DIRECTIONS for questions 27 to 30: Answer the questions based on the following information.
Data on an ongoing football league of a country is given below. 20 teams are playing in the league. The
rules of the league are as follows:
1. Each team plays all the other teams twice, once in its home ground, and once in the opponent's home
ground. These matches are known as the "Home" match and the "Away" match respectively.
2. A win results in 3 points, a draw in 1 point, and a loss in 0 point for the team.
3. The number of goals a team scores is termed as "Goals For" and the number of goals it concedes is
termed as "Goals Against". We get the "Goal Difference" by subtracting "Goals Against" from "Goals For".
The ranking of the teams is decided on the total points. If two teams are tied on their total points, the team
which has a higher Goal Difference gets the higher rank. If the tie cannot be resolved on Goal Difference,
Goals For is checked followed by Goals Against. If the tie persists, the teams are ranked in the ascending
order of their names.
Table 1 provides data on the current top 13 teams based on the overall situation, i.e., by taking into
account both home matches and away matches of each team.
Table 2 provides data on the current top 13 teams based on home matches only.
Chart 1 provides a plot of the goal difference of each of the 13 teams based on the overall situation.

The BIG and Colourful Company
You are running "BIG and Colourful (BnC)" company that sells books to customers through three retail formats:
1. You can buy books from bookstores,
2. You can buy books from supermarket,
3. You can order books over the Internet (Online).
Your manager has an interesting way of classifying expenses: some of the expenses are classified in terms of
size: Big, Small and Medium; and others are classified in terms of the colors, Red, Yellow, Green and Violet. The
company has a history of categorizing overall costs into initial cost* and additional costs. Additional costs are
equal to the sum of Big, Small and Medium expenses. There are two types of margins, contribution (sales minus
initial costs) and profit (contribution minus additional costs). Given below is the data about sales and costs of
BnC:

A teacher wanted to administer a multiple choice (each question having six choices) based quiz of high difficulty
level to a class of sixty students. The quiz had sixty questions. The probability of selecting the correct answer for
a good student and a brilliant student was 0.2 and 0.25 respectively. The poor students had no learning
advantage. The teacher did not want students to cheat but does not have time and resources to monitor. All
students were seated serially in 10 rows and 6 columns.

DIRECTIONS for questions 12 to 14: Answer these questions on the basis of the information given.
Dev Anand, CEO of a construction company, recently escaped a potentially fatal accident. Dev had failed to
notice a red light while driving his car and attending to his phone calls. His well-wishers advised him to get a
suitable replacement for the previous driver Ram Singh, who had resigned three months back.
Ram Singh was not just a driver, but also a trusted lieutenant for Dev Anand for the last five years. Ram used to
interact with other drivers and gathered critical information that helped Dev in successfully bidding for different
contracts. His inputs also helped Dev to identify some dishonest employees, and to retain crucial employees who
were considering attractive offers from his competitors. Some of the senior employees did not like the informal
influence of Ram and made it difficult for him to continue in the firm. Dev provided him an alternative job with one
of his relatives.
During the last three months Dev has considered different candidates for the post. The backgrounds of the
candidates are given in the table below.

up the job of a driver.

Cousin of Ram Singh. Substituted Ram as
Dev's driver whenever Rani was on leave.
Currently working as a driver with Dev's inlaws. Strongly recommended by Ram. His
knowledge and contacts in the firm is as
good as Ram's.
Working as a temporary driver with Dev's
major competitor for the last three years.
The competitor has offered Chethan's
service to Dev on a temporary basis.
Chethan has also expressed his willingness
to work on a long term basis, provided he is
given an annual increment of Rs. 500,
which is reasonable as per the market
condition.
Dev is primarily looking for a stable and trustworthy driver, who can be a suitable replacement for Ram. His family
members do not want Dev to appoint a young driver, as most of them are inexperienced. Dev's driver is an
employee of the firm and hence the appointment has to be routed through the HR manager of the firm. The HR
manager prefers to maintain parity among all employees of the firm. He also needs to ensure that the selection of
a new driver does not lead to discontent among the senior employees of the firm.

