Question 5: Aman was born two years after his father’s marriage. His mother is 5 years
younger than his father, but 18 years older than Aman who is 8 years old. At what age does
his father get married?
A. 0 years
B. 21 years
C. 23 years
D. 22 years
Solution:
Let father’s age be x
Father age when Aman is born: x + 2
Mothers Age = x - 5
When Aman is born Mother’s age: x - 5 + 2 = x- 3
At present Mother is 18 year older than Aman who is 8 years old, which makes mother’s present
age = 28
Which means when aman was born his mother’s age is 18 which is also equals to x - 3
So
x- 3 = 18
X = 18 + 3
X = 21
Hence his fathers age was 21 when he got married.

Question 20: If ‘+’ means ‘x’, ‘-’ means ‘/’ & ‘x’ means ‘+’ and ‘/’ means ‘-’ , then which of the
following equations would be correct ?
A. 21 - 7 / 4 x 11 / 7 = 17
B. 21 / 7 x 4 + 11 - 7 = 10
C. 21 x 7 + 4 / 11 - 7 = 15
D. 21 - 7 + 4 x 11 / 7 = 16
Solution: Option D
Solving this option wise.

Taking option a into consideration
21 - 7/ 4 x 11/ 7 = 17
(after changing the signs ATQ)
21/ 7 - 4 + 11 - 7 = 17
=> 3 - 4 + 11 - 7 = 17
=> 10 - 7 = 17
=> 3 ≠ 17
So, option A is not correct.
.
Taking option b into consideration
21/ 7 x 4 + 11 - 7 = 10
21 - 7 + 4 x 11/ 7 = 10
=> (21 - 7 + 4 x 11) / 7 = 10
=> 198/ 7 = 10
=> 28 ≠ 10
So, option B is not correct.
Taking option c into consideration

21 x 7 + 4/ 11 - 7 = 15
21 + 7 x 4 - 11/ 7 = 15
=> (21 + 7 x 4 - 11)/ 7 = 15
=> 101/ 7 = 17
=> 14.42 ≠ 15
So, option C is not correct.
Taking option d into consideration

21 - 7 + 4 x 11/ 7 = 16
21/ 7 x 4 + 11 - 7 = 16
=> 3 x 4 + 11 - 7 = 16
=> 23 - 7 = 16
=> 16 = 17
So, option D is correct.
Question: What will ‘TELEGRAM’ be coded as?

Statement I: In the same code language ‘WHATSAPP’ is coded as ‘7’

SECTION III : VERBAL ABILITY
Question 1:- The sentence below has been divided into three parts. Select the part of the
sentence that has an error. If the sentence has no error, select the option “No Error”.
Oak, in general, is one of the strongest of the common hardwoods of the temperate northern
hemispheres.
a. of the common hardwoods of the
b. Oak, in general is one of the strongest
c. No error
d. temperate northern hemispheres.
Answer - A
Of the common hardwoods.
While writing a superlative degree adjective in a sentence, it is directly followed by a direct object.
Here, the sentence has used an extra preposition/ article (of the) which can be eliminated.
One of the strongest common hardwoods of the northern hemisphere can be a correct sentence.
The best advice is to try to be sure at all times within reason that you know where your son is and
who he is with.
a. No error
b. The best advice is to try to be sure at
c. all times within reason that you know
d. where your son is and who he is with.
Answer - The best advice is to try to be sure at
Since the sentence says that the advice is ‘the best’ it means that it is an imperative sentence. An
imperative sentence always talks about a stated action and not a suggestion.
This implies that the term (to try) is incorrect as it shows trial and error method. Instead it should
be (the best advice is to be sure at all times).
Question 3:- Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate choice
History paintings have to be grand and _________________ with subjects drawn from the Bible,
classical mythology and history.
a. Exigent
b. Didactic
c. Germane
d. Facetious
Answer - Didactic
Exigents means pressing; demanding.

