Detailed Solutions:
1.

Serendipity means an aptitude for making desirable

discoveries by accident. It refers to good luck by
chance.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

2.

Lambent means softly bright or radiant.

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

3.

Prestidigitator means sleight of hand; performance

of magic tricks with the hands. A conjuror is one who
practices sleight of hand.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

4.

The passage mentions, I came to class well-armed

with my philosophical principles. This would imply
that the author is a philosopher and he would
approach the discipline of ethics from the perspective
of a philosopher.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

5.

The passage does not describe a single seminar in

great detail. Therefore option 1 can be eliminated.
The passage mentions ethics in business- not
particularly international business. Therefore we can
eliminate option 4.
It is a close choice between options 2 and 3. Option 3
wins because the passage mentions the practice of
ethics, not just its principles. Further, the passage tries
to do a balancing act between the principles and
practice of ethics in much of the passage.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

6.

Criticise means to censure or find fault with, while

fulminate means vehement denunciation. The
difference is in degree with the first word being milder
as compared to the second, which is stronger.
Assuage, meaning to calm down, and tease are
antonyms and can be eliminated.
Flail meaning to behave wildly is an antonym of
control.
Laud means to praise while prevaricate means to
mislead.
Hurt is a milder term for torture which means to
hurt grievously or severely.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

8.

A ballad is a poetic song or in other words it is a

type of poetry.
Similarly, a snake is a type of reptile.
A bulb is not a type of tubelight while in option 3 a
reptile is not a form of snake.
Life and death do not exhibit a similar relationship to
the capitalized pair.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

9.

Up the apples and pears means up the stairs.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

10. Jot or tittle means a trifle or a tiny amount.

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
11. The word skittish means shy.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
12. The words all and none are too broad and
generalized. Therefore, options 1, 3 and 4 can be
eliminated.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

Since the author is a Philosopher, he is likely to believe

in the principle of universal ethics. Lines 4-7 of the
passage detail how Tom convinced the author to
change his views on ethics. Further, the author came to
realise that there were a lot of disagreements about
ethics among different professions; eg social scientist
or lawyer. This was contrary to his philosopher's views
of ethics being universal.
Options 1 and 2 cannot be differentiated from each
other and can be eliminated.
Option 3 is contrary to the explanation given above.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

13. In passive voice, the subject of a sentence receives an

action, that is, the action is done to the subject.
Option 1 is incorrect since it repeats the active voice of
the given statement.
Option 3 is also in the active voice and is therefore
incorrect.
Option 4 incorrectly compares the area with the people
(the whole area is more wild than the people).
Option 2 states that the action was done to the subject
(understood by the people).

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

14. Rule of thumb as an idiom means a means of

estimation made according to a rough and ready
practical rule, not based on science or exact
measurement. Therefore, the term refers to rules
based on practice.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

21. Throughout the passage, the author contradicts

Buchanans claims- However, contrary to both
standard theological interpretation and Buchanan's
claims, I argue that... and ... in direct contrast to
Buchanans claims.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

15. The first line introduces the topic of the passage the
motivations for agents unwillingness to deviate from
their recent choices. This is in consonance with option
4.
Option 1 although correct, is incomplete, since the
biases are not simply enumerated (listed); rather they
are explained with reference to the preference for
recent choices.
Option 2 is incorrect since it does not reflect the entire
passage.
Option 3 is incorrect since the passage does not
mention any hierarchy.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

22. Buchanans social conflict theory begins with social

conflict or Hobbesian anarchy as the starting point. The
contractual constitutional economics is also connected
with Hobbesian anarchists. Combine that with Old
testament making an attempt to model Hobbesian
Anarchy and we get that Buchanans constitutional
economics and contractarian constitutional economics
have a similar underlying theme.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
23. Buchanans
constitutional
economics
and
contractarian constitutional economics have a similar
underlying theme. Buchanan argues that social
contract is needed to resolve predicament of social
conflict.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

16. The phrase one of the has to be followed by the

plural noun, choices. This eliminates options 2 and 4.
Since the passage talks about the choices of agents
(plural), it is the agents choices. Option 3 is incorrect
since it implies the choices of a single agent.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

24. Godly authority give rise to social contracts or laws

and challenging them will lead to social conflict.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
25. Option 2 is eliminated because of cannot tell.
Reported speeches are usually in the past tense.
Option 3 distorts the meaning of the conversation,
rendering it incorrect.
Option 4 is incorrect because of if when.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

