In 'a' the ‘first principle’ of sentence correction questions is, ‘never make an unnecessary correction.’ 
There is nothing wrong with the original sentence. The modifier is correctly used and the part also follows ‘subject-verb agreement'.

Here ‘wise’ is used in the superlative form as ‘wisest’. With superlatives, the article ‘the’ is used

One word substitution is Agenda.

Schedule: A plan for carrying out a process or procedure, giving lists of intended events and times.

Timetable: A chart showing the departure and arrival times of trains, buses, or aircraft.a chart showing the departure and arrival times of trains, buses, or aircraft.

Agenda: A list of items to be discussed at a formal meeting.

Plan: A detailed proposal for doing or achieving something.

A question on parallelism. As the sentence has several ‘actions’, all the ‘actions’ must be in the same form. 
Only option D takes care of it. None of the other options follows the rule of parallelism.

but he stopped on the way is the mistake.

The conjunction has been wrongly used.

Although is always followed by yet and never by but.

The conjunction 'Although ------ yet' is used to express two contrary qualities or actions of a person.

The correct sentence will be: Although he was late, yet he stopped on the way to have coffee with his friends.

The passage clearly states that the dominant narrative is incomplete, ignoring the various negative impacts of the Industrial Revolution. Options A, C, and D present one-sided views, whereas Option B captures the essence of the passage by highlighting the oversight in the traditional narrative.

E and A begin the paragraph and the other three sentences constitute an example to justify the idea presented by E and A. Hence EA will precede the example. Between E and A, A should be placed immediately before the example since the example focuses on the decision taken by the gifted leader, Hannibal of the Alps, and A too talks of how gifted leaders exploit the assumptions of the other side. Thus 3 is the best sequence.

To hang in there is to give one's best efforts even amidst adverse situations, and hence option D.The question is "The problems may be difficult, but all you have to do is __________ as long as you can."Hence, the answer is hang in there. 

Churning is to move or induce to move vigorously (in relation to a liquid).

Let the ages of children be x, (x + 3), (x + 6), (x + 9) and (x + 12) years.

Then, x + (x + 3) + (x + 6) + (x + 9) + (x + 12) = 50

 5x = 20

x = 4.

Age of the youngest child = x = 4 years.

For any multiple independent event, there are n^m

total possible outcomes, where n is the number of outcomes per event, and m is the number of such events.

So for a coin, discounting the unlikely event of landing on its side, there are two possible outcomes per event, heads or tails. And it is stated that there are 3 such events. So n^m=2³=8

The shopkeeper would get the maximum revenue when everybody opts for a 4% resale of the right.

In such a case, the shopkeeper's revenue from each customer would be 96% of 4000 = 4000 – 160 = 3840.

Hence, the total revenue is 38400

Distance covered by P in 8 sec = 4 * 8 = 32 m Distance covered by P in 16 sec = 32 + 5 * 8 = 72 m

Distance covered by P in 24 sec = 72 + 6 * 8 = 120 m

Distance covered by P in 32 sec = 120 + 7 * 8 = 176 m

Distance covered by P in 40 sec = 176 + 8 * 8 = 240 m

Distance covered by P in 48 sec = 240 + 9 * 8 = 312 m

Total distance in 48 sec = 312m

To cover balance 86 m with speed = 10 m/sec, time taken = 86/10 = 8.6 sec

So,

P would finish 400 m in 48 + 8.6 = 56.6 seconds. In 56.6 seconds,

Q cycles 56.6 * 6.5 = 367.9 m or B should have a 32.1 m

lead to result in a dead heat. The question is "If P and Q had to cycle for a 400 m race, how much lead in terms of distance, can P give Q and still finish at the same time as Q?"

Hence, the answer is 32.1 m

Let the age of the teacher be T.

The initial total age of the class (including the teacher) is (30+1)*14 = 434 years.

If we exclude the teacher, the total age of the 30 students is 30*(14-0.5) = 405 years.

So the teacher's age, T, must be: 434 - 405 = 29 years

Therefore, the age of the class teacher is 29 years.

