12. Answer: A
Explanation: A is incorrect, Suresh babu who has been living should replace the original phrase to indicate that he still
lives in the same town he used to live since 1995.

13. Answer: A
Explanation: While referring to the line in third para "This speaks to the most insidious aspect of the whole problem:
patriarchal attitudes that continue to be widely prevalent in India.", Patriarchal attitude is the most insidious aspect.

14. Answer: D
Explanation: Refer to the first para: "The ambiguity and regulatory burden mean that the legislation is likely to be
ineffective at best." Refer to the third para: "Iceland's example is not the one to follow; it has been passing increasingly
stringent law since 1961 but the problem remains". Therefore, none of the statements follow.

15. Answer: B
Explanation: Refer to second para: "And much of this shrinking of the gap is due to the Mahatma Gandhi National
Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS). This highlights the lack of attractive job alternatives. For
instance, the construction sector, the largest employer in the urban informal segment, is notoriously difficult to
regulate effectively- and notorious as well for the discrimination and sexual harassment women workers face." The
above sentences talk about construction sector being the largest employer in the urban informal segment. Due to
rampant harassment in the construction sector, women are not willing to work in this sector.

16. Answer: C
Explanation: Consider the options: Option (a): The passage begins with a reference to Iceland. However, the main
focus is on gender inequity in India. Hence, it cannot be the title of the passage.
Option (b): Patriarchy has been mentioned as a major reason behind the prevalence of gender pay gap. It is not the crux
of the passage.
Option (c): The passage, mostly, talks about gender pay gap in India. 3rd and 4th paragraphs talk about the factors
behind the issue. Subsequent paragraphs quote examples and solutions. Hence, this option can be a title of the passage.
Thus, option (c) is the most suitable candidate for the title of the passage.

17. Answer: C
Explanation: Refer to third paragraph = This speaks to the most insidious aspect of the whole problem: patriarchal
attitudes that continue to be widely prevalent in India. It explains, for instance, the declining female workforce
participation in the informal sector. This "U" curve, with women dropping out of the labour force once family incomes
are no longer at distress levels ...
5th paragraph: This feeds into hiring discrimination in the formal sector when employers consequently see women as
less reliable employees ..,
It is clear that statement I and II are mentioned in 4th and 5th paragraphs respectively. Statement III (Feminisation of
agriculture) does not find mention in the passage. Hence, option C is the most appropriate answer.

18. Answer: D
Explanation: Refer to last paragraph: "The wage gap must be addressed on multiple fronts. These range from the
broad —greater formalization of the workforce to create better job opportunities for women and streamlining labour
laws that ..." Mandating parental leave rather than maternal leave will help as well, allowing women to reintegrate into
the workforce after childbearing while making it possible for men to take on the responsibility of parenthood as well.
Changing societal attitudes, however, will be a long, hard haul. It is clear from the underlined parts that all three
statements I, II and Ill are mentioned in the passage. Hence, option D is the most appropriate answer. Hence, option (d)
is correct.

19. Answer: C
Explanation: Refer to first paragraph: It shows how vexed the issue of gender pay gap is that a country like Iceland—
at the very head of the class when it comes to gender equity—opts for such a law. How, then, should a country like
India—ranked 108 on the World Economic Forum's "Global Gender Gap Report 2017", which looks at a number of
dimensions from economic opportunities to political empowerment and healthcare—address the problem? It is clear
from the above paragraph that Iceland ranks among top countries in gender equity. Still, it has passed strict laws to
further improve gender equity. India, being ranked quite low at 108, needs to make enormous efforts. Thus, option (c)
is the most appropriate answer.

20. Answer: B
Explanation: Refer to the 2nd paragraph: "And much of this shrinking of the gap is due to the Mahatma Gandhi
National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS). This highlights the lack of attractive job alternatives.
For instance, the construction sector, the largest employer in the urban informal segment is notoriously difficult to
regulate effectively—and notorious as well for the discrimination and sexual harassment women workers face.
Government-sponsored employment is not a sustainable option for bringing about gender economic equity ... ". The
author openly says that such schemes are not sustainable. He has a pessimistic attitude towards such schemes. Option B
clearly conveys this view of the author towards government-sponsored schemes like MGNREGS. Hence, option (b) is
correct.

