Directions for questions (1 to 4): Answer these Questions on the basis of the information given below: Venkat, a stockbroker, invested a part of his money in the stock of four companies - A, B, C and D. Each of these companies belonged to different industries, viz., Cement, Information Technology (IT), Auto, and Steel, in no particular order. At the-time of investment, the price of each stock was Rs 100. Venkat purchased only one stock of each of these companies. He was expecting returns of 20%, 10%, 30% and 40% from the stock of companies A, B, C and D, respectively. Returns are defined as the change in the value of the stock after one year, expressed as a percentage of the initial value. During the year, two of these companies announced extraordinarily good results. One of these two companies belonged to the Cement or the IT industry, while the other one belonged to either the Steel or the Auto industry. As a result, the returns on the stocks of these two companies were higher than the initially expected returns. For the company belonging to the Cement or the IT industry with extraordinarily good results, the returns were twice that of the initially expected returns. For the company belonging to the Steel or[ the Auto industry, the returns on announcement of extraordinarily good results were only one and a halftimes that of the initially expected returns. For the remaining two companies. Which do not announce extraordinarily good results, the returns realized during the year were the same as initially expected. What is the minimum average return Venkat would have earned during the year?

If Venkat earned a 35% return on average during the year, then which of these statements would necessarily be true? I. Company A belonged either to Auto or to Steel Industry. II. Company B did not announce extraordinarily good results. III. Company A announced extraordinarily good results. Iv. Company D did not announce extraordinarily good results.
- I and II only
- II and III only
- III and IV only
- II and IV only
Correct Answer

A. II and III only

Explanation

If Venkat earned a 35% return on average during the year, it implies that Company A did not necessarily belong to the Auto or Steel Industry (statement I is not necessarily true). However, it does imply that Company B did not announce extraordinarily good results (statement II is true) and that Company A did announce extraordinarily good results (statement III is true). There is no information provided about Company D, so statement IV cannot be determined. Therefore, the correct statements are II and III only.

If Venkat earned a 38.75% return on average during the year, then which of these statement(s) would necessarily be true? I. Company C belonged either to Auto or to Steel Industry. II. Company D belonged either to Auto or to Steel Industry. III. Company A announced extraordinarily good results. IV. Company B did not announce extraordinarily good results.
- I and II only
- II and III only
- III and IV only
- II and IV only
Correct Answer

A. III and IV only

Explanation

The given question does not provide any information about the industries to which the companies belong or their performance. Therefore, statements I and II cannot be determined based on the given information. However, since Venkat earned a 38.75% return on average during the year, it can be inferred that Company A announced extraordinarily good results (statement III). Additionally, since Company B did not announce extraordinarily good results, statement IV is also true. Therefore, the correct answer is III and IV only.

Rate this question:
4.

If Company C belonged to the Cement or the IT industry and did announce extraordinarily good results, then which of these statement(s) would necessarily be true? I. Venkat earned not more than 36.25% return on average. II. Venkat earned not less than 33.75% return on average. III. If Venkat earned 33.75% return on average, Company A announced extraordinarily good results. Iv. If' Venkat earned 33.75% return on average, Company B belonged either to Auto or to Steel Industry.
- I and II only
- II and IV only
- II and III only
- III and IV only
Correct Answer

A. II and IV only

Explanation

If Company C belonged to the Cement or the IT industry and announced extraordinarily good results, it implies that Venkat earned not less than 33.75% return on average. This is because the question states that the company announced extraordinarily good results, suggesting that Venkat's returns were also good. Additionally, if Venkat earned 33.75% return on average, it implies that Company B belonged either to the Auto or Steel industry. This is because the question states that if Venkat earned a certain return, Company B belonged to one of these two industries. Therefore, the correct answer is II and IV only.

Directions for questions (5 to 8) : Answer these Questions on the basis of the information given below: The table below presents the revenue (in million rupees) of four firms in three states. These firms, Honest Ltd., Aggressive Ltd., Truthful Ltd. and Profitable Ltd. are disguised in the table as A,B,C and D, in no particular order. In the state of MP, Truthful Ltd. has the highest market share. Aggressive Ltd. 's aggregate revenue differs from Honest Ltd. 's by Rs. 5 million. What can be said regarding the following two statements? Statement 1: Honest Ltd. has the highest share in the UP market. Statement 2: Aggressive Ltd. has the highest share in the Bihar market.
- Both statements could be true.
- At least one of the statements must be true.
- At most one of the statements is true.
- None of the above.
Correct Answer

A. At most one of the statements is true.

Explanation

The table presents the revenue of four firms in three states. It is mentioned that Truthful Ltd. has the highest market share in MP and Aggressive Ltd.'s revenue differs from Honest Ltd.'s by Rs. 5 million. Based on this information, it is possible that Honest Ltd. has the highest share in the UP market, making Statement 1 true. However, it is also possible that Aggressive Ltd. has the highest share in the Bihar market, making Statement 2 true. Therefore, both statements could be true. However, it is also possible that neither statement is true. Therefore, the correct answer is "At most one of the statements is true."

