A 1 and 2

Downloaded from cracku.in


B 2 and 3

C 3 and 4

D 4 and 5
Answer: C

Explanation:
Since the square root of a number is between 6 and 7.
So, number itself will lie between 6 2 = 36 and 72 = 49
Cube root of 36 = 3.3 (Approx)
Cube root of 49= 3.66 (Approx)
Hence, the cube root of the number will be between 3 and 4.

40. Of the following four numbers, the largest is

A 3210

B 7140

C 17105

D 3184
Answer: C

Explanation:
3210 = (32 )105 = 9105 < 17105 => 3210 < 17105
7140 = (74 )35 = 240135
17105 = (173 )35 = 491335 => 7140 < 17105
17105 = (175 )21 = 1419857​21
3184 = (314 )21 = 92352121 => 3184 < 17105
Hence, largest of the number = 17105

Downloaded from cracku.in


D 4
Answer: C

Explanation:
x% of y is 1% of z
x 1
100 ∗y= 100 ∗z
xy = z ....... (1)
y% of z is 1% of x
y 1
100 ∗z = 100 ∗x
yz = x ....... (2)
z% of x is 1% of y

A 896

B 969

C 1064

D 1120
Answer: C

Explanation:
Let first term a1 = a and common difference = d
a2 = a + d; a3 = a + 2d
Now,

a1 + a8 + a12 + a19 = 224


a + a + 7d + a + 11d + a + 18d = 224
4a + 36d = 224
a + 9d = 56 ....... (1)

= a1 + a2 + a3 + ........ + a19
= a + a + d + a + 2d + .......... + a + 18d
= 19a + 171d
= 19(a + 9d)

Answer: A

Explanation:
a + b < c + d ..... (1)
b + c < d + e ...... (2)
c + d < e + a ....... (3)
d + e < a + b ....... (4)
From (1) and (4):
d + e < a + b < c + d => e < c
From (1) and (3):
a + b < c + d < e + a => b < e
From (2) and (4):
b + c < d + e < a + b => c < a
Now,
b<e<c<a
Let b = 1, e = 2, c = 3 and a = 4
From (1) and (3):
a + b < c + d => 4 + 1 < 3 + d => d > 2 => d > e
c + d < e + a => 3 + d < 2 + 4 => d < 3 => d < c
Hence,
b<e<d<c<a

A x+y

B 3xy
x2 +y2
C x+y

x4 +x2 y2 +y4
D x3 +y3

Answer: A

Explanation:
Since 'x' and 'y' are positive integers. Let x = y = 1
x+y=1+1=2
3xy = 3∗1∗1= 3 = 1.732
x2 +y2 12 +12
x+y = 1+ 1 =1
x4 + x2 y2 +y4 14 +12 ∗ 12 +14
x3 +y3 = 13 +13 = 1.5
Hence, x + y is largest.

67. On a river, B is between A and C and is equidistant from A and C. A boat goes from A to B and bank
in 5 hours 15 minutes and from A to C in 7 hours. How less will it take to go from C to A, if water
flows from A to C.

A 3 hours
1
B 3 2 hours

C 4 hours
1
D 4 2 hours
Answer: B

Explanation:
River is flowing from A to C, that means A to C is downstream and C to A is upstream.
Since, Time taken to go from A to C in downstream = 7 hours
7
Time taken to go from A to B in downstream = 2 = 3.5hours
15
Since, time taken to go from A to B and come back to the same point = 5 hours 15 minutes = 5+ 60 =
5.25hours
Now, time taken to go from B to A = 5.25 - 3.5 = 1.75 hours
1
Hence, time taken to go from C to A = 1.75 * 2 = 3.5 hours = 3 2 hours

Each of the questions given below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II. You have
to decide whether data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the questions.
86. Who among P, Q and R is the shortest ?
I. R is taller than P
II. Q is taller than P.

if the data either in statement I or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the
A
question.

if the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in
B
statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

if the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the
C
question.

D if the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Answer: D

Explanation:
Statement 1: R is taller than P. This statement alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Statement 2: Q is taller than P. This statement alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Combining the statements, we get both Q and R to be taller than P. Hence, P is the shortest.
So, the correct choice is Option (D).
87. A’s and B’s Salaries are in the proportion of 4 : 3 respectively. What is A’s salary ?

Downloaded from cracku.in


if the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the
C question.

D if the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Answer: B

Explanation:
Suppose A's salary is 4x and B's salary is 3x.
Statement 1: B's salary is 75% of that of A's salary. This statement is the same as the original statement
since 75% equals 3/4. So, we dont get any valuable iformation from this statement.
Statement 2: B's salary is 4500 Rs.
Combining with original statement, 3x = 4500
Therefore, x = 1500
And 4x = 6000.
Hence, we get A's salary as Rs 6000.
So, the second statement is sufficient to get A's salary. Hence Option (B).
88. How many books are on the table ?
I. The total weight of the books on the table is 130kg.
II. The weight of the table is also 130 kg.

if the data either in statement I or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the
A
question.

if the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in
B
statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

if the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the
C
question.