21. Answer: D
Explanation: Refer to 3rd Paragraph
"..One is demand side—labour market discrimination. Some aspects of this can and have been legislated. The Equal
Remuneration Act, 1976 mandates equal pay for men and women for the same or similar work. It also bars hiring
discrimination on the basis of gender. Enforcement, however, is a different matter. Iceland's example is not the one to
follow.."
Statement III is correct. 5th paragraph: This feeds into hiring discrimination in the formal sector when employers
consequently see women as less reliable employees prevents women from accumulating human capital at the same rate
as men and has a cumulative hamstringing effect as women progress in their careers. According to the 2012 "Gender
Pay Gap in the Formal Sector" report by the Wage Indicator Foundation and the Indian Institute of Management,
Ahmedabad, the pay gap increases with women's age, work experience, educational qualifications and rise in the
occupational hierarchy. This is a poor message indeed for girls who are now enrolling for education at higher rates.
Therefore, All the statements are correct. Hence option D is correct.
22. Answer: D
Explanation: Refer to second para "..The question is complicated by the different contexts of the informal and formal
labour forces. When it comes to the former, excluding crop-based farming, the National Sample Survey Office's
(NSSO's) 68th round, conducted in 2011-12, shows that the gender wage gap declined by nearly 10 percentage points
from 29.2% in 2004-05..." Statement I is correct.
4th Paragraph: "..This speaks to the most insidious aspect of the whole problem: patriarchal attitudes that continue to be
widely prevalent in India. It explains, for instance, the declining female workforce participation in the informal
sector..." Statement III is correct.
Statement II has not been mentioned anywhere and is thus incorrect.
Both I and III are correct and hence, option (d) is correct.

23. Answer: D 24. Answer: A 25. Answer: A

26. Answer: D
Explanation: The correct spelling of “Ammelioration” is ‘Amelioration’. All the other spellings are correct. Hence,
the correct answer is Option (d)

27. Answer: A
Explanation: The correct spelling of “Gazzette” is ‘Gazette’. All the other spellings are correct. Hence, the correct
answer is Option (a)

28. Answer: A

29. Answer: A
Explanation: “Apocryphal” means ‘of doubtful authenticity although widely circulated as being true’ which is
antonymous to “authentic” which means ‘of undisputed origin and not a copy; genuine’
“Audacious” meaning ‘showing a willingness to take surprisingly bold risks’ and “blasphemous” meaning
‘sacrilegious against God or sacred things; profane’ are not opposite in meaning to “apocryphal”.
Eliminate Option (b) and (c) Hence, the correct answer is Option (a).

30. Answer: D
Explanation: “Capricious” means ‘given to sudden and unaccountable changes of mood or behaviour’ which is
dissimilar to “Consistent” meaning ‘acting or done in the same way over time, especially so as to be fair or accurate’.
“Erratic” means ‘not even or regular in pattern or movement; unpredictable’, “crafty” means ‘clever at achieving
one’s aims by indirect or deceitful methods’ and “obvious” means ‘easily perceived or understood; clear self-evident,
or apparent’. All the other options are not suitable antonyms of “capricious”. Eliminate Option (a), (b) and (c).
Hence, the correct answer is Option (d).

31. Answer: C
Explanation: In 1, though the sentence "I have good knowledge of German" is correct as a response to a question,
when used by itself, the appropriate phrasing is "I have good knowledge of the German language".
In 3, "whole" should be replaced with "the whole of" when used before a proper noun (Delhi).
In 5, similar to 1, the correct usage is "He knows how to swim".
So the incorrect options are 135; hence the answer is C.

32. Answer: C
Explanation: The first part of the sentence deals with the correct usage of the word "had" and "tell". "had better" is a
semi modal verb (used to express need or necessity) used to give strong advice and is the correct usage. Since "had
better" implies advice to be followed, the verb that follows cannot be in the past tense, so the correct selection is "tell".
In the second part of the sentence, the choices are between will and would, considering the first part of the sentence, we
need future perfect simple tense, in this case, "will".
Hence the correct option is C.

