Directions for Questions to 5: The passage given below is followed by a set of
five questions Choose the most appropriate answer to each question
A remarkable aspect of art of the present century is the range of concepts and ideologies
which it embodies. It is almost tempting to see a pattern emerging within the art field - or
alternatively imposed upon it a posteriori - similar to that which exists under the umbrella
of science where the general term covers a whole range of separate, though
interconnecting, activities. Any parallelism is however - in this instance at least -
misleading. A scientific discipline develops systematically once its bare tenets have been
established, named and categorized as conventions. Many of the concepts of modern art, by
contrast, have resulted from the almost accidental meetings of groups of talented
individuals at certain times and certain places. The ideas generated by these chance
meetings had two - fold consequences. Firstly, a corpus of work would be produced which,
in great part, remains as a concrete record of the events. Secondly, the ideas would
themselves be disseminated through many different channels of communication - seeds
that often bore fruit in contexts far removed from their generation. Not all movements were
exclusively concerned with innovation. Surrealism, for instance, claimed to embody a kind
of insight which can be present in the art of any period. This claim has been generally
accepted so that a sixteenth century painting by Spranger or a mysterious photograph by
Atget can legitimately be discussed in surrealist terms. Briefly, then, the concepts of
modern art are of many different (often fundamentally different) kinds and resulted from
the exposures of painters, sculptors and thinkers to the more complex phenomena of the
twentieth century, including our ever increasing knowledge of the thought and products of
earlier centuries. Different groups of artists would collaborate in trying to make sense of
rapidly changing world of visual and spiritual experience. We should hardly be surprised if
no one group succeeded completely, but achievements, through relative, have been
considerable. Landmarks have been established - concrete statements of position which
give a pattern to a situation which could easily have degenerated into total chaos. Beyond
this, new language tools have been created for those who follow - semantic systems which
can provide a springboard for further explorations.

The codifying of art is often criticized. Certainly one can understand that artists are wary of
being pigeon- holed since they are apt to think of themselves as individuals - sometimes
with good reason. The notion of self-expression, however, no longer carries quite the weight
it once did; objectivity has its defenders. There is good reason to accept the ideas codified
by artists and critics, over the past sixty years or so, as having attained the status of
independent existence - an independence which is not without its own value. This time
factor is important here. As an art movement slips into temporal perspective, it ceases to be
a living organism - becoming, rather, a fossil. This is not to say it becomes useless or
uninteresting. Just as a scientist can reconstruct the life of a prehistoric environment from
the messages codified into the structure of a fossil, so can an artist decipher whole webs of
intellectual and creative possibility from the recorded structure of a `dead art movement.
The artist can match the creative patterns crystallized into this structure against the
potentials and possibilities of his own time. AS T.S Eliot observed, no one starts anything
from scratch; however consciously you may try to live in the present, you are still involved
with a nexus of behaviour patterns bequeathed from the past. The original and creative
person is not someone who ignores these patterns, but someone who is able to translate
and develop them so that they confirm more exactly to his - and our - present needs.
1. Many of the concepts of modern art have been the product of
(1) ideas generated from planned deliberations between artists, painters and thinkers.
(2) the dissemination of ideas through the state and its organizations.
(3) accidental interactions among people blessed with creative muse.
(4) patronage by the rich and powerful that supported art
(5) systematic investigation, codification and conventions.
Ans 3
2. In the passage, the word `fossil can be interpreted as
(1) an art movement that has ceased to remain interesting or useful.
(2) an analogy from the physical world to indicate a historic art movement.
(3) an analogy from the physical world to indicate the barrenness of artistic creations in the
past.
(4) an embedded codification of pre-historic life.
(5) an analogy from the physical world to indicate the passing of an era associated with an
art movement.
Ans 5
3. In the passage, which of the following similarities between science and art may lead to
erroneous conclusions?
(1) Both, in general, include a gamut of distinct but interconnecting activities.
(2) Both have movements not necessarily concerned with innovation.
(3) Both depend on collaborations between talented individuals.
(4) Both involve abstract thought and dissemination of ideas.
(5) Both reflect complex priorities of the modern world.
Ans

4. The range of concepts and ideologies embodied in the art of the twentieth century is
explained by
(1) the existence of movements such as surrealism.
(2) landmarks which give a pattern to the art history of the twentieth century.
(3) new language tools which can be used for further explorations into new areas.
(4) the fast changing world of perceptual and transcendental understandings.
(5) the quick exchange of ideas and concepts enabled by efficient technology.
Ans 4
5. The passage uses an observation by T.S. Eliot to imply that
(1) creative processes are not òriginal because they always borrow from the past.
(2) we always carry forward the legacy of the past.
(3) past behaviours and thought processes recreate themselves in the present and get
labeled as òriginalorcreative.
(4) òriginality can only thrive in a `green house insulated from the past biases.
(5) ìnnovations and òriginal thinking interpret and develop on past thoughts to suit
contemporary needs.

To those who do listen, the desert speaks of things with an emphasis quite different from
that of the shore, the mountain, the valley or the plains, whereas these invite action and
suggest limitless opportunity and exhaust less resources, the implications and the mood of
the desert are something different. For one thing , the desert is conservative not radical. It
is more likely to provide awe than to invite conquest. The heroism which it encourages is
the heroism of endurance, not that of conquest. It brings man up against this limitation,
turns him upon himself and suggests values which more indulgent regions suppress.

Directions for Questions to 5 The passage given below is followed by a set of
five questions Choose the most appropriate answer to each question
When I was little, children were bought two kinds of ice cream, sold from those white
wagons with the canopies made of silvery metal: either the two-cent cone or the four-cent
ice cream pie. The two-cent cone was very small, in fact it could fit comfortably into a
childs hand, and it was made by taking the ice cream from its container with a special
scoop and piling it on the cone. Granny always suggested I eat only a part of the cone, then
throw away the pointed end, because it had been touched by the vendors hand (though
that was the best part, nice and crunchy, and it was regularly eaten in secret, after a
pretense of discarding it).

The four-cent pie was made by a special little machine, also silvery, which pressed two disks
of sweet biscuit against a cylindrical section of ice cream. First you had to thrust your
tongue into the gap between the biscuits until it touched the central nucleus of ice cream;
then, gradually, you ate the whole thing, the biscuit surfaces softening as they became
soaked in creamy nectar. Granny had no advice to give here: in theory the pies had been
touched only by the machine; in practice, the vendor had held them against his hand while
giving them to us, but it was impossible to isolate the contaminated area.

I was fascinated, however, by some of my peers, whose parents bought them not a four-
cent pie but two two-cent cones. These privileged children advanced proudly with one cone
in their right hand and one in their left; and expertly moving their head from side to side,
they licked first one, then the other. This liturgy seemed to me so sumptuously enviable,
that many times I asked to be allowed to celebrate it. In vain. My elders were inflexible: a
four-cent ice, yes; but two two-cent ones, absolutely no.

As anyone can see, neither mathematics nor economy nor dietetics justified this refusal. Nor
did hygiene, assuming that in due course the tips of both cones were discarded. The
pathetic, and obviously mendacious, justification was that a boy concerned with turning his
eyes from one cone to the other was more inclined to stumble over stones, steps, or cracks
in the pavement. I dimly sensed that there was another secret justification, cruelly
pedagogical, but I was unable to grasp it.

Today, citizen and victim of a consumer society, a civilization of excess and waste (which
the society of the thirties was not), I realize that those dear and now departed elders were
right. Two two-cent cones instead of one at four cents did not signify squandering,
economically speaking, but symbolically they surely did. It was for this precise reason, that
I yearned for them: because two ice creams suggested excess. And this was precisely why
they were denied me: because they looked indecent, an insult to poverty, a display of
fictitious privilege, a boast of wealth. Only spoiled children ate two cones at once, those
children who in fairy tales were rightly punished, as Pinocchio was when he rejected the skin
and the stalk. And parents who encouraged this weakness, appropriate to little parvenus,
were bringing up their children in the foolish theater of "Id like to but I cant. They were
preparing them to turn up at tourist-class cheek-in with a fake Gucci bag bought from a
street peddler on the beach at Rimini.

