06. The following graph represents the installed capacity for cement production (in tonnes) and the
actual production (in tonnes) of nine cement plants of a cement company. Capacity utilization of a
plant is defined as ratio of actual production of cement to installed capacity. A plant with installed
capacity of at least 200 tonnes is called a large plant and a plant with lesser capacity is called a
small plant. The difference between total production of large plants and small plants, in tonnes is
_______.
Ans: 120
Sol: Installed capacity ? 200 tonnes ? large plant
Installed capacity < 200 tonnes ? small plant

Based on the proposal,
(i) In the initial years, SIT students will get degrees from IIT.
(ii) SITs will have a distinct national objective.
(iii) SITs like institutions can only be established in consultation with IIT.
(iv) SITs will serve technological needs of a developing country.
(A) (iii) and (iv) only (B) (i) and (iv) only
(C) (ii) and (iv) only (D) (ii) and (iii) only
Ans: (C)
Sol: Option (i) and (iii) state phrases like ‘in the initial years’ and ‘SIT like institutions can only be
established in consultation with IIT’ cannot be logically inferred so (ii) and (iv) are the best
inferences i.e. option (C)
09. Shaquille O’ Neal is a 60% career free throw shooter, meaning that he successfully makes 60 free
throws out of 100 attempts on average. What is the probability that he will successfully make
exactly 6 free throws in 10 attempts?
(A) 0.2508 (B) 0.2816 (C) 0.2934 (D) 0.6000
Ans: (A)
Sol: n = no. of attempts = 10
x = free throws successfully = 6
