1. 9, 12, 11, 14, 13, , 15

Ans. 16
Explanation: Alternately, add 3 and subtract 1.
2. How many 4-letters words with or without meaning, can be formed out of the letters of the
word, LOGARITHMS, if repetition of letters is not allowed?
Ans. 5040
Explanation: The word contains 10 different words.
Now, We have to do permutation of 10 words, taking 4 at a time.
Therefore, 10P4=10 x 9 x 8 x 7 = 5040
3. How many number 4 digit number can be formed using the digits 2,3,4,5,7,8 if repetition of digit is
not allowed?
Ans. 360
Explanation: No. of digit given - 6
Now, We have to do permutation of 6 digits , taking 4 at a time
Therefore, 6P4=6 x 5 x 4 x 3 = 360
Info: Try to solve this type permutation question form any book.
4. A box contains 4 red balls, 5 green balls and 6 white balls. A ball is drawn at random from the box.
What is the probability that the ball drawn is either red or green ?
Ans. 3/5

Explanation: Total no. of ball =15

Probability of drawing a red ball = 4/15
Probability of drawing a green ball =5/15
Therefore, that the ball drawn is either red or green = (4/15 +5/15) = 9/15=3/5.
5. How many 3-digit numbers can be formed from the digits 2, 3, 5, 6,7 and 9 , which are divisible by
5 and none of the digits is repeated ?
Ans. 20
Explanation: The numbers end with 0 and 5 are only divisible by 5. We have no zero in the digit list
through which we have to make the numbers. Therefore only 5 will be in unit place. This can be
done in 1 ways.
Tens place can be filled with any of the remaining 5 digits.
The hundreds can be filled with any of the remaining 4 digits.
Therefore, the no. of numbers can be formed is = 5 x 4 x 1 = 20
6. It was calculated that 75 men could complete a piece of work in 20 days. When work was
scheduled to commence, it was found necessary to send 25 men to another project. How much
longer will it take to complete the work?
Ans. 30
Explanation: Before: One day work = 1 / 20
One mans one day work = 1 / ( 20 * 75)
After, 25 men are send to another project.
No. of workers = 50
One day work = 50 * 1 / ( 20 * 75)
The total no. of days required to complete the work = (75 * 20) / 50 = 30

7. A boat takes 19 hrs for traveling downstream from point A to point B and coming back to a point C
midway between A and B. If the velocity of the stream is 4 kmph. and the speed of the boat in still
water is 14 kmph. What is the distance between A and B?
Ans. 180
Explanation: Speed downstream =14+4 =18 kmph
Speed upstream = 14 -4 = 10 kmph
Let the distance between A and B be x km. then,
x/18 + (x/2)/10 = 19
x/18 + x/20 = 19
19x/180 =19 =>x = 180km.
Hence, the distance between A and B by 180 km
8. If an article is sold at 5% gain instead of 5% loss,the seller gets Rs 6.72 more. The C.P of the
article is?
Ans. 67.21
Explanation: Let C.P be Rs x

105% of x-95% of x=6.72

(105/100)*x-(95/100)*x=6.72
x/10=6.72
x=Rs 67.21.

and none of the digits is repeated?
Ans. 20
Explanation: Since each desired number is divisible by 5, so we much have 5 at the unit place.
Now tens place can be filled by any of the remaining 5 digits
The hundreds place can now be filled by any of the remaining 4 digits .
Required number of numbers = (1 * 5 * 4) = 20

2. How many arrangements can be made out of the letters of the word 'MATHEMATICS' be
arranged so that the vowels always come together ?
Ans. 120960
Explanation: In the word 'MATHEMATICS' we treat vowel AEAI as one letter thus we have
MTHMTCS(AEAI)
now we have to arrange 8 letters out of which M occurs twice ,T occurs twice & the rest are different
Number of ways of arranging these letters = 8! / (2!)(2!) = 10080
Now AEAI has 4 letters in which A occurs 2 times and the rest are different
Number of ways of arranging these letters = 4! / 2! = 12
Required number of words = (10080 * 12) = 120960
3. The sum of the ages of the 5 children's born at the intervals of 3 years each is 50 years what is
the age of the youngest child ?
Ans. 4 years
Explanation: Let the age of the children's be
x ,x+3, x+6, x+9, x+12.
x+(x+3)+(x+6)+(x+9)+(x+12) = 50
5x+30 = 50
5x = 20
x=4.
Age of the youngest child is x = 4 years.