17. The word definitely has been incorrectly spelt as

definately in option 4.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
18. Statement ii introduces the topic of setting up an
investigative committee to examine the content of
national television. Option 4 can be eliminated.
Statement iv has to follow, since it refers to the
committee mentioned in statement ii. Option 1 can be
eliminated.
Statement i refers to that film mentioned in statement
iv. Therefore, statement I has to follow statement iv.
Option 2 can be eliminated.
Statement iii mentions the cartoon version of another
film which was also criticised. Therefore, it follows the
iv-i link.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

26. The appropriate word for the first blank can only be
confined. Eliminate options 2 and 3.
For the last blank, claimed is far more appropriate
than punished. Claimed several young lives is more
correct than punished several young lives. Eliminate
option 1.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
27. It is perhaps a tribute requires an explanation of
what the it refers to. The words, while and whereas
do not provide such an explanation and are therefore
incorrect. This eliminates options 1 and 2.
Option 4 does not have subject-verb agreement, since
the verb calls requires a singular noun some of the
generals call (not calls) him.
Option 3 is grammatically correct, since one of the
generals calls him.

19. Faineant means idle; indolent. The word opposite in

meaning is active.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
20. Immure means enclose within walls; to imprison.
The opposite of immure is free.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Since, no one gets off at either of the stations 5 or 6,

Quan gets off at station 4. Hence, Omez must get off at
station 3 along with Parul.
Hence, option 4.

28. Options 3 and 4 can be eliminated since they would

result in tense inconsistency.
Option 1 can be eliminated because of more
important. The sentence states that literary works
were not important, therefore, the word more is
superfluous.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

36. Parul always gets off at station 3. If Nimisha also gets

off at 3, Omez cannot get off on station 3 as and not
more than two people can get off at the same station.
Hence, Omez must get off at station 5.
Hence, option 2.

29. Subtilize means to elevate in character; sublimate.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

37. Consider I.
Since Parul always gets off on station 3, the given
condition is not possible.

www.TestFunda.com

JMET 2011
came after midnight or there was one person who
came before midnight and one who came after
midnight.
From 4, neither Aditya nor Vijay arrived after
midnight. So there is only one person who came after
midnight. He has to be Puneet. It follows that one of the
three arrived before midnight.
So we have the following.
Before Midnight
At Midnight
After Midnight

As Sridhars project was in HRM, his presentation can

be 2nd or 3rd.
Prof. Boses students presentation was after Prof
Chandrashekharans students presentation. So Prof.

this set, Prof. Deshpandes area of expertise is Systems.
Hence, option 3.

44. Each match has 4 points. Each team plays 4 matches.

There are 10 matches in all and there are 40 points in
all.
Paraguay wins all matches. So it scores 3 4 = 12
points.
Turkey loses all matches. So it scores 1 4 = 4 points.
16 points are scored by Turkey and Paraguay.
The other teams score 40 16 = 24 points.
As all other teams score equal points, each team scores
24/3 = 8 points.
Hence, option 3.

48. From the table in the answer to the first question of

this set, Qadir completed his project under Prof.Boses
supervision.
Hence, option 1.
49. If Prakash wants to make reservations on May 5 for the

51. Deepika, Vivek and Chetan are siblings. Deepika is

Hannahs mother and Nilesh is hannahs and gauris
father. Thus Deepika and Nilesh are married.
Ishita
is
Rohinis
daughter
and
Ashimas
granddaughter. Also Rohini is Anils daughter-in-law.
Since Chetan is unmarried, we can say that Vivek is
married to Rohini and has a daughter Ishita and a son
Elesh.

Charlie

John

Bobby

Anderson

David

Thus, Bobby belongs to Spain.

Hence, option 4.
58. From the table in the answer to the first question of
this set, Charlie plays cricket.
Hence, option 2.

Hence, the final family tree can be represented as

follows.

59. From the table in the answer to the first question of

this set, Johns country is Australia and he plays Tennis.
Hence, option 3.
60. Bobby belongs to Spain as seen from the table in the
answer to the first question of this set. As Charlie and
John play Cricket and Tennis respectively, Bobby has to
play Polo.
Thus option 4 is correct.
Hence, option 4.

Hence, Vivek is married to Rohini.

