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:

If XPL sold 20,000 units in both 1998 and 1999, by what percentage has the price per unit changed?
-
8.7%
-
10.96%
-
9.86%
-
Cannot be determined
Correct Answer
A. 10.96%Explanation
The percentage change in the price per unit can be calculated by finding the difference between the prices in 1998 and 1999, dividing it by the price in 1998, and then multiplying by 100. Since the number of units sold is the same in both years, it does not affect the calculation. Therefore, the percentage change in the price per unit is 10.96%.Rate this question:

-
I and II only
-
II and III only
-

Correct Answer
A. II and III onlyExplanation
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.Rate this question:

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 PetrovaExplanation
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 ClijstersExplanation
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:

-
10.5 million
-
Data insufficient
Correct Answer
A. 10.5 millionExplanation
The total worth of sugar and wheat production in India can be calculated by finding the sum of the worth of sugar and the worth of wheat. Given that sugar costs Rs. 700 per ton and wheat costs Rs. 400 per ton, we can calculate the total worth by multiplying the cost per ton by the total production in tons. However, the question does not provide any information about the production quantity of sugar and wheat in tons, making it impossible to determine the total worth.

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. 4Explanation
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:

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?

Correct Answer
A. 107Explanation
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.

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.