Didactic means designed or intended to teach or intended to convey instruction and information as
well as pleasure and entertainment didactic poetry.
Germane means relevant to a subject under consideration.
Facetious means trying to be amusing about a subject at a time that is not appropriate so that
other people become annoyed
Here, the word didactic is suitable since it says that the paintings must not just be grand but also
thoughtful and should provide teachings to the people. Since the excerpt of Bible, mythology and
history is mentioned, it means that moral observations from these books must also be preached
through these paintings.
Question 4:- Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate choice.
By telling lies he brought _______ upon Parliament.

a. Diffuse
b. Dictum
c. Discredit
d. Deference
Dictum means a short statement that expresses something that people believe is always true or
should be followed
Discredit means to make people stop respecting or believing somebody/something
Diffuse means to spread something or become spread widely in all directions
Deference means polite behavior that you show towards somebody/something
Since the sentence mentions that the responsible person has resorted to lies and has negatively
impacted the parliament. This means that the parliament had to face disrespect and discredit
because of the lies and dishonesty.
The ham was __________, the scrambled eggs congealed, and the fruit juice fermented.
a. Disabused
b. Diffident
c. Delineated
d. Desiccated
Answer - Desiccated
Disabused means to free from error, misconception, or fallacy

Diffident means not having confidence in your own strengths or abilities
Delineated means to describe or draw something in great detail
Desiccated means used about food dried in order to keep it for a long time
Since the context here is in relation with food and advance preparation of a dish which includes,
solidifying the scrambled eggs, fermenting the fruit juice and drying the ham. So desiccated is the
word that is used in relation with food.
We are, in fact, one of the longest continuously operating national legislature in the world.
a. We are, in fact one of the
b. longest continuously operating
c. national legislature in the world.
d. No error
Answer - national legislature in the world.
The error lies in the part which says ‘national legislature in the world.’ Since the sentence
considers one of all the legislatures that are operated in the world, the object of the sentence
(legislatures) must be in plural form. That, one legislature out of all legislatures.
Question 7:- Select the word segment that substitutes (replaces) the bracketed word segment
correctly and completes the sentence. Select the option “no correction required” if the sentence is
correct as given.
He hasn’t (left the house from last Friday, I think) there is something wrong with him.
a. Left the house since last friday i think

b. Left house since last Friday, I think
c. Left the house from the last Friday, I think
d. No correction required
Answer - A
The difference between since and from is:
The word since is used to present the starting time of an action ( a point in the past) that continues
in the present till this date while From is used to present a period of time with a starting and an
ending point.
Since the speaker says that he (the subject) hasn’t left the house since Friday, meaning that the
person has still not left in the present time.
Since the house is a particular house where the person resides, it is going to take ‘the’.
At least 15 million Americans still hold the ______ view that cancer is contagious.
a. Exigent
b. Extraneous
c. Erroneous
d. Exacting

Exigent means needing urgent attention, or demanding too much from other people:
Extraneous means irrelevant or unrelated to the subject being dealt with.
Erroneous means not correct; based on wrong information
Exacting means needing a lot of care and attention; difficult
The context of the sentence here is that the view that cancer is contagious is a farce. This view is
incorrect. Hence we use ‘erroneous’ that states wrong view or incorrect perception.
Question 9:-
A passage is given with 5 questions following it. Read the passage carefully and choose the best
answer to each question out of the four alternatives.
Since Dolphins are like human beings in so many ways. For example, dolphins have a special
respiratory system just like humans. The only difference is that dolphins are able to stay
underwater for a long time without breathing oxygen. But how do dolphins manage to sleep
without drowning?
Generally, dolphins sleep with only one brain hemisphere in slow-wave sleep at a time, thus
maintaining enough consciousness to breathe and to watch for possible predators and other
threats. Earlier sleep stages can occur simultaneously in both hemispheres. In captivity, dolphins
seemingly enter a fully asleep state where both eyes are closed and there is no response to mild
external stimuli. In this case, respiration is automatic; a tail kick reflex keeps the blowhole above
the water if necessary. Anesthetized dolphins initially show a tail kick reflex. Though a similar state
has been observed with wild sperm whales, it is not known if dolphins in the wild reach this state.
The Indus river dolphin has a sleep method that is different from that of other dolphin species.
Living in water with strong currents and potentially dangerous floating debris, it must swim
continuously to avoid injury. As a result, this species sleeps in very short bursts which last
between 4 and 60 seconds.
What has been cited as the similarity among humans and dolphins?
a. Nervous system
b. Circulatory system
c. Respiratory System
d. Cardiovascular System
Answer - Respiratory system
The first paragraph of the passage cites the answer for us: “For example, dolphins have a special
respiratory system just like humans.”
Clinton’s _______ staffing decisions contributed to the political turmoil of his initial years.
a. Malleable
b. Meticulous

