Answer: 2
Solution :
So three years ago, the sum of ages of father and mother = (x-6) years
According to question,
(x-6) / 2 = 46
x - 6 = 92
x = 98
Let the present sum of ages of the father, mother and son be y.
So, 5 years ago, the sum of ages of the father, mother and son = (y-15) years
(y-15) / 3 = 35
Y - 15 = 105
Y = 120

2) 33
3) 43
4) 7
5) 57
Answer: B
Explanation:
here the given sequence is 3, 7, 13, 21, 33, 43, 57
7-3=4
13 - 7 = 6
21 - 13 = 8
33 - 21 = 12
43 - 33 = 10
57 - 43 = 14
here we can see that difference between consecutive terms is increasing by 2 every time but due to
presence of 33 the pattern is not
getting formed and hence 31 is the right number in place of 33 and hence odd one out is 33

87) The ratio of the capacity to do work of A and B is 3: 2. if they together can complete a work in 18
days, then how long does a take to complete the work alone?
1) 20 days
2) 30 days
3) 45 days
4) 25 days
5) None of these
Answer: 2
Solution:
It is given that the ratio of the capacity to do work of A and B is 3: 2.
They together can complete the work in 18 days.
Let the efficiency of A and B are 3x and 2x respectively.
The sum of their efficiency = 3x + 2x = 5x
Therefore, efficiency = work / time
⇒ 5x = work / 18
⇒ Work = 90x
The efficiency of A is 3x and the total work is 90x.
Therefore, 3x = 90x / time
⇒ time = 90x / 3x = 30 days

2) x = 0, y = 6
3) x = 3, y = 6
4) x = 0, y = 9
5) None of these
Answer: 2
We can solve this question applying hit and trial method.
Among the given options, only option B (0 and 6) satisfies the divisibility conditions for factors of 33
(3 and 11).
The given number:
353292xy
Putting the values, we get
35329206
The sum of all the digits is = 30 which is divisible by 3.
And
(Sum of the digits at even places) - (Sum of the digits at odd places) = 15 - 15 = 0
Clearly, the number is divisible by 11 as well.
Direction (91-92): The graph shows the number of users in lakhs of three different mobile network
companies Yetel, Gio and Modafone in various years 2014 to 2017.
91) What is the ratio of the number of users of Yetel to that of Modafone during the period 2015 to
2017.
1) 36 : 37
2) 39 : 31
3) 38 : 39
4) 31 : 39
5) None of these
Answer: 2
Solution:
The number of users of Yetel during 2015 to 2017 = (55 + 80 + 60) = 195
The number of users of Modafone during 2015 to 2017 = (75 + 40 + 40) = 155
Required ratio = 195 : 155 = 39 : 31.
92) Total users of all three companies in 2017 are what percentage less than the total users of all the
three companies in 2014?
1) 11.9%
2) 9.9%
3) 12.5%
4) 22%
5) None of these
Answer: 1
Solution:
Total users of all three companies in 2014 = 70 + 80 + 60 = 210
Total users of all three companies in 2017 = 60 + 85 + 40 = 185
Reqd % = 210 – 185 × 100 = 11.9%

Ten candidates appeared for the written test. Their marks in the test are given in the table below:
Some marks in the table are missing, but the following facts are known:
1. No two candidates had the same composite score.
2. Ajay was the unique highest scorer in WE.
3. Among the four recruited, Geeta had the lowest composite score.
4. Indu was recruited.
5. Danish, Harini, and Indu had scored the same marks the in GA.
6. Indu and Jatin both scored 100% in exactly one section and Jatin’s composite score was 10 more
than Indu’s.
a) Only 2
b) Both 2 and 3
c) Only 1
d) Both 1 and 2
e) None of these
e) None of these

was less than Chetna's composite score, then what is the maximum marks that Bala could have
scored in DI?
a) 11
b) 12
c) 13
d) 14
e) 15
If all the candidates scored different marks in WE then what is the maximum marks that Harini could
have scored in WE?
a) 11
b) 12
c) 13
d) 14
e) 15
Answer 99 - 102
Danish, Harini, and Indu had scored the same marks the in GA.
Indu and Jatin both scored 100% in exactly one section and Jatin’s composite score was 10 more
than Indu’s.
Indu and Jatin both scored 100% in exactly one section and Jatin’s composite score was 10 more
than Indu’s.
Now, if Indu had scored 100% in DI, then her CS would be 20 × 2 + 8 + x = 60 or, x should be 12.
Now, this is a problem as Indu could have less than 70% in 2 sections and so would not have been
selected.
So, x = 20.
Indu and Jatin are in. The highest CS Geeta can get is 54, so Ester is also in.
Ajay could not have scored 19 in WE as his CS would then become 51 same as Danish.
So, Ajay should have scored 20 in WE resulting in an CS of 52.
Geeta should have scored a CS of more than 52 so she should have scored 19 or 20 in WE. But Ajay
was the unique highest scorer in WE.
So, Geeta should have score 19 in WE.
Options 1 and 2 are both true. Option 3 is not true.
Therefore Both 1 and 2
The question is "Which of the following statements MUST be true?"
99. Hence, the answer is Both 1 and 2
Choice D is the correct answer.
100. The question is "Which of the following statements MUST be FALSE?"
Hence, the answer is Bala scored same as Jatin in DI
Choice A is the correct answer.
Geeta should have scored a CS of more than 52 so she should have scored 19 or 20 in WE. But Ajay
was the unique highest scorer in WE.
So, Geeta should have score 19 in WE.
Let us assume Bala scored x in DI. His CS would be 2x + 20. We know 2x + 20 < 56 or, x < 18.
x = 17 gives Bala a CS of 54 which Chetna has scored.
x cannot be 16, 15 or 14 because Indu, Falak and Geetha have those scores.
x = 13 gives us a CS score of 46 which thankfully no one has.
Harini could not have scored 20, 19 or 18. If Harini had sored 17, her CS would have been 47 same as
Falak. So, 17 is also ruled out.
16 and 15 are also ruled out. Hmax could be 14. This gives us a CS of 44 which should be fine.
WE of 14 works

