Similarly,
30. (a) Look at the numbered alphabet and write down the no. position
corresponding to the letters of the word 'ROAM'
R O A M
18 15 1 13
The fact that the code for the ROAM is 44, gives you a clue that
the code is Probably obtained by performing all airthmatical
operations of the numbers of each letter.
Let us see
18 + 15 + 1 + 13 = 47
Further we have to find the final code which is given in the
question is '44'.
To get the final code we have to substract 3 from the addition of
the position of the each letter i.e. 47 – 3 = 44.
Similarly for, HIMP as 43
Thus, the code for 'BONE' is
B O N E
2 + 15 + 14 + 5 = 36
So, the final code is 36 – 3 = 33
31. (d) 32. (a)

The following diagram gives you the more clear picture:
Hence PB can replace the question mark.

35. (a) 6 + 3 ÷ 9 × 7 – 5
Here we have to interchange the no. 7 and 6 as
⇒ 7+3÷9×6–5
⇒ 7+ ×6–5
⇒ 7+2–5
9–5=4
Hence proved. The equation will be equal to 4.
36. (b) Here you can see that 1 and 3 letters omitted alternatively in given
alphabetic sequence. The following diagram gives you the more
clear picture.
Clearly
'P' (skip 1 letter) 'R'
'E' (skip 3 letter) 'I'
'N' (skip 1 letter) 'P'
'C, (skip 3 letter) 'G'
"I" (skip 1 letter)"K"
'L' (skip 3 letter) 'P'
Similarly,

alternatively and the other arrow added on the Head alternatively.
Hence the final arrangement
45. (b) Venn diagram for the given statement is
Conclusion (I): Some pencil are pen is definitely true because we

have given that– All pen are pencil it means some part of pencil are
also pen.
Conclusion (II): All sharpener are pen is definately false because
we have given only some pen are sharpener it means some
sharpener are also pen but not the all sharpener are pen.
46. (b)
(1) P is second to the left of S.
(2) M is to the immediate right of S.
(3) J is second to the right of H
Hence the correct position of J is second to the right of H.

47. (d) (1) A is four place above C
(2) E is three places below A
(3) D is between B and E
Arrangement is
Here, all the pair follow the pattern of immediate neighbor of each
other except AC.
48. (c) Venn diagram is like
Conclusions:-
(i) Some T are R is true
(ii) No B is T is T is false
(iii) No L is T is true
Hence both I and III follows.
49. (c) From the option no. (c),
Equation 9 ÷ 11 + 11 × 2 = 9 is incorrect as we interchanging the
given two signs ÷ & + ,
Now, we have to solve the equation
⇒ 9 + 11 ÷ 11 × 2 = 9
⇒9+1×2=9 ⇒ 9 + 2 = 9 ⇒ 11 ≠ 9
Hence the option (c) is incorrect.
50. (c) 17, 31, 47, 65, ?
The difference b/w two numbers are from right to left
31 – 17 = 14
47 – 31 = 16
65 – 47 = 18
Hence the pattern is

Hence the radius of circle is = 7 cm

Circumference of the circle is = 2πr
=2× × 7 = 44 cm
53. (c) Marked price of an article is = 3040

Discount = 20% = =
So, Hence the selling price = 4 unit.

Marked price is 5 unit.
5 unit → 3040
1 unit → 608
Hence the selling price is = 4 × 608 = ` 2432.
54. (a) Let present age of Manoj is x years.
and their two sons present age are y and z years.
According to the question,
x = 2(y + z) ...(i)
Their ages after 20 years.
x + 20 =(y + 20) + (z + 20)
x =y + z + 20
From equation (1),
x= + 20 ; x – = 20
= 20 ⇒ x = 40
Hence, present age of father = 40 years.

55. (a) Le the distance between A to B is d km.
Time of travel of first train = 11 – 6 = 5 hr.
Time of travel of second train
= 3 p.m. – 8 a.m. = 7 hr.
then Speed of first train = km/hr.
Speed of second train = km/hr.
Now, again we suppose that two train meet after t hr. from 8 a.m.
then, =d
=1
=1
12t = 35 – 14
t= = 1 hr. 45 min.
Hence, time when two train meets

=8 + (1 hr 45 min) = 9:45 am.
56. (d) The total number of shoes nanufactured by the company on all
seven days together is
Days = D1 + D2 + D3 + D4 + D5 + D6 + D7
= 720 + 628 + 740 + 942 + 966 + 1034 + 1200
= 6230
57. (c) Let the amount invested in third scheme is x then amount invested
in second scheme is 1000 – 4000 – x = (6000 – x)
Now, S.I. =
2800 =
2800 =800 + 1800 –
200 = ⇒ x = 1000
Hence, money invested in third scheme = ` 1000.

