Again 25% of mixture taken out from remaining mixture of container A put it on container C. Again 25% of mixture taken out and put in container D.
Quantity I: Amount of water in container B and C together?
Quantity II: Amount of milk in container C?
  • a)
    Quantity: I > Quantity: II
  • b)
    Quantity: I ≥ Quantity: II
  • c)
    Quantity: I < quantity:="" />
  • d)
    Quantity: II ≥ Quantity: I
  • e)
    Quantity I = Quantity II or relation can't be established
Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Mixture in Container A
- The ratio of milk to water in container A is 2:1.
- Total mixture in container A = 120 L.
- Therefore, milk = (2/3) * 120 L = 80 L.
- Water = (1/3) * 120 L = 40 L.
Calculating Mixtures Transferred to Container B
- 20% of the mixture taken out and put into container B:
- 20% of 120 L = 24 L.
- In this 24 L mixture:
- Milk = (2/3) * 24 L = 16 L.
- Water = (1/3) * 24 L = 8 L.
Calculating Remaining Mixture in Container A
- Remaining in container A = 120 L - 24 L = 96 L.
- Milk in remaining mixture = (2/3) * 96 L = 64 L.
- Water in remaining mixture = (1/3) * 96 L = 32 L.
Calculating Mixtures Transferred to Container C
- 25% of the remaining mixture taken out and put into container C:
- 25% of 96 L = 24 L.
- In this 24 L mixture:
- Milk = (2/3) * 24 L = 16 L.
- Water = (1/3) * 24 L = 8 L.
Calculating Mixtures Transferred to Container D
- Remaining in container A = 96 L - 24 L = 72 L.
- 25% of this remaining mixture taken out and put into container D:
- 25% of 72 L = 18 L.
- In this 18 L mixture:
- Milk = (2/3) * 18 L = 12 L.
- Water = (1/3) * 18 L = 6 L.
Final Quantities of Water and Milk
- Total amount of water in containers B and C:
- Container B = 8 L (water) + Container C = 8 L (water) = 16 L.
- Amount of milk in Container C = 16 L.
Conclusion
- Quantity I (water in B and C) = 16 L.
- Quantity II (milk in C) = 16 L.
- Thus, Quantity I = Quantity II.
The answer is option 'E', as both quantities are equal.

Directions: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
Democracy is a core value of the United Nations. The UN supports democracy by promoting human rights, development, and peace, and security. In the 75 years since the UN Charter was signed, the UN has done more to support democracy around the world than any other global organization. The UN promotes good governance, monitors elections, supports civil society to strengthen democratic institutions and accountability, ensures self-determination in decolonized countries, and assists in the drafting of new constitutions in post-conflict nations.
When the founders of the United Nations drafted the United Nations Charter, they did not mention the word democracy. In 1945, many of the UN Member States did not endorse democracy as a system or didn’t practice it. Yet, the opening words of the Charter, “We the Peoples”, reflect the fundamental principle of democracy - that the will of the people is the source of legitimacy of sovereign states and, therefore, of the United Nations as a whole.
The UN does not advocate for a specific model of government but promotes democratic governance as a set of values and principles that should be followed for greater participation, equality, security, and human development. Democracy provides an environment that respects human rights and fundamental freedoms, and in which the freely expressed will of people is exercised. People have a say in decisions and can hold decision-makers to account. Women and men have equal rights and all people are free from discrimination.
Q. Which of these values are not shown by the UN while supporting democracy?
  • a)
    Equal distribution of resources
  • b)
    Peace and security
  • c)
    Promoting development
  • d)
    Promoting human rights
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

  • a)
    18 day
  • b)
    17 day
  • c)
    16 day
  • d)
    14 day
  • e)

Kabir Verma answered
Given
Number of work C and D alone = 2 : 3
Formula Used
Work = Time × Efficiency
Calculation
Let the working days for A, B, C and D are
A = x, B = 2x, C = 2y, D = 3y
Now, 1/x + 1/2x = 1/2y + 1/3y
⇒ 3/2x = 5/6y
⇒ 18y = 10x
⇒ x : y = 9 : 5
And 2x – 2y = 16
Now, solving both the equations, we get,
⇒ x = 18 days.
∴Number of days which A worked alone is 18 days.

    Both III and II
  • b)
    Both I and II
  • c)
    Only I
  • d)
    Only II
  • e)
    Only III
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

To solve this question, let's analyze each statement one by one.

Statement I:
a) 10 km/h
b) 5 km/h
c) 16 hr

Let's assume the speed of the boat in still water is 10 km/h and the upstream speed is 5 km/h. According to the given information, the boat travels 60 km upstream and the same distance downstream in 16 hours.

To find the speed downstream, we can use the formula:
Speed downstream = (Speed in still water + Speed of current)
Using the given values, we can substitute the values and solve for the downstream speed:
Speed downstream = (10 + 5) = 15 km/h

Now, let's check if the boat travels 60 km downstream in 16 hours:
Time = Distance / Speed
Time downstream = 60 km / 15 km/h = 4 hours

Since the boat travels 60 km downstream in 4 hours, which is not equal to the given value of 16 hours, Statement I is not true.

