Directions: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.Democracy is a core value of the United Nations. The UN supports democracy by promoting human rights, development, and peace, and security. In the 75 years since the UN Charter was signed, the UN has done more to support democracy around the world than any other global organization. The UN promotes good governance, monitors elections, supports civil society to strengthen democratic institutions and accountability, ensures self-determination in decolonized countries, and assists in the drafting of new constitutions in post-conflict nations.When the founders of the United Nations drafted the United Nations Charter, they did not mention the word democracy. In 1945, many of the UN Member States did not endorse democracy as a system or didn’t practice it. Yet, the opening words of the Charter, “We the Peoples”, reflect the fundamental principle of democracy - that the will of the people is the source of legitimacy of sovereign states and, therefore, of the United Nations as a whole.The UN does not advocate for a specific model of government but promotes democratic governance as a set of values and principles that should be followed for greater participation, equality, security, and human development. Democracy provides an environment that respects human rights and fundamental freedoms, and in which the freely expressed will of people is exercised. People have a say in decisions and can hold decision-makers to account. Women and men have equal rights and all people are free from discrimination.Q. Which of these values are not shown by the UN while supporting democracy?- a)Equal distribution of resources
- b)Peace and security

Nikita Singh answered |
I: x2 + 76x + 1444 = 0
⇒ (x + 38)2 = 0 [∵ a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2]
⇒ x = -38
II: 3y2 + 228y + 4332 = 0 ÷ 3
⇒ y2 + 76y + 1444 = 0
⇒ (y + 38)2 = 0
⇒ y = -38
∴ x = y

Rohan Sengupta answered |
The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows.
Conclusions:
I. All spicy can be tangy → True (As we can see the relation between spicy and tangy is not clear. So, all spicy can be tangy is a possibility and is true)
II. No sour being sweet is a possibility → False (As we can see that some sweet are sour and some sweet are not sour. So, the conclusion no sour being sweet is a possibility does not follow)
So, only conclusion I follow.
Hence, the correct option is (A).

Manoj Joshi answered |
Error Explanation:
The error in the given sentence is in part (A): The NYT said the most presidential advisers.
Detailed Explanation:
The error in the sentence lies in the incorrect usage of the adjective "most" before the noun "presidential advisers".
The word "most" is used to compare three or more items or individuals. However, in this sentence, the comparison is not between three or more presidential advisers, but rather between two groups of advisers - those who pushed back against the plan and those who did not.
To correct the error, we need to replace "most" with "some" to indicate that only a portion of the presidential advisers, not all of them, pushed back against the plan.
Corrected Sentence:
The NYT said some presidential advisers, including personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, pushed back against the plan, which Trump floated at a meeting.
Option A is the correct answer as it identifies the error in the sentence.

Effects of Nationalizing and Converting Banks into a Monopoly Bank
Nationalizing and converting all banks in an economy into a monopoly bank can have several effects on the total deposits. Let's discuss these effects in detail.
1. Reduced Competition:
- One of the main effects of nationalizing banks and converting them into a monopoly bank is the elimination of competition within the banking sector.
- With no competition, the monopoly bank has the power to set interest rates and fees as per its discretion, which may discourage depositors from keeping their money in the bank.
- The lack of competition may also lead to a decrease in customer service quality and innovation, potentially causing some depositors to withdraw their funds.
2. Confidence and Trust:
- Nationalization and the establishment of a monopoly bank can have both positive and negative effects on depositor confidence and trust.
- On one hand, nationalization can be seen as a guarantee that the government will safeguard depositors' funds, increasing confidence in the banking system.
- On the other hand, the absence of competition may lead to complacency, potentially reducing trust in the monopoly bank's ability to manage funds effectively.
3. Economic Stability:
- Nationalizing banks and converting them into a monopoly bank can contribute to economic stability in certain cases.
- The government can use the monopoly bank as a tool to implement monetary policies and regulate the flow of credit in the economy.
- By having control over the entire banking system, the government can influence lending practices, interest rates, and liquidity to promote economic growth and stability.
4. Depositor Behavior:
- The effect on total deposits will largely depend on the behavior of depositors.
- Some depositors may choose to withdraw their funds due to the lack of competition or concerns about the monopoly bank's management.
- However, other depositors may choose to continue keeping their funds in the bank due to the perceived government guarantee and stability provided by the monopoly bank.
Conclusion:
The total deposits in the economy are likely to neither increase nor decrease significantly as a result of nationalizing and converting banks into a monopoly bank. The effects on deposits will depend on various factors, including depositor behavior, confidence in the banking system, and the government's ability to manage the monopoly bank effectively.

