✅ Answers & Explanations
Question 1
Option C is the correct answer.
Conclusion I: This conclusion is likely, as flooding typically prompts government action to help those affected.
Conclusion II: This conclusion is also plausible, especially if the flooding is severe enough to pose immediate danger to residents.
In this case, both conclusions could logically follow from the statement, making Option C the correct answer.
Question 2
Let us first find the number of days between the birthdays.
From 26th April to 27th July:
Remaining days in April = 4
May = 31
June = 30
July = 27
Total days:
4+31+30+27=924 + 31 + 30 + 27 = 924+31+30+27=9292=13×7+192 = 13 \times 7 + 192=13×7+1
So, there are 13 complete weeks and 1 odd day between the two birthdays.
Since 27th July (Raina) is Thursday, 26th April (Sameer) is one day earlier, i.e., Wednesday.
Correct Answer: Wednesday ✅
Question 3
We subtract the given time from 12:00 (or 11:60 when minutes are involved) to get the mirror image time.
Mirror image of 03:00:
12:00−03:00=09:0012:00 - 03:00 = 09:0012:00−03:00=09:00
Correct Answer: 09:00 ✅
Question 4
The argument places the responsibility for a store’s sales on the manager of the store. This assumes that it is the manager who can solely affect the sales.
Assumption 1:
If this statement holds true, it would mean that only the manager’s performance is a factor in the store’s sales. The other employees can perform well or badly without impacting sales.
On the other hand, negating the assumption implies that the performance of other employees is also a factor in the store's sales; in that case, the credit given only to the manager is invalid, and the argument falls apart. Therefore, Assumption 1 is implicit.
Assumption 2:
If this statement is true, then it would give an equal basis for comparing both stores, since they are operating for the same amount of time. Otherwise, differences in operating time could explain the difference in sales rather than managerial performance.
If the stores are open for different durations, the store with lower sales may simply have had fewer opportunities to sell. Therefore, Assumption 2 is also implicit.
Both the assumptions are implicit.
Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.
Question 5
Mercedes has more features than Alto, and Alto has more features than Fiat. BMW has more features than Nano. Fiat is in third place because it has 2 features more than the car with the least number of features.
Therefore,
Mercedes > Alto > Fiat > BMW > Nano
Since Mercedes doesn’t have good color, it has only 4 features.
Hence:
Mercedes = 4
Alto = 3
Fiat = 2
BMW = 1
Nano = 0
So, one of the five features is not present in any car.
It is known that:
Mercedes (4): Good space, steering, brakes and price.
Fiat (2): Good space and steering.
Alto (3): Good brakes.
From this:
Brakes = 2 cars
Space = 2 cars
Steering = 2 cars
Price = 1 car
Color = 0 cars
Since price is already present in Mercedes, Alto cannot have price. Hence, Alto must have brakes, space and steering.
Now:
Color = 0
Price = 1
Brakes = 2
Space = 3
Steering = 3
To determine the exact combination of car features, we need either Statement 1 or Statement 2.
Therefore, Option C (Only 1 or Only 2) is the correct answer.
Question 6
Answer: 2. mastery, wealth
Explanation:
The professor is described as being highly respected for his deep knowledge of ancient literature, and students hoped to learn from the vast knowledge he had accumulated.
ignorance, burden ❌ – Opposite of the context.
mastery, wealth ✅ – "Mastery of ancient literature" and "wealth of knowledge" are the most appropriate collocations.
hatred, fragments ❌ – Does not fit the positive context.
awareness, plethora ❌ – "Awareness" is too weak; "plethora of knowledge" is less natural than "wealth of knowledge."
Correct Answer: mastery, wealth ✅
Question 7
Answer: 4. The professor asked the student why he had been absent the previous day.
Explanation:
The sentence is an interrogative in the simple past.
Rules:
said to → asked
were → had been (backshift)
yesterday → the previous day
Question form changes to statement form.
Option 1 ❌ – "Enquired the student" is grammatically incorrect; it should be "enquired of the student."
Option 2 ❌ – "Yesterday" should change to "the previous day."
Option 3 ❌ – Changes the meaning completely.
Option 4 ✅ – Correct indirect speech.
Correct Answer: Option 4 ✅
Question 8
Answer: 2. along
Explanation:
The correct idiom is "get along well", which means to have a friendly and harmonious relationship.
off ❌ – Incorrect expression.
along ✅ – Correct idiomatic usage.
together ❌ – Does not fit the phrase.
in ❌ – Incorrect collocation.
Correct Answer: along ✅
Question 9
Answer: 1. along with
Explanation:
The sentence means that humans learn through trial and error together with experiences, abstract thought, and deduction.
along with ✅ – Means "in addition to," fitting the context perfectly.
through ❌ – Would make the sentence awkward: "through incorporating experiences."
although ❌ – Indicates contrast, which is not intended.
around ❌ – Does not fit grammatically.
Correct Sentence:
Human beings learn using a trial and error process along with incorporating experiences, abstract thought and deduction.
Correct Answer: along with ✅
Question 10
Answer: 2. (b)
Explanation:
The error is in (b):
Since "sets" is plural, experience should also be plural.
The correct phrase is:
diverse sets of experiences
(a) ❌ – Grammatically correct.
(b) ✅ – Error: "experience" should be experiences.
(c) ❌ – Grammatically correct.
(d) ❌ – Grammatically acceptable in the given context.
Correct Answer: (b) ✅
