PART 01: ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LOGICAL REASONING

Directions (Q.1-Q.10): Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
Questions in probability can be tricky, and we benefit from a clear understanding of how to set up the solution
to a problem (even if we can’t solve it!). Here is an example where intuition may need to be helped along a bit:
“Remove all cards except aces and kings from a deck, so that only eight cards remain, of which four are aces
and four are kings. From this abbreviated deck, deal two cards to a friend. If he looks at his card and announces
(truthfully) that his hand contains an ace, what is the probability that both his cards are aces? If he announces
instead that one of his cards is the ace of spades, what is the probability then that both his cards are aces? Are
these two probabilities the same?” Probability theory provides the tools to organize our thinking about how to
set up calculations like this. It does this by separating out the two important ingredients, namely events (which
are collections of possible outcomes) and probabilities (which are numbers assigned to events). This separation

m
into two logically distinct camps is the key which lets us think clearly about such problems. For example, in the

o
first case above, we ask “which outcomes make such an event possible?”. Once this has been done we then figure

c
out how to assign a probability to the event (for this example it is just a ratio of integers, but often it is more
complicated).

rs .
First case: there are 28 possible ‘hands’ that can be dealt (choose 2 cards out of 8). Out of these 28 hands,

k e
exactly 6 contain no aces (choose 2 cards out of 4). Hence 28-6=22 contain at least one ace. Our friend tells us
he has an ace; hence he has been dealt one of these 22 hands. Out of these exactly 6 contain two aces (again
choose 2 out of 4). Therefore, he has a probability of 6/22=3/11 of having two aces.

an
Second case: one of his cards is the ace of spades. There are 7 possibilities for the other card, out of which 3

r
will yield a hand with 2 aces. Thus, the probability is 3/7. Any implicit assumptions?? Yes: we assume all hands
are equally likely.

o p
Sample space the basic setting for a probability model is the random experiment or random trial.
This is your mental model of what is going on. In our previous example this would be the dealer passing over
two cards to your friend.

T
Definition 1 The sample space S is the set of all possible outcomes of the random experiment.
Depending on the random experiment, S may be finite, countably infinite or uncountably infinite. For a random
coin toss, S = {H, T}, so |S| = 2. For our card example, |S| = 28, and consists of all possible unordered pairs of
cards, e.g. (Ace of Hearts, King of Spades) etc. But note that you have some choice here: you could decide to
include the order in which two cards are dealt. Your sample space would then be twice as large, and would
include both (Ace of Hearts, King of Spades) and (King of Spades, Ace of Hearts). Both of these are valid sample
spaces for the experiment. So you get the first hint that there is some artistry in probability theory! namely how

to choose the ‘best’ sample space.

The Power of Inductive Reasoning
The fictional private detective character Sherlock Holmes walks into a dirty, dingy room that is sealed off with
yellow police tape. Inside, a woman is lying dead on the floor. Other British police detectives who had examined
the body before Sherlock Holmes arrived concluded the woman committed suicide based on their deductive
0O7T
tr-5N4R9T0Q0L
reasoning. Holmes thinks otherwise. Sherlock Holmes never uses deductive reasoning to assist him in solving a
crime. Instead, he uses inductive reasoning.

So what is the difference? Deductive reasoning starts with a hypothesis that examines facts and then reaches a
logical conclusion. In math terms, think of it this way: A=B, B=C, therefore A=C. For deductive reasoning to
work, the hypothesis must be correct. Inductive reasoning starts with observations that produce generalizations
and theories.
Here is the breakdown:
Deduction: Theory to Hypothesis to Observation to Confirmation
Induction: Observation to Pattern to Hypothesis to Theory 9T0Q0L0O7T tr-5N4R

In 5B
this case, 0E
Sherlock
7F Holmes used inductive reasoning. He observed the scene, noticed certain jewellery on the
tr- 4G9J0B0G
woman’s body had been recently cleaned, except for her wedding ring. That forced him to ask the question,
Why? Why would she clean everything except her wedding ring? Holmes induced that the woman did not

Head Office: 127, Zone II, MP Nagar, Bhopal |+91-7676564400| https://www.toprankers.com Page 3 of 28
commit suicide. In part, because she was traveling to London for one day, she packed an overnight bag—and
had a secret meeting before returning home. The secret meeting and wedding ring, all allowed Holmes to
continue to probe the none obvious, asking questions along the way but never forming a final opinion. Sherlock
Holmes behaves like an annoying child who continually asks, Why. The “whys” stack upon one another, and
before too long, they allow Holmes to form a pattern to reach a hypothesis and then a final theory.