Direction(113- 124) : Read the following passages carefully and answer the questions given below
them. Certain words are given in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the
questions.
PASSAGE
India is a country of villages with total approx 2,00,000 small villages. Rural population still
dominates the urban population as far as the number is considered. This is despite the fact that
there is rampant migration of rural families to urban centres as per some sources almost 20% of the
villages have completely migrated. Generally, the gains of being a unit of the urban population are
less than the disadvantages and risks that are in-built in the urban life. Crime, riots, etc are some of
the examples of such risks of urban life.
The forces that generate conditions conducive to crime and riots are stronger in urban communities
than in rural areas. Urban living is more anonymous living, 30% of the migrated villagers were able to
upgrade to Urban Living. It often releases the individual from community restraints more common in
tradition-oriented societies. But more freedom from constraints and controls also provides greater
freedom to deviate. And living in the more impersonalized, formally controlled urban society means
that regulatory orders of conduct are often directed by distant bureaucrats. The police are strangers
executing these prescriptions on an anonymous set of subjects.
Minor offences in small town or village are often handled without resort to official police action. As
disputable as such action may seem to be, it results in fewer recorded violations of the law
compared to those in the big cities. Although perhaps causing some decision difficulties for the
police in small town, formal and objective law enforcement is not always acceptable to the villagers.
Urban area with mass population, greater wealth, more commercial establishments and more
products of our technology also provide more frequent opportunities for theft.
Victims are impersonalized, property is insured, consumer goods in more abundance are vividly
displayed and are more portable. The crime rate increases despite formal moral education given in
schools.
113) Which of the following would be the best title for the above passage?
1) Lure of Village Life
2) Rural-Urban Rift
3) Hazards of Urban Life
4) Crime and Punishment
5) Urban Crimes and their Reasons
Answer. 3
117) Which of the following statements is TRUE in the context of the passage?
1) Small communities have more minor crimes than in urban centres.
2) Urban crimes cannot be prevented.
3) Lack of personal contacts increases crimes in urban areas.
4) The display of consumer goods is the main cause of crime.
5) Police in urban areas settle minor disputes without official action.
Answer 3
118) Which of the following inference(s) can be drawn from the contents of the passage?
A) The migration of people from rural areas to urban centres is almost negligible.
B) Strangers can enforce laws in a more impartial manner than known people can.
C) Wealth has concentrated more in urban centres than in rural areas.
1) A and C only
2) All the three
3) B and C only
4) A and B only
5) None of these
Answer 3
120) It can be inferred from the passage that urban crime can be controlled by
1) vivid display of expensive consumer goods
2) making expensive consumer goods less portable
3) enforcement of law by distant bureaucrats

142) In a class of 60 students, 40% are girls. The average weight of the boys is 62kg and that of the
girls is 55kg. What is the average weight of the whole class?
1) 59.2 kg
2) 58.6 kg
3) 58.8 kg
4) 59 kg
5) 58
Answer: 1
Solution:
If 40% are girls, 40% of 60 = 24
Therefore, the number of girls = 24
Number of boys = 60 - 24 = 36
The average weight of boys = (total weight of boys) ÷ (no. of boys)
⇒ 62 = total weight /36
⇒ Total weight = 62 x 36 = 2232
The average weight of girls = (total weight of girls) ÷ (number of girls)
⇒ 55 = total weight /24
⇒ Total weight = 55 x 24 = 1320
For whole class, total weight = 1320 + 2232 = 3552
Hence, average weight of whole class = 3552 ÷ 60 = 59.2 kg

2) 10% loss
3) 5% gain
4) 15% gain
5) None of these
Answer: 3
Solution:
Let the cost price be Rs. x
Marked price = x + (40% of x)
= 140x/100
= Rs. 7x/5
Discounted price (or selling price) = 7x/5 - (25% of 7x/5)
= (7x/5) - (7x/20)
= Rs. 21x/20
Gain = SP - CP
= (21x/20) - x
= Rs. x/20
Gain % = (Gain/CP) x 100
= (x/20x) x 100
= 5%

Directions Q. (160 - 163): A passage is given with 5 questions following it. Read the passage
carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.
Dyslexia is a perceptual disorder often occurring in persons of normal, or even above-average
intelligence. The reader is unable to perceive correctly what is on a page. Letters and numbers often
appear reversed: "b" seems to be "d", "quite" is "quiet" and "from" is "form". The reader tends to
leave out letters or words or insert words or letters that are not there. Vowel and consonant sounds
may be confused. Many dyslexics are lefthanded or able to write with either hand. They often
confuse left and right. Learning to speak may also be delayed beyond infancy. The condition seems
to be inherited. It may persist into adulthood. However, with early recognition and specialized
approaches to teaching reading, most dyslexics can learn to read. Some researchers believe that
latent dyslexia may be aggravated by the way reading is taught. The modern whole-word, or look
and say method seems to be more of a hindrance to learning for dyslexics than it is for ordinary
pupils. The phonetic method of teaching students to learn letters and sound them out appears to
achieve better reading results. The problem of words that cannot be sounded out such as rough,
laugh or through is not solved by phonetics. These words must simply be memorized. However, for
