In how many of the above rows is the given information correctly tabulated?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The information is correct in only one row.
Reading the bars: Withdrew 8, F 4, D 8, C 6, B 19 and A 3.
- Row 1 gives grade A as 4; the bar is 3 (4 is the F bar). Wrong.
- Row 2: withdrew 8, grade D 8, grade A 3. All correct.
- Row 3 gives grade C as 8; the bar is 6. Wrong.
So only row 2 is fully correct. Each wrong row changes one value, which is why every entry, not just the first, has to be checked.
A child scored 75 marks in each of five subjects. What is the median marks obtained by the child?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
The median is 75.
The median is the middle value when the data are arranged in order. The five marks are 75, 75, 75, 75, 75, so the middle (third) value is 75; when every value is the same, the mean, median and mode all equal that value.
375 is the total of the marks, 15 is 75 divided by 5, and 70 has no connection with the data.
12 men complete a work in 9 days. After they have worked for 6 days, 6 more men join them. How many days will they take to complete the remaining work?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : A
Total work = \(12 \times 9 = 108\) man-days. Work done in 6 days by 12 men = \(12 \times 6 = 72\) man-days. Remaining work = \(108 - 72 = 36\) man-days. Now, the number of men is \(12+6=18\). Time taken to complete the remaining work = Remaining work / Number of men = 36 / 18 = 2 days.
What is the unit digit of \(9^{99}\)?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
The unit digits of powers of 9 alternate:
\[ 9,\ 1,\ 9,\ 1,\ \ldots \]
Odd exponents end in 9. Since 99 is odd, the unit digit is 9.
After deducting a commission of 5%, a TV set costs Rs. 9595. Its marked price is
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
The commission is deducted from the marked price, so the Rs. 9595 is 95% of it.
\[ \text{MP} \times (1 - 0.05) = 9595 \]
\[ \text{MP} = \frac{9595}{0.95} = \text{Rs. } 10100 \]
Checking: 5% of 10100 is 505, and \( 10100 - 505 = 9595 \).
Adding 5% to Rs. 9595 gives Rs. 10,074.75, which is not the answer - a percentage taken off a larger base cannot be undone by adding the same percentage to the smaller one.
The compound interest accrued on an amount of Rs.44000 at the end of two years is Rs.1193.60. What would be the simple interest accrued on the same amount at the same rate in the same period?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : C
Let the rate of interest be R% p.a.
4400{[1 + R/100]² - 1} = 11193.60
[1 + R/100]² = (44000 + 11193.60)/44000
[1 + R/100]² = 1 + 2544/1000 = 1 + 159/625
[1 + R/100]² = 784/625 = (28/25)2
1 + R/100 = 28/25
R/100 = 3/25
Therefore R = 12 SI on Rs.44000 at 12% p.a. for two years = 44000(2)(12)/100
=Rs.10560

Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a circle facing the centre. B is second to the right of D, who is third to the right of F. C is second to the left of A, who is second to the left of F. G is third to the right of E.
In which of the following combinations is the first person sitting between the second and the third persons?
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: ABE
Facing the centre, each person’s left is the next seat clockwise and their right the next seat anticlockwise. Fix B; D sits two to B’s left, F three beyond D, A two to F’s left and C two to A’s left - a single chain filling five seats. G three to E’s right then fits the remaining three in only one way. Clockwise the circle reads B → C → D → G → H → F → E → A.
In ABE the first person named, A, sits directly between the other two, with B on one side and E on the other. In the other groups the first person is not between the two that follow.

Statement: Should the railways immediately stop issuing free passes to all its employees?
Arguments:
1. No. The employees have the right to travel free.
2. Yes. This will help railways to provide better facility
Your Answer : (Not Answered)
Correct Answer : D
Correct answer: Neither I nor II is strong
Argument 1 asserts a right without showing where it comes from; a concession granted by an employer is not a right. Argument 2 supposes the saving would improve facilities, but the sum is trifling beside the railways’ budget. Neither is strong.
