Hence statement c is incorrect.
9. Answer (d)
One hoolock gibbon died soon after the leak of
the oil from the blowout is not correct.
Because as per passage it extremely dangerous
for Hoolock Gibbon but Gangetic dolphin
died soon after the leak. Hence c is incorrect
statement and correct answer.
10. Answer (c)
Number of instalment = (Total amount)/
(Amount of each instalment)
Calculation:
Formula used:
Let the amount in each instalment be x
Let the total amount be a
Number of instalment = (Total amount)/
(Amount of each instalment)
According to the question, we get
(18)(x) = (60/100) * a
Right arrow (a / x) = (18 * 100) / 60
→30
Number of instalments are 30.
11. Answer- (a)
Let the first three consecutive numbers be x, x
+ 1 and x + 2.
Then, x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 27
→3x = 24
→x=8
... The first three numbers are 8, 9, 10.
→The next three numbers are 11, 12, 13.
Hence, the required sum = 11 + 12 + 13 = 36.
12. Answer (c).
The number when divided by 16 or 12 or 8 or 6
or 4 leaves a remainder of 2.
.. The number when divided by LCM of 16 or
12 or 8 or 6 or 4 that is 48 should also leave a
remainder of 2
→ When number is divided by 48, then

correct answer.
15. Answer (b)
According to the map place was about fifteen
kilometres away on the other side of the hills.
Hence statement b is correct.
16. Answer (c)
Clearly written in passage.
Recent failures to mobilize popular opinion
in favour of the mitigation of greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions have been blamed on
the unseasonably cool local weather and
the unhealthy state of the economy. Hence
statement 1 is correct.
It is found that although the state of the
economy has a significant effect on people's
attitudes towards the mitigation of GHG
emissions, variations in the annual temperature
do not. Hence statement 2 is correct.

By putting the numerical values we find the
salary of CLERK is most.
21. Answer (d)
Using S1 alone:
Unit digit of 9x is 1.
X can be 9 or 19 or 29 so the remainder obtained
when x is divided by 4 can be 1 or 3.
Hence S1 alone is NOT sufficient.
Using S2 alone:
x is a natural number.
Value of x can be any natural number. As
a result, the remainder obtained when x is
divided by 4 will NOT have a unique value.
Hence S2 alone is NOT sufficient.
Both statements together are not sufficient
either.
Hence, option (d) is correct.
22. Answer (c)
Assumption 1 is incorrect. The statement
mentions arresting climate change with the
help of funding and adaptation mechanisms.
Assumption 2 is incorrect.
Assumption 3 is incorrect. The statement
is beyond the scope of the passage because
the passage does not discuss the role of the
UN in making rich countries accountable for
the failed promise of funding for addressing
the impacts of climate change. Thus, it is an
incorrect assumption.
23. Answer (d)
Only Assumption IV is valid based on the
passage.

25. Answer (c)
The correct answer is Imparting similar
education to all children and questioning his
listeners to bring out their own ideas
Logical analysis
QQ The passage states two methods advocated
by Plato in the Republic. First, to keep
children away from mothers who would
then be raised as wards of the state.
Secondly, segregating children based on
castes in order to provide them highest
education so that they could guard the city
and the less abled.
Upon perusal of the above statement, it
QQ
can be concluded that imparting similar
education to all children and questioning
his listeners to bring out their own ideas
isn't not included in ‘The Republic’.
Hence option c is correct.
26. Answer (a)
The correct answer is guarding the city.
Logical analysis:
The passage states that Plato advocated
QQ
segregating children based on castes and
to provide them education of the highest
quality so that they could act as guardians
of the city and for the less abled as well.
QQ Upon perusal of the above statement, it
can be concluded that the children who are
imparted the highest education, would be
responsible for guarding the city. Hence
option a is correct.
Directions: Read the following passage and
answer the items that follow. Your answers to
these items should be based on the passages
only.
27. Answer (c)
Given that: 4 friends: A, B, C and D.
From statement I: C is between A and D.
Either A or D is sitting to the immediate right
of C. Hence, the data in statement I alone is not
sufficient to answer the question.
Samkalpofficial 4
 SAMKALP IAS
From statement II: D is to the immediate right
of C. Either A or B is sitting to the immediate
left of C. Hence, the data in statement II alone
is not sufficient to answer the question.
By combining I and II: we can conclude that A
is to the immediate right of B. Hence, option C
is correct.
28. Answer (c)
Given:- 60% of the voters are male, 40% of
the males are illiterate, and 25% of the females
are literate.
Calculation
Let the total population is 100.
Hence, the number of voters who are male is=
60, and the number of voters who are females
is= 40.
40% of the male are illiterate= (40/100)×60=24
25% of the females are literate= (25/100)×40=10
The number of illiterate males is 14 more than
that of literate females = 14/10×100=140%.
Hence, option C is correct.
29. Answer (a)

