Ishan Choudhury answered |
Let A and B be the investment made by Arjun and Bikram respectively.
24A/16B = 12600/11200
12A/8B = 126/112
A/B = (126 × 8)/(12 × 112) = 3/4
Therefore, investment of Arjun = 3/7 × 56000 = 24000
So, the investment made by Bikram = 32000
Let, Chandan invested for C months
So, the ratio of Arjun and Chandan’s profit
(24000 × 24)/(64000 × C) = 12600/16800
C = 12 Months
Hence correct answer is option E.

Given information:
- The table is sold at a 40% discount on the marked price (M.P).
- The cost price (C.P) of the table is Rs. 2400.
- The seller expects a profit of 25%.
To find:
The marked price (M.P) of the table.
Solution:
Step 1: Find the selling price (S.P) of the table.
The selling price is given by the formula:
S.P = C.P + Profit
Since the profit is 25% of the cost price, we can calculate the profit as:
Profit = (25/100) * C.P
Substituting the value of C.P = Rs. 2400, we get:
Profit = (25/100) * 2400 = Rs. 600
Therefore, the selling price (S.P) of the table is:
S.P = C.P + Profit = 2400 + 600 = Rs. 3000
Step 2: Find the M.P of the table.
The selling price is given at a 40% discount on the M.P. This means the selling price is 60% of the M.P.
Let the marked price (M.P) of the table be x.
Then, 60% of x is equal to Rs. 3000.
Mathematically, we can write:
(60/100) * x = 3000
Simplifying the equation, we get:
x = (3000 * 100) / 60 = Rs. 5000
Therefore, the marked price (M.P) of the table is Rs. 5000.
Conclusion:
Hence, the correct answer is option 'B' - Rs. 5000.
- The table is sold at a 40% discount on the marked price (M.P).
- The cost price (C.P) of the table is Rs. 2400.
- The seller expects a profit of 25%.
To find:
The marked price (M.P) of the table.
Solution:
Step 1: Find the selling price (S.P) of the table.
The selling price is given by the formula:
S.P = C.P + Profit
Since the profit is 25% of the cost price, we can calculate the profit as:
Profit = (25/100) * C.P
Substituting the value of C.P = Rs. 2400, we get:
Profit = (25/100) * 2400 = Rs. 600
Therefore, the selling price (S.P) of the table is:
S.P = C.P + Profit = 2400 + 600 = Rs. 3000
Step 2: Find the M.P of the table.
The selling price is given at a 40% discount on the M.P. This means the selling price is 60% of the M.P.
Let the marked price (M.P) of the table be x.
Then, 60% of x is equal to Rs. 3000.
Mathematically, we can write:
(60/100) * x = 3000
Simplifying the equation, we get:
x = (3000 * 100) / 60 = Rs. 5000
Therefore, the marked price (M.P) of the table is Rs. 5000.
Conclusion:
Hence, the correct answer is option 'B' - Rs. 5000.

Understanding the Error in the Sentence
In the given sentence, we need to identify the part that is grammatically incorrect. Let's break down the marked parts:
Analysis of Each Part:
- (A) Langdon recalled the first time he was fooled by senses when his young mind
- This part is correct as it sets the context correctly.
- (B) had been incapable of accepting that he is not in a harbor at all, but in fact
- Here lies the error. The tense is inconsistent. "had been" suggests past perfect, but "is" is present tense. It should be "was" to maintain parallel structure.
- (C) he was in a cavernous underground theater that had
- This part is also correct as it uses the past tense consistently.
- (D) been flooded with water to create illusion for the
- This part is grammatically correct as well.
- (E) classic Disney World ride Pirates of the Caribbean.
- This part is correct and gives the specific context needed.
Conclusion:
The error in part (B) arises from the inconsistent use of tenses. To correct it, "is" should be changed to "was" for consistency with the past perfect tense established earlier in the sentence. Thus, the grammatically incorrect part is (B).
Remember to focus on tense consistency when analyzing sentences, as it is a common area where errors can occur.

1) Four persons are sitting between the tallest person and the person who earns the most.
(It is clear from the given data that N earns the most.)
2) P, an immediate neighbour of N, is sitting on one of the extreme ends.
(Implies, N is sitting on the second seat from one of the ends.)
3) P is 11 cm shorter than the person who is sitting third to his right.
(Implies, P must be sitting on the leftmost seat and N must be sitting on the second seat from the left end. It further implies that the tallest person is sitting on the second seat from the right end.)
4) The highest-paid person is 2 cm shorter than the person sitting to his immediate left and their average height is 140 cm.
(Clearly, N is the highest-paid person and P is sitting to his immediate left. It further implies that the sum of their heights is 280 cm and P is taller than N by 2 cm. Hence, P is 141 cm and N is 139 cm tall. Also, according to statement 3, the person sitting third to the right of P is 152 cm tall.)
5) The tallest person is 28 cm taller than the person sitting third to his left.
(We know from the first statement that the tallest person is sitting fifth to the right of N. The person sitting third to the left of the tallest person is 152 cm tall. Hence, the tallest person is 180 cm tall.)
6) R is sitting to the immediate left of the person who earns 15 lakhs per annum.
(Implies, R is sitting to the immediate left of M.)
7) The person sitting fourth to the left of R is 15 cm shorter than him.
(It is only possible if we place R on the second seat from the right end. It implies, R is the tallest person and M is sitting to the immediate right of R. Also, the person sitting fourth to the left of R is 165 cm tall.)
8) More than one person is sitting between R and S. The height of S is more than 160 cm.
(There is only one way for this to be possible as the height of S is more than 160 cm i.e. S must be sitting to the immediate right of N.)
9) The third highest-paid person is 23 cm shorter than the person sitting to his immediate right.
(Clearly, Q is the third highest-paid person.)
10) Only one person is sitting between Q and the person who earns the least.
(Clearly, O earns the least.)
11) O is taller than S.
(Clearly, we cannot place O to the immediate right of S as O is taller than S, implies, Q is sitting to the immediate right of S and O is sitting to the immediate left of R. Also, now that we know that the height of Q is 152 cm, implies, the height of the person sitting to the immediate right of Q is 175 cm. Now, that only L is left to be placed in the row, we can place him between Q as it is the only position left.)
12) M is 3 cm taller than the person who earns 16 lakh per annum.
(Clearly, S earns 16 lakhs per annum and his height is 165 cm, implies, the height of M is 168 cm.)
13) The person who earns the least is 3 cm shorter than the person sitting to his immediate left.
(Clearly, O earns the least and he is 3 cm shorter than L whose height is 175 cm. Implies, the height of O is 172 cm.)
Clearly, L is sitting to the immediate right of Q whose height is 152 cm and the annual salary of L is 11 lakh.

