Question : A moneylender claims to lend money at the rate of 10% per annum simple interest. However, he takes the interest in advance when he lends a sum for one year. At what interest rate does he lend the money?
Option 1: $10$%
Option 2: $10\frac{1}{9}$%
Option 3: $11$%
Option 4: $11\frac{1}{9}$%
Correct Answer: $11\frac{1}{9}$%
Solution : Given: Rate = 10% Let the amount lent be Rs. 100. Interest =10% of 100 = Rs. 10 Actual amount = 100 – 10 = Rs. 90 Actual rate = $10×\frac{100}{90}=11\frac{1}{9}$% Hence, the correct answer is $11\frac{1}{9}$%.
Question : Comprehension:
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
The drainage systems of India are mainly controlled by the broad relief features of the subcontinent. Accordingly, the Indian rivers are divided into two major groups: the Himalayan rivers; and the Peninsular rivers.
Apart from originating from the two major physiographic regions of India, the Himalayan and the Peninsular rivers are different from each other in many ways. Most of the Himalayan rivers are perennial. It means that they have water throughout the year. These rivers receive water from rain as well as from melted snow from the lofty mountains. The major Himalayan rivers are the Indus, the Ganga, and the Brahmaputra. These rivers are long and are joined by many large and important tributaries. A river along with its tributaries may be called a river system. The two major Himalayan rivers, the Indus and the Brahmaputra originate from the north of the mountain ranges. They cut through the mountains making gorges in the upper course. The perennial Himalayan rivers have long courses from their source to the sea. They perform intensive erosional activity in their upper courses and carry huge loads of silt and sand with their swift current. In the middle and the lower courses, these rivers form meanders, oxbow lakes, levees, and many other depositional features in their floodplains as their speed slackens. They also have well-developed deltas.
A large number of the Peninsular rivers like the Godavari, Kaveri, and Krishna are seasonal, as their flow is dependent on rainfall. During the dry season when it doesn’t rain, even the large rivers have reduced flow of water in their channels. The Peninsular rivers have shorter and shallower courses as compared to their Himalayan counterparts. However, some of them originate in the central highlands and flow towards the west. Most of the rivers of peninsular India originate in the Western Ghats and flow towards the Bay of Bengal.
Question:
‘Slackened speed’ suggests:
Option 1: average speed
Option 2: tremendous speed
Option 3: maximum speed
Option 4: reduced speed
Correct Answer: reduced speed
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
Explanation: The passage mentions, "In the middle and lower courses, these rivers form meanders, oxbow lakes, levees, and many other depositional features in their floodplains as their speed slackens." Here, "slackens" indicates a decrease or reduction in
Question : 150 litres mixture of milk and water contains 30 percent milk. How much more milk must be added to make the water percentage in the mixture as 40 percent?
Option 1: 120.5 litres
Option 2: 157.5 litres
Option 3: 132.5 litres
Option 4: 112.5 litres
Correct Answer: 112.5 litres
Solution : The initial volume of the mixture = 150 litres, of which 30% is milk. The volume of milk in the mixture is = 150 ×$ \frac{30}{100}$ = 45 litres The volume of water in the mixture is = 150 – 45 = 105 litres
Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – Operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed.) (6, 12, 228) (8, 3, 515)
Option 1: (3, 28, 56)
Option 2: (13, 11, 172)
Option 3: (4, 18, 82)
Option 4: (9, 23, 119)
Correct Answer: (4, 18, 82)
Solution : Given: (6, 12, 228); (8, 3, 515)
Here, (6, 12, 228)→(6)3 + 12 = 216 + 12 = 228 (8, 3, 515)→(8)3 + 3 = 512 + 3 = 515
Let's check the options – First option: (3, 28, 56)→(3)3
Question : Directions: In a certain code language, BURN is written as CVS14. How will GOLD be written in that language?
Option 1: HPM4
Option 2: HP4M
Option 3: HMP4
Option 4: PHM4
Correct Answer: HPM4
Solution : Given: BURN is written as CVS14.
Add 1 to the place values of the first three letters and write the place value of the fourth letter to get the required code – BURN→B + 1 = C; U + 1 = V; R + 1
Question : In which year did James Mill publish a massive three-volume work, “A History of British India”?
Option 1: 1815
Option 2: 1807
Option 3: 1805
Option 4: 1817
Correct Answer: 1817
Solution : The correct answer is 1817.

Question : Directions: Three statements are followed by three conclusions numbered I, II, and III. You have to consider these statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Decide which of the given conclusions logically follows (s) from the given statements. Statements: All tools are spanners. Some spanners are utensils. No spanner is an iron. Conclusions: (I) Some tools are irons. (II) Some utensils are tools. (III) Some utensils are not iron.
Option 1: Only conclusion III follows
Option 2: All conclusions I, II, and III follow
Option 3: Only conclusion I follows
Option 4: Either conclusion I or conclusion III follows
Correct Answer: Only conclusion III follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): Some tools are irons – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is a negative relation between spanners and irons
