Q.69) Option (A).
(B) is not an inference drawn from the passage
Q.70) Option (A).

00
Only I is correct as till 1962 welfare of children was not the primary aim but it was still one of the aspects. The
16
article only talks about India and as such conclusions with respect to the world cannot be drawn
Q.71) Option (B).

Given in the passage itself. The option A is not inference that can be drawn from the passage as it talks only of one
law which has a gender based restriction which is not inherently biased.
1
Q.72) Option (C).

18
Option A is a very absolute statement and restrictions may be imposed upon the Fundamental Rights.
Q.73) Option (D).
Q.74) Option (D).
Q.75) Option (C).

A and B might be true in themselves but the author has not talked about them in the passage. Hence any

Q.84) Option (A).
08
Deduction of 50% is excessive but some amount may be deducted but anything less than 50% would not be
reasonable either as even 49.9% is also less than 50%
Q.85) Option (C).

The 50% deduction would still remain and the passage does not talk about increase in wages but the percent
available to the prisoners in a certain form
Q.86) Option (D).

00
16

Section – IV: Quantitative Techniques
S.106–110) Directions for questions:
The number of graduates = 12% of 150 = 18

1
Number of PhDs required as per norms = 18  6 = 108

Number of PhDs in the university = 30% of 150 = 45
18
Additional PhDs required = 108 – 45 = 63
Q.106) Option (B).
Q.107) Option (D).

Number of staff in the university = 18% of 150 = 27
This is divided in the ratio 7:2
Number of non technical staff = (2/9)  27
=6
Q.108) Option (A).

Number of PhDs = 30% of 150
Number of graduates = 12% of 150
Required value = (30/12)  100
= 250%
Q.109) Option (C).

No. of PhDs in the University = 30% of 150 = 45.
So, 45 PhDs must be having 45  2 = 90 research scholars.
Remaining research scholars = 135 – 90 = 45 research scholars.
So, 45 post graduates must have more than 10 years experience.
CP/20/C25
Total number of post graduates = 40% of 150 = 60.

Therefore, 60 – 45 = 15 post graduates must be having less than 10 years work experience.
So, percentage of post graduates having less than 10 years work experience
= (15/60)  100
= 25%
Q.110) Option (B).

It is given that there is a growth of 20% in the total employees.
Let there be y employees in the previous year.
1
y  120/100 = 150
y = 125
08
Also, there is a growth of 50% in the number of post graduates.
Number of post graduates = 60.
Let there be z post graduates in the last year.
So, z  150/100 = 60
z = 40
In the last year there were 40 post graduates out of 125.
Percentage of post graduates = (40/125)  100
= 40  4/5
= 160/5
00
16
= 32%
S.111– 115) Directions for questions:
It is known that the expenditure of gamma and alpha was in the ratio 5:4. If the expenditure of gamma is
1
Rs.20,000, the expenditure of alpha will be Rs.16,000.

Also, the profit percentage of alpha is 25% and so the profit of alpha will be Rs.4,000.
18
The total sales of alpha will be = Rs.16,000 + Rs.4,000 = Rs.20,000

Expenditure of gamma was 20% more than the sales of beta.
Let the sales of beta be y.
Therefore, y  120/100 = 20,000
y = 50,000/3 = Rs. 16666.66
Net profit of beta is double the net profit of alpha and so the net profit of beta will be Rs.8000.
Expenditure of beta = Rs.16666.66 – Rs.8000
= Rs.8666.66
It is given that the expenditure of delta is same as the sales of alpha.
So, expenditure of delta will be Rs.20,000.
Q.111) Option (D).

It is known that profit is 20%.
So, profit will be 20% of 20,000 = Rs.4000.
Therefore, sales of delta will be = 20,000 + 4,000 = Rs.24,000
Q.112) Option (C).

The expenditure of beta in the year 2018 is Rs.8666.66 as calculated in the main explanation above.
Q.113) Option (A).

Expenditure of gamma is Rs.20,000 and total sales is Rs.28,000.
CP/20/C25
So, profit will be Rs.8000.

Profit percentage = (8000/20000)  100
= 200/5 = 40%
Q.114) Option (C).

Total sales of alpha = Rs.20,000
Sales of theta is 25% more than the sales of alpha and so sales of theta in the year 2019 will be
= 20,000 + 25% of 20,000
= Rs.25,000
1
It is given that the sales of theta is the year 2018 = Rs.18,000
Percentage change = [(25,000 – 18,000)/18,000]  100
08
= (7/18)  100
= 700/18
= 350/9
= 39%
Q.115) Option (D).

00
Since the total sales of gamma in the year 2019 is not known we cannot calculate this value.
S.116– 120) Directions for questions:

16
Q.116) Option (B).
For B, the salary has more than doubled from 2017 to 2019 while the same is not true for the other 3 people.
Q.117) Option (D).

1
Change in the salary of D = [(2,00,000 – 1,75,000) / 1,75,000]  100

= (25/175)  100
18
= 100/7
= 14.28%
Q.118) Option (B).

Average salary of the 4 employees in the year 2019
= (155000 + 60000 + 120000 + 200000)/4
= Rs.133750
The salary of E is 10% more than the average.
Salary of E will be = 133750  1.1
= 133750 + 13375
= Rs.147125/–
Q.119) Option (C).

Required ratio = 155000: 60000
= 155:60
= 31:12
Q.120) Option (A).

