The correct answer is Option 2, i.e., The company has decided to invest heavily in renewable energy sources to reduce carbon emissions.

Key Points

• Option 1: "Every men and women in the country must contribute to the development of the nation."
• The phrase "Every men and women" is grammatically incorrect. It should be "Every man and woman" because "every" is followed by a singular noun.
• Option 2: "The company has decided to invest heavily in renewable energy sources to reduce carbon emissions."
• This sentence is grammatically correct and contextually appropriate. It conveys a clear and meaningful idea without any errors.
• Option 3: "The school principal, along with the senior teachers, are planning a historical field trip."
• The subject "The school principal" is singular, and the phrase "along with the senior teachers" is additional information. Therefore, the verb should be "is" instead of "are."
• Option 4: "She speaks the French language fluent, making her perfect for the international translation job."
• The word "fluent" is incorrect in this context. It should be "fluently," an adverb modifying the verb "speaks."
• Option 5: "Although the uphill journey was exhausting, but they thoroughly enjoyed the picturesque landscapes."
• The conjunction "but" is unnecessary because "although" already indicates contrast. Using both creates redundancy.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Additional Information

• Subject-verb agreement: The verb must agree with the subject in number (singular/plural). For example, in Option 3, "is" should be used instead of "are."
• Adjective vs. Adverb: Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. For example, in Option 4, "fluently" is the correct adverbial form.
• Conjunction usage: Avoid redundancy by not using two conjunctions that serve the same purpose, as seen in Option 5.

The correct answer is Option 3, i.e., The majestic golden eagle soared effortlessly above the snow-capped mountain peaks.

Key Points

• Option 1: "The department manager asked the team members to divide the tasks between the three of them" is incorrect because "between" is used for two entities, whereas "among" should be used for more than two.
• Option 2: "Neither of the external candidates were deemed suitable for the vacant managerial position" is incorrect because "neither" is singular, so the verb should be "was," not "were."
• Option 3: "The majestic golden eagle soared effortlessly above the snow-capped mountain peaks" is correct as it is grammatically accurate and contextually appropriate.
• Option 4: "It is high time you start preparing for your final university examinations" is incorrect because "high time" requires the past tense, so it should be "started."
• Option 5: "My family and I have visited the Taj Mahal last year during our summer vacation" is incorrect because "last year" refers to a specific past time, so the present perfect tense "have visited" should be replaced by the simple past "visited."

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

Additional Information

• Rule for "between" vs. "among": Use "between" for two entities and "among" for more than two.
• Singular and Plural Agreement: Words like "neither" and "either" are singular and must take singular verbs.
• High Time Usage: The phrase "it is high time" is followed by a past tense verb to indicate urgency.
• Present Perfect vs. Simple Past: Present perfect is used for actions with an unspecified time in the past, while simple past is used for actions at a specific time in the past.

The correct answer is Option 1, i.e., "The children were playing joyfully in the garden when it suddenly started raining."

Key Points

• Option 1 is grammatically and contextually correct. It uses the past continuous tense ("were playing") to describe an ongoing action, followed by the past simple tense ("started raining") to indicate an event that interrupted the ongoing action. This structure is appropriate and clear.
• Option 2 is incorrect because "did not wrote" is grammatically wrong. The correct form is "did not write" (base verb after "did").
• Option 3 is incorrect because "Unless you do not" is a double negative and creates confusion. The correct phrasing should be "Unless you apologize for your rude behavior, I will not forgive you."
• Option 4 is incorrect because "The amount of students" is incorrect usage. The correct term is "The number of students," as "students" is countable.
• Option 5 is incorrect because "the more intelligent" is incorrect in this context. The correct phrase should be "the most intelligent," as it compares one student to all others in the class.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

Additional Information

• Past Continuous Tense: Used to describe actions that were ongoing in the past, often interrupted by another action in the past.
• Past Simple Tense: Used to describe completed actions in the past.
• Common Errors: Avoid double negatives, incorrect verb forms, and inappropriate usage of quantifiers like "amount" for countable nouns.