Nowadays the moralist risks seeming at odds with morality, in a world where the consumer
civilization now wants even adults to be spoiled, and promises them always something
more, from the wristwatch in the box of detergent to the bonus bangle sheathed, with the
magazine it accompanies, in a plastic envelope. Like the parents of those ambidextrous
gluttons I so envied, the consumer civilization pretends to give more, but actually gives, for
four cents, what is worth four cents. You will throw away the old transistor radio to
purchase the new one, that boasts an alarm clock as well, but some inexplicable defect in
the mechanism will guarantee that the radio lasts only a year. The new cheap car will have
leather seats, double side mirrors adjustable from inside, and a paneled dashboard, but it
will not last nearly so long as the glorious old Fiat 500, which, even when it broke down,
could be started again with a kick.

The morality of the old days made Spartans of us all, while todays morality wants all of us
to be Sybarites.
11. Which of the following cannot be inferred from the passage?
A. Todays society is more extravagant than the society of the 1930s.
B. The act of eating two ice cream cones in akin to a ceremonial process.

thing is worth.

Directions for Questions 6 to 20: The passage given below is followed by a set of five
questions. Choose the most appropriate answer to each question.
To summarize the Classic Maya collapse, we can tentatively identify five strands. I
acknowledge, however, that Maya archaeologists still disagree vigorously among
themselves-in part, because the different strands evidently varied in importance among
different parts of the Maya realm; because detailed archaeological studies are available for
only some Maya sites; and because it remains puzzling why most of the Maya heartland
remained nearly empty of population and failed to recover after the collapse and after re-
growth of forests.

With those caveats, it appears to me that one strand consisted of population growth
outstripping available resources: a dilemma similar to the one foreseen by Thomas Malthus
in 1798 and being played out today in Rwanda (Chapter 10), Haiti (Chapter 11), and
elsewhere. As the archaeologist David Webster succinctly puts it, "Too many farmers grew
too many crops on too much of the landscape. Compounding that mismatch between
population and resources was the second strand: the effects of deforestation and hillside
erosion, which caused a decrease in the amount of useable farmland at a time when more
rather than less farmland was needed, and possibly exacerbated by an anthropogenic
drought resulting from deforestation, by soil nutrient depletion and other soil problems, and
by the struggle to prevent bracken ferns from overrunning the fields.

The third strand consisted of increased fighting, as more and more people fought over fewer
resources. Maya warfare, already endemic, peaked just before the collapse. That is not
surprising when one reflects that at least 5,000,000 people, perhaps many more, were
crammed into an area smaller than the state of Colorado (104,000 square miles). That
warfare would have decreased further the amount of land available for agriculture, by
creating no-mans lands between principalities where it was now unsafe to farm. Bringing
matters to a head was the strand of climate change. The drought at the time of the Classic
collapse was not the first drought that the Maya had lived through, but it was the most
severe. At the time of previous droughts, there were still uninhabited parts of the Maya
landscape, and people at a site affected by drought could save themselves by moving to
another site. However, by the time of the Classic collapse the landscape was now full, there
was no useful unoccupied land in the vicinity on which to begin anew, and the whole
population could not be accommodated in the few areas that continued to have reliable
water supplies.

As our fifth strand, we have to wonder why the kings and nobles failed to recognize and
solve these seemingly obvious problems undermining their society. Their attention was
evidently focused on their short-term concerns of enriching themselves, waging wars,
erecting monuments, competing with each other, and extracting enough food from the
peasants to support all those activities. Like most leaders throughout human history, the
Maya kings and nobles did not heed long-term problems, insofar as they perceived them.
We shall return to this theme in Chapter 14.

Finally, while we still have some other past societies to consider in this book before we
switch our attention to the modern world, we must already be struck by some parallels
between the Maya and the past societies discussed in Chapters 2-4. As on Easter Island,
Mangareva, and among the Anasazi, Maya environmental and population problems led to
increasing warfare and civil strife. As on Easter Island and at Chaco Canyon, Maya peak
population numbers were followed swiftly by political and social collapse. Paralleling the
eventual extension of agriculture from Easter Islands coastal lowlands to its uplands, and
from the Mimbres floodplain to the hills, Copans inhabitants also expanded from the
floodplain to the more fragile hill slopes, leaving them with a larger population to feed when
the agricultural boom in the hills went bust. Like Easter Island chiefs erecting ever larger
statues, eventually crowned by pukao, and like Anasazi elite treating themselves to
necklaces of 2,000 turquoise beads, Maya kings sought to outdo each other with more and
more impressive temples, covered with thicker and thicker plaster- reminiscent in turn of
the extravagant conspicuous consumption by modern American CEOs. The passivity of
Easter chiefs and Maya kings in the face of the real big threats to their societies completes
our list of disquieting parallels.