From his perspective, and taking into account the family's concerns, Mr. Dev would like to have
1. Chethan

In order to resolve the conflicting preferences, one of Dev's friends suggested Dev, his family members
and the HR manager to identify their most and the least preferred candidates without considering the

For first 2 km, the fare is 2 10 = Rs 20, for next 8 kms, the
fare is 8 5 = Rs 40, for next 4kms, the fare is 4 8 = Rs 32.
So total fare = 20 + 40 + 32 = Rs 92
So amount left is Rs 10 and the remaining distance to be
covered by Bullock = 10/2 = 5km
Thus total distance = 14 + 5 = 19km

As the sum of all six digits is 90 and the median is 18.

Therefore, the first two numbers will be 1 and the next two
will be 17 and 19 ( as median is 18 ). The next number
should be 20 and sum up to here is 58. Hence the largest
number is 90 58 = 32.
From the formula, total approx loss = (20/10)2 = 4%.

Now CP 0.96 = 60000 CP = Rs 62500. Hence the
loss is Rs 2500.
Let the failed candidates be F and the total candidates
be 100. Then,
(100 F).x% + F.y% = z%(100). Solving the equation,
we get 100x Fx + Fy = 100z;
Hence F = 100(z x)/(y x)%.
10. Arun can do a maximum of 3 tasks. So as per priority and

no. of days required, he should first do T1, and then T2 as it
has higher priority and last must be T5, not T4 as no of days
required in T4 are more, thus option 2
11. Arun can do a maximum of 3 tasks. So as per priority and no
of days required, he should first do T1, next he cannot take
T2 as it has highest number of background research days so
he will take next two tasks T4 and T5 as per their priority
number, thus option 5
12. Let the radius of the innermost circle be 1. Then radius
of successive circles will be 2 and 3. First area = (2)2

- = 3. Second area = (3)2 - (2)2 = 5. Reqd ratio

Since both ways Auto takes 30 minutes so one way Auto

takes 15 minutes. Now Walking and Auto takes 90 minutes,
which implies 90 15 = 75 minutes is for Walking. So, both
ways Walking would take 75 2 = 150 minutes.
Let point A be the first edge where the fish is released and B
be the point where they divert after travelling for 300 mtrs.
and C be the point where they reach another edge after
travelling for 400 mtrs. Now angle between AB & BC to be
90. Then AC must be 500 mtrs. and hence the diameter of
the pool which gives the radius to be = 250 mtrs. Now, area

15. Since in every interval of 100 numbers we have 19 numbers

which have a particular digit used so from 100 to 800 we
` 39
have 6 (except from 200 to 299 which has all 100 numbers
having 2 in them) groups of 19 each. So, the total numbers
will be 19 6 = 114+100 =214.
16. Since we need to maximize the relation so we try to equalize
the variables p, q & r and also their sum is . This happens at
3+3+4=10. Now putting values we get 9+12+12+36=69
which lies in the range 60 to 70.
17. Let the number be xy.
x + y + xy = 10x+ y
x+ xy = 10x

Totaling the percentage of players who do not play each of
the games we get 30+25+20+15=90. Now the minimum
percentage of students who must be playing all the four
games will be 100-90=10.
Pq = qp and q = 9p, putting the value of q in first equation, we
get p9p=(9p)p p9p = 9p.pp p8p = 9p Taking 1/8p root
on both sides, we get p = 91/8
Since the options are whole numbers lets assume that Hari
got off the car after 3 hrs. (as 1, 2 and 4 hrs. is not possible).
Now that means Ram & Hari must have travelled for 25 3
= 75 kms., so 25 kms. still remain to be covered which Hari
will do at 5 km/h in 25/5=5 hrs. Now in those 5 hrs. Ram can
reach back for Shyam and take him to the destination in
those 5 hrs.
Let x be the width of the roads. As length and breadth are
40m and 30m respectively
Now as per question, 40x + 30x x2 = 600 70x x2 =
600 x2 70x + 600 = 0
x = 60 or 10. As 60 is not possible, therefore width of the
road is 10m
The road connecting all the cities should be the diagonals
from A to C and from B to D. Since the distances between
A,B,C&D are 10 each so the diagonals must be 102
each(By Pythagoras). So, the total length should be 2(102)
= 202 = 20 1.414 = 28.3 approx.
Statement I is wrong as 19 is also one of the prime factor,

imports of goods and services in 2010 = 100 1.1799
1.09438 1.163 1.1084 1.08321 1.1649 = 210
Let the exports of goods and services in 2004 = 100
Exports of goods and services in 2010 = 100 1.1888
1.1383 1.1713 1.1063 1.00813 1.2186 = 215.4
Hence, exports increased at faster rate than imports during

40. Since the difference in angles is 90, these angles are
135 and 45 respectively. Taking one triangle which is

half the rhombus, it is an isosceles triangle with angle
45 and 2 sides of 2 each. Area = bc sin A.

