3. Let us assume that 1 man → 1 day work = 1

Work done by 150 workers on 1st day  150  150  4  0
Work done by 146 workers on 2nd day  146  150  4 1

Work done on n th day  150  4(n  1)

 Total work done in n days  150n  4(0  1  2  ........  (n  1))
(n  1)  n
 150n  4
2
It takes 150 men  n  8  days to complete the same work
(n  1)  n
150n  4  150(n  8)
2
 150n  2n(n  1)  150(n  8)
 150  8  2n(n  1)
 600  25  24  n  25
 It takes 25-8=17 days, if 150 men work on it

4. As 10% do not watch any of the channels, so 90% watch at least one of the channels

SS  56% ESPN  80%

x
b c

  45  b  c  x  %
ZS  45%

 (56 - a - b - x) + (80 - a - c - x) + (45 - b - c - x) + a + b + c + x = 90

 90 = 56 + 80 + 45 - (a + b + c) - 3x + x
 2x = 51 ( a + b + c = 40)
 x = 25.5%

30 + 20 + 40 + 50
5. Average annual exports of P (during 1994-97) = = 35 crores

6.
1st hour 2nd hour 3rd hour 4th hour
Effective speed of P in kmph 40 + d 50 + d 60 + d 70 + d
Effective speed of Q in kmph 60 – d 50 – d 40 – d 30 – d

Speed of Q is 30-d in 4th hour, so they met at 4th hour.

70  d 4
At 4th hour, ratio of their effective speeds is   d=10
30  d 1
 The speed of wind = 10kmph

7. Equation (ii) is c(a+b)=23, a prime number

So the 2 factors must be 1, 23.
Since a,b are positive, a+b>1  c=1, a+b=23
Substituting c=1, b=23-a in equation (i)
a 2  22a  21  0  a  1or 21
 b  22or 2
Solution Sets are (1,22,1):(21,2,1)
Hence, there are 2 such triplets.

8. The sum of the page numbers on the leaf=191  n  (n  1)  n  95

 The page numbers on the leaf were 95 and 96
96
 The number of sheets = = 24
4
The number of sheets removed = 2
The page numbers on sheets could be (1, 2, 95, 96); (3, 4, 93, 94)……………
 The sum of page numbers on each sheet = 194 always
 The sum of page numbers on the remaining sheets = (194)22 = 4268

9. If a cube is cut into n3 smaller cubes, then the number of cubes painted on three faces is equal to 8.
Additionally, we can consider that there are 8 corners of the cube before it is cut, so the smaller
cubes at the corners will be painted on 3 faces.

10. It is mentioned in the statement Mr. Vivek has been declared successful in the preliminary
screening for the post of Director of an educational Institute. Therefore, either he will be selected or
will not be selected as Director of an educational Institute

12. The context calls for two contrasting words in correct proportion. Pressure and incentives are the
best suited words.

36. Pole zero plot (a) has both the poles on the imaginary axis hence the system in undamped.
Plot (b) has both the poles on the real axis hence there is no scope of oscillations and time constant
depends on the dominant pole, this system is an over damped system
(c)This system has complex conjugate poles hence there will be oscillations as well as attenuation
and the system is under damped.
(d) Both the poles of the system are identical and real resulting in a critically damped system.
Mapping the analysis to options will result in option (A).