Statement II:
a) 20 km/h
b) 15 km/h
c) 6 hr

Let's assume the speed of the boat in still water is 20 km/h and the upstream speed is 15 km/h. According to the given information, the boat travels 60 km upstream and the same distance downstream in 6 hours.

To find the speed downstream, we can use the formula:
Speed downstream = (Speed in still water + Speed of current)
Using the given values, we can substitute the values and solve for the downstream speed:
Speed downstream = (20 + 15) = 35 km/h

Now, let's check if the boat travels 60 km downstream in 6 hours:
Time = Distance / Speed
Time downstream = 60 km / 35 km/h = 1.71 hours

Since the boat travels 60 km downstream in approximately 1.71 hours, which is not equal to the given value of 6 hours, Statement II is not true.

Statement III:
a) 12.5 km/h
b) 10 km/h
c) 10.5 hr

Let's assume the speed of the boat in still water is 12.5 km/h and the upstream speed is 10 km/h. According to the given information, the boat travels 60 km upstream and the same distance downstream in 10.5 hours.

To find the speed downstream, we can use the formula:
Speed downstream = (Speed in still water + Speed of current)
Using the given values, we can substitute the values and solve for the downstream speed:
Speed downstream = (12.5 + 10) = 22.5 km/h

Now, let's check if the boat travels 60 km downstream in 10.5 hours:
Time = Distance / Speed
Time downstream = 60 km / 22.5 km/h = 2.67 hours

Since the boat travels 60 km downstream in approximately 2.67 hours, which is equal to the given value of 10.5 hours, Statement III is true.

Therefore, the values given in option III (a) 12.5 km/h, (b) 10 km/h, and (c) 10.5 hours will fill the blanks in the same order to make the statement true. Hence, the correct

Directions: Study the information given below carefully and answer the questions that follow.
A and B are two points 30 km apart from each other, B being directly Southward of A. One point M lies 3 km Westward from A, and Q lies 4 km Southward from there. N lies 1 km Eastward from B, with Y 2 km to the North of N. X lies a further 2 km Westward from Q. P is 1 km to the East of Y, and 10 km to the North of P is O. If a person can only walk in straight lines and take turns only at 90o angles, answer the questions below.
Q. If a person has reached 5 km to the East of Q, how far is he from N?
  • a)
    25 km
  • b)
    23 km
  • c)
    27 km
  • d)
    18 km
  • e)
    16 km
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Moumita Kaur answered
To find the distance between the person and point N, we need to trace the path taken by the person from Q to the point 5 km to the East of Q.

1. From Q, the person walks 2 km to the West to reach point X.
2. From X, the person continues walking 2 km to the West to reach point M.
3. From M, the person walks 3 km to the East to reach point A.
4. From A, the person walks 30 km to the South to reach point B.
5. From B, the person walks 1 km to the East to reach point N.

Therefore, the person is 1 km to the East of N.

Now, let's calculate the total distance traveled by the person:

- From Q to X: 2 km
- From X to M: 2 km
- From M to A: 3 km
- From A to B: 30 km
- From B to N: 1 km

Total distance traveled = 2 km + 2 km + 3 km + 30 km + 1 km = 38 km

Therefore, the person is 38 km away from N.

However, the question asks for the distance when the person has reached 5 km to the East of Q. This means the person has already covered a distance of 5 km from Q. So, we subtract this distance from the total distance traveled:

Distance from Q to the point 5 km to the East of Q = Total distance traveled - Distance already covered = 38 km - 5 km = 33 km

Therefore, the person is 33 km away from N.

The correct answer is option C) 27 km.

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Rohan Sengupta answered
We draw the following table from the given conditions
(i) In first row 6 is an even number and 36 is a perfect square so apply condition 3
→ 36 ÷ 6 = 6
Now 6 is an even no. and next 36 is a perfect square so apply condition 3
→ 36 ÷ 6 = 6
Now 6 is an even no. and next 12 is a two digit even number so apply condition 4
→ 6 × 12 = 72 and 72 is the resultant of 1st row.
(ii) In 2nd row 15 is an odd no. and 11 is a two digit odd no. so condition 2 is applied
→ 17 – 13 = 4
Now 4 is an even number and next 12 is a two digit even no. so apply condition 4
→ 4 × 12 = 48
Now 48 is an even number and 144 is a perfect square so apply condition 3
→ 144 ÷ 48 = 3 and 3 is the resultant of the second row
Now difference of resultant of 1st and 2nd row = 72 – 3 = 69
Hence, the correct option is (C).

Direction: In the following question, some part of the sentence may have an error. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If a sentence is free from errors, select option 'No error'.
Q. We agreed to get /(A) together sooner than later /(B) and I’m looking forward /(C) to work with him. /(D) No error /(E)
  • a)
    A
  • b)
    B
  • c)
    C
  • d)
    D
  • e)
    E
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Error Analysis:
The error in the given sentence is in part (C). The correct preposition to be used after "looking forward" is "to" instead of "to work". The correct sentence should be "I'm looking forward to working with him."