36. VP (HR) visits every 3rd day, VP (Operations) visits every 4th
day and VP (Sales) visits every 6th day. They will meet
together after LCM of 3, 4, and 6 = 12 days. So after January
3, they should meet on January 15 and next on January 27.
But CEO is on leave till Jan 27. So they will meet after 12
more days i.e. February 8, 2012. Hence option 3.
37. Mean of five Rs 5 lakh. So their total is 25 lakh. Median
salary is Rs 5 lakh. So two salaries are less than 5 lakh and
two salaries are more than 5 lakh. Mode is 8 lakh. So there
have to be two salaries of 8 lakh. Hence three salaries are 5
lakh, 8 lakh and 8 lakh. Now other two salaries total = 25
(5+ 8 + 8) = 4 lakh. Only possibilities are (1, 3) and (2, 2)
but (2, 2) is not possible as there is only one mode. So five
salaries are 1, 3, 5, 8, and 8. So answer is 1 + 8 = 9. Hence
option 1.

44. At the end of first year the interest is Rs 300. So total
payable amount is Rs 6300 out of which he has paid Rs
1200. So balance amount is Rs 5100. In the second years the
interest is Rs 255. So payable amount is Rs 5355. He has
again paid Rs 1200. So the remaining amount is Rs 4155.
45. As the total volume remains the same so radius of smaller
sphere will be 1cm. As surface area is proportional the
square of radius. So total surface area of 1000 smaller
spheres will become 1000 12 =1000 and surface area of one
big sphere will become 102 = 100. Hence total surface area is
increased by 900% i.e. 10 times.
46. Let the pots are x, so the total amount is x2.
Now if one brother is having potato chips and banana chips
and the other has only potato chips packets and the number
of packets with each brother is same, so the no. of packets of
potato chips is an odd no.
Let the no. of packets of potato chips is y, so we have 10y +
B = x2
Where B is the price of the packet of banana chips.
the required ratio =
` 41
Only one case is possible. They collected total money Rs.36.
In this case they will buy 3 packets of potato chips and one
packet of banana chip. So one will get two potato chips
packet worth Rs.20 and other will get one packet of banana
chips and one packet of potato chips i.e. total worth Rs.16.So
one should give Rs.4 to the other to make the division
financially equitable.
47. We have K + G + S = 100 (1)
10K + 3G + S = 100
20k + 6G + S = 200 (2)
Subtracting (1) from (2), we get 19K+ 5G = 100 .. (3)
G = 1 and K = 19 is the only solution possible for equation

No. of Gulabjamuns bought by Nikhil is 1.
48. Total petrol used during journey = 10+ 20+ 15 + 10 5 = 50

49. Since petrol in Rampur is Rs 45/ liter, she will buy it from
Rampur just to reach 650 km mark i.e. 18.75 liter. But she
already has 5 liter so she will buy only 13.75 liter. So cost is
13.75 45 = 618.75. Next she will buy 6.25 liter to reach
600 km mark @ Rs 40/ litre. So cost here will be 40 6.25 =
Rs 250. Here she will buy 25 litre petrol @ Rs 35/ litre
which will cost
35 25 = Rs 875. So the total cost = 618.75 + 250 + 875 =
Rs 1743.75. Hence option 4.
50. Here the paths are AD, AE and AF. Since E is the midpoint
of hypotenuse,
It is equidistant from all the vertices. So AE = 40. Now AE
divides DF in two equal parts so it is the median to DF. By
Apollonius theorem, AF2 + AD2 = 2(AE2 + EF2)
AF2 + AD2 = 2(1600 + 400) = 4000
So the sum of squares of paths = AF2 + AD2 + FD2 = 4000 +
1600 = 5600m

When the two buses meet for the first time, the bus A has
covered 7 km and the two buses has covered one complete
distance. By the time they meet again at D, the two has
covered total distance thrice in which the contribution of bus
A is 7 3 =21 km. But in actual the bus from A has covered
one full distance plus 4 km. So the distance between A and B
= 21 4= 17 km. Now each bus makes 5 rounds per day i.e.
34 5 = 170 km. So cost of running the buses = 170 20 2
= Rs 6800.