58. (c) (N + K)'s 1 days' work =
(K + G)'s 1 days' work =
(N + G)'s 1 days' work =
On adding, 2(N + K + G)'s 1 days work

=

Hence the median is

63. (b) L.C.M. of 6 and 7 = 42
Smallest 3 digits number divisible by 6 and 7 is the same that is
divisible by 42
and that number is A = 42 × 3 = 126
Largest 4 digits number that is divisible by 6
and 7 is the some that is divisible by 42
and that number is B = 238 × 42 = 9996
Now, B – A. = 9996 – 126 = 9870
64. (a) Raman's capital = `63000
Sanjay 's capital = `42000
Total profit = `9000
as we know,
Capital × Time = Profit
So, Ratio of their investments
Raman Sanjay
Capital 63000 : 42000
Time 1 year : 1 year
Profit 63000 : 42000
:
Hence the Raman's share is
⇒ ⇒ 1800 × 3 ⇒ `5400
65. (c) Ratio of the selling price to the cost price is = 4 : 5
Selling price is ` 80
Ratio,
Hence the loss is 1 unit

4 unit → 80
1 unit → 20
Hence the loss is 1 × 20 = ` 20
66. (c) (9 ÷ 30)2 × 2.4 + 0.3 of 12 × (1 – 0.3)2 + 9 × (0.3)2 = ?
⇒ (0.3)2 × 2.4 + 3.6 × (0.7)2 + 9 × (0.09)
⇒ (0.09) × 2.4 + 1.764 + 9 × (0.09)
⇒ 1.98 + 0.81
⇒ 2.79
67. (a) Vijay can do a work alone in 50 days

Father : Son
3x : 1x
Product of their ages is 432
i.e. 3x2 = 432
x2 = 144
x = ±12
Age connot be negative so we have to opt + 12.
Hence, the age of father = 3 × 12 = 36
Age of son = x = 12
Sum of their ages = 12 + 36 = 48 years.
71. (a) 2 of 3 ÷ 3 × 2 + {4 × 3 – (5 × 2 + 3)}

72. (a) Let the salary of Rakesh be 100 unit
We have given Rahul's salary is 40%
Less than Rakesh's salary and Deepak's salary is 80% more than
Rahul's salary.
So the ratio of the salaries are
Rakesh Deepak Rahul
100 108 60
(80% more than (40% less than
Rahul's Rakesh
= 48 100 – 40 = 60
60 + 48 = 108
Ratio's of salaries are
Rakesh Deepak Rahul
25 : 27 : 15
We have Deepak's salary = `34560
27 unit → `34560
1 unit → `1280
Hence the salary of Rakesh is
= 1280 × 25 = ` 32000
73. (b)
Average speed of the man =
We have given the average speed of the man = 60 km/h

= 60
⇒ = 60
⇒ = 60
⇒ 80x = 2400 + 60x

80x – 60x = 2400
2x = 240
x = 120
74. (c) Let the 4 no's be x1, x2, x3 and x4
Average = 20
x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 = 80
Average of first two numbers are 15
= 15
x1 + x2 = 30 ...(1)
x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 = 80
From the eq. (1) we have put the value of
x1 + x2 = 30
x3 + x4 = 80 – 30
x3 + x4 = 50
Hence the average of last two no. is
= = 25
75. (d) Given, Diagonal of a rhombus is 48 cm
Side of rhombus is 26 cm
Area of rhombus = × d1 × d2
The diagonal in a rhombus are perpendicular and bisect of other

diagonal.
Given length side 26 cm
One diagonal = 48 cm = DB
Now, OB = OD = 24 cm
Now consider triangle AOB this is a right angled triangle and we
know AB = 26 cm and OB = 24 cm
Now using the pythagorus theorem we can find out length of OA
as
OA2 = AB2 – OB2
= 676 – 576
OA2 = 100
OA = 10 cm
So the length of diagonal AC is 2 × 10 = 20 cm.
Area of Rhombus is × 20 × 48 = 480 cm2.

