C takes Bio → D × (does not) 12. (4) I is a conclusion (not an assumption)
Now, C can take chemistry or Maths → C = Bio 13. (4) If Y is included → exclude Z and C.
and chemistry Now, B is present → exclude W.
and D = not Bio, not Chemistry → Physics We have : Y + (X, A, B)
and Maths 14. (2) Since B is rejected → AC included
For B and E, B = P / M & Bio → Physics, SinceC is used → Y excluded
Bio or Maths, Bio. Thus, we can have : AC + WXZ (any 2)
6. (2) and E ≠ B → E = P / C → Phy., Chem. 15. (2) I → If Y and W used → B and C not used
From given i nf ormation, we have → only A from Ist group

16. (4) II → A, C are used and C rejects Y.
B 9 × 9 ×
C × 9 9 × 17. (3) From the given inf o rmation , for Qs. 17 −19,
D — × 9 9 we have :
E 9 — × 9
F 9 9 × — A / B / C / D / E have Rs 50 / Rs 70
highest = C / D / E, lowest = B / C / E
None follows, as C and D are ambiguous.
7. (3) Similarly, A cannot take up Chem. and Maths and differences = 10, 20, 30, 40, A = int ermediate
→ A = Chem. Bio or Maths Bio. Thus, we can have :
→ D ≠ MB, i.e. D = PB A / B / C / D / E = 40 /70 /50 / 30 / 20
Thus, A, C, D, F can be found out. But B ≠ 70 → B = ?
However, only C is certain → A = 40, B = ?, C = 50, etc
(as B and E are doubtful) 18. (2) ....as in above sol ution
32. (4) B selected → A not selected → option (3) is wrong 44. (3)
and Y rejected → X and Z are selected → (1) or (4). 45. (4)
Since Z is in →C is out
46. (4)
Thus, X and Z from group 1 and B, D from 2nd

group → XZBD
A = 12, 30
33. (4) A in → Y and B out → XZ from seniors. R = 68
Since Z in → C out → A and D from juniors. M = 96
34. (2) Y in → A out and Z in → C out 48. (4) For Qs. 48 −50 : 25% + 20% = 45%
Thus B in and D in Re mainder = 55% = M 1 + M 4
35. (2) As seen in above Qs.
55% of total (x) =5000 + M 4( =2), and x >10
36. (3) Number of small cubes left

=125 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 4 =125 – 13 = 112 100 11
37. (3) Leave / scrape off the topmost layers (coloured ), Put n = 1 (for min imum value) → M 1 +M 4 =6600
→ 3 × 3 × 3 – 2 (The cubes 2 × 2 ×1 give 2 less) → M 4 = 1600
→ 27 − 2 = 2 5 cubes Now, 2 hrs = 1600 → ?, = 5000 →?
38. (4) All the cubes beneath / touching the removed 5×2 1

ones. Thus, beneath 2 ×2 ×1 we have 8, 16 4
1 × 1 × 4 → 9, 1 × 1 × 2 → 5, 1 × 1 × 3 → 7 → ? = 6 hrs, 15 min utes = 6: 15 hrs
Total = 8 + 9 + 5 + 7 = 29 49. (4) (as above).....
39. (2) The remaining cubes on top layer, 50. (4) Now, 8 : 15hrs = 55% time ⎪⎫⎪
i.e. 2 +1 + 3 + 2 = 8 (at the edges). ⎬ ? = 6 : 45hrs
→ ? = 45% time ⎪⎪⎭
40. (3) Let the opposite faces be: a and c, b and d, e and f
→ Total time = 15 hrs, remaining =9 hrs.
From the given data, a + c = 36, b + d = 40, e + f = 41
9
Adding these equations, a + b + c + d + e + f = 117 ∴ Re nt for hrs = ? (24 – 15)
24
Also given, a + b = 33, c + d = 43, e + b = 39, 1
f + d =38 6 hrs
For 4 , rent = 5000
Now, sum of opposites can be: 36, 40 or 41 15hrs
and difference of opposites is: 14 9hrs
∴ for , rent = ?
Let, → x + y = 40, x – y = 14 24hrs
→ x = 13 is possible 9 15 × 4
On cross multiplica tion, ? = 5000 × ×
(from sums = 41, or 36, x = 23, or 11, not given 24 25
in options). = 4500 = 100 ×45
41. (4) Let b + d = 40 → 13 + 27 = 40 ∴ No. of days = 45
From a + b + c + d + e + f =117, Section—II
→ a + c + e + f =117 – 40 = 77
51. (1) Para 2 and Ist sentence of para 3
Also, e + f = 41, e– f = 5 → 2e = 46 → e = 23,
52. (4) 1 is a feature as well as an advantage
f = 18
2 and 3 are true (para 3, middle → end)
Now, a + c = 36, a + b = 33 → a =33 – b
4 is certainly wrong (procedures are ‘maximised’)
= 33 – 13 = 20
Actually, due to direct translation, procedures are a
∴ a = 20, c = 16
few and precision is maximised.
→ a, b, c, d, e, f = 20, 13, 16, 27, 23, 18