The given passage is about the history of Kolkata.
Let us read the following sentence carefully: The discovery and archaeological study of chandraketugarh, 35 kilometers north of Kolkata, provide ____(1)____ that....
From the given sentence, we can understand that the discovery of Chandraketugarh is proof of something.
The meaning of the word 'evidence' is 'proof' or 'confirmation'.
Thus, the correct word for blank number 1 is 'evidence'.
So the correct sentence is: The discovery and archaeological study of chandraketugarh, 35 kilometers north of Kolkata, provide evidence that.

Understanding the Code for "Related"
To decode the word “Related” according to the provided coding rules, we need to follow the steps systematically.
Step 1: Identify Letters
- First letter: R (consonant)
- Last letter: D (consonant)
Since both the first and last letters are consonants, we apply rule IV, which states that even numbers in the code should be replaced with ^.
Step 2: Code Each Letter
Now, let’s assign codes to each letter in "Related":
- R: 5 (R is coded as 5)
- E: @ (E is a vowel, coded as @)
- L: 9 (L is coded as 9)
- A: $ (A is a vowel, coded as $)
- T: 7 (T is coded as 7)
- E: @ (E is a vowel, coded as @)
- D: 3 (D is coded as 3)
So, the initial code is: 5 @ 9 $ 7 @ 3
Step 3: Apply the Coding Rules
Now, let's transform the code according to the rules:
- The original code: 5 @ 9 $ 7 @ 3
- According to rule IV, we replace even numbers. Here, 2 (from @) is not an even number, 9 is not even, 7 is not even, and 3 is not even. Thus, there are no changes.
The even numbers in the code remain the same, so the code remains as 5 @ 9 $ 7 @ 3.
Step 4: Final Code
Now we combine the codes of the letters:
- 5 # 9 @ 7 # 3
The final code for "Related" is 5#9@7#3, which corresponds to option C.

First row – 15 10 15
According to step 1: “15 10” = 15 × 10 = 150
According to step 2: “120 15” = 150 – 15 = 135
105 is the resultant of first row.
Second row – 35 45 13
According to step 5: “35 45” = 35 + 45 = 80
According to step 3: “80 13” = 80 + 13 = 93
93 is the resultant of second row.
Addition of resultant of two rows = 135 + 93 = 228

As we know that,
Profit is directly proportional to investment.
Ratio of total investment of H, K and Q of 1 year is
(7500 × 4 + 6000 × 8) : (6500 × 4 + 8000 × 8) : (12500 × 4)
78000 : 90000 : 50000
39 : 45 : 25
Hence correct answer is option A.

Analysis:
Statement Analysis:
- Some bacteria are virus
- No virus is malaria
- Only a few mosquitoes are bacteria
Conclusion Analysis:
I. No malaria is bacteria
II. Some virus is malaria
III. Some mosquitoes are not bacteria
Explanation:
Conclusion I: No malaria is bacteria
- Since no virus is malaria and some bacteria are virus, it is logical to conclude that no malaria is bacteria. This conclusion follows from the given statements.
Conclusion II: Some virus is malaria
- This conclusion cannot be logically inferred from the given statements. The second statement clearly states that no virus is malaria, so it contradicts this conclusion.
Conclusion III: Some mosquitoes are not bacteria
- Since only a few mosquitoes are bacteria, it is logical to conclude that some mosquitoes are not bacteria. This conclusion also follows from the given statements.
Therefore, only conclusion I (No malaria is bacteria) and conclusion III (Some mosquitoes are not bacteria) logically follow from the given statements. Hence, the correct answer is option 'B'.

Correct Option: (D)
Observing the sentence, we see that “actors” and “other” do not make any sense at (A). Only “wielded” fits at (A).
This eliminates option A and option B.
“Actors” fits perfectly at (B). There is no need to shift it.
“Other” fits at (C) aptly.
Thus, the correct arrangement becomes: CBA

For Word Arrangement: The difference between the place value of the first and last letter in the word as per alphabetical series, depends on the resultant the words are arranged in the ascending order from the left end.
For Number Arrangement: The sum of the place value (as per the alphabetical series) of the opposite letters of the exact middle two letters of each word.
for the last step, in each number, find the sum of the unit digit of that number and the square of the difference between the digits within the number. Then arrange the final resultant in ascending order from the left to right.
E.g) SERVER→ (R + V) in reverse order→ (9 + 5) = 14→ 4 - 1 = 32 = 9 + 4(unit digit) = 13

Second row - 45 33 3
According to step 5: “45 33” = 45 + 33 = 78
According to step 3: “78 3” = 78 + 3 = 81
81 is the resultant of second row.
First row – 81 6 15
According to step 1: “81 6” = 81 × 6 = 486
According to step 2: “486 15” = 486 – 15 = 471
471 is the resultant of first row.
Multiplication of resultant of two rows = 471 × 81 = 38151

We have:
- S was born in November 2018.
- Three persons were born between W and X whereas both of them were born in different years.
- Neither W nor X was born adjacent to S.
- X was born in a month which has an odd number of days.
That means, in case (1) X was born in January 2018, and in case (2) X was born in August 2015.
Based on the above information we have:
Again, we have:
- O was born three persons after T, who was not born in the same month as W and S were born.
- Neither X nor R was born in the same month as O.
That means, in case (1) & case (2) T was born in January 2015, and in case (1a) T was born in December 2015.
Based on the above information we have:
Again, we have:
- The number of persons born between X and R is one less than the number of persons born after P.
- R was born in 2015 and was not born in the month which has an even number of days.
That means, in case (1) R was born in August 2015, and in case (2) R was born in December 2015, case (1a) is not valid.
Based on the above information we have:
Case (1a) is not valid as R and O were not born in the same month.
Again, we have:
- Two persons were born between U and V.
- Neither U nor Q was born in the same month as R.
That means, in case (1) U was born in December 2015, case (2) is not valid.
Based on the above information we have:
Case (2) is not valid as the number of persons born between U and R is same as the number of persons born between V and Q.