Directions for Questions to5: The passage given below is followed by a set of five
questions Choose the most appropriate answer to each question
Language is not a cultural artifact that we learn the way we learn to tell time or how the
federal government works. Instead, it is a distinct piece of the biological makeup of our
brains. Language is a complex, specialized skill, which develops in the child spontaneously,
without conscious effort or formal instruction, is deployed without awareness of its
underlying logic, is qualitatively the same in every individual, and is distinct from more
general abilities to process information or behave intelligently. For these reasons some
cognitive scientists have described language as a psychological faculty, a mental organ, a
neural system, and a computational module. But I prefer the admittedly quaint term
"instinct. It conveys the idea that people know how to talk in more or less the sense that
spiders know how to spin webs. Web-spinning was not invented by some unsung spider
genius and does not depend on having had the right education or on having an aptitude for
architecture or the construction trades. Rather, spiders spin spider webs because they have
spider brains, which give them the urge to spin and the competence to succeed. Although
there are differences between webs and words, I will encourage you to see language in this
way, for it helps to make sense of the phenomena we will explore.

Thinking of language as an instinct inverts the popular wisdom, especially as it has been
passed down in the canon of the humanities and social sciences. Language is no more a
cultural invention than is upright posture. It is not a manifestation of a general capacity to
use - symbols: a three year old, we shall see, is a grammatical genius, but is quite
incompetent at the visual arts, religious iconography, traffic signs, and the other staples of
the semiotics curriculum. Though language is a magnificent ability unique to Homo sapiens
among living species, it does not call for sequestering the study of humans from the domain
of biology, for a magnificent ability unique to a particular living species is far from unique in
the animal kingdom. Some kinds of bats home in on flying insects using Doppler sonar.
Some kinds of migratory birds navigate thousands of miles by calibrating the positions of
the constellations against the time of day and year. In natures talent show we are simply a
species of primate with our own act, a knack for communicating information about who did
what to whom by modulating the sounds we make when we exhale.

Once you begin to look at language not as the ineffable essence of human uniqueness but
as a biological adoption to communicate information, it is no longer as tempting to see
language as an insidious shaper of thought, and, we shall see, it is not Moreover, seeing
language as one of natures engineering marvels - an organ with "that perfection of
structure and co-adaption which justly excites our admiration, in Darwins words- give us a
new respect for your ordinary Joe and the much-maligned English language (or any
language) The complexity of language, from the scientists point of view, is part of our
biological birth right; it is not something that parents teach their children or something that
must be elaborated in school - as Oscar Wilde said, Education is an admirable thing, but it
is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught
"pre scholar `stacit knowledge of grammar is more sophisticated than the thickest style
manual or the most state-of-the-art computer language system, and the same applies to all
healthy human beings, even the notorious syntax-fracturing professional athlete and the,
you know, like, inarticulate teenage skateboarder. Finally, since language is the product of a
well-engineered biological instinct, we shall see that it is not nutty barrel of monkeys that
entertainer-columnists make it out to be.

5). A fisherman's day is rated as good if he catches 9 fishes, fair if 7 fishes and bad if 5
fishes. He catches 53 fishes in a week n had all good, fair n bad days in the week. So how
many good, fair n bad days did the fisher man had in the week
Ans:4 good, 1 fair n 2 bad days
Sol) Go to river catch fish
49=3
71=7
25=10
3+7+10=53...
take what is given 53
good days means --- 9 fishes so 53/9=4(remainder=17) if u assume 5 then there is no
chance for bad days.
fair days means ----- 7 fishes so remaining 17 --- 17/7=1(remainder=10) if u assume 2
then there is no chance for bad days.
bad days means -------5 fishes so remaining 10---10/5=2days.
Ans: 4 good, 1 fair, 2bad. ==== total 7 days.
x+y+z=7--------- eq1
9x+7y+5z=53 -------eq2
multiply eq 1 by 9,
9x+9y+9z=35 -------------eq3
from eq2 and eq3
2y+4z=10-----eq4
since all x,y and z are integer i sud put a integer value of y such that z sud be integer in eq
4 .....and ther will be two value y=1 or 3 then z = 2 or 1 from eq 4
for first y=1,z=2 then from eq1 x= 4
so 94+17+25=53.... satisfied
now for second y=3 z=1 then from eq1 x=3
so 93+37+15=53 ......satisfied
so finally there are two solution of this question
(x,y,z)=(4,1,2) and (3,3,1)...