THE WAPSHAW’S WHARF MYSTERY.


There was a great commotion in Lower Thames Street on the morning of January 12, 1887. When the early
members of the staff arrived at Wapshaw’s Wharf they found that the safe had been broken open, a considerable
sum of money removed, and the offices left in great disorder. The night watchman was nowhere to be found, but
nobody who had been acquainted with him for one moment suspected him to be guilty of the robbery. In this
belief the proprietors were confirmed when, later in the day, they were informed that the poor fellow’s body had
been picked up by the River Police. Certain marks of violence pointed to the fact that he had been brutally

m
attacked and thrown into the river. A watch found in his pocket had stopped, and this was a valuable clue to the

o
time of the outrage. But a very stupid officer had actually amused himself by turning the hands round and round,

c
trying to set the watch going again. After he had been severely reprimanded for this serious indiscretion, he was

rs .
asked whether he could remember the time that was indicated by the watch when found. He replied that he could
not, but he recollected that the hour hand and minute hand were exactly together, one above the other, and the
second hand had just passed the forty-ninth second. More than this he could not remember. What was the exact

Directions (Q.24-Q.36): Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
The Basics of ECG
The information contained within a single 12-lead electrocardiogram can be extensive. Learning how to interpret
the subtle differences in characteristic changes that can arise is a specialized skill that can take years to learn.
Fortunately, basic ECG interpretation can be rather straightforward, as long as you know the basics.
An electrocardiogram is a tracing of the electrical activity that is taking place within the heart. Under normal
circumstances, an electrical impulse will travel from the sinoatrial node, spread across the atrium, to the
atrioventricular node and through the ventricular septum of the heart. This electrical impulse causes the four
chambers of the heart to contract and relax in a coordinated fashion. Studying these electrical impulses allows
us to understand how the heart is functioning.

P Wave
The P wave represents the depolarization of the left and right atrium and also corresponds to atrial contraction.

m
Strictly speaking, the atria contract a split second after the P wave begins. Because it is so small, atrial

o
repolarization is usually not visible on ECG. In most cases, the P wave will be smooth and rounded, no more

c
than 2.5 mm tall, and no more than 0.11 seconds in duration. It will be positive in leads I, II, aVF and V1 through
V6.

QRS Complex

rs .
k e
As the name suggests, the QRS complex includes the Q wave, R wave, and S wave. These three waves occur in
rapid succession. The QRS complex represents the electrical impulse as it spreads through the ventricles and
indicates ventricular depolarization. As with the P wave, the QRS complex starts just before ventricular
contraction.

an
It is important to recognize that not every QRS complex will contain Q, R, and S waves. The convention is that

r
the Q wave is always negative and that the R wave is the first positive wave of the complex. If the QRS complex

after an R wave.

o p
only includes an upward (positive) deflection, then it is an R wave. The S wave is the first negative deflection

Under normal circumstances, the duration of the QRS complex in an adult patient will be between 0.06 and 0.10

T
seconds. The QRS complex is usually positive in leads I, aVL, V5, V6 and II, III, and aVF. The QRS complex
is usually negative in leads aVR, V1, and V2.
The J-point is the point where the QRS complex and the ST segment meet. It can also be thought of as the start
of the ST segment. The J-point (also known as Junction) is important because it can be used to diagnose an ST
segment elevation myocardial infarction. When the J-point is elevated at least 2 mm above baseline, it is
consistent with a STEMI.

T Wave
A T wave follows the QRS complex and indicates ventricular repolarization. Unlike a P wave, a normal T wave
0O7T
tr-5N4R9T0Q0L
is slightly asymmetric; the peak of the wave is a little closer to its end than to its beginning. T waves are normally
positive in leads I, II, and V2 through V6 and negative in aVR. A T wave will normally follow the same direction
as the QRS complex that preceded it (positive or negative/up or down). When a T wave occurs in the opposite
direction of the QRS complex, it generally reflects some sort of cardiac pathology.
If a small wave occurs between the T wave and the P wave, it could be a U wave. The biological basis for a U
wave is unknown.