Introduction:
In this question, we are asked to find the opposite word of "Ventured". To solve this, we need to understand the meaning of the word "Ventured" and then find its opposite.
Meaning of Ventured:
The word "Ventured" is a verb that means to take a risk or undertake a daring or speculative action. It refers to the act of engaging in something new or uncertain, often with the possibility of success or failure.
Opposite of Ventured:
The opposite word of "Ventured" is "Refrained". Here's why:
Explanation:
1. Refrained:
- The word "Refrained" is a verb that means to abstain or hold back from doing something.
- When someone refrains from doing something, they choose not to take a risk or engage in a particular action.
- It is the opposite of venturing, as it involves avoiding or abstaining from activities that involve risk or uncertainty.
2. Nudge, Origin, Company, None of these:

Explanation of the Fifth Sentence
- Sentence B fits logically after establishing the impact of God on morality (D, G, H).
- It suggests that when the concept of God fades, people will feel confusion and panic – a natural reaction to losing a long-standing anchor.
- Following this, Sentence C directly addresses Nietzsche’s perspective on this event as both a danger and an opportunity.
Thus, the fifth sentence in the correct order is C, emphasizing Nietzsche’s dual view of the implications of God's death.

Solution:
Let's assume the average expenditure of all 13 persons is 'x'.
According to the given information,
11 persons spent Rs. 25 each over their meals. So, the total expenditure of these 11 persons = 11 * Rs. 25 = Rs. 275.
The other 2 persons spent collectively Rs. 50 more than the average expenditure of all 13 persons. Therefore, their total expenditure = x + Rs. 50.
Total money spent by all 13 persons = Total expenditure of 11 persons + Total expenditure of 2 persons
= Rs. 275 + (x + Rs. 50)
= Rs. 275 + x + Rs. 50
= Rs. (275 + x + 50)
= Rs. (325 + x)
We know that the total money spent by all 13 persons is equal to the total money spent by them individually.
So, Rs. (325 + x) = 13x
325 = 13x - x
325 = 12x
x = 325/12
x = Rs. 27.08 (approx.)
Therefore, the average expenditure of all 13 persons is approximately Rs. 27.08.
Now, let's calculate the total money spent by all 13 persons.
Total money spent by all 13 persons = Total expenditure of 11 persons + Total expenditure of 2 persons
= Rs. 275 + (Rs. 27.08 + Rs. 50)
= Rs. 275 + Rs. 77.08
= Rs. 352.08
Hence, the total money spent by all 13 persons is Rs. 352.08.
The given options are:
a) Rs. 284.02
b) Rs. 484.02
c) Rs. 384.02
d) Rs. 584.02
e) None of these
None of the given options match the calculated total money spent by all 13 persons (Rs. 352.08).
Therefore, none of the given options is the correct answer.
Note: The correct answer may not be available in the given options.
Let's assume the average expenditure of all 13 persons is 'x'.
According to the given information,
11 persons spent Rs. 25 each over their meals. So, the total expenditure of these 11 persons = 11 * Rs. 25 = Rs. 275.
The other 2 persons spent collectively Rs. 50 more than the average expenditure of all 13 persons. Therefore, their total expenditure = x + Rs. 50.
Total money spent by all 13 persons = Total expenditure of 11 persons + Total expenditure of 2 persons
= Rs. 275 + (x + Rs. 50)
= Rs. 275 + x + Rs. 50
= Rs. (275 + x + 50)
= Rs. (325 + x)
We know that the total money spent by all 13 persons is equal to the total money spent by them individually.
So, Rs. (325 + x) = 13x
325 = 13x - x
325 = 12x
x = 325/12
x = Rs. 27.08 (approx.)
Therefore, the average expenditure of all 13 persons is approximately Rs. 27.08.
Now, let's calculate the total money spent by all 13 persons.
Total money spent by all 13 persons = Total expenditure of 11 persons + Total expenditure of 2 persons
= Rs. 275 + (Rs. 27.08 + Rs. 50)
= Rs. 275 + Rs. 77.08
= Rs. 352.08
Hence, the total money spent by all 13 persons is Rs. 352.08.
The given options are:
a) Rs. 284.02
b) Rs. 484.02
c) Rs. 384.02
d) Rs. 584.02
e) None of these
None of the given options match the calculated total money spent by all 13 persons (Rs. 352.08).
Therefore, none of the given options is the correct answer.

Ishan Choudhury answered |
As in 1st case problem is developed after travelling 135 km and in 2nd case problem is developed after travelling 210 km( i.e 135+75). It means due to difference in speed of truck in travelling 75 km, truck take 20 min. less.
Let original speed of truck be ‘5 x’
Therefore, former speed of truck be ‘3 x’
According to question,
x = 30
Therefore, original speed of truck = 5 x = 5 X 30 = 150 km/h
Hence correct answer is option C.