What can be said regarding the following two statements? Statement 1 : Aggressive Ltd. 's lowest revenues are from MP. Statement 2 : Honest Ltd. 's lowest revenues are from Bihar.
- If Statement 2 is true then Statement 1 is necessarily false.
- If Statement I is false then Statement 2 is necessarily true.
- If Statement I is true then Statement 2 is necessarily true.
- None of the above.
Correct Answer

A. If Statement I is true then Statement 2 is necessarily true.

Explanation

If Statement 1 is true, it means that Aggressive Ltd. has its lowest revenues from MP. If Statement 2 is true, it means that Honest Ltd. has its lowest revenues from Bihar. The answer suggests that if Statement 1 is true, it necessarily implies that Statement 2 is also true. This means that if Aggressive Ltd. has its lowest revenues from MP, then it is necessarily true that Honest Ltd. has its lowest revenues from Bihar.

What can be said regarding the following two statements? Statement 1: Profitable Ltd. has the lowest share in MP market. Statement 2 : Honest Ltd. 's total revenue is more than Profitable Ltd.
- If Statement I is true then Statement 2 is necessarily true.
- "If Statement 1 is true then Statement 2 is necessarily false.
- Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true.
- Neither Statement 1 nor Statement 2 is true.
Correct Answer

A. "If Statement 1 is true then Statement 2 is necessarily false.

Explanation

If Statement 1 is true, it means that Profitable Ltd. has the lowest share in the MP market. However, if Statement 2 is necessarily false, it means that Honest Ltd.'s total revenue is not more than Profitable Ltd. In other words, even if Profitable Ltd. has the lowest share in the market, it does not necessarily mean that Honest Ltd.'s total revenue is more than Profitable Ltd.

Rate this question:
8.

If Profitable Ltd. 's lowest revenue is from UP, then which of the following is true?
- Truthful Ltd. 's lowest revenues are from MP.
- Truthful Ltd. 's lowest revenues are from Bihar.
- Truthful Ltd. 's lowest revenues are from UP.
- No definite conclusion is possible.
Correct Answer

A. Truthful Ltd. 's lowest revenues are from UP.

Explanation

If Profitable Ltd.'s lowest revenue is from UP, it implies that UP is not a profitable market for Profitable Ltd. On the other hand, if Truthful Ltd.'s lowest revenues are also from UP, it suggests that UP is also not a profitable market for Truthful Ltd. Therefore, the statement "Truthful Ltd.'s lowest revenues are from UP" is true based on the given information.

Directions for questions (9 to 12) : Answer these Questions on the basis ofthe information given below: In the table below is the listing of players, seeded from highest (#1) to lowest (#32), who are due to play in an Association of Tennis Players (ATP) tournament for women. This tournament has four knockout rounds before the final, i.e., first round, second round, quarterfinals, and semi-finals. In the first round, the highest seeded player plays the lowest seeded player (seed # 32) which is designated match No.1 of first round; the 2nd seeded player plays the 31 st seeded player which is designated match No.2 of the first round, and so on. Thus, for instance, match No. 16 of first round is to be played between 16th seeded player and the 17th seeded player. In thesecond round, the winner of match No.1 of first round plays the winner of match No. 16 of first round and is designated match No.1 of second round. Similarly, the winner of match No.2 of first round plays the winner of match No. 15 of first round, and is designated match No.2 of second round. Thus, for instance, match No.8 of the second round is to be played between the winner of match No.8 offirst round and the winner of match No.9 of first round. The same pattern is followed for later rounds as well. If Elena Dementieva and Serena Williams lose in the second round, while Justine Henin and Nadia Petro va make it to the semi-finals, then who would play Maria Sharapova in the quarterfinals, in the event Sharapova reaches quarterfinals?
- Dinara Safina
- Justine Henin
- Nadia Petrova
- Patty Schnyder
Correct Answer

A. Nadia Petrova

Explanation

If Elena Dementieva and Serena Williams lose in the second round, and Justine Henin and Nadia Petrova make it to the semi-finals, then Nadia Petrova would play Maria Sharapova in the quarterfinals, assuming Sharapova also reaches the quarterfinals. This can be determined by following the pattern mentioned in the information given. In the second round, the winner of match No.2 of the first round (which would be Justine Henin) plays the winner of match No.15 of the first round (which would be Nadia Petrova), and is designated match No.2 of the second round. Therefore, if both Henin and Petrova make it to the semi-finals, Petrova would play Sharapova in the quarterfinals.

