Quinn: Our state is considering raising the age at which a person can get a driver's license to eighteen. This is unfair because the age has been sixteen for many years and sixteen-year-olds today are no less responsible than their parents and grandparents were at sixteen.Many young people today who are fourteen and fifteen years old are preparing to receive their licenses by driving with a learner's permit and a licensed driver, usually one of their parents. It would not be fair to suddenly say they have to wait two more years.Dakota: It is true that people have been allowed to receive a drivers license at sixteen for generations. However, in recent years, the increase in traffic means drivers face more dangers than ever and must be ready to respond to a variety of situations. The fact that schools can no longer afford to teach drivers education results in too many young drivers who are not prepared to face the traffic conditions of today.

Education is perhaps the most vital requirement for inclusive growth, empowering individuals and society, opening up opportuníties and promoting trué public participation in the development process. It is an important factor fhat fuels both social change and economic growth.India is actively pushing forward its agenda for revamping and restructuring education in the country. Thanks to schemes like the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan and Midday Meal Schemes, enrolment rates in schools have gone up, as have the number of schools. Right to Education is now a fundamental right of all children in the age group of 6 to 14 years. In simple words, it means that the government will be responsible for providing education to every' child up to eighth standard, free of cost, irrespective of his class and gender. It has, thus, paved the way for building a strong literate and empowered society in this country.However, the realisation of this objective is not going to be very easy, not when the school system in the country, especially that in rural areas, continues to be plagued by problems of poor infrastructure, shortage of teachers, their lack of training and motivation besides poverty and livelihood issues that are responsible for the huge drop-out rates. It is estimated that there is a shortage of nearly five lakh teachers, while about three lakh of them are untrained at the elementary school stage. Over 53 per cent of schools have a student teacher ratio much poorer than the 1:30 prescribed under the Act. About 46 per cent schools do not have toilets for girls, which is another reason why parents do not send girl children to schools.However, if our track records in literacy is an indication, we can be quite hopeful of achieving the target of providing school education to all our children. A 65 per cent literacy rate in 2001 from a mere 14 per cent in 1947 is a record established with a lot of vision and hard work — a record we can be justifiably proud of. India's commitment to provide compulsory education to nearly 22 crore children between the ages of 6 to 14 years is evident in schemes like those providing rural children with stipends, free unifórms and text books, mid-day meals and special attention to education of the girl child. While issues of equity, quality and access remain areas of concern, particularly in rural schools, rapid efforts are being made to address them effectively and in a sustained manner.By enacting the Right to Education, India now joins a select few countries in the world where education is a fundamental right. Education is the surest route to development. It will transform the whole society and the gains of such a development will be inclusive and widespread.

The difference between a two digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the positions of its digits is 36. What is the difference between the two digits of that number?
- A.
4
- B.
9
- C.
3
- D.
Cannot be determined
- E.
None of these
Correct Answer
A. 4Explanation
Let's assume the two-digit number is represented as AB, where A is the tens digit and B is the units digit. The number obtained by interchanging the positions of its digits is represented as BA. According to the given information, AB - BA = 36. This can be simplified to 10A + B - (10B + A) = 36, which further simplifies to 9A - 9B = 36. Dividing both sides by 9 gives A - B = 4. Therefore, the difference between the two digits of the number is 4.Rate this question:

The area of a rectangular field is 460 square metres. If the length is 15 percent more than the breadth, what is breadth of the rectangular field?
- A.
15 Meters
- B.
26 Meters
- C.
34.5 meters
- D.
Cannot be determined
- E.
None of these
Correct Answer
E. None of theseExplanation
Since the area of the rectangular field is given as 460 square meters, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is length multiplied by breadth. Let's assume the breadth of the field is x meters. According to the given information, the length is 15% more than the breadth, which means the length is 1.15x meters. Therefore, the equation becomes x * 1.15x = 460. Simplifying this equation, we get 1.15x^2 = 460. Solving for x, we find that the breadth is approximately 17.39 meters. Therefore, the correct answer is None of these.Rate this question:

- E.
None of these
Correct Answer
A. Rs 192.50Explanation
Deepa bought the calculator at a price of Rs 192.50. This can be determined by setting up an equation based on the given information. Let the listed price of the calculator be x. According to the question, Deepa got a 30% discount on the listed price, so she paid 0.7x for the calculator. If she had not received the discount, she would have paid Rs.82.50 extra, so the equation becomes 0.7x + Rs.82.50 = x. Solving this equation gives x = Rs 275. Therefore, Deepa bought the calculator for 0.7 * 275 = Rs 192.50.Rate this question:

A motor starts with the speed of 70 kmph with its speed increase in every two hours by 10kmph. In how many hours will it cover 345 Kms?
- A.
2 1/4 Hours
- B.
4 1/2 Hours
- C.
4 Hours 5 min
- D.
Cannot be determined
- E.
None of these
Correct Answer
B. 4 1/2 HoursExplanation
The motor starts with a speed of 70 kmph and increases its speed by 10 kmph every two hours. To find the time it takes to cover 345 km, we can divide the total distance by the speed at which it covers the distance. The motor's speed increases by 10 kmph every two hours, so in 4 hours, it would have increased by 20 kmph. Therefore, the motor's speed after 4 hours would be 70 + 20 = 90 kmph. Dividing 345 km by 90 kmph gives us approximately 3.83 hours, which is equivalent to 3 hours and 50 minutes. However, since the options only provide whole numbers, the closest option is 4 1/2 hours.Rate this question:

- B.
Rs 1,700
- C.
Rs 3,440
- D.
Cannot be determined
- E.
None of these
Correct Answer
C. Rs 3,440Explanation
The cost of gardening the boundary around a rectangular plot can be calculated by finding the perimeter of the plot and then multiplying it by the rate per square meter. In this case, the perimeter is given as 340 meters. Since the boundary is 1 meter wide, the length and width of the plot cannot be determined from the given information. Therefore, it is not possible to calculate the exact cost. Hence, the answer "Cannot be determined" is correct.Rate this question:

In how many different ways a group of 4 men and 4 women be formed out of 7 men and 8 women ?
- A.
2450
- B.
105
- C.
1170
- D.
Cannot be determined
- E.
None of these
Correct Answer
A. 2450Explanation
The question asks for the number of different ways a group of 4 men and 4 women can be formed out of 7 men and 8 women. This is a combination problem, as the order in which the individuals are chosen does not matter. The formula for combinations is nCr, where n is the total number of individuals and r is the number of individuals being chosen. In this case, the number of ways to choose 4 men out of 7 is 7C4, which is equal to 7! / (4! * (7-4)!) = 35. Similarly, the number of ways to choose 4 women out of 8 is 8C4, which is equal to 8! / (4! * (8-4)!) = 70. Since these choices are independent, the total number of different ways to form the group is 35 * 70 = 2450.Rate this question:

if p > q
- C.
If p ≤ q
- D.
If p ≥ q
- E.
If p = q
Correct Answer
B. if p > qExplanation
The given answer "if p > q" is correct because in the first equation, p2-7p = -12, we can rearrange it to p2 - 7p + 12 = 0. By factoring this equation, we get (p-3)(p-4) = 0. Therefore, we have two possible values for p: p = 3 or p = 4. In the second equation, q2 - 3q + 2 = 0, we can also factor it to (q-1)(q-2) = 0. This gives us two possible values for q: q = 1 or q = 2. Since 4 is greater than 2, we can conclude that p > q.Rate this question:

- C.
If p ≤ q
- D.
If p ≥ q
- E.
If p = q
Correct Answer
C. If p ≤ qExplanation
The given equations are 2p^2 + 20p + 50 = 0 and q^2 = 25. The first equation is a quadratic equation with coefficients 2, 20, and 50. The second equation is a simple quadratic equation with q^2 = 25. To find the relationship between p and q, we need to solve these equations. By solving the first equation, we find that it has no real solutions. By solving the second equation, we find that q can be either -5 or 5. Since there are no real solutions for the first equation, we cannot determine a specific relationship between p and q. Therefore, the answer is if p ≤ q.Rate this question:

- C.
67(1/2)
- D.
72(1/2)
Correct Answer
C. 67(1/2)Explanation
At 15 minutes past 5, the minute hand would be at the 3 position, while the hour hand would be slightly past the 5 position. To determine the angle between the hands, we can calculate the angle covered by the hour hand from 5 to slightly past 5, which is 30 degrees (since the hour hand covers 30 degrees in an hour). Additionally, the minute hand would have covered 15 minutes, which is 1/4th of the clock face or 90 degrees (since the minute hand covers 360 degrees in an hour). Therefore, the angle between the hands would be 90 degrees - 30 degrees, which equals 60 degrees. However, since the minute hand is slightly past the 3 position, the angle would be slightly more than 60 degrees. The closest option to this is 67(1/2) degrees.Rate this question:

Kamal started a business investing Rs.9000. After five months, Sameer joined with capital of Rs.8000. If at the end of the year, they earn profit of Rs.6970, then What will be the share of Sameer in the profit?
- A.
Rs. 1883
- B.
Rs. 2380
- C.
Rs. 3690
- D.
None of these
Correct Answer
B. Rs. 2380Explanation
To find Sameer's share in the profit, we need to calculate the ratio of his investment to the total investment. Kamal's investment is for the entire year, while Sameer's investment is for only 7 months (12 months - 5 months).
Kamal's investment = Rs. 9000 * 12 = Rs. 108000
Sameer's investment = Rs. 8000 * 7 = Rs. 56000
Total investment = Rs. 108000 + Rs. 56000 = Rs. 164000
Sameer's share in the profit = (Sameer's investment / Total investment) * Profit
Sameer's share = (56000 / 164000) * 6970 = Rs. 2380
Therefore, Sameer's share in the profit is Rs. 2380.Rate this question:

Two pipes A and B together can fill a cistern in 4 hours. Had they been opened separately, then B would have taken 6 hours more than A to fill the cistern. How much time A will take to fill the cistern separately?
- A.
1 Hours
- B.
2 Hours
- C.
6 Hours
- D.
8 Hours
Correct Answer
C. 6 HoursExplanation
If we assume that A takes x hours to fill the cistern alone, then B takes (x + 6) hours to fill the cistern alone.
The rate at which A fills the cistern is 1/x, and the rate at which B fills the cistern is 1/(x+6).
When both pipes are opened together, their combined rate is 1/4.
Using the formula for combined rates, 1/x + 1/(x+6) = 1/4.
Solving this equation, we find that x = 6. Therefore, A will take 6 hours to fill the cistern separately.Rate this question:

Two pipes can fill a tank in 12 hours and 15 hours respectively while a third pipe empties the full tank in 20 hours. Pipe A and B open together at 6:00 AM and C is also open at 10:00 AM, then the tank will be filled at what time?
- A.
12:00 PM
- B.
2:00 PM
- C.
3:00 PM
- D.
4:00 PM
Correct Answer
B. 2:00 PMExplanation
Since pipe A and B are open together, they can fill 1/12 + 1/15 = 9/60 = 3/20 of the tank in one hour.
Pipe C empties the tank at a rate of 1/20 per hour.
From 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM, a total of 4 hours have passed, so the tank has been filled by (4 * 3/20) - (4 * 1/20) = 12/20 - 4/20 = 8/20 = 2/5.
Therefore, 3/5 of the tank still needs to be filled.
Since the rate of filling is 3/20 per hour, it will take (3/5) / (3/20) = 4 hours to fill the remaining part.
Thus, the tank will be filled at 10:00 AM + 4 hours = 2:00 PM.Rate this question:

The cost price of 20 articles is the same as the selling price of x articles. If the profit is 25%, then the value of x is:
- A.
15
- B.
16
- C.
18
- D.
25
Correct Answer
B. 16Explanation
If the cost price of 20 articles is equal to the selling price of x articles, then the profit can be calculated by subtracting the cost price from the selling price. Since the profit is given to be 25%, it means that the selling price is 125% of the cost price. Therefore, the equation can be set up as 125% of the cost price of 20 articles equals the cost price of x articles. By simplifying this equation, we find that x is equal to 16.Rate this question:

A man complete a journey in 10 hours. He travels first half of the journey at the rate of 21 km/hr and second half at the rate of 24 km/hr. Find the total journey in km.
- A.
220 KM
- B.
224 KM
- C.
230 KM
- D.
234 KM
Correct Answer
B. 224 KMExplanation
The man travels the first half of the journey at a speed of 21 km/hr and the second half at a speed of 24 km/hr. Since the time taken for both halves is the same (10 hours), we can assume that the distances covered in both halves are equal. Let's assume the distance of the journey is 'd' km. Therefore, the distance covered in the first half is d/2 km and the distance covered in the second half is also d/2 km. Using the formula distance = speed × time, we can set up the equation (d/2) = 21 × t and solve for t. Similarly, we can set up another equation (d/2) = 24 × t and solve for t. By equating the two values of t, we can solve for 'd' which comes out to be 224 km.Rate this question:

If p = q
Correct Answer
C. If p ≤ qExplanation
The given equations are quadratic equations in the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0. In order to determine the relationship between p and q, we need to find the roots of the equations. By solving the equations, we can find the values of p and q. If the value of p is less than or equal to the value of q, then the answer is "if p ≤ q". This is because p can be equal to q or less than q, but it cannot be greater than q. Therefore, the correct answer is "if p ≤ q".Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. All are implicitExplanation
The statement suggests that the government has decided to release a vast quantity of food grains from FCI during the pre-harvest kharif season. This implies that there may be a shortage of food grains in the market during this season (assumption I). Additionally, the statement mentions that the kharif crop may be able to replenish the stock of FCI, indicating that the government expects the kharif crop to contribute to the food grain supply (assumption II). Lastly, the statement suggests that there may be a demand from the farmers to procure the kharif crop immediately after harvest, implying that farmers are likely to want to sell their crops (assumption III). Therefore, all the assumptions are implicit in the statement.Rate this question:
