English Language

Directions (Q. 71-75) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.Certain words/pharases have been printed in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of thequestions.



Thinking of what education might look like in the next decade, one quickly realises that thetrends in technology are leaving a large no. of our student behind. Today is an age of exponential change.New and ever day and in every corner of society.

Educating the best and the brightest in this brave new world will take a new and improvededucational paradigm. Allowing our educational tools to age in the corner of the classroom will be themistake that may cost us our future. Throwing away masses of children to inequitable access will ensurethat who languish at the bottom of the global pool of employable workers for decades to come.

Technology will shape the way educate students in the next decade.A user is not simply a personwho uses. For the student, being a user should involve using the latest technology in a free andautonomous manner. This new- found freedom will allow the student to became an active participant inhis/her education instead of passive passenger. In our current technological society, being a user alsomeans being tracked. Tracking a student means having the ability to target education towards weaknessand strengths. The ability to accurate customise curricula to the individual has been the holy grail ofeducational philosophy for many years. This golden age of technological development may soon enablethis dream to become a reality.

Current educational and individual assessment is arbitrary at best. Accurately assessing astudent can only be achieved by using modern tracking and database technologies. Imagine a world whereevery child has a table computer with ready access to the internet. Further, imagine a world where amisspelled word brings up a spelling challenge application instead of an auto correction. Try tocontemplate what it would mean for a teacher to have a database of every misspelled word, everymisunderstood concept or every missed equation for each of their students. Try to envision a teacher withthe ability to customize the experience of the individual user with minimal effort. Imagine the curriculumbeing automatically targeted to the user through an intuitive educational platform that knows all strengthsand each unique weakness. In the last few hundred years, most individuals would consider an educationas something you receive. You often hear the question asked, Where did you receive your education?As we proceed through the next decade, education will slowly move away from reception and towardbeing custom designed for the individual user. New technology will not only allows us to receive aneducation. The question we might ask in ten years is. How did you develop your education ? Thequestion of where will still be important, but the how of the matter will be the focus that defines theindividual.

2. Option DExports in April 2000 = 73% of April 2001 exports= 73% of 420 => 3007 cr.Growth = 4120-3007/3007 => 37%

3. Option BAverage monthly exports in 2001 = Total exports/12=40350/12=Rs. 3362.5 cr.

4. Option ABy visual inspection, sharpest increase is in March 2001.

5. Option CBy visual inspection, exports have declined in June, September and October.

6. Option ALet x,x+2,x+4 and x+6 be the four consecutive even numbers.According to question ( ) = 27 => => x=24

7. Option AA 50 km/hr B--------------56 km/hr----------------------Avg. Speed = => => 52.83 km/hr.

8. Option DActually it means 5 is what percent of 20, which can be calculated as 100 => 5 * 5 =>25

9. Option ALet Original price = Rs. X per kg.Reduced price = Rs per kg.So, = 10.510000 7900 = 10.5 * 79x => = . So, reduced price = Rs. . per kg. => Rs. 2 per kg.

10. Option D132 = 4 3 11So, if the number divisible by all the three number 4,3 and 11, then the number is divisible by132.Therefore the following numbers are divisible by 132:264,396,792 and 6336.Required number of number = 4



11. Option AGiven number = 97215x6(6+5+2+9)-(x+1+7)=(14-x),which must be divisible by 11So, x = 3

12. Option DGiven exp. ( ) => =>

13. Option C1 * 3 + 2 = 5, 5 * 3 + 2 = 17, 17 * 3 + 2 = 53,53 * 3 + 2 = 161, 161 * 3 + 2 = 485, 485 * 3 + 2 = 1457

14. Option C1 * 3 + 1 = 4, 4 * 3 + 2 = 14, 14 * 3 + 3 = 45,45*3 + 4 =139, 139 * 3 + 5 = 422, 422 * 3 + 6 = 1272

15. Option EThe difference between the working females in Bangalore and the working males in Chennai =32.5 22.5 = 10 lakh

16. Option BIncome per working person =

Income per working person in Delhi =

= = Rs.130.9

In Chennai = =. . = Rs.80.

In Mumbai = =

= Rs.61.53.

In Kolkata = =. = Rs.44.8.

In Bangalore = =. = Rs.34.78.

In Jaipur = =. = Rs.18.82.

The income per working person in Jaipur is the minimum.

17. Option DAverage number of working males = (30 + 22.5 + 35 + 30 + 25 + 17.5) = 26.66 lakhAverage number of working females = (25 + 17.5 + 30 + 32.5 + 32.5 + 25) = 27.08 lakh

So, required sum = 26.66 + 27.08 = 53.75 lakh

18. Option ATotal income of Delhi = [200 ] = Rs.72 CroreIncome per person = = Rs.130.9So, required difference of income = 5 lakh 130.9 = Rs.654.5 lakh



= Rs.6.545 Crore

19. Option CRequired % = 100 = 120%

20. Option AThe ratio of milk in 3 vessels = : :

= : :

21. Option DG = 19W and C = 9WLet 1 gm of gold be mixed with x gm of copper to get (1 + x) gm of the alloy.(1 gm gold) + (x gm copper) = (x + 1) gm of alloy19W + 9Wx = (x + 1) 15W19 + 9x = 15 (x + 1)6x = 4x =

So, ratio of gold with copper = 1 : = 3 : 2

22. Option B10% of B = G

= GB = GSo, =B : G = 5 : 2

23. Option CC.P. = Rs.[80000 + 5000 + 1000]

= Rs.86000Profit = 25%S.P. = 12.5% of Rs.86000

= Rs.[ 86000]= Rs.107500

24. Option BLet CP of each article be Rs.1Then, CP of 18 articles = Rs.18, SP of 18 articles = Rs.21So, gain % = [ 100]% = 16 %

25. Option ALet C.P. of each mango be Rs.1C.P. of 110 mangoes = Rs.110; S.P. of 110 mangoes = Rs.120So, gain % = [ 100]% = 9 %



26. Option BLet sum = x. Then, S.I. = 2x, Time = 15 years = yearsSo, rate = [ ]% = %Now, sum = x, S.I. = x, Rate = %So, time = = years = 7 years 9 months

27. Option CDifference in C.I. and S.I. for 2 years = Rs.32S.I. for one year = Rs.400So, S.I. on Rs.400 for one year = Rs.32So, rate = [ ]% = 8%Hence, difference in C.I. and S.I. for 3rd year = S.I. on Rs.832 = Rs.[ ] = Rs.66.56Total difference = Rs. (32 + 66.56) = Rs.98.56

28. Option D(P + Q + R)s 1 hours work = [ + + ] =Work done by P, Q and R in 2 hours = [ 2] =Remaining work = [1 ] =(Q + R)s 1 hours work = [ + ] =Now, work is done by Q and R in 1 hour.So, work will be done by Q and R in [ ] = hours 2 hours

So, the work will be finished approximately 2 hours after 11 A.M., i.e., around 1 P.M.

29. Option AP can complete the work in (12 8) hrs. = 96 hrs.Q can complete the work in (8 10) hrs. = 80 hrs.Ps 1 hours work = and Qs 1 hours work =[P + Q)s 1 hours work = [ + ] =So, both P and Q will finish the work in [ ] hrs.Number of days of 8 hours each = [ ] = days =5 days

30. Option A1 mans 1 days work =

12 mens 6 days work = [ 6] = Remaining work = [1 ] =18 mens 1 days work = [ 18] =

work is done by them in 1 day.So, work is done by them in [6 ] = 2 days

31. Option CLet the speed of the train be x km/hr and that of the car be y km/hr



Then, + = 8 or + = (i)And, + = or + = (ii)Solving (i) and (ii), we get x = 60 and y = 80So, Ratio of speeds = 60 : 80 = 3 : 4

32. Option CDistance covered in first 2 hours = (70 2) km = 140 kmDistance covered in next 2 hours = (80 2) km = 160 kmRemaining distance = 345 (140 + 160) = 45 kmSpeed in the fifth hour = 90 km/hrTime taken to cover 45 km = [ ] hr. = hr.So, total time taken = [2 + 2 + ] = 4 hrs.

33. Option BBy the rule of allegation, we have:

Strength of 1st Jar Strength of 2nd Jar

So, ratio of 1st and 2nd quantities = 7 : 14 = 1 : 2So, required quantity replaced =

34. Option ALet the price of the mixed variety be Rs. x per kg.By rule of allegation, we have:Cost of 1 kg of type 1 rice Cost of 1 kg of type 2 riceSo, =60 3x = 2x 305x = 90x = 18

35. Option ALet cost of 1 litre milk be Rs. 1Milk in 1 litre mix.in A = litre, C.P. of 1 litre mix. in A = Rs.Milk in 1 litre mix.in B = litre, C.P. of l litre mix. in B = Rs.Milk in 1 litre of final mix. = [ 1] = litre; Mean price = Rs.By the rule of allegation, we have :C.P. of 1 litre mixture in A C.P. of 1 litre mixture in B



So, required ratio = : = 2 : 7