57) Y catches 5 times more fishes than X. If total number of fishes caught by X and Y is 42,
then number of fishes caught by X?
Sol) Let no. of fish x catches=p
no. caught by y =r
r=5p.
r+p=42
then p=7,r=35

58) Three companies are working independently and receiving the savings 20%, 30%, 40%.
If the companies work combinely, what will be their net savings?
suppose total income is 100
so amount x is getting is 80
y is 70
z =0
total=210
but total money is 300
300-210=90
so they are getting 90 rs less
90 is 30% of 300 so they r getting 30% discount

59) The ratio of incomes of C and D is 3:4.the ratio of their expenditures is 4:5. Find the
ratio of their savings if the savings of C is one fourths of his income?
Sol) incomes:3:4
expenditures:4:5
3x-4y=1/4(3x)
12x-1y=3x
9x=1y
y=9x/1
(3x-4(9x/1))/((4x-5(9x/1)))
Ans:12/19
0).The size of a program is N. And the memory occupied by the program is given by M =
now occupied ?
Sol) M=sqrt(100N)
N is increased by 1%
therefore new value of N=N + (N/100)
=101N/100
M=sqrt(100 (101N/100) )
Hence, we get M=sqrt(101 N).
1). A person had to multiply two numbers. Instead of multiplying by 35, he multiplied by

Directions for Questions 2-26: Read the passage and answer the questions that
follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage
Educational planning should aim at meeting the educational needs of the entire population
of all age groups. While the traditional structure of education as a three layer hierarchy
from the primary stage to the university represents the core, we should not overlook the
periphery which is equally important. Under modern conditions, workers need to rewind, or
renew their enthusiasm, or strike out in a new direction, or improve their skills as much as
any university professor. The retired and the aged have their needs as well. Educational
planning, in their words, should take care of the needs of everyone.
Our structures of education have been built up on the assumption that there is a terminal
point to education. This basic defect has become all the more harmful today, A UNESCO
report entitled 'Learning to Be' prepared by Edger Faure and others in 1973 asserts that the
education of children must prepare the future adult for various forms of self-learning. A
viable education system of the future should consist of modules with different kinds of
functions serving a diversity of constituents. And performance, not the period of study,
should be the basis for credentials. The writing is already on the wall.
In view of the fact that the significance of a commitment of lifelong learning and lifetime
education is being discussed only in recent years even in educationally advanced countries,
The possibility of the idea becoming an integral part of educational thinking seems to be
afar cry. For, to move in that direction means such more than some
simple rearrangement of the present organisation of education. But a good begining can be
made by developing open university programmes for older learners of different categories
and introducing extension services in the conventional colleges and schools. Also these
institutions should learn to co-operate with the numerous community organizations such as
libraries, museums, municipal recreational programmes, health services etc.
21. What is the main thrust of the author ?
A) Traditional systems should be strengthened
B) Formal education is more important than non-formal
C) One should never cease to learn
D) It is impossible to meet the needs of everyone

Ans : D
23.Which of the following is most nearly the same in meaning as the word 'meeting' as used