4. A bag contains 6 white and 4 black balls .Two balls are drawn at random .Find the probability that
they are of the same color?
Ans. 7/45
Explanation: Let S be the sample space.
Number of ways for drawing two balls out of 6 white and
4 red balls = 10C2
=10!/(8!*2!) = 45.
n(S) =45.
Let E =event of getting both balls of the same color.
Then n(E) = number of ways of drawing ( 2balls out of 6) or
(2 balls out of 4).
= 6C2 +4C2
= 6!/(4!*2!) + 4!/(2! *2!)

= 6*5/2 +4 *3/2
=15+6 =21.
P(E) =n(E)/n(S) =21/45 =7/45.

5. In how many a committee of 5 members can be selected from 6 men 5 ladies consisting of 3 men

The questions relate to the words or phrases bold in the following passage. However, the entire
passage may have to be read before attempting the questions.
An old spectre is haunting Delhi. Abandoned elsewhere in the world by a merciless history, it has

taken refuge in a place where there is no Pope or Czar to overcome. Communism, the unravelled lie of
the last century, may have lost its original homelands in Russia and Eastern Europe. Doesn't matter,
there are always theorists in thrall who can argue with such dialectical conviction about the
inevitabilities of scientific error in practice. So, there is always a socialist afterlife beyond the detritus
of the Soviet empire and the fallen vassal states.
There are also revolutionaries like Prakash Karat armed with the book to guard against the possibility
of Marx being exiled to the souvenir shop. Thank God, the revolution of Karat is bound by the
armchair. The world as he sees it is a world hostile to the revolutionary ideal, and where counterrevolutionary viruses are on the offensive. He has identified them, and his diktats against them are
the most decisive commandments in Indian politics today.
Q 1. 'Thrall' in the context of the passage means
A. Slave
B. Attendance
C. Abundance
D. Support

Q 2. Pick the pair of words which have the same meaning:

1. SCEPTRE 2. DIKTAT 3. GHOST 4. ORDER 5. REFUGE 6. DISORDER
A. 1,3
B. 4,6
C. 2,4
D. 1,5

Q 3. The general tenor of the passage is

A. Critical of the stand taken by Prakash Karat
B. One of sarcasm against Prakash Karat
C. Appreciative of the stand taken by Prakash Karat
D. Supportive of the stand taken by Prakash Karat

Read the passage given below and answer the following Questions:

Bamboo is a woody plant of the grass family. There are about 1,000 species of bamboos. They grow
throughout the tropical and semitropical regions of the world, especially in southern Asia, at altitudes
ranging from sea level to 13,000 feet (4,000 m). The pygmy bamboo of Japan is about the size of field
grass, while in China, India, and the northern Andes Mountains of South America there are bamboos
12 inches (30 cm) in diameter and 120 feet (37 m) tall. The Culm, or stem, of most species of
bamboo, like that of most grasses, is hollow and jointed. The culms grow rapidly, reaching their full
height in two months or less. They do not grow thicker; the new shoots (sprouts) have their full
diameter when they emerge. Delicate leaves growing from the upper nodes (joints) give the top of the
Culm a feathery look. Bamboo grows in dense groves, new culms being produced by rhizomes
(underground stems).Many species of bamboo flower only at long intervals"30, 60, or 120 years.
When flowering occurs, all plants of that species, all over the world, flower at about the same time.
Then the culms die. The grove, however, does not die, because some rhizomes survive to send up new
shoots and some seeds take root. But it takes about five years for a grove to become fully
reestablished, and the culms are not suitable for harvesting until they are three to five years old.
In some parts of Asia entire houses are made of bamboo. Bamboo poles form the framework and
bamboo splints are woven into latticework for walls and partitions. Split bamboo is used for floors, and
roofs are made of bamboo leaves laid on bamboo poles. Sections of Culm with a node at one end,
depending on their size, serve as cups, bottles, jars, and other containers. Bamboo shoots are used in
many Oriental (especially Chinese) dishes, and bamboo seeds can be roasted and eaten. Knives are
made from the outer wall of the Culm, and paper from the inner wall. Many products are made of
bamboo for export or tourist trade in Asian countries. Masts of boats are made from culms, and culms
with the nodes bored out are used as water pipes. Bows and arrows are also made from bamboo.
Large amounts of bamboo are imported into Western countries to make curtains, umbrella handles,
walking sticks, fishing poles, baskets, chairs, cages, and wicker work. Cellulose extracted from
bamboo is used in the manufacture of rayon and other man-made textiles. Carbonized bamboos
served as the filament in early electric light bulbs. Bamboos are members of the family Gramineae.
There are more than 50 genera. Only two species are native to the United States. Arundinaria
gigantean is the giant cane of the canebrakes of the South. It grows as far north as Virginia and as far

