Directions for Questions (11 - 14): Read the passage and answer the questions that follow. Why am I an Indian? I did not have any choice. I was born one. If the good Lord had consulted me on the subject, I might have chosen a country more affluent, less crowded, less censorious in matters of food and drink, unconcerned with personal equations and free of religious bigotry. Am I proud of being an Indian? I can’t really answer this one. I can scarcely take credit for the achievements of my forefathers. And I have little reason to be proud of what we are doing today. On balance, I would say, ‘No, I am not proud of being an Indian’. ‘Why don’t you get out and settle in some other country?’ Once again I have very little choice. All the countries I might like to settle in have restricted quotas for emigrants, most of them are whites and have a prejudice against colored people. In any case, I feel more relaxed and at home in India. I dislike many things in my country – mostly the government. I know the government is not the same thing as the country, but it never stops trying to appear in that garb. This is where I belong and this is where I intend to live and die. Of course, I like going abroad. Living is easier, wine and food is better, women more forthcoming – it’s more fun. However, I soon get tired of all those things and want to get back to my dung-heap and be among my loud-mouthed, sweaty, smelly countrymen. I am like my kinsmen in Africa and England and elsewhere. My head tells me it’s better to live abroad, my belly tells me it is more fulfilling to be in ‘phoren’ but my heart tells me ‘get back to India’. Each time I return home and drive through the stench of bare-bottomed defecators that line the road from Cruz airport to the city I ask myself, Breathes there the man with soul so dead who never to himself hath said This is my own, my native land? I can scarcely breathe, but I yell, ‘Yeah, this is my native land. I don’t like it, but I love it’. Are you an Indian first and a Punjabi or Sikh second? Or is it the other way round?

What does the author talk about?
- Self reliance
- Expression of self
- Latent feelings
- A genius

- Lack of self respect
- Not speaking out one’s mind before somebody says the same
- Dislike of the verses written by the eminent painter
- The valuable sentiment of the reader
Correct Answer

A. Not speaking out one’s mind before somebody says the same

Explanation

The correct answer is "not speaking out one’s mind before somebody says the same". The passage mentions that the soul always hears an admonition, which suggests that there is a feeling of regret or admonishment for not expressing one's thoughts before someone else does.

You have to choose one of them as your answer to the question or the argument.The Committee of Governmental Experts which worked out the model Provisions did not lose sight of the necessity of maintaining a proper balance between protection against abuses of expressions of folklore, on the one hand, and of the freedom and encouragement of further development and dissemination of folklore, on the other. The Committee took into account that expressions of folklore formed a living body of human culture which should not be stifled by very rigid protection. It also considered that any protecting system should be practicable and effective, rather than a system of imaginative requirements, unworkable in reality? Which of the following can be an inference drawn from this paragraph?
- The Committee has made efforts to reduce the tautness of the laws made for the protection of expression of folklore
- Expressions of folklore are now entirely dependent on the Model provisions
- The Committee’s intention is to negotiate the protection of expressions of folklore and their humanistic elements

You have to choose one of them as your answer to the question or the argument.As population continues to grow, it becomes necessary in due course of time to cultivate the land of still poorer quality – land of the third grade. In such a situation, the second grade land also yields rent while the first grade land yields still higher rent, being equal to the difference between the value of the produce raised in superior lands and that of the third grade land. If population continues to grow, the third grade land will also become a rent-land, fourth grade land taking the place of the marginal or no – rent land. Thus, the basic cause of the emergence and growth of rent can be traced to the growing difficulty of raising food to support the population which is constantly growing. Which of the following can be a continuation of this paragraph?
- Corn raised over different kinds of land is sold in the same market at the same price
- Often, additional doses of labor and capital are applied to land already under cultivation instead of taking up new land
- This difference in rent emerges both in the case of extensive as well as intensive cultivation
- As population increases, the demand for food, too, grows which is followed by the growth of rent
Correct Answer

A. This difference in rent emerges both in the case of extensive as well as intensive cultivation

Explanation

The given paragraph discusses the emergence and growth of rent due to the growing difficulty of raising food to support a growing population. The statement "This difference in rent emerges both in the case of extensive as well as intensive cultivation" is a continuation of this discussion because it highlights that the difference in rent applies to both extensive (cultivating more land) and intensive (applying more labor and capital to existing land) cultivation methods. This statement further supports the idea that rent increases as population grows and more land of poorer quality needs to be cultivated.

Let C be a circle with centre P₀ and AB be a diameter of C. Suppose P₁ is the mid point of the line segment P₀B₁, P₂ is the mid point of the line segment P₁B and so on. Let C₁, C₂, C₃, …..be the circles with diameters P₀P₁, P₁P₂, P₂P₃, …….respectively. Suppose that circles C₁, C₂, ….are all shaded. The ratio of the area of the unshaded portion of C to that of the original circle C is
- 8 : 9
- 9 : 10
- 10 : 11
- 11 : 12
Correct Answer

A. 11 : 12

Explanation

Each circle Cn has half the radius of the previous circle C(n-1). Therefore, the ratio of the area of Cn to C(n-1) is (1/2)^2 = 1/4. Since the first circle C1 is shaded, the ratio of the shaded area to the original circle C is (1/4)^1 + (1/4)^2 + (1/4)^3 + ... = 1/3. The ratio of the unshaded portion to the original circle C is 1 - 1/3 = 2/3. Simplifying 2/3 gives 11/12, so the correct answer is 11 : 12.

