Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives. Doing an
internship at the University of Lille in France, I almost always found myself stuck whenever I had to speak to
non-Indians about India or on anything 'Indian'. This was more because of the subtle differences in the way
the French understood India in comparison to what I thought was 'Indian'. For instance, when I, or any Indian
for that matter, say 'Hindi' is an Indian language, what it means is that it is one of the languages widely spoken
in India. This need not be similar to the understanding that the French would have when they hear of 'Hindi'
as an Indian language. Because for them Hindi then becomes the only language spoken in India. This is a
natural inference that the French, Germans, Italians and many other European nationals would tend to make,
because that is generally how it is in their own respective countries. The risk of such inappropriate
generalisations made about 'Indian' is not restricted to language alone but also for India's landscape, cuisine,
movies, music, climate, economic development and even political ideologies. The magnitude of diversity of
one European country can be easily compared to that of one of the Indian State, isn't it? Can they imagine
that India is one country whose diversity can be equated to that of the entire European continent? The onus is
upon us to go ahead and clarify the nuances in 'Indianness' while we converse. But why should one do so?
How does it even matter to clarify?
22. Why do some French people think that Hindi is the only Indian language?
A. Because that is the way in most European countries
B. That is what is being taught to them
C. They know India is also called as Hindustan so people there must speak only Hindi
D. As most Indians they meet speak Hindi
Ans - A
23. The writer was working at a university in which country?
A. France
B. Germany
C. Italy
D. India
Ans - A
24. What wrong with respect to India are the Europeans responsible for?
A. Their hatred towards Indian culture
B. Their complete lack of knowledge regarding India's past
C. That India is economically decades behind the developed world
D. Their inappropriate generalizations
Ans - D
25. The writer compares diversity of one European country to the diversity of ____________.
A. One major city in India
B. One Indian State
C. The whole continent of Asia
D. The whole world
Ans - B

51. What is the sum of two consecutive even numbers, the difference of whose square is 84?
A. 38
B. 34
C. 42
D. 46
Option C
Let us assume that two consecutive even numbers are P and P + 2.
According to given question,
(P + 2)2 – P2 = 84
⇒ P2 + 4P + 4 – P2 = 84
⇒ 4P = 84 – 4 = 80
⇒ P = 80/4 = 20
⇒ P + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22
∴ The required sum = 20 + 22 = 42

y= 8000/16 =Rs 500
58. The perimeter of rectangle is 72m and ratio between the length and breadth is 11 : 7. What is the
difference between the half of the length and one-seventh of the breadth of rectangle ?
A. 9m
B. 6m
C. 12m
D. 15m
Option A
Let length and breadth of rectangle 11x and 7x respectively.
perimeter = 72m
2(11x + 7x) = 72
x=2
length = 11 * 2 = 22
breadth = 7 * 2 = 14
difference = 22/2 – 14 * 1/7 = 11 – 2 = 9m
59. Two persons goes from A to B at 12kmph and 8kmph. The faster one reach B first and come back. He

A. 10 days
B. 8 days
C. 20 days
D. 18 days
Option A
LCM of 30 and 20 = 60
total work = 60
efficiency of P = 60/30 = 2
efficiency of Q = 60/20 = 3
P completed work in 15 days = 15 * 2 = 30
time taken by Q to complete remaining work = 60 – 30 /3 = 10 days
62. A boat running downstream covers a distance of 36 km in 4 hrs and for covering the same distance
upstream it takes 9 hrs. What is the speed of the stream?

66. A boy bought 2 items for Rs.7500. One item he sells at a profit of 16% and other item at 14% loss. In this
the boy makes neither any profit nor any loss. What is the difference between SP of 2 items.
A. 620
B. 620
C. 630
D. 625
Option B

67. In a mixture of wine and water is in the ratio of 5 : 3. If 16 liters of mixtures taken out and replaced with
water, so that the ratio of wine and water becomes 3 : 5. Find the initial quantity of wine in the mixture.
A. 24
B. 28
C. 24
D. 25
Option D
Let quantity of wine and water in the mixture is 5x and 3x respectively.
(5x – 16 * 5/8)/(3x – 16 * 3/8 + 16) = 3/5
5x – 10/3x – 6 + 16 = 3/5
5x – 10/3x + 10 = 3/5
25x – 50 = 9x + 30
16x = 80
x=5
quantity of wine in the initial mixture = 5 * 5 = 25 liter

B. Rs 2028 and Rs 1875
C. Rs 2020 and Rs 1750
D. Rs 3050 and Rs 1950
Option B
Dividing Rs. 3903 in the ratio of 676:625
Akansha’s present share = 676 of Rs. 3903
=(676+625)
= Rs. 2028
Banya’s present share = Rs. 3903 – Rs. 2028
=Rs. 1875

D. 32430 cm^2
Option A
C.S.A = 2640
2πrh = 2640
2 * 22/7 * r * 20 = 2640
r = 2640 * 7 / 44 * 20 = 21
volume = πr^2h = 22/7 * 21 * 21 * 20 = 27720 cm^2

=(360*18) / (144*5)
=9sec.

before increase ?
A. 4200
B. 4410
C. 5600
D. 6048
Correct Option: C
Let the number of males = x
∴ Number of females= 9800 – x
According to the question,
x ×108/100 + (9800 - x) ×105/100 = 10458
⇒ 108 x + 9800 × 105 – 105x = 1045800
⇒ 3x + 1029000 = 1045800
⇒ 3x = 1045800 – 1029000 = 16800
⇒ x = 16800/3
= 5600
75. 24 is divided into two parts such that 7 times the first part part added to 5 times the second part makes
146. The first part is ?
A. 11
B. 13
C. 16
D. 17
Correct Option: B
Let the two part be x and (24 - x),
Then, 7x + 5(24 - x) = 146
⇒ 7x + 120 - 5x = 146
⇒ 2x = 26
⇒ x = 13
∴ First part = x = 13