Given Information:
- Total number of balls in six boxes A, B, C, D, E and F is 90.
- Number of balls in F is twice of the number of balls in A.
- Number of balls in D is thrice the number of balls in E.
- Average number of balls in B and F is equal to the number of balls in C.
- Ratio of the number of balls in D to F is 6:5.
- Number of balls in C is 8 less than that of D.
- Number of white balls in C, D and F is 50%, 50% and 70% respectively.
Let's solve the problem step by step:
Step 1: Calculate the total number of balls in boxes C, D, and F
- Let the number of balls in box A be x.
- Number of balls in F = 2x (twice the number of balls in A)
- Number of balls in D = 3y (thrice the number of balls in E)
Total number of balls in boxes C, D, and F = x + 3y + 2x = 3x + 3y
Step 2: Calculate the number of balls in C
- Average number of balls in B and F is equal to the number of balls in C
- Let the number of balls in C be z.
According to the given information, (B + F) / 2 = z
Substituting the values, (x + 2x) / 2 = z
3x / 2 = z
Step 3: Calculate the number of balls in D
- Number of balls in C is 8 less than that of D.
- Number of balls in D = 3y
- Number of balls in C = 3x / 2
According to the given information, 3x / 2 = 3y - 8
3x = 6y - 16
x = 2y - 16/3
Step 4: Calculate the number of black balls in C, D, and F
- Number of white balls in C, D, and F is 50%, 50%, and 70% respectively.
- Let the number of black balls in C, D, and F be b1, b2, and b3 respectively.
According to the given information,
Number of white balls in C = 50% of z = 0.5z
Number of white balls in D = 50% of 3y = 1.5y
Number of white balls in F = 70% of 2x = 1.4x
Total number of balls in C, D, and F = Number of white balls + Number of black balls
b1 + 0.5z = z
b2 + 1.5y = 3y
b3 + 1.4x = 2x
Step 5: Simplify the equations and find the values of z, x, and y
- From equation 1: b1 = 0.5z
- From equation 2: b2 = 1.5y - 3y
- Total number of balls in six boxes A, B, C, D, E and F is 90.
- Number of balls in F is twice of the number of balls in A.
- Number of balls in D is thrice the number of balls in E.
- Average number of balls in B and F is equal to the number of balls in C.
- Ratio of the number of balls in D to F is 6:5.
- Number of balls in C is 8 less than that of D.
- Number of white balls in C, D and F is 50%, 50% and 70% respectively.
Let's solve the problem step by step:
Step 1: Calculate the total number of balls in boxes C, D, and F
- Let the number of balls in box A be x.
- Number of balls in F = 2x (twice the number of balls in A)
- Number of balls in D = 3y (thrice the number of balls in E)
Total number of balls in boxes C, D, and F = x + 3y + 2x = 3x + 3y
Step 2: Calculate the number of balls in C
- Average number of balls in B and F is equal to the number of balls in C
- Let the number of balls in C be z.
According to the given information, (B + F) / 2 = z
Substituting the values, (x + 2x) / 2 = z
3x / 2 = z
Step 3: Calculate the number of balls in D
- Number of balls in C is 8 less than that of D.
- Number of balls in D = 3y
- Number of balls in C = 3x / 2
According to the given information, 3x / 2 = 3y - 8
3x = 6y - 16
x = 2y - 16/3
Step 4: Calculate the number of black balls in C, D, and F
- Number of white balls in C, D, and F is 50%, 50%, and 70% respectively.
- Let the number of black balls in C, D, and F be b1, b2, and b3 respectively.
According to the given information,
Number of white balls in C = 50% of z = 0.5z
Number of white balls in D = 50% of 3y = 1.5y
Number of white balls in F = 70% of 2x = 1.4x
Total number of balls in C, D, and F = Number of white balls + Number of black balls
b1 + 0.5z = z
b2 + 1.5y = 3y
b3 + 1.4x = 2x
Step 5: Simplify the equations and find the values of z, x, and y
- From equation 1: b1 = 0.5z
- From equation 2: b2 = 1.5y - 3y

Rohan Sengupta answered |
Given
Initial ratio = 3 : 1
20% water added + original amount = 2 liter
Let capacity of vessel be X.
Now 2 liters of water are present after transfer = Remaining amount of water + 20% of water replaced
⇒2=((0.80×X)×(1/4))+(0.20×X)
⇒2=((0.20×X)+(0.20×X)
⇒2=0.40×X
⇒(2/0.40)=X
⇒X=5
∴ Capacity of vessel is 5 liters.
Hence, the correct option is (D).

Rohan Sengupta answered |
I. a) 10 b) 5 c) 16
Speed of boat is 10 km/hr, upstream speed is 5 km/hr
So speed of stream is 10-5=5km/hr,
So, required time = 60/15 + 60/5 = 12 + 4 = 16hr
So, it is true.
II. a) 20 b) 15 c) 6
Speed of boat is 20 km/hr
Upstream speed is 15 km/hr
So speed of stream is 20-15=5km/hr
So, required time = 60/25 + 60/15 =2.4 + 4 = 6.4hr
So, it is false.
III. a) 12.5 b) 10 c) 10.5
Speed of boat is 12.5 km/hr
Upstream speed is 10 km/hr
So speed of stream is 12.5-10=2.5km/hr,
So, required time = 60/15 + 60/10 =10hr
So, it is false.

