92: Ratio of days = 40 : 60 = 2 : 3

Ratio of efficiency = 3 : 2
Thus, ratio of wages = 3 : 2
Hence, (b)
93: Number of numbers from 1 to 1000 which are multiples of 7 = 1000/7 = 142
Hence, (c)

94: Non defective oranges = 40

Probability of picking a non defective orange = 40/50 = 4/5
Hence, (a)

95: Correct average = 34 + (30-25)/10 = 34.5

Hence, (a)

96: Volume of the cube of its length  a3= 64 , thus , a = 4 .

Surface area of a cube = 6 a2= 6(4)2 = 6 × 16 = 96 sq. units. Hence, (b)

97: For a triangle to exist, sum of any two sides should always be greater than the third side.
Hence, (c)

98: If the numbers are 5x and 4x, (5x)2 – (4x)2 = 488

 25x2 – 16x2 = 36  9x2 = 36
 x2 = 4  x = 2
 The numbers are 10 and 8. Hence, (b)

99: 80 litres contains 50 litres alcohol & 30 litres water. When 10 litres water is added, then
total water will be 40 litres
Now, water : alcohol = 40 : 50 = 4 : 5
Hence, (b)

100: Since, 2 is a root, therefore, 22 – 5(2) + b = 0 i.e. b = 6

Hence, (d)

101: Time taken to meet = 450/ (25+20) = 10 hours

Distance = 25 x 10 = 250 kms

Hence, (b)

102: Since speed becomes 2/3rd, thus time becomes 3/2 times itself i.e. time increases by 1/2
i.e. ½t = 15 mins (or) t = 30 minutes
Hence, (b)

103: Let CP = 100, then MP = 120

Discount (max) = 20
Dis% = (20/120) x 100 = 16.66%
Hence, (c)

104: We can use options and check which satisfies the given equation or even the given
condition. Option (a) would satisfy. Hence, (a)

105: Let Rohit’s & Shobhit age after 10 years be 5x and 4x. Thus, their present age is 5x -10
& 4x – 10

Now, (5x -10) - (4x -10) = 6 i.e. x = 6

Present age of Rohit = 5 x 6 – 10 = 20 years

Hence, (a)

106: Average speed = 2 x 40x 50/(40+50) = 400/9 kmph

Hence, (c)

107: If CP = Rs 100, then SP = 110

Now, when CP = 90 gain is 20% i.e. SP = 108
i.e. therefore the SP decreases by Rs 2
Here Rs 2 represents Rs 20 i.e. Rs 1 represents 10
Thus, CP = Rs 100 x 10 = Rs 1000
Hence, (c)

108: In this case, Volume of sphere = Volume of cylinder. Thus, , where h is

the height of the cylinder. Solving we get, h =20/3 = 6.66 cms. Hence, (b)

109: 100 ! is the product of natural numbers from 1 to 100. Thus, we simply need to check
the largest prime number till 100, as prime number beyond that cannot divide 100!, because
of their unavailability in the number. So, 97 is largest prime before 100. Hence, (b)

110: DANCE has 5 letters and thus can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways. Thus, number of re-
arrangements = 120 – 1 = 119 ways

Hence, (c)

(166) (d) None follows. I is a generalisation while the statement is a specific case. II. The
statement does not link higher education as a need for development of career in sports.
Also, it cannot be assumed that the applicant is still playing the sport.
(167) (c) Both follow. “Buy only…” is based on the assumption that there are other water
purifiers in the market. The appeal for buying Dent water purifiers is based on the fact of
it being the oldest on the market, assuming that being older indicates better quality than
that of the new products in the market.
(168) (a) Only I follows. An advertisement for vacancies would want more people to apply
and hence would assume that prospective employees would prefer a non-discriminating
employer. The statement mentions only opportunity and hence assumption about salary
has not been made.
(169) (b) I does not follow as the statement does not mention money, cost etc. II follows as
the mother leaves the decision to Anu assuming she will be able to take a decision.
(170) (b) I does not follow as the instruction is only for getting the work on time. II follows
as in instructing to put more people on the job assumes that the move will result in the
stadium getting ready on time.
(171) (b) II is an important outcome from e-commerce website and hence can be concluded.
I is a general conclusion from a specific example and hence does not follow.
(172) (d) None follows. The statement is a finding of a study and no conclusion about the
cause can be made with certainty.
(173) (b) I cannot be concluded as the recommendation may be based on the presence of
other nutrients as well. II can be concluded since recommendations need to be such that
they can be easily implemented.
(174) (b) Conclusion I is a generalisation based on a specific example hence does not
follow. Since the statement says that the plant can be easily cultivated in arid regions, it
can be concluded that it requires little water.
(175) (d) I cannot be concluded since only the poor cannot buy toor dal now. The statement
is only about the increasing price of toor dal and hence no conclusion about it being
widely consumed by the poor can be drawn.
(176) (c)
(177) (c). EITHER P OR Q implies 1. ~p,q and 2. ~q,p.
(178) (d)
(179) (a) The conclusions can be drawn from the statement: (a) if Raju studies hard he will
get selected for CLAT and (b) if he has not been selected for CLAT he must not have
studied (hard).

182: The series is consecutive cubes starting from 5. Missing term = 83 = 512
Hence, (b)

183: C arrived after A. A arrived after D. D arrived after B. Thus, B arrived first. Hence, (b)

184: Dolly is adjacent to Asha and Babita and Charu is right of Asha, thus Asha is right and
Babita left to Dolly. The arrangements can be as follows-
Babita Dolly Asha Charu Ema (or) Ema Babita Dolly Asha Charu
So, either Asha or Dolly can be in middle. Hence, (d)

185: According to conditions, A is immediately between C and E, so it could be CAE or EAC

( from top to bottom). But C stays immediately below F and on the 5th floor from bottom(2nd
from top). So, the arrangement is FCAEDB in descending order as B is on 1st floor. Now, the
family immediately above D is E. Hence, (b)

186: Only option (c) doesn’t satisfy the code conditions. The square root of 99 will be less
than 10. Thus, this option is not possible. Hence, (c)

187: The number 30 doesn’t satisfy condition (ii) as it is not a multiple of 8 after 29. The
number 19 and 23 doesn’t satisfy condition (iii) as it is not a multiple of 10 below 30. The
number 32 satisfies all the conditions. Hence, (b)

188: In this language A = 1, B=2 i.e . code is the position of alphabet in English alphabetic
order. So, G=7, A=1,T=20, E=5. Hence, (b)

189: The colour of the sky is blue which is coded as White. Hence, (b)

190: With the following conditions the following combination of teams is possible –
(A, B, Q) or (A,C, P) or (A, C, Q) or (B, C, Q). Thus, there are four ways to select. Hence, (a)

191: Sumitra’s mother’s father is Sumitra’s maternal grandfather. Maternal grandfather’s

daughter-in-law is Sumitra’s maternal aunt. Maternal aunt’s daughter is Sumitra’s cousin.
Hence, (b)

these dates. Hence, (d)

193: Arvind is 10th from right. This means there are 9 boys to his right. He is 5th from left.
This means there are 4 boys to the left. Total boys present = 9+ 4 + 1 = 14. Thus 15 boys
should is added to make it 25. Hence, (c)

194: The diagrammatic representation is as follows-

B A

C
Since, D is south of A, so D can lie between A and C (or) below C or exactly at C. Thus, the
direction of D w.r.t C is not certain. Hence, (d)

195: The diagrammatic representation is as follows-

6km
D E

8km

C B
6km

10km

Thus, the distance between AE = 10 + 8 = 18 kms. Hence, (b)