33. Answer: A
Explanation: Q is an opening statement that puts forward the idea that regular consumption of junk food can cause
problems. S lists out the nutritional facts about junk food and hence validates Q, while R is a supporting statement for
S. T explains the various health hazards caused by junk food and P takes it a step forwards and lists out the long term
effects of regular fast food consumption.
Hence the correct order is QSRTP.

34. Answer: D
Explanation: S introduces the idea that political parties use social media for advertising. R explains how political
parties pay social media for the same. Q takes a look at how it is done in India and T explains the roles of influencers in
implementing Q and P an example of Q. So the correct order is SRQTP.

35. Answer: C

Section II: Maths

36. Answer: B
Explanation:
Let the total customers be 100.
Number of customers who said that they will return = 76x
Number of customers who said that will not return = 24x
Number of customers among those who said that they will return rated the restaurant as good = 76x*0.36
Number of customers among those who said that they will not return rated the restaurant as good = 24x*0.32
Number of customers who rated the restaurant as good = 76x*0.36+24x*0.32 = 35.04x
Percentage of customers who rated the restaurant as good = approx 35%
B is the correct answer.

37. Answer: A
Explanation: The number of students in 2018-19 MBA batch = 400
Number of students who did not choose 'Business Statistics' = 200
Number of students who did not choose 'International Management' = 100

Number of students who choose at least one of the two subjects = 400-80=320

400
BS
IM
20 x 120

80
140+x=320
x=320-140=180
A is the correct answer.

38. Answer: C
Explanation: The average scores of Virat, Rohit, Mahendra, Rahul and Shikhar in the first 20 matches are 60, 55, 50,
45,40 respectively.
In the next 10 matches, Virat and Rohit each scored 900 runs whereas Mahendra scored twice that of Rahul.
Virat's score in 30 matches = 60*20+900=2100
Let us consider Rahul scored x runs in last 10 matches, then Mahendra scores 2x runs.
Rahul's score in 30 matches = 45*20+x=900+x
Mahendra's score in 30 matches = 50*20+2x = 1000+2x
It is given that
After 30 matches, Virat’s new average score is twice that of Rahul.
2100=2(900+x)
x=150
Mahendra's score in 30 matches =1300
Average score of Mahendra = 43
C is the correct answer.

39. Answer: A
Explanation: Let the capacity of the cistern be LCM of 12 and 15 = 60l
The rate of flow through the inlet pipe 1 = 60/12=5 l/min
The rate of flow through the inlet pipe 2 = 60/15=4 l/min
It is given that despite leakage the two inlet pipes together can fill the cistern in 20 min.
Let the flow through the leakage be x l/min
(5+4-x)20=60
9-x=3
x=6
The leakage will empty the cistern in 60/6=10 min
A is the correct answer.

40. Answer: A
Explanation: For the first year, amount = 1200000*0.08
for the second year = 1152000*0.08
On similar lines for the twenty-fifth year = 48000*0.08
This is in AP with first term 48000*0.08 with common difference 3840
Total interest = (2x48000*0.08+24*3840)
=1248000
A is the correct answer.

41. Answer: B
Explanation: Let the cost price of article that is sold by Kavita be Rs. x and that of Kalyani be y.
Selling prices are same and difference between the profits is Rs. 200 and Kavita calculates the percentage of profit on
SP So, x = y - 200
So, selling price = 120% of y = 1.2 y
. .
.
× 100 =
.
.
= 0.2
1.2y - x = 0.24y
1.2y - (y - 200) = 0.24y
0.2y + 200 = 0.24y
0.04y=200
y = 5,000
Selling price= 1.2y = 1.2×5000= Rs 6000

42. Answer: C
Explanation: Let the price of washing machine be 3000 + x .
The principal for the first year is x.
The principal for the second year is x - 1300.
The principal for the third year is x - 2600.
∴ Total interest for the three years is
(x × 10%) + (x - 1300) × 10% + (x - 2600) × 10%
= 0.1x + 0.1x − 130 + 0.1x − 260 = 0.3x − 390
= 0.1x + 0.1x − 130 + 0.1x - 260
= 0.3x − 390
Total amount after three years
x + 0.3x − 390 = 3 × 1300
= 1.3x − 390 = 3,900
= x = 3,300
∴ Total cost of washing machine is Rs. 6,300.
Total interest charged
= 3,000 + 1,300 × 3 − 6,300 = Rs. 600

