11. Read the passage and answer that follow on the basis of instruction
provided in the passage PASSAGE Courage is not only the basis of virtue; it
is its expression. faith, hope, charity and all the rest don’t become virtues until
it takes courage to exercise them. There are roughly two types of courage.
The first an emotional state which urges a man to risk injury or death is
physical courage.
The second, more reasoning attitude which enables him to take coolly his
career, happiness, his whole future or his judgement of what he thinks either
right or worthwhile,
is moral courage. I have known many men, who had marked physical
courage, but lacked moral courage. Some of them were in high places,
but they failed to be great in themselves because they lacked moral courage.
On the other hand I have seen men who undoubtedly possessed moral
courage
but were very cautious about taking physical risks. But I have never met a
man with moral courage who couldn’t, when it was really necessary, face a
situation boldly. A man of courage is

19. 729 ml of a mixture contains milk and water in ratio 7:2. How much of
the water is to be added to get a new mixture containing half milk and
half water?

1. 162
2. 405
3. 81
4. 567

Answer: 2

Solution:
The quantity of milk in the mixture i = 7/(7+2) X 729 = 7/9 X 729 = 567mL
The quantity of water then shall be 729 – 567 = 162mL If the final mixture
would contain half milk and half water, there must be an equal quantity of
both.
So in order to make up for water, we’ll need to add 567mL – 162mL= 405mL
of water

20.If one-seventh of a number exceeds its eleventh part by 100 then the
number is”¦

1. 770
2. 1100
3. 1825
4. 1925

Answer: 4

Solution:
Let the number be x. Then X/7 – x/11 =100 11x-7x = 7700 x=1925.

21. If 1.5x=0.04y then the value of (y-x)/(y+x) is

 1. 730/77
2. 73/77
3. 7.3/77
4. None

Answer: 2

Solution:
x/y = 0.04/1.5 = 2/75 So (y-x)/(y+x) = (1 – x/y)/(1 + x/y) = (1 – 2/75)/ (1 + 2/75)
= 73/77.

22. The smallest number which when diminished by 3 is divisible by

Answer: 4

Solution:
The required number = l.c.m. of (21,28,36 ,45)+3=1263

is divisible by 80, then x+y is equal to:

1. 2
2. 3
3. 4
4. 6

Answer: 4
Solution:
Since 653xy is divisible by 2 as well as by 5, so y = 0 Now 653×0 is divisible
by 8 so 3×0 is also divisible by 8. By hit and trial x=6 and x+y = 6

28. A 20-liter solution contains oil and kerosene in the ratio 3:5, replace 4
liters of a mixture with 4 liters of kerosene what will be the ratio of oil
and kerosene?

1. 1/7
2. 3/7
3. 1/6
4. 1/8

Answer: 2

Solution:
When 4 liters are taken out of 20l, amount of oil in remaining 16 lt = 3/8 * 16 =
6 Hence the remaining 10 liters
would be kerosene Now additional 4 liters of kerosene is added to the solution
So the total quantity of kerosene = 14 liters Ratio of oil: kerosene = 6/14 = 3/7.

2. Here are some words translated from an artificial language.

do not means oak tree
blyonot means oak leaf
blycrin means maple leaf
Which word could mean “maple syrup”?

1. blymuth
2. hupponot
3. patricrin
4. crinweel

Answer: Option 3

Solution:
In this language, the adjective follows the noun. From dionot and blyonot, you
can determine that onot means oak. From blyonot and blycrin, you can
determine that bly means leaf. Therefore, crin means maple. Because the
adjective maple comes after the noun, patricrin is the only possible choice.

mallontifl means blueberry
arpantifl means raspberry
Which word could mean “lighthouse”?

1. tiflmallon
2. pimlarpan
3. mallonarpan
4. pimldoken

Answer: Option 4

Solution:
Mallon means blue; piml means light; tifl means berry; and arpan means
“rasp” in raspberry. The word piml, which means light, is required for the word
lighthouse. That rules out choices a and c. Arpan in choice b means “rasp,” so
that rules out choice b. That leaves choice d the only possible answer.

10. Applying for Seasonal Employment occurs when a person requests to be

considered for a job that is dependent on a particular season or time of year.
Which situation below is the best example of Applying for Seasonal
Employment?

1. The ski instructors at Top of the Peak Ski School work from December
through March.
2. Matthew prefers jobs that allow him to work outdoors.
 3. Lucinda makes an appointment with the beach resort restaurant
manager to interview for the summer waitressing position that was
advertised in the newspaper.
4. Doug’s ice cream shop stays open until 11 p.m. during the summer
months.

Answer: Option 3

Solution:
Although the ski instructors at Top of the Peak Ski School do work seasonally,
choice a does not describe anyone applying for seasonal employment. In
choice b, the statement that Matthew likes to work outdoors tells us nothing
about seasonal employment or someone applying for it. And although choice
d describes a business with seasonal hours, it does not describe a person
applying for seasonal work. Choice c, on the other hand, very specifically
depicts a person, Lucinda, who is applying for a job as a summer waitress at a
beach resort, which is dependent upon a particular season of the year.

out using the expression ‘are likelier than’.

15. Compared to most other diseases, in which bacteria or parasites

take over the body, in cancer, the forces to destruct is more close to be
entwined with the fundamental mechanisms of life?

1. of destructing is mostly to be
2. of destruction is more close and
3. in destruction are most close to be
4. of destruction are more closely

Answer: Option 4

Solution:
It is ‘the forces of destruction’ or ‘the forces causing destruction’. These ‘forces
are more closely’. Forces is plural and hence ‘are’ has to replace ‘is’. They
‘are closely entwined with’ something. Hence the correction is ‘forces of
destruction are more closely entwined’ the use of the phrase ‘close to be
entwined’ is absurd.
