5 A boat sails 6 km/hr in still water, however it takes thrice as much time in going the same at distance
against the current when compared to the direction of the current. Find the speed of the current?
A. 3km/hr
B. 4km/hr
C. 2km/hr
D. 5km/hr
Your Answer : A
Correct Answer : A
Given condition:
Total Marks : 200
Speed of the boat in still water = 6 km/hr.
Speed of boat in downstream = 3 * speed of boat in upstream.
Let the speed of the current be ‘x’ km/hr.
Therefore, speed of the boat in upstream (i.e against the current) = (6-x) km/hr.
Speed of the boat in downstream (i.e in the direction of current) = (6+x) km/hr
Now, substituting values in given condition, we get
(6+x) = 3 * (6-x)

D. 175%
Your Answer : D
Correct Answer : D
From the given data, the total population of city E is 15% of 8.5 lakh, of which 70 % is adult
population.
Therefore, adult population of city E = (15 /100) * (70/100) * 8.5 lakh =89,250.
From the given data, the total population of city F is 10% of 8.5 lakh, of which 60 % is adult
population.
Therefore, adult population of city F = (10 /100) * (60/100) * 8.5 lakh = 51000.

Your Answer : D
Correct Answer : D
As per the given information, the velocity of the stream is 4 km/hr.
The speed of the boat in still water is 10 km/hr.
Therefore, speed of boat in downstream = (10+4) = 14 km/hr.
The speed of boat in upstream = (10-4) = 6 km/hr.
Let the distance between A and B be ‘x’. As C is in the midway between A and B, distance between
B and C is x/2.

If A can do a work in ‘x’ days and A + B can do the same work in ‘y’ days, then the number of days
required to complete the work if B works alone is given by the formula: ( x * y)/(x-y).
Aman alone takes 5 days (i.e x) to complete a piece of work and along with his son he can complete
same of piece of work in 3 days(i.e y).
Therefore, his son alone takes ( x * y)/(x-y) days to complete the same piece of work. By substituting

Since pipe B is faster than pipe A and thus, the tank will be emptied.
Part of the tank to be emptied = 2/5
Part emptied by (A+B) in 1 minute= (1/6 – 1/10) = 1/15.
Therefore, 1/15 : 2/5 :: 1: x

Let the length nofjothe train be ‘x’ meters.

M
Relative speed of train and the first person who is moving at the speed of 5 m/s in opposite direction
= (s+5) m/s.
Therefore, total distanced travelled (i.e length of train) ‘x’= Relative speed X time
x = (s+5) * 6 ----( Eq 1)
Relative speed of train and the second person who is moving at the speed of 10 m/s in opposite
direction = (s+10) m/s
Therefore, total distanced travelled (i.e length of train) ‘x’ = Relative speed X time
x = (s+10) * 5 --- (Eq 2)
Total Marks : 200
Since length of the train is same in both the cases, if we equate the equation 1 and equation 2 we
get
(s+5) * 6 = (s+10) * 5
6s+30= 5s+50
6s – 5s = 50 – 30
s = 20 m/s (i.e speed of the train)

Earth has never in its history had a quasi-stable state that is around 2C warmer than the
preindustrial which suggest that there is substantial risk that the system, itself, will 'want' to
continue warming because of all of these other processes—even if we stop emissions. What happens
after that threshold is reached is that Earth’s feedback loop, which normally cools the planet and
offsets some of the human activity, will actually fail. Or, rather, it will reverse. More carbon is fed
into our atmosphere as rainforests dry up and permafrost melts, releasing methane. That self-
reinforces the warming effects we’re already seeing. And as more rainforests evaporate, Arctic
permafrost melts, ice caps at both poles of the planet disappear, and coral reefs die off, even more
carbon is released into the atmosphere, adding yet more fuel to the dysfunctional system. Basically, it
means Earth itself becomes a primary source of greenhouse gas emissions. It will come to a point
where nothing humans can do will help mitigate the changes.
Q. Which of the following is the most logical and critical inference that can be drawn from the
passage?
A. There is very little we can do to stop carbon emission now, considering the fact that the
damage has already been done

Daniel Goleman, a psychologist and journalist who popularized the term, explains that “Emotional
intelligence refers to how well we handle ourselves and our relationships.” It is another kind of brain
power, but rather than helping us solve puzzles it helps us regulate our emotions and understand
others. People who have a high EQ can enjoy a variety of benefits, including a better sense of self-
awareness, superior regulation of emotions, the ability to understand others, greater motivation, a
broader social network, and a higher income. In an age where we are more connected than ever
before with diverse people we might not share histories with, emotional intelligence is a vital tool for
success.

Ans. D. I is wrong as emotional intelligence is concerned with a wide gamut of issues including
decision making and not just personal and professional relationships. II is wrong as the passage
does not pit EQ against IQ. Hence D.

55 Passage 5
It’s not groundbreaking to propose that war, unfortunately, means business. While it was devastating, World
War 2 also reduced the unemployment rate in the United States, still recovering from the Great Depression,
from 25% to 10% almost immediately. People were put to work making weapons and supplies for the war effort,
and the phenomenal economic boom of the postwar economy brought prosperity back to the country.

