The fishermen,_____ the flood victims owed their lives, were rewarded by the
government
A Whom
B To which
C To whom
D That
Answer C
Solution The preposition 'to' connects the 'whom' (fishermen) to the flood victims. 'Whom'
works as the object of the preposition here. Hence, it is the correct answer.
'Which' refers to things or matters at hand rather than people. 'That' and 'whom' are
contextually incorrect here.

D 10
Answ C
er
Soluti Five numbers 10, 7, 5, 4 and 2 are to be arranged in a sequence from left to right.
on 1. No two odd or even numbers are next to each other
.As there are three even numbers in the sequence and no two even numbers can’t appear
next to each other, we need to arrange even numbers in first, third and fifth positions.
The odd numbers will get arrange in second and fourth position.
2. The second number from the left is exactly half of the left-most number.Left most
position is even number, and second number form left is odd number. So, the only
possibility to hold above condition is 10 and 5.
Sequence: 10 5 _ _ _
We need to fill the fourth position with an odd number. So, 7 will appear at fourth
position.
Sequence: 10 5 _ 7 _
3.The middle number is exactly twice the right most number
Now, the remaining numbers are 4 and 2
4 is exactly twice of 2
So, the right most number will be 2 and the middle number will be 4.
Sequence: 10 5 4 7 2
The second number from right is 7

5 Until Iran came along, India had never been in kabaddi.

A defeated
B defeating
C Defeat
D Defeatist
Answer A
Solution The given sentence is an example of the past perfect tense.
The past perfect tense is used to express an action that began in the past
and
completed before some point in the past.
Structure:Subject + had+ the third form of the verb.
Example: I reached the station after the train had left.
Therefore, the correct answer is 'defeated'

6 Since the last one year, after a 125 basis point reduction in repo rate by the Rese
rve Bankof India, banking institutions have been making a demand to reduce
interest rates on small saving schemes. Finally, the government announced
yesterday a reduction in interest rates on small saving schemes to bring them on
par with fixed deposit interest rates.

Which one of the following statements can be inferred from the given passage?
A Whenever the Reserve Bank of India reduces the repo rate, the interest rates on
smallsaving schemes are also reduced
B Interest rates on small saving schemes are always maintained on par with fixed de
positinterest rates
C The government sometimes takes into consideration the demands of bankinginstit
utions before reducing the interest rates on small saving schemes
D A reduction in interest rates on small saving schemes follow only after a reductio
n inrepo rate by the Reserve Bank of India
Answ C
er
Soluti Option 1 is incorrect as the statement says that the banking institutions had been
on demanding the reduction 'since the last one year' before it was fulfilled, implying that it is
not something that happens usually. Hence, it cannot be said that whenever the Reserve
Bank of India reduces the repo rate, the interest rates on small saving schemes are also
reduced.
Option 2 is incorrect. The phrase 'to bring them on par with fixed deposit interest rates' in
the statement implies that the interest rates on small saving schemes are not always
maintained on par with fixed deposit interest rates.
Option 4 is incorrect as there is no information provided in the statement to support this
inference.
Option 3 is the correct answer

7 In a country of 1400 million population, 70% own mobile phones. Among the
mobilephone owners, only 294 million access the Internet. Among these Internet
users, only half buy goods from e-commerce portals. What is the percentage of
these buyers in the country?
A 10.50
B 14.70
C 15.00
D 50.00
Answe A
r
Solutio Total population in a country = 1400 million
n Mobile users = 0.7 × 1400 = 980 million
Internet users = 294 million
Total population who buy goods from e-commerce portals = 294/2 = 147 million
Percentage of e-commerce buyers in the country= 147/1400* 100 = 10.5%

8 The nomenclature of Hindustani music has changed over the

centuries. Since the medieval period dhrupad styles were identified
as baanis. Terms like gayaki and baaj were used to refer to vocal
and instrumental styles, respectively. With the institutionalization of
 music education the term gharana became
acceptable. Gharana originally referred to hereditary musicians from
a particular lineage, including disciples and grand disciples
Which one of the following pairings is NOT correct?
A dhrupad, baani
B gayaki, vocal
C baaj, institution
D gharana, lineage
Answer C
Solution Dhrupad styles were identified as baanis. Therefore, Option A is correct
Gayaki and baaj were used to refer to vocal. Therefore, Option B is correct
Gharana originally referred to hereditary musicians from a particular
lineage. Therefore, Option D is correct.
So, only Option C is not correct.