In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between “Strong” arguments and “Weak” arguments in so far as they relate to the question. “Strong” arguments are those which are both important and directly related to the question. “Weak” arguments are those which are of minor importance and also may not be directly related to the question or may be related to a trivial aspect of the question.
Instructions: Each question below is followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a strong argument and which is a weak argument. Give answer
Statement: Should the Indian government launch community-based programme with focus on the mother’s care?
Arguments:
I. Yes, the mother plays a big role in child’s good health and if the programme is community-based it will have immense impact on the poor nutritional condition of the child in India
II. No, it will harm the secular status of the country.
a)
If neither I nor II is strong.
b)
If only argument II is strong.
c)
If either I or II is strong.
d)
If only argument I is strong.
e)
If both I and II are strong.

Only I is strong because nutritional condition of a child is directly related with the role of a mother and if the programme is community-based its result will be remarkable. II is a weak argument because it is a misinterpretation of the work ‘community’.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) provides IP address to the client.
DHCP, which stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, is a network protocol that enables devices to obtain IP addresses and other network configuration parameters automatically. It is commonly used in local area networks (LANs) and is essential for the proper functioning of network devices.
Key Points:
- DHCP provides IP addresses to clients automatically.
- It eliminates the need for manual configuration of IP addresses on each device.
- DHCP allows for efficient and centralized management of IP addresses in a network.
- It ensures that devices on the network are assigned unique IP addresses to avoid conflicts.
- DHCP also provides other network configuration parameters, such as subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server addresses.
How DHCP works:
1. DHCP Discover: When a client device joins a network, it sends a DHCP Discover message to discover available DHCP servers on the network.
2. DHCP Offer: DHCP servers respond to the client's request with a DHCP Offer message, offering an available IP address from its pool.
3. DHCP Request: The client selects one of the offered IP addresses and sends a DHCP Request message to the chosen DHCP server, requesting the lease for that IP address.
4. DHCP Acknowledge: The DHCP server acknowledges the client's request by sending a DHCP Acknowledge message, confirming the lease of the IP address and providing other network configuration parameters.
5. IP Address Lease: The client receives the IP address and configuration parameters from the DHCP server and uses them to configure its network connection.
6. Lease Renewal: The client periodically contacts the DHCP server to renew the lease of the IP address. If the lease expires or the client disconnects from the network, the IP address is released back to the DHCP server's pool for future use.
Advantages of DHCP:
- Simplifies network administration by automating IP address assignment.
- Reduces the chances of IP address conflicts.
- Enables efficient management of IP address allocation and configuration.
- Facilitates easy addition and removal of devices from the network.
In conclusion, DHCP provides IP addresses to clients, eliminating the need for manual configuration and enabling efficient management of network resources.

Understanding the Problem
To determine which statement is definitely true about the friends and their preferences, let's analyze the given clues systematically.
Key Information from Clues
- A lives 3 floors above B.
- No one lives on the highest (8th) or lowest (1st) floor.
- The person who likes snooker is on the top floor (8th floor).
- The person below C likes boxing.
- There is one person between H and D; H likes table-tennis and lives below D.
- Two people live between C and E; C is not a neighbor of B.
- E and B do not like frisbee.
- G is on the 3rd floor and likes volleyball.
Floor Assignments
1. G is confirmed on the 3rd floor.
2. Snooker is on the 8th floor.
3. Since A lives 3 floors above B, the only possible pairs are (B, A) on (4, 7) or (5, 8). However, since 8 is snooker, this limits A to the 7th floor and B to the 4th floor.
4. H must be on the 2nd floor (below D on the 5th floor).
5. C, therefore, must be on the 6th floor (boxing directly below).
6. E must be on the 1st floor, as it’s the only remaining floor.
Final Floor Assignment
- 1st: E
- 2nd: H (Table-tennis)
- 3rd: G (Volleyball)
- 4th: B
- 5th: D
- 6th: C (Boxing)
- 7th: A

Understanding the Problem:
- Let the total work be 1 unit.
- P and Q together complete the job in 20 days.
- After 8 days, P worked at 80% efficiency and Q worked at 2/3 efficiency.
- Remaining work was completed in 4 days more than the stipulated time.
Calculating Efficiencies:
- Since P and Q together complete the job in 20 days, their combined efficiency is 1/20.
- Let P's efficiency be x and Q's efficiency be y.
- Therefore, x + y = 1/20.
Calculating Work Done:
- In the first 8 days, P and Q together completed 8*(x+y) = 8/20 = 2/5 of the work.
- So, the remaining work is 1 - 2/5 = 3/5.
Calculating Work Done in the Next 4 Days:
- After 8 days, P worked at 80% efficiency and Q worked at 2/3 efficiency.
- So, the work done by P in the next 4 days = 4 * 0.8 * x = 3.2x.
- The work done by Q in the next 4 days = 4 * (2/3) * y = 8/3y.
- Combined work done by P and Q in the next 4 days = 3.2x + 8/3y.
Formulating Equations:
- Since the remaining work was completed in 4 days more than the stipulated time, the work done in the next 4 days equals the remaining work.
- Therefore, 3.2x + 8/3y = 3/5.
Solving the Equations:
- Substitute x + y = 1/20 into the equation 3.2x + 8/3y = 3/5.
- Solve for x and y.
- Once you have x and y, calculate how many more days the slower worker (Q) will take to complete the remaining work.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D' - 32 days.
- Let the total work be 1 unit.
- P and Q together complete the job in 20 days.
- After 8 days, P worked at 80% efficiency and Q worked at 2/3 efficiency.
- Remaining work was completed in 4 days more than the stipulated time.
Calculating Efficiencies:
- Since P and Q together complete the job in 20 days, their combined efficiency is 1/20.
- Let P's efficiency be x and Q's efficiency be y.
- Therefore, x + y = 1/20.
Calculating Work Done:
- In the first 8 days, P and Q together completed 8*(x+y) = 8/20 = 2/5 of the work.
- So, the remaining work is 1 - 2/5 = 3/5.
Calculating Work Done in the Next 4 Days:
- After 8 days, P worked at 80% efficiency and Q worked at 2/3 efficiency.
- So, the work done by P in the next 4 days = 4 * 0.8 * x = 3.2x.
- The work done by Q in the next 4 days = 4 * (2/3) * y = 8/3y.
- Combined work done by P and Q in the next 4 days = 3.2x + 8/3y.
Formulating Equations:
- Since the remaining work was completed in 4 days more than the stipulated time, the work done in the next 4 days equals the remaining work.
- Therefore, 3.2x + 8/3y = 3/5.
Solving the Equations:
- Substitute x + y = 1/20 into the equation 3.2x + 8/3y = 3/5.
- Solve for x and y.
- Once you have x and y, calculate how many more days the slower worker (Q) will take to complete the remaining work.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D' - 32 days.