D if the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Answer: C

Explanation:
Statement 1: Total weight of the books on the table is 130 kg.
This does not tell us anything on the number of books.
Statement 2: Total weight of table is 130 kg.
Again, this statement does not tell us anything on the number of books.
Combining the 2 statements, also does not give us any information on the number of books.
Hence, Option C.

89. In a code ‘lee pee tin’ means ‘Always Keep Smiling’. What is the code for ‘Smiling’?
I. 'tin lut lee' means 'Always Keep left'.
II. 'dee pee' means 'Rose Smiling'.

if the data either in statement I or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the
A
question.

if the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in
B
statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

if the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the
C
question.

D if the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Answer: A

Explanation:
lee pee tin - Always Keep Smiling.
Statement 1: tin lut lee - Always Keep left
Combing the code with the given statement, tin and lee stand for Always and keep, hence, pee should stand
for Smiling. Thus, this statement alone is sufficient to get the code for Smiling.
Statement 2: dee pee - Rose smiling
Combining the code with the given statement, dee stands for Rose and pee stands for smiling. Thus, this
statement also alone is sufficient to get the code for Smiling.
Hence Option (A).
90. What is X’s present age in years ?
I. X was born in September.
II. Y was 22 years old during September, 1993.

if the data either in statement I or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the
A
question.

if the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in
B
statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

if the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the
C
question.

D if the data in both statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
Answer: B

Explanation:
If we know that X is 22 years old during September, 1993, we can calculate his present age by adding up
the number of years from 1993 to present. Hence statement 2 is sufficient to get X's present age.
Statement 1 mentions the month but not the year, so that statement a;on is not sufficient to give us X's
age.

Instructions [91 - 95 ]
In the questions given below, a statement is followed by if implications I and II An implication is an
underlying hint or suggestion that is taken for granted. Give your answer as:
91. Statement:
A further confirnation by the Finance Minister that the prices of essential items would not be raised
was welcome feature for the public.
implications :
I. He proposes to raise prices of luxury items.
II. Some people had doubted the Finance Minister's announcement regarding the stability of prices
of essential items.

A if only I is implicit:

B if only II is implicit:

C if neither I nor II is implicit:

D if both I and II are implicit.


Answer: C

Explanation:
The statement says: A further confirmation by the Finance Minister that the prices of essential items would
not be raised was welcome feature for the public.
Implication 1: He proposes to raise prices of luxury items. The statement says that the prices of essential
items would not be raised, but it does not mention anything about the price of the luxury items. Hence it is
not an implicit implication.
Implication 2: Some people had doubted the Finance Minister's announcement regarding the stability of
prices of essential items. The statement does not say anything about the people's reaction to the Finance
Minister's announcement on the stability of price of essential items. So, we are not sure if they doubted the
announcement. Hence this is also not an implicit implication.
Hence, option (C).

92. Statement :
Prayers are sometimes answered when there is no chance or hope.

I. Some times, we do get helped miraculously.
II. God shows favour only when we are in absolute despair:

A if only I is implicit:

B if only II is implicit:

C if neither I nor II is implicit:

Downloaded from cracku.in


D if both I and II are implicit.
Answer: A

Explanation:
The statement says: Prayers are sometimes answered when there is no chance or hope.
Implication 1:Some times, we do get helped miraculously. This is an implicit implication because, it is a
direct implication of the statement that the prayers are answered miraculously when there is no chance or
hope.
Implication 2:God shows favour only when we are in absolute despair. This is not an implicit implication
because the statement describes the scenario when there is no chance or hope, but it never says that
prayers are not answered otherwise. Prayers may be answered even when we are not in absolute despair
or hopeless.
Hence, option (A).
93. Statement :
Virtually all bosses are problem bosses in one way or the other.
Implications:
I. No employee other than boss creates problems.
II. Boss and employees never have coordination.

A if only I is implicit:

B if only II is implicit:

C if neither I nor II is implicit:

D if both I and II are implicit.


Answer: C

Explanation:
The statement says: Virtually all bosses are problem bosses in one way or the other.
Implication 1: No employee other than boss creates problems. This statement says only about bosses. It
does not mention anything about employees other than bosses. So, this is not an implicit implication.
Implication 2: Boss and employees never have coordination. This statement is not related to the given
statement in any way. So, this is also not an implicit implication.
Hence, option(C).
94. Statement :
First defeat often becomes a key to victory for some players.
Implications:
I. After first defeat they come to know where they stand and what they have to achieve.
II. After first defeat, every player is bound to win.

A if only I is implicit:

B if only II is implicit:

Downloaded from cracku.in


C if neither I nor II is implicit:

D if both I and II are implicit.


Answer: A

Explanation:
The statement says: First defeat often becomes a key to victory for some players.
Implication 1: After first defeat they come to know where they stand and what they have to achieve. This
gives us a reason why defeat helps some players to be victorious for the future. So, this is an implicit
implication.
Implication 2: After first defeat, every player is bound to win. This statement does not provide any reason
as to why defeat becomes a key to victory for some players. So this is not an implicit implication.
Hence, Option (A).