Corrected Sentence:
We agreed to get together sooner than later and I'm looking forward to working with him.

Explanation:
The given sentence is a compound sentence that expresses two ideas: agreeing to get together and looking forward to working with someone. Let's analyze each part of the sentence:

(A) "We agreed to get together sooner than later" - This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not contain any errors. It states that the speaker and someone else agreed to meet or spend time together in the near future.

(B) "and I'm looking forward" - This part of the sentence is also grammatically correct. The phrase "looking forward" indicates anticipation or excitement about something.

(C) "to work with him" - This is the part of the sentence that contains the error. After the phrase "looking forward," the correct preposition to be used is "to" followed by a gerund (verb + -ing form). Therefore, the correct phrase should be "looking forward to working with him." This means the speaker is excited or eager to work together with the person mentioned.

(D) "No error" - This option is incorrect as we have identified an error in part (C) of the sentence.

(E) "No error" - This option is incorrect as we have identified an error in part (C) of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (C), and the sentence should be corrected as "We agreed to get together sooner than later and I'm looking forward to working with him."

  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Raj Mehta answered
Explanation:

Consortium refers to a formal arrangement where more than one bank provides credit facilities to a single party in coordination with each other. It is a common practice in the banking industry, especially for large-scale projects that require substantial funding.

Here is a detailed explanation of why the correct answer is option 'B' - Consortium:

1. Participation: Participation generally refers to a situation where a bank buys a portion of a loan from another bank that originally extended the credit facility. It involves the transfer of risk and benefits of the loan to the participating bank. However, it does not necessarily involve coordination and joint lending among multiple banks.

2. Syndication: Syndication is a process where a group of banks comes together to provide a loan to a borrower. However, in syndication, each bank has a separate agreement with the borrower and holds a distinct portion of the loan. The banks cooperate in the loan process but do not have a formal arrangement to coordinate their lending activities.

3. Multiple Banking: Multiple banking refers to a situation where a borrower maintains multiple banking relationships and obtains credit facilities from different banks. However, in multiple banking, there is no formal arrangement or coordination among the banks. Each bank operates independently and assesses the borrower's creditworthiness on its own.

4. Consortium: Consortium, on the other hand, involves a formal arrangement among multiple banks to jointly provide credit facilities to a single party. The banks work together as a group and coordinate their lending activities. They share the risk, benefits, and decision-making process related to the credit facility. This arrangement allows the borrower to access a larger amount of funds than what a single bank can provide. Consortium lending is commonly used for large-scale projects such as infrastructure development, real estate projects, and corporate financing.

In conclusion, the term used for a formal arrangement where multiple banks provide credit facilities to a single party in coordination with each other is a Consortium. This arrangement allows banks to pool their resources and expertise to provide larger credit facilities and manage the associated risks effectively.

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Bibek Dasgupta answered
To solve this problem, let's first assign variables to the rates at which A, B, and C can complete the work.

Let:
- The rate at which A can complete the work be "a" (in units of work per day),
- The rate at which B can complete the work be "b" (in units of work per day), and
- The rate at which C can complete the work be "c" (in units of work per day).

Given information:
1. C working alone takes twice as long as A and B working together.
- This means that the ratio of their rates is 1:2, or a:b = 1:2.
- Therefore, C's rate can be expressed as c = 2a + 2b.

2. A working alone takes 3 times as long as B and C working together.
- This means that the ratio of their rates is 3:1, or a:c = 3:1.
- From the previous equation (c = 2a + 2b), we can substitute c with (2a + 2b) in the ratio, giving a:(2a + 2b) = 3:1.
- Simplifying this ratio gives a:b = 3:4.

3. All three together can complete the work in 5 days.
- This means that their combined rate is 1/5 of the work per day, or a + b + c = 1/5.

Now, let's solve the system of equations to find the values of a, b, and c.

Equation 1: a:b = 3:4
- We can choose any convenient values for a and b that satisfy this ratio.
- Let's assume a = 3 and b = 4.
- Therefore, a:b = 3:4.

Equation 2: c = 2a + 2b
- Substituting the assumed values of a and b, we get c = 2(3) + 2(4) = 6 + 8 = 14.

Equation 3: a + b + c = 1/5
- Substituting the values of a, b, and c, we get 3 + 4 + 14 = 1/5.
- Simplifying this equation gives 21 + 14 = 1/5.
- Therefore, 35 = 1/5, or 35/5 = 1.
- Hence, the equation is satisfied.

Now, let's consider the second scenario where A's efficiency becomes twice what it was earlier.

New values:
- Let A's new rate be "a'".
- Since A's new efficiency is twice what it was earlier, a' = 2a.

A and C started the work together, but C left after some time, and A finished the remaining work in 5 days.

Let's assume that C left after "x" days from the start.