Eight people: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H
Eight Colors: Purple, pink, red, green, blue, black, yellow, and orange
1) F sits third to the left of A, who likes purple, and the person who likes purple sits to the immediate left of G.
2) F and the person who likes blue has one person in between them.
3) C sits to the immediate right of E and neither of them likes blue.
4) E sits opposite the person who likes yellow and the person who likes yellow sits immediately next to the one who likes orange.
5) The one who likes green and B has two people sitting in between them.
6) C, F, and G, neither of them like green color.
7) D sits second to the right of H.
8) D does not like the yellow color.
This is not possible in cases II a and II b, therefore both the cases get eliminated.
9) The one who likes red sits to the immediate left of the one who likes black.
Clearly, "Black and C" does not belong to the group as all the other pairs sit adjacent to each other.

Seating Arrangement Analysis
To solve the arrangement of the eight friends and their respective salaries and ages, we need to analyze the given clues systematically.
Key Observations:
- B's Salary Relation: B's salary is double H's but less than D's, indicating H earns less than B.
- Seating Positions: A and H have a 90° angle between them, and B is 90° clockwise from A. F is 135° clockwise from B, and there is a 180° angle between B and a person aged 54.
- Age and Salary Relationships: The average of B and D’s ages equals G’s age. C’s salary is the third highest and is a multiple of its age.
- Divisibility Conditions: The salary of the person sitting second to the right of B is divisible by 4, and E's salary is divisible by 3 but not equal to 12000.
Detailed Conclusions:
- By piecing together the clues, we deduce that D has the highest salary of 70000, making D the third youngest at age 30.
- E, being the youngest, must thus be 20 years old and earns 15000.
- H must then be 26 years old with a salary of 12000, as B's salary doubles H's and must be less than D's.
- With C being the third highest salary, we find its values and ages align with the given conditions.
Correct Combination:
Thus, the combination D – 70000 – 30 fits perfectly as it meets all the constraints provided in the clues.
This thorough analysis confirms that the correct answer is option 'A'.

Study the following information and answer the given questions.Ten people live in three buildings namely X, Y and Z. Building X is immediate left of building Y whereas building Z is to the second right of building X. Not more than four people live in a building and immediate above or below implies that the person is not in the same building. O does not live in building Y but lives at floor number 5. P lives in that floor which is the sum of the floor number in which Q and O lives. The sum of floor number in which R and M live is 3 and both live in different building. The sum of the number of the floor in which M and S live is equal to the floor number in which N live. M lives in the even numbered floor.

Understanding the Problem
To determine who lives on an even-numbered floor, let's analyze the given information step-by-step.
Buildings and Floor Arrangement
- Buildings: X, Y, Z
- Building X is to the immediate left of Y, and Z is the second right of X.
- O lives on floor 5 (not in Y), and Q lives at the topmost floor in Y.
Floor Assignments
1. O's Floor: O is on floor 5.
2. Q's Position: If Q is on the topmost floor in Y, and O is on floor 5, Q must be on floor 6 (the topmost of 6).
3. P's Floor: P lives on a floor which is the sum of the floor numbers of Q (6) and O (5), so P is on floor 11.
4. R and M's Floors: The sum of R and M's floors is 3. Since they live in different buildings, possible pairs are (1,2) or (2,1).
5. M's Even Floor: M lives on an even-numbered floor. The only possible even-numbered floor that adds up to 3 with R (who must be on 1) is M on 2 and R on 1.
Remaining Assignments
- M is on floor 2, R is on floor 1.
- N lives in the same building as M, so N is also on floor 3.
- T and V have two floors between them; with only 6 floors total, this gives potential placements.
- U lives below S, and since M is even, the only remaining even floor is 4.
Final Identification
After organizing the data based on the constraints:
- M is on floor 2 (even).
- Q is on floor 6 (odd).
- U lives on floor 3 (odd).
- T lives on an odd floor.
- R lives on floor 1 (odd).
Thus, the only one living on an even-numbered floor is M.
Conclusion
The answer is a) M.

Based upon the information in the question, we can draw a table which shows the number of coins of different denominations with different people.
∵ In each denomination, value of money is Rs. 120
∴ Total money with all four of them is 4 × 120 = Rs. 480
A is having average money with B, C and D
∴ Total money with A is Rs. 120
⇒ 20 × 1 + 10 × 2 + {(x + y) ÷ 2} × 5 + 3 × 10 = 120
⇒ {(x + y) ÷ 2} × 5 = 120 – 20 – 20 – 30 = 50
⇒ x + y = 20
We know the value of denomination 5 is Rs. 120
⇒ The number of coins of Rs. 5 = 24
∵ a + b = 10
⇒ (x + y) ÷ 2 + a + b + y = 24
⇒ 10 + 10 + y = 24
⇒ y = 4
⇒ x = 20 – 4 = 16
∵ Number of Rs. 1 coins is 15
∴ Total value of money with D = 15 × 1 + 16 × 2 + 4 × 5 + 3 × 10
⇒ D = 15 + 32 + 20 + 30 = 97

Given the family is spread across three generation.
"F is the father of C.", "C is the maternal uncle of D." ⇒ we can say that F belongs to third generation, C belongs to second generation and D belongs to first generation.
⇒ the two married couples are F and her wife, D's parents.
"E is the son in law of B." ⇒ E is the wife of F, B is the husband of the person A.
Based on the given information the following family tree could be derived.
B is the Grandmother of D.
Hence correct answer is option A.