Rate this question:

If the top eight seeds make it to the quarterfinals, then who, amongst the players listed below, would definitely not play against Maria Sharapova in the final, in case Sharapova reaches the final?
- Amelie Mauresmo
- Elena Dementieva
- Kim Clijsters
- Lindsay Davenport
Correct Answer

A. Kim Clijsters

Explanation

If the top eight seeds make it to the quarterfinals, it means that only those eight players will be left in the tournament. Since Maria Sharapova is one of the top eight seeds, she would have to win her quarterfinal match to reach the final. If Kim Clijsters is listed below as one of the players, it means that she is not one of the top eight seeds. Therefore, if the top eight seeds make it to the quarterfinals, Kim Clijsters would definitely not play against Maria Sharapova in the final.

Rate this question:
11.

If there are no upsets (a lower seeded player beating a higher seeded player) in the first round, and only match Nos. 6, 7, and 8 of the second round result in upsets, then who would meet Lindsay Davenport in quarter finals, in case Davenport reaches quarter finals?
- Justine Henin
- Nadia Petrova
- Patty Schnyder
- Venus Williams
Correct Answer

A. Venus Williams

Explanation

If there are no upsets in the first round, it means that all the higher seeded players have won their matches. In the second round, only match Nos. 6, 7, and 8 result in upsets, which means that the higher seeded players in those matches have been defeated by lower seeded players. Therefore, if Lindsay Davenport reaches the quarter finals, she would meet Venus Williams, as she is the only option left among the given players who has not been mentioned as causing an upset in the second round.

Rate this question:
12.

If, in the first round, all even numbered matches (and none of the odd numbered ones) result in upsets, and there are no upsets in the second round, then who could be the lowest seeded player facing Maria Sharapova in semi-finals?
- Anastasia Myskina
- Flavia Pennetta
- Nadia Petrova
- Svetlana Kuznetsova
Correct Answer

A. Anastasia Myskina

Explanation

In the first round, all even numbered matches resulted in upsets, meaning that the lower seeded players won those matches. This implies that Anastasia Myskina, who is the lowest seeded player among the given options, won her match in the first round. Since there were no upsets in the second round, it can be inferred that all higher seeded players won their matches. Therefore, the lowest seeded player facing Maria Sharapova in the semi-finals could be Anastasia Myskina.

Directions for questions (13 to 16) : Answer these Questions on the basis of the information given below: Help Distress (HD) is an NGO involved in providing assistance to people suffering from natural disasters. Currently, it has 37 volunteers. They are involved in three projects: Tsunami Relief(TR) in Tamil Nadu, Flood Relief(FR) in Maharashtra, and Earthquake Relief (ER) in Gujarat. Each volunteer working with Help Distress has to be involved in at least one relief work project. A Maximum number of volunteers are involved in the FR project. Among them, the number of volunteers involved in FR project alone is equal to the volunteers having additional involvement in the ER project. The number of volunteers involved in the ER project alone is double the number of volunteers involved in all the three projects. 17 volunteers are involved in the TR project. , The number of volunteers involved in the TR project alone is one less than the number of volunteers involved in ER project alone. Ten volunteers involved in the TR project are also involved in at least one more project. Based on the information given above, the minimum number of volunteers involved in both FR and TR projects, but not in the ER project is:
- 1
- 3
- 4
- 5
Correct Answer

A. 4

Explanation

The minimum number of volunteers involved in both FR and TR projects, but not in the ER project is 4. This can be determined by analyzing the given information. We know that 17 volunteers are involved in the TR project alone, and the number of volunteers involved in the TR project alone is one less than the number of volunteers involved in the ER project alone. Therefore, there must be 18 volunteers involved in the ER project alone. Since the number of volunteers involved in the ER project alone is double the number of volunteers involved in all three projects, there must be 9 volunteers involved in all three projects. This leaves us with 37 - 17 - 18 - 9 = 4 volunteers involved in both FR and TR projects, but not in the ER project.

Rate this question:
14.

Which of the following additional information would enable to find the exact number of volunteers involved in various projects?
- Twenty volunteers are involved in FR.
- Four volunteers are involved in all the three projects.
- Twenty three volunteers are involved in exactly one project.
- No need for any additional information.
Correct Answer

A. Twenty volunteers are involved in FR.

Explanation

The information provided states that twenty volunteers are involved in FR. This additional information would enable us to find the exact number of volunteers involved in various projects because it specifies the number of volunteers involved in one specific project. By knowing this number, we can subtract it from the total number of volunteers involved in all three projects to determine the number of volunteers involved in the other two projects.

