A cricketer, whose bowling average was 12.4 runs/wicket takes 5 wickets for 22 runs in a match, thereby decreases his average by
0.4. The number of wickets, taken by him before this match was:
A 78
B 87
C 95
D 105
Answer: C
Explanation:
Let the number of wickets taken = x
Bowling average = 12.4
=> Total runs conceded by the bowler = 12.4x

After the match, new bowling average = 12.4 − 0.4 = 12
12.4x+22
=> x+5 = 12
=> 12.4x + 22 = 12x + 60
=> 12.4x − 12x = 60 − 22
=> 0.4x = 38
38
=> x = 0.4 = 95

Question 65
Sum of the factors of 4b2 c2 − (b2 + c2 − a 2 )2 is
A a+b+c
B 2(a + b + c)
C 0
D 1
Answer: B
Explanation:
Expression : 4b2 c2 − (b2 + c2 − a 2 )2
= (2bc)2 − (b2 + c2 − a 2 )2
Using, x2 − y2 = (x − y)(x + y), where x = 2bc and y = b2 + c2 − a 2
= (2bc − b2 − c2 + a 2 )(2bc + b2 + c2 − a 2 )
= [a 2 − (−2bc + b2 + c2 )][(2bc + b2 + c2 ) − a 2 ]
= [a 2 − (b − c)2 ][(b + c)2 − a 2 ]
= [(a − b + c)(a + b − c)][(b + c − a)(b + c + a)]
Thus, sum of factors = (a − b + c) + (a + b − c) + (b + c − a) + (b + c + a)
= 2a + 2b + 2c = 2(a + b + c)
=> Ans - (B)

If [ 2 (a − b)]2 + ab = p(a + b)2 , then the value of p is
A p=4
B P= 1/2
C P=1/4
D p=2
Answer: C
Explanation:
1
Expression : [ 2 (a − b)]2 + ab = p(a + b)2
a2 +b 2 −2ab
=> 4 + ab = p(a + b)2
a2 +b 2 −2ab+4ab
=> 4 = p(a + b)2
=> a 2 + b2 + 2ab = 4p(a + b)2
=> (a + b)2 = 4p(a + b)2
=> 4p =1
1
=> p = 4
=> Ans - (C)

Answer: C
Explanation:
Let the angles of the triangle be α, β and θ
Here, α + β = 116∘ --------(i)
and α − β = 24∘ -----------(ii)
Adding equations (i) and (ii)
=> 2α = 116 + 24 = 140∘

140
=> α = 2 = 70∘
Substituting it in equation (i), => β = 116 − 70 = 46∘
Also, in a triangle, α + β + θ = 180∘
=> 70∘ + 46∘ + θ = 180∘
=> θ = 180 − 116 = 64∘
Thus, the smallest angle = β = 46∘
=> Ans - (C)
Question 68

To find : BC : DE = ?
Solution : DE is parallel to BC
BC AB
BC AB
=> DE = AD
BC 7
=> DE = 4
Dividing both numerator and denominator by '2'

BC 3.5
=> DE = 2
=> Ans - (C)
Question 69
sin2 63 ∘ +sin2 27 ∘
The value of cos2 17 ∘ +cos2 73 ∘ is
A 0
B 1
C 2
D -1
Answer: B
Explanation:
sin2 63 ∘ +sin2 27 ∘
Expression : cos2 17 ∘ +cos2 73 ∘
= (sin2 63∘ + sin2 (90 − 63)∘ ) ÷ (cos2 17∘ + cos2 (90 − 17)∘ )
Using, sin(90∘ − theta) = cosθ and cos(90∘ − θ) = sinθ
= (sin2 63∘ + cos2 63∘ ) ÷ (cos2 17∘ + sin2 17∘ )
Using, (sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1)
= (1) ÷ (1) =1
=> Ans - (B)

Question 70
The difference between the compound interest and the simple interest on Rs. 6250 at 8% per annum in 2 years is
A Rs.30
B Rs.40
C Rs.50
D Rs.60
Answer: B
Explanation:
Principal (P) = Rs. 6250
Rate of interest (r) = 8% and time period (t) = 2 years

