Assertion: India is a democratic country.

Reason: The government in India is run by representatives elected by the people.

A
(A) is false but (R) is true.

B
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

C
(A) is true but (R) is false.

D
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Solution

The logic followed is:

The Assertion is correct because India became a free nation on August 15, 1947, it declared itself a Sovereign, Democratic and Republic state with the adoption of the Constitution on January 26, 1950. The Constitution gave the citizens of India the power to choose their own government and paved the way for democracy.

And the Reason is the correct explanation of (A) because India, being a democracy, is a government-run by the representatives elected by its people.
Question 2

Directions For Questions

Statements:“I have not received electricity bills for nine months inspite of several complaints” – A Delhi resident’s letter to the editor of a daily.

Assumptions:

I. Every customer has a right to get bills regularly from the electricity department.

II. The customer’s complaints point to defect in the services which are expected to be corrected.

A
Only assumption I is implicit.

B
Only assumption II is implicit.

C
Either assumption I or II is implicit.

D
Both assumptions I and II are implicit.

Solution

From the fact that the customer is concerned about not receiving electricity bills, one can assume that every customer has a right to get the bills regularly. Thus I is implicit. II is also implicit as the customer has brought the incident into public by writing about it to the editor of a newspaper daily. This shows that the sheer negligence from the part of the electricity department is expected to be corrected through this means. So, both I and II are implicit.

Statement: The government has decided to pay compensation to the tune of Rs. 1 lakh to the family members of those who are killed in the earthquake.

Assumptions:

I. The government has enough funds to meet the expenses due to compensation.

II. There may be a reduction in the incidents of deaths caused due to earthquakes in the near future.

A
Only assumption I is implicit.

B
Only assumption II is implicit.

C
Either assumption I or II is implicit.

D
Neither assumption I nor II is implicit.

Solution

A government cannot fix the compensation to a certain amount unless it has enough funds to bear the expenses. Therefore, I is implicit. II is not implicit because the statement does not refer to reduction of deaths caused due to earthquakes. Moreover, it cannot be ensured that the future occurrences of earthquakes will not cause deaths.

Thus, XNSRIHQ is the code for WORSHIP.
Question 5

How many times does the 29th of a month occur in 400 consecutive years?

A
4497

B
1237

C
5012

D
4490

Solution

There are 97 leap years in 400 consecutive years.

Therefore, the 29th day of February occurs 97 times in 400 consecutive years and the 29th day 400 × 11 or 4400 times in the remaining eleven months.

Therefore, the 29th day of the month occurs (4400+97) or 4497 times.
Question 6

Directions For Questions

Direction: Read the information carefully and answer the question below.

Right before Holi, a trader imported environmental friendly colours from other states. He got nine boxes that contain nine different colours, Orange, Pink, Blue, Red, Black, Green, Yellow, Purple, and Brown. These nine boxes are stacked upon one another in the go-down but not necessarily in the same order.

Four boxes are kept between the boxes that contain Pink and Orange colour. Three boxes are kept between the boxes that contain Green and Red colour and either of them is at the top. The box that contains Orange colour is kept immediately below the box that contains Green colour. The box that contains Yellow colour is kept immediately below the box that contains Blue colour. Only one box is kept between the boxes that contain Brown and Yellow colour. The box that contains Black colour is not kept at the bottom.

Which of the following is correct about the position of the box that contains Blue colour?

A
Third from the bottom.

B
Fifth from the top

C
Second from the top

D
Immediately below the box that contains Orange colour

Solution

1) Three boxes are kept between the boxes that contain Green and Red colour and either of them is at the top.

2) Four boxes are kept between the boxes that contain Pink and Orange colour.

3) The box that contains Orange colour is kept immediately below the box that contains Green colour.

(If we assume that the box that contains Green colour is at the 5th position from the top then the box that contains Orange colour would be at the 4th position from the bottom and in that case we would not be able to place the box that contains Pink colour. Thus, the box containing Green colour is at the top and the box containing Orange colour is at the second position from the top and accordingly, we can place the boxes containing Pink and Red colour.)

4) The box that contains Yellow colour is kept immediately below the box that contains Blue colour.

There are two possibilities here:

Case I: The Blue box is kept immediately below the Orange box and the Yellow box is kept at the 4th position from the top.

Case II: The blue box is kept at the 2nd place from the bottom and the Yellow box is kept at the bottom.

5) Only one box is kept between the boxes that contain Brown and Yellow colour.

(Let us assume that the case II of the previous statement is true, then the Yellow box is at the bottom but in that case we would not be able to place the Brown box so that it satisfy the given criteria. Thus, the blue box is placed at the 3rd position and the Yellow box is placed at the 4th position from the top. Also, we cannot place the Brown box above the yellow box in this case as the orange box is there. Thus, the Brown box is placed two boxes below the Yellow box.)

6) The box that contains Black colour is not kept at the bottom.

(Implies, the purple box must be at the bottom and the black box must be right above the purple box as it is the only possibility left.)

Clearly, the box that contains the Blue colour is placed immediately below the box that contains Orange colour.