Directions for Questions 2-26: Read the passage and answer the questions that
follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage
Amnesty International's charge that 'tens of thousands' of political prisoners, including
prisoners of conscience, are languishing in Indian jails and that prisoners are routinely
tortured in this country has to be seen in a much wider context than the organisation's
annual report cares to do. In its overall appraisal of 151 countries, Amnesty has accused
112 of torturing prisoners, 3 of harboring prisoners of conscience, 1 of resorting to
political killings and 53 of detaining people without a trial. Of these
apparently overlapping categories, India seems to have been excluded from the list of the
1 which undertake political killings. The report has however, pointed out that scores of
people in India die of torture in police and military custody and that many also simply
disappear. Clearly, only a thin line separates the 1 charged with political murder from the
rest. Before coming to such conclusions, however, it may also be necessary to classify the
various countries according to their political systems. Torture by the security forces and
killings at the behest of the government make no difference to the victims whether they are
in a democratic country or a totalitarian one. It is also nobody's case that a democratic
country is lessculpable than a dictatorship in the event of human rights violations. But the
point perhaps still needs to be made that torture or 'disappearances' represent a failure of
the system in a democracy in contrast to being an integral part of state policy in a country
ruled by an autocrat who is answerable to no one.
India may be guilty of keeping 'tens of thousands' behind bars and of the other human
rights abuses mentioned by qualitatively different place from a totalitarian country. It is in
this respect that Amnesty has been lass than fair. It has chosen to ignore the distinctions
between the good, the bad and the ugly. The openness of Indian society will be evident to
anyone who spends half an hour in one of its chaotic market-places or visits the law courts
or watches a political rally or reads a newspaper or strikes up a conversation with any
person on the roads. There is no sense of fear in India, as in a dictatorship. There is also
scope for securing relief from the heavy-handed behaviour of the authorities, even if the
human rights commission has not yet lived up to expectations. Unless such points are
recognised, Amnesty's assessment will seem to be a dry recital of statistics which
maypillory India simply because of its larger population. Mercifully, Amnesty nowadays at
least notes that the terrorists also indulge in human rights violations and that India has to
cope with several insurgencies fomented by a country where the military does not always
seem to be under the control of the elected government. True, there is much that is the
way the terrorist challenge is activating the self-correcting mechanism within a democracy
and not merely on painting a grim, even biased picture.

3) My flight takes of at 2am from a place at 18N 10E and landed 10 Hrs later at a place with
coordinates 3N70W. What is the local time when my plane landed?
:00 am b) :40am c) 7:40 d) 7:00 e) 8:00
Sol) The destination place is 80 degree west to the starting place. Hence the time difference
between these two places is 5 hour 20 min. (=24hr80/30).
When the flight landed, the time at the starting place is 12 noon (2 AM + 10 hours).
Hence, the time at the destination place is 12 noon - 5:20 hours = : 40 AM
4) A plane moves from 9N40E to 9N40W. If the plane starts at 10 am and takes 8 hours
to reach the destination, find the local arrival time ?
Sol) Since it is moving from east to west longitide we need to add both
ie,40+40=80
multiply the ans by 4
=>804=320min
convert this min to hours ie, 5hrs 20min
It takes 8hrs totally . So 8-5hr 20 min=2hr 40min
So the ans is 10am+2hr 30 min
=>ans is 12:30 it will reach
5) The size of the bucket is N kb. The bucket fills at the rate of 0.1 kb per millisecond. A
programmer sends a program to receiver. There it waits for 10 milliseconds. And response
will be back to programmer in 20 milliseconds. How much time the program takes to get a
response back to the programmer, after it is sent? Please tell me the answer with
explanation. Very urgent.
Sol) see it doesnt matter that wat the time is being taken to fill the bucket.after reaching
program it waits there for 10ms and back to the programmer in 20 ms.then total time to
get the response is 20ms +10 ms=30ms.its so simple..
) A file is transferred from one location to another in `buckets. The size of the bucket is 10
kilobytes. Each bucket gets filled at the rate of 0.0001 kilobytes per millisecond. The
transmission time from sender to receiver is 10 milliseconds per bucket. After the receipt of
the bucket the receiver sends an acknowledgement that reaches sender in 100 milliseconds.
Assuming no error during transmission, write a formula to calculate the time taken in
seconds to successfully complete the transfer of a file of size N kilobytes.