The correct answer is Option 3, i.e., "The committee have finally reached a unanimous decision regarding the new environmental policy."

Key Points

• The error lies in the verb agreement with the subject "The committee."
• "Committee" is a collective noun, and whether it takes a singular or plural verb depends on how it is being used.
• When the committee is acting as a single entity, a singular verb (e.g., "has") is used.
• In this case, the sentence indicates that the committee reached a single unanimous decision, so it should use the singular verb "has."

Correct sentence: "The committee has finally reached a unanimous decision regarding the new environmental policy."

Additional Information

• Collective Nouns: These nouns refer to groups of people or things (e.g., team, family, committee).
• They take:
• Singular verbs: When the group is acting as one unit (e.g., "The family is having dinner.").
• Plural verbs: When the members of the group are acting individually (e.g., "The family are arguing about dinner.").
• In this question, the committee is acting as a single entity, so the singular verb "has" is appropriate.

The correct answer is Option 2, i.e., Neither the manager nor the employees was prepared for the sudden market crash.

Key Points

• The sentence contains a grammatical error in subject-verb agreement.
• When using "Neither...nor" as a conjunction, the verb agrees with the subject closest to it.
• In this case, the subject "employees" is plural, so the verb should also be plural.
• The correct form of the sentence is: "Neither the manager nor the employees were prepared for the sudden market crash."

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Additional Information

• Option 1: "The ancient clock tower chimed midnight, echoing through the deserted cobblestone streets." This sentence is correct as it uses proper grammar and conveys its meaning clearly.
• Option 3: "Despite the heavy downpour, the passionate fans remained in the stadium to cheer." This is grammatically correct and contextually appropriate.
• Option 4: "The intricate tapestry hung proudly on the wall, showcasing centuries of cultural heritage." This sentence is error-free and effectively conveys the intended meaning.
• Option 5: "Reading extensively helps individuals broaden their vocabulary and improve their cognitive abilities." This sentence is also correct in terms of grammar and context.

The correct answer is Option 3.

Key Points

• Option 3 contains a grammatical error in the parallel structure of the list.
• Parallel structure requires all items in a list to have the same grammatical form.
• In the given sentence, "playing the guitar," "writing poetry," and "to paint beautiful watercolor landscapes" are listed together.
• While the first two items are in the gerund form (playing, writing), the third item is in the infinitive form (to paint), which disrupts the parallel structure.
• The correct sentence should be: "He enjoys playing the guitar, writing poetry, and painting beautiful watercolor landscapes."

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

Additional Information

• Option 1: "A gentle breeze rustled the autumn leaves, signaling the imminent arrival of winter." — This sentence is grammatically correct and contextually appropriate.
• Option 2: "The artisanal bakery at the corner sells the most delicious sourdough bread in town." — This sentence is also correct and free of errors.
• Option 4: "Thoroughly exhausted from the long journey, the travelers immediately collapsed onto their beds." — This sentence has no errors and is grammatically accurate.
• Option 5: "The sudden technological advancements have drastically altered how we communicate daily." — This sentence is grammatically correct and contextually valid.

The correct answer is Option (3) i.e. ABDCE

Key Points

• The sentence begins with the subject "Technological advancements", which is correctly indicated by part (A).
• Following the subject, "have revolutionized communication," (AB) continues the logical sequence, making it clear what advancements have done.
• The next part, "making it faster and" (D), adds detail about the impact of these advancements.
• Then comes "more accessible for" (C), which further elaborates on the benefit.
• Ending with "people around the world" (E) completes the sentence by specifying who benefits.

Therefore, the correct answer is ABDCE.

Additional Information

• Option 1 (BACDE): This option starts with "have revolutionized communication," which is grammatically incorrect without a subject.
• Option 2 (ABECD): This option places "more accessible for" before "making it faster," which disrupts the logical flow.
• Option 4 (CBDAE): This option begins with "more accessible for," which cannot stand alone as the subject.
• Option 5 (EBCAD): This option starts with "people around the world," which makes the sentence incomplete and awkward.