Key points:
- In "x" days, A and C working together can complete (a' + c)x units of work.
- In the remaining 5 - x days, A working alone can complete a'(5 - x) units of work.
- The total work completed is equal to 1 (the entire work

Rohan Sengupta answered
Eight persons: P, Q, R, S, A, B, C, and D
Number of assignments: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24.
1. Q is sitting in the smaller circle, third to the left of C, and have to submit 6 assignments.
2. S faces the person who is an immediate neighbor of C, but not the one who have submitted less than 10 assignments.
On combining these two lines we get, that S faces the person who sit on the immediate left of C.
3. A sit second to the left of P, and have to submit five times more submit than P.
4. B and P are immediate neighbor of each other.
5. Number of assignments A and B have to submit together is three more than to the number of assignments submitted by S.
On combining these three sentences we get,
A and P both sit on the bigger circle as no space left for them to sit in the smaller circle and also we have two cases for the position of P.
A will submit 15 assignments and P will submit 3 assignments.
A will submit 15 assignments and B will submit 9 assignments and the total of their assignments are 24.
According to this the number of assignments submitted by S is 21.
Now we have two cases for the position of P.
First Case: When P sits on the immediate right of B.
Second Case: When P sits on the immediate left of B.
6. D faces the person who have to submit three more assignments than D.
From this line we have three possibilities for the position of D.
First Case: When D faces S.
In this case D will submit 18 assignments.
First Case (a): When D faces A.
In this case D will submit 12 assignments.
Second Case: When D faces S and submit 18 assignments.
7. R has to submit half number of assignments than C.
From this sentence it is clear that R will submit 12 assignments and C will submit 24 assignments.
So, our First case (a) is eliminated.
From this it is now clear that D will submit 18 assignments.
First Case:
Second Possibility:
8. The person who sits on the immediate right of B have to submit the number of assignments which is square root of the number of assignments B has to submit.
From this sentence our Second case is eliminated, as in that A sit to the immediate right of B, and submitting 12 assignments which is not possible as 12 is not the square root of 9.
The final arrangement:
Number of assignments submitted by D = 18.
Number of assignments submitted by B = 9.
Product = 18 × 9 = 162
So, 162 is the product of the number of the assignments submitted by D and B together.
Hence, the correct option is (C).

Calculation of the average age of 4 sisters before the youngest one was born:
1. Given Information:
- Ram has 5 daughters.
- The average age of the 5 sisters is 28 years.
- The youngest daughter is 16 years old.
2. Calculate the sum of the ages of all 5 daughters:
- Total age of 5 sisters = 5 * 28 = 140 years
3. Subtract the age of the youngest daughter:
- Sum of the ages of the 4 older sisters = 140 - 16 = 124 years
4. Calculate the average age of the 4 older sisters:
- Average age of 4 sisters = 124 / 4 = 31 years
5. Conclusion:
- The average age of the 4 sisters before the youngest one was born was 31 years.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B) 15 years.

Arindam Roy answered
Given:
- 30% increase in the price of an article in the first year
- 20% decrease in the second year
- 10% increase in the next year
- Present price of the article is Rs. 2288

To find:
- The price of the article 3 years ago

Solution:
Let's assume the price of the article 3 years ago was x.

Year 1:
- 30% increase in the price of the article
- New price = x + (30/100)x = x + 0.3x = 1.3x

Year 2:
- 20% decrease in the price of the article
- New price = 1.3x - (20/100)(1.3x) = 1.3x - 0.26x = 1.04x

Year 3:
- 10% increase in the price of the article
- New price = 1.04x + (10/100)(1.04x) = 1.04x + 0.104x = 1.144x

Given that the present price of the article is Rs. 2288, we can equate it to the price after 3 years:

1.144x = 2288

Dividing both sides by 1.144:
x = 2288 / 1.144
x = 2000

Therefore, the price of the article 3 years ago was Rs. 2000.

Hence, the correct answer is option 'B' (Rs. 2000).

Naveen Jain answered
Analysis of Quantity 1
- The sequence is: 12, 21, 39, 77, 147, 291.
- To identify the pattern, let's look for a relationship between the numbers:
- 21 = 12 + 9
- 39 = 21 + 18
- 77 = 39 + 38
- 147 = 77 + 70
- 291 = 147 + 144
- The differences are: 9, 18, 38, 70, 144.
- The differences between these differences do not follow a consistent pattern. Upon further scrutiny, 39 seems to be the wrong term as it doesn’t fit a logical progression.
Analysis of Quantity 2
- The sequence is: 35, 110, 327, 984, 2955.
- Analyzing the pattern:
- 110 = 35 * 3 + 5
- 327 = 110 * 3 - 3
- 984 = 327 * 3 - 3
- 2955 = 984 * 3 - 3
- This sequence appears to follow a consistent multiplication and addition/subtraction pattern.
- All numbers seem to fit their respective positions without any apparent wrong term.
Conclusion
- The wrong term in Quantity 1 is 39, while Quantity 2 has no wrong term.
- Thus, since there is a clear wrong term in Quantity 1 and none in Quantity 2, we can conclude that:
Correct Answer: Quantity 1 < quantity="" />
This leads us to choose option 'B' as the correct option based on the analysis of the sequences.

