HINTS & SOLUTIONS

1. (5) 2. (3) From Statement I :

P 8000P 1000 2P P 8000 20002

+− = ⇒ − − =

∴ P = 10000 From Statement II :

A P 9000 A P 18000 P 100002+

= ⇒ + = ⇒ =

Thus, either I or II is sufficient. 3. (2) From I : We get the cost of refrigerator and stand = T 10500 From II :

25% of x = 850 25x 850 25x 850 100100

⇒ = ⇒ = ×

850 100x 340025×

∴ = =

Present price = (3400 + 850) = T 4250. 4. (3) Both the statement are required to get the code of

day. From statement I : ta na pe ga = coldest decade day Delhi.

sa ke ga ze = day temperature dipped 18. So the code for ‘day’ will be ‘ga’.

5. (5) From - I :

From - II :

From both the statement it’s not clear who is sitting

between C and K. 6. (2) I is not a practical course of action. II follows, as

enquiry is the norm after every failures/ incidents. 7. (2) I is right course of action as it will protect pillion

riders but II will solve one question and create another problem.

8. (4) Both of the courses of action do not address the problem. It cannot be explained how values of life of multiple hobby classes can stop people from committing suicide.

9. (4)

From the above diagram the relation of E’s father

and M’s father is brother-in-law. 10. (2) If D and N have selected in a four member team.

Then, D N B H

D N F H D N K H D N L K Only these are possible to make a team. 11. (4) If L has to be selected H is must be selected L K J/N F/B H five member’s team. 12. (3) If H is not selected. Only three members is maximum to form a team. 16. (1) LPREA = (PEARL, LEPRA) 17-20.

17. (3) 18. (3) 19. (1) 20. (5) 21-25.

From clue (v) : Lecture E is delivered on

Wednesday. And the lecture F was not delivered on Thursday.

Again, from clue (iv) : Tuesday and Saturday were not holiday. From direction part it is obvious that neither Monday nor Sunday was holiday. So, by elimination holiday was either Thursday or on Friday.

Now, from clues (iii) and (iv) we get the following orders of lecture of B and F.

Y. Holiday F * * B Reject the possibility of ‘Y’ because according to it

there must be at least four lectures after holiday. This is not possible even when the holiday is on Thursday. Now, use the possibility ‘X’. If holiday is on Friday, two lectures (B & E) need to be arranged on Wednesday, which is not possible. Therefore, the holiday must be on Thursday. And the lectures B and F delivered on Tuesday and Friday respectively. Now, from clue (ii) : A can’t be delivered either on Monday or on Saturday. Obviously, the lecture A was delivered on Sunday. This implies that the lecture D was delivered on Saturday. By elimination, the lecture C was delivered on Monday.

Thus, the whole information can be tabulated as below:

42. (3) The student can fail in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 subjects. So the number of ways he can fail is 8C1 + 8C2 + 8C3 + 8C4 + 8C5 + 8C6 + 8C7 + 8C8 = 8 + 28 + 56 + 70 + 56 + 28 + 8 + 1 = 255. 43. (3) Interest = 960 – 800 = 160.

58. (2) In the year 2008 the export to import ratio is 1. That means both import and export are same. So the

difference is zero. ∴ The difference of export and import for company

B in the year 2008 is minimum.