Selected year will be a non leap year with a probability 3/4
Selected year will be a leap year with a probability 1/4
A selected leap year will have 53 Mondays with probability 2/7
A selected non leap year will have 53 Mondays with probability 1/7
E→ Event that randomly selected year contains 53 Mondays
P(E) =  (3/4 × 1/7) + (1/4 × 2/7)
P(Leap Year/ E) = (2/28) / (5/28) = 2/5 

Let us assume that the number with which Anita has to perform the multiplication is 'x'.

Instead of finding 35x, she calculated 53x.

The difference = 53x - 35x = 18x = 540

Therefore, x = 540/18 = 30

So, the new product = 30 x 53 = 1590.

The three white flags can be arranged in the following two ways:

__ W __ W __ W or W __ W __ W __

In the blanks, the 2 blue and one red flag can be arranged in 3 ways.

So, the total number of arrangements is 2*3 = 6

Let the cost of coffee be ‘x’ and chicory be ‘y’.

Cost price of the mixture = 5x + 3y

Selling price of the mixture = 1.1*8x = 8.8x

=> Profit = 8.8x – 5x – 3y  = 3.8x – 3y

Profit percentage = 28% = 0.28

=> (3.8x – 3y)/(5x + 3y) = 0.28

3.8x – 3y = 1.4x + 0.84y

2.4x = 3.84y

=> x = 1.6y

Therefore, the CP of coffee powder is 60% more than the CP of Chicory powder.
Hence, option A is the right answer.

Therefore, it is evident that the time taken from P to R and back would be double the time taken from P to Q and back (i.e. double of 6.5 hours = 13 hours).

Since going from P to R takes 9 hours, coming back from R to P would take 4 hours i.e. 13- 9 = 4

So Option A is correct

They are all the first letters of the numbers spelled in order.

O – One

T – Two

T – Three

F – Four

F – Five

S – Six

S – Seven

E – Eight

N – Nine

So the answer is N

Since one premise is particular and the other negative, the conclusion must be particular negative and should not contain the middle term. Thus, III follows. I is the converse of the first premise and so it also holds.

Total number of Operators who left the Company during 1995 - 2000
= (104 + 120 + 100 + 112 + 144)
= 580.
Total number of Operators who joined the Company during 1995 - 2000
= (880 + 256 + 240 + 208 + 192 + 248)
= 2024

Each letter in the word is moved one step forward to obtain the corresponding letter of the code.

In morning, sun rises in the east and so any shadow falls towards the west. Now, Kavita's shadow falls to the right of Reeta. Hence, Reeta is facing South and Kavita is facing North.

p – q + r ¥ s reads as p is the husband of q, q is the daughter of r and r is the brother of s. Thus, q must be s’s niece. Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

L is the third to right of K and N is the next to the right of L

=> N is sitting opposite to K.

Also, Q is second to the left of N, => Q is sitting second to the right of K and to the immediate left of L.

O is not the neighbour of N or K, => O is sitting opposite Q and second to the left of K.

Since, J is not the neighbor of N, => J is sitting between Q and K.

The only empty position is taken by M. The arrangement is :

Clearly, J is to the immediate left of Q.

This is a simple alternating addition and subtraction series. In the first pattern, 3 is added; in the second, 2 is subtracted.

Short cut formula: The total number of person =  Position of Ganesh from the right ends + Position of Ganesh from the left ends – 1

Now, Position of Ganesh from the right ends = The total number of person – Position of Ganesh from the left ends + 1

= 60 – 26 + 1 = 35.

Hence, Ganesh is 35th from the right ends.

Mrs. Abraham can’t be sitting next to him as per the seating arrangement. Wives sit three places away from their husbands.

Mrs. Charlie is sitting to the left of Mr. Abraham. So, she can’t be sitting to his right.

Mrs. Elenor is sitting two places to the right of Mrs. Border (and not Mrs. Charlie). So, she can’t be sitting right next to Mr. Abraham.

Mrs. Border and Mrs. Dennis are the remaining two wives and each is equally likely to to be sitting to the right of Mr. Abraham.