This question can be done by reverse approach. As perimeter

of remaining land (i.e. land left after selling two square
plots) to original is 3:8. So we took the dimensions of
smallest plot as 2 and 1 i.e. AD as 2 and AB as 1. As
remaining plots are square. So remaining dimensions
become as shown in figure. Also the Ratio of perimeter of
Remaining plot to original plot becomes 6:16 i.e. 3:8. So
Now we can solve the SP per sq ft. of remaining plot. Total
Area of plot = 35=15 sq. feet
So cost @1000 per sq. feet = 151000=15000Rs.
Profit
= 10%
So total SP of entire plot = 150001.1
= 16500
16500 = 91200 + 4 1150 + 2 y
` 42
Where y is SP/sq. ft of remaining plot. On solving we get y =

Tax paid on income upto Rs. 5,00,000/- = 10% of 1,40,000 +

20% of 2,00,000 = 14000 + 40000 = 54000
Therefore, remaining tax must be on salary above Rs. 5 lacs.
Remaining Tax = Rs. 308650.48 Rs. 54000 = Rs.
254650.48/This remaining tax has been paid @ 30%.
Thus, salary above Rs.5 lacs =
No. of sixes = 22
57. Total score = 306 + 20 4 = 322
Runs scored by 4s = 12 + 20 = 32

59. The values for CSR for the years 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
and 2009 are 1.15 lakh, 2.00 lakh, 2.01 lakh, 2.47 lakh and
3.16 lakh respectively. Since the question asks to calculate
the maximum increase w.r.t. previous year, thus the answer
will be year 2006 as there is an increase of 0.85 lakh.
60. Since we need to calculate CSR/Assets and CSR = Assets
Sales % CSR spending %. Therefore, required ratio =
Sales % CSR spending %. The maximum value is for the
year 2008 and it is 1.65
61. The maximum value of spending on CSR activities is for the
year 2009 and it is 3.16 lakh.
62. The values for CSR for the years 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008
and 2009 are 1.15 lakh, 2.00 lakh, 2.01 lakh, 2.47 lakh and
3.16 lakh respectively. It can be checked that there is no
decline for the spending on CSR as compared to previous
year.
63. The percentages of Ex-defense servicemen for the given
levels are 11.53, 12.3, 14.28, 19.23 and 18.18 respectively.
Thus, the highest value is for Level-4.
64. If the present staff strength is compared with the requirement
at each level, it can be checked that vacancies exist for
Levels-1, 3 and 4 only. It can be visualized easily that the

68. Income Tax payable = 10% of 1,10,000 + 20% of 37425
= 11000 + 7485 = 18,485
Total tax payable (Incl. Cess) = 1.03 X 18485 = 19039.55
Thus, percentage income payable as tax =
Total TDS = Rs. 3,17,910/Thus, Income tax before Cess =

Therefore, total salary = Rs.8,48,835 + Rs. 5,00,000 = Rs.

13,48,835/We have Z = 21 sinX + 72 cos X = 3 [7 sinX + 24 cos X] Let
7 = r.cos, 24 = r.sin. Thus, r = 25.
And Z = 3 [25sinXcos + 25cos Xsin] = 75 sin(X + )
Since sin(X + ) can assume the maximum value as 1,
therefore the maximum possible value for Z will be 75.
P (Crime happening in Northern region)
= P(Major crime) + P(Minor crime) P(Both major and
minor crimes) = 0.418 + 0.612 0.418 0.612 = 0.7742
Similarly, P (Crime happening in Southern region)
= P(Major crime) + P(Minor crime) P(Both major and
minor crimes) = 0.355 + 0.520 0.355 0.520 = 0.6904
Therefore, P(Crime in Northern or Southern region)
= P(Northern region) + P(Southern region) P(Both
Northern and Southern region) = 0.7742 + 0.6904
0.7742X0.6904 = 0.9301
Thus, P(No crime in any neighborhood) = 1- 0.9301 =