poor air causes death and diseases. Therefore,
the correct sequence is "strong winds- dust
storms- poor air quality- death, and disease'.
32. Answer (b)
The passage talks about how art serves as an
escape for man from his present experience and
shows him what he should strive to become.
So, statement 4 is wrong. The passage states
Aristotle’s argument that poetry is valuable.
The reason being poetry shows men not as they
are but also what they should be which they are
capable of becoming. Clearly, only statements
1, 2 and 3 are correct, and therefore, option b is
the appropriate answer.
33. Answer (d)
Statement 1 is incorrect. This is not a correct
assumption because it is beyond the scope of
the passage.
The passage nowhere discusses the food
security aspect of the future.
Statement 2 is incorrect. This statement might
seem to be a correct assumption. However, the
lines 3, it may be one of the worst environmental
problems facing the conservation of natural

40. Answer (b)
Given:
The ratio of the speeds of two trains = 2 : 7 and
the first train runs 250 km in 5 hours.
Formula: Speed = Distance/Time
Calculation: Hence
Let, the speed of the first train = 2 and the speed
of the second train = 7x
So, 2x = 250/5 = 50 ⇒ x = 50/2 = 25
∴ The speed of the first train = 2 × 25 = 50
km/h
Also, the speed of the second train = 7 × 25 =
175 km/h
The total of the two speeds is 50 + 175 = 225
km/h. Hence, option B is correct.

43. Answer (a)
In the passage, author has highlighted what
kind of changes individuals can do to ensure
that our dependence (and emission) of carbon
dioxide and GHGs has reduced. It implies
that the critical message of the passage is
that individuals can help in reducing global
warming by changing their behaviour and
consumption. Hence, option (a) is the best
choice. Option (b) is incorrect as we cannot
say that consumerist behaviour is the primary
reason. Moreover, it is not the critical message.
Option (c) is incorrect as we cannot say that the
effect of climate change cannot be reversed.
Option (d) is incorrect as it far-fetched. There
is no reference of role of states in the passage.

warming and neither is it mentioned that India
does not need to control deforestation. However,
the passage does state that ‘continuous illicit
cutting of trees has impacted the microclimatic
conditions, hydrological cycle, soil quality,
biodiversity, etc. of the country’.
49. Answer (a)
The passage highlights that ‘deforestation is one
of the most pressing environmental issues that
the world is facing currently’ and concludes by
suggesting that ‘Sustainable forest management
practices, alternatives for shifting cultivation,
promotion of plantation outside the forest and
the usage of certified forest products, etc. are
some of the measures that can be adopted to
curb the rate of deforestation’.
50. Answer (b)
Let the weight of A is 100 kg.
Then, when B is placed on top of A, weight =

Now, if B is removed from top, then weight
becomes 100 kg.
Reduction in weight as fraction=[ (800/3 - 100]

53. Answer (b)
We have a + c = e. So, possible values are: 6 +
4 = 10 or 4 + 2 = 6.
Also, b = 2d. So, possible values are: 4 = 2 × 2
or 10 = 5 × 2
Considering both we get:
b = 10, d = 5, a/c = 4 or 2, e = 6
Hence the correct option is (b).
54. Answer (a)
From statement I:
All numbers have 3 digits, except the smallest
number. So, smallest number must be 99, as
numbers are consecutive. Numbers will be
from 99 to 105. Their sum can easily be found
and its square too.
∴Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the
question.
From statement II:
Largest number is a multiple of 15. Largest
number can be 30, 45, 60, 75, and so on.
Numbers cannot be found uniquely, and hence
neither the square of their sum.
∴ Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer
the question.
Thus, S1 alone is sufficient to answer the
Question.
Hence, option (a) is correct.
55. Answer. ( b)
Statement 1 is incorrect. The passage doesn‟t
mention any relation of males with agriculture.
Hence, this assumption is not correct.
Statement 2 is correct. According to the
passage, the lines “The research efforts at the
ICAR institutes have tried to relieve her of the
drudgery by providing time and labour-saving
tools”. Here, the use of technology shows that
women can be given relief. So, the assumption
in the statement is correct.
Statement 3 is incorrect. The passage mentions,
“Her enlightenment will change the face of
rural India”.
However, there is no mention of migration
issue. Hence, this assumption is invalid.
Statement 4 is correct. According to the
passage, the lines “Vocational training are also