95. Statement :
Road and other areas around hospitals are marked as silence zone.
Implications:
I. Hospitals do not have sound-proof doors.
II. Noisy vehicles disturb patients.

A if only I is implicit:

B if only II is implicit:

C if neither I nor II is implicit:

D if both I and II are implicit.


Answer: D

Explanation:
The statement says: Road and other areas around hospitals are marked as silence zone.
Implication 1: Hospitals do not have sound-proof doors. If hospitals did have sound-proof doors, the areas
did not need to be marked as silence zone. So this implication is implicit.
Implication 2: Noisy vehicles disturb patients. Again, if noisy vehicles did not disturb patients, they don't
need to be marked as silence zones. So this implication is implicit as well.
Hence, Option (D).

Consider the statement given in the question, I am talking about your Delhi Patna Agra.
Assigning index to each word in their order in the statement:
I-1
am - 2
talking - 3
about - 4

Delhi - 6
Patna - 7
Agra - 8
The second statement is About am I talking Delhi Agra Patna you. Writing in the form of indices of the
words in the original statement, it becomes 42136875.
Step 8 arrangement gives us the same.
For getting step 8: We impose step 4 transformation on the step-4 transformed word 62581473.
Let's suppose the Step-4 transformed word is A, an the Step-8 transformed word is B.
Therefore applying Step-4 transformation on A will give us B.
A = 62581473
B = 62581473 transformation on A = [6 index of A][2 INDEX OF A][5 index of A][8 index OF A][1 index of A][4

M = W -> M ≤ W
B + A -> B = A
M + A -> M = A
G - W -> G >W
Hence, A = B = M ≤ W < G
Conclusions:
1. B+M -> B=M -> True
2. M-B -> M >B -> False
Hence, Option A

least intelligent.
From hint (3), we get G is a female and the most intelligent. Therefore, G"(1).
Using hint (4) and (7), we get that B is the father of E, and F is the grandfather of E, and E is male. Also, e
get E as the least intelligent and F as the second most intelligent. So, we can map them as

Using hint (10), we get that D is another son of F. Adding it to our mapping, wet get,

Using hint (2) which says there are 2 married couple, and hint (11) that says there are no widow or
widower, we get to know the married couples are F and his wife and B and his wife.
Using hint (5), we get that C has one son and one daughter, so C can not be F's wife, because he has 2
sons, so, C is the wife of B. Also, B and C have a daughter. Mapping into the existing solution, we get:

Now, we have 2 people remaining, both are females. One of them is the daughter of B and C, and the other
one is the wife of F. Using hint (9) that none of he married topped the IQ test, and using hint (3) that G is the
topper of the IQ Test, we get G as the daughter of B and C, and the remaining person A is the wife of F.
Mapping into the figure, we get,

From hint (10), D is more intelligent than B, but less intelligent than C. Also, using (8), B is more intelligent
than A. Using hint (5), C is more intelligent than B.
We know that G is ranked 1, F is ranked 2, E is ranked 7. Using the remaining ranks and applying them to
the deduction from the previous line, we get, C as 3, D as 4, B as 5 and A as 6. Hence the figure comes out

as:

So, this is our final figure, depicting all relationships and the intelligence test ranks.
Hence, B is married to C.
Option (C).

the alternatives below it. Choose the correct alternative.
113. a b c a - b c a a b - c a - b b c - a

A abba

B abac

C bbaa

D ccaa
Answer: B

Explanation:
Starting the sequence with abc. For the next set of terms, we use the original set (i.e abc) after incluing an
additional a.
So, the next set of terms becomes aabc.
Similarly for the next set of terms, we add b to the previous term in the right place. Hence it becomes
aabbc.
In a similar way, the next set of terms become aabbcc.
So, the final sequence comes out as abcaabcaabbcaabbcca.

D
Answer: D

Explanation:
We start the series with a,b,c,d as the first 4 terms.
The next 4 terms can be derived from the first 4 in the following way.
1. Place the last term(i.e d) as the first term of the new series.
2. The next terms of the new series are the next terms of the original series in a circular
fashion (a,b,c,d,a,b,c,d....etc)
So the second set of terms is d,a,b,c.
In a similar way, the subsequent terms should be c,d,a,b and b,c,d,a.
The final series is a,b,c,d,d,a,b,c,c,d,a,b,b,c,d,a.
115. - b c - - b b - a a b c

A acac

B babc

C abab

D aacc
Answer: A

Explanation:
We start the series with a,b,c as the first 3 terms.
For the next 3 terms, we start with the last term i.e ' c' of the previous series(a,b,c in his case), and continue
with the next 2 terms in circular fashion (a,b,c,a,b,c). So the second set of 3 terms comes out as c,a,b.
Continuing in a similar way, the next 3 terms are b,c,a, and the subsequent terms are a,b,c.
Hence, the final series turns out as a,b,c,c,a,b,b,c,a,a,b,c.
