Direction (6-10): Relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. Find if the conclusions also follow or not.
Statements: K =P ≥ M = S ≥ L; V ≤ W = L; M > X
I. K > X
II. P ≥ W
only I follows
only II follows
either I or II follows
neither I nor II follow
both I and II follow
K = P ≥ M > X, so K > X
P ≥ M = S ≥ L = W, so P ≥ W
Statements: A = Q ≥ D = S > T; V ≤ G > T
I. A > G
II. G ≥ A
A = Q ≥ D = S > T so A > T. Now T < G, so A > T < G This gives no relation between A and G, so A will be greater than G or it will be less than equal to G.
Statements: P = T ≥ N < S > W; W ≤ X > L; P < R = M Conclusions: I. S > L
II. N ≤ M
S > W ≤ X > L, so no relation between S and L
N ≤ T = P < R = M, so N < M
Statements: A > L ≥ N = I; T < L ≤ M; G = M ≤ P Conclusions: I. N ≤ P II. N > P
N ≤ L ≤ M ≤ P, so N ≤ P is definitely true, so N > P false
Question 10 of 160
Statements: Q > S ≤ B = M; A ≤ S > N; L < G = A Conclusions: I. Q < A II. G ≤ M
Q > S ≥ A, so Q > A

19 × 8 + 12% of 550 = 14 × 18 – √x
1 3/5 + 2 2/7 + 2 4/7 = ?
Directions (51-54): Each of the questions below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question:
What is the present estimated population of city ABC?
I. After a year, estimation says that the population will become 20% more than the present population.
II. The population will become 5.2 lakhs in next 2 years.
If the data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
If the data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
If the data either in statement I alone or statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
If the data given in both I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
If the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
If we were given the population after a year, then from I the answer could be find.
What is the rate percent per annum?
I. Simple interest was calculated after a year on a sum of Rs 50,000.
II. The compound interest of first and second year respectively is Rs 4000 and Rs 4800.
If the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the questi
From II: CI after 1 yr is 4000 and after 2 yrs is 4800 which gives difference = 4800-4000= 800
so (r/100)*4000 = 800
What is the perimeter of rectangle?
I. The area of rectangle whose sides are in the ratio 11 : 14 is 10 more than the area of square of side 12 m
II. If the length of rectangle is 14m, then the area of rectangle is same as the area of circle of diameter 14 m.
From I: area of square = 12*12 = 144, area of rect = 10+144 = 154 so 11x*14x = 154, x= 1
So sides of rect are 11 and 14 so peri. can be find
From II: Area of cirle = (22/7)*7*7 = 154, 14*x = 154, So sides of rect are 11 and 14 so peri. can be find
In how many days, A and B together can complete the piece of work?
I. There was a strict instruction that total work was to be completed in 16 days only.
II. B worked for 7 days. A can complete 4/5th of the work in 10 days.
From II: we get the days in which A can alone complete the work
From both the answer could be determined if it was given that for how many days did A work
Since we don't know that A worked for how many days, question cant be answered.
Or if it was given that in how many days B can complete the work, then also question could be answered
Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 20 hrs and 30 hrs respectively. Both pipes A and B and a third pipe C all are opened and the tank gets filled in 60 hours. What is the work done alone by pipe C?
empty in 12 hrs
fill in 12 hrs
Since the tank is getting filled in more than 20 and 30 hrs, this means that C is emptying pipe
Let C alone empties in x hrs, then
(1/20 + 1/30 – 1/x) = 1/60
1/x = 1/15
So C empties in 15 hrs
A and B started a business with Rs 5,000 and Rs 6,000 respectively. After 9 months C also joined with Rs 12000. At the same time A and B withdrew Rs 1,000 each. If at the end of year B and C together received Rs 12,250 as their share from the total profit, then what is the total profit?
5000*9 + 4000*3 : 6000*9 + 5000*3 : 12000*3
So [(23+12)/54]*x = 12,250
Solve, x = 18,900
8 men can complete a work in 5 days. 12 women can complete in 10 days and 10 children in 24 days. 1 man, 1 woman and 1 child started the work. In how many days will the work get completed if the man did twice the work as woman and also twice the work as child?
Man did twice work from woman and child both. This means woman and child did equal work and man twice of that. So 2x + x + x = 1, x = 1/4
Woman did 1/4 of work, child did 1/4 of work and man 2*(1/4) = 1/2 of work
8 m in 5 days, so 1 man in 40 days, so 1/2 work in 20 days.
12 w in 10 days, so 1 woman in 120 days, so 1/4 work in 30 days.
10 c in 24 days, so 1 child in 240 days, so 1/4 work in 60 days.
So 1/20 + 1/30 + 1/60
The difference between the amounts received in 2 years when compounded semi-annually and compounded annually is Rs 60.25. If the rate of interest is 20% per annum, what is the sum of money lent?
P[1 + (r/2)/100]4 – P[1 + r/100]2 = 60.25
P[1 + 10/100]4 – P[1 + 20/100]2 = 60.25
P [ (11/10)4 – (6/5)2] = 60.25
Solve, P = 2,500
An article is sold at 40% profit. If the CP and the SP of the article are increased by Rs 30 and Rs 12 respectively, the profit% becomes 33 1/3%, what is the cost price of the article?
CP = x, then SP = (140/100)*x = 14x/10
New CP = (x+30), new SP = (14x/10 + 12), new profit% = 33 1/3 = 100/3%
So (14x/10 + 12) = [(100/3 + 100)/100] * (x+30)
Solve, x = 420
A rectangular plot has a path in the middle of the plot which is running parallel to the breadth of the plot. The area of rest of the plot leaving the path is 320 m2. If the width of the path is 4 m and length of path is greater than its width by 4 m, what is the area of rectangular plot?
412 m^2
See the figure
Path of 4 m wide is in the middle parallel to breadth, length of path which is breadth of rectangular plot is 4+4 = 8m
Path is in the middle, so BC = QS = x m
Now area of rest of the plot leaving the path is 112 this means area of ABCD + area of PQRS is
So x*8 + x*8 = 320
Solve, x = 20
So length of plot is 20+4+20 = 44, breadth is 8
So area = 44*8