7) A fishermans day is rated as good if he catches 9 fishes, fair if 7 fishes and bad if 5
fishes. He catches 53 fishes in a week n had all good, fair n bad days in the week. So how
many good, fair n bad days did the fisher man had in the week
Ans:4 good, 1 fair n 2 bad days
Sol) Go to river catch fish
49=3
71=7
25=10
3+7+10=53.
take what is given 53
good days means - 9 fishes so 53/9=4(remainder=17) if u assume 5 then there is no
chance for bad days.
fair days means -- 7 fishes so remaining 17 - 17/7=1(remainder=10) if u assume 2 then
there is no chance for bad days.
bad days means ---5 fishes so remaining 10-10/5=2days.
Ans: 4 good, 1 fair, 2bad. ==== total 7 days.
x+y+z=7--- eq1
9x+7y+5z=53 ---eq2
multiply eq 1 by 9,
9x+9y+9z=35 -----eq3
from eq2 and eq3
2y+4z=10--eq4
since all x,y and z are integer i sud put a integer value of y such that z sud be integer in eq
4 ...and ther will be two value y=1 or 3 then z = 2 or 1 from eq 4
for first y=1,z=2 then from eq1 x= 4
so 94+17+25=53.. satisfied
now for second y=3 z=1 then from eq1 x=3
so 93+37+15=53 ..satisfied
so finally there are two solution of this question
(x,y,z)=(4,1,2) and (3,3,1).
Y catches 5 times more fishes than X. If total number of fishes caught by X and Y is 42,
then number of fishes caught by X?
Sol) Let no. of fish x catches=p
no. caught by y =r
r=5p.
r+p=42
then p=7,r=35
9) Three companies are working independently and receiving the savings 20%, 30%, 40%.
If the companies work combinely, what will be their net savings?
suppose total income is 100
so amount x is getting is 80
y is 70
z =0
total=210
but total money is 300
300-210=90
so they are getting 90 rs less
90 is 30% of 300 so they r getting 30% discount
10) The ratio of incomes of C and D is 3:4.the ratio of their expenditures is 4:5. Find the
ratio of their savings if the savings of C is one fourths of his income?

12) If A can copy 50 pages in 10 hours and A and B together can copy 70 pages in 10
hours, how much time does B takes to copy 2 pages?
Sol) A can copy 50 pages in 10 hrs.
A can copy 5 pages in 1hr.(50/10)
now A & B can copy 70 pages in 10hrs.
thus, B can copy 90 pages in 10 hrs.[eqn. is (50+x)/2=70, where x-> no. of pages B can
copy in 10 hrs.]
so, B can copy 9 pages in 1hr.
therefore, to copy 2 pages B will need almost 3hrs.
since in 3hrs B can copy 27 pages.
13) whats the answer for that :
A, B and C are 8 bit nos. They are as follows:
A -> 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1
B -> 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1
C -> 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 ( - =minus, u=union)
Find ((A - C) u B) =?
To find A-C, We will find 2s compliment of C and them add it with A,
That will give us (A-C)
2s compliment of C=1s compliment of C+1
=11000101+1=11000110
A-C=11000101+11000110
=10001001
Now (A-C) U B is .OR. logic operation on (A-C) and B
10001001 .OR . 00110011
The answer is = 10111011,
Whose decimal equivalent is 187.

2) The total expense of a boarding house are partly fixed and partly variable with the
number of boarders. The charge is Rs.70 per head when there are 25 boarders and Rs.0
when there are 50 boarders. Find the charge per head when there are 100 boarders.
a) 5 b) 55 c) 50 d) 45
Sol)
Let a = fixed cost and k = variable cost and n = number of boarders
total cost when 25 boarders c = 2570 = 1750 i.e. 1750 = a + 25k
total cost when 50 boarders c = 500 = 3000 i.e. 3000 = a + 50k
solving above 2 eqns, 3000-1750 = 25k i.e. 1250 = 25k i.e. k = 50
therefore, substituting this value of k in either of above 2 eqns we get
a = 500 (a = 3000-5050 = 500 or a = 1750 - 2550 = 500)
so total cost when 100 boarders = c = a + 100k = 500 + 10050 = 5500
so cost per head = 5500/100 = 55
27) Amal bought 5 pens, 7 pencils and 4 erasers. Rajan bought pens, 8 erasers and 14
pencils for an amount which was half more than what Amal had paid. What % of the total
amount paid by Amal was paid for pens?
a) 37.5% b) 2.5% c) 50% d) None of these
Sol)
Let, 5 pens + 7 pencils + 4 erasers = x rupees
so 10 pens + 14 pencils + 8 erasers = 2x rupees
also mentioned, pens + 14 pencils + 8 erarsers = 1.5x rupees
so (10-) = 4 pens = (2-1.5)x rupees
so 4 pens = 0.5x rupees => 8 pens = x rupees
so 5 pens = 5x/8 rupees = 5/8 of total (note x rupees is total amt paid byamal)
i.e 5/8 = 500/8% = 2.5% is the answer
28) I lost Rs.8 in two races. My second race loss is Rs. more than the first race. My friend