Heart Rate
There are many ways to determine a patient’s heart rate using ECG. One of the quickest ways is called the
sequence method. To use the sequence method, find an R wave that 9T lines up with one of the dark vertical lines
0O7T
5N4R 0Q0L
on the ECG paper. If the next R wave appears on the next darktr-vertical line, it corresponds to heart rate of 300
beats a minute.
0E7F The dark vertical lines correspond to 300, 150, 100, 75, 60, and 50 bpm. For example, if there
tr-5B4G9J0B0G
are three large boxes between R waves, the patient’s heart rate is 100 bpm. There are more accurate ways to
determine heart rate from ECG, but in life-saving scenarios, this method provides a quick estimate.

c o m
rs .
British and American spies used secret codes and ciphers to disguise their communications. A cipher is when
letters, symbols, or numbers are used in the place of real words. In order to decode a cipher, the recipient of the
letter must have a key to know what the coded letters, symbols, or words really mean.

k e
Ciphers and secret codes were used to ensure that the contents of a letter could not be understood if
correspondence was captured. In ciphers, letters were used to represent and replace other letters to mask the true

message of the missive. The letter’s recipient utilized a key--which referenced corresponding pages and letters

from a well-known book, such as Entick's Dictionary--to decode the document’s true message. Some spy groups

even created their own pocket guide to serve as a cipher’s key. Similarly, some letters were written in intricate

The essence of espionage is communication. Spies gather information, or intelligence, pass it to the right people,
and others analyze and communicate the intelligence. A small mistake in how a message is enciphered or the
interpretation of a message can have disastrous results. Successful intelligence officers often have a strong
command of multiple languages, are able to express themselves both clearly and covertly, and understand the
subtext of self expression. Perhaps that is why many have become great novelists! Until fairly recently, the only
way the public learned about the hidden world of espionage was through novels—because real events were

Conditional Syllogism

a major premise, a minor premise and a conclusion.


Major premise

k e
The basic form of the conditional syllogism is: If A is true then B is also true. (If A then B). It appears through

The major premise (the first statement) for example:


Ladies prefer Xanthos.

r an
This statement is not challenged and is assumed to be true.

o p
The 'A', the 'if' part of the statement ('adding sugar to coffee' in the example) is also called the antecedent. The
'B', the 'then' part of the statement ('tastes better') is also called the consequent.
Minor premise

T
A minor premise, which may not be spoken, gives further detail about the major premise. For example:
Xanthos smells great.
The minor premise is also assumed to be true. In adverts, it often appears as the secondary line to the main
strapline of the major premise.
Conclusion
The conclusion is a third statement, based on a combination of the major and minor premise.
If you use Xanthos cologne, you will attract women.
In adverts, this may well not be mentioned, but it is most clearly what you are intended to conclude.
Example- Here is the bones of many the proposition of many therapists:
0O7T
tr-5N4R9T0Q0L
You are sad.
I am qualified to help people who are sad.
I can make you happy.
Thus, when the therapist says 'You are sad', the patient gets the idea that the therapist can make them happy. The
qualifications of the therapist may be framed on the wall or on the brass plate outside. This principle is also used
by many professions, which is why it is ok for hairdresser to criticize your hair (in fact it provides a contrast with
what your hair will soon look like).
Discussion
Conditional syllogisms are seldom completed with all three sentences -- often only the major and minor premises
are needed and sometimes only the major premise is enough. 0O7T
5N4R9T0Q0L
The conclusion of the conditional syllogism is often unspokentr-and it is intended that the listener infers it for
themselves.

Advertisers love conditional syllogisms because this gives them a way around laws that prevent advertisements
from telling direct lies. Lies such as 'use cologne, attract women' are also a bit obvious, and people who will
believe the syllogism would not necessarily believe the direct lie of the conclusion.

Directions (Q.61-Q.72): Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
It’s a well-known fact that colours have inherent meanings and can provoke emotions. These meanings will
have a direct impact on the way your users perceive your product.
“Colour creates, enhances, changes, reveals and establishes the mood of the painting.” — Kiff Holland
When you’re choosing a colour palette for your app/site, you can’t just be thinking about how things look —
you have to think about how they feel too. The colours you choose can either work for or against the brand
identity you’re trying to create. To get you started, I’ve compiled a quick reference guide that covers the basic
associations with each colour (in the western world).