Error Analysis:
The error in the given sentence is in part (C). The correct preposition to be used after "looking forward" is "to" instead of "to work". The correct sentence should be "I'm looking forward to working with him."
Corrected Sentence:
We agreed to get together sooner than later and I'm looking forward to working with him.
Explanation:
The given sentence is a compound sentence that expresses two ideas: agreeing to get together and looking forward to working with someone. Let's analyze each part of the sentence:
(A) "We agreed to get together sooner than later" - This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not contain any errors. It states that the speaker and someone else agreed to meet or spend time together in the near future.
(B) "and I'm looking forward" - This part of the sentence is also grammatically correct. The phrase "looking forward" indicates anticipation or excitement about something.
(C) "to work with him" - This is the part of the sentence that contains the error. After the phrase "looking forward," the correct preposition to be used is "to" followed by a gerund (verb + -ing form). Therefore, the correct phrase should be "looking forward to working with him." This means the speaker is excited or eager to work together with the person mentioned.
(D) "No error" - This option is incorrect as we have identified an error in part (C) of the sentence.
(E) "No error" - This option is incorrect as we have identified an error in part (C) of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (C), and the sentence should be corrected as "We agreed to get together sooner than later and I'm looking forward to working with him."

The Centre and six states of North India signed a memorandum of understanding for construction of Lakhwar multi-purpose project in the Upper Yamuna basin in Uttarakhand. The problem of water shortage in all six States would be resolved as water flow in river Yamuna will improve in dry season from December to May/June every year. Under the agreement, the 204-metres high project will be constructed near Uttarakhand's Lohari village with a live storage capacity of 330.66 million cubic meter (MCM).

Rohan Sengupta answered |
A and D both look like sentences that can start the paragraph but, D is a better sentence to start as it gives a background for introducing the G7.
D that ways becomes the first sentence and all others get eliminated as they talk about what all will be discussed in the meeting and so on.
B will follow as it says – ‘the virtual gathering’ means the one that was introduced in D.
A follows B by introducing and giving details about the G7 and the member countries
E continues the explanation to G7 by providing information on which country holds the chairmanship of the G7 and what will the meet be focusing on.
C ‘says meet will also be focusing on’ so this continues the agenda being explained in E.
F ends the paragraph.
Hence, the correct rearrangement of the given sentences is DBAECF.
So, option (c) is the correct answer.

Rohan Sengupta answered |
'Having lived to' is incorrect.
'Having lived in' should be used to make the sentence correct.
The context here is of residing inside Paris and 'to' fails to convey this meaning.
Thus, the correct sentence would be- Having lived in Paris for two years, Prakash understands French reasonably well.
Hence, the correct option is (A).

Quantity A
Let 1 men’s 1 day’s work = x and 1 women’s 1 day’s work = y
Then,
10x + 15y = 1/15
5x + 10y = 1/25
Solving above equation,
10x + 20y = 2/25
10x + 15y = 1/15
5y = (2/25) – (1/15)
5y = 5/375
y = 1/375
1 women’s 1 day’s work = 1/375
Fraction of work completed in 1 day by a women = 1/375
Quantity B:
Let 1 women’s 1 day’s work = a and 1 girl’s 1 day’s work = b
Given,
5a + 10b = 1/10
7a + 5b = (1/15)
Solving above equation,
35a + 70b = 7/10
35a + 25b = 5/15 = 1/3
Then,
45b = 7/10 – 1/3
45b = 11/30
b = 11/1350
1 girl’s 1 day’s work = 11/1350
6 girls 1 day’s work = 6 × 11/1350 = 11/225
6 girls 6 days work = 6 × 11/225 = 22/75
Remaining work after 6 days =
= 1 – (22/75)
= 53/75
From above solution,
Relation between Quantity A < quantity="" b="" is="" />

Calculation of Total Tables on Floor 3 and Floor 4 of Building B
First, let's calculate the initial number of tables on Floor 3 and Floor 4 of Building B before any changes are made:
- Tables on Floor 3 of Building B: 94
- Tables on Floor 4 of Building B: 24 + 32 + 58 = 114
Total number of tables on Floor 3 and Floor 4 of Building B = 94 + 114 = 208
Effect of Adding 15 Tables to Floor 3 of Each Building
After adding 15 tables to Floor 3 of each building, the new number of tables on Floor 3 of Building B will be:
94 (initial) + 15 = 109 tables
Effect of Picking Two Number Cards
According to the given conditions, if both cards picked are number cards, the tables on Floor 4 of Building C will be divided equally among the Floor 4 of Buildings A and B. Since 15 tables were added to Floor 3 of each building, the total number of tables on Floor 3 and Floor 4 of Building B will be affected.
- Tables on Floor 4 of Building C: 24 + 32 + 58 = 114
- Tables on Floor 3 and Floor 4 of Building B before effect: 109 + 114 = 223
- Tables on Floor 3 and Floor 4 of Building B after dividing tables from Building C: 223 + (114/2) = 223 + 57 = 280
Therefore, the total number of tables on Floor 3 and Floor 4 of Building B after picking two number cards is 280.
Thus, the correct answer is option C) 161 tables.

Let x kg of copper is added in the alloy.

The word “Fragments” has been incorrectly spelt here as "Fragmants".
Let us see the meaning of "Fragments".
Fragments: small parts broke off or separated from something.
Let us see a sentence with the word "Fragments".
- There are many small fragments of pottery.
Let us see the meaning of other options.
- Endeavours: try hard to do or achieve something.
- Escalated: increase rapidly.
- Comprehend: grasp mentally; understand.
Hence, the correct option is (C).

