2) If D = 4 and COVER = 63, then BASIS =?
Answer: 50(1Mark)
Explanation: In the given code, A = 1. B = 2, C = 3.... so that
COVER = 3 + 15 + 22 + 5 + 18 = 63.
Now, in BASIS, B = 2, A = 1, S = 19, I = 9.
Thus, BASIS = 2 + 1 + 19 + 9 + 19 = 50. (1Mark)

2 A 6 CO2
One day, Ravi left home and cycled 10 km southwards,
turned right and cycled 5 km and turned right and cycled 10
km and turned left and cycled 10 km. How many kilometers
will he have to cycle to reach his home straight?
Diagram: (2 Marks)
Explanation: Ravi starts from home at A, moves 10 km
southwards upto B, turns right and moves 5 km upto C, turns
right again and moves 10 km upto D and finally turns left
and moves 10 km upto E. (2 Marks)
Calculation: Thus, his distance from initial position A to E,
AE = AD + DE = BC + DE = (5 + 10) km = 15 km. (2

 C 6 CO2
Each question given below has a problem and two statements
numbered I and II giving certain information. You have to decide if
the information given in the statements is sufficient for answering the
problem.
1) What is Reena's rank in the class?
I. There are 26 students in the class.
II. There are 9 students who have scored less than Reena.

Explanation: From statement 1 we get to know that there are

26 students in the class.
From statement two we get to know that 9 students have
scored less than Reena.
So excluding those 9 students 17 students are left.
16 Out of these 17 are above Reena.
Hence Reena’s rank is 17.
Hence both statement I & II together are sufficient to answer
the question.

2) Out of six lectures of one hour each — A, B, C, D, E and F

scheduled between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., which one will be third?
I. Lecture F is preceded by A and is followed by C.
II. There is only one lecture before A and there is no lecture
after B.

Explanation: From I, we get the sequence as A, F, C.

Also, it is given in II that there is only one lecture before A.
Clearly, F is the third lecture.
Thus, both I and II are required to answer the given question.

3 A Following questions consists of a statement followed by two 6 CO3

arguments I and II. Give answer if only argument I is strong or if only
argument II is strong or if either I or II is strong or if neither I nor II is
strong or if both I and II are strong.
1) Statement: Should government stop spending huge amounts of
money on international sports?
Arguments: I. Yes. This money can be utilised for upliftment
of the poor.
II. No. Sportspersons will be frustrated and will not get
international exposure.
Explanation: Spending money on sports cannot be avoided
merely because it can be spent on socio-economic problems.
So, argument I does not hold.
Also if the expenses on sports are curtailed, the sportspersons
would face lack of facilities and training and our country will
lag behind in international sports competitions.
Hence, only argument II is strong.
2) Statement: Should English be the medium of instruction for
higher education in India?
Arguments: I. Yes. Even in advanced countries like England
and U.S.A., the medium of instruction is English for higher
education.
II. Yes. English is a much widely spoken language in the
world.
Explanation: The pursuance of a policy in India cannot be
based on the pretext that it is followed in other advanced
 countries because every country has its own environment,
situations and resources. So, argument I is vague. Clearly,
English needs to be pursued in higher education because being
widely spoken it shall ensure uniformity and prepare the
students better. So, argument II holds.
B In each question below is given a statement followed by two 6 CO3

assumptions numbered I and II. Consider the statement and decide

which of the given assumptions is implicit.

1) Statement: "If you want to give any advertisement, give it in the

newspaper X. " — A tell s B.

Assumptions: I. B want s t o publicise his products.

II. Newspaper X has a wide circulation.

Explanation: The word If in the statement shows that B may or

may not want to publicise his products. So, I is not implicit. It is
advised that advertisements be given in newspaper X. This means
that X will help advertise better i.e., it has wide circulation. So, II
is implicit.