9 Two trains started at 7AM from the same point. The first train
travelled north at a speed of 80km/h and the second train travelled
south at a speed of 100 km/h. The time at which
theywere 540 km apart is AM.
A 9
B 10
C 11
D 11.30
Answer B
Solution Two trains are started at 7 AM form the same point.

The first train travelled north at a speed of 80 km/h

The second train travelled south at a speed of 100 km/h

So, both the trains are travelled in the opposite direction.

The distance between the two trains after time ‘t’ is 540 km

The relative speed between two trains = 80 + 100 = 180 km/h

Now, time (t) = distance/speed = 540/180 = 3 h

So, they were 540 km apart at time = 7 AM + 3 hours = 10 AM

10 “I read somewhere that in ancient times the prestige of a kingdom depended upon
the number of taxes that it was able to levy on its people. It was very much like th
e prestige ofa head-hunter in his own community.”
Based on the paragraph above, the prestige of a head-hunter depended upon
A the prestige of the kingdom
B the prestige of the heads
C the number of taxes he could levy
D the number of heads he could gather
Answ D
er
Soluti A head-hunter functions by killing people for a price. The 'number of heads' here implies
on the number of people he/she has been paid to kill for.
In ancient times the prestige of a kingdom depended upon the number of taxes that it was
able to levy on its people in the same manner that the prestige of a head-hunter
depended on the number of heads he/she collected.
Here the comparison is made to bring out the inhuman nature of both the activities, head-
hunting and levying extreme taxes on the public

A. 1/𝑒
B. 2/𝑒2
C. (𝑒−1/2)/2
D. ∞
Sol. A
Function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥𝑒 −𝑥 (where 𝑥 is a real number)
𝑓 ′ (𝑥) = 𝑥𝑒 −𝑥 (−1) + 𝑒 −𝑥 ⋅ 1 = −𝑥𝑒 −𝑥 + 𝑒 −𝑥 = 0
So, 𝑥 = 1, ∞
f ′ (x) = −[−x𝑒 −𝑥 + 𝑒 −𝑥 ] + 𝑒 −𝑥 (−1) = x𝑒 −𝑥 − 𝑒 −𝑥 − 𝑒 −𝑥 = x𝑒 −𝑥 − 2 ⋅ 𝑒 −𝑥 𝑓 ′ (1) = −𝑒 −1 < 0
So, at 𝑥 = 1, the value of Function 𝑓(𝑥) is maximum.
𝑓(1) = 1 ⋅ 𝑒 −1 = 1/𝑒

2. Vector 𝑏⃗ is obtaining by rotating 𝑎 = 𝑖̂ + 𝑗̂ by 90° about 𝑘̂ , where 𝑖̂, 𝑗̂ and 𝑘̂ are unit vectors along

sin⁡ 𝜃 cos⁡ 𝜃 𝑦
If a vector 𝑎 = 𝑖ˆ + 𝑗ˆ is rotated by 90∘ then new vector 𝑏⃗ is,

𝑥′ cos⁡ 90 −sin⁡ 90 1 −1
𝑏⃗ = [ ′ ] = [ ][ ] = [ ]
𝑦 sin⁡ 90 cos⁡ 90 1 1
⃗𝑏 = −𝑖ˆ + 𝑗ˆ

3. A scalar function is given by (𝑥, 𝑦)=𝑥2 + 𝑦2. Take 𝑖̂̂ and 𝑗̂̂ as unit vectors along the x and y

Sol. C

f (𝑥, 𝑦) = 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2
∇𝑓 = 2𝑥𝑖ˆ + 2𝑦𝑗ˆ
At (𝑥, 𝑦) = (3,4)
∇𝑓 = 6𝑖ˆ + 8𝑗ˆ

So the direction along with 𝑓 is,

6𝑖̂ + 8𝑗ˆ 1
𝑛ˆ = = (3𝑖ˆ + 4𝑗ˆ)
√62 + 82 5

4. The dimensions of kinematic viscosity of a fluid (where L is length, T is time) are

A. LT−1

F = MLT −2
F = 𝜏𝐴
𝑑𝑢
𝜏=𝜇
𝑑𝑦

[ML𝑇 −2 ] ⋅ 𝐿−2 = 𝜇[L𝑇 −1 𝐿−1 ]]

Dynamic viscosity, 𝜇 = ML−1 𝑇 −1 ∣
𝜇
Kinematics viscosity, 𝜗 = (𝜌 = ML−3 )
𝜌
