General English
“Amble” means to walk at a slow, relaxed pace without any particular purpose, which is walking aimlessly.
“Slither” is to slide like a snake, “crawl” is to move on hands and knees, and “sprint” is to run at full speed. None of them is aimless walking.
To “get on someone’s nerves” is an idiom meaning to annoy or irritate them.
It has nothing to do with illness (A) or sadness (B). D reads the phrase literally, as physical pain.
Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, so with no water logging they will not breed. The first conditional (if + present, will + verb) also fits the grammar.
A and C say the opposite of the logic. B uses the future perfect continuous, which has no place in a simple conditional.
A compound word joins two independent words. “Underline” = under + line.
“Kingdom” and “movement” are a root word plus a suffix (-dom, -ment), not two words. “Courage” is a single root word.
The reporting verb “said” is in the past, so the simple past “slipped” moves back to the past perfect “had slipped”. The past continuous in the time clause (“was trying”) stays as it is.
B changes the reporting verb to “says”. C wrongly uses the present perfect. D leaves “slipped” unchanged.
Analytical & Logical Reasoning
In each cluster, the 2nd letter is the opposite of the 1st (their positions add to 27), and the 3rd letter is 1st + 2.
- CXE: C(3)–X(24) opposite; E = C + 2 ✓
- UFW: U(21)–F(6) opposite; W = U + 2 ✓
- BYD: B(2)–Y(25) opposite; D = B + 2 ✓
- KPT: K(11)–P(16) opposite, but T = K + 9 ✗
So KPT is the odd one.
| 4 | 3 | 18 |
| 5 | 6 | 27 |
| 7 | 3 | ? |
Third number = 3 × first + 2 × second.
- 3 × 4 + 2 × 3 = 12 + 6 = 18 ✓
- 3 × 5 + 2 × 6 = 15 + 12 = 27 ✓
- 3 × 7 + 2 × 3 = 21 + 6 = 27
12 May 2011 is a Thursday, so 10 May 2011 is a Tuesday.
From 10 May 2004 to 10 May 2011 is 7 years. Only one 29 February falls in between (2008; 29 Feb 2004 is before May). Odd days = 7 + 1 = 8 ≡ 1.
So 10 May 2004 is one day before Tuesday: Monday.
Each term is a cube (bases 13, 16, 19, 22, … rising by 3) plus 3, 4, 5, 6, …:
- 133 + 3 = 2197 + 3 = 2200
- 163 + 4 = 4096 + 4 = 4100
- 193 + 5 = 6859 + 5 = 6864
- 223 + 6 = 10648 + 6 = 10654
- 253 + 7 = 15625 + 7 = 15632
- Kilometer
- Hectometer
- Millimeter
- Centimeter
- Decameter
In increasing size: millimeter (0.001 m) → centimeter (0.01 m) → decameter (10 m) → hectometer (100 m) → kilometer (1000 m), i.e. 3, 4, 5, 2, 1.
D puts hectometer before decameter. A and B are neither ascending nor descending.
- The government may suspend all the striking teachers.
- The government may revise the pay of the college teachers in the current year.
II is implicit: teachers strike only because they believe the pressure may make the government revise pay this year. Otherwise the strike would be pointless.
I is not implicit: nobody goes on strike assuming they will be suspended. If anything, that would discourage the strike.
Take P as (0, 0).
- Friend 1: 6 km North → (0, 6); a left turn faces West, 6 km → (−6, 6).
- Friend 2: 6 km East → (6, 0); a left turn faces North, 6 km → (6, 6).
Both are on the line y = 6, so the distance between them = 6 − (−6) = 12 km.
Who is second to the right of T?
- Y and U. Y is in the middle (seat 4) and third to the left of U, so U is at seat 7.
- T and W. W is fifth to the right of T and not at an end, so T is at 1 and W at 6.
- Z. Seats 2, 3 and 5 remain. Z can’t be next to Y (3 or 5), so Z is at 2.
- X and V. Two people sit between Z and X, so X is at 5 and V takes seat 3.
| Seat | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Person | T | Z | V | Y | X | W | U |
Second to the right of T (seat 1) is seat 3: V.