2)Statement: We must settle all the payment due to our

suppliers within three working days.
Assumptions: I. We will always have necessary funds in
our account to settle the bills.
II. We are capable of verifying and clearing the bills in less
than three working days.
Explanation: Since the statement talks of making all
payment s within three days, it is evident that the company
has the necessary funds and the bills can be verified and
cleared within the stipulated time. So, both I and II are
implicit.
C 6 CO3
In each of the following questions, a statement is given followed
by two conclusions I and II. Give answer if only conclusion I
follows, if only conclusion II follows, if either I or II follows, if
neither I nor II follows or if both I and II follow.
 1) Statement: The distance of 900 k m by road between
Bombay and Jafra will be reduced to 280 km by sea. This
will lead to a saving of Rs 7.92 crores per annum on fuel.
Conclusions: I. Transportation by sea is cheaper than that
by road.
II. Fuel must be saved to the greatest extent.
Explanation: According to the statement, sea transport is
cheaper than road transport in the case of route from
Bombay to Jafra , not in all the cases. So, conclusion I does
not follow. Th e statement stresses on the saving of fuel.
So, conclusion II follows.
2) Statement: The manager humiliated Sachin in the presence
of his colleagues.
Conclusions: I. Th e manager did not like Sachin.
II. Sachin was not popular with his colleagues.
Explanation: None of the given conclusions is either
mentioned in or can be drawn from the facts given in the
statement.

 C A solid cube of each side 8 cm, has been painted red, blue and black on 6 CO4
pairs of opposite faces. It is then cut into cubical blocks of each side 2
cm.
A solid cube of each side 8 cm is cut into cubical blocks of each side 2
cm.
Hence n = 8/2 = 4
1) How many cubes have no face painted?
Formula: Cubes with no faces coloured =(n-2) ^3 (1 Mark)
Calculation & Answer – 1 Mark
2) How many cubes have only one face painted?
Formula: Cubes with one faces coloured = 6(n-2) ^2 (1 Mark)
Calculation & Answer: 1 Mark
3) How many cubes have only two faces painted?
Formula: Cubes with two faces coloured = 12 * (n-2) (1 Mark)
Calculation & Answer: 1 Mark

5 A. 1) What is the angle between the hands of a clock at 3.24 A.M? 6 CO5

Answer: 1 Mark
2) If 1st Jan 1930 was Sunday, find the day on 31st March 1970.
Explanation: From 1’st Jan 1930 to 1’st Jan 1970 we are moving
40 years ahead.
Hence to calculate the day we will move 40 days ahead.
Also between 1930 & 1970 there are 10 leap years.
Hence we will move extra 10 days ahead.
Hence we will move 40 + 10 = 50 days ahead.
From 1’st Jan 1930 to 31’st March 1970 we are moving 89 days
ahead.
Hence we will move 50 + 89 = 139 days ahead.
139/7 gives remainder 6.
Hence effectively we will move only 6 days ahead.( 2 Marks)
6 days ahead of Sunday is Saturday.
Answer: Hence 31’st March 1970 is a Saturday.
B Rs. 3,960 is divided among A, B and C such that half of A's part, 6 CO5
one third of B's part and one sixth of C's part are equal. Then B's
part is
Explanation: Let A/2 = B/3 = C/6 = K = 1 (1 Mark)
Hence A = 2
B=3
C = 6 (1Mark)
Hence ratio of A:B:C = 2:3:6 (1 Mark)
Together they are receiving 2 + 3 + 6 = 11 parts (1Mark)
11 parts = 3960
Hence 1 part = 360 (1 Mark)
 Answer: Hence B’ part = 360 * 3 = 1080 ( 1 Mark)
C 6 CO5
8 litres are drawn from a cask full of wine and is then filled
with water. The operation is performed three more times. The
ratio of the quantity of wine now left in the cask to that of
water is 16:65. How much wine did the cask hold originally?

Explanation: Let the original amount of wine be X litres. (1

Mark)

After performing the operation four times ratio of wine & water
= 16:65

Hence ratio of wine & total solution = 16: (16+65) = 16:81

(1Mark)

By the formula (X – 8) ^4 / X^4 = 16/81(1 Mark)

Calculation: Taking fourth root (X-8) / X = 2/3 (1Mark)

3X – 24 = 2X

X = 24 (1 Mark)

Answer: Hence Originally the cask held 24 litres of wine.