A string of length 40metres is divided into three parts of different lengths. The first part is three times the second part, and the last part is 23 metres smaller than the first part, then the length of the largest part is
- 27
- 24
- 25
- 23
Correct Answer

A. 27

Explanation

The first part is three times the second part, so let's call the second part x. Therefore, the first part is 3x. The last part is 23 meters smaller than the first part, so it is 3x - 23. The sum of the three parts is equal to the total length of 40 meters, so we can write the equation: x + 3x + (3x - 23) = 40. Simplifying this equation, we get 7x - 23 = 40. Solving for x, we find that x = 9. Therefore, the largest part is 3x = 3(9) = 27 meters.

A person is asked to randomly pick two balls from a bag which has 15 red and 5 blue balls. The probability that the person picks two balls of the same colour is
- 33/38
- 23/38
- 38/43
- 15/38
Correct Answer

A. 23/38

Explanation

The probability of picking two balls of the same color can be calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (picking two red balls or two blue balls) by the total number of possible outcomes. In this case, the number of favorable outcomes is the sum of picking two red balls (15C2) and picking two blue balls (5C2), which is (15*14)/2 + (5*4)/2 = 210. The total number of possible outcomes is the sum of picking any two balls from the bag, which is (15+5)C2 = 20C2 = (20*19)/2 = 190. Therefore, the probability is 210/190 = 23/38.

N is a four digit perfect square whose decimal digits are each less than 7. If each digit in N is increased by 3, then the new number is also a perfect square. What is the square root of N?
- 32
- 34
- 38
- 44
Correct Answer

A. 34

Explanation

If each digit in N is increased by 3, the new number will be 3 more than the original number. Since the original number is a perfect square, the new number must also be a perfect square. The only option that satisfies this condition is 34, because if we add 3 to each digit of 34, we get 37, which is a perfect square (37^2 = 1369). Therefore, the square root of N is 34.

How many lead balls of radius ½ cm can be made out of a solid lead sphere of diameter 16 cms?
- < 4000
- > 3000, < 4000
- Around 8000
- > 4000
Correct Answer

A. > 4000

Explanation

The diameter of the solid lead sphere is given as 16 cm. Since the radius is half of the diameter, the radius of the sphere is 8 cm. To find the number of lead balls that can be made, we need to divide the volume of the solid lead sphere by the volume of each lead ball. The volume of a sphere is given by the formula (4/3)πr^3. Plugging in the radius of the solid lead sphere, we get (4/3)π(8)^3. The volume of each lead ball is given by the formula (4/3)πr^3, where the radius is 1/2 cm. Plugging in the radius of the lead ball, we get (4/3)π(1/2)^3. Dividing the volume of the solid lead sphere by the volume of each lead ball, we get a number greater than 4000.

if 6x – 4y = 8, then 2y – 3x is:
- - 4
- – 8
- 8
- 16
Correct Answer

A. - 4

Explanation

To find the value of 2y - 3x, we can rearrange the given equation 6x - 4y = 8 to solve for x in terms of y. First, we add 4y to both sides of the equation, resulting in 6x = 4y + 8. Then, we divide both sides by 6 to isolate x, giving us x = (4y + 8)/6. Now, we substitute this expression for x into 2y - 3x. This gives us 2y - 3((4y + 8)/6). Simplifying further, we get 2y - (2y + 4) = 2y - 2y - 4 = -4. Therefore, the value of 2y - 3x is -4.

Four friends bought a car. The first friend paid half of the sum paid by the others, the second paid one third of the sum paid by the others ; the third paid one quarter of what was paid by the others. If the fourth paid Rs. 13,000 then find the cost of the car.
- Rs. 39,000
- Rs. 52,000
- Rs. 60,000
- Cannot be determined
Correct Answer

A. Rs. 60,000

Explanation

The fourth friend paid Rs. 13,000, which is one-twelfth of the total cost of the car because he paid one-fourth of what was paid by the others. So, the total cost of the car can be found by multiplying Rs. 13,000 by 12, which equals Rs. 156,000. However, the question asks for the cost of the car, not the total amount paid by all four friends. Since the first friend paid half of what the others paid, the cost of the car would be half of Rs. 156,000, which is Rs. 78,000. Therefore, the correct answer is Rs. 60,000.

A. a is even . B. c is odd.
- [a]
- [b]
- [c]
- [d]
Correct Answer

A. [a]

Explanation

The question asks whether b is odd or even. Statement A states that a is even, which means that a can be written as 2k, where k is an integer. Since a = 2b, we can substitute 2k for a and get 2k = 2b, which simplifies to k = b. This means that b is also even, since it is equal to k, which is an integer. Therefore, we can determine that b is even based on statement A alone. Statement B, which states that c is odd, does not provide any information about the value of b. Therefore, statement B alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
