Question Body: Good mind, good find. Good health is above wealth.

Option A: Health is wealth.

Option B: Wealth is everything in life.

Option C: Sound mind is in a sound body.

Option D: If health is lost everything is lost

positive actions and will find good ways to move on”.

2) “Good health is above wealth”, because if a person is healthy even if he/she has no wealth,
he/she can be happy. As he/she is healthy, he/she can be good at studies and work and earn
his/her daily bread. If you are wealthy and not healthy, then you can get whatever you want but
you can’t perform your tasks and enjoy the things around you.

Option A: Health is wealth – it can be drawn from the given sentences.

Option B: Wealth is everything in life – we can’t draw this sentence from the given sentences.

Option C: Sound mind is in a sound body – we can draw this from the given sentences.

Question Name: 13

Question Body: Which number can be placed at the sign of interrogation?

Option A: 12

Option B: 39

Option C: 18

Option D: 24

Correct Answer: (A)

Explanation:

In each row, the sum of first and second number is less than third number by 1.

Row 1: 27 22 50

Sum of first and second numbers: 27 + 22 = 49

Third number is 50.

49 is one less than 50.

Similarly, in row 2: 13 12 26

13 + 12 = 25

25 is one less than 26.

In third row: 9 2 ?
So, the missing number should be one more than sum of 9 and 2

9 + 2 = 11

Add 1 to 11 to find the missing number: 11 + 1 = 12

Hence, 12 is the required number.

In the second column: 9 + 7 = 5 +11 i.e. 16 = 16
In third column: 5 + 2 = 0 + x → x = 7

(III) The poor and the illiterate people can be easily purchased.

Question Name: 31.

Question Body: India is the largest democracy of the world. After independence, there have
been a great industrial development. The production of food grains also increased. On the
contrary the purchasing power of the common man has decreased and very small proportion of
the gains of industrial and agricultural development have reached him.

Option A: I and II

Option B: II and III

Option C: I and III

Option D: l, ll and III

Correct Answer: (B)

Explanation:

The purchasing capacity of a common man is decreased because businessmen and politicians
are misusing democracy and gaining huge profits. Poor people and uneducated people are
exchanging their votes with money or other things because they are unware of vote power. So,
corrupted politicians are winning easily in the elections by spending money. We can’t decide
that democracy is not suitable for India but implementing all rules and regulations will be difficult
because of huge population in the country.