43. Answer: B
Explanation: A can complete the work in 6 days.
B can complete the work in 1.5 days.
C can complete the work in 18 days.
Work complete by A and C in one day is + = .
Work completed in 1.5 days = (2/9) (3/2) = 1/3.
Time taken by A, B and C together to complete the entire work = 1(1/6 + 1/1.5 + 1/18) = 18/16
∴ Time taken to complete 2/3rd of work
= (2/3)(18/16) = 3/4
Total time taken to complete the work
= 1.5 + 0.75 = 2.25 days

44. Answer: C

45. Answer: D
Explanation: Let my age be X years and my sister's age be Y years. Then my father's age is X + 30 and my mother's
age is Y + 25.
The sum of the age: x + x + 30 + y + y + 25 = 26.25 X 4 = 105
= x + y = 25 ………(i)
Four years hence when my sister leaves the family the average age will be
( ) ( ) ( )
=
= 2x + y = 40 ………(ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
x = 15 years
∴ Father's age = 45 years

46. Answer: D
Explanation: A belongs to family Y and travels in car 3
D is wife of E
H is son of B who is wife of G and they belong to family Z
C is daughter of F who is wife of A and they belong to family Y
D is wife of E and they belong to family X and they travel in car 1 and 2 respectively
C travels in car 2 means F who belongs to family Y along with A and C travels in car 1
G does not travel with F means G does not travel in car 1
Hence in car 1 along with D and F any one of B or H can travel and option D is right.

47. Answer: C
Explanation: A belongs to family Y and travels in car 3
D is wife of E
H is son of B who is wife of G and they belong to family Z
C is daughter of F who is wife of A and they belong to family Y
D is wife of E and they belong to family X and they travel in car 1 and 2 respectively. This means there can only be 2
people in car 3 who belong from families Y and Z.
Hence car C is correct.

48. Answer: A
Explanation: A belongs to family Y and travels in car 3
D is wife of E
H is son of B who is wife of G and they belong to family Z
C is daughter of F who is wife of A and they belong to family Y
D is wife of E and they belong to family X and they travel in car 1 and 2 respectively
C travels in car 2 means F who belongs to family Y along with A and C travels in car 1
G does not travel with F means G does not travel in car 1
Hence F and G cannot travel in the same car.

49. Answer: D
Explanation: A belongs to family Y and travels in car 3
D is wife of E
H is son of B who is wife of G and they belong to family Z
C is daughter of F who is wife of A and they belong to family Y
D is wife of E and they belong to family X and they travel in car 1 and 2 respectively
Hence the Group of females is B, F and D and are not represented in any of the options.

50. Answer: B
Explanation: A belongs to family Y and travels in car 3
D is wife of E
H is son of B who is wife of G and they belong to family Z
C is daughter of F who is wife of A and they belong to family Y
D is wife of E and they belong to family X and they travel in car 1 and 2 respectively
C travels in car 2 means F who belongs to family Y along with A and C travels in car 1
G does not travel with F means G does not travel in car 1
Hence D and F of families X and Y travel together in car 1.

Hence Option (d)

58. Answer: A
Explanation: The reason behind the anonymous mail is probably because the students are reluctant to come forward
with their grievances. Hence, after receiving such mail, the Principal should ensure that the students are not afraid to
come forward. Thus, only option (a) takes the point into consideration.

59. Answer: D
Explanation: The author’s view presented in the passage is that the election seasons will come and go and no matter
who wins or loses, the country will continue to survive.
Option (a) introduces the term “economic growth” which is not mentioned in the passage.
Option (b) mentions the about the “young” population and the passage and the passage does not say anything about the
age of the population.
Option (c) is contrary to the view of the author as it says that the country is dependent on a credible Prime Minister
while the author’s view says the opposite.
The author’s confidence in saying that the season will pass and the country will survive the uncertainties of the election
period in this as well as the following decades indicates that the author has experienced the same scenario in the past.
This vindicates Option (d) as the correct answer.