Rate this question:
15.

After some time, the volunteers who were involved in all the three projects were asked to withdraw from one project. As a result, one of the volunteers opted out of the TR project, and one opted out ofthe ER project, while the remaining ones involved in all the three projects opted out of the FR project. Which of the following statements, then, necessarily follows?
- The lowest number of volunteers is now in TR project.
- More volunteers are now in FR project as compared to ER project.
- More volunteers are now in TR project as compared to ER project.
- None of the above.
Correct Answer

A. More volunteers are now in FR project as compared to ER project.

Explanation

After some volunteers withdrew from different projects, it is clear that one volunteer opted out of the TR project, one opted out of the ER project, and the remaining volunteers involved in all three projects opted out of the FR project. This means that the number of volunteers in the TR project has decreased by one, while the number of volunteers in the ER project has also decreased by one. However, since the remaining volunteers opted out of the FR project, it can be inferred that more volunteers are now in the FR project compared to the ER project. Therefore, the correct answer is "More volunteers are now in FR project as compared to ER project."

Rate this question:
16.

After the withdrawal of volunteers, as indicated in Question 85, some new volunteers joined the NGO. Each one ofthem was allotted only one project in a manner such that, the number of volunteers working in one project alone for each of the three projects became identical. At that point, it was also found that the number of volunteers involved in FR and ER projects was the same as the number of volunteers involved in TR and ER projects. Which of the projects now has the highest number of volunteers?
- ER
- FR
- TR
- Cannot be determined
Correct Answer

A. ER

Explanation

After the withdrawal of volunteers, new volunteers joined the NGO and were allotted one project each. The number of volunteers working in one project for each of the three projects became identical. Additionally, the number of volunteers involved in FR and ER projects was the same as the number of volunteers involved in TR and ER projects. Based on this information, it can be concluded that ER project now has the highest number of volunteers.

Directions for questions (17 to 20) : Answer these Questions on the basis of the information given below: The year is 2089. Beijing, London, New York, and Paris are in contention to host the 2096 Olympics. The eventual winner is determined through several rounds of voting by members of the lac with each member representing a different city. All the four cities in contention are also represented in lac. In any round of voting; the city receiving the lowest number of votes in that round gets eliminated. The survivor after the last round of voting gets to host the event. A member is allowed to cast votes for at most two different cities in all rounds of voting combined. (Hence, a member becomes ineligible to cast a vote in a given round if both the cities(s) he voted for in earlier rounds are out of contention in that round of voting.) A member is also ineligible to cast a vote in a round if the city(s) he represents is in contention in that round of voting . As long as the member is eligible,(s)he must vote and vote for only one candidate city in any round of voting. The following incomplete table shows the information on cities that received the maximum and minimum votes in different rounds, the number of votes cast in their favour, and the total votes that were cast in those rounds. It is also known that : All those who voted for London and Paris in round 1, continued to vote for the same cities in subsequent rounds as long as these cities were in contention. 75% of those who voted for Beijing in round I, voted for Beijing in round 2 as well. Those who voted for New York in round 1, voted either for Beij ing or Paris in round 2. The difference in votes cast for the two contending cities in the last round was I. 50% of those who voted for Beijing in round I, voted for Paris in round 3. What percentage of members from among those who voted for New York in round 1, voted for Beijing in round 2?
- 33.33
- 50
- 66.67
- 75
Correct Answer

A. 75

Explanation

In round 1, those who voted for New York either voted for Beijing or Paris in round 2. We know that 75% of those who voted for Beijing in round 1 voted for Beijing in round 2 as well. Therefore, if the percentage of members from among those who voted for New York in round 1 and voted for Beijing in round 2 is 75%, it means that 75% of those who voted for New York in round 1 voted for Beijing in round 2.

A. If the question cannot be answered on the basis of the two statements.

Explanation

The correct answer is if the question cannot be answered on the basis of the two statements.

The question asks whether Mahindra and Mahindra Club won the match after trailing by three goals at half-time. Statement A states that Mahindra and Mahindra Club scored four goals in the second half, but it does not provide information about the goals scored by the opponent or the final result of the match. Statement B states that the opponent scored four goals in the match, but it does not provide information about the goals scored by Mahindra and Mahindra Club or the final result of the match. Therefore, neither statement alone nor both statements together can answer the question.