Directions for questions (121-130) : Read the following passages carefully and answer the questions given below them. Certain words are printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
Permitting FDI in multibrand retail has been one of the most debated issues over the last few years at the policy level. It has been placed on the back burner by successive governments in response to fears about its impact on small retailers, who are large generators of employment.
The main drive for this policy seems to be the recognition that the Indian economy faces serious supply-side constraints, particularly in the food retail chains. Further, there has been lack of investments in the logistics of retail chains creating inefficiencies in the supply chain.
The Indian retail industry is still at a nascent stage and modernisation of retail trade is long overdue. This policy change by the government will open up strategic investment opportunities for global retailers. This will have a significant positive impact on all the stakeholders and will provide a necessary fillip to the growth of the Indian economy.
With the entry of foreign retailers, consumers will experience more variety of products, with improved quality. Foreign 'low-cost' big players will adopt an integrated supply chain management system that, in turn, should help lower prices of products, benefiting consumers at large.
FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) companies are expected to benefit too. This would be evident through the increased volume of sales due to wider distribution channels. Currently, FMCG companies sell 6% nationally through modern retail outlets and 20% in metros through this channel.
This number is definitely expected to scale up with the emergence of foreign retail stores. Modern retailing is likely to play an important role in increasing the consumption of processed food items. It will also aid better understanding of consumer preferences as it is a vital link between the processors and consumers.
However, there are a few challenges that the FMCG industry needs to address. Price realisation for the FMCG companies may come down as they need to bargain hard with big retail chains. Also, private labels may pose a threat to established brands.
Currently, the lack of adequate storage facilities causes heavy losses to farmers. As per industry estimates, 35-40% of fruit and vegetables and nearly 10% of food grains in India are wasted annually. Though FDI is permitted in cold chains to the extent of 100%, in the absence of FDI in front-end retail, investment flows into this sector have been insignificant. Thus, FDI in retail would help in addressing this issue with compulsory investment of 50% in back-end.
Farmers would also be able to secure remunerative prices. In the present dispensation, there is a complex chain of procurement involving several middlemen. FDI in retail will create the enabling environment and it is expected that progressive states will undertake gradual reform of the APMC (Agricultural Produce Market Committee) Act.
This will ensure direct procurement, however, for this immediate adopting of a model APMC Act by all states is imperative. Huge investments in the retail sector will see gainful employment opportunities in processing, sorting, marketing, logistic management and the front-end retail business.
The impact on government would be largely in terms of increase in tax revenues for the exchequer. Also, the government could be aided in regulation of food inflation. With reduced wastage, it is expected that the concern of food inflation would be addressed.
The policy change will bring about the development of a robust supply chain that, in turn, will integrate small and medium-size enterprises into the modern trade process. This would result in knowledge and skills transfer, ensuring that SMEs receive higher prices for their produce/supplies. IT would also ensure a more transparent mechanism for pricing, and better access to the intermediate market, in particular at the international level.
Which of the following factors is/are in support of FDI in Indian multibrand retail?
(A) Limitations of supply in food retail chains
(B) Loss of Jobs created by small retailers
(C) Insignificant investment flows into cold chains' sector

Why has the provision of 100% FDI in cold chains not produced results?

Indian cold chain industry has already reached saturation.
Food material is wasted in large quantities at the farmer level, so cold chains do not make profits.
FDI in front-end operations was not allowed and hence retailers did not much invest in back-end operations.
According to the passage, how would the arrival of foreign retailers help in checking food inflation?
There would be an increase in revenues for the government.
Food prices would be lowered.
There would be more investments in storage facilities by the retailers
There would be integration of small and medium size enterprises into the trade process.

"Not only … but also" connects two words in same parts of speech. Therefore, if 'not only' is followed by a noun 'but also' is also followed by a noun. Similarly, they can be followed by two participles. In the given sentence, holding and rendering are two participles. As 'but also' is followed by 'rendering' so 'not only' must be followed by holding (participle). Therefore, 'for holding not only' should be substituted with 'for not only holding'.
