Question : Comprehension: Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow. It is not an exaggeration to say that the question of where and when the Black Death, the deadliest pandemic ever, originated is one of the biggest mysteries in human history. After all, the Black Death was the first wave of the second plague pandemic of the 14th to early 19th centuries. It killed some 50–60% of the population in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, and an unaccountable number of people in Central Asia. Different proposals, based on competing theories, have been put forward. But in 2017, I came across some records describing an intriguing medieval cemetery in Kara-Djigach, Chüy Valley, northern Kyrgyzstan, which I suspected may hold the key. As part of a multidisciplinary team co-led by Maria Spyrou at the University of Tubingen, we have now investigated several specimens from individuals buried at that site and come up with an answer. The idea that the Black Death originated in the east—territories overlapping, roughly speaking, Central Asia, Mongolia, and China—dates back to the contemporaries of the pandemic in Europe and the Islamic world. The modern, academic Chinese origin theory dates back at least to 1756–8, and a publication about the history of Central Asia by French scholar Joseph de Guignes.
Which of the following may be the probable origin of the Black Death, according to the passage?
Option 1: Kyrgyzstan
Option 2: India
Option 3: Mongolia
Option 4: China
Correct Answer: Kyrgyzstan
Solution : The first option is correct.
The probable origin of the Black Death, according to the passage, is Kyrgyzstan. The passage mentions the discovery of an intriguing medieval cemetery in Kara-Djigach, Chüy Valley, northern Kyrgyzstan, in 2017. The speaker suspected that this site may hold

Question : Sukhen purchased some perishable items for sale, but 15% of those items could not be sold and went bad. However, Sukhen managed to sell the rest of the items at a price that helped him earn an overall profit of 19%. At what percentage above the cost price of each item did Sukhen sell each of the items that did not go bad?
Option 1: 40%
Option 2: 42%
Option 3: 34%
Option 4: 36%
Correct Answer: 40%
Solution : Let the cost of one item be Re. 1. $\therefore$ Cost of 100 items will be Rs. 100. As 15% of the items went bad, Remaining items = 100 – 15 = 85 Overall profit = 19% ⇒ Selling price $= \frac{\text{Cost price}\times \text{Profit}\%}{100}+\text{Cost price}$
Question : Walking at the rate of 4 km/hr, a man covers a certain distance in 3 hours 45 minutes. If he covers the same distance on a cycle, cycling at the rate of 16.5 km/hr, the time taken by him is:
Option 1: 55.45 minutes
Option 2: 54.55 minutes
Option 3: 55.44 minutes
Option 4: 45.55 minutes
Correct Answer: 54.55 minutes
Solution : Speed = 4 km/hr Time taken = 3 hr 45 min = $\frac{15}{4}$ hr So, the distance = Speed × Time = $4×\frac{15}{4}$ = 15 km New speed = 16.5 km/hr $\therefore$ Time taken at 16.5 km/hr = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$ = $\frac{15}{16.5}$ = 0.9091 hr
