Question : Comprehension: Read the following passage and answer the questions. As I turned to the main road, my smartphone rang. I looked at the car's dashboard display for a fraction of a second to see the caller's name while I reflexively whirled the wheel around the street corner. The brief lapse in concentration was enough to miss a biker. Fortunately, both of us stopped at the right time but he ranted expletives at my family, particularly the women. Undeterred, I opened the window, smiled at him and said, "I am sorry." He immediately paused, and then just advised me kindly to look on all sides of the road while driving.
That is the power of the unique and wonderful act called smile. It can break barriers and bridge chasms. The power of the smile is often underestimated by us. Despite being the only species with this graceful expression, humans do not comprehend the myriad strengths of a smile and often forget to use it.
Just like the innumerable gifts of nature which we have taken for granted, I had missed the influence of a smile in my early years. The awakening occurred in my early twenties when I worked as a junior doctor in a hospital. We, a group of doctors, were having coffee together, one of the senior doctors told me, "You seemed to have missed an important developmental milestone."
Developmental milestone refers to various social, motor and vocal skills which a child acquires at each period of its development in infancy and childhood such as rolling over, standing and speaking. To my despair, he declared, "You haven't got your social smile yet." While I considered myself a pleasant person, his harsh comment rather irked me.
At three to four months of age, a growing child starts recognising familiar faces and in an attempt to interact with them, it expresses the social smile. It is typically towards the parents, grandparents and siblings initially, and then slowly extends towards other familiar faces. It is nature's evolutionary attempt to increase the bonding between humans. It is a way of expression to pronounce one's affability. But somewhere during our growth and interaction with society, we have been taught directly or indirectly that strangers are not to be smiled at. After long days of introspection, I made it a point to reclaim my lost milestone.

Question : Vikas gave 3 examinations. The ratio of marks he scored in the 3 examinations is 3 : 5 : 6. The ratio of maximum marks of the 3 examinations is 7 : 11 : 10. If he scored 50 percent marks in total, how many examinations has he scored marks more than 50 percent?
Option 1: None
Option 2: 1
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 2
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : If Vikas scored $3x, 5x, 6x$ marks out of $7y, 11y, 10y$ respectively. Then, according to the question, ⇒ $3x+5x+6x = 0.5 × (7y+11y+10y)$ ⇒ $14x=0.5×28y$ ⇒ $x = y$ ⇒ Percentage of Marks in first exam = $\frac{3x}{7y}$ × 100 = $\frac{3x}{7x}$ × 100
