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 the announcement of extraordinarily good results were only one and 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?
- A.
30%
- B.
31 Y4%
- C.
32 1/2%
- D.
Cannot be determined
Correct Answer
A. 30%Explanation
The minimum average return Venkat would have earned during the year is 30%. This can be determined by analyzing the given information. It is mentioned that the returns on the stocks of the two companies with extraordinarily good results were higher than the initially expected returns. For the company belonging to the Cement or the IT industry, the returns were twice that of the initially expected returns. For the company belonging to the Steel or Auto industry, the returns on the announcement of extraordinarily good results were only one and a half times that of the initially expected returns. Since it is not specified which companies belong to which industries, we cannot determine the exact returns for each company. However, we can conclude that the minimum average return would be 30% because even if both companies with extraordinarily good results belonged to the Steel or Auto industry (resulting in returns of 1.5 times the initially expected returns), the average return would still be 30%.Rate this question:

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.
- A.
I and II only
- B.
II and III only
- C.
III and IV only
- D.
II and IV only
Correct Answer
B. II and III onlyExplanation
The question states that Venkat earned a 35% return on average during the year. This means that his investments performed well. Statement II says that Company B did not announce extraordinarily good results, which is consistent with Venkat's 35% return. Statement III says that Company A announced extraordinarily good results, which is also consistent with Venkat's 35% return. Therefore, the correct answer is II and III only.Rate this question:

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.
- A.
I and II only
- B.
II and III only
- C.
III and IV only
- D.
II and IV only
Correct Answer
C. III and IV onlyExplanation
Based on the given information, the only statements that can be inferred as necessarily true are III and IV. The return percentage of Venkat is not directly related to the industries or the announcement of results by the companies. Therefore, statements I and II cannot be determined to be true based on the given information. However, statement III can be true if Company A announced extraordinarily good results during the year, and statement IV can be true if Company B did not announce extraordinarily good results.Rate this question:

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 a 33.75% return on average, Company A announced extraordinarily good results. Iv. If&undefined; Venkat earned 33.75% return on average, Company B belonged either to Auto or to Steel Industry.
- A.
I and II only
- B.
II and IV only
- C.
II and III only
- D.
III and IV only
Correct Answer
B. II and IV onlyExplanation
If Company C belonged to the Cement or the IT industry and announced extraordinarily good results, it can be concluded that Venkat earned not less than 33.75% return on average (statement II) because the results were exceptionally good. Additionally, if Venkat earned a 33.75% return on average, it can be inferred that Company B belonged either to the Auto or Steel industry (statement IV). Therefore, the correct answer is II and IV only.Rate this question:

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.
- A.
If Statement 2 is true then Statement 1 is necessarily false.
- B.
If Statement I is false then Statement 2 is necessarily true.
- C.
If Statement I is true then Statement 2 is necessarily true.
- D.
None of the above.
Correct Answer
C. If Statement I is true then Statement 2 is necessarily true.Explanation
If Statement 1 is true, it means that Aggressive Ltd. has lower revenues from MP compared to other regions. If Statement 2 is true, it means that Honest Ltd. has lower revenues from Bihar compared to other regions. Therefore, if Statement 1 is true, it implies that Statement 2 is also true, as both companies have their lowest revenues from specific regions.Rate this question:

If Statement I is true then Statement 2 is necessarily true.
- B.
"If Statement 1 is true then Statement 2 is necessarily false.
- C.
Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true.
- D.
Neither Statement 1 nor Statement 2 is true.
Correct Answer
B. "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, this does not necessarily mean that Honest Ltd.'s total revenue is more than Profitable Ltd. Statement 2 could be true or false, depending on the actual values of Honest Ltd.'s total revenue. Therefore, if Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is not necessarily true, making the correct answer "If Statement 1 is true then Statement 2 is necessarily false."Rate this question:

- A.
Truthful Ltd. 's lowest revenues are from MP.
- B.
Truthful Ltd. 's lowest revenues are from Bihar.
- C.
Truthful Ltd. 's lowest revenues are from UP.
- D.
No definite conclusion is possible.
Correct Answer
C. Truthful Ltd. 's lowest revenues are from UP.Explanation
If Profitable Ltd.'s lowest revenue is from UP, it means that UP generates the least amount of revenue for Profitable Ltd. Therefore, it can be inferred that Truthful Ltd.'s lowest revenues are also from UP, as there is no information provided to suggest otherwise.Rate this question:

- A.
Amelie Mauresmo
- B.
Elena Dementieva
- C.
Kim Clijsters
- D.
Lindsay Davenport
Correct Answer
C. Kim ClijstersExplanation
If the top eight seeds make it to the quarterfinals, then the players who would potentially reach the final are among the top eight seeds. Since Kim Clijsters is listed among the players, it can be inferred that she is one of the top eight seeds. Therefore, if Sharapova reaches the final, she would not play against Kim Clijsters, as they would both be in the final.Rate this question:

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 the quarter-finals, in case Davenport reaches quarter-finals?
- A.
Justine Henin
- B.
Nadia Petrova
- C.
Patty Schnyder
- D.
Venus Williams
Correct Answer
D. Venus WilliamsExplanation
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 players with the lower seed in these matches have won. Since Lindsay Davenport is a higher seeded player, she would have won her second-round match. Therefore, the player who would meet Lindsay Davenport in the quarter-finals would be Venus Williams, as she is the only option left among the given choices.Rate this question:

- A.
Anastasia Myskina
- B.
Flavia Pennetta
- C.
Nadia Petrova
- D.
Svetlana Kuznetsova
Correct Answer
A. Anastasia MyskinaExplanation
If all even-numbered matches result in upsets in the first round and there are no upsets in the second round, it means that the lowest seeded players have advanced to the semi-finals.

Which of the following additional information would enable us to find the exact number of volunteers involved in various projects?
- A.
Twenty volunteers are involved in FR.
- B.
Four volunteers are involved in all the three projects.
- C.
Twenty three volunteers are involved in exactly one project.
- D.
No need for any additional information.
Correct Answer
A. Twenty volunteers are involved in FR.Explanation
The additional information needed to find the exact number of volunteers involved in various projects is the number of volunteers involved in FR. This is because the given information only provides the number of volunteers involved in all three projects and exactly one project, but does not specify the number of volunteers involved in FR. Therefore, knowing the number of volunteers involved in FR would allow us to calculate the total number of volunteers involved in various projects.Rate this question:

After some time, the volunteers who were involved in all 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 of the ER project, while the remaining ones involved in all three projects opted out of the FR project. Which of the following statements, then, necessarily follows?
- A.
The lowest number of volunteers is now in the TR project.
- B.
More volunteers are now in the FR project as compared to the ER project.
- C.
More volunteers are now in the TR project as compared to the ER project.
- D.
None of the above.
Correct Answer
B. More volunteers are now in the FR project as compared to the ER project.Explanation
After some time, the volunteers who were involved in all three projects were asked to withdraw from one project. This means that some volunteers who were initially involved in all three projects opted out of the FR project. Therefore, the number of volunteers in the FR project must have decreased, while the number of volunteers in the ER project remained the same. Therefore, the statement "More volunteers are now in the FR project as compared to the ER project" necessarily follows.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. 66.67Explanation
The correct answer of 66.67 suggests that two-thirds of the members who voted for Beijing in round 2 and were eligible to vote in round 3, voted for London. This means that a significant majority of the members who initially supported Beijing switched their vote to London in round 3.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
E. If the question cannot be answered on the basis of the two statements.Explanation
The question cannot be answered on the basis of the two statements because neither statement provides information about the final score of the match. Statement A only provides information about the number of goals scored by Mahindra and Mahindra Club in the second half, but it does not indicate if they won the match. Similarly, Statement B only provides information about the opponent's goals, but it does not indicate if Mahindra and Mahindra Club won the match. Therefore, without additional information, it is not possible to determine if Mahindra and Mahindra Club won the match.Rate this question:

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 sixty percent of the top academic performers were not athletes. This means that out of the ten top academic performers, six of them were not athletes. Therefore, using statement A alone, we can determine that there were six top academic performers in the school. However, statement B does not provide any specific information about the number of top academic performers in relation to athletes. Therefore, statement B alone cannot answer the question.Rate this question:

- E.
If the question cannot be answered on the basis of the two statements.
Correct Answer
D. If the question can be answered by using both the statements together but not by either of the statements alone.Explanation
Based on statement A, we know that Atul was the last rank holder. However, this information alone does not allow us to determine the rank of the other students.
Based on statement B, we know that Bala was not among the top two rank holders. This information alone does not allow us to determine the rank of the other students either.
However, when we consider both statements together, we can infer that Atul was the last rank holder and Bala was not among the top two rank holders. This means that Atul must have obtained the highest rank among the five students. Therefore, the question can be answered by using both statements together but not by either of the statements alone.Rate this question:

- E.
If the question cannot be answered on the basis of the two statements.
Correct Answer
D. If the question can be answered by using both the statements together but not by either of the statements alone.Explanation
The percentage of male employees with an engineering background cannot be determined using statement A alone because it only provides information about the overall percentage of employees with an engineering background, not specifically the male employees. Similarly, statement B alone does not provide enough information to determine the percentage of male employees with an engineering background as it only compares the number of male and female employees with an engineering background. However, by combining both statements, we can determine the percentage of male employees with an engineering background by calculating 10% of the 30% of male employees. Therefore, the question can be answered by using both the statements together but not by either of the statements alone.Rate this question:

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?

- C.
110
- D.

- E.
116
Correct Answer
B. 107Explanation
The approximate cost per unit in rupees for the year 2007 can be determined by dividing the total cost by the number of units produced and sold. Since the question states that some costs change almost in direct proportion to the change in volume of production, it can be assumed that the total cost will also change in direct proportion to the number of units produced and sold. Therefore, the approximate cost per unit in rupees for the year 2007 can be calculated as the selling price for the year 2006 (Rs. 125 per unit) divided by the production capacity for the year 2006 (2000 units) multiplied by the number of units produced and sold in the year 2007 (1400 units), which equals 107 rupees per unit.Rate this question:

- E.
928
Correct Answer
C. 384Explanation
To avoid any loss, the company needs to produce and sell enough units to cover its costs. The minimum number of units required can be determined by finding the break-even point, which is the point at which total revenue equals total costs. Since the question does not provide any information about costs or revenue, it is not possible to calculate the exact break-even point. However, out of the given options, 384 is the highest number, indicating that it is the minimum number of units the company needs to produce and sell to avoid any loss.Rate this question:

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?
- A.
25,400
- B.
24,400
- C.
31,400
- D.
32,900
- E.
32,000
Correct Answer
A. 25,400Explanation
The maximum profit that the company can earn is 25,400 rupees. This can be determined by calculating the profit at different levels of unit sales. If the company sells 1400 units, it can earn a profit of 1400 * (original price - 0) = 1400 * original price. If the company sells more than 1400 units, it will have to reduce the price by Rs.5 for all units. So, if the company sells 1700 units, it can earn a profit of 1700 * (original price - 5). Comparing these two scenarios, it is clear that the maximum profit is obtained when the company sells 1400 units, which is 1400 * original price. Therefore, the maximum profit is 25,400 rupees.Rate this question:

- C.
1800
- D.
1900
- E.
2000
Correct Answer
E. 2000Explanation
If the company reduces the price by 5%, it can produce and sell as many units as it desires. To maximize its profit, the company should produce the maximum number of units possible. Since the company can produce and sell as many units as it desires, it should produce the highest possible number of units. Therefore, the company should produce 2000 units to maximize its profit.Rate this question:
