Question 1
2 / -0.66

Find the part of the given sentence that has an error in it. If there is no error, choose 'No error'.

She will not (a)/ be bringing (b)/ some food to the party. (c)/ No error (d)

A
(d)

B
(a)

C
(b)

D
(c)
Solution
The correct answer is 'c'.

Key Points
- The error lies in the usage of 'some' instead of 'any'.
- As a general rule, we use 'some' for affirmative sentences, and 'any' for questions or negative sentences.
- Usually, both 'some' and 'any' can only be used with countable plural nouns or uncountable nouns.
  
  For example: She has some beautiful antique furniture.
- He won't be any happier there than he was here.
- Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
Correct Sentence: She will not be bringing any food to the party.

Question 2

2 / -0.66

If there are two tasks such that they can be completed independently in 5 and 6 ways respectively, then either of the two jobs can be completed in

11 ways

30 ways

12 ways

None of the above

Solution

Concept:

Fundamental Principle of Counting:

Fundamental Principle of Multiplication:

Let us suppose there are two tasks A and B such that task A can be done in m different ways following which the second task B can be done in n different ways. Then the number of ways to complete the task A and B in succession respectively is given by: m × n ways.

Fundamental Principle of Addition:

Let us suppose there are two tasks A and B such that task A can be done in m different ways and task B can be completed in n ways. Then the number of ways to complete either of the two tasks is given by: (m + n) ways.

Some of the most commonly used keywords in a word problem are shown in the table below:

Terms to look out for in word problem-based problems	Mathematical meaning
Either A or B	Only one is needed
Both A and B	Both are required
Neither A nor B	Neither of them is required

Calculation:

Given: Two tasks can be completed independently in 5 and 6 ways respectively

By fundamental principle of addition, either of the jobs can be done in 5 ways or 6 ways

∴ Total ways = 5 ways + 6 ways = 11 ways

Question 3
2 / -0.66

A piece of paper is folded and cut as shown in the question figure. From the given answer figure, indicate how it will appear when opened.

A

B

C

D

Solution

Hence, figure 3 is the correct answer.
Question 4
2 / -0.66

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select No Improvement.

These flowers smell sweetly and are sold at high prices in the market.

A
These flowers will smell sweetly

B
These flowers smelt sweetly

C
No improvement

D
These flowers smell sweet
Solution
The correct answer is 'These flowers smell sweet'.

Key Points
- The word 'sweetly' is inappropriate.
- Here, the smell of the flowers are being described. So, an adjective should be used instead of an adverb.
- The word 'sweet' should replace 'sweetly'.
- Hence, option 4) is the answer.
Correct sentence: These flowers smell sweet and are sold at high prices in the market.

Additional Information

An adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun.
- Example: Testbook is an amazing online learning platform.
Question 5
2 / -0.66

‘’We lived in a culture that denied any merit to literary works, considering them important only when they were handmaidens to something seemingly more urgent – namely ideology. This was a country where all gestures, even the most private, were interpreted in political terms.’’

The author’s belief that ideology is not as important as literature is revealed by the word:

A
‘culture’

B
‘seemingly’

C
‘urgent’

D
‘political’

Solution

Explanation:

Through these lines, the author means to convey that he lived in a culture that did not consider literature important unless it was supporting something that was seen to be more important or urgent, and names 'ideology' as that thing.

By stating that ideology was 'seemingly' more important, he implies that, in his opinion, it wasn't more important than literature but was seen to be.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'seemingly'.
Question 6
2 / -0.66

If a ⊕ b = L. C. M. of a and b, a ⊗ b = G. C. F. of a and b, then (12 ⊗ 16) ⊕ (24 ⊗ 36) will be

A
4

B
2

C
12

D
16

Solution

Given:

If a ⊕ b = L. C. M. of a and b, a ⊗ b = G. C. F. of a and b

Concept used:

LCM and HCF(GCF)

Calculation:

According to the question,

(12 ⊗ 16) ⊕ (24 ⊗ 36)

GCF(12 & 16)

⇒ 12 = 2 × 2 × 3

⇒ 16 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

GCF(Common of the both number) = 2 × 2 = 4

GCF(24 & 36)

⇒ 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

⇒ 36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

GCF(Common of the both number) = 2 × 2 × 3 = 12

LCM(4 & 12)

⇒ 4 = 2 × 2

⇒ 12 = 2 × 2 × 3

LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 = 12

∴ (12 ⊗ 16) ⊕ (24 ⊗ 36) will be 12.
Question 7
2 / -0.66

Anup travels 5 km towards the west from his office, then travels 4 km towards the north, followed by 5 km towards the west and finally 6 km towards the north. What is the horizontal distance (in km) travelled by him?

