From Chennai to Himachal Pradesh, the new culture vultures are tearing down acres of India’s
architectural treasures. Ancestral owners are often fobbed off with a few hundred rupees for an
exquisitely carved door or window, which fetches fifty times that much from foreign dealers, and yet

activist disunity and the local indifference.

If the price of rice increases by 30%, then by what percent should its consumption be decreased so that
the total expenditure remains same?
In order to keep the expenditure same , the decreased consumption equals 30/100+30*100=

300/13 is answer.

If in the same question price of rice is decreased then, you have to increase the consumption in order to
keep the expenditure same. In this case, the answer is calculated as 30/100–30*100 that is 300/7 %

Shobhit bought 300 litres of milk at rs.19 per litre. he added 200 litres of water to it and sold 400 litres of
this milk at rs.20 per litre. to the rest, he added 10 litres more water and then sold it for rs.15 per litre. if
he used mineral water that costs rs.10 per litre, then the total money earned by shobhit is?

Shobhit bought litres = 500

He sold = 400 litres

He sold litres and it's cost is rs.20 per litre = 200

It's cost is 2000

He sold litres and it's cost is rs.15 per litre = 100

It's cost is 1500

He sold litres and it's cost is rs.10 per litre = 100

It's cost is 1000

Total sold = 2000 + 1500 + 1000

= 4500

A) 38 B) 39

C) 40 D) 41

Answer: C) 40
Explanation:

Given M.P=45,S.P=42, Profit = 0.05

Let C.P=x , Then

Profit = (42-x)/x = 0.05

=> x = 40.

An air conditioner can cool the hall in 40 minutes while another takes 45 minutes to cool under similar
conditions. If both air conditioners are switched on at same instance, then how long will it take to cool
the room?

A] About 22 minutes B] About 20 minutes

C] About 30 minutes D] About 25 minutes

ANSWER:

Find the cost price of the 1 clip:

12 clips = Rs 60

1 clip = 60 ÷ 12 = Rs 5

Find the profit of 1 clip:

20% profit = 0.2 x 5 = Rs 1

Find the selling price of 1 clip:

Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit

Selling Price = 5 + 1 = Rs 6

Find the number of clips to sell for Rs 60:

Number of clips = 60 ÷ 6 = 10

Answer: The vendor needs to sell 10 clips for the price of Rs 60

PASSAGE

A fundamental principle of pharmacology is that all drugs have multiple actions. Actions that are
desirable in the treatment of disease are considered therapeutic, while those that are undesirable or
pose risks to the patient are called “effects.” Adverse drug effects range from the trivial, e.g., nausea or
dry mouth, to the serious,

1. The author is primarily concerned with discussing:

the importance of having accurate information about the effects of drugs
methods for testing the effects of new drugs on humans
procedures for determining the long-term effects of new drugs
attempts to curb the abuse of prescription drugs

Ans: A

2. The author implies that a drug with adverse side effects:

will not be approved for use by consumers without a doctor’s prescription
must wait for approval until lengthy studies prove the effects are not permanent
should be used only if its therapeutic value outweighs its adverse effects
should be withdrawn from the marketplace pending a government investigation

Ans : C

3. Which of the following can be inferred from the given passage?

A centralized drug oversight function would improve public health.
Most physicians are not aware that prescription drugs have side effects.
Some rare adverse drug effects are not discovered during the limited testing.
Consumers are seldom unable to understand directions for proper use of a drug.
Ans : C

4. The author introduces the example of thalidomide to show that some:

drug testing procedures are ignored by careless laboratory workers
drugs do not have the same actions in humans that they do in animals
drugs have no therapeutic value for humans
drugs are prescribed by physicians who have not read the manufacturer’s recommendations

Answer: Option B

5. The author of the passage regards current drug investigation procedures as:
important but generally ineffectual
lackadaisical and generally in need of improvement
comprehensive but generally unnecessary
necessary and generally effective

improve drug testing procedures to detect dangerous effects before drugs are approved

Ans: C

7. The author relies on which of the following in developing the passage?

Examples
Statistics
Analogy
Rhetorical questions

Ans: A

PASSAGE:

In response to the increasing environmental damage wrought by poachers, authorities placed a ban on
ivory in the 1980s. Although the ban resulted in an initial decrease in the sale and trade of illegal ivory
and a concurrent increase in the elephant population, more pressing needs caused most Western
nations to withdraw funding for poaching prevention programs

1. The passage suggests which of the following about the ivory ban?
It will be successful now that the DNA-based map has been developed.
It has been mostly unsuccessful in reducing the trade of illegal ivory.
It will continue to be ineffective unless the problems of political corruption are solved.
Western monetary support was a major factor in its success.

Ans: D

2. The response of the countries with the worst poaching problems to the situation was most
analogous to:
a tax evader who uses deceptive accounting practices to hide her income from auditors
an embezzler who steals from her company by pilfering small amounts of money over a long
period of time
a criminal who argues that it is not he but one of his accomplices who is guilty of a crime
a con artist who convinces his victim that it is in the victim’s best interest to help him

Ans: C

3. The passage suggests which of the following about the DNA-based map created by zoologists?
Its assemblage involved a great deal of work on the part of the researchers.
Its creation will force countries to accept responsibility for the ivory poached from within their
borders.
The map is able to pinpoint the exact elephant from which poached ivory was obtained.
It must be updated constantly to account for changes in elephant populations.

Ans: A

4. The passage is chiefly concerned with:

provide a concrete illustration of an economic principle
discuss the types of goods available during Adam Smith’s time
evaluate an example used in Smith’s Wealth of Nations
show that all trade is based on specialization

Ans: C

3. The author most probably uses the word “startling” in reference to the Law of Comparative
Advantage because:
it is puzzling that no one before Adam Smith thought of the Law
the Law of Comparative Advantage holds even when there is an imbalance in the capabilities of
the nations
it is surprising that the general public is unaware of the Law of Comparative Advantage
most countries do not consider the Law of Comparative Advantage when devising their trade
policies