Hence, option 4.
52. Deepika is Anils daughter.
Hence, option 4.

Considering the monthly demands of P, Q and R, we
have the following constraints
50X + 60Y 2500
100X + 60Y 3000
100X + 200Y 7000
X and Y are 0 and are integers.
Hence, option 3.

Hence, option 2.
56. Option 1 with always cannot be accommodated
Options 2 and 4 are inferences they are highly likely
to be true in the light of the given data but are not
definitely true.
Option 3 with higher chances helps us accommodate
it as a logical deduction.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
57. Charlie belongs either to the UK or Spain. So he does
not belong to the US, Australia or France. David
belongs to USA and plays Football. So no one else plays
football or is from the USA. Continuing thus we can
tabulate the data in the question as follows:

= Total number of ways in which 4 members can be
selected. (number of ways of not including any
opposition member)
= 11C4 6C4
= 330 15 = 315
Hence, option 2.

The feasible region gives us the following vertices :

Substituting the values of X and Y in Z we get the

minimum operating cost at (20, 25) and is 137500.
Hence, option 1.

70. There are only two prime between 490 and 500,
namely 491 and 499.
Hence, option 2.

63. Expected demand = 0.2 1500 + 0.1 1200 + 0.15

1600 + 0.25 1400 + 0.2 1600 +
0.06 1000 + 0.04 1500

Speed of the Swift = 380/4.75 = 80 km/hr
Hence, option 4.
72. Let the length of the table be n
Width of the table = n 4
Now,
Area of rectangle table = n(n 4) = n2 4n = 45
n2 4n 45 = 0
n = 9 or n = 5
As length cannot be negative, hence length n = 9
Hence, option 1.

Hence, option 4.
65. Let the PIN be x. As the credit card number is 996,

73. Let the fruit vendor sell x gm instead of 1000 gm.

Thus, (996x 123)is divisible by 997.

997x x 123 is divisible by 997.
x + 123 is divisible by 997.
x = 997 123 = 874
Hence, option 1.

As he gains 30%, 1.3x = 1000

Hence, option 3.

87. Let us assume that Mahesh stayed with Akash for n
days.
Hence, the number of mornings + the number of
evenings = 2n
But the total number of evenings and mornings
= 32 + 18 + 28 = 78
2n = 78

We now, substitute the values given in the options.

Option 1: Perimeter = 6,
a=2
Substituting a = 2,
We get,
d2 = 11
Hence, option 1 is not possible.

Hence, option 3.
88. K is the 11th letter of the alphabet.
Hence K is denoted by the remainder obtained after
dividing 210 by 29

Option 3: Perimeter = 12,

a=4
Substituting a = 4,
We get, d2 = 1
Also, (i) is satisfied.
This is possible

25 leaves a remainder of 3 when divided by 29.

Hence, remainder when 210 is divided by 29 = 3 3 = 9
Hence, K = 9
Hence, option 4.

Option 2: Perimeter = 24,

Hence, a = 8
Substituting a = 8, we get
d 3.9
Also, (i) is satisfied.
This is possible.

89. 5a = 5m + 10n 15r

2b = 4m + 12n 22r

Hence, 5a 2b c = 0 for the given equations to have at
least 1 solution.
Hence, option 3.

Option 4: Perimeter = 36,

a = 12
Substituting, a = 12, we get
d 5.9
Also, (i) is satisfied.
This is possible.

It has decreased for both females and males.
Hence, option 1.

Hence, option 1.
99. Number of male students with more than 3 years
experience in RMBA and EMBA = 110
Number of female students with 3 years and lesser
experience in EMBA and DMBA = 110
Required difference = 0
Hence, option 1.

93. The information has been given in terms of percentage.

The absolute number of females and males in any
group cannot be determined.
Hence, option 4.
94. Number of students with HUM background in CAT
stream admissions in NIM
= 0.25 60 = 15
Number of students with HUM background in JMET
stream admissions in NIM
= 0.1 240 = 24

Hence, option 4.
95. Total number of students in NIM with SCI and ENGG
background
= 0.45 60 + 0.7 240 = 195
Total number of students in NIM with non-SCI and
non-ENGG background
= 0.55 60 + 0.3 240 = 105
Difference = 195 105 = 90
Hence, option 2.
96. Number of students with COM discipline in NIM from
JMET stream = 0.2 240 = 48
Number of students with COM discipline in NIM from
CAT stream = 0.3 60 = 18