97. He will be eligible if he is upgraded to gold tier which needs

5 flights or journey of 12,500 km. in last 6 month or 12
month period.
Mr. Kakkar will be taking his fifth flight in March
Distance = 711 + 711 + 1407 + 1959 + 1081 < 12,500
98. Mr. Kakkar will be shifting to platinum when he completes
10 flights after having the gold status. After upgrade to gold
for fifth flight in March, he takes the 10th flight in
November. So total no. of months from March to November
= 7.
99. First-tier upgrade takes place in February while last upgrade
is in November.
Total no. of full months = 8
100. Following 12 month upgrade system, he would have reached
Gold tier in September.
101. Contribution by Airline tickets (25 20) is the highest.
102. Total revenue pre increase = 37 + 32 + 28 + 31 + 44) 5 (17
+ 24 + 22 + 21 + 25) 10 + 115 20 + (20 + 23 + 22 + 9 +

103. Let net sales be 100 in 2004

Then net sales for 2005 = 119.9
Increase in PAT = 119.9 6.9/100 6 = 8.27 6 = 2.27
2.27
100 37.8 %
% increase 6
104. In 2000, let total sale = 100.
Salaries and wages in 2000 = 5.9
In 2001, the sale = 119.3 and salaries and wages are 6.8, so
0.9
the %age change = 5.9 100 = 15.25%
In 2002, the sale = 122.4 and salaries and wages are 5.6% of
0.05
122.4 = 6.85, so the %age change = 6.8 100 = 0.73%
In 2003, the sale = 141.6 and salaries and wages are 5.3% of
141.6 = 7.5
0.65
The %age change = 6.85 100 = 9.48%
In 2004, the sale = 163.1 and salaries and wages are 7.99.
0.49
The %age change = 7.5 100 = 6.53%
In 2005, the sale = 195.55 and salaries and wages are 8.6.
0.61

Hence the %age change = .99 100 = 7.63%
Hence, the maximum growth is in 2001.

107. The equation of the two circles can be rewritten as
S1 = (x 1)2 + (y 3)2 = r2
S2 = (x 4)2 + (y + 1)2 = 32
The two circles will intersect at two points
(i) If Distance of Centres < Sum of Radii
(ii) If Distance of Centres > Difference of Radii
i.e.
(1 4) 2 (3 1) 2 r 3 r > 2 and 5 > r 3
r<8
Combining 2 < r < 8.
108. As per the given condition
Dividend = Divisor Quotient + 41
Divisor Quotient = 1956. Also the divisor has to be
greater the 41
Clearly there is only one number satisfying
1956 2 2 31 1631.
Thus the possible divisors are 163, 163 2, 163 22, 163
3, 163 2 3 and 163 22 3.
Hence there are 6 natural numbers.

Hence, Option 4.
113. (i) F(0, 0) = 0
(ii) F(2x, 2y) = F(2x + 1, 2y + 1) = F(x, y)
(iii) F(2x, 2y + 1) = F(2x + 1; 2y) = F(x, y) + 1
F(11, 7) = F(2 5 + 1, 2 3 + 1) = F(5, 3)
F(5, 3) = F(2 2 + 1, 2 1 + 1) = F(2, 1)
F(2, 1) = F(2 1, 2 0 + 1) = F(1, 0) + 1
F(1, 0) = F(2 0 + 1, 2 0 + 0) = F(0, 0) + 1
F(11, 7) = F(1, 0) + 1 = F(0, 0) + 1 + 1 = 2. Hence, Option 1.
114. A.T.Q. probability of getting 3black balls=4/106/12/8/14

115. Here P = L2(30 L) (1 + 2L)2
L = 6 P = 36(30 6) (1 + 12)2
= 36 24 169 = 146016
L = 5 P = 25(30 5) (1 + 10)2
= 25 25 121 = 75625
L = 4 P = 16(30 4) (1 + 8)2
= 16 26 81 = 33696. Thus for Maxm. P, L =

110. Assign any arbitrary value to a. Let a = 11 aC2 = 11C2
= 55 b = 55
Now 55C2 = 55.27. Option (2) = 3 a + 1C4 = 3 12C4 =
27 55.
111. Let the original length, breadth and height be l, b and h
respectively. Original volume = lbh. New length = 125l/100
= 5l/4. New breadth = 4b/3. Let new height be x cm. New
volume is 4/3 times original volume. New volume = 5l/4
4b/3 p = 4/3. lbh 5/4 4/3 lbx = 4/3 lbh p = 4/5 h.
So the height decreases by 20%. So option 2 is the right
answer.
116. A and B are dependent. Hence, Option 2.