A. The business of war is quite lucrative

B. World War 2 had a positive impact on US Economy
C. The strength of US economy is on account of its business in weapons

Ans. A. The passage focusses on the lucrative business of war. US has been used as an example to
show how war benefits a nation’s economy. Hence A is correct.

59 Read the following 6 passages and answer the 7 questions that follow
Passage 1
While Bretton Woods institutions were to embed the new financial trade order, U.S. Treasury department
official, Harry Dexter White, and economist John Maynard Keynes had more than just the regulation of the
international monetary system in mind at the time. An International Trade Organisation (ITO) was also to be
created to establish multilateral rules for the settlement of trade disputes. Adherence to the rules of an
international trade organisation was expected to serve as an important domestic incentive (and imperative) for
governments by allowing them to resist protectionist demands and provide for greater legal certainty.
Successive multilateral conferences were held between 1946 and 1948, and led to the adoption of the Havana
Charter, a draft agreement for the creation of the ITO. But the ITO never came into existence as it was
eventually rejected by the U.S. when, in 1950, President Harry Truman announced that he would not submit the
Havana Charter to the Congress. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) came to replace the ITO,
interestingly as an ad hoc and provisional mechanism.
Q. Which of the following is/are true, based on your reading of the passage?

of the key discussion points while deciding the framework of liberal institutions. D comes closest
and is thus the correct option.
61 Passage 2
As long as humans have formed shared identities around ethnicity, religion, race, language, and
culture, those identities have been subject to erasure, from colonialism to war to economic
globalisation to linguistic homogenisation to environmental change. Just look to the island nations of
Tuvalu and Kiribati, preparing to sink beneath the sea, or to Greenland, preparing for its ice to melt
away.
Q. Why is the author using the example of Tuvalu and Kiribati in the passage?
A. To explain how environmental disasters are a big threat to humanity

B. To emphasize the point that shared identities have been erased since long as a result of
environmental change
Total Marks : 200
C. To explain the reason why these countries are clamoring for action against Climate Change
Your Answer :
Correct Answer : B
Ans. B. These countries are being used as an example in the passage to explain how environmental
changes have been responsible throughout history of erasing shared identities. The focus is neither
on environmental disasters nor on action against climate change. Hence B.

63 Passage 4
If we look at any objects in nature or some items made by human hands, we may find there is a
beauty, symmetry and wholeness in their form. Whenever any object breaks, it becomes fragmented
and disjointed. We feel agitated when something breaks, and we want to either discard it or piece it
back together. When anything we admire is shattered to pieces, the peace of the atmosphere and our
peace of mind are disturbed.
We find that we have within us an innate sense of oneness and unity. This does not only extend to
objects, but to human relations. We crave for unity in our family, among our friends, within our sports
team, and within our community and country. There is peace and contentment when a mother holds
her child. There is love and joy when lover and beloved meet. There is a sense of understanding and
happiness when two friends sit together. When this oneness is lacking, there is a sense of
disharmony.
Q. Which of the following is the most accurate explanation of the views expressed in the passage?
A. Unity is a condition which underlies God’s creation. The peace we feel in unity is a reflection
of our true state existence
B. That original unity is God himself. There was no division, no separation and no duality. He
was a formless ocean of all consciousness, bliss and light. 7 13

The map of the world has never remained static. Right now, there are secessionist movements from

ways and forms in which groups assert themselves might differ, but what unites them all is a clear
sense of communal identity: one that demands to be seen, heard, and acknowledged as legitimate.

passage?
A. Communal identity is a powerful uniting factor as it tugs at people’s emotions

B. Nations formed on the basis of communal identities are stronger

There is not a shred of doubt that we are making a grave mistake when we make our young people
anxious about their careers too early in life. It is only normal that parents should be concerned about
their children’s future, but this should not be at the expense of a solid, rich and broad educational
foundation. Early specialization makes learning limited and narrow. In any case, it should be
understood that the world is changing so fast that specializations become obsolete in no time.

Since ages, women have been the soft target for physical, mental and emotional abuse and
humiliation. In the falsely perceived male dominated society, she is the one found to be
compromising, adjusting and struggling for her survival. People forget that woman is the feminine
aspect of the Divine Creative Forces. She is the manifestation of these cosmic forces in human form.
In spite of such potential power within women, she falls prey to the abuse, atrocity and humiliation by
men. Women are predominantly emotional humans and also by the virtue of love showering entity

Experience Machine refers to a philosophical thought experiment that is used to refute the argument
that people simply seek the maximum amount of pleasure in their daily lives. It was proposed by
American philosopher Robert Nozick in his 1974 book Anarchy, State, and Utopia. Nozick devised the
idea of a machine that can simulate only good feelings in people who choose to plug themselves into
it and asked if people would opt for it. He went on to argue that most people would choose to live
their lives plugged outside an experience machine.