The correct answer is 'Option 1 (ABEDC)'.

 

Key Points

• A (Advances in medical science) introduces the subject.
• B (have led to) starts the predicate, indicating what the advances have caused.
• E (the development of) continues the explanation.
• D (innovative treatments and) specifies what has been developed.
• C (improved patient outcomes.) concludes the sentence by stating the results.

Therefore, the correct sequence is: A B E D C.

 

Complete Sentence: Advances in medical science have led to the development of innovative treatments and improved patient outcomes.

 

Additional Information

• This sequence logically and grammatically connects all segments, making a coherent sentence about the impact of medical science advancements.

The correct answer is 'Option 4 (EBCDA)'.

 

Key Points

• E (The chef’s culinary expertise) introduces the subject of the sentence.
• B (was evident in) starts the predicate, indicating what was clear or obvious.
• C (the exquisite flavours) describes one area of expertise.
• D (and artistic presentation) adds another aspect with "and".
• A (of each dish served.) completes the sentence by specifying the context.

Therefore, the correct sequence is: E B C D A.

 

Complete Sentence: The chef’s culinary expertise was evident in the exquisite flavours and artistic presentation of each dish served.

 

Additional Information

• This sequence forms a logical and grammatically correct sentence, clearly describing how the chef's expertise was demonstrated.

The correct answer is 'A-R.'

Key Points

• From the given options, only the combination of phrases 'A-R' creates the correct sentence.
• Let's look at the sentences:
• 'A-R' talks about someone who do not like the other person because she is too tall and also she smokes too much.
• 'Furthermore' means ''in addition; besides'' used to introduce a fresh consideration in an argument. (भी; के अतिरिक्त)
  

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

The correct answer is 'B-R and C-P.'

Key Points

• From the given options, only the combination of phrases 'B-R and C-P' creates correct sentences.
• Let's look at the sentences:
• 'B-R' talks about Colm Henry who is unquestionably (निश्चित रूप से) Ireland's best known rock photographer, in spite of the fact that he by no means limits (परिसीमित करना) his skills to the music area.
• 'Although' means ''in spite of the fact that''. (यद्यपि, हालाँकि)
• 'C-P' says because a politician never believes what he says, he is surprised when others believe him.
• 'Since' means ''because; as''. (क्‍योंकि; यद्यपि)
  

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

The correct answer is 'No correction required.'

Key Points

• In the underlined segment of the given sentence, no correction is required.
• The subject 'company' in the given sentence is a singular subject.
• The singular form of the verb 'provides' is used with the singular subject 'company'.
• The article 'a' is used before nouns or adjectives (here, styrofoam) that start with a consonant sound.
• The to-infinitive is used correctly for expressing the purpose of something.
• Thus no change is required in the given sentence.
  

Hence, the correct answer is option 5.

Correct sentence: The company provides a styrofoam cushion to protect the tablets during shipping.

<br>

Additional Information

• Subjects and verbs must agree with one another in number (singular or plural).
• Thus, if a subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if the subject is plural, its verb must also be plural.

The correct answer is 'On the cot beside her.'

Key Points

• In the underlined part of the given sentence, the use of the preposition 'besides' is incorrect.
• The preposition 'besides' means ''in addition to'' or ''apart from'' somebody or something.
• Example: Besides being a singer, she is a good dancer.
• ​The given sentence is talking about a boy who sat down next to a girl on the cot. (Cot means Sofa or Couch)
• Therefore, the preposition 'beside' should be used in place of the preposition 'besides'.
• The preposition 'beside' means ''close to'' or ''next to'' somebody or something.
• Example: He sat down beside me.
  

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

Correct Sentence: He sat down on the cot beside her and put an arm around her shoulders.

The correct answer is: Option 2 (B-C).