117. P(A) = P(B). Hence, Option 3.
118. Find the amount if Rs. 25000 is given @ 12% p.a. for 2 years
i.e. 25000 112/100 112/100 = Rs. 31360. Now out of this
the sum of money paid is 1000 24 = 24000. The balance
left is 31360 24000 = Rs. 7360.
119. For the equation X2 3ax + b = 0 to have equal roots
Disc. = 0 (-3a)2 4 1 b = 9a2 4b = 0 4b = 9a2.
Hence, Option 4.
120. We know a b a b . So
| z 1 z | | z | | 1 z | | z 1|
| z | | z 1 | 1 . Therefore the minimum value of
| z | | z 1 | 1
121. f(x) = x4 6x2, f(x) = 4x3 12x. Now f(x) = 0 4x3

129.
So f(x) is decreasing
Case II 0 <x < 3 f(x) = +ive
So f(x) is increasing in (0,
Case III x >
3)
3 f(x) = +ive
So f(x) is increasing in ( 3 , ). Hence, Option 1.

126. Now Under 15, there are 200000 females, in that carriers are
given to be 0.2 in each category. Multiplying that gives you
200000 0.2 = 40000. Between 15 25, there are 80000
females, in that carriers are given to be 0.1 in each category.
Multiplying that gives you 80000 0.1 = 8000. Over 35,
there are 420000 females, in that carriers are given to be 0.1.
Multiplying that gives you 420000 0.1 = 42000. Thus the
total is 40000 + 8000 + 42000 = 90000. Thus 3rd option.
127. A = x3y + xy3 = xy(x2 + y2). A = xy(1 xy)

].
Hence answer is 4th option.

123. In this case we find all two digit, three digit, four and five
digit palindromic numbers.
A two digit palindromic number is of the form xx. Since x
can be selected in 9 different ways, i.e 1 to 9, 9 two digit
palindromes can be formed.
A three digit palindrome is of the form xyx. x can be selected
in 9 different ways and y can be selected in 10 different
ways (0 to 9). So number of three digit palindromes = 9 10
= 90.
Four digit palindromes are of the form xyyx and five digit
palindromes are of the form xyzyx. In each of the given
cases, x can take 9 values, y and z can take 10 values each.
So number of four digit palindromes = 90 and number of five
digit palindromes = 900. So total number of palindromes
between 10 and 100000 = 900 + 90 + 90 + 9 = 1089. So
answer is option 3.

(x y) is a factor ; f(x, y) is symmetric ; Both are
required.
132. Because of a 20% increase in speed, the time required to
travel decreases by 16 2/3%, so the 15 min he could cover up
by increasing the speed is basically 1/6 th of the usual time.
He usually takes 1 hours to travel from house to his office.
By increasing his speed by 1.5 kmph, the distance he usually
covers in 90 min is covered in 72 min. So
V
72
V 1.5 90
V = 6 kmph. So distance from house to office = 1.5 6 =

9 km. So answer is 2nd option.

In order to find the profit /loss, we require the information

about initial costs and the distribution of costs. As from
statement I, we can find the distribution of sales of all the
three retail formats. Now from statement II, the
information about the initial costs is given and from the
given tables, we already have the distribution of
additional costs as well as the ratio of units consumed. So
on combining both the statements, we can easily find the
profit/loss of different retail formats.
For Online :
Sales = 50% of 60000 = 30000 ( as given above)
Initial costs = 50% of 39000 = 19500 (as given above)
Contribution = 30000-19500 = 10500
Additional costs :

Therefore, Loss = 3710 3500 = 210
For Bookstore :
Sales = 2/3 of 30000 = 20000 ( as given above)
Initial costs = 2/3 of 19500 = 13000 (as given above)
Contribution = 20000-13000 = 7000

