Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the correct/most appropriate options.
For a few days, no one knew where Venkatashami had gone. Enquiries revealed that he had run away with the Dombara girl. The leader of the troupe came to the Gowda to express his grief and went back to the camp. There was nothing that anyone could do. Four days later, a Gowda from a village some five miles away was passing this way, and he brought Venkatashami and left him at his parents' house. The boy was burning with fever. It seems the girl was with him when he became ill. She had been taken home by her father and Venkatashami had been brought back seriously ill.
The boy did not recover from that illness. He was a handsome boy with an open face. Dark, yes, but attractive. The black of his skin, that of his eyes, and of his moustache were of three different shades. When he smiled, it was like a flash of lightning among the clouds. His body was so well-built, no hammer could break it. The fever that had caught hold of him seemed unwilling to let go of such a fine physique. They call the fever by the name typhoid now and can diagnose it in no time. But those days, nobody was aware of such things. All they knew was that something was wrong with the tongue. He was given the traditional medicines and kept on a local diet. A fortnight later, Venkatashami passed away. His delirious mind rambled and his talk was all about his meeting with the girl. Whenever he was conscious, he kept asking them to call her. It would have been all right if he had been married to her. His request would have been treated with understanding and sympathy, and she would have been sent for. But does one bring the girl who had led him astray to his bedside in these circumstances ?

Quantitative Aptitude [ Question No: 1 To 5 ] :
The true discount on a certain sum of money due 3 year hence is Rs.100 and the S.I. on the same sum for the same time and at the same rate is Rs.120. Find the sum and the rate percent.
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Simple interest is charged on the whole sum, true discount only on the present worth, so
\[ \frac{\text{SI}}{\text{TD}} = \frac{A}{A - \text{TD}} \quad\Longrightarrow\quad \frac{120}{100} = \frac{A}{A - 100} \]
\[ 120A - 12000 = 100A \quad\Longrightarrow\quad A = \text{Rs. } 600 \]
Now use the simple-interest formula on that sum over 3 years:
\[ 120 = \frac{600 \times R \times 3}{100} = 18R \]
\[ R = \frac{120}{18} = \frac{20}{3} = 6\tfrac{2}{3}\% \]
The present worth is \( 600 - 100 = \text{Rs. } 500 \), and 20% of 500 is indeed Rs. 100 - a useful check on both answers at once.
The compound interest on a certain sum for 2 years at 10% per annum is Rs. 525. The simple interest on the same sum for double the time at half the rate percent per annum is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
\[ A = P\left(1 + \frac{R}{100}\right)^{n}, \qquad \text{CI} = A - P, \qquad \text{SI} = \frac{PRn}{100} \]
Recover the principal from the compound interest.
\[ 525 = P\left[(1.1)^{2} - 1\right] = 0.21P \quad\Longrightarrow\quad P = \text{Rs. } 2500 \]
Double the time is 4 years and half the rate is 5%:
\[ \text{SI} = \frac{2500 \times 5 \times 4}{100} = \text{Rs. } 500 \]
Doubling the time while halving the rate leaves simple interest unchanged, since \( Rn \) is the same - the answer would be identical for 2 years at 10%.
Two stations A and B are 110 km apart on a straight line. One train starts from A at 7 a.m. and travels towards B at 20 kmph. Another train starts from B at 8 a.m. and travels towards A at a speed of 25 kmph. At what time will they meet?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
Suppose they meet x hours after 7 a.m.
Distance covered by A in x hours = 20x km.
Distance covered by B in (x - 1) hours = 25(x - 1) km.
20x + 25(x - 1) = 110
" src="https://www.indiabix.com/_files/images/aptitude/1-sym-imp.gif" /> 45x = 135
" src="https://www.indiabix.com/_files/images/aptitude/1-sym-imp.gif" /> x = 3.
So, they meet at 10 a.m.
Rajesh had to arrange his books in uniform groups. He makes groups of 4 books each. But 3 books are left. He tries it with groups of 5 books each. But still 3 books are left. 3 books are still left when he tried with groups of 9 or 10 books each. How many books does he have?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Three books are left over in every arrangement, so the total is 3 more than a common multiple of all four group sizes:
\[ N = \operatorname{LCM}(4,5,9,10)\,k + 3 \]
Taking prime factors, \( 4 = 2^{2} \), \( 5 = 5 \), \( 9 = 3^{2} \), \( 10 = 2 \cdot 5 \):
\[ \operatorname{LCM} = 2^{2} \cdot 3^{2} \cdot 5 = 180 \]
\[ \therefore\; N = 180k + 3, \quad\text{smallest such } N = 183 \]
The other options are all multiples of the LCM with nothing left over, so each would divide exactly and leave no remainder at all.
Average of first five multiples of 3 is:
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The first five multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 - equally spaced, so the average is the middle one.
\[ \frac{3 + 15}{2} = 9 \]

Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : B
The tree presses its mouth against the earth's breast to draw sustenance from it.
The poem calls the tree's mouth 'hungry' and sets it against the 'sweet flowing breast' of the earth. The picture is of a hungry baby feeding, so the tree takes nourishment from the earth through its roots.
Gratitude, inspiration and love are not what a hungry mouth at a breast suggests, and the poem does not state them.

Identify the tense of the given expression : '... led him astray.'
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The expression is in the Simple Past tense.
Led is the past tense of the verb 'lead', used on its own with no helping verb, so '... led him astray' is in the simple past. It reports a completed action in the past.
The past continuous would be 'was leading him astray' and the past perfect 'had led him astray', each with a helping verb. The simple present would be 'leads him astray'.