Quantitative Ability
Each cycle of 3 stops discharges 5 + 3 + 2 = 10 passengers and covers 4 floors (3 stops + 1 skipped floor).
7 cycles = 21 stops and 70 passengers, ending at floor 27. Floor 28 is skipped. 8 passengers remain: stop 22 (floor 29) drops 5, and stop 23 (floor 30) drops 3.
The lift becomes empty at the 30th floor.
Let incomes be 36, 48, 60 (ratio 3:4:5). Trisha saves 60/6 = 10, so she spends 50. Her share of the spending ratio is 6 parts, so 1 part = 50/6.
Isha spends 3 × 50/6 = 25 and saves 36 − 25 = 11. Nisha spends 5 × 50/6 = 125/3 and saves 48 − 125/3 = 19/3.
Ratio = 11 : 19/3 = 33 : 19.
Let the roots be α and 2α. Then α + 2α = 3α = −ba and α · 2α = 2α2 = ca.
Dividing the product by the sum: 2α23α = −cb, so α = −3c2b.
The roots are −3c2b and 2α = −3cb.
Sphere: r = 3 cm, so volume = 43π × 27 = 36π cm3.
Wire: r = 1 mm = 0.1 cm, so the cross-section = 0.01π cm2.
Length = 36π ÷ 0.01π = 3600 cm = 36 m, which is not among A–C. So the answer is None of these.
New revenue = 1.26P × 0.70V = 0.882 PV = 44.1 Cr.
Old revenue PV = 44.1 ÷ 0.882 = Rs. 50 Cr.
(x + 1x)2 = x2 + 1x2 + 2 = 83 + 2 = 85, so x + 1x = √85.
x3 + 1x3 = (x + 1x)3 − 3(x + 1x) = 85√85 − 3√85 = 82√85.
82√85 = √(822 × 85) = √571540 ≈ 756.00 (to two decimal places) ≈ 756.
Choose which 2 of the 3 throws show a 6: 3C2 = 3 ways.
P = 3 × (16)2 × 56 = 15216 = 572.
Decision Making & Ethics
- A clinic's privacy charter states: "Patient records may only be accessed by staff directly involved in the patient's current treatment."
- A nurse in the pediatric ward accesses the medical record of a celebrity currently admitted to the cardiology ward, simply out of curiosity.
- The nurse violated the clinic's privacy charter.
- The celebrity's medical condition is now public knowledge.
I follows: a pediatric nurse is not involved in a cardiology patient’s treatment, and the access was out of curiosity. That is a direct breach of the charter.
II does not follow: viewing a record is not the same as disclosing it. Nothing says the information was shared with anyone.
The company knows the machines will soon become waste in places that can’t recycle them safely. The real effect is shifting hazardous e-waste and its disposal costs onto poorer nations, labelled as charity. That is toxic colonialism.
A ignores the foreseeable harm. C wrongly says responsibility ends with the donation. D misses the point: selling the computers would create the same e-waste problem.
- Eliminating all single-use plastics from the event.
- Ensuring clearly labelled recycling bins are placed next to the trash cans for any unavoidable waste.
- Purchasing carbon offsets for the flights taken by executives to attend the conference.
- Sending out an email to the attendees about how sustainable the conference is.
This follows the waste hierarchy: prevent first, manage what remains next, compensate after that, and communicate last.
- 1: eliminate single-use plastics, so the waste is never created.
- 2: recycle the unavoidable waste.
- 3: offset the emissions that can’t be avoided. This is a fallback, not a fix.
- 4: communication comes last; promoting sustainability before acting is greenwashing.
B recycles before reducing. C and D rank offsets above actually cutting waste.
Labelling a personal celebration as “Client Entertainment” is expense fraud. A senior’s instruction doesn’t make it legitimate. The honest action is to refuse to file it and bear his own cost.
A takes part in the fraud. B still files a false claim while contradicting it. D commits the fraud and then reports it, which is inconsistent and still dishonest.
Ethical leaders give credit where it is due, especially to people who aren’t in the room to speak for themselves. Naming the manager to the executive committee is honest and builds trust.
A takes credit for someone else’s work. B hides the individual contribution behind vague praise. C lets the CEO keep a false impression and offers a private favour in place of public credit.