Kabir Verma answered
Given
A shopkeeper markup his goods 25% above the cost price and gives 12% discount to customer at the time of selling.
He uses 900 gm weight instead of 1 kg.
Let cost of 1000 gm = Rs. 1000
Now,
C.P. of 1100 gm = Rs. 1000 ----(1)
C.P. = Rs. 1000
M.P. = Rs. 1250
Discount = 12%
S.P. = Rs. 1100
S.P. of 900 gm = Rs. 1100 ----(2)
To make quantities equal in equation (1) and (2),
Equation (1) Multiply by 9 and Equation (2) Multiply by 11
⇒ Actual C.P. = Rs. 1000 × 9 = Rs. 9000
Actual S.P. = Rs. 1100 × 11 = Rs. 12100
⇒ Profit = 12100 - 9000 = 3100
Profit percentage = 3100 × 100/9000 = 34.4%

Rohan Sengupta answered
We have:
  • The letters of the word “MOVIE” are placed against the numbers which are multiples of three.
  • Three letters are placed between M and R.
That means, in case (1) R is placed immediate left of I, in case (2) R is placed second to the left of V.
  • The number of letters placed to the right of R is the same as the number of letters placed to the left of C.
Based on the above given information we have:
Again, we have:
  • Four letters are placed between C and U.
That means, in case (1) U is placed immediate left of M, in case (2) U is placed immediate right of M.
  • D is placed fifth to the left of N, which is placed to the right of C.
  • The number of letters placed between D and I is one more than the number of letters placed between W and R.
That means, in case (2) D is immediate left of E, case (1) is not valid.
Based on the above given information we have:
Case (1) is not valid as the number of letters placed between D and I is one more than the number of letters between W and R.

Rohan Sengupta answered
Given Word: INFORMATION
We can use the positional values of letters/alphabets in the English alphabetical series so as to map the letters in an easier manner.
According to the English alphabetical series the positional values of letters are given as follow:
The letters are mapped as shown:
Pairs in the forward direction: NT and FN.
Pairs in the backward direction: NO and MO.
So, we have only four such pairs of letters in the word “INFORMATION” which have as many letters between them as in the English alphabetical series (Both in forward and backward direction). [K1]
NOTE 1: Forward direction means mapping the letters from A to Z from left end to right end and backward direction means mapping the letters from A to Z from right end to left end.
NOTE 2: Alphabetical series is from A to Z and reverse alphabetical series is from Z to A. The series does not occur in a cycle so we either take A to Z (A, B, C...) or Z to A (Z, Y, X…) as per the question.
Hence, the correct option is (C).

Gowri Dasgupta answered
Understanding the Departure Time
To solve the problem, we first need to determine the train's departure time based on the symbols provided.
Train Departure Time
- The symbol '@#' translates to 3:9 AM.
- Thus, the train departs at 3:45 AM.
Travel Time to the Station
- Rahul takes 3 hours and 20 minutes to reach the railway station.
- To find out when he should arrive at the station, we need to subtract 25 minutes from the departure time.
Calculating Arrival Time at the Station
- 3:45 AM (departure) - 25 minutes = 3:20 AM.
- Therefore, Rahul needs to arrive at the station by 3:20 AM.
Calculating Leave Time from Home
- Now, we need to subtract the travel time (3 hours and 20 minutes) from the arrival time (3:20 AM).
- 3:20 AM - 3 hours = 12:20 AM.
- 12:20 AM - 20 minutes = 12:00 AM.
Conclusion
- Rahul should leave his home by 12:00 AM to reach the station on time.
- The correct option, which represents 12:00 AM, is '%%'.
Thus, the answer is option 'E'.

1) Persons sitting at the extreme ends are facing in the same direction.
2) Four of them are facing in north direction and remaining are facing in south direction.
3) No one is sitting to the left of S.
4) S%X means S and X are neighbours.
5) C2*X means C is sitting second to the left of X.
6) A2/B means A is sitting second to the right of B.
7) B%C means B is an immediate neighbour of C.
8) B%Y means B and Y are the immediate neighbours.
9) B2/A means B is sitting second to the right of A.
Therefore case 1.1 and 2.1 gets eliminated.
10) C and Y are facing in opposite direction and C is facing same direction as T.
Now, in case 2.2 if C face the same direction as T i.e. South then there will be 4 people in the row facing south. So, case 2.2 eliminates.
Except B, all are facing in North direction.
Hence, the correct option is (B).

Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?

Hridoy Sharma answered
Calculation:

Tables on Floor 4 of Building A:
First, let's calculate the total number of tables on Floor 4 of Building A before any changes are made.
Total number of tables on Floor 4 of Building A = 24 (from tables on Floor 4) + 47 (from tables on Floor 1) = 71 tables

Impact of Joker card:
When a Joker card is picked, 10 chairs are added to each floor of each building. Since only tables were removed from Building A initially, the total number of tables on Floor 4 of Building A remains the same.
Therefore, after picking the Joker card and adding 10 chairs to each floor, the total number of tables on Floor 4 of Building A remains at 71 tables.
Therefore, the total number of tables on Floor 4 of Building A after removing the first 5 tables and picking the Joker card will be 71 tables.
Hence, the correct answer is option 'E) 29'.

