Directions: Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to the given question out of the four alternatives.
The recent change to all-volunteer armed forces in the United States will eventually produce a gradual increase in the proportion of women in the armed forces and in the variety of women's assignments, but probably not the dramatic gains for women that might have been expected. This is so even though the armed forces operate in an ethos of institutional change oriented toward occupational equality and under the federal sanction of equal pay for equal work. The difficulty is that women are unlikely to be trained for any direct combat operations. A significant portion of the larger society remains uncomfortable as yet with extending equality in this direction. Therefore, for women in the military, the search for equality will still be based on functional equivalence, not identity or even similarity of task. Opportunities seem certain to arise. The growing emphasis on deterrence is bound to offer increasing scope for women to become involved in novel types of non-combat military assignments.
Q. The ‘dramatic gains for women’ and change in the attitude of a ‘significant portion of the larger society’ are logically related to each other in as much as the author puts forward the latter as

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and then answer the question based on what is stated or implied in the passage.
Many nations now place their faith in capitalism and governments choose it as the strategy to create wealth for their people. The spectacular economic growth seen in Brazil, China and India after the liberalisation of their economies is proof of its enormous potential and success. However, the global banking crisis and the economic recession have left many bewildered. The debates tend to focus on free market operations and forces, their efficiency and their ability for self correction. Issues of justice, integrity and honesty are rarely elaborated to highlight the failure of the global banking system. The apologists of the system continue to justify the success of capitalism and argue that the recent crisis was a blip.
Their arguments betray an ideological bias with the assumptions that an unregulated market is fair and competent, and that the exercise of private greed will be in the larger public interest.
Few recognise the bidirectional relationship between capitalism and greed; that each reinforces the other. Surely, a more honest conceptualisation of the conflicts of interest among the rich and powerful players who have benefited from the system, their biases and ideology is needed; the focus on the wealth creation should also highlight the resultant gross inequity.
Q. With reference to "ideological bias", the passage implies that

Q. The passage implies which of the following is a factor conducive to a more equitable representation of women in the United States armed forces than has existed in the past?
Directions: Out of the given options in the following question, you are needed to identify the best way of writing the sentence in context of the correct usage of standard written English.
Computers may learn from their mistakes and enhance its performance but they need instructions from man to operate.
Option (2) is incorrect because the subject of the sentence is 'computers', which is plural, and a plural subject cannot take a singular verb. So 'enhances' should be replaced by 'enhance'.
Option (3) is incorrect because the tense does not match. 'Needed' is a past tense, whereas the complete sentence is in the present tense. So, 'needed' should be replaced by 'need'.
Option (4) is correct because there is no error in the sentence. All errors have been removed such as 'it' into 'they'; 'enhances' into 'enhance'; 'needed' into 'need' and 'its' into 'their'.
The given sentence is incorrect because 'its' has been wrongly used. It corresponds to 'computers' which is plural. Hence 'its' must be replaced by 'their'.

Water is _________ and even the hardiest plant ________ and dies in Kalahari Desert.
Option 1 is incorrect as 'flares' means a fire or blaze of light, this does not fit in the context of a plant. Also, 'slake' which means to quench thirst doesn't create any meaning.
Option 2 is incorrect as 'shatters' means to break into pieces, this does not fit much in the context of a plant. Also, 'piquant' which means to having a pleasantly sharp taste or appetizing flavour does not fit in the given context.
Option 4 is incorrect as 'obscures' which means to hide or conceal, this doesn't create meaning in the context of a plant. Also, 'profuse' which means to be abundant is exactly opposite of the what the sentence is trying to convey.

A positive number when increased by 10 equals 200 times its reciprocal. What is that number?
By the given condition, we have
x + 10 = 200/x
So, x2 + 10x = 200
x2 + 10x - 200 = 0
x2 + 20x - 10x - 200 = 0
x(x + 20) - 10(x + 20) = 0
(x - 10)(x + 20) = 0
So, x = 10 or x = -20
But x is given as positive.
So, x = 10
Given below are two statements.
Statement 1: There are five students of class 6 and three students of class 8 in a group. They have to make a group of three persons to make the model. Every group has at least one student of class 8 in the group. The total number of ways of make group is 16.
Statement 2: The number of words which can be formed out of the letters of the word PATHETIC, is 56.
Which of the following is correct?
Statement 1
Let us assume 'A' be the student of class 6 and 'B' be the students of class 8.
According to question,
The possibility is:
2A 1B + 1A 2B + 3B = 5C2 × 3C1 + 5C1 × 3C2 + 3C3
= 10 × 3 + 5 × 3 + 1
= 30 + 15 + 1
= 46
So, statement 1 is false.
Statement 2:
The number of words that can be formed out of the letters of the word 'PATHETIC' is equal to the number of permutation of the letters of the word.
The word contains 8 letters and among them there are 2 Ts, i.e. repetition occur in letters.
So, total number of words that can be formed is =
So, statement 2 is incorrect.
A, B and C invest in an online business with ratio 4 : 3 : 6. A and B start the business and C joins them after 2 months. They decided that C will get a monthly salary of Rs. 6500 from the annual profits. C's total salary came out to be 10% of the annual profit after a year. What is the share of B in the total profits?
Then, his annual income = Rs. 6500 x 10 = Rs. 65,000 (As he worked for 10 months only)
Rs. 65,000 is 10% the annual profit.
The annual profit is Rs. 6,50,000.
Ratio of their shares
= 4 x 12 : 3 x 12 : 6 x 10
= 48 : 36 : 60
= 4 : 3 : 5
Total profit left after deducting income of C = Rs. 6,50,000 - Rs. 65,000 = Rs. 5,85,000
B's share = (3/12) x Rs. 5,85,000 = Rs. 1,46,250

