Directions (Q. 47-50)

After substituting information given in No. (I), (III), (IV) and (VI), we find that Basketball can be played either on Friday or Tuesday. Now from the information (VI), which states that there is a gap of two days between Volleyball and Basketball, it is found that this condition is complied with only if Basketball is played on Tuesday and Volleyball is played on Saturday. Since as per information Table Tennis is played on the previous day of Volleyball, hence Table Tennis is played on Friday. 47. (d) From the table, we conclude that Handball is played on Wednesday, the opening day.

48. (c) The gap between Handball and Basketball is of 5 days.

49. (a) From the table, we find that Handball and Rugby Football are played on two Wednesdays.

50. (e) Kho-Kho is played on Monday. From the information, no game is played on Sunday. Since Sunday exactly precedes Monday, hence Kho-Kho will be preceded by rest day on which no game is played.

Reading Comprehension And Verbal Ability

51. (a): A descriptive passage is a narration of certain event or situation or action. In analytical passages, the author presents the reader with an analysis on the subject. In argumentative passages, the subject is usually an issue that has two sides to it. Data driven passages are generally statistical in nature and may consist of numerical analysis. Abstract passages highlight hypothetical ideas and opinions. Since the passage talks about a host of different strategies to boost your brain function, it is descriptive in nature. Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

52. (d): Option 1 is too extreme as the example of Thomas Edison is given in a different context in the passage. Option 3 is specific to gaming. In comparison to option 2, option 4 is presented in the passage as more of a primary reason behind pursuing a 'quick fix'. Option 5 is very broad and can be eliminated. Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

53. (b) : Statement A can be interpreted as an underlying cause from, “But part of the drive to engineer a quick fix for what ails us is alarming and dangerous.” The phrase “what ails us” hints at the insecurities that we seek to reform. Statement B cannot be associated with the negative repercussions of ‘quick fix’.

Statement C can be inferred as an underlying cause from, “As the pace of life continues to accelerate, there is increasing pressure for a quick fix to boost our cognitive capacities”. Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

54. (b): Option 1 is stated in “The implementation of the internet opened up the methods of communication in innumerable and unimaginable ways to the benefit and detriment of society.” Option 2 with cyber crimes is generic and comprises crimes such as hate crimes, telemarketing and internet fraud, identity theft, and credit card account thefts, etc, which are not mentioned in the passage. Options 3 and 5 are stated in “Possibly the most ubiquitous and most socially accepted illegal activity permitted on the internet is the piracy of entertainment, especially television and film.” Option 4 is stated in “While media producers often bemoan loudly how harmful piracy is to the entertainment industry…”Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

55. (c): Option 1 is validated by “...college-aged students to pirate are their technological savviness, the internet age they grew up in, and the lack of law enforcement” Option 2 is validated by “Other common reasons include the lack of availability at a low cost...” Option 3 weakens the stance on young adults that take part in illegal online piracy as they are most unlikely to resort to legal alternatives. Option 4 is validated by “Due to the demographics associated with piracy it is naïve to assume they would alternatively pay for content, and that belief overlooks the fact that free access actually may lead to paying customers in the future.” Option 5 is validated by “One of the most common justifications is that the activity is so rampant that one additional pirate causes no damage.” Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

56. (b): Statement A is contrary to what the text says about the possibility of people eventually paying for content. Statement B mentions “certain demographics”, the passage only talks about the demographic of young adults. Thus, statement B cannot be deduced. Statement C can be logically deduced. If the content is freely available, naturally more people will be willing to indulge in it. Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

75. (e)

76. (e) According to the statement, Government has spoiled financial institutions by appointing bureaucrats as Directors. This means that only those persons should be appointed as Directors who are experts in finance and are acquainted with the financial work of the institute. So, both I and II follow.

77. (a) Clearly, I directly follows from the given statement. Also, it is mentioned that old ideas are replaced by new ones, as thinking changes with the progressing time. So, II does not follow.

78. (b) The fact given in I is quite contrary to the given statement. So, I does not follow. II mentions the direct implications of the state discussed in the statement. Thus, II follows.

79. (a) Clearly, harnessing solar energy will be helpful as it is an inexhaustible resource unlike other resources. So, argument I

holds. But argument II is vague as solar energy is the cheapest form of energy.

80. (e) The students union formation shall be a step towards giving to students the basic education in the field of politics. However, it shall create the same political atmosphere in the campus. Thus, both the arguments hold strong.

81. (a) Clearly, health of the citizens is an issue of major concern for the Government. So, a product like drugs, must be first studied and tested in the Indian context before giving licence for its sale. So, only argument I holds strong.

82. (a) Clearly, for better economic gain, losses should be reduced and income increased. So, only course I follows.

83. (d) The statement mentions that the commercial banks violate a directive issued by the RBI. The remedy is only to make the banks implement the Act. So, none of the courses follows.

84. (b) In the break-out of a natural calamity, the basic duty of the government becomes to provide the basic amenities essential to save the lives of people and cattle. Providing financial assistance to all would put undue burden on the country's resources. So, only II follows.

85. (e) The situation demands creating awareness among people about the dangers of drinking polluted water so that they themselves refrain from the same, and at the same time taking steps to provide safe drinking water. So, both the courses follow.