Red, Orange, Yellow


Red (Passionate, Powerful, Dangerous, Important): Red is an extremely stimulating colour. It gives the
impression of speed and power. It’s known as the colour of energy. It has proven physiological effects of
increasing blood circulation and raising metabolism. That’s why when people see red, they read stronger and

Orange (Playful, Energetic, Attractive, Cheap):

c o m
faster. Using red is a way to grab users’ attention or highlight an individual element that requires attention.

your users. Some researchers find that orange denotes cheapness.

rs .
Orange is a warm and vibrant colour. It has an energetic aura and is able to create a warm welcoming feeling for

Yellow (Cheerful, Friendly, Simulative, Attention-seeking):

k e
Yellow is an extremely versatile colour depending on the which shade you choose. Light yellow is associated
with the sun and hence communicates positivity and warmth. Dark shades of yellow (like gold) give the

Green, Blue, Purple

r an
impression of antiquity and age. These darker shades are often related to the timelessness and wisdom.

p
Green (Natural, Safe, Fresh): Green reflects a sense of environmentalism and closeness to nature. It also signifies
growth, and that’s why it’s often associated with business. Green signifies a sense of right or wrong.

o
T
Blue (Calming, Responsible, Trustworthy, Reliable):
The colour blue is often associated with calm and relaxing emotions. It’s also associated with strength and
reliability, giving a sense of trust and professionalism. Blue emits feelings of inner security. That’s why you may
see banks and technology businesses using the colour. Social media giants such as Facebook, Twitter, and
LinkedIn all utilize the colour blue on their networks.

Purple (Luxurious, Mysterious, Romantic, Spirituality):


Historically linked to royalty, purple insinuates that a product is high-end.

Directions (Q.85-Q.95): Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
Theories of truth

T
Theories of truth attempt to give satisfactory answers to the following questions: “What is truth?” and “How to
know the truth?” We want to know whether propositions or beliefs are true or false. To deal with propositional
truth we can take either the definitional route and define “is true” as qualifying the proposition, or the criterial
route and justify the application of “is true” to the proposition.

What is the nature of truth?


This is similar to the question, what is the underlying nature of the property of being gold or the substantive facts
about gold? Or, what does the word “gold” mean in ordinary English? The result of the inquiry is that gold is an
element with atomic number 79. My concept 7T of gold picks out many important and substantive facts about gold,
4R9T0Q0L0O
that it is a malleable yellowtr-5N
metal, for instance. When philosophers ask what truth is, they are interested
sometimes in the concept, sometimes in the underlying nature of its property, and sometimes in both. Unlike the
case of gold, we have no independent, empirical access to the property of truth except via that concept. Thus,
disputes over the property of truth are frequently fought on conceptual ground, over how we might best define
the concept of truth.

According to this latter method, we learn about the property of truth by learning about the concept. On the other
hand, we might hold that as in the case of gold, learning about the concept can tell us much about the property
without necessarily telling us everything about that property. We may know something about the nature of truth
and may be able to define truth, but it is not of much value if we are not able0Oto
7Tprove that something is true. The
tr-5N4R9T0Q0L
nature and criteria of truth are obviously different.

Directions (Q.96-108): CATEGORIES OF ZODIAC SIGNS IN ASTROLOGY


FIRE SIGNS 0O7T
tr-5N4R9T0Q0L
(Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) are warm, enthusiastic and outgoing. They need a lot of fuel and therefore are constantly
on the search for something new to "feed" them. Other signs must often create boundaries in order to prevent the
fire signs from absorbing all the resources and space in the vicinity. One cannot really find fault with this, as the
fire signs are usually quite unaware of the effects of their massive energy. When they reach a clearly defined
edge drawn by another sign, they rarely take offense, and readily move in another direction. The fire signs are
very intuitive and rely heavily on an element of luck which seems to be always with them. Fires often attract
Earths to stabilize and centre them.

WATER SIGNS
(Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) are fluidly feeling and the range of their9Tdispositions
0O7T moves readily from ice storm
5N4R 0Q0L
to placid river to hot steam. Waters love the comforts of hometr-and family and generally are strongly nurturing
of 5B
anything that
0E7F lives. They have compassionate instincts and are drawn to care for whomever or whatever seems
tr- 4G9J0B0G
weakened, defective or on the losing side. Waters are adept in the world of feeling and rarely are unduly

Head Office: 127, Zone II, MP Nagar, Bhopal |+91-7676564400| https://www.toprankers.com Page 19 of 28
frightened by any emotion they encounter. Airs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) and Waters are often mutually
attracted.
Airs need support when encountering deep feelings and past memories--they are prone to minimize the value of
their emotional experiences. Waters, on the other hand, need help in the realm of logic and reason, so they draw
heavily from the more verbal Airs.