Eight friends: A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H
Salaries: 15000, 19000, 16000, 32000, 12000, 70000, 40000, and 60000
Ages: 20, 26, 56, 40, 34, 54, 43 and 30 years
1) F sits at 135˚ clockwise direction to B.
2) Salary of the one, who sits 2nd to right of B is divisible by 4. Here, the probabilities are (16000, 32000, 12000, 40000, 60000)
3) There is an angle of 180˚ between F and E.
4) B sits at 90˚ clockwise direction of A i.e. A is 90˚ anti-clockwise direction of B.
5) E is the youngest in the group. Therefore, E is of 20 years.
6) There is an angle of 90˚ between A and H.
7) There is an angle of 135° between A and G.
8) Only two pair is sitting diagnolly opposite to each other has age difference of 6 years.
(Such two age pairs are 20, 26 and 30, 44)
9) G’s salary is thousand rupees less than 1/3rd of A’s salary i.e. 60000/3 = 20000, 20000 – 1000 = 19000.
10) There is an angle of 180˚ between B and the one whose age is 54 years.
11) D is not an immediate neighbour of the person who is third to the left of A.
Therefore, only place left for D is between A and H and for C is between G and F.
12) C’s salary is third highest salary among all the salaries i.e. 40000.
13) E’s salary is divisible by 3 but not 12000.
14) B’s salary is double of H’s but less than D’s salary. (32,000 is double of 16000 but less than 70000, furthermore 12000 which is left is F’s salary).
15) The salary of C is 1000 multiple of its age. (Therefore, age of C is 40 years, and using point 8) the age difference of 6 to 34 is 38, therefore age of A is 34 years)
16) The one who have the highest salary is third youngest in the group. (Therefore, D is of 30 years)
17) The average of B and D’s age is equal to the age of G.
So, B’s age is 56 years.

Number of people those likes all three products is a multiple of 3, = 3a
So, number of people those likes Q and R but not P = 3a/2 = 1.5a
Number of people those likes product P and exactly one more product is same as number of people those likes product Q, while number of people those likes both P and R but not Q is thrice of those likes all three products.
(Both P and Q but not R) + (Both P and R but not Q) = (Both P and Q but not R) + All three + both Q and R but not P + only Q
Number of people those likes both P and R but not Q = 3 x 3a = 9a
Number of people those likes both P and Q but not R = 2 x 9a = 18a
Now,
9a = 3a + 1.5a + only Q
So, Only Q = 4.5a
Now,
All regions people don’t likes any of the product= 180 – 180 x 1/6 = 30
All regions people likes any one of the product = 180 - 30 = 150
Only P + 18a + 4.5a + 9a + 3a + 1.5a + only R = 150
Only P + Only R + 36a = 150
If a = 2,
Only P + Only R = 150 – 72 = 78 (possible)
If a = 4,
Only P + only R = 6
But people those likes R > those likes P >those likes Q
Those likes R = 54 + only R
Those likes P = 120 + Only P
If only P = 0, then only R = 6
So, people those likes R is less than people those likes P
So, a = 4 (not possible)
So, possible value of a = 2
Number of people those likes R = 27 + B
People those likes only P = 60 + A
We know that,
27 + B > 60 + A
B – A > 33………... (1)
Also, we know that (A + B) = 78………. (2)
We need to find the minimum possible value of B
From (1) and (2)
Value of B > (78 + 33)/2 = 55.5
So, minimum possible value of B = 56
Hence answer is option B
The passage given below carries information. Some words and phrases have been highlighted as some questions have been framed on them. Read the same carefully and choose the correct option as your answer.Monsoon rainfall over India is 8% more than what is usual for this time of the year. While this might bode well for agriculture in some regions, it also means floods and concentrated downpours with devastating consequences. At least 25 people were killed over the weekend as torrential rains triggered flash floods and landslips in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Several arterial roads were blocked by debris, as currents washed away bridges and vehicles. The toll was higher in Himachal Pradesh with 21 killed and 12 injured. At least six are missing due to chaos following the downpour. Mandi, Kangra and Chamba were the worst-affected districts in the State. While death and damage to property are the surface manifestation of these rains, there are a range of secondary effects with long-term downstream impact. Schools and transport facilities, for instance, are immediately put out of action, leading to loss of productive hours. Cattle and saplings are left to perish, which in turn destroys livelihoods, debilitates family finances and strains the finances of the state exchequer. The monsoon compresses around 75% of India’s annual rainfall into four months and unevenly waters the country’s highly diverse terrain. It is, therefore, inevitable that some spots are far more vulnerable and bear a disproportionate impact of climate fury. A recent report released by Himachal Pradesh’s Department of Environment, Science and Technology underlines that mountain areas are highly vulnerable to natural disasters, where development over the years has compounded the problem by upsetting the ecological balance of various physical processes.While hill States such as Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand have certain unique challenges, the threats from the vagaries of climate are not unique to them. Monsoon rain patterns are being disrupted leading to a rise in cloudburst-like events as well as a rise in the frequency of high-energy cyclones and droughts. One strategy adopted by the government has been to improve the system of early warning forecasts. The India Meteorological Department now provides fortnightly, weekly and even three-hourly weather forecasts to districts. Within these are integrated warnings about flash floods and lightning. Not all of these are accurate and often, they are not provided early enough for authorities to prepare themselves. In recent years, improvements in early warnings for incoming cyclones have helped state agencies evacuate and rehabilitate most vulnerable, but such success has not been observed for floods. While the inherent risks of infrastructure development in hills and unstable terrain is well understood, these are often elided by authorities in the name of balancing the demands of the people for better infrastructure and services. The increased risk and cost to such projects and infrastructure should be factored in when they are tendered out by the government, and scientific advice regarding development ought to be strictly adhered to.Which of the given options is the central theme of the given passage?- a)The mountain states are used to the vagaries of the climate and do not get affected easily

The passage does not boast the mountain states’ resilience and their capability to handle the consequences of climate change. Though it has been given that the impacts are not new for them, it does not mean they don’t get affected by it. So, (a) gets eliminated.
(c) has also been mentioned but in the options two different points have been merged which makes it irrelevant. (d) and (e) are impacts of rain but not the central theme as the passage does not only revolve around these.
The correct answer left to mark is hence, (b).