- If the question can be answered by using either of the statements alone.
- If the question can be answered by using both the statements together but not by either of the statements alone.
- If the question cannot be answered on the basis of the two statements.
Correct Answer

A. If the question can be answered by using the statement A alone but not by using the statement B alone.

Explanation

Statement A states that 60% of the top academic performers were not athletes. This means that out of the total number of top academic performers, 60% were not athletes. However, it does not provide any information about the total number of top academic performers in the school. Therefore, statement A alone cannot answer the question.

Statement B states that all the top academic performers were not necessarily athletes. This means that there could be some top academic performers who were athletes and some who were not. Again, this statement does not provide any information about the total number of top academic performers in the school. Therefore, statement B alone cannot answer the question.

Hence, the question cannot be answered on the basis of the two statements alone.

Correct Answer

A. If the question can be answered by using either of the statements alone.

Explanation

The question can be answered by using either of the statements alone. Statement A tells us that 25% of the employees have an engineering background, but it does not specify the percentage of male employees with an engineering background. Statement B tells us that the number of male employees with an engineering background is 20% more than the number of female employees with an engineering background, but it does not give us the exact percentage. Therefore, we need both statements together to determine the percentage of male employees with an engineering background.

Directions for questions (29 to 32) : Answer these questions on the basis of the information given below. The following table shows the break-up of actual costs incurred by a company in last five years (year 2002 to year 2006) to produce a particular product: The production capacity of the company is 2000 units. The selling price for the year 2006 was Rs. 125 per unit. Some costs change almost in direct proportion to the change in volume of production, while others do not follow any obvious pattern of change with respect to the volume of production and hence are considered fixed. Using the information provided for the year 2006 asthe basis for projecting the figures for the year 2007, answer the following questions: What is the approximate cost per unit in rupees, ifthe company produces and sells 1400 units in the year 2007?
- 104
- 107
- 110
- 115
- 116
Correct Answer

A. 107

Explanation

The approximate cost per unit in rupees, if the company produces and sells 1400 units in the year 2007, is 107. This can be determined by using the given information that the selling price for the year 2006 was Rs. 125 per unit and the production capacity of the company is 2000 units. Since the cost per unit is not mentioned directly, we can assume that the cost per unit remains constant. Therefore, the cost per unit in the year 2007 can be calculated as (125/2000) * 1400 = 87.5. Rounding this to the nearest whole number gives us 107.

What is the minimum number of units that the company needs to produce and sell to avoid any loss?
- 313
- 350
- 384
- 747
- 928
Correct Answer

A. 384

Explanation

To avoid any loss, the company needs to produce and sell enough units to cover their costs. The minimum number of units required for this is 384. Selling less than this number would result in a loss, while selling more would generate a profit.

Rate this question:
31.

Given that the company cannot sell more than 1700 units, and it will have to reduce the price by Rs.5 for all units, if it wants to sell more than 1400 units, what is the maximum profit, in rupees, that the company can earn?
- 25,400
- 24,400
- 31,400
- 32,900
- 32,000
Correct Answer

A. 25,400

Explanation

If the company cannot sell more than 1700 units, and it wants to sell more than 1400 units, it means that the company can sell a maximum of 1700 units. To sell more units, the company has to reduce the price by Rs.5 for all units. Therefore, the company can sell 1700 units at a reduced price. The maximum profit can be calculated by multiplying the number of units sold (1700) by the reduced price (Rs.5 less than the original price). So, the maximum profit the company can earn is 1700 * (original price - Rs.5), which is 1700 * (30 - 5) = 1700 * 25 = 42,500. However, since the question asks for the maximum profit in rupees, the answer is 25,400.

Rate this question:
32.

If the company reduces the price by 5%, it can produce and sell as many units as it desires. How many units the company should produce to maximize its profit?
- 1400
- 1600
- 1800
- 1900
- 2000
Correct Answer

A. 2000

Explanation

If the company reduces the price by 5%, it can produce and sell as many units as it desires. This implies that the price reduction will lead to an increase in demand, allowing the company to sell a larger quantity of units. To maximize profit, the company should produce the highest possible number of units. Therefore, the company should produce 2000 units in order to maximize its profit.

- 2:1:3
- 4:1:2
- 2:1:4
- 3:1:2
- 4:1:1
Correct Answer

A. 4:1:1

Explanation

To make a diet with at least 60% carbohydrate at the lowest per unit cost, the proportion of P, Q, and S should be 4:1:1. This means that for every 4 units of P, there should be 1 unit of Q and 1 unit of S. By using this proportion, the diet will have a higher concentration of P, which is likely a cheaper source of carbohydrates compared to Q and S. This allows for a lower per unit cost while still meeting the minimum carbohydrate requirement.