Key Points

• The word "Deficiency" means a lack or shortage of something essential, especially nutrients, vitamins, or minerals. (कमी / अभाव)
• Example: Vitamin D deficiency can weaken bones and muscles.
• "Fatigue" means extreme tiredness resulting from physical or mental exertion or illness. (थकान)
• Example: Continuous work without rest often leads to physical fatigue.
• The phrases "chronic deficiency caused by severe nutritional fatigue" are not logically appropriate because nutritional deficiency causes chronic fatigue, not the other way around.
• After interchanging B (deficiency) and C (fatigue), the sentence becomes:
  

<br>

"The physician prescribed an effective regimen to relieve chronic fatigue caused by severe nutritional deficiency and prolonged physical exertion."

• This revised sentence is grammatically correct and logically meaningful.
• Therefore, the correct answer is: Option 2 (B-C).

Additional Information

Here are the remaining options explained:

• Option 1 (A-B): Interchanging effective and deficiency results in "an deficiency regimen" and "chronic effective", which are grammatically incorrect. (प्रभावी / कमी)
• Option 3 (C-D): Interchanging fatigue and exertion gives "nutritional exertion" and "physical fatigue". The phrase "nutritional exertion" is illogical, so the sentence remains incorrect. (थकान / परिश्रम)
• Option 4 (A-C): Interchanging effective and fatigue produces "a fatigue regimen" and "nutritional effective", which are grammatically incorrect. (प्रभावी / थकान)
• Option 5 (No interchange required): The original sentence contains the illogical construction "chronic deficiency caused by severe nutritional fatigue". Therefore, this option is incorrect.

The correct answer is: Option 4 (C-D).

Key Points

• The word "Flow" means the smooth and logical progression of ideas in a piece of writing. (प्रवाह)

Key Points

To answer this question, let's first understand the meanings and usage of the word "window":

• window - an opening in the wall or roof of a building or vehicle, fitted with glass in a frame to admit light or air and allow people to see out. (खिड़की)
• For Example: He looked out of the window at the rain.
• window (figurative) - an interval or opportunity for action; a gap in a schedule. (अवसर या समय का अंतराल)
• For Example: There is a small window of opportunity to resolve the conflict peacefully.

 

Now, let's break down the sentences to analyze the usage of the word "window":

• A. The doctor opened the window to let in some fresh air.
• The word "window" is used correctly here. It refers to the physical opening in a room used for ventilation.
• B. She saw an opportunity to advance in her career as a window in her busy schedule.
• The word "window" is used incorrectly here due to the sentence structure. While "window" can mean a gap in a schedule, one would say "She saw a window in her busy schedule as an opportunity..." rather than saying the opportunity itself was a window in the schedule. The phrasing is logically flawed.
• C. The singer performed a beautiful ballad through the closed window.
• The word "window" is used correctly here. It refers to the physical structure. Although performing through a "closed" window might be unusual for sound quality, the word itself is used accurately to denote the object.
• Out of the given sentences, A and C use the word "window" in a semantically and grammatically correct context.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Both A & C."

The correct answer is: Option 1 (Only A).

Key Points

• The word "omen" means a sign or event that is believed to indicate or predict a future event, especially something good or bad. (शगुन/अपशकुन/पूर्व संकेत)
• Example: The sudden appearance of a rainbow was considered a good omen for the wedding.
• Sentence A accurately uses the word "omen" because a black cat crossing someone's path is traditionally considered a sign or omen of bad luck. (अपशकुन)
• Example: The villagers considered the unusual storm an omen of trouble.
• Sentence B does not accurately use "omen". The promotion itself can be considered evidence or an indication of his hard work paying off, but the word "omen" is generally used for a sign believed to predict a future event rather than to describe a direct result.
• Sentence C is incorrect because buying a new car is an action and does not itself serve as a sign or prediction of an upcoming road trip. The word "omen" must refer to something regarded as a sign of a future event.
• Hence, only sentence A accurately conveys the meaning of the word "omen".