Explanation:
Given statements:
- All spoon is knife
- No crockery is knife
- Only a few spoon are cards
Conclusions:
I. Some spoon is crockery
II. Some cards are not knife
III. Some knife is not spoon
Analysis:
- Conclusion I cannot be logically deduced from the given statements as there is no direct relationship established between spoon and crockery.
- Conclusion II can be logically inferred as it is consistent with the given statements. Since only a few spoons are cards and no crockery is a knife, it is possible that some cards are not knives.
- Conclusion III cannot be logically deduced from the given statements as there is no direct relationship established between knife and spoon.
Therefore, only conclusion II follows logically from the given statements. Hence, the correct answer is option 'A' - None of the conclusion follows.

Given Data:
- Total number of students = 200
- Number of students who like all three (coffee, tea, and cold drink) = 18
- Number of students who like none of them = 14
- 28% of students like only coffee
- Number of students who like both coffee and tea = 30
- 55% of students like coffee
- Ratio of students who like only tea to students who like only cold drink = 4:3
Finding the Difference:
Step 1: Calculate Number of Students who like Only Coffee
- 55% of 200 students like coffee = 0.55 * 200 = 110 students
- Number of students who like both coffee and tea = 30
- Number of students who like all three = 18
- Number of students who like only coffee = 110 - 30 - 18 = 62
Step 2: Calculate Number of Students who like Only Tea
- Number of students who like only coffee = 62
- Number of students who like only tea = 4x, where x is a common factor
- Number of students who like only cold drink = 3x, where x is a common factor
Step 3: Calculate x and Number of Students who like Only Tea and Only Cold Drink
- Total number of students = 200
- Number of students who like all three = 18
- Number of students who like none of them = 14
- Number of students who like only coffee = 62
- Number of students who like only tea = 4x
- Number of students who like only cold drink = 3x
Step 4: Calculate the Difference between Students who like Only Cold Drink and Only Tea
- Number of students who like only cold drink = 3x
- Number of students who like only tea = 4x
- Difference = 4x - 3x = x
Therefore, the difference between the number of students who like only cold drink and the number of students who like only tea is x. To find the value of x, further computations are required based on the given data. The correct answer is option 'E'.

Nikita Singh answered |
Given
Ratio of the parts = 2 : 3
Rate of interest for first part = 20%
Rate of interest for second part = 10%
Time = 2 years
Let the amount lent be 2x and 3x respectively,
According to question,
On solving the above equation, we get,
⇒ x = 900
The sum is (2x + 3x) = 5x
⇒ 5 × 900 = Rs. 4500
So, the sum is Rs. 4500.

The passage mentions various traditional handicrafts of Uttar Pradesh, such as Banarasi sarees, brass works of Moradabad, Chikankari of Lucknow, and Terracotta art of Gorakhpur. However, it does not mention cosmetics of Kannauj as one of the handicrafts being promoted at the handicrafts park. Kannauj is known for its perfumes and fragrances, not cosmetics.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option 'A - Cosmetics of Kannauj' as it is not mentioned in the passage.

Given:
- 30% increase in the price of an article in the first year
- 20% decrease in the second year
- 10% increase in the next year
- Present price of the article is Rs. 2288
To find:
- The price of the article 3 years ago
Solution:
Let's assume the price of the article 3 years ago was x.
Year 1:
- 30% increase in the price of the article
- New price = x + (30/100)x = x + 0.3x = 1.3x
Year 2:
- 20% decrease in the price of the article
- New price = 1.3x - (20/100)(1.3x) = 1.3x - 0.26x = 1.04x
Year 3:
- 10% increase in the price of the article
- New price = 1.04x + (10/100)(1.04x) = 1.04x + 0.104x = 1.144x
Given that the present price of the article is Rs. 2288, we can equate it to the price after 3 years:
1.144x = 2288
Dividing both sides by 1.144:
x = 2288 / 1.144
x = 2000
Therefore, the price of the article 3 years ago was Rs. 2000.
Hence, the correct answer is option 'B' (Rs. 2000).
- 30% increase in the price of an article in the first year
- 20% decrease in the second year
- 10% increase in the next year
- Present price of the article is Rs. 2288
To find:
- The price of the article 3 years ago
Solution:
Let's assume the price of the article 3 years ago was x.
Year 1:
- 30% increase in the price of the article
- New price = x + (30/100)x = x + 0.3x = 1.3x
Year 2:
- 20% decrease in the price of the article
- New price = 1.3x - (20/100)(1.3x) = 1.3x - 0.26x = 1.04x
Year 3:
- 10% increase in the price of the article
- New price = 1.04x + (10/100)(1.04x) = 1.04x + 0.104x = 1.144x
Given that the present price of the article is Rs. 2288, we can equate it to the price after 3 years:
1.144x = 2288
Dividing both sides by 1.144:
x = 2288 / 1.144
x = 2000
Therefore, the price of the article 3 years ago was Rs. 2000.
Hence, the correct answer is option 'B' (Rs. 2000).

Rohan Sengupta answered |
The given sentence is grammatically correct. So, there is no need to improve the sentence.
The verbs used in the sentence is in simple future tense. The formula for the simple future is will + [root form of verb].
When two or more verbs have the same subject, the verbs must be parallel. Parallel verbs mean the verbs used in a sentence should all be the same tense.
Before 'and', the verb 'will form' is used, and 'help pave' is used after (the verb 'will doesn't have to be repeated twice'.
So, 'No improvement' is the correct option.