Let's understand the meaning of these words:
  • Emboldened: given (someone) the courage or confidence to do something
  • Annexing: taking possession of an area of land or a country, usually by force or without permission
  • Coercive: using force to persuade people to do things that they are unwilling to do
It should read as:
The 'Middle Kingdom' evidently feels emboldened to adopt such pressures after it has succeeded in annexing territories across its maritime borders, using coercive diplomatic, economic, and military pressures.
Hence, the correct option is (C).

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Kavya Saxena answered
Given
Total number of caps = 5
P(E) =
E1: Event that first drawn cap is blue and second is black.
E2: Event that first drawn cap is black and second is blue.
⇒ P(E1) = (3/5) x (2/4) = (6/20)
⇒ P(E2) = (2/5) x (3/4) = (6/20)
⇒ P(E) = P(E1) + P(E2)
As we know
= (6/20) + (6/20)
= 12/20
= 3/5

Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?

Kabir Verma answered
The population of town A in the third year = 180600
It increased by 3% and 7.5% in the second and third year respectively.
The population of town A in the second year = 180600/1.075 = 168000
The population of town A in the first year = 168000/1.05 = 160000
The population of town B in the second year was equal to 150% of the population of town A in the first year.
The population of town B in the second year = 160000 × 1.50 = 240000
The population of town B increased by 25% in the second year.
Therefore, the population of town B in the first year = 240000/1.25 = 192000
The population growth rate of town B in the third year was half of that of the previous year means 25/2 = 12.5%
So, the population of town B in the third year = 240000 × 1.125 = 270000
The area of town C is 1250 km2 and the population density for the second year was 250.
Therefore, the population of town C in the second year = 250 × 1250 = 312500
The growth rate for town C was 11.11% and 10% for the second and the third year respectively.
So, the population of town C in the first year = 312500/1.111 = 281250
The population of town C in the third year = 312500 × 1.10 = 343750
Let the total population of town D in the third year = x
The difference between the total population of town D in the third year and the total population of town A in the first year = The difference between the total population of town B in the second year and the total population of town D in the third year.
So, x - 160000 = 240000 - x
x = 200000
Area of city D = 20% of 1250 = 250 km2
Population density of town D for the third year = 200000/250 = 800 per km2
Hence, the correct answer is 800 per km2.

Rohan Sengupta answered
The given sentence is grammatically correct. So, there is no need to improve the sentence.
The verbs used in the sentence is in simple future tense. The formula for the simple future is will + [root form of verb].
When two or more verbs have the same subject, the verbs must be parallel. Parallel verbs mean the verbs used in a sentence should all be the same tense.
​Before 'and', the verb 'will form' is used, and 'help pave' is used after (the verb 'will doesn't have to be repeated twice'.
So, 'No improvement' is the correct option.

Rutuja Gupta answered

Explanation:

Original Sentence: Why should one be proud of anything, since we’re all products of nature and nurture, neither in that we ourselves are responsible for?

Correction:

- Option (iii): neither of which we ourselves are responsible for

The correct phrase to use in this context is "neither of which we ourselves are responsible for." This conveys the idea that we are not responsible for being products of nature and nurture, so there is no reason to be proud. The phrase "neither in that" in the original sentence is incorrect and does not fit the context. Option (iii) provides the appropriate correction to improve the sentence.

Hridoy Sharma answered
Calculation:
Building A:
- Total tables in Building A = 24 + 94 + 35 + 47 = 200 tables
- Tables divided equally on each floor = 200/4 = 50 tables per floor
Building C:
- Total tables on floor 2 of Building C = 58 tables
- Total tables on floor 3 of Building C = 52 tables
Difference:
- Difference = 58 - 52 = 6 tables
Therefore, the difference in number of tables on floor 2 of building C and number of tables on floor 3 of building A is 6 tables.

Rohan Sengupta answered
Number of students who like only coffee = (28/100)×200=56
Number of students and who like coffee = (55/100)×200=110
Number of students who like both coffee and tea but not cold drink = 30 - 18 = 12
Number of students who like both coffee and cold drink but not Tea = 110 - 56 - 30 = 24
Number of students who would like both tea and cold drink but not coffee = (25/100) ×24=6
Number of student whole life at least one out of Coffee, tea and cold drink = 200 - 14 = 186
Number of student who like either only tea or only cold drink = 186 - (56 + 12 + 24 + 18 + 6) = 70
Number of students who like only tea =4/7×70=40
Number of student who like only cold drink = 70 - 40 = 30

    32 kmph
  • b)
    48 kmph

    56 kmph
  • d)
    64 kmph
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Rohan Sengupta answered
When A and B meet for the first time, both of them have travelled for the same time
As a result, the distance covered by them will be equal to the ratio of their speeds
Let the time taken to meet for the first time be ‘T’ hours from the time of the start
A and B would take (T + 8) and (T + 18) hours respectively to cover the entire distance
⇒ Ratio of the total time taken by A and B = (T + 8) : (T + 18)
If the distance is constant, then the speed is inversely proportional to Time
⇒ Ratio of speeds of A : B = (T + 18) : (T + 8)
Given: A’s speed = 96 km/hr
When they meet for the first time, A should have covered (96 × T) kms which is the distance which B will cover in 18 hours
⇒ Ratio of the speeds of A and B = 96 : (96T/18)
⇒ (T + 18) : (T + 8) = 96 : (96T/18)
⇒ (T + 18) : (T + 8) = 18 : T
⇒ (T + 18) × T = (T + 8) × 18
⇒ T2 + 18T = 18T + 144
⇒ T2 = 144
⇒ T = 12 hours
Speed of B = ((96x12)/18) kmph = 64 kmph
∴ Speed of B = 64 kmph
Hence, the correct option is (D).