Therefore, the correct answer is: Option 1 (Only A).

Additional Information

Here are the other options explained along with their meanings:

• Option 2: Only B** (केवल B): Incorrect because sentence B does not use "omen" in its appropriate sense.**
• Option 3: Both A & B** (A और B दोनों): Incorrect because only sentence A accurately uses "omen".**
• Option 4: Both B & C** (B और C दोनों): Incorrect because neither B nor C accurately conveys the intended meaning of "omen".**
• Option 5: None of these** (इनमें से कोई नहीं): Incorrect because sentence A correctly uses "omen".**

The correct answer is Option 3.

Let the total number of students in IIM A be 100a and in IIM B be 100b.

For IIM A:

Number of students in Engineering = 60a

Number of students in Commerce = 18a

Number of students in Arts = 12a

Number of students in Others = 10a

For IIM B:

Number of students in Engineering = 55b

Number of students in Commerce = 20b

Number of students in Arts = 15b

Number of students in Others = 10b

Let total intake in IIM A = 100a and in IIM B = 100b.

Given, total students in IIM A = 600

100a = 600

So, a = 6

ATQ, Engineering students in IIM A are 80 less than the total intake of students in IIM B.

60a = 100b – 80

Substitute (a = 6):

60 x 6 = 100b – 80

360 = 100b – 80

100b = 440

So, b = 4.4

Required sum of Commerce students = 18a + 20b

= 18 x 6 + 20 x 4.4

= 108 + 88 = 196

Let the total number of students in IIM A be 100a and in IIM B be 100b.

For IIM A:

Number of students in Engineering = 60a

Number of students in Commerce = 18a

Number of students in Arts = 12a

Number of students in Others = 10a

For IIM B:

Number of students in Engineering = 55b

Number of students in Commerce = 20b

Number of students in Arts = 15b

Number of students in Others = 10b

ATQ, {60a - 55b}/{18a – 20b} = {9/1}

Or, 60a – 55b = 9(18a – 20b)

Or, 60a – 55b = 162a – 180b

Or, 125b = 102a

Or, {a/b} = {125/102}

Ratio of total intake =100a:100b = a: b =125:102

Let the total number of students in IIM A be 100a and in IIM B be 100b.

For IIM A:

Number of students in Engineering = 60a

Number of students in Commerce = 18a

Number of students in Arts = 12a

Number of students in Others = 10a

For IIM B:

Number of students in Engineering = 55b

Number of students in Commerce = 20b

Number of students in Arts = 15b

Number of students in Others = 10b

Let total intake in IIM A = 400 and IIM B = 300.

Total intake combined =400 + 300 = 700

Other than Engineering in IIM A = 40%of 400=160

Other than Engineering in IIM B = 45% of 300=135

Total students from backgrounds other than Engineering =160+135=295

Required percentage = {295/700} x 100 = 42.14%

Let the total number of students in IIM A be 100a and in IIM B be 100b.

For IIM A:

Number of students in Engineering = 60a

Number of students in Commerce = 18a

Number of students in Arts = 12a

Number of students in Others = 10a

For IIM B:

Number of students in Engineering = 55b

Number of students in Commerce = 20b

Number of students in Arts = 15b

Number of students in Others = 10b

Let total intake of IIM A = 600x and IIM B = 500x.

Arts students in IIM A =12% of 600x = 72x

Arts students in IIM B =15% of 500x = 75x

Average = {72x + 75x}/2 = 73.5x

ATQ,

73.5x = 147

Or, x = 2

Difference in total intake =600x – 500x =100x =100 x 2 = 200

Let the total number of students in IIM A be 100a and in IIM B be 100b.