60. Answer: D
Explanation: When the company agreed to pay the fine, the market perceived it as acknowledgement of deceit and the
valuation of such deceit is clear (from the fine amount). This acknowledgement of behavior (deceit) and specifically the
valuation or price of such behaviour becoming clear, gives lots more information to the market thereby increasing the
stock price. Hence, (d) is the answer. Option (a) and (b) are wrong since stock price did not increase when the
organization was exposed, but when the organization acknowledged. Option (c) is wrong as there is no data on stock
price movement when the organization’s fraud was exposed. Hence, the correct answer is Option (d).

61. Answer: C
Explanation: Statement 1 in the given paragraph is a fact since it can be verified whether a "high preponderance" of
innovative people have "some sort of disability". This eliminates options (a) and (b).
Statements 2 and 3 are questions since they try to elicit the reader's opinion about the effect of a physical disability.
Statement 4 is a reason that provides the explanation for the questions put forth in the previous statement.
Statement 5 is a proposition since it expresses the author's opinion on compensating for a disability.
Statement 6 is a reason since it provides a justification for the findings of the research study mentioned in the beginning
of the statement.
Statement 7 too, is an extension of the same explanation and hence, can be termed as a reason. This eliminates option
(d).
Thus, option (c) alone presents the most suitable choice with 1-Fact, 2-Question, 4-Reason, 6-Reason.
Hence, the correct answer is Option (c).

62. Answer: D
Explanation: Statement 1 generalizes about "the chronic neglect of school education" based on a particular incident
(the death of twenty two children as a consequence of food poisoning).
Statements 2 and 3 follow the same trend and generalize about the "commitment to universal primary education" and
the "absence of strong normative procedures for the provision of infrastructure" on the basis of the aforementioned
incident.
Therefore, all three statements are inductive inferences. This vindicates option (d) and eliminates the other options.
Hence, the correct answer is Option (d).

63. Answer: D
Explanation: The first paragraph of the passage talks about creative thinking and the process of brainstorming in a
group of people. The second paragraph describes the problems that individuals generally face in idea generation and
explains how these problems are circumvented whilst brainstorming as a group. It basically elaborates on the reasons
why brainstorming in a group works so well and gives its advantages. This is best put forth in Option (d).
The second paragraph gives no examples of brainstorming. Eliminate option (a).
The second paragraph in no way gives a contradictory view to the presented in the first paragraph. Eliminate options
(b) and (c).
Hence, the correct answer is Option (d).

64. Answer: D
Explanation: The main argument in the second paragraph of the passage is that when individuals try to come up with
ideas on their own, they do not fare as well as they do during idea generation in a group of people. Idea generation is
smoother when multiple perspectives are involved.
Option (a) is irrelevant to the main argument.
Option (b) reverses the logic of the argument - it says that a single individual should give multiple inputs; the argument
in the paragraph is that an individual should accept multiple inputs from others.
Option (c) is not directly related to the argument. It talks about team work in sports, but there are several other factors
involved here like amount of support given, playing conditions, skill, training etc. Also, this should be a concept not
restricted to India alone.
Option (d) is parallel to the reasoning in the second paragraph; it says that multiple inputs from various departments of
a company should be utilized for idea generation.
Hence, the correct answer is Option (d).
65. Answer: B

76. Answer: C
Explanation: Third to the left of Gautam sits Chintu and neither of them sit at the extremes => Gautam can sit either
on the fifth place or the sixth place.
If Gautam sits in the sixth place, then Chintu sits in the third place.
Exactly one person sits between Emraan and Chintu => Emraan can sit in either the first place or the fifth place.
Either arrangement cannot have Bablu and Dawood together.
Hence, Gautam does not sit in the sixth position.
=> Gautam sits in the fifth position and Chintu sits in the fifth position => Emraan sits in the fourth position.
=> Amar can sit in either the first position or the seventh position.
But if Amar sits in the seventh position, Bablu and Dawood cannot sit together. Hence, Amar sits in the first position
=> Farza sits in the third position.
Dawood's neighbour is not Gautam => Dawood sits in the seventh position and Bablu sits in the sixth Position.
Amar -- Chintu -- Farza -- Emraan -- Gautam -- Bablu -- Dawood
Farza sits to the left of Emraan.