100. All candidates wrote all 4 sections

Total number of candidates who appeared for the
Civil Services Exam = Sum of number of students who
got marks from 0 to 100 in any 1 subject.
Consider History:
Number of students
= 1520 + 9150 + 9210 + 13135 + 10785 + 8210 + 2990
= 55000
Hence, option 2.
101. A student will qualify if he/she scores more than 40
Number of students qualifying in History
= 13135 + 10785 + 8210 + 2990
= 35120
number of students qualifying in Political Science
=14215 + 9590 + 5750 + 5145
= 34700

Hence, option 2.
102. The Modal range is the range in which most students
scored.
The range of 41 55 is the modal range for all subjects
Largest number of candidates got marks in the range

Bihar

104. From the table obtained in the first solution the

difference of actual duration of a subproject and that of
its immediate predecessor is as follows:
UTS SIG = 25 20 = 5
FSS UTS = 25 18 = 7
RSS FSS = 14
The difference is less than 9 months for 2
subprojects.
Hence, option 2.
105. The largest subproject is RSS and its immediate
predecessor is FSS.
Actual time taken by RSS = 32 months
Actual time taken by FSS = 18 months

Hence, option 1.

Option 2: For it to remain the same, the funds utilized

in 2006-07 should be xy. This is possible only if y
changes to y/1.1 = 0.9y, to compensate for the change
in x from x to 1.1x. We can easily see that y has not
decreased by 10% in any of the states.
Option 3: For a 10% decrease, the funds utilized in
2006-07 should be 0.9xy. This is possible only if y
changes to 0.9y/1.1 = 0.8y, to compensate for the
change in x. Again, we know that y has not decreased
by 20% in any of the states.
So, options 1, 2 and 3 are eliminated.
Hence, option 4.

106. For each of the four states we can see that the amount
available has increased by approximately 10% in
2006-07 over 2005-06. So, if the amount available for a
state in 2005-06 is x, it becomes 1.1x in 2006-07.
Let the percentage funds utilized in a state be y in
2005-06.
Funds utilized in 2005-06 = xy
Now consider options.
Option 1: For a 10% increase, the funds utilized in
2006-07 should be 1.1xy, which is not true, as x has
changed to 1.1x, but y has decreased.

109. The size of the bar of patented drugs should be more
than 1/3 the size of the bar of generic medicines. By
observing the graph for the years given in options, we
can easily see that this happens only in 2005.
Hence, option 3.
110. We just have to look at the proportion of growth in the
R & D investment bars. We can easily see that the size
of the bar has almost doubled in 2009. In no other year
has it shown so much increase.
Hence, option 4.
111. Sales from Generic medicines show a decline in the
years 2005 and 2007.
Sales from Patented drugs show a decline in the years
2004 and 2006.
R & D investments have not shown a decline in the
given period.
Hence, there are four years during which sales from
generic medicines or sales from the patented drugs or
sales from R & D investment have shown a decline.
Hence, option 1.

112. Sales from generic medicines have shown negative
growth in the years 2005 and 2007. In both these years
sales from patented drugs register positive growth.
Hence, option 3.

113. This question can be solved just by observing the

graph. The size of Koreas exports bar is twice that of
Italy.
Hence, option 1.
114. The difference between imports is minimum for Korea
and Italy followed by Germany and Saudi Arab.

The data can be represented as in the diagram above.
The number of students who got offers only from
Finance = 70 (20 x) x (10 x) = 40 + x
The number of students who got offers only from
Marketng = 40 (20 x) x (15 x) = 5 + x
The number of students who got offers only from HR =
30 (10 x) x (15 x) = 5 + x
As the total number of students is 100,
70 + 5 + x + 15 x + 5 + x = 100
x=5
Number of students who received offers from 2 areas
= 15 + 5 + 10 = 30
Hence, option 3.

Operating expenses have shown the maximum

change from 2008-2009 to 2009-2010 in terms of
rupees.
Hence, option 1.
116. From the table in the solution to the first question, iIn
the year 2009-10, the difference between the amount
spent on operating expenses and CSR programs (in
million rupees) = 337.5 37.5 = 300
Hence, option 3.
117. Looking at the percentage distributions in the poie
chart we can easily see that only option 2 is true.
Hence, option 2.