Average salary of the 4 employees in the year 2017
= (120000 + 25000 + 70000 + 150000)/4
= Rs.91,250

Section – V: Logical Reasoning

Q.121) Option (C).
Both a and b explain and provide for supporting statements to brand proliferation and brand extension. Option a
provides the distinction between proliferation and extension and option b provides the further exemplifies brand
proliferation. Thus, c is the right choice.
1
Q.122) Option (A).
Brand proliferation is about having multiple brands under one head and therefore option a is the right choice.
Option b is an example of brand extension.
08
Q.123) Option (C).
losing money and losing consumers are both negatives and hence weaken the arguments in favour of brand
proliferation. Option c is therefore the right choice.
Q.124) Option (C).

00
Both a and b are right choices. Both options bring out the difficulty with managing more than one brands and the
shorting comings that come with one brand facing the other as competitor. Thus, c is the right choice.
16
Q.125) Option (D).
the problem with brand proliferation is that of managing multiple brands for a common product. Thus, both
options a and b give methods of segregating without one brand eating the other up. Categorising is an option and
both a and b suggest it. Thus, d is the right choice.
1
Q.126) Option (C).

Both options a and b are correct and hence c is the right choice. Pepsi’s example and Godrej’s example are loud
18
and clear examples of acquisition. C is therefore the right choice.
Q.127) Option (A).

Option a brings out the reason why it is important to watch out for weaker companies and to eliminate them,
hence it is the right choice. Option b is only an example of status of one such company the author is suggesting
exists. Thus, not the right choice. C and d are therefore out of option.
Q.128) Option (B).

option a is only a statement. It does not state the reason behind brand proliferation and hence it is not the right
choice. Option b gives the reasons behind the weakness in brand proliferation. Hence b is the right choice.
Q.129) Option C.
Q.130) Option (A).

Option a is the correct option. The option entails in it a broad title along with it a sub–title which is the weakness of
brand proliferation; hence a is the right choice. Option b though maybe true but is not the correct title as it does
not provide for an all–encompassing theme to the premise. Hence a is the right choice.
Q.131) Option (A).

Option a is the right choice as adoption of branchless banking by countries across since 2007 is a positive
development and hence a is the right answer.
CP/20/C25
Q.132) Option (C).

Providing structural and technical reform and low–cost solutions to the unbanked are positive outcomes of
branchless banking and hence strengthens the above premise. Option c is therefore the right choice.
Q.133) Option (A).

Option a is the right choice as it brings out the other governing factors for financial inclusion. Option b is contrary
to the premise and hence not the right choice.
1
Q.134) Option (C).
To enable machine learning and artificial intelligence, digitisation and mobile banking are necessary and hence
08
provide support to the premise.
Q.135) Option (C).

both a and b provide for suitable titles hence c is the right choice.
Q.136) Option (A).

00
Option a is the right choice it states the positive act undertaken by students in the United States. Option b is
contrary to the premise, hence in correct.
16
Q.137) Option (D).
Q.138) Option (A).

Option a is the right choice as it brings out the problem that a democratic nation is facing. Option b is contrary to
the principles of democracy and hence incorrect.
1
Q.139) Option (C).

18
Q.140) Option (D).

A failure of political activity and action being taken by students can be contrasted by both options a and b as both
suggest reasons why students cannot be active in politics. State being the ultimate power and students’ inability to
act as per free will, weakens the premise. Hence d is the right choice.
Q.141) Option (A).

Statement (a) weakens the above premise as it shows that there is no evolution whereas the premise talks about
evolution in the AI industry.
Q.142) Option (B).

Option b supports the above premise and shows the evolution and innovation and hence is the right choice.
Q.143) Option (C).

Both options a and b can be apt title for the above premise. Option a is a general title stating that the AI machine
learning. Option b is more specific but apt for the premise and hence both choices follow.
Q.144) Option (A).

Option a is the right choice. The premise states that the Chatbots are able to converse and learn from humans.
Option a brings out the use of the chatbots and hence best suited follow–up from the above premise. Option b is
contrary and hence the wrong choice. Thus ‘a’ is the right choice.
CP/20/C25
Q.145) Option (A).

Option a is the right choice. Option a shows the increase in sales in the smartphone market compared to PCs,
hence the right choice. Option b is incorrect as it shows that more PCs are being sold compared to Smartphones,
which is contrary to the premise and hence a is the right choice.
Q.146) Option (B).

Option a is baseless. Nothing arises out of the premise that there is any sort of a conundrum or confusion leading
to question of myth and reality. Thus, option is not the right choice. Option b is the right choice as it directly covers
1
the issue in hand.
08
Q.147) Option (A).
Option a is the right choice as it brings out the negative impact of price rise and hence is the right choice. Option b
is not correct as it states a factor which would not be much effected and hence not the right choice. C and d
therefore are not right.
Q.148) Option (A).

00
Option a is the right choice as it shows the impact on the expenditure side. Option b is the wrong choice as it
weakens the statement stating budget to not get impacted by oil prices. Thus, c and d are also wrong and a is the
right answer.
16
Q.149) Option (A).
Option a supports the above premise as it brings out another impact of oil price rise and thus is the right choice.
Option b is incorrect as it states there will be no impact, which is contrary to the premise. Thus, a is the right
choice.
1
Q.150) Option (A).

18
Option a completes the sentence rightly as it provides a solution to the challenge. Option b is not a conclusion but
is a presupposition. It could be the basis on which the sentence is made but it is not the completion point. Hence b
incorrect. Options c and d therefore are not material. Option a is the right answer.