Answer -
Malleable means easily influenced or changed

Meticulous means giving or showing great attention to detail; very careful
Malign means causing harm or harmful
Maladroit means lacking skill, cleverness, or resourcefulness in handling situations or inept.
Here , the sentence concludes that Clinton made decisions while employing staff in his office and
this led to turmoil and conflicts inside the office. The word that suits here is maladroit.
Among the _______ effects caused by a saline atmosphere, may be mentioned, the ophthalmia of
Egypt.
a. Deleterious
b. Disparage
c. Disjointed
d. Desultory
Answer - Deleterious
Deleterious means causing harm or damage.

Disparage means to talk about somebody/something in a critical way; to say that
somebody/something is of little value or importance
Disjointed means clearly connected and therefore difficult to follow
Desultory means lacking a plan, purpose, or enthusiasm.
When it talks about the effects of a saline atmosphere, it probably reflects that the effects were
harmful and damaging. So we use deleterious.
There is a ________ between the academic world and the industrial world
a. Diurnal
b. Dichotomy
c. Dissolution
d. Dolf
Answer - Dichotomy
Diurnal means used about animals and birds active during the day
Dichotomy is defined as a sharp division of things or ideas into two contradictory parts.
Dissolution means the official act of ending a marriage, a business agreement or a parliament
Dolf means something noble or majestic
Since the sentence gives the context of difference between the two worlds - academics and
industrial, we use the word ‘dichotomy’ which expresses a stark difference between the two.
Question 13:-The sentence below has been divided into three parts. Select the part of the
Jack and me stood on the lawn and watched the grooming of the landscape.
a. Jack and me stood on the
b. No error
c. lawn and watched the
d. grooming of the landscape.
Answer - Jack and me
When a first person pronoun is used as the main subject of the sentence, the pronoun that is used
is ‘I’ and not ‘me’.
So it should, Jack and I since both the subjects stood together and watched the landscape.
Question 14:- Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate choice:-
Carver did not ________ the vast majority of his investors.
a. Patent
b. Placate
c. Plummet
d. Pursue
Answer - Placate
Patent means the official right to be the only person to make, use or sell a product or an invention;
Placate means to make somebody feel less angry about something
Pursue means to follow or chase, to continue with or to try to get someone or something.
Plummet means to fall suddenly and quickly from a high level or position
The sentence here provides the meaning that Carver’s investors were furious and he did not try to
convince them or calm their anger down.
That room ________ with pictures or curtains looks bare
a. Ubiquitous
b. Unadorned
c. Undermined
d. Untenable
Answer - unadorned
Ubiquitous means seeming to be everywhere or in several places at the same time; very common
Unadorned means undecorated or plain
Undermined means to make something weaker
Untenable means not able to be maintained or defended against attack or objection.
The sentence says that the room that is not decorated with pictures or curtains looks bare. Hence
adorned is the correct answer.
Further he does not ________ that the period of his disqualification is excessive.
a. Contend
b. Confound
c. Constrain
d. Coalesce
Answer - Contend
Contend means to say or argue that something is true

Confound means to prove somebody/something wrong
Constrain means to limit somebody/something; to force somebody/something to do something
Coalesce means to come together to form one larger group, substance, etc.
The sentence quotes that the person as the subject is not trying to argue with anyone even when
the terms of his disqualification are excessive and unjust.

a. His equity, Murphy must neither sell nor refinance
b. No correction required
c. His equity, Murphy must either sell nor refinance
d. His equity, Murphy must either sell or else refinance
Answer:- His equity, Murphy must either sell or else refinance

Here there are two options and Murphy has to select one of them to capture his equity. Here, the

one.
The conjunction, neither/nor is used when both options are not possible.

