Duration: 3 Hrs Maximum Marks: 100

Read the following instructions carefully:

There are total 65 questions carrying 100 marks: Q.1 to Q.25 (25 questions) will carry
one mark each (sub-total 25 marks). Q.26 to Q.55 (30 questions) will carry two marks each
(sub-total 60 marks).Question pairs (Q.48,Q 49) and (Q. 50, Q 51) are common data questions
and question pairs (Q.52, Q.53) and (Q.54, Q.55) are linked answer questions. The answer to
the second question of the last two pairs will depend on the answer to the first question of the
pair. If the first question in the linked pair is wrongly answered or is un-attempted, then the
answer to the second question in the pair will not be evaluated. Q 56 to Q 60 (5 questions) will
carry one mark each (sub-total 5 marks). Q 61 to Q 65 (5 questions) will carry two marks each
( sub-total 10 marks).

Negative Marking: For Q.1 to Q.25, 1/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. For
Q.26 to Q.55, 2/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. The question pairs (Q.52,
Q.53), and (Q.54, Q.55) are questions with linked answers. There will be negative marks only
for wrong answer to the first question of the linked answer question pair i.e. for Q.52 and
Q.54, 2/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. There is no negative marking for Q.53
and Q.55. For Q.56 to Q.60, 1/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer. For Q.61 to
Q.65, 2/3 mark will be deducted for each wrong answer.

Fill Objective Response Sheet (ORS) using a soft HB pencil. Do not use the ORS for any
rough work. You may like to use the Answer Book for any rough work, if needed.

The number is a multiple of 179,43and 15(multiple of 3 and 5).
As it is not multiple of 23, it is not divisible by 23.
61. Ans. (d)
Exp. Some of the engineers were immigrants
Response D is correct because it restates the third sentence in terms of the overlap
between immigrants and engineers in the country described in the paragraph.
Response A says that most immigrants are engineers or nurses, which are professional
occupations. However, the second sentence says that most immigrants are not
employed in professional occupations, so Response A is false. Response B is false
because it denies that there is any overlap between immigrants and nurses, even
though this overlap is clear from the third sentence of the paragraph.
Response C is false because it denies the overlap between immigrants and engineers.

Only possible solutions for (a, n) are (-1,-1) (-2,-1).
So, only one possible value of n exists.

Exp. ( 39 )11 = 3 × 111 + 9 × 11o = ( 42 )10
( 62 )9 = 6 × 9 + 2 × 9o = ( 56 )10
42 + 56
AM of ( 39 )11 and ( 62 )9 is = ( 49 )10

By, the condition.
(144 )n = ( 49 )10
⇒ 1 × n2 + 4 × n + 4 × no = 49
⇒ n2 + 4n − 45 = 0
⇒ ( n + 9 )( n − 5 ) = 0
⇒n=5
( ) ( )
Now, ( 32 )4 + ( 21)5 = 3 × 4 + 2 × 4o + 2 × 5 + 1 × 5o = ( 25 )10
Now, check (a), (b), (c), (d)
(a) (140 )5 = 1 × 52 + 4 × 5 + 0 × 5o = ( 45 )10 Similarly check (b), (d)

Now, (c) (100 )5 = 1 × 52 + 0 × 51 + 0 × 5o = ( 25 )10

65. Ans. (c)
Exp. Here sample space (S) = 6 × 6 = 36. Favorable
Cases for the problem are 8 i.e.((5,1) ,(5,2), (6,1), (6,2), (1,5),( 2,5),
(1, 6), (2, 6).
Therefore, required probability = 8/36 = 2/9.