Arrangement: Three rows (row 1: 5 persons, row 2: 6 persons, row 3: 3 persons).
Direction: row 1 – all face south, row 2 – 3 North followed by 3 South (from West to East)
Row 3 - 2 North followed by 1 South (from West to East)
1) Four persons are sitting between S and L.
This is possible in row 2.
2) S is facing P.
3) Two persons are sitting between N and P.
This means that S will be sitting at the west end of row 1 and P and N are sitting in row 1.
4) L is sitting second to the left of R.
5) M is facing R and sits at one of the ends of the row.
6)The position of Z with respect to S is same as the position of R with respect to L.
7) The position of U with respect to Z is same as the position of Q with respect to M.
8) V is facing X and is sitting to the immediate right of T.
9) W is not an immediate neighbour of N.
10) Y is one of the persons sitting in these rows.
So, Y sits second to the left of T.
Hence, the correct option is (C).

Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by choosing the correct/most appropriate options:The lion was the king of the forest. He had three servants the leopard, the fox and the crow. One day, a camel wandered into the forest. When the lion saw the camel, he said, “Who is this animal? Does he belong to the forest? Or the town? Go at once and find out about him.” The crow said, “Ah! This is a camel. He lives in the town. You can kill him and eat him up.” The lion said, “I cannot kill my guest. No promise is greater than the promise of safety. Give the camel the assurance of his safety and bring him to me.”The servants went to the camel and after assuring him of his safety, they presented him before the lion. The camel narrated his tragic tale to the lion. The lion said, “Dear camel! You need not go back to the town. You need not carry heavy loads or lead your life as a man’s slave. This forest is full ____ soft grass and lush green trees with tender leaves. You may live here.” The camel happily agreed. The camel thought that there was no danger to his life and so he began to lead a happy life in the forest. One day, a huge elephant came into the forest. There was a terrible fight between the lion and the elephant. The lion was badly wounded. Now he could not even walk on his own. The lion said to his servants, “Bring an animal here so that I can kill him and we can all eat him us.”The servants searched all over the forest. But they could not find even one animal who was silly enough to be the lion’s prey willingly. The fox went to the lion and said, “Master, we searched all over the forest, but we could not find any animal. If you agree, we can kill the camel and satisfy our hunger.” The lion was furious to hear this. “Shame on you! You sinner!” roared the lion angrily. “If you dare to utter these words again, I will kill you. How can I kill the camel whom I have promised safety?” The clever fox said, “I agree that it is a sin to kill the one whom you have promised safety. But master, if the loyal camel offers himself as your prey, it is not a sin.” The hungry lion said, “In that case, you may do as you wish.”The fox quickly went and whispered to other servants something in their ears. He then went to the camel and said, “Our king is wounded and he cannot walk. He cannot even hunt his prey. He is starving to death. We are going to see him. Please come with us.” All of them went to the lion. The crow said, “Master, we could not find prey for you. So I request you to kill me and satisfy your hunger. This sacrifice will find me a place in heaven. It is said that the one who laid down his life for his master goes to heaven.” Hearing this, the fox, “Even if the master kills you, he cannot fill his stomach by eating a small bird like you.” Then bowing to the lion, he said, “Master, please kill me and eat me up.”The leopard at once interrupted and said, “No, master. The fox belongs to the family of dogs. Besides, he has nails on his paws. It is not right to kill an animal with nails.” Bowing to the lion, the leopard said, “Master, kill me, eat me up and assure my place in heaven.” Hearing these animals, the camel thought, “Each of these animals offered himself as the lion’s prey, but the lion did not kill anyone. Now let me also offer to lay down my life so that I can become the lion’s pet.”The camel said to the leopard, “Friend, you are right. But ever you have nails on your paws. So how can the master eat you?” The camel then came forward.He stood before the lion, bowed to him and said, “O master! You may kill me and satisfy your hunger. This will assure my place in heaven.” As the camel was saying this, the leopard and the fox pounced on him. The camel fell down and tossed about with pain. At last, the innocent camel died.Choose the Synonym of the word 'tragic'.- a)appalling

But master, if the loyal camel offers himself as your prey, it is not a sin.” The hungry lion said, “In that case, you may do as you wish.”
The fox quickly went and whispered to other servants something in their ears. He then went to the camel and said, “Our king is wounded and he cannot walk. He cannot even hunt his prey. He is starving to death. We are going to see him. Please come with us.” All of them went to the lion. The crow said, “Master, we could not find prey for you. So I request you to kill me and satisfy your hunger. This sacrifice will find me a place in heaven. It is said that the one who laid down his life for his master goes to heaven.” Hearing this, the fox, “Even if the master kills you, he cannot fill his stomach by eating a small bird like you.” Then bowing to the lion, he said, “Master, please kill me and eat me up.”
The leopard at once interrupted and said, “No, master. The fox belongs to the family of dogs. Besides, he has nails on his paws. It is not right to kill an animal with nails.” Bowing to the lion, the leopard said, “Master, kill me, eat me up and assure my place in heaven.” Hearing these animals, the camel thought, “Each of these animals offered himself as the lion’s prey, but the lion did not kill anyone. Now let me also offer to lay down my life so that I can become the lion’s pet.”
The camel said to the leopard, “Friend, you are right. But ever you have nails on your paws. So how can the master eat you?” The camel then came forward.
He stood before the lion, bowed to him and said, “O master! You may kill me and satisfy your hunger. This will assure my place in heaven.” As the camel was saying this, the leopard and the fox pounced on him. The camel fell down and tossed about with pain. At last, the innocent camel died.

