1. c. It is by definition.
2. a. It is by definition.
4. Su of the roots α+β = and product of the roots αβ = . The other options are
true on simple algebra.
6. d. = and = . Hence .
13. b.
. Hence Inverse of A = .
Statistics
17. a. Make use the formula for sum of positive integers from 1 to n.
18. b. There are 11 numbers. When arranged in increasing order 9 is the middle most
number. The median of the numbers below 9 is 5. Hence, Q 1=5. Similarly Q3=18. Thus
the interquartile range is: Q3 - Q1= 18-5=13.
19. c.
24. c. Let , and be the events that the vehicle involved was a scooter, a car and a truck,
respectively. These events are disjoint. Further, , and
. The required probability is
25. a. . Thus
26. d. The correlation coefficient is = -1/2 (since the regression
coefficients are negative.)
Data Interpretation
27. c. 43/201 from 1999-00 is the highest ratio.
29. a. 105/106= 99.06% for the year 1997-98 is the highest cost percentage.
34. b. 42.8% = 837.5/ 1956, where 1956= 1630*1.2 and 837.5 = 670*1.25, where 1630 is
the number of total present soap users and 670 is the number of present Lux users.
36. b. Percentage of past Liril users of present total soap users is 500/1630 = 30.67%.
Percentage of present Liril users of present total soap users = 465/1630 = 28.53%.
37. a.
39. a.
Lux has the largest share, so option b is wrong. Nivea has the second largest share, so c
is eliminated. Options a and d are consistent with these two facts. The number of users
of Dove and Nivea are comparable, while these two numbers are smaller than the
number of non-users of soap. Only option a correctly represents this fact.

Logical Reasoning
64. d. The only daughter of Priyanka's father is Priyanka herself. So, Sachin's mother is
Priyanka. Thus, Priyanka's husband is the father of Sachin.
65. a.
66. b. The watch gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes => 100 seconds in 1 hour. From 8 AM to 10
PM on the same day, time passed is 14 hours. In 14 hours, the watch would have gained
1400 seconds or 23 minutes 20 seconds. So, when the correct time is 10 PM, the watch
would show 10:23:20 PM.
67. c.
68. d. Each day of the week is repeated after 7 days. So, after 63 days, it will be Monday.
After 61 days, it will be Saturday.

70. b.
If you assume that neither wins the collection, then Statements of X and Y become
wrong, which goes against our condition.
Assume NDA wins the election. Now Statements of X and Y are true. This satisfies our
condition that two of them tell the truth. So NDA wins the election.
