

(A + B + C)’s 1 hour work = 1/A + 1/B + 1/C

Calculation:

Suppose pipe A alone takes x hours to fill the tank.

Then, pipes B will take x/2 and C will take x/6 hours respectively to fill the tank.

⇒ 1/x + 2/x + 6/x = 1/8

⇒ 9/x = 1/8

⇒ x = 72 hrs.

B will take = 72/2 = 36 hours.

∴ Pipe B alone take 36 hours to fill the tank.

Perimeter of square field – Side of square = 48 cm

Side of square field B = Side of square field A – 4 cm

Formula used:

Area of square field = (side)²

Perimeter of square field = 4 × (side)

Calculation:

Perimeter of square field – Side of square = 48 cm

⇒ (4 × Side) – Side = 48

⇒ 3 × Side = 48

⇒ Side = 16 cm

⇒ Side of square field B = 16 cm – 4 cm

⇒ 12 cm

Area of square field B = (12)²

⇒ 144 cm²

(In case 1 T lives immediate right of P. So, Case 1 is invalid)

Floors / Flats	CASE 2
Flat 1	Flat 2
4	R	S
3	T	P