To find the profit earned by the shopkeeper, we need to understand the given information and calculate the relevant values.
Given:
Ratio of marked price to cost price = 6:5
Discount offered by shopkeeper = 8%
Difference between selling price and marked price = Rs. 2400
Step 1: Calculating the Cost Price (CP)
Let's assume the cost price of the mobile is 'x'.
According to the given ratio, the marked price will be 6x and the cost price will be 5x.
Step 2: Calculating the Selling Price (SP)
The shopkeeper offers a discount of 8% on the marked price.
So, the selling price will be 92% of the marked price.
Selling Price (SP) = 92% of Marked Price (MP)
SP = (92/100) * 6x
SP = 552x/100
Step 3: Calculating the Profit
Profit (P) = Selling Price (SP) - Cost Price (CP)
P = (552x/100) - 5x
P = (552x - 500x)/100
P = 52x/100
P = 13x/25
Step 4: Using the Difference between Selling Price and Marked Price
Given that the difference between the selling price and marked price is Rs. 2400.
Selling Price - Marked Price = Rs. 2400
(552x/100) - 6x = 2400
552x - 600x = 240000
-48x = 240000
x = -240000/-48
x = 5000
Step 5: Calculating the Profit Earned
Substituting the value of x in the profit equation:
P = 13x/25
P = 13 * 5000 / 25
P = 2600
Therefore, the profit earned by the shopkeeper is Rs. 2600.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
Given:
Ratio of marked price to cost price = 6:5
Discount offered by shopkeeper = 8%
Difference between selling price and marked price = Rs. 2400
Step 1: Calculating the Cost Price (CP)
Let's assume the cost price of the mobile is 'x'.
According to the given ratio, the marked price will be 6x and the cost price will be 5x.
Step 2: Calculating the Selling Price (SP)
The shopkeeper offers a discount of 8% on the marked price.
So, the selling price will be 92% of the marked price.
Selling Price (SP) = 92% of Marked Price (MP)
SP = (92/100) * 6x
SP = 552x/100
Step 3: Calculating the Profit
Profit (P) = Selling Price (SP) - Cost Price (CP)
P = (552x/100) - 5x
P = (552x - 500x)/100
P = 52x/100
P = 13x/25
Step 4: Using the Difference between Selling Price and Marked Price
Given that the difference between the selling price and marked price is Rs. 2400.
Selling Price - Marked Price = Rs. 2400
(552x/100) - 6x = 2400
552x - 600x = 240000
-48x = 240000
x = -240000/-48
x = 5000
Step 5: Calculating the Profit Earned
Substituting the value of x in the profit equation:
P = 13x/25
P = 13 * 5000 / 25
P = 2600
Therefore, the profit earned by the shopkeeper is Rs. 2600.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.

In part (A) of the sentence, the usage of 'later' is incorrect Instead, use 'latest'.
'Later' is an adverb that means 'situation that is after the one that you have been talking about or after the present one.' Whereas, 'Latest' is an adjective that means 'something that is the most recent thing of its kind.'
Let's see some examples-
Latest reports say another five people have been killed.
He resigned ten years later.
So the correct sentence is→ The latest version of Google’s plugin TV gadget is pretty much indispensable for Christmas.
Hence, the correct option is (A).

Clothing brands - Zara, Adidas, Reebok, Khadi, Gucci, H&M, Raymonds, Manyavar and Puma.
Arrangement -
Two stacks with different number of clothes i.e; four and five are kept in a room.
Stack A contains four clothing brands and stack B contains five clothing brands.
Stack A is to the west of Stack B.
The bottommost clothing brand is numbered as one, the brand above it as two and so on.
If` Brand A is just above or second to the above of another brand then they both must be in the same stack until and unless stated otherwise.
If first brand is to the north east of second brand then first brand must be above the brand, which is in east of Second brand.
1) Gucci is the topmost brand.
2) Adidas brand is in south west of Gucci i.e; Gucci is in brand 5 stack B.
3) Adidas is above Zara but not in prime numbered brand i.e; brand number 4.
4) Zara and Adidas are in same stack.
5) Raymonds is an odd numbered brand.
6) Raymonds is not just below H&M.
7) H&M is two brands above Manyavar and both are in stack B. Manyavar is not in the bottommost stack.
8) Puma and Khadi are same numbered brands, This eliminates Case 1.
9) Khadi and Reebok are not in same stack. The number of brands between Khadi and Reebok is zero. This eliminates case II. Also, Khadi has to be in stack B since Khadi and Reebok are in different Stacks.
Hence, Puma is kept in Brand 3 stack A.