129. (b) A green leaf is green because of the presence of a pigment known
as chlorophyll, which is inside an organelle called a chloroplast.
When they are abundant in the leaf's cells, as they are during the
growing season, the chlorophylls' green color dominates and masks
out the colors of any other pigments that may be present in the leaf.
Thus the leaves of summer are characteristically green
130. (c) Temperature is measured by a thermometer. One of the most
common devices for measuring temperature is the glass
thermometer. This consists of a glass tube filled with mercury or
some other liquid, which acts as the working fluid. Temperature
increase causes the fluid to expand, so the temperature can be
determined by measuring the volume of the fluid. Such
thermometers are usually calibrated so that one can read the
temperature simply by observing the level of the fluid in the
thermometer.
131. (d) Aam Aadmi Party is the youngest party as on December 2013. It

Jan Lokpal Bill since 2011. The party's first electoral test was in
the 2013 Delhi legislative assembly election, from which it
emerged as the second-largest party, winning 28 of the 70 seats.
132. (a) At 25° C the pH of pure water is very close to 7. Acids have a pH

pH of 7, water is considered to be neutral. It is neither an acid nor a
base, but is the reference point for acids and bases.
133. (c) Distillation is a process of separating the component substances
(impurities) from a liquid mixture by selective evaporation and

Brothers of America," through which he introduced Hinduism at
the opening session of the Parliament on 11 September. Thereafter
he conducted hundreds of public and private lectures and classes,
disseminating tenets of Hindu philosophy in America, England and
Europe. In America Vivekananda became India's spiritual
ambassador.
138. (d) Chhatrapati Shivaji was a follower of Ramayana and Mahabharta
from his childhood. Shivaji Maharaj did everything possible to

141. (b) Abiotic resources are those that come from non-living, non-
organic material. Examples of abiotic resources include land, fresh
water, air and heavy metals including ores such as gold, iron,
copper, silver, etc. Biotic resources are obtained from the biosphere
(living and organic material), such as forests and animals, and the
materials that can be obtained from them. Fossil fuels such as coal
and petroleum are also included in this category because they are
formed from decayed organic matter.
142. (c) The concept of Judicial Review in the Constitution of India is
borrowed from USA. In the Indian constitution, Judicial review is
dealt with under Article 13. Judicial Review refers that the
Constitution is the supreme power of the nation and all laws are
under its supremacy.

Annual Financial Statement[1] in Article 112 of the Constitution of
India, is the annual budget of the Republic of India, presented each
year on the last working day of February by the Finance Minister
of India in Parliament. The budget, which is presented by means of
the Financial Bill and the Appropriation bill has to be passed by the
House before it can come into effect on April 1, the start of India's
financial year.
144. (a) If a portion of individuals income is spent on consumption, the
remaining portion will be saving. Since whatever is not consumed
must be saved, as soon as we specify a consumption function we
have necessarily specified a savings function. "Function" just
means that one thing depends on another thing or things.
145. (d) Phase of increasing returns is otherwise called decreasing revenue.
If output increases by more than that proportional change in inputs,
there are increasing returns to scale (IRS).
146. (b) A monopoly exists when a specific person or enterprise is the only

good or service and a lack of viable substitute goods.
147. (c) Maharashtra is the second most populous state as per census 2011
after Uttar Pradesh.
148. (a) New Zealand has parliamentary form of government. A
parliamentary system of government means that the executive
branch of government must have the direct or indirect support of
the parliament. This support is usually shown by a vote of
confidence. The relationship between the executive and the
legislature in a parliamentary system is called responsible
government. Parliamentary systems usually have a head of
government and a head of state. The head of government is the
prime minister, who has the real power. The head of state often is
an elected (either popularly or through parliament) president or, in
the case of a constitutional monarchy, hereditary.
149. (d) The primary sector of the economy is the sector of an economy
making direct use of natural resources. This includes agriculture,
forestry, fishing and mining. This is contrasted with the secondary
sector, producing manufactured goods, and the tertiary sector,
producing services.