5) What is the number of zeros at the end of the product of the numbers from 1 to 100
Sol) For every 5 in unit palce one zero is added Ch eta naS
so between 1 to 100 there are 10 nos like 5,15,25,..,95 which has 5 in unit place.
Similarly for every no divisible by 10 one zero is added in the answer so between 1 to 100
11 zeros are added
for 25,50,75 3 extra zeros are added so total no of zeros are 10+11+3=24
57) 10 Digit number has its first digit equals to the numbers of 1s, second digit equals to
the numbers of 2s, 3rd digit equals to the numbers of 3s .4th equals number of 4s..till 9th
digit equals to the numbers of 9s and 10th digit equals to the number of 0s. what is the
number?.(marks)
ans:210001000
2-shows that two 1s in the ans
1-shows that one 2 in ans
0-shows no 3 in the ans
1-shows one in the ans
-shows six 0s in the ans
58) There are two numbers in the ratio 8:9. if the smaller of the two numbers is increased
by 12 and the larger number is reduced by 19 thee the ratio of the two numbers is 5:9. Find
the larger number?
sol) 8x:9x initialy
8x+ 12 : 9x - 19 = 5x:9x
8x+12 = 5x
-> x = 4
9x = 3 not sure about the answer ..
59) There are three different boxes A, B and C. Difference between weights of A and B is 3
kgs. And between B and C is 5 kgs. Then what is the maximum sum of the differences of all
possible combinations when two boxes are taken each time
A-B = 3
B-c = 5
a-c = 8
so sum of diff = 8+3+5 = 1 kgs
0) A and B are shooters and having their exam. A and B fall short of 10 and 2 shots
respectively to the qualifying mark. If each of them fired atleast one shot and even by
adding their total score together, they fall short of the qualifying mark, what is the
qualifying mark?
ans is 11
coz each had atleast 1 shot done so 10 + 1 = 11
n 9 + 2 = 11
so d ans is 11
1) A, B, C, and D tells the following times by looking at their watches. A tells it is 3 to 12.
B tells it is 3 past 12. C tells it is 12:2. D tells it is half a dozen too soon to 12. No two
watches show the same time. The difference between the watches is 2,3,4,5 respectively.
Whose watch shows maximum time?
sol) A shows 11:57, B shows 12:03, C shows 12:02, and D shows 11:0 therefore, max
time is for B
2) Falling height is proportional to square of the time. One object falls 4cm in 2sec than
in sec from how much height the object will fall.
Sol) The falling height is proportional to the squere of the time.
Now, the falling height is 4cm at 2sec
so, the proportional constant is=4/(22)=1;
so, at sec the object fall maximum (1)cm=57cm;
Now, the object may be situated at any where.
if it is>57 only that time the object falling 57cm within sec .Otherwise if it is
situated<57 then it fall only that height at sec.
3) Gavaskar average in first 50 innings was 50. After the 51st innings his average was 51
how many runs he made in the 51st innings
Ans) first 50 ings.- run= 5050=2500
51st ings.- avg 51. so total run =5151=201.
so run scored in that ings=201-2500=101 runs.
4) Anand finishes a work in 7 days, Bittu finishes the same job in 8 days and Chandu in
days. They take turns to finish the work. Anand on the first day, Bittu on the second and
Chandu on the third day and then Anand again and so on. On which day will the work get
over?
a) 3rd b) th c) 9th d) 7th
Ans is d) 7th day
Sol) In d 1st day Anand does 1/7th of total work
similarly,
Bithu does 1/8th work in d 2nd day
hence at d end of 3 days, work done = 1/7+1/8+1/=73/18
remaining work = (18-73)/18 = 95/18
again after days of work, remaining work is = (95-73)/18 = 22/18 and hence Anand
completes the work on 7th day.(hope u understood.)
5) A man, a women and a child can do a piece of work in days,man can do it in 14 days,
women can do it 1 days, and in how many days child can do the same work?
The child does it in 24 days
) A: 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1
B: 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0
C: 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1
Find ( (A-B) u C )==?
Hint : 109
A-B is {A} - {A n B}
A: 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1
B: 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0
by binary sub. a-b = 01100001 (1-0=1, 1-1=0,0-0=0, n for the 1st 3 digits 110-011=011)
now (a-b)uc= 01100001
or 01101101
gives 1101101. convert to decimal equals 10
