Ans. 41. (b) There are 2 married couples, hence 2
males. E is an engineer, hence cannot be
female. Total males = 3.
Ans. 42. (a) From the above, E can be either engineer
or housewife. Since she is not a housewife, E
is an engineer.
Ans. 43. (d) We have 2 couples : Lawyer D (house-
wife) and C (accountant) F (professor).
Since A is married to a housewife, one of the
couples is AD.
Ans. 44. (c) G cannot occupy a position next to B.
Ans. 45. (d) E can be only on 2nd or 3rd position,
from the above.
Since A is on 6th or 7th position, E and A
canot be together.
Ans. 46. (c) From the given information, we get
C or D

B A or G
We note that C or D can be on the left end
while G can be on the right end. Hence (c).
47. (d) What we get from (1) and (2) is that P is either
the grandfather or grandmother of Q. Hence a
definite answer is not possible.
48. (c) We note from (1) that C, who is the son of A, is
the father of B. So we get from (1) that A is
either the grandfather or grandmother of B.
We get from (2) that A is a man.
Hence it follows from (1) and (2) that A is the
grandfather of B.
Both (1) and (2) are needed. Hence (C)
49. (b) We note from (2) that K is a woman. So we get
the answer from (2) alone. (The answer is No).
Hence (b).
50. (d) We note from (1) and (2) that the weight of
Sukumar is less than that of Sridhar. But this
does not necessarily mean that Sukumar is
leaner than Sridhar. (Other factors like height
etc. also come in).
We cannot give a definite answer.

Value of tea exported during last three years

least. Hence the answer is France.

U.S.S.R. and U.S.A. spend = $ 280 billion

Hence it was during 2000-01 that the ratio was minimum between Defence expenditure and GNP.

From the chart we find only in four years the additional taxa-
tion was more than the average additional taxation.
Hence answer is 4 years.
68. (b) The year in which fractional change in GNP was
minimum was in 2001-02 from 2000-01 the change
being
130000 120000 = 100000
(In all the other years the change was more than
10,000 in GNP). Corresponding to this, fractional
change in Defence expenditure in 2001-02 from
2000-01 was
4500 3800 = 700 crores
.
69. (d) (i) From the table we observe that percentage
increase in both defence expenditure and GNP
did not always increase (though in obsolute
terms they increased).
(ii) Additional taxation was not maximum in 1999-
2000 but only in 2003-04
(iii) Increase in defence expenditure was not in the
same proportion as GNP.
(iv) Hence the answer is none of the above.

Population of city D is more by 200000 than city
C.
72. (c) Population of city E = 800000
Population of city B = 500000
Difference = 300000
Population of city B is less by 300000 than city E.
73. (a) Obviously city D and city E have population of
600000 and 800000. Hence the answer is : Cities
D and E have population of more than 500000.

78. (c) In the previous question we saw that in a hire-pur-
chase, the total price will be Rs. 8232.
25% deposit = Rs. 1680,

know anything about the other sources of in-
come, if any, of these two people.
91. (c) We do not get the answer from (1) alone or (2)
alone.
The lamp is lighted up [(2)]. Hence it follows
from what is given in the introductory part that
one and only one of the two parameters (pres-
sure or temperature) is low. At this stage, we
do not know which one is low.
We note from (1) that the temperature is low.
Hence the other parameter, namely pressure,
is not low.
Both (1) and (2) are needed. Hence (C)
92. (c) The pressure is low [(1)], but still the lamp is
not lighted up [(2)]. The only possible reason is
that the temperature is also low.
Thus we get the answer (the answer is yes)
from (1) and (2). Hence (C)
93. (d) We note that Asha failed in English. But this
does not necessarily mean that Kanchana
passed in English. (What is given in the intro-

subjects Kanchana passed in three subjects.
But the subjects in which Kanchana passed
need not be the same as the subjects in which
Asha failed.
Hence a definite answer cannot be given.