Amal alone complete whole work = 4/3 * 45 = 60 days
PAvithra alone complete work = 120 days
A + B together complete the work in 15 days is = 15/60 + 15/120
= 45/120 = ⅜
Remaining work = 1 – 3/8 = ⅝
Sheela + Divya together can complete 5/8 of the work in 45 days
Sheela + Divya together can complete whole work in 8/5 * 45 = 72 days
Divya alone complete 50% of the work in 72 days
Divya alone complete whole work = 100/50 * 72 = 144 days

Understanding the Arrangement
To solve who is facing U, we need to visualize the seating arrangement based on the provided clues.
Row Structure
- Row 1: 5 persons (facing South)
- Row 2: 6 persons (3 facing North, 3 facing South)
- Row 3: 3 persons (2 facing North, 1 facing South)
Key Positions
1. S and L: There are four persons between S and L.
2. S is facing P: This means P is in Row 2 or Row 3 since Row 1 faces South.
3. N and P: Two persons are between N and P.
4. L and R: L is second to the left of R, indicating their positions in Row 2.
5. M's Position: M is at one end, facing R.
6. Z's Relation to S and R: Z's position with respect to S is the same as R’s position with respect to L.
7. U's Relation to Z: U’s position with respect to Z is similar to Q's position to M.
8. V and T: V is facing X and is to the immediate right of T.
9. W's Position: W is not a neighbor of N.
10. Y's Position: Y is one of the persons in the rows.
Identifying U's Position
From these clues, we can piece together the following:
- M is at one end (Row 2).
- R must be positioned such that L is second to the left.
- Since W is not a neighbor of N, W must be positioned away from N.
- By deducing the relationships and placements, we find that U ends up in Row 3.
Who Faces U?
Since U is in Row 3 and the only people facing Row 3 are in Row 1, the person facing U in Row 1 is W.
Therefore, the answer to the question "Who is facing U?" is:
Answer: W
This matches with option 'A'.
To solve who is facing U, we need to visualize the seating arrangement based on the provided clues.

The least possible Venn diagram is given below
Conclusions:
I. All ocean are sky is a possibility - False (only sky are ocean which means all oceans are sky. So, all oceans are sky is definitely true. When any conclusion is definitely true then its possibility is always false.)
II. Some water are sea is a possibility - True (As only a few water are sky and Some sky are sea)
III. No Ocean are sea – True (As Only sky are ocean which means all oceans are sky but ocean can never have any positive relation with any other element. So, no ocean are sea is definitely true.)

- Since the total weight of top and bottom boxes is 30 kg, the weight of the box below D must be 30 - 14 = 16 kg.
- This leads to a weight of 2 kg for the box containing Mangoes (16 + 14 = 30).
Final Answer:
The weight of the box that is kept immediately below box D is 16 kg. Therefore, option A - 7 kg is incorrect.
- Box D is five boxes above the box containing Mangoes.
- The difference in weight between the box containing Mangoes and the box below it is 14 kg.
- The total weight of boxes at the top and bottom is 30 kg.
Deductions:
- Since the total weight of top and bottom boxes is 30 kg, the weight of the box below D must be 30 - 14 = 16 kg.
- This leads to a weight of 2 kg for the box containing Mangoes (16 + 14 = 30).
Final Answer:
The weight of the box that is kept immediately below box D is 16 kg. Therefore, option A - 7 kg is incorrect.

Let CP of the Chair = ‘x’ rupees
So, CP of the Almirah = (x + 20000) rupees
And CP of the Sofa = [(x + 20000)/2] rupees
Let CP of the Table = ‘5y’ rupees
So, CP of the Bed = 160% of 5y = ‘8y’ rupees
And MP of the Bed = (8y + 4000) rupees
Since the Chair is marked up by 20%.
MP of the chair = 120% of x = ‘1.2x’ rupees
Since MP of the table is Rs.6000 more than that of the chair.
MP of the Table = (1.2x + 6000) rupees
Since the table is marked up by 8%.
So,
1.2x + 6000 = 5y * (108/100)
1.2x + 6000 = 27y/5
6x + 30000 = 27y
2x + 10000 = 9y ------(1)
Since MP of the Almirah is Rs.10000 more than MP of the Bed.
So, MP of the Almirah = (8y + 4000 + 10000) rupees
Since MP of the Almirah is Rs.6000 more than its CP.
So,
8y + 4000 + 10000 – x – 20000 = 6000
8y – x = 12000
x = 8y – 12000 -------(2)
From equations (1) and (2):
2 * (8y – 12000) + 10000 = 9y
16y – 24000 + 10000 = 9y
y = 2000, x = 4000
CP of the Almirah = Rs.24000
MP of the Almirah = Rs.30000
SP of the Almirah = 90% of 30000 = Rs.27000
Profit received on the Almirah = 27000 – 24000 = Rs.3000
CP of the Sofa = Rs.12000
MP of the Sofa = Rs.16000
SP of the Sofa = 93.75% of 16000 = Rs.15000
Profit received on the Sofa = 15000 – 12000 = Rs.3000
Required ratio = 3000: 3000 = 1: 1

Nine persons- A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I are sitting in the linear row.
Five of them are facing north and the rest of them is facing south. Also, their age lies between 19- 47 and none of them has the same age. Not more than two adjacent persons are facing the same direction.
1) B faces north direction. I sit either immediate left or third to the right of B.
2) I and B are facing the opposite direction. Only one person is sitting between B and D, both are facing the opposite direction.
3) The number of persons sitting to the left of D is the same as to the left of C. D sits at the extreme end.
From point 3 we can say that there are three possibilities so we take 3 cases.
4) Only two persons are sitting between the one whose age is 37 and C.
5) The immediate neighbors of I are facing the same direction. A is facing the same direction as I.
6) A sits immediate right of H, neither of them is adjacent to C nor B. H and D are facing the opposite direction.
From point 5, case 2 will be eliminated. And from point 6, case 3 will be eliminated because we cannot place them according to the statement. So we will apply these statements to case 1 only. As A is facing the same direction as I, there is only one place left for A and H.
7) F neither sits adjacent to A nor H. F and the one whose age is 19 are not sitting adjacent to each other.
8) The one whose age is 47 sits third to the left of E.
9) The one whose age is 47 sits to the right of A.
Now it is given that five of them face north and not more than two adjacent persons are facing the same direction. So the seat between C and H cannot face north.
10) The one whose age is 45 sits immediate right of the one whose age is 38.
11) The age of I is 6 more than the age of E.
12) The age of B is one year more than A. The age of B is twice the age of C.
The one whose age is 45 and the one whose age is 38 cannot be the age of E, I and D because the difference between 45 and 38 is not 6 and twice of D is more than 47. It is also given that B’s age is 1 more than A, therefore 38 and 45 will be the age of B and F respectively. C’s age will be 19.
13) E’s age is an even number which is two years more than D's age.
14) The age difference between B and A is the same as between C and D.
15) H’s age is twice of D's age.
From point 14 it is clear that the age of D will be 20 because it cannot be 18 (Since the age range is 19-47). Therefore E’s age will be 22 and H’s age will be 40. and after these only G is left whose age will be 47. And I’s age will be 28.
Therefore the final arrangement will be,
sum of the age of H and B is 78.

Ishita Nair answered |
Explanation:
Identifying pairs of letters:
- To find pairs of letters in the word "INFORMATION" which have as many letters between them as in the English alphabetical series, we need to consider the letters with 3 letters between them in both forward and backward directions.
Calculating pairs:
- The pairs that meet this criteria in the word "INFORMATION" are:
1. I and L (3 letters between them in forward direction: J, K, L)
2. N and K (3 letters between them in forward direction: O, P, Q)
3. R and O (3 letters between them in forward direction: S, T, U)
4. T and Q (3 letters between them in forward direction: U, V, W)
Counting pairs:
- There are a total of 4 pairs of letters in the word "INFORMATION" that have as many letters between them as in the English alphabetical series.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C. Four.

Kavya Saxena answered |
Let's look at the meaning of the answer
Inane: silly; stupid
The first sentence talks about how a strict teacher gave her students a warning against asking certain types of questions.
It is likely that the teacher asked them to not ask silly questions as they would waste the time of the teacher and the class.
The second sentence talks about how Michael's had a plan to dance in order to worry less about his problems and this idea came off in a certain way.
Unless the problem could be solved by dancing, it would seem stupid and/or silly to dance instead of trying to solve the problem.

Rohan Sengupta answered |
Given
Number of boys in the class = 17
Each girl gets = 6 chocolates
Each boy gets = 4 chocolates
The average number of chocolates distributed per head = 5 chocolates
Concept used:
(Total number of chocolates distributed = Number of students × Number of chocolates distributed per head)
Let the number of girls in the class be x
Each girl gets 6 chocolates
⇒ Total Number of chocolate Girl gets = 6x
Now, the number of boys in the class = 17
Each boy gets 4 chocolates
⇒ Total number of chocolate Boy gets = 17 × 4
⇒ 68
Total number of chocolates distributed in the class = 6x + 68 ---- (i)
Now, the average number of chocolate distributed per head in the class = 5
Total number of students in the class = number of boys + number of girls
⇒ Total number of students in the class = 17 + x
(Total number of chocolates distributed = Number of students × Number of chocolates distributed per head)
⇒ Total number of chocolates distributed = (17 + x) × 5 ----(ii)
Now, equating (i) and equation (ii)
⇒ 6x + 68 = (17 + x) × 5
⇒ 6x + 68 = 85 + 5x
⇒ x = 17
Number of girls = 17
Hence, the correct option is (C).

The phrase that can connect both the given sentences and imply the same meaning is only 1.
- 'Because':(conjunction) for the reason that; since. The sentence clearly says that the government is set to digitize India. So, we need a cause and effect-based connector. Clearly, the above synthesis is both grammatically and contextually correct.
'Contrastingly':(adverb) to compare two people or things in order to show the differences between them. Clearly, no comparison is being shown in the above sentences. Hence, this option is ruled out.
'Striking': attracting attention or notice through unusual qualities. This phrase is incorrect and cannot form a contextually and grammatically correct sentence as none of the sentences shows/ indicates anything seeking attention.
The sentence after using the phrase is:
Various factors including service quality and grievance redressals are being taken care of because MEITY is all set to form a strong base in India for digitized payment.
Hence, the correct option is (A).

As the bold part contains a verb that is used for the " the complex nature" and it is singular so the used verb should also be in the singular form.
We need to replace the bold part with option (A) for making the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
The correct sentence will be: The complex nature of the modern industrial civilization and explosion of knowledge has made the education process very complicated.
Hence, the correct option is (A).
