• 100liters
• 90liters
• 95liters
• 120liters
Answer: - If 100v is the capacity of the vessel, spirit present in the end= 17v-1.7
17𝑣−1.7 1
∴ ∗ 100 = 15 9
100𝑣
17𝑣−1.7 136
∴ =

• 15000m
• 15400m
• 16000m
• 15800m
Answer: - Distance = (Speed x Time)
10
∴D= {92.4 x 60 }= 15.4 km = 15400m
33. A covers a distance from X to Y on cycle at 16 km/hr. However, he covers the

distance from Y to Z on foot at 9 km/hr. Determine the average speed.
• 11 km/hr.
• 11.52km/hr.
• 12km / hr.
• 15km/hr.
2 x 16 x9 288
Answer: - Average speed = { }= = 11.52 km/hr
16+9 25
34. The solution of is
• 1/8
• -1/8
• 8/3
• -8/3
Answer:
Given equation is
(2x+3) (3x+1) = (3x-1) (2x-1)
= 6x2 + 11x + 3
= 6x2 - 5x + 1
= 16x +2
16x = -2
x=-
35. A journey of 300 km takes two hours more when the speed of a care is reduced by
5km/hr. What is the original speed of the car?
• 30
• 40
• 70
• 80
Answer:
Let the speed of the car is x km/hr. Then
Speed = distance/ time:
=2
=>
x2 - 5x - 750 = 0
x2 - 30x + 25x - 750 = 0
(x - 30) (x + 25) = 0
x =30 or x = -25
The negative value of x is inadmissible; therefore, the speed of the car is 30
km/hr.

The world dismisses curiosity by calling it idle or mere idle curiosity even though curious persons are
seldom idle. Parents do their best to extinguish curiosity in their children because it makes life
difficult to be faced every day with a string of unanswerable questions about what makes fire hot or
why grass grows. Children whose curiosity survives parental discipline are invited to join our
university. With the university, they go on asking their questions and trying to find the answers. In
the eyes of a scholar, that is what a university for. some of the questions which the scholars ask
seem to the world to be scarcely worth asking, let alone answering. they asked questions too minute
and specialized for you and me to understand without years of explanation. If the world inquires of
one of them why he wants to know the answer to a particular question he may say especially if he is
a scientist, that the answer will in some obscure way make possible a new machine or weapon or
gadget. He talks that way because he knows that the world understands and respects utility.
But to you who are now part of the university, he will say that he wants to know the answer simply
because he does not know it, the way the mountain climber wants to climb a mountain, simply
because it is there. Similarly, a historian asked by an outsider why he studies history may come out
with the argument that he has learnt to respect to report on such occasions, something about
knowledge of the past making it possible to understand the present and mold the future. But if you
really want to know why a historian studies the past, the answer is much simpler, something
happened and he would like to know what. All this does not mean that the answers which scholars
to find to their enormous consequences but these seldom form the reason for asking the question or
pursuing the answers. It is true that scholars can be put to work answering questions for sake of the
consequences as thousands are working now, for example, in search of a cure for cancer. But this is
not the primary scholars. For the consequences are usually subordinate to the satisfaction of
curiosity.
18. According to their passage, parents do their best to discourage curiosity in their children
A. because they have no time
B. because they have no patience to answer them
C. because they feel that their children ask stupid questions continuously
D. because they are unable to answer all the questions
Soft bodied animals like caterpillars often fall a prey to voracious hunters like birds or reptiles. Despite
having no means to 'actively' defend themselves, with weapons like claws or jaws, they have
nevertheless, evolved other equally effective deterrents. A particular species of the caterpillar lives at an
altitude over 2.500 metres in the Himalayas. It uses prominent colour to inform would be predators of its
in edibility. In the event that an inexperienced or adventurous bird did eat the caterpillar, it would
probably vomit it soon after, and subsequently desist from attacking similar species in future. Though this
would do the unfortunate victim no good, the species benefits. A rare example of the martyr among
animals.
19. Experienced birds do not attack the Himalayan caterpillars because they are
A. repulsive
B. very aggressive
C. inedible
D. diseased

The correct sequence is 42135

The sequence represents the life-cycle of a product.

Next stage is "Introduction" where the product is launched in the market.

Next stage is "Growth", where the demand of the product rises.

Thereafter "Decline" stage comes where product is out of demand.

Hence option (B) is correct.

Srishti’s mother’s husband means Srishti’s father.

Brother of Srishti’s mother’s husband means Srishti’s Uncle.

Hence option (B) is the correct answer.

Vikas is 15 m to the south-west of Arnav.

Conclusions : I. At least some trees are bushes.

A-if only conclusion I follows.

B-if only conclusion II follows.

C-if either conclusion I or conclusion II follows.

D-if neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.

All bushes are plants + Some plants are trees = A + I = No conclusion.

Hence, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II follows.

However, since they make a complementary pair I-O,

therefore, either conclusion I or conclusion II follows.
