Solution: This type of question was repeated 3 times but for different case.
For this type of Questions, follow this:
At least- Ist half are true, Last half are false
Exactly- Last second one is true or (N-1)th Statement is true
Almost- All are true.
So correct answer is (C)

 For school children a software was designed.\In that \software one monkey has to
choose  balloons. If a monkey chooses 2  at a time and continues picking then  1 baloon
is left. If it picks 5 at a time then the remaining is zero,if it picks 6 at a time then
remaining is 3. What is the total number of balloons?

a) 72 b) 75 c) 79) d) 80

Ans: 75 ( Just devide the choosing patten in the number and check whether you are
getting the remainder as the remaining value). If it chooses 6 at a time and continues
then 75-(12*6)=3 which satisfies the condition

There are 9 weights like 16,19.156.26, 106,15,24,36 (in kg). There are three persons
like rohit, sameer and imran. each lifts 3 types of weights. Rohit”s  total lifted  weight is
2 times than the weight lifted by  rohit. What is the weight lifted by imran?

Ans: Total weight=16+19+156+26+106+15+24+36=398 kg

Suppose option is y kg lifted by imran(choose from option)  then  3x+y=398
=>x=(398-y)/3  here x should be a whole number then y is  the weight lifted by imran.

There is a square. 5 circles are kept on the diagonal of the square such
that the two extreme circles touch the two sides of the square.each circle
has equal radius.find the ratio of side of hte squae to that of the radius.
 
ans: diagonal=(root 2)*a , a= side of the square.
The additon of diameters of all the circles is equal to (root2)*a
2*7*r=(root2)*a
 
But the two extreme circles wiil not touch at the corners so we have to
find those distances.
x=distanse at on corner=r*((root2)-1) 
but toal distance=2*x due to 2nd corner
 
hence tatladistance=2*x+2*7*r
  or 2*x+2*7*r=(root2)*a
now you can find the ratio easily.
I think that this is oneof  the most conceptual question in the paper.

 Subha Patel is an olfactory scientist working for International Flavors and Fragrances.
She specializes in finding new scents recorded and reconstituted from nature thanks to
Living Flower Technology. She has extracted fragrance ingredients from different
flowering plants into bottles labeled herbal, sweet, honey, anisic and rose. She has
learned that a formula for a perfume is acceptable if and only if it does not violate any of
the rules listed: If the perfume contains herbal, it must also contain honey and there
must be twice as much honey as herbal. If the perfume contains sweet, it must also
contain anisic, and the amount of anisic must equal the amount of sweet. honey cannot
be used in combination with anisic. anisic cannot be used in combination with rose. If the
perfume contains rose, the amount of rose must be greater than the total amount of the
other essence or essences used. Which of  the following could be added to an
unacceptable perfume consisting of two parts honey and one part rose to make it
acceptable?

Ans: Two parts rose

which runs Northeast 61 degrees. If high ways M and N are straight then findout the
acute angle made at their intersection point.

Ans: 180-(61+61)=58 (the high ways make a triangle the addition of 3 angles of a
triangle is 180)

) Paul the octopus who has been forecasting the outcome of FIFA world cup matches
with tremendous accuracy has now been invited to predict ICC world cup matches in
2011. We will assume that the world cup contenders have been divided into 2 groups of
9 teams each. Each team in a group plays the other teams in the group. The top two
teams from each group enter the semi finals (after which the winner is decided by
knockout).
 
However, Paul has a soft spot for India and when India plays any team, Paul always
backs India. Alas, his predictions on matches involving India are right only 2 out of 3
times. In order to qualify for the semi finals, it is sufficient for India to win 7 of its group
matches. What is the probability that India will win the ICC world cup?
 a)      (2/3)^10     b)      (2/3)^9 + 8/3 * (2/3)^9    c)      8/3 * (2/3)^9       d)     (2/3)^10 +
8/3*(2/3)^9