117. (c) Hibernate is the word that is never used to switch off the computer
118. (b) Highly concentrated sources of oxygen promote rapid combustion.
Fire and explosion hazards exist when concentrated oxidants and
fuels are brought into close proximity; however, an ignition event,
such as heat or a spark, is needed to trigger combustion. Oxygen
itself is not the fuel, but the oxidant.
119. (a) The Dumas method in analytical chemistry is a method for the
quantitative determination of nitrogen in chemical substances based
on a method first described by Jean-Baptiste Dumas in 1826.
120. (b) Delhi-Kolkata section
121. (c) The Tropic of Cancer, also referred to as the Northern tropic, is the
circle of latitude on the Earth that marks the most northerly position
at which the Sun may appear directly overhead at its zenith.
122. (d) The demographics of the People’s Republic of China are identified
by a large population with a relatively small youth division, which
is partially a result of China’s one-child policy. Chinese population
reached the billion mark in 1982.
123. (c) Sethusamudram Shipping Canal Project is a proposed project that
would link Palk Bay and the Gulf of Mannar between India and Sri
Lanka by creating a shipping channel through the shallow sea called
Sethusamudram and through a chain of islands collectively called
Adam’s Bridge, Ramar Palam , Ram Sethu and similar names. This
would provide a continuously navigable sea route in and around the
Indian Peninsula.
124. (d) A metropolitan area, sometimes referred to as a metro area or
metro, is a region consisting of a densely populated urban core and
its less-populated surrounding territories, sharing industry,
infrastructure, and housing. A metropolitan area usually comprises
multiple jurisdictions and municipalities: neighborhoods,
townships, cities, exurbs, countries, and even states.
125. (a) Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that encodes the
genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all
known living organisms and many viruses. DNA is a nucleic acid;
alongside proteins and carbohydrates, nucleic acids compose the
three major macromolecules essential for all known forms of life.
126. (a) A steroid hormone (abbreviated as sterone) is a steroid that acts as a
hormone. Steroid hormones can be grouped into five groups by the
receptors to which they bind: glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids,
androgens, estrogens, and progestogens. Vitamin D derivatives are
a sixth closely related hormone system with homologous receptors,
though they are technically sterols rather than steroids. Steroid
hormones help control metabolism, inflammation, immune
functions, salt and water balance, development of sexual
characteristics, and the ability to withstand illness and injury.
127. (a) nematocyst, minute, elongated, or spherical capsule produced
exclusively by members of the phylum Cnidaria (e.g., jellyfish,
corals, sea anemones). Several such capsules occur on the body
surface. Each is produced by a special cell called a cnidoblast and
contains a coiled, hollow, usually barbed thread, which quickly
turns outward (i.e., is everted) from the capsule upon proper
stimulation. The purpose of the thread, which often contains poison,
is to ward off enemies or to capture prey.
128. (a) Lactobacillus, also called Döderlein’s bacillus, is a genus of Gram-
positive facultative anaerobic or microaerophilic rod-shaped
bacteria.
129. (c) Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in cyanobacteria and the
chloroplasts of algae and plants. Its name is derived from the Greek
words chloros (“green”) and phyllon (“leaf ”). Chlorophyll is an
extremely important biomolecule, critical in photosynthesis, which
allows plants to absorb energy from light.
130. (b) In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy which it
possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to
accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity.
Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body
maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.
131. (c) The ozone layer is a layer in Earth’s atmosphere that absorbs most
of the Sun’s UV radiation. It contains relatively high concentrations
of ozone (O3), although it is still very small with regard to ordinary
oxygen, and is less than ten parts per million, the average ozone
concentration in Earth’s atmosphere being only about 0.6 parts per
million. The ozone layer is mainly found in the lower portion of the
stratosphere from approximately 20 to 30 kilometres (12 to 19 mi)
above Earth, though the thickness varies seasonally and
geographically.
132. (a) Airlift pumps are often used in deep dirty wells where sand would
quickly abrade mechanical parts. (The compressor is on the surface
and no mechanical parts are needed in the well). However airlift
wells must be much deeper than the water table to allow for
submergence. Air is generally pumped at least as deep under the
water as the water is to be lifted. (If the water table is 50 ft below,
the air should be pumped 100 feet deep).
133. (a) The passenger-side mirror on a car is typically a convex mirror. In