Capgemini second reading comprehension passage
Read the passage given below and answer the following Questions:
Bamboo is a woody plant of the grass family. There are about 1,000 species of bamboos.
They grow throughout the tropical and semitropical regions of the world, especially in
southern Asia, at altitudes ranging from sea level to 13,000 feet (4,000 m). The pygmy
bamboo of Japan is about the size of field grass, while in China, India, and the northern

Andes Mountains of South America there are bamboos 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter and
120 feet (37 m) tall. The Culm, or stem, of most species of bamboo, like that of most
grasses, is hollow and jointed. The culms grow rapidly, reaching their full height in two
months or less. They do not grow thicker; the new shoots (sprouts) have their full diameter
when they emerge. Delicate leaves growing from the upper nodes (joints) give the top of
the Culm a feathery look. Bamboo grows in dense groves, new culms being produced by
rhizomes (underground stems).Many species of bamboo flower only at long intervals"30, 60,
or 120 years. When flowering occurs, all plants of that species, all over the world, flower at
about the same time. Then the culms die. The grove, however, does not die, because some
rhizomes survive to send up new shoots and some seeds take root. But it takes about five
years for a grove to become fully reestablished, and the culms are not suitable for
harvesting until they are three to five years old.
In some parts of Asia entire houses are made of bamboo. Bamboo poles form the
framework and bamboo splints are woven into latticework for walls and partitions. Split
bamboo is used for floors, and roofs are made of bamboo leaves laid on bamboo poles.
Sections of Culm with a node at one end, depending on their size, serve as cups, bottles,
jars, and other containers. Bamboo shoots are used in many Oriental (especially Chinese)
dishes, and bamboo seeds can be roasted and eaten. Knives are made from the outer wall
of the Culm, and paper from the inner wall. Many products are made of bamboo for export
or tourist trade in Asian countries. Masts of boats are made from culms, and culms with the
nodes bored out are used as water pipes. Bows and arrows are also made from bamboo.
Large amounts of bamboo are imported into Western countries to make curtains, umbrella
handles, walking sticks, fishing poles, baskets, chairs, cages, and wicker work. Cellulose
extracted from bamboo is used in the manufacture of rayon and other man-made textiles.
Carbonized bamboos served as the filament in early electric light bulbs. Bamboos are
members of the family Gramineae. There are more than 50 genera. Only two species are
native to the United States. Arundinaria gigantean is the giant cane of the canebrakes of the
South. It grows as far north as Virginia and as far west as Louisiana. It reaches 25 feet (7.6
m) in height. The switch cane, A. tecta, grows to 12 feet (3.7 m), and may be found from
Maryland and Indiana to Texas. Bamboos that grow as tall as 100 feet (30 m) include
Bambusa arundinaceous of India (which now also grows in Florida) and Dendrocalamus
giganteus of Burma.
