The problem of pollution has become very serious in recent years. The people of the developed nations try to solve this problem, but in
India we have not paid suf cient attention to it. Our future generations will suffer from the harmful effect of pollution if we do not tackle the
problem now.
There are several causes of pollution. Today we cut down trees and plants. Trees and plants turn carbon-dioxide into oxygen. The air is not
puri ed in the absence of trees and plants. When forests are cut down we face the problem of soil erosion too. Arti cial fertilizers are used
to maintain the productivity of soil. We use polluted water to water the plants and vegetables. So our vegetables and crops get polluted.
Pesticides are also a source of pollution of our crops, vegetables and fruits. There are more and more vehicles on our roads. They produce
noises which are harmful for our health.
The pollution of air and water will affect our health badly. We may not get breathable air. So our health will suffer. We shall suffer from
various diseases. In the absence of fresh air, our food ft/ill also get polluted. If the increasing pollution is not checked, we cannot live a
healthy life. Thus the very existence of life on earth will be in danger.'
We must have balanced and planned industrial growth in order to check this pollution. Towns and cities should be planned carefully. We
must not dump industrial wastes on the earth or in the rivers. It should be destroyed by the use of suitable chemicals, We should plant more
and more trees and the cutting down of forests should stop. We should not use polluted water for irrigation. Vehicles must use some new
techniques so that they may not produce deafening noises. At the same time, we must continue our careful vigil so that we may live free
from polluted air, water and food.

In the ancient time the war was limited to a certain place. It was fought between certain groups, but science has given us more destructive
power today. We have nuclear bombs. We have powerful war planes. There are destructive tanks. Rockets and intercontinental missiles
have made the situation still worse.
Machines create horrors for us. There are electronic weapons. They have removed the human element from the actual war front. The user
of the weapon keeps himself away from the battle- eld. The fear of war is growing in our mind every day. Satellites are moving in space.
They take photographs of each detail on earth. So everything is exposed to them. The modern war may be fought not on land in or on water
or in the air but also in space. So the war will not be local as in the ancient time. But it will be a total war.
The whole world is sharply divided between two warring camps, Each camp has deadly weapons to nish the other. So any local war may
take the form of a total war. The future of man is in the hands of some mad people. Who knows when they may lose their sense? The whole
world may come under the ames of war. Then it will be reduced to nothing. We still remember what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
during World War II. Today we have weapons hundred and thousand times superior to the ones used during . World War II.
The people of the world must do something to prevent war. The production of deadly weapons should stop. Big Powers should sit round the
table to create an atmosphere of hope and trust. If war breaks out, nobody will be alive. Even plants and trees will die. In fact the horrors of
the modern war cannot be described in words. War settles no problems. But it destroys everything.

Q1
3600

Solution

3600, because answer should be a multiple of LCM (8, 9, 10).

Q2
8, 6, 4

Solution

5X × 4Y + 7X × 3Y + 9X × 2Y = 118 or XY = 2. Now daily wages of each = 4XY, 3XY, 2XY = Rs. 8, 6, 4 respectively.

Q3
1/3

Solution

the work done by 1 man in a day ( no of units by a man/day) be m,

the work done by 1 boy in a day ( no of untis by a boy / day ) be b.

Given

(8 m + 2 b ) can do a piece of work in 7 days

(25 m + 13 b ) can do a piece of work in 2 days

we know that ef ciency * time = work

from this we can say that (8 m + 2 b ) * 7 = work done

(25 m + 13 b ) * 2 = work done

to make our calculation part easy we’ll consider the lcm (7,2) as the work done i.e., 14

=> ( 8 m + 2 b ) * 7 = 14 units

= > ( 8 m + 2 b ) = 2 units/ day ……………eq ( a )

/
 ( from the above equation we can say that 8 men and 2 boys will do 2 units per day)

and

(25 m + 13 b ) * 2 = 14 units

=> ( 25 m + 13 b ) = 7 units / day …………..eq ( b)

if we solve eq ( a) and eq (b ) we get

m = 2/9 units/day

b = 1/9 units/day

we need to nd 11 men and 20 boys

i.e., ( 11 m + 20 b ) units /day

=> 11 * 2/9 + 20 * 1/9 units /day

=> 42/9 units/day

and total units to be completed is 14 so the the time taken by 11 men and

20 boys to complete the work is 14/(42/9) i.e., 3 days

in one day the can complete 1/3 of the work.

Solution
/
 Let V the volume of the pool and x hours be the time in which the second pipe can ll the pool. The rst pipe takes x + 5 hours

The third pipe takes x – 4 hours

Then, V/x + 5 + V/x = V/x – 4 => 1/x + 5 + 1/x = 1/x – 4

(2x + 5)(x – 4) = x(x + 5) => x2 – 8x – 20 = 0

(x – 10)(x + 2) = 0 => x = 10; x = –2 is rejected

1/10 + 1/6 = 16/60 of the pole will be second and third pipes together in1 hour. To ll the pool, they take 60/16 hours.

Q5
12

Solution

(A+B) - (B+C) = 12

A - C = 12

C is younger than A by 12 years.

Q6
12

Solution

Given that A+B = 12 + B + C

=> A – C = 12 + B – B = 12

=> C is younger than A by 12 years

Solution

n (S) = 300

Let A be the event of getting a number divisible by 3 and B be the event of getting a number divisible by 5 and (A n B) be event of getting a

number divisible by 3 and 5 both

n (A) = 100/300, n (B) = 60/300, n (A ⋂ B) = 20

P (A ⋂ B) = 20/300 = 1/15

P (A ⋃ B) = P (A) + P (B) – P (A ⋂ B)

= 1/3 + 1/5 – 1/15 = 7/15

Q11

Q6
Priti

Solution

Q7. (a)

Solution

Let the present ages of Ramu and Somu be r years and s years respectively. When Ramu

was s years old, Somu was Image not present years old. But Somu was 5/3 years old (2/3)s

years ago.

Then Ramu was s years old.

Using statement I, r + s = 80

s = 30

I is suf cient. From Statement II, we cannot nd the present age of Somu, as we only know

about the ratio of their ages.

∴ II is not suf cient. Ans (1)

Q8. (c)

Solution
/
 Let the rst term and the common ratio be a and r respectively.

Middle term = 2nd term = ar.

Its square = (ar)2 = a2r2.

The terms are a, ar and ar2.

Using statement I,

→ (1)

Or,

Since r is unknown, cannot be found

∴ ar cannot be found.

∴ (ar)2 cannot be found.

I is not suf cient.

Using Statement II, S = a + ar + ar2 = 13 → (2)

a + ar2 is not known.

∴ ar cannot be found

∴ a2r2 cannot be found.

II is not suf cient.

Using both statements,

(2) => a(1 + r + r2) = 13

(1) => (13/a)/ar2 = 13/9

So,

∴ Both the statements taken together are suf cient to answer the question. Ans (3)

Q9. B

Solution

As none of them made the same number of true statements, one of them made three

statements, one made 2 true statements, one made one true statement, and other one made

no true statement.

It is given that all the statements of C are true. We get C’s name has lala and he is in class

four. And mama is in class three. Therefore the third statement of A is also true.
/
 So kaka and baba are in class one and two (in any order)

The 3rd statement made by B or D is lie. Let as assume that the third statement of B is lie.

So the third statement of B will be true, i.e kaka in class one. Then the rst 2 statement of

A become true which violates the conditions.

The third statement of B is true. So the third statement of D is alie. One among A, B, C, D

has made all false statements. As A, B, C has made at least one true statement all the

statements made by D are false.

D’s nickname is not lala and D is not in class 3. Kaka is not in class one. As D’s second

statement is false, B’s second statement must be true, hence B is in class 2 and his

nickname is kaka. Also the nick name of A is mama he is in class 3.

D’s name is baba and he is in class one.

Statement I Statement II Statement III Class Name

A F F T 3 Mama

B F T T 2 Kaka

C T T T 4 Lala

D F F F 1 Baba

B is in class 2.

Q10. D

class four. And mama is in class three. Therefore the third statement of A is also true.

So kaka and baba are in class one and two (in any order)

The 3rd statement made by B or D is lie. Let as assume that the third statement of B is

lie. So the third statement of B will be true, i.e kaka in class one. Then the rst 2

statement of A become true which violates the conditions.

The third statement of B is true. So the third statement of D is alie. One among A, B, C, D

has made all false statements. As A, B, C has made at least one true statement all the

statements made by D are false.

/
 D’s nickname is not lala and D is not in class 3. Kaka is not in class one. As D’s second

statement is false, B’s second statement must be true, hence B is in class 2 and his

nickname is kaka. Also the nick name of A is mama he is in class 3.

D’s name is baba and he is in class one.

Q26. CADB

Solution

The clue words-the parties', 'in this power game', 'but as soon as they gain power' in the

statements A, B and D respectively inform us that they are discussing a point that is

already proposed, and that proposed point can be clearly seen in statement C which refers

to the problem of Jammu and Kashmir in relation to elections. Hence the choice is C

followed by A which discusses the dirty 'alliances' of the parties, unmindful of the

ideologies, to grab power in the elections. Hence the choice is CA as in (3).

Q27. BCAD

Solution

The words 'this' and 'its' in A and C respectively and the de nite article 'the' before 'prime

objective' in D undoubtedly do indicate us that the sentences cannot survive independently.

Hence the obvious opening sentence is B as in (1).

Q28. CDAB

Solution

Though TV also does appear to be the opening sentence it cannot actually be the rst

sentence as the idea of the importance of music is given in 'C'. The words 'however this

statement' of D refer to the 'de nition of music' by Plato as mentioned in C. Hence the

sequence is CDAB.

Q29. DACB

order to make complete sense. The idea of Kashmir is introduced only in B and the other

three sentences talk about the present condition in the state of Kashmir.

Solution

Only statement D can begin a para as all other statements should be preceded by a

previous statement.

Q33. BDCA

one as it is followed by D which explains the words "threaten to mar the 'sunshine' call

centre industry in India". C gives out the reasons and nally A concludes.

Q34. DBCA

Solution

None of the statements except D can begin the para because they cannot make complete

sense unless preceded by a previous statement. Choice 3 is incorrect because D should be

followed by B and not C. Also CA form a pair.

Q35. BDAC

Solution

Statement 'B' is a clear choice to be the opening one as it opens the discussion. Between 1

and 4, which .start with B, 4 is the better one as B is followed by D which is an immediate