From (a),
a + (⅓)a = 1
⇒ a = 3/4
A vendor sold 60% of the apples he had and threw away 15% of the remainder. Next day, he sold 50% of the remaining apples and threw away the rest. What % of the apples did the vendor throw away?
He sold 60 apple, Remaining is 40
He throw 15% of 40, i.e. 6 apples
Remaining 34, out of 34 he sold 17 and throw 17.
Total number of apple throw away = 17 + 6 = 23 out of 100
i.e. 23% apple he throw away.

A motorboat can travel at 10 km/hr in still water. It travelled 91 km downstream and then returned, taking 20 hours altogether. What is the speed of flow of water in the river?
910 + 91x + 910 - 91x = 20(102 - x2)
⇒ 100 - x2 = 91
⇒ x2 = 9
⇒ x = 3
Thus, speed of flow of water in the river = 3 km/hr
A and B can do a piece of work in 12 and 18 days, respectively. On which day will the work be finished if A starts the work and they work on alternate days?

In a group of 160 people, men and women are in the ratio of 3 : 1. After adding some women in the group, the ratio becomes 2 : 1. The mean of weights of the group is 64 kg and the average of women's weights is 3 kg more than men's.
A. The mean weight of men in the group is 63 kg.
B. The mean weight of men in the group is 65 kg.
C. The mean weight of women in the group is 66 kg.
D. The mean weight of women in the group is 68 kg.
E. The mean weight of women in the group is 65 kg.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Total number of people = 160
Ratio of the number of men and women, initially = 3 : 1
Hence, initial number of men = (¾) × 160 = 120
Initial number of women = (¼)× 160 = 40
After adding women, new ratio = 2 : 1
So, number of women added = 20
Now, total number of people in the group = 160 + 20 = 180
New average weight of all the 180 people = 64
So, we get:
120x + [60 × (x + 3)] = 180 × 64
180x + 180 = 11,520
180x = 11,340
x = 63 kg
Hence, mean weight of all the men in the group = 63 kg
Mean weight of all the women = 63 + 3 = 66 kg

If the expenditures of companies A and B in 2001 were equal and the total income of the two companies was Rs. 116 lakh, what was the total expenditure of the companies in that year?
Now, profit % of company A in 2001 = 40%
∴ 40% of x = Income - x
⇒ Income = Rs. 7x/5
Profit % of company B in 2001 = 50%
∴ 50% of x = Income - x
⇒ Income = Rs. 3x/2
Also, income of both companies in 2001 = Rs. 116
⇒ x = 40
∴ Expenditure of both the companies together
= x + x = 40 + 40 = 80 lakh

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the question.
Talking to people is a necessity when it comes to business. Most people are fine conversing normally, but when it comes to presenting to a group of investors, all sorts of knots may be tied up. Whether it be presenting a sales pitch to a group of decision makers or presenting your ideas to your team in a meeting, there are some ways to help you get over the presentation anxiety. Nothing can feel more daunting than having a bunch of eyes and ears watching and listening to your every stutter, fumble, and mistake. Part of the pressure and anxiety comes from you fearing what could happen if you failed. Preparation not only helps to make sure you give your presentation the best quality you can, but it also provides you with confidence knowing that your preparations will lead to a better presentation.
For preparations, one must know the topic. One won't need to scramble for notes or spend time thinking about the information in your presentation if you have a good grasp of what it entails. To further prepare for this, brainstorm all sorts of questions that might be asked and come up with answers to them. If you plan to have any digital aids in your presentation, know where they are and where you can use them. This is because technology is not always flawless. Perhaps create a physical slideshow or have multiple backups especially if your presentation is heavily reliant on visual information.
Lastly, practise. Practise in conditions similar to an actual presentation and do it until you feel comfortable. The truth is, many pay more attention to the information being relayed rather than the presenter. Yes, a good presenter will give a memorable presentation, but keep in mind that you are critiquing your presentation more harshly than anyone else. Slight stumbles might be noticed by only you alone while the audience is the most unaware. There are always going to be people in the audience that will be bored or tired. Instead of focusing on pleasing everyone, focus on giving a great presentation. No matter how important the presentation is, put your efforts and skills before the reaction of the audience. The less you think about how the audience is reacting, the less anxious you will be.
Remember, silence is not a jab at you personally. Maybe your point is not as well loved as you thought it would be or your joke was not as well received as you thought it would be. That does not mean your point was terrible or that your joke was unfunny. Not all audiences react in the same manner. Your presentation should flow at a breathable pace. A pause here and there gives the audience enough time to process what you said. In storytelling, pauses work the same way to capture the audience's attention. They create suspense and anticipation, drawing in people's attention, and they provide a brief resting period before moving on to the next talking point. Remember, your performance does not indicate your value as a person. We all have bad days and many people can overlook shortcomings. As said previously, silence is not all that bad. Your presentation does not have to be perfect. In fact, a bad presentation is just another way for you to learn how to improve your next presentation. Sometimes we get stuck on the image of who we used to be. Oftentimes, when we criticise our abilities, it is based off of an older version of us.