For IIM A:

Number of students in Engineering = 60a

Number of students in Commerce = 18a

Number of students in Arts = 12a

Number of students in Others = 10a

For IIM B:

Number of students in Engineering = 55b

Number of students in Commerce = 20b

Number of students in Arts = 15b

Number of students in Others = 10b

Total intake in IIM A = 100a = 400

So, a = 4

"Others" students in IIM A = 10a = 10 x 4 = 40

Engineering students in IIM B = 40 + 345 = 385

Since Engineering students constitute 55% of the total intake in IIM B,

55b = 385

So, b = 7

Total intake in IIM B = 100b = 100 x 7 = 700

Copper in X kg of alloy P = 5X/8 kg

Zinc in X kg of alloy P = 3X/8 kg

Copper in 9 kg of alloy Q = 9 × (7/9) = 7 kg

Zinc in 9 kg of alloy Q = 9 × (2/9) = 2 kg

Copper in 15 kg of alloy R = 15 × (4/5) = 12 kg

Zinc in 15 kg of alloy R = 15 × (1/5) = 3 kg

Total copper in final mixture = (5X/8) + 7 + 12 = (5X/8) + 19

Total zinc in final mixture = (3X/8) + 2 + 3 = (3X/8) + 5

ATQ, [(5X/8) + 19] ÷ [(3X/8) + 5] = 37/14

Or, (70X/8) + 266 = (111X/8) + 185

Or, 81 = 41X/8

Or, X = 648/41 ≈ 15.8 kg

So, X ≈ 15.8 kg

Side of equilateral triangular field = (24/3) = 8 m

Area of square field = (40/3)² = 1600/9 = 177.778 sq.m

Required difference = 177.778 − 27.712 = 150.066 ≈ 150 sq.m

Let total number of students = 100x

Participated in all clubs = 10x

Participated in none = 10x

Remaining = 100x − 20x = 80x

Participated in only 1 club = 25% of 80x = 20x

Participated in 4 clubs = 20% of 80x = 16x

Remaining students (participated in 2 clubs) = 80x − (20x + 16x) = 44x

ATQ, 44x = 264

x = (264/44) = 6

Total number of students = 100 × 6 = 600

Number of doctors in A = 8 × 200 + 120 = 1720

Given, Doctors in A = 5(M − 60)

1720 = 5(M – 60)

344 = M – 60

M = 404

Therefore, Doctors in C = 1000 + 404 = 1404

 

Calculations: 

Doctors in city Q and R together = 2600 + 1404 = 4004

Required difference = 4004 – 1600 = 2404

Amount (A) = Rs. 10580

Rate = 15% p.a.

Time = 2 years

We know,

A = P(1 + R/100)²

10580 = P(115/100)²

10580 = P x 529/400

 P = 20 x 400 = Rs. 8000

168 - 26 = 142

142 - 24 = 118

118 - 22 = 96

96 - 20 = 76

76 - 18 = 58

Hence, option D.

20 x 1 - 2 = 18

18 x 2 - 4 = 32

32 x 3 - 6 = 90

90 x 4 - 8 = 352

352 x 5 - 10 = 1750

Hence, option B.

145 x 0.5 - 0.5 = 72

72 x 1 - 1 = 71

71 x 1.5 - 1.5 = 105

105 x 2 - 2 = 208

208 x 2.5 - 2.5 = 517.5

Hence, option B.

Increase in total sum = (66 - 36) + (55 - 45) = 30 + 10 = 40

Increase in average = (40/10) = 4

Let distance = D km, scheduled speed = V km/hr, scheduled time = T hours

D = V × T

Case 1:

D = (V + 15) (T − 3)

VT = VT − 3V + 15T − 45

15T − 3V = 45

5T − V = 15 ------- (i)

Case 2:

D = (V − 15) (T + 5)

VT = VT + 5V − 15T − 75

5V − 15T = 75

V − 3T = 15

V = 3T + 15

Substitute in (i):

5T − (3T + 15) = 15

2T = 30

T = 15

V = 3 × 15 + 15 = 60 km/hr

Distance = V × T = 60 × 15 = 900 km

From the given data:

Total A on Monday and Thursday = 360 + 600 = 960

Total C on Monday and Thursday = 300 + Y

ATQ,

960 ÷ (300 + Y) = (8/5)