By 1980, Miami / beach had but all / totally eroded.

a. totally eroded.
b. By 1980, Miami
c. No error
d. beach had but all
Answer - beach had but all
The correct sentence is ‘had all but totally eroded.’
We use but as an alternative to except (for), apart from to introduce the only thing or person that
the main part of the sentence does not include.
Here the main thing that the sentence wants to say is that by 1980, Miami beach was completely
eroded and there was nothing left. So it had nothing and was totally eroded.
By burning tree branches, pine needles, / and pine cones, many not only warm / their houses
though also improve the smell therein.
a. and pine cones, many not only warm

b. No error
c. their houses though also improve the smell therein.
d. By burning tree branches, pine needles,
Answer:- their houses though also improve the smell therein.
In a sentence, which uses ‘not only’ as a conjunction, it is always followed by ‘but also’ as a
correlative conjunction.
Here the use of ‘though also’ is incorrect and should use ‘but also’ instead.
Question 21:-
Easter Day is the central religious feast in the Christian world. According to Christian scripture,
Jesus rose from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. Some Christians celebrate this
resurrection on Easter Day or Easter Sunday (also Resurrection Day or Resurrection Sunday).
Easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in relation to the civil calendar.
According to the traditions, Easter Sunday is celebrated by taking part in an Easter vigil, lighting a
new fire outside the church early on Sunday morning. Another custom involves lighting the
Paschal candle and decorating it with studs to celebrate Christ's wounds. Chanting of the easter
proclamation, reading the old testament, singing hymns and wishing happy Easter Day are other
characteristics of the celebration.
What does the term moveable feast mean?

a. Falls on the same date every year on a global calendar
b. Doesn’t fall on the same day every year on a global calendar
c. Doesn’t fall on the same date every year on a global calendar
d. Falls on the same day every year on a global calendar
Answer:- Doesn’t fall on the same date every year on a global calendar
Moveable feast is a religious festival that does not occur on the same date every year.
Here, the option “doesn’t fall on the same day every year on a global calendar” is wrong because
the festival in question is Easter Sunday which is always celebrated on a Sunday.

a. One of the smallest countries ever to host the world’s largest

b. No correction required
c. One of the smallest country to host the world’s largest
d. One of the smallest country to host the world’s largest
Answer:- One of the smallest countries ever to host the world’s largest
The term “one of the” specifies one noun among a group of nouns. In the above sentence, Greece
is one country among a group of many countries. Therefore, we use “one of the smallest
countries” and not “one of the smallest country”.
But there is / a criteria to / being God’s friend.

a. a criteria to
b. No error
c. But there is
d. being God’s friend.
Answer:- a criteria to
Since we are using indefintie article “a” we need to use singular term not plural. Therefore the
correct term would be criterion (singular of criteria).
By 6o’clock after a / busy day I’m at / the end of our rope.

a. busy day I’m at
b. By 6o’clock after a
c. No error
d. the end of our rope.
Answer:-
Since we are using the personal pronoun “I” which is used to address first person in singular, we
will use “my” to refer to the rope and not “our”. As “my” is also a first-person singular pronoun
while “our” is a first-person plural pronoun.
Jack and me stood on the / lawn and watched the / grooming of the landscape.
a. Jack and me stood on the
b. No error
c. lawn and watched the
d. grooming of the landscape.
Answer:-
Jack and me stood on the
We use the pronoun “me” when the speaker is on the receiving end of the action. Here, the
speaker is doing the action, i.e., standing on the lawn and watching the grooming of the
landscape. Therefore, we will use the pronoun “I”.
The correct form of the sentence will be, “Jack and I stood on the lawn and watched the grooming
of the landscape.”
