swung.

11. b. The verb are agrees with the plural noun

14. a. Correct as is. There are two possible

errors in this sentence: One is subject/verb

agreement and the other is the use of the

words between and among. Between is used

subject relationship is singular, the verb to

choice c, the series changes construction,

participle verb before it. It breaks the

parallelism. In choice e, none of the three

elements are parallel.

coordinated pair; they need to abide by one

grammatical construction. Only in choice b

are both verbs in their infinitive form.

17. c. In choice c, the tense of to ring and to

write

agree; there is no shift in tense.

18. d. Choice d is best because it is written in

the

active voice.

one in which all four elements use the same

grammatical construction, a verb in the

Then, x+9 = 56/100(x + 9 +x)

=> 25(x+9)= 14 (2x + 9)

=> 3x = 99

=> x = 33.

So, their marks are 42 and 33

45. Two trains are running at 40 km/hr and 20

km/hr respectively in the same direction. Fast

train completely passes a man sitting in the

slower train in 5 seconds. What is the length of

the fast train ?

27 7/9

28 7/9

29 7/9

30 7/9

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

As Trains are moving in same direction,

So, Relative Speed = 40-20 = 20 kmph

= 20*(5/18) = 50/9 m/sec

Length of Train= Speed * Time

Length=50/9 ∗5

=250/9 =27 7/9

46. A man can row upstream 10 kmph and

downstream 20 kmph. Find the man rate in

still water and rate of the stream.

1. 0,5

5,5

15,5

10,5

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Please remember,

If a is rate downstream and b is rate upstream

Rate in still water = 1/2(a+b)

Rate of current = 1/2(a-b)

=> Rate in still water = 1/2(20+10) = 15 kmph

=> Rate of current = 1/2(20-10) = 5 kmph

47. A man rows 750 m in 675 seconds against

the stream and returns in 7 and half minutes.

His rowing speed in still water is

4 kmph

5 kmph

6 kmph

7 kmph

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Rate upstream = (750/675) = 10/9 m/sec

Rate downstream (750/450) m/sec = 5/3 m/sec

Rate in still water = (1/2)*[(10/9) + (5/3)] m/sec.

= 25/18 m/sec

= (25/18)*(18/5) kmph

= 5 kmph

48. Find the simple interest on the Rs. 2000 at

25/4% per annum for the period from 4th Feb

2005 to 18th April 2005

Rs 25

Rs 30

Rs 35

Rs 40

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

One thing which is tricky in this question is to

calculate the number of days.

Always remember that the day on which money

is deposited is not counted while the day on

which money is withdrawn is counted.

So lets calculate the number of days now,

Time = (24+31+18) days = 73/365 years = 1/5

years

P = 2000

R = 25/4%

S.I. = =2000×25/(4×5×100 )

=25

49. A sum of Rs 12,500 amounts to Rs. 15,500

in the 4 years at the rate of simple interest.

Find the rate percent

6 %

7 %

8 %

9 %

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

S.I.=(P∗R∗T)/100

=>R=S.I.∗100/(P∗T)

So, S.I = 15500 – 12500 = 3000.

=>R=3000∗100/(12500∗4 )=6%

50. What is the present worth of Rs. 132 due in

2 years at 5% simple interest per annum

110

120

130

140

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the present worth be Rs.x

Then,S.I.= Rs.(132 – x)

=› (x*5*2/100) = 132 – x

=› 10x = 13200 – 100x

=› 110x = 13200

x= 120