C. The politicization of police must be stopped as it is harmful for the security of nation
Your Answer :
Correct Answer : B
Ans. B. Hiring more policemen is not logical as India’s population is so high that even then the
police population ratio of India would be low. C is not the key focus of the passage. The passage
seeks to highlight the challenges faced by the police which make them ineffective in dealing with
certain crimes like lynching. B is a critical and logical corollary as incorporation of technology
would help in boosting the capability of police in India. Hence B.

78 Passage 5
Serious religious thinkers have tended to distinguish between ritual and religion. Some, of course,
have distinguished between spirituality and religion too, mostly because they have associated religion
with rituals. Now, rituals have their uses, as long as we employ them in the full awareness that they
are arbitrary and man-made. This applies to secular matters as well as religious ones. A ritual in
secular life is like a ritual in religion: it is demanding, obsessive, unavoidable, essential.
Q. Based on your understanding of the passage, the key focus of the passage is
A. Explaining the futility of rituals

B. Highlighting the importance of critical thinking and raising one’s voice against arbitrariness
C. Highlighting the similarity of religious and secular rituals if practiced without application of
mind
D. The necessity of non-interfering in religious matters in a secular state

Correct Answer : D
Ans. D. A is wrong as the passage never states that credit has not been given to NSA for tracking
down Osama Bin Laden. B is wrong as intelligence gathering can be done in a number of ways,
using satellite is just one of the several ways and thus the assumption that intelligence gathering is
resource intensive is wrong. C is the obtuse focus of the passage and hence is not most accurate.

The Average speed= (Total Distance/Total Time taken)

Time taken to cover first 12 km= (Distance/Speed)= (12/3)= 4 hours

Total possible values obtained after throwing first dice = 6.

Total possible values obtained after throwing second dice = 6.

Various possibilities of getting sum of 6 is (1,5), (2,4), (3,3),(4,2) and (5,1) = 5.

Thus, probability of getting the sum of 6 = 5/36.

Hence, option (c) is correct.

720 * 3 = 2160 ways.

Hence, option (a) is correct.

Let the original number of men in the group be ‘x’. (M1)

After 6 men left, the size of group be (x-6) men. (M2)

Now using the above formula, we get

Speed of the boat in still water = 6 km/hr.

Speed of boat in downstream = 3 * speed of boat in upstream.

Let the speed of the current be ‘x’ km/hr.

Now, substituting values in given condition, we get

Hence, option (a) is correct.

It is given that ratio of male to female is 3:2.

Adult population of City A = (72/100) * 1,78,500 = 1,28,520.

The adult female population of City A = (5/12) * 1,28,520 = 53,550.

Hence, option (c) is correct.

The adult population of City B = (65/100) * 2,04,000 = 1,32,600.

The adult male population of City B = (8/13) * 1,32,600 = 81,600.

The adult female population of City B = (5/13) * 1,32,600 = 51,000.

As per the given information, the velocity of the stream is 4 km/hr.

The speed of the boat in still water is 10 km/hr.

Therefore, speed of boat in downstream = (10+4) = 14 km/hr.

The speed of boat in upstream = (10-4) = 6 km/hr.

Total time taken to reach is 26 hours.

Therefore, x/14 + (x/2)/6 = 26

 (3*10) + (3 * 6) + (3 *5*4) = 30+18+60 = 108.

Therefore, probability of exactly two of them being men is 108/495 = 12/55

Hence, option (b) is correct.

From the given data, we can get

To form the word we use arrangement.

The word NUMBER have 6 alphabets.

Hence, option (d) is correct.

Thus, (x/3 + x/2)= 5

Thus, distance between her house and school is 6 km.

Hence, option (a) is correct.

It is given that population of City F in year 1990 was 12 lakh.

Population of city F has further increased by 55 % from 2000 to 2010.

Therefore, population of City F in year 2010 was 1.55 * 21 = 32.55 lakh.

Hence, option (b) is correct.

Let the population in year 2000 be ‘x’.

Therefore, its population in year 2010 = (160/100) * x = 8x/5.

Hence, option (c) is correct.

Therefore, the population of City A in year in 1990

 37.7 *(100/145)*(100/130) = 20 lakh

Therefore, the population of City B in year 2010 is 20 lakh.

The population of city B in 2010 = 20 * (140/100)*(150/100) = 42 lakh.

Hence, option (b) is correct.

Therefore, population of City C in year 1990 = (100/170) * (100/160) * 27.2

The population of City D in year 1990 = (100/136) * 27.2 lakh = 20 lakh.

Let the population of City E in year 1990 be ‘x’.

Therefore, the population of City E in year 2010 = x * (150/100) * (140/100)

Hence, option (d) is correct.

21 If a person cycled at 10 km/hr to the office from his house, he reaches

Let the distance between house and office be ‘x’ km.

Time taken by the person to reach office if he travels at the speed of

Thus, time difference= (60t+6-60t+6)/60 = 12/60 hours … (Eq 2)

Equating the equation 1 and equation 2 we get x/60= 12/60

 (310) + (3 6) + (3 54) = 30+18+60 = 108.

 37.7 (100/145)(100/130) = 20 lakh
