A2. Profits of A and B will be in the ratio of investments, i.e. 4500:2700 = 5:3
Total profit = Rs 256
A's profit = 5 * 256 / 8 = 5 * 32 = Rs 160
A3. Statement 1
After drawing 3 masks, there can be 2 combinations possible -All three are of
same color or two are of same color and 1 is of different color. Hence we can
ensure that we can get two masks of same color after drawing 3 masks,
randomly.
If we draw less than 3 masks i.e. 2 masks , there is a possibility of both the masks
being of different color hence we can't ensure that these masks can be of
different color, hence the minimum number of masks we need to draw is 3.
Statement 2
To calculate the minimum number of students required, we need to consider the
worst case scenario i.e. the birthdays of students are evenly spread across all
the 12 months. We'll have to assume that there are atleast 5 birthday is each
month, so the total number of students required = 5* 12 = 60. To assure that
there is 1 month in which we have 6 birthdays, we'll have to add 1 to this number,
hence the minimum number of students required = 60 + 1 = 61

Language Comprehension
Q1. Choose the alternative which best expresses the opposite meaning of the
Sumit Sir underlined phrase in the following sentence. (CMAT 2024)
The phrase "at his wits' end" means being completely confused or not knowing
what to do.
Q2. Pick the most appropriate auxiliary verb to fill in the blank: CCTV
_______ been used for many years for the surveillance of public areas
associated with obvious risk.
A is
B are
C has
D have
A2. The use of "has" as the auxiliary verb in this sentence is appropriate because
it indicates an action that started in the past and continues into the present.
The phrase "for many years" suggests a duration of time, indicating that the use
of CCTV for surveillance has been ongoing.
The auxiliary verb "has" is used with the third-person singular subject "CCTV" to
form the present perfect tense, which is suitable for describing an action that
began in the past and has a connection to the present.
The correct option is C.
Q3. Identify the appropriate direct speech form of the following sentence: He
greeted me and asked where I was going.
1. He asks, "Hello, where are you going?"
2. He asked, "Hello, where you are going?"
3. He said, "Hello, where you are going.."
4. He said, "Hello! Where are you going?"
A 1
B 2
C 3
D 4

A3. Option A: In this sentence, the word 'Hello' should be followed by an
exclamation mark since it is used to attract someone's attention. This statement
is grammatically wrong.
Sumit Sir Option B: In direct speech, when we report someone's words, we should maintain
the correct verb tense and word order. In this case, the reported question "Where
you are going" should follow the standard subject-verb order, which is "Where are
you going?" Thus, this statement is also grammatically wrong.
Option C: As the question asked is not followed by a question mark, this
statement is not correct.
Option D: Since this statement is grammatically correct and represents the exact
words spoken by someone, this is the correct option.
The correct option is D.

capitalists.
While the other options mentioned are also important in the context of
entrepreneurship and business growth, they are not specifically related to the
initial financing stage.