We are looking for a word that refers to 'spread'.
Let's look at the meaning of all the words:
- Uploading: Refers to the act of transferring data from one computer to another
- Unfolding: Refers to the act of opening something or spreading it out
- Upending: Refers to the act of setting something upside down
- Unloading: Refers to the act of taking something off from something
- Offloading: Refers to the act of ridding oneself of something
Thus, the correct answer is 'unfolding'.
Each of these questions has a statement followed by three suggested courses of action numbered I, II and III. Assume everything in the statement to be true, and decide which of the given courses of action logically follows for pursuing.Statement: A sudden cloud burst over the island city resulted into unpredicted rainfall causing flood-like situation in the entire area. A large number of people were caught unaware and were stranded on the road.Courses of action:I. The local administration should immediately put in place an action plan for avoiding such a situation in future.II. The local administration should immediately deploy personnel to help the stranded people to move to safer place.III. The local administration should advice all the citizens not to venture out on the road till the situation improves.- a)Only I follows
- b)None follows
- c)Only II and III follow
- d)Only I and II follow
- e)None of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Statement: A sudden cloud burst over the island city resulted into unpredicted rainfall causing flood-like situation in the entire area. A large number of people were caught unaware and were stranded on the road.
Courses of action:
I. The local administration should immediately put in place an action plan for avoiding such a situation in the future.
II. The local administration should immediately deploy personnel to help the stranded people move to a safer place.
III. The local administration should advise all the citizens not to venture out on the road until the situation improves.
Explanation:
I. The local administration should immediately put in place an action plan for avoiding such a situation in the future.
This course of action logically follows from the statement. The sudden cloud burst and resulting flood-like situation caught a large number of people unaware and stranded on the road. To avoid a similar situation in the future, the local administration should develop an action plan. This plan would include measures such as improving drainage systems, implementing early warning systems, and conducting regular maintenance to prevent such disasters.
II. The local administration should immediately deploy personnel to help the stranded people move to a safer place.
This course of action also logically follows from the statement. The people who are stranded on the road due to the flood-like situation require immediate assistance to move to a safer place. The local administration should deploy personnel such as rescue teams, police, and volunteers to provide help and support to these stranded individuals. This will ensure their safety and well-being during the crisis.
III. The local administration should advise all the citizens not to venture out on the road until the situation improves.
This course of action logically follows from the statement. The flood-like situation caused by the unpredicted rainfall poses a risk to the safety of citizens. To avoid any further harm or accidents, it is essential for the local administration to advise all citizens not to venture out on the road until the situation improves. This will help prevent any additional casualties or disruptions in rescue operations.
Conclusion:
Both courses of action II and III are logical and necessary to address the immediate concerns and safety of the stranded people. Therefore, the correct answer is option C) Only II and III follow.

Identifying the Wrong Number
To find the wrong number in the given series, we need to observe the pattern and logic behind the numbers.
Series Analysis
- 465, 633, 775, 897, 993, 1065, 1113
Pattern Recognition
- The series seems to be increasing by different amounts in each step.
- The differences between consecutive numbers are as follows: 168, 142, 122, 96, 72, 48.
Finding the Error
- If we apply the same logic to the series, the next difference should be 24 (48 divided by 2).
- However, when we apply this logic to the last two numbers (1065 and 1113), the difference should be 24, but it is 48. This indicates an error.
Therefore, the wrong number in the series is 1065.

Understanding the Symbols
- “A@B” means A is either 3m or 6m north of B.
- “A#B” means A is either 9m or 15m south of B.
- “A&B” means A is either 8m or 12m west of B.
- “A%B” means A is either 4m or 6m east of B.
Analyzing the Conditions
- Condition I:
- C&G
- B#C
- B&A
- D@A
- D%F
- H&E
- F#H
- Condition II:
- HE = BA
- CG + DF = AB
- CB – DA = HE
- HF = 2(DF) + 1
Calculating Distances
1. Positioning Points:
- Start by placing points B, C, A, D, E, F, G, and H based on the relationships given by the symbols.
2. Assign Values:
- Assume B is at the origin (0,0).
- Using B#C, assume C is 9m south (0,-9).
- Next, B&A indicates A is 9m south as well (0,-18) or 15m south (0,-24).
- For D@A, place D either north of A.
3. Using Conditions:
- Plug in values from Condition II to find specific distances.
- Solve for DF, HE, and other distances accordingly.
Final Distance Calculation
- After calculating the positions based on the conditions, you will find A is at (0, -18) and F must be calculated from H and E.
- Using the equations derived from Condition II, find the exact positions of all points.
- By calculating the distance between A (0,-18) and F, you will arrive at the shortest distance of 5m.
Conclusion
The shortest distance between A and F is 5 meters, making option 'C' the correct answer.
- “A@B” means A is either 3m or 6m north of B.
- “A#B” means A is either 9m or 15m south of B.