EARTH SIGNS
(Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) are usually solid and dependable, just as the ground beneath us. They are gifted
at manifestation in the concrete world and take pleasure in finding useful purposes for everything. Earth signs
are natural recyclers--they deplore wasted resources of any kind. The disadvantage of Earth signs is that too
often attention is focused on material production. They can become caught in repetitive ruts, forgetting to use
their imagination. Earths frequently attract fire signs into their lives to provide an element of excitement and
change. But then, of course, the Earths must deal with anxiety over what the more unpredictable fires might do
next. The dance of life continues.

AIR SIGNS

c o m
rs .
(Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) move constantly, like the wind. Even if the body appears to be still, the mind of
an Air Sign is racing from one thing to another. They are generally talkative and tend to be winners in games of
Trivial Pursuit. The Airs are gregarious and work to develop their social skills early in life. It is, however, difficult

k e
for them to make commitments because they know there are so many possibilities they haven't yet explored.
Though Airs have lightening quick mental ability, they struggle in the world of emotions. Ask an Air sign how
he feels about an issue and he will speedily rattle off what he thinks. Airs need help in this area and therefore are

r an
prone to attract Water Signs who more naturally breathe in emotional pools.

Directions (Q.109-Q.120): Read the informative and educational article on ‘Fuel Efficiency’ to answer the
questions that follow.
Techniques for Drivers to Conserve Fuel
Drivers can conserve fuel by learning how different driving behaviours affect fuel economy and by adopting
techniques to save fuel and money. The amount of fuel your vehicle consumes depends heavily on how you
drive. See the information below and FuelEconomy.gov for information about driving efficiently.
0O7T
tr-5N4R9T0Q0L
Slow Down and Drive Conservatively
Speeding increases
0E7F fuel consumption and decreases fuel economy as a result of tire rolling resistance and air
tr-5B4G9J0B0G
resistance. While vehicles reach optimal fuel economy at different speeds, gas mileage usually decreases rapidly
at speeds above 50 miles per hour (mph). For light-duty vehicles, for example, every 5 mph you drive over 50

Head Office: 127, Zone II, MP Nagar, Bhopal |+91-7676564400| https://www.toprankers.com Page 21 of 28
mph is like paying $0.30 more per gallon of gas (based on the price of gas at $4.32 per gallon). Reducing your
speed by 5 to 10 mph can improve fuel economy by 7%–14%.
Using cruise control on the highway can help drivers maintain a constant speed; vehicles use the most energy
when accelerating. Obeying the speed limit, accelerating and braking gently and gradually, and reading the road
ahead can improve the fuel economy of your vehicle by 15%–30% at highway speeds and 10%–40% in stop-
and-go traffic. Driving more sensibly is also much safer for you and others.

Combine Trips
Combining trips can save you time and money by avoiding unnecessary stopping and starting of your vehicle,
which can be an issue in colder climates where it takes longer for your engine to reach its most fuel-efficient
temperature. Shorter trips can use twice as much fuel as one long, multi-purpose trip that covers the same
distance, when the engine is warm and at its most fuel-efficient temperature. Engine and transmission friction
increases with cold engine oil and other drive-line fluids, making the engine less efficient. Trip planning can
reduce the distance you travel and the amount of time you drive with a cold engine.

Reduce Vehicle Load

c o m
rs .
The additional weight of items left in a vehicle requires more fuel to propel your vehicle. An extra 100 pounds
in your trunk, for example, could reduce your fuel economy by about 1%. Hauling rooftop cargo also increases
drag, which can reduce fuel economy from 2%–8% in city driving, 6%–17% on the highway, and 10%–25% at

109. What does the term "rolling resistance" refer to in the context of fuel economy?

k e
65–75 mph. Offload any unnecessary items to reduce the fuel consumption of your vehicle.

(a) Resistance caused by driving on uneven roads.

a
(b) Resistance caused by air pushing against the vehicle.

r n
(c) Resistance caused by tires rolling on the road surface.
(d) Resistance caused by engine friction.

(b) "The speed limit should be followed for safety."
(c) "The fuel economy is affected by excessive braking."
(d) "Driving more sensibly improves fuel efficiency."