R = 5500
Total = 1940
Therefore, Profit = 7000 1940 = 5060. Clearly,
Bookstore is making the highest profit.
Since students sitting next to each other have marked
same answers, thus we get 2 possibilities i.e.
1. They have marked correct answers
2. They have marked incorrect answers
Now, in case of correct answers, teacher cannot detect
cheating, however, students would have cheated
definitely if most of the closely seated students have same
incorrect answers. Thus correct option is 3.
Here I, II, II, IV statements are required to know the
strength of the class i.e. Strength order is A>B>C>D, also
Strength of C is greater than 2 from statement VI. From
statement V, ABCD = 10x, which implies that one of
A, B, C, D is 5. Taking the value of x from 1-11, we
either get the less factors or the number of students come
out to be same. When x = 12, we get the factors to be 2, 3,
4, 5. So these numbers satisfy the given statements and
give us the strength of all the sections. Thus we require
only first 6 statements to find the strength of the sections.
From 1st guess, the ranking is A, B, C, D, E but this
ranking is wrong which means A doesnt precede B in
correct ranking, B doesnt precede C, C doesnt precede
D and D doesnt precede E.
From 2nd guess, the ranking is D, A, E, C, B but in this
ranking 2 positions are correct and 2 students in ranking
followed their immediate predecessors
Now if we consider option 1 to be correct, it will imply
that both A and E are at incorrect positions and out of B,
C and D one more should be incorrect. Secondly, E will
either come at position I or IV, because if its on II, it will
make 3 positions in 2nd guess correct, if its on V it will
negate the incorrectness of 1st guess.
So we get two possible rankings i.e.
E, D, A, C, B and D, C, A, E, B
In first case, we have two predecessors at their correct
positions according to 2nd guess but in 2nd case, only one
predecessor is at their correct position.
Thus option 1 is correct.

The criteria Mr. Dev and his family are looking for are: a)
Long term service and trustworthy b) Age and
experience. Based on this Mr. Dev would like to recruit
Bal Singh.
The criteria Mr. Dev is looking for are: a) Long term
service and trustworthy and His family is looking for a)
Age and experience. These criteria are met in option 1
only. Option 2 is ruled out because Chintan satisfies the
condition family is looking for so cant be least preferred.
Similarly Bal Singh cant be rejected by HR has he has
experience.
Criteria G.M (H.R) is looking for is that the new driver
does not lead to discontent among the senior employees
of the firm. Looking into the case provided, Ram Singh
was criticized by senior employees as he provided
information about competitors to DEV. And since
Chethan is also working with the competitor, hence may
create similar discontent among senior employees.

By options.
Option (1) might be true
Suppose one person sees the Guru Dutt film. Then, there
would be minimum two persons to see the Satyajit Ray
film.
Therefore, option (2) is incorrect.
Vyomkesha and Yogi see the same film. Therefore,
option (3) is incorrect.
If exactly two film buffs see the Ritwik Ghatak film,
then there would be five film buffs to see the Guru Dutt
or Satyajit Ray films.
It is given that exactly twice as many of the film buffs
see the Satyajit Ray film as they see the Guru Dutt film.
Therefore, option (4) is incorrect. Similarly, option (5)
could not be correct.
If one film buff sees the Ritwik Ghatak film, then two
film buffs would see Guru Dutt film and four film buffs
would see Satyajit Ray film.
Vyomkesha, Yogi, Lalatakshaya, Indra/Maheshwar
Satyajit Ray film
Gangadhar Ritwik Ghatak Film
Rudra, Indra or Maheshwar Guru Dutt film.
If Vyomkesha and Gangadhar see the same film, then
Yogi would also be there. Thus,
Vyomkesha, Yogi, Gangadhar Ritwik Ghatak film
Three persons cannot see Guru Dutt film. Therefore
option (1) is incorrect.
If Gangadhar sees the Ritwik Ghatak film, then Rudra

could not see the Ritwik Ghatak film. Therefore, option

(3) is incorrect.
Vyomkesha cannot see the Satyajit Ray film because
Gangadhar sees wither Guru Dutt film or Ritwik Ghatak
film. Therefore, option (4) is incorrect. For similar
reason, option (5) is also not correct.
Vyomkesha and Yogi could not see the Guru Dutt film
because in that case Gangadhar would see the Ritwik
Ghatak film and Indra and Maheshwar would see the
Satyajit Ray film. But it is given that Indra and
Maheshwar do not see the same film.
If A is a thief, then B is not a guard. However, E claims
that A is a guard. Then B must be a guard. Now C is a
thief and D is a guard. And, hence E must be a thief.
Therefore, E cannot be a guard and he is telling lie. Thus,
there is only one guard, i.e., C and four thieves.

In no case Y would be the second product to be launched

option (1) X
In no case R would be the third product to be launched
option B (X)
Q could be fifth but in no case it would be fourth
option C (X)
V cannot be sixth product to be launched as Y, Q and S
are launched after V option E (X)
Therefore, option 4 is the answer

S cannot be launched before V and hence not before T.

W could be launched before T.
W could be launched after V.
Y could be launched after Q.
Z was certainly launched before W.