300 + Y = (960 × 5) ÷ 8

300 + Y = 600

Y = 300

Total B on Tuesday and Wednesday = 300 × 2 = 600

(Y − X) + 360 = 600

300 − X + 360 = 600

660 − X = 600

X = 60

Using X = 60 and Y = 300:

Printer A on Tuesday = X + 40 = 60 + 40 = 100

Printer B on Tuesday = Y − X = 300 − 60 = 240

Printer C on Thursday = Y = 300

Printer A on Tuesday = 100

Printer B on Tuesday = 240

Average = (100 + 240) ÷ 2 = 170

From the given data:

Total A on Monday and Thursday = 360 + 600 = 960

Total C on Monday and Thursday = 300 + Y

ATQ,

960 ÷ (300 + Y) = (8/5)

300 + Y = (960 × 5) ÷ 8

300 + Y = 600

Y = 300

Total B on Tuesday and Wednesday = 300 × 2 = 600

(Y − X) + 360 = 600

300 − X + 360 = 600

660 − X = 600

X = 60

Using X = 60 and Y = 300:

Printer D on Wednesday = X + Y = 60 + 300 = 360

Printer C on Wednesday = 360

Required Difference = 360 − 360 = 0

Ratio in 2017 = (7/10) :(5/6) ):(4/5) = 21:25:24

Let their salaries in 2017 be 21x, 25x, and 24x respectively.

In 2018: (21x + 7000) :(25x + 5000) :(24x + 8000) = 7:8:8

So, (21x + 7000) /(25x + 5000) = (7/8)

Or, 8 X (21x + 7000) = 7 X (25x + 5000)

Or, 168x + 56000 = 175x + 35000

Or, 7x = 21000

Or, x = 3000

Salary of Manish in 2017 = 24x = 24 × 3000 = 72000

From the given data:

Total A on Monday and Thursday = 360 + 600 = 960

Total C on Monday and Thursday = 300 + Y

ATQ,

960 ÷ (300 + Y) = (8/5)

300 + Y = (960 × 5) ÷ 8

300 + Y = 600

Y = 300

Total B on Tuesday and Wednesday = 300 × 2 = 600

(Y − X) + 360 = 600

300 − X + 360 = 600

660 − X = 600

X = 60

Using X = 60 and Y = 300:

Printer A on Tuesday = X + 40 = 60 + 40 = 100

Printer B on Tuesday = Y − X = 300 − 60 = 240

Printer C on Thursday = Y = 300

Calculation:

From the given data:

Number of articles printed by Printer C on Monday = 300

Number of articles printed by Printer A on Wednesday = 420

Required percent = (300/420) x 100 = 71.43%

From the given data:

Total A on Monday and Thursday = 360 + 600 = 960

Total C on Monday and Thursday = 300 + Y

ATQ,

960 ÷ (300 + Y) = (8/5)

300 + Y = (960 × 5) ÷ 8

300 + Y = 600

Y = 300

Using Y = 300:

Printer B on Thursday = 420

Printer C on Thursday = 300

Required ratio = 420: 300 = 7: 5

From the given data:

Number of articles printed by Printer A on Thursday = 600

Sum of the number of articles printed by Printer A on Thursday and Friday together = 1120

ATQ,

Thursday + Friday = 1120

600 + Friday = 1120

Friday = 1120 − 600

Friday = 520

From I:

Initial Milk = 7y, Initial Water = 5y

Final Milk = 7y + x, Final Water = 5y + 2x

(5y + 2x) – (7y + x) = 12

So, x – 2y = 12

Values cannot be determined from I alone.

From II:

Initial Milk - Initial Water = 8

7y – 5y = 8

2y = 8

So, y = 4

Value of x cannot be determined from II alone.

On combining statements I and II:

x – 2(4) = 12

so, x = 20

Final Milk = 7 x 4 + 20 = 48

Final Water = 5 x 4 + 2 x 20 = 60

Required ratio = 48:60 = 4:5

Hence, option E.