some countries, these are labeled with the safety warning “Objects
in mirror are closer than they appear”, to warn the driver of the
convex mirror’s distorting effects on distance perception. Convex
mirrors are preferred in vehicles because they give an upright,
though diminished, image. Also they provide a wider field of view
as they are curved outwards.
134. (b) charts
135. (a) Dalveer Bhandari (born 1 October 1947) is a member of the
International Court of Justice and was a justice of the Supreme
Court of India. Bhandari is notable for his interest in
computerization and intellectual property law. Also he has a history
of promoting legal education, both to professionals and to the
general public who might be litigants. He has established mediation
and conciliation centers in Maharastra and an information centre for
litigants in the Bombay High Court.
136. (c) non-luminous zone
137. (d) Gamma radiation, also known as gamma rays, and denoted by the
Greek letter, refers to electromagnetic radiation of extremely high
frequency and therefore high energy per photon. Gamma rays are
ionizing radiation, and are thus biologically hazardous.
138. (a) Gives us atmospheric pressure - Ozone layer shields earth from
UV radiation - Ionosphere layer allows radio waves to be bounced
off and radios to work - Prevents water from vaporising off the
earth thanks to atmospheric pressure.
139. (d) Bacillus Calmette-Guérin is a vaccine against tuberculosis that is
prepared from a strain of the attenuated live bovine tuberculosis
bacillus, Mycobacterium bovis, that has lost its virulence in
humans.
140. (a) The United Nations declared 2010 to be the International Year of
Biodiversity. It is a celebration of life on earth and of the value of
biodiversity for our lives. The world is invited to take action in
2010 to safeguard the variety of life on earth: biodiversity.
141. (b) A greenhouse gas (sometimes abbreviated GHG) is a gas in an
atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal
infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the
greenhouse effect. The primary greenhouse gases in the Earth’s
atmosphere are water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous
oxide, and ozone.
142. (b) The Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention
on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is an international treaty that sets
binding obligations on industrialised countries to reduce emissions
of greenhouse gases. The UNFCCC is an environmental treaty with
the goal of preventing “dangerous” anthropogenic (i.e., human-
induced) interference of the climate system.
143. (a) Sanjukta Panigrahi (24 August 1944 - 24 June 1997) [1] was a
dancer of India, who was the foremost exponent of Indian classical
dance Odissi. Sanjukta was the first Oriya girl to embrace this
ancient classical dance at an early age and ensure its grand revival.
144. (a) Vangipurapu Venkata Sai Laxman, commonly known as V.V.S.
Laxman, is a former Indian cricketer. Laxman represents
Hyderabad in domestic cricket and has played for Lancashire in
English county cricket.
145. (a) For much of the second phase of his career, cyclist Lance
Armstrong faced persistent allegations of doping. Armstrong
consistently denied allegations of doping until a partial confession
during a January 14, 2013, interview with Oprah Winfrey (which
then was broadcast in two parts on the Oprah Winfrey Network on
January 17 and 18, 2013).
146. (b) Gagan Narang is an Indian shooter, in Air rifle shooting, supported
by the Olympic Gold Quest. He was the first Indian to qualify for
the London Olympics.
147. (c) The father of the White Revolution in India was Verghese Kurien.
The white mentioned is milk production. He was able to implement
programs that took India from a country with very little dairy
production to the world’s largest producer.
148. (b) Charles Robert Darwin, FRS (12 February 1809 - 19 April 1882)
was an English naturalist and geologist, best known for his
contributions to evolutionary theory. He established that all species
of life have descended over time from common ancestors, and in a
joint publication with Alfred Russel Wallace introduced his
scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted
from a process that he called natural selection, in which the struggle
for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved
in selective breeding.
149. (d) Kuldip Nayar (born 14 August 1923) is a veteran Indian journalist,
syndicated columnist, human right activist and author, noted for his
long career as a left-wing political commentator. He was also
nominated as a Member of the upper house of the Indian Parliament
in 1997. Nayar is also the author of 15 books, including “Beyond
the Lines”, “Distant Neighbours: A Tale of the Subcontinent”,
“India after Nehru”, “Wall at Wagah, India-Pakistan Relationship”,
“The Judgement”, “The Martyr”, “Scoop” and “India House”.
150. (b) According to GOI report, the total population of Bihar is
8,29,98,509 of which Schedule Tribes constitute 7,58,351. The
decennial growth of ST population in Bihar has been 32.4 per cent
which is 3.8 per cent higher than the rate of general population.