Kavya Saxena answered
1) M is sitting second to the right of the person who likes the blue colour.
(We can randomly select a seat for the person who likes the blue colour and then we can place M accordingly.)
2) P is the immediate neighbour of M.
(There are two possibilities here:
Case I: P is sitting to the immediate right of M.
Case II: P is sitting to the immediate left of M.)
3) The person who likes the green colour is sitting second to the left of P.
(Case I: The person who likes green colour is sitting to the immediate left of the person who likes blue colour.
Case II: The person who likes green colour is sitting to the immediate left of M.)
4) N is sitting second to the left of L.
5) L and Q do not like the blue colour.
(Case I: There is only one possibility to place N and L i.e. L is sitting to the immediate left of the person who likes blue colour and N is sitting to the immediate right of M.
Case II: There is only one possibility to place L and N in this case as well, i.e. L is sitting to the immediate left of M and N is sitting to the immediate left of the person who likes blue colour. Also, as Q does not like the blue colour, implies, in both cases, Q is sitting second to the left of M as it is the only possibility.)
6) Only one person is sitting between Q and the person who likes the brown colour.
(In both the cases, it means that M likes brown colour as the person who likes blue colour is sitting second to the left of Q.)
7) The person who likes red colour is sitting second to the left of O.
(In both cases, there is only one place left for O i.e. the seat that is second to the left of M. Also, in both cases, Q likes red colour as O likes blue colour.)
8) The person who likes Yellow is an immediate neighbour of M.
9) P does not like Yellow.
(In case II, P will be the person who likes Yellow colour which is not possible. Hence, case II is not true.
In case I, N likes Yellow and P likes White.)
Clearly, N likes Yellow colour.

Direction: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
There are four boys namely Varun, Vinayak, Shivam, and Anuj, and four girls namely Bhumica, Jayanti, Sheetal, and Karishma in a group and each can complete a piece of work in a different number of days. Jayanti can complete the piece of work in 12 days. The number of days taken by Shivam to complete the work is 25% more than the number of days taken by Jayanti to complete the work. The ratio of the number of days taken by Shivam and Varun to complete the work is 3 ∶ 4. The number of days taken by Varun to complete the work is 100% more than the number of days taken by Bhumica to complete the work. The efficiency of Bhumica is 50% more than the efficiency of Karishma. The ratio of the number of days taken by Varun, Vinayak, and Sheetal are 5 ∶ 4 ∶ 2 respectively. The number of days taken by Anuj to complete the work is 50% more than the number of days taken by Sheetal to complete the work.

  • c)
    25 days
  • d)
    18 days
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Kiran Saha answered
Understanding the Problem
To solve the problem, we need to determine the number of days Karishma and Varun take to complete the work when they work on alternate days.
Step 1: Determine Days Taken by Each Person
- Jayanti: 12 days
- Shivam: 25% more than Jayanti = 12 + (0.25 * 12) = 15 days
- Shivam to Varun Ratio: 3:4
- If Shivam takes 15 days, Varun takes (15 * 4/3) = 20 days.
- Varun to Bhumica: Varun takes 100% more than Bhumica.
- Bhumica’s days = 20 / 2 = 10 days.
- Bhumica’s Efficiency: 50% more than Karishma.
- If Bhumica takes 10 days, Karishma takes (10 / 1.5) = 6.67 days (approximately 7 days).
- Days Ratio for Varun, Vinayak, Sheetal: 5:4:2.
- Varun = 20 days implies Vinayak = 16 days and Sheetal = 8 days.
- Anuj: 50% more than Sheetal = 8 + (0.5 * 8) = 12 days.
Step 2: Work Done by Karishma and Varun
- Karishma: 7 days to complete the work.
- Varun: 20 days to complete the work.
Step 3: Calculate Work Done in Alternate Days
- Daily Work by Karishma: 1/7
- Daily Work by Varun: 1/20
Combined Work for 2 Days
- Total work in 2 days: (1/7 + 1/20) = (20 + 7) / 140 = 27 / 140.
Step 4: Total Days Calculation
- Work completed in 2 days = 27/140.
- Work done after 'x' days = (27/140) * (x/2).
- Set equal to 1 (total work) to find x:
27x = 280, x ≈ 10.37 days (for 20 days).
- Total days = 20 + (10.37 * 2) = 20 + 20.74 = 25.74 days.