Eight People: P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W.
Eight Cars: Santro, Renault, BMW, Swift Dzire, Nano, Nissan, Datsun and Audi
Eight Colours: Red, Blue, White, Yellow, Black, Grey, Beige and Silver.
Eight Days: Starting from Monday to Monday.
Note: All the information is not necessarily in the same order.
1) Only two people have bought the cars before S.
2) Four people have bought the cars between Q and the person who has bought BMW.
3) Q has bought a car on one of the days before the person who has bought BMW.
4) Q has bought a Silver car.
5) The number of cars bought before Nano is as same as the number of cars bought after Audi.
6) Audi is neither in Red nor in Silver colour.
7) Nano has been bought after Audi but neither immediately nor on Monday.
Case 1
Case 2
8) S has bought a car either immediate or on one of the days after V but before the person who has bought Datsun.
9) At least two people have bought cars after the person who has bought Datsun.
10) Only three people have bought cars between R and T.
11) T has not bought a car on the last day.
Case 1 (a)
Case 1 (b)
Case 2 (a)
Case 2 (b)
12) U has bought a car immediately after W.
13) Neither P nor U have bought BMW.
Thus, all three cases get eliminated except case 1 (a)
Case 1 (a)
14) P and S have not bought Renault nor Swift Dzire.
15) Renault car is not in a Silver colour.
So, R has bought Renault and Q has bought Swift Dzire.
Case 1 (a)
16) Only three people have bought cars between the person who has bought Santro and the person who has bought a yellow car.
17) Nissan is neither in a Blue nor in a White colour.
18) Grey and Red cars have not been bought immediately before or after a Yellow car.
So, S has bought Santro and P has bought Nissan.
Case 1 (a)
19) The Blue car is bought after the Black car.
20) Red car is bought immediately after Grey car but immediately before Black car.
21) Beige car is bought 3 days before Renault was bought.
Thus, Red coloured car was bought by S on Wednesday.
Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the Union government whether it is giving the over 40 lakh people, excluded from the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam, a “second chance” to gain citizenship by allowing them to produce fresh documents to prove their Indian legacy.The court was referring to the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) proposed by the government, which allows a claimant for Indian citizenship to “change his legacy” by submitting additional documents at the ‘claims and objections’ stage. The court asked whether this would amount to “re-doing the claims” of those left out from the draft NRC published on July 30.A Bench of Justices Ranjan Gogoi and Rohinton Nariman on Tuesday said allowing a claimant to change his legacy would amount to “tinkering with the family tree” and re-doing the verification process.“You see, a claimant submits documents to prove his legacy from his father. A family tree is drawn, which includes the claimant’s siblings, etc. The authorities verify his claim with each one of the member in the family tree before deciding his claim [for citizenship]. Now, your SOP says that a person can submit fresh documents claiming to prove his legacy from his grandfather. Now, the family tree has to be recreated. Everything has to be re-verified. This amounts to redoing the entire exercise. Why?”, Justice Gogoi asked Attorney General K.K. Venugopal.Besides, the Bench pointed out, the government, in the beginning, had specified that documents on legacy would be allowed to be filed only once. Now, it has changed tack to permit additional documents to be filed. “Are you not contradicting yourself here?” Justice Gogoi asked Mr. Venugopal.The court directed Assam State NRC Coordinator Prateek Hajela to file a report on the ramifications of the government's proposal to submit fresh documents.

This stage was supposed to start within the next days, on August 30, and would have continued till October 28.“Allowing a person to suddenly pull out an additional document, that too at the 'claims and objections' stage, will upset the apple cart,” Justice Nariman observed.Mr. Venugopal countered that the government is giving “another chance to people who risk losing all their rights”.To this, Justice Nariman agreed that the court was dealing with “human problems of a huge magnitude”.“Consequences are so severe that should they be given one more chance. Suppose a claimant has misfired once but can deliver in the next. Why should such a person not be given another chance?” Justice Nariman asked Mr. Hajela, stakeholders and petitioners in the litigation.To this, Mr. Hajela said reopening of family trees would risk the possibility of “trading of legacies or meeting of minds”. "Giving a second chance would only open trading in legacies. There may be people who are willing to sell the legacies to others,” he said.The Supreme Court further asked Mr. Hajela to submit a report with a time-frame to carry out the sample re-verification of at least 10 per cent of the names included in the final draft NRC.

Refer to, ““You see, a claimant submits documents to prove his legacy from his father. A family tree is drawn, which includes the claimant’s siblings, etc. The authorities verify his claim with each one of the member in the family tree before deciding his claim [for citizenship]. Now, your SOP says that a person can submit fresh documents claiming to prove his legacy from his grandfather. Now, the family tree has to be recreated. Everything has to be re-verified. This amounts to redoing the entire exercise. Why?”, Justice Gogoi asked Attorney General K.K. Venugopal.”
From the above lines it is very clear that the Supreme Court did not understand the logic behind asking the citizens who were left out to submit the fresh documents at the claims and objections stage. It is like redoing the whole thing from the scratch without any issue.
Among the given options, only C implies the same as in the passage and all the other options can be easily eliminated since they are out of the given context of the passage. There is no reference to all such options in the passage.
It makes option C the correct choice among the given options.

1. The distance between any two houses was less than 80 km. The minimum distance mentioned in the question is 85km and so, the distance between two offices cannot be 5km as (5 + 80 = 85) which is not possible. J’s house was 135km to the right of the friend who likes Grey colour. The friend who likes grey colour was 85km away from M’s house. This is possible in only one condition when distance between J and the friend who likes grey colour is successive integral of 5 as (40 – 45 – 50).
2. The friend who likes purple colour was 115km to the left of L’s house.
3- The friend who likes indigo colour was the neighbour of L’s house. I’s house was third to the left of the official who likes Indigo colour.
4- The friend who likes violet colour was to the immediate left of the friend who likes purple colour.
5- K’s house was exactly between O’s house and the friend who likes brown colour. The friend who likes golden colour had hose at one of the extreme ends. O did not like silver colour.
Hence, three houses are there between I and the friend who likes silver colour.

The most grammatically and structurally correct sentence is the parishioners did not know whence he will come.
Whence- From where, from what place or source. It is an old English adverb.
- Option 2 uses the preposition 'to' here, which is incorrect; as it lends no meaning to the sentence.
- Option 3 uses the incorrect form of a to-infinitive. Infinitives always use to, with the simple present tense form of the verb, viz, to fetch is the correct form.
- Option 4 uses the incorrect verb 'costed'. The past tense and past participle for of the verb 'to cost' is 'cost' itself.
- Option 5 uses the incorrect plural verb form 'were'. Since it is referring to a singular noun, fence, it should be in its singular form, viz, 'was'.
- Out of the given sentences, the only correct sentence is given by option 1.