A
15

B
10

C
20

D
25

Solution

The path travelled by Anup is as shown below.

∴ Horizontal distance = 5 + 5 = 10 km

Hence, “10 Km” is the correct answer.
Question 8
2 / -0.66

The total exports and revenues from the exports of a country are given in the two charts shown below. The pie chart for exports shows the quantity of each item exported as a percentage of the total quantity of exports. The pie chart for the revenues shows the percentage of the total revenue generated through export of each item. The total quantity of exports of all the items is 500 thousand tonnes and the total revenues are 250 crore rupees. Which item among the following has generated the maximum revenue per kg?

A
Item 2

B
Item 3

C
Item 6

D
Item 5

Solution

Given:

The total quantity of exports of all the items = 500 thousand tonnes

The total revenues = 250 crore rupees

Calculation:

Total revenue for item 1 = 12% ×  250 × 107  = 3 × 108 rupees

Total export for item 1 = 11% × 500 × 10⁶ = 55 × 10⁶ kg

Item1revenue per kg = (3/55) × 10²= 5.45 rupees

Total revenue for item 2 = 20% × 250 × 107  = 5 × 10⁸  rupees

Total export for item 2 = 20% × 500 × 106 = 10⁸ kg

Item 2 revenue per kg = 5 rupees

Total revenue for item 3 = 23% × 250 × 107  = 5.75 × 10⁸

Total export for item 3 = 19% × 500 × 106 = 95 × 106

Item 3 revenue per kg = 6.052 rupees

Total revenue for item 4 = 6% × 250 × 107  = 1.5  × 108

Total export for item 4 = 22% × 500 × 106 = 11 × 107

Item 4 revenue per kg = 1.363 rupees

Total revenue for item 5 = 20% × 250 × 107 = 5 × 108  rupees

Total export for item 5 = 12% × 500 × 106 = 6 × 107  rupees

Item 5 revenue per kg = 8.333 rupees

Total revenue for item 6 = 19% × 250 × 107  = 475  × 106  rupees

Total export for item 6 = 16% × 500 × 106 = 8  × 107  rupees

Item 6 revenue per kg = 5.9375  rupees

∴ Item 5 has generated the maximum revenue per kg

Question 10
2 / -0.66

Abdul and Anish agree to do a work for Rs. 600. Abdul alone can do the work in 2 days and Anish alone can do the work in 3 days. But with the help of Alan they finished the work in a day. Find the ratio of sum of Abdul and Alan’s share to sum of Abdul and Anish’s share.

A
4 ∶ 5

B
1 ∶ 2

C
2 ∶ 3

D
None of these

Solution

Abdul takes 2 days to complete a work

⇒ Work done by Abdul in one day = 1/2

Anish takes 3 days to complete a work

⇒ Work done by Anish in one day = 1/3

Let the work done by Alan in a day be 1/x

⇒ Work done by Abdul, Anish and Alan in a day = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/x = 1

⇒ 1/x = 1 - 5/6

⇒ Work done by Alan in a day = 1/6

Ratio of work done by Abdul ∶ Anish ∶ Alan

⇒ 1/2 ∶ 1/3 ∶ 1/6

Share of Abdul ∶ Anish ∶ Alan = 3 ∶ 2 ∶ 1

Share of Abdul = (3/6) × 600 = Rs. 300

Share of Anish = (2/6) × 600 = Rs. 200

Share of Alan = (1/6) × 600 = Rs. 100

Sum of Abdul and Alan’s share ∶ Sum of Abdul and Anish’s share

⇒ (300 + 100) ∶ (300 + 200)

∴ 400 ∶ 500 = 4 ∶ 5