The lion was the king of the forest. He had three servants the leopard, the fox and the crow. One day, a camel wandered into the forest. When the lion saw the camel, he said, “Who is this animal? Does he belong to the forest? Or the town? Go at once and find out about him.” The crow said, “Ah! This is a camel. He lives in the town. You can kill him and eat him up.” The lion said, “I cannot kill my guest. No promise is greater than the promise of safety. Give the camel the assurance of his safety and bring him to me.”
The servants went to the camel and after assuring him of his safety, they presented him before the lion. The camel narrated his tragic tale to the lion. The lion said, “Dear camel! You need not go back to the town. You need not carry heavy loads or lead your life as a man’s slave. This forest is full ____ soft grass and lush green trees with tender leaves. You may live here.” The camel happily agreed. The camel thought that there was no danger to his life and so he began to lead a happy life in the forest. One day, a huge elephant came into the forest. There was a terrible fight between the lion and the elephant. The lion was badly wounded. Now he could not even walk on his own. The lion said to his servants, “Bring an animal here so that I can kill him and we can all eat him us.”
The servants searched all over the forest. But they could not find even one animal who was silly enough to be the lion’s prey willingly. The fox went to the lion and said, “Master, we searched all over the forest, but we could not find any animal. If you agree, we can kill the camel and satisfy our hunger.” The lion was furious to hear this. “Shame on you! You sinner!” roared the lion angrily. “If you dare to utter these words again, I will kill you. How can I kill the camel whom I have promised safety?” The clever fox said, “I agree that it is a sin to kill the one whom you have promised safety. But master, if the loyal camel offers himself as your prey, it is not a sin.” The hungry lion said, “In that case, you may do as you wish.”
The fox quickly went and whispered to other servants something in their ears. He then went to the camel and said, “Our king is wounded and he cannot walk. He cannot even hunt his prey. He is starving to death. We are going to see him. Please come with us.” All of them went to the lion. The crow said, “Master, we could not find prey for you. So I request you to kill me and satisfy your hunger. This sacrifice will find me a place in heaven. It is said that the one who laid down his life for his master goes to heaven.” Hearing this, the fox, “Even if the master kills you, he cannot fill his stomach by eating a small bird like you.” Then bowing to the lion, he said, “Master, please kill me and eat me up.”
The leopard at once interrupted and said, “No, master. The fox belongs to the family of dogs. Besides, he has nails on his paws. It is not right to kill an animal with nails.” Bowing to the lion, the leopard said, “Master, kill me, eat me up and assure my place in heaven.” Hearing these animals, the camel thought, “Each of these animals offered himself as the lion’s prey, but the lion did not kill anyone. Now let me also offer to lay down my life so that I can become the lion’s pet.”
The camel said to the leopard, “Friend, you are right. But ever you have nails on your paws. So how can the master eat you?” The camel then came forward.
He stood before the lion, bowed to him and said, “O master! You may kill me and satisfy your hunger. This will assure my place in heaven.” As the camel was saying this, the leopard and the fox pounced on him. The camel fell down and tossed about with pain. At last, the innocent camel died.

Kabir Verma answered
The second last sentence of the third paragraph says, 'Even if the master kills you, he cannot fill his stomach by eating a small bird like you.', so Sentence A is incorrect.
In the third line of the second paragraph we read, 'If you dare to utter these words again, I will kill you. How can I kill the camel whom I have promised safety?', so Sentence B is incorrect.
The last line of the fourth paragraph says, 'Each of these animals offered himself as the lion’s prey, but the lion did not kill anyone. Now let me also offer to lay down my life so that I can become the lion’s pet.', so Sentence C is correct.

Harsh Gupta answered
Understanding the Problem
To decode the word "page," we need to analyze the codes provided in the two statements.
Statement I Analysis
- “word letter number” is written as “pxy gxy dxy”
- “number marks page” is written as “sxy pxy txy”
From Statement I, we can gather:
- The code for “number” is common in both phrases, but we cannot isolate it to find the code for “page.”
Statement II Analysis
- “page marks letter” is written as “dxy txy sxy”
- “word number page” is written as “pxy txy gxy”
From Statement II, we observe:
- The phrase “page marks letter” gives us a direct reference for “page” with its code in the context. The code for “page” is represented as “dxy” since “marks” and “letter” have separate codes that can be identified.
Conclusion
- Statement I does not provide a unique code for “page” as it cannot isolate “page” from the phrases.
- Statement II clearly identifies the code for “page” as “dxy.”
Thus, the correct answer is:
Correct Option: b) The data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

    Rs. 5445
  • d)
    Rs. 6850
  • e)
    Rs. 6345
Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?

Dia Mehta answered
Given
Total students = 235
Increased = 22
Expenses = + 76
Calculation:
Let total expenditure be 235X
⇒ Expenditure increase = 235X + 76
⇒ (235X + 76)/(235 + 22) = X – 2
⇒ 235X + 76 = 257X – 514
⇒ 22X = 590
⇒ X = 26.81
⇒ X ≈ Rs 27
Approximate original expenditure = 27 × 235
∴ Total original expenditure is Rs 6345.