From I:

Speed while floating = Speed of stream (S)

Speed downstream = D

(80/S) = 6 x (40/D)

Or, (80/S) = (240/D)

Or, D = 3S

Or, V + S = 3S

Or, V = 2S

Upstream speed U = V - S = S

From II:

D = (240/3) = 80 km/h

On combining I and II:

3S = 80

Or, S = 80/3 km/h

So, U = 80/3 km/h

So, required distance = (80/3) x 3 = 80 km

Hence, option e.

Let total capacity of tank = LCM (6, 9, 18) = 18 units.

Efficiency of A = 3 units/hr

Efficiency of B = 2 units/hr

Efficiency of C = 1 unit/hr

Total efficiency = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 units/hr

1/3^rd of the tank = 18 x 1/3 = 6 units

Time taken to fill 6 units by A, B and C = 6/6 = 1 hr

Remaining tank = 18 – 6 = 12 units

Time taken by A and B to fill remaining tank = 12 ÷ (3 + 2) = 12/5 = 2(2/5) hours

Total time taken = 1 + 2(2/5) = 3(2/5) hour

Let cost price be Rs. x

Selling price at 8% loss = 0.92x

Selling price at 4% profit = 1.04x

ATQ,

1.04x – 0.92x = 360

0.12x = 360

So, x = 360/0.12 = 3000

Profit share ratio of Ramesh to Mohit = (12000 × 18) : (16000 × 12)

= (12 × 18) : (16 × 12) = 18 : 16 = 9 : 8

Let the profits of Ramesh and Mohit be 9x and 8x, respectively.

So, 9x − 8x = 3000

Or, x = 3000

Total profit = 9x + 8x = 17x

So, required total profit = 17 × 3000 = Rs. 51,000

Given: Ten persons – Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z – live in a five-storey building. The ground floor is numbered 1, the floor above it is numbered 2, and so on up to the topmost floor numbered 5. Each floor has two flats, namely Flat-1 and Flat-2.

Flat-1 is to the west of Flat-2. Flat-1 of any floor is immediately above Flat-1 of the floor below it and immediately below Flat-1 of the floor above it. The same applies to Flat-2.

1. T lives three floors above Y in a different named flat. 
2. The one who lives to the east of T lives two floors above S. 
3. X lives just to the north-east of S. 

Here, there are two cases, i.e. Cases 1 and 2.

 

4. One floor is between the floors of X and Q. 
5. Q and T live in the same flat. 
6. W lives immediately below Q. 
7. V lives three floors above W in the same named flat. 

Case 1 gets eliminated because there is no place for V.

 

8. Z lives above U, who doesn’t live in the bottom-most floor. Hence, the final arrangement:

 

Q is related to R. The logic here is that the flat of the first person is to the north-west of the flat of the second person.

Hence, the correct answer is ‘R’.

Given: Ten persons – Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z – live in a five-storey building. The ground floor is numbered 1, the floor above it is numbered 2, and so on up to the topmost floor numbered 5. Each floor has two flats, namely Flat-1 and Flat-2.

Flat-1 is to the west of Flat-2. Flat-1 of any floor is immediately above Flat-1 of the floor below it and immediately below Flat-1 of the floor above it. The same applies to Flat-2.

1. T lives three floors above Y in a different named flat. 
2. The one who lives to the east of T lives two floors above S. 
3. X lives just to the north-east of S. 

Here, there are two cases, i.e. Cases 1 and 2.

 

4. One floor is between the floors of X and Q. 
5. Q and T live in the same flat. 
6. W lives immediately below Q. 
7. V lives three floors above W in the same named flat. 

Case 1 gets eliminated because there is no place for V.

 

8. Z lives above U, who doesn’t live in the bottom-most floor. Hence, the final arrangement:

 

Two persons live between Z and Y in the same numbered flat.

Hence, the correct answer is ‘Two’.
