Q. 2 Five teams have to compete in a league, with every team playing every other
team exactly once, before going to the next round. How many matches will have
to be held to complete the league round of matches?
(A) 20 (B) 10
(C) 8 (D) 5
Sol. 2 Correct option is (B).
Lets assume 5 teams are (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E)
From team (A), playing with (B), (C), (D) and (E) team, there are 4 matches.
From team (B), it will paly with (C), (D) and (E) team because with (A) it is
already played so there are 3 matches
As from team (C), 2 matches
As from team (D), 1 match
Total match played in the league
are 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10 matches
Alternative Method
Numbers of matches = number of ways to select two teams
= 5c2 = 10

(D) affects (verb)
Meaning- Cause to happen; bring about
Example- The prime minister effected many policy changes.
Conclusion: In the blank space a verb has to be there to complete the meaning of
sentence so ‘Harbours’ gives a meaning full sentence.
Q. 5 Tanya is older than Eric.
Cliff is older than Tanya.
Eric is older than Cliff.
If the first two statements are true, then the third statement is:
(A) True (B) False
(C) Uncertain (D) Data insufficient


From first two statements, we conclude that Cliff is oldest and Eric is youngest.
So, given thirst statement that, “Eric is older than cliff” is wrong because Eric is
the youngest among three.

For a coin tossed 3 times
Let X be the event that head occurs in each of the first two tosses
So set X = {HHT, HHH}

Q. 6 Three parallel pipes connected at the two ends have flow-rates Q1 , Q2 and Q 3
respectively and the corresponding frictional head losses are hL1 , hL2 and hL3
respectively. The correct expressions for total flow rate (Q ) and frictional head
loss across the two ends (hL ) are
(A) Q = Q1 + Q2 + Q 3 ; hL = hL1 + hL2 + hL3
(B) Q = Q1 + Q2 + Q 3 ; hL = hL1 = hL2 = hL3
(C) Q = Q1 = Q2 = Q 3 ; hL = hL1 + hL2 + hL3
(D) Q = Q1 = Q2 = Q 3 ; hL = hL1 = hL2 = hL3


For a pipe that branches out into two (or more) parallel pipe and then rejoins
at a junction downstream, the total flow rate is the sum of the flow rotes in the
individual pipes. The pressure drop (or head loss) in each individual pipe connected
n
in parallel must be same since TP = Pin − Pout and the junction pressure Pin and
Pout are the same for all the individual pipes.

Annual requirement of rivets (D ) = 2000 kg

Cost of one unit (1 kg) = Rs.25 each
Ordering cost (Co ) = Rs.100/order