P×r×t
Simple interest = 100
6250×8×2
= 100
= 62.5 × 16 = Rs. 1000

r
Compound interest = P [(1 + 100 )t − 1]
8
8
= 6250[(1 + 100 )2 − 1]
27
= 6250[( 25 )2 − 1]
104
= 6250 × ( 625 )
= Rs. 1040
∴ C.I. - S.I. = 1040 − 1000 = Rs. 40

=> Ans - (B)
Question 71
If the angle of elevation of the top of a pillar from the ground level is raised from 30o to 60o, the length of the shadow of a pillar of
height 50√3 will be decreased by
A 60 m
B 75 m
C 100 m
D 50 m
Answer: C
Explanation:
Given : CD is the pillar = 50 3 m

To find : AB = x = ?
Solution : In △ BCD,
CD
=> tan(60∘ ) = DB
50 3
=> 3= DB
50 3
=> DB = 3
=> DB = 50 -----------(i)
Again, in △ ACD,
CD
=> tan(30∘ ) = AD
1 50 3
=> 3 = x+50 [Using (i)]
=> x + 50 = 50 3 × 3 = 150
=> x = 150 − 50 = 100 m
=> Ans - (C)

D Rs.8860
Answer: B
Explanation:
8
Budget estimated on clothing = 100 × 32000 = 2560
20
Budget estimated on grocery = 100 × 32000 = 6400
Total = 2560 + 6400 = 8960

head from that budgeted is

A Rs.810
B Rs.1738
C Rs.234
D Rs.800
Answer: D
Explanation:
7
Estimated budget on miscellaneous = 100 × 32000 = Rs. 2240
Expenditure incurred on miscellaneous = Rs. 3040 (given)
Increase in amount = 3040-2240 = Rs. 800

19
Amount estimated on electricity = 100 × 32000 = Rs. 6080
6
Amount estimated on cell bill = 100 × 32000 = Rs. 1920
Difference between both bills = 6080-1920 = Rs. 4160
(METHOD II)
% difference in electricity and cell bill = 19-6 = 13%

13
Estimated difference = 100 × 32000 = Rs. 4160
=> Ans - (D)
Question 75
The family actually spent Rs.4672 on Grocery. Then the difference in the amount budgeted and spent on grocery is:
A Rs.1528
B Rs.1728

A passage is given with 5 questions following it. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the
four alternatives and click the button corresponding to it.
There is a growing parallel between India and Europe in terms of language policy and challenges of maintaining a balance between
regional languages, minority languages and the rising demand for English.
The EU's language policy promotes multinationalism and the idea that every EU citizen should learn and speak at least two foreign

languages in addition to their mother tongue. In practice, the foreign language curriculum in European countries is dominated now by
the need to learn English. So the defacto policy is that children should, in addition to the language of their member state, learn English
and one other European language. English has become not only the language of business across Europe, but also the corporate
language of many French, German, Dutch and Spanish enterprises.
The trend across Europe is for schools to begin teaching English in Class I, treating it as a basic skill rather than a foreign language.
This trend began in earnest only after 2000. However, the methods to teach English are diverse - an increasingly popular trend is
towards bilingual schools, which teach through more than one language medium.
Question 96
There is a parallel between India and Europe as regards
A language policy
B trade policy
C foreign policy
D cultural policy
Answer: A
Question 97
According to the passage, the foreign language policy in the EU aims to foster.
A English
B Multilingualism
C Bilingualism
D Only native language
Answer: B

Question 98
The passage says that the rising demand for English in the EU is because of
A immigrants
B emigrants
C Government policy
D trade and commerce
Answer: D
Question 99
EU schools regard English as
A a foreign language
B a difficult language
C a basic skill

D an adult skill
Answer: C
Question 100
In Europe the usual pattern is that
A children should study English late in life
B children should start learning English from class I
C children may not study English when they are at school
D children ought to study English just as a lingua franca
