Directions for Qs. 1 – 5: Refer to the following information for the following solutions.

We need to make a single table which shows the Auditoriums, Show-times and the movie together, like this:

Morning Afternoon Evening Night

Screen-1
Screen-2
Screen-3
Screen-4 Black

First clue to fill the table is Cheeni Kum was not run in Screen – 3. In night show Black was run in screen – 4, hence
Cheeni Kum must be run in Screen – 1 and Screen – 2 and Aankhen run in Screen – 3 during the night show. Then using
the clues we can complete the table as below:

Morning Afternoon Evening Night

Screen-1 Aankhen Sarkar Raj Aankhen Cheeni Kum
Screen-2 Cheeni Kum Black Aankhen Cheeni Kum
Screen-3 Aankhen / Black Black / Aankhen Sarkar Raj Aankhen
Screen-4 Black / Aankhen Aankhen / Black Cheeni Kum Black

10. (5); Both option (2) and (4) are true.

Directions for Qs. 11 – 15: Refer to the following information for the following solutions.

Given, T = 2U = 3G = 4M
T : U : G : M = 12 : 6 : 4 : 3
Let, T = 12k, U = 6k, G = 4k and M = 3k

11. (3); Let the person invest 'a' Ukas

One kg. of food grain at UP = 50 x 6k x 1.1 = 330k
Now this one Kg. is sold at Gujarat.
45 x 4k x 100 3600k
Amount earned = = 156.5 k
115 23

131313 A7 A
 330k −156.5
∴ Loss percentage
330 k
= 52.5 %

12. (3); Let the rice required for 100 days be x Kgs.
One Kg of rice bought in MP = 25 x 3k x 1.1 = 82.5k
Value of x Kgs = 82.5k
One kg of rice bought in Tamil Nadu = 30 x 12k x 1.05 = 378k
82.5
Now for a value of 82.5kx, he will obtain only ≅ 22% of x Kgs. or he can travel for only 22 days
378

13. (3); One Kg of pulses in MP = 20 x 3 x 1.1. = 66k

10 x 12k x 20
One Kg. of pulses in Tamil Nadu = = 114.3 k
21
He gets a profit of 20% i.e., his selling
Price in Tamil Nadu 66k x 1.2 = 79.2k
Now, customs duty per Kg. = 114.3k - 79.2k = 35.1k
35.1 k
= Takas ≅ 3 Takas
12

14. (4); From the choices

a 45 2
(1) x x <a
50 x 1.1 1.15 3
a 30
(2) x x2>a
30 x 1.1 1.05
a 20 1
(3) x x <a
20 x 1.1 1.1 2

15. (1); Let the investment be 'a' Takas.

4a
∴ If a person bought in MP, quantity = ……..(1)
20 x 1.1
3a
If a person bought in Gujarat, quantity = ……..(2)
15 x 1.15
As (1) > (2), it is profitable to buy in MP,
Similarly for a certain quantity of pulses, it is profitable to sell in Tamil Nadu.

16. (2); I and II

17. (3); I and III

18. (3); I and II

19. (1); I, II and III

20. (5); Cannot be determined

21. (4); Some people can be lawyers as well as women
Also passage of the bill is not defined.
∴ We cannot find out the answer.

63 x 550 + 58 x 250
22. (1); Average age = = 61.43
550 + 250

23. (3); Minimum case is when all the Rajya Sabha female members are Hindus, i.e., 42.
So, minimum number of Hindu males is 64.

267 +112
24. (2); Percentage of Congress(I) members =
550 + 250

25. (2); 42
