Question No. : 1
Financial historians disagree as to how far the growth of banking after the seventeenth century can be credited with the
acceleration of economic growth that began in Britain in the late eighteenth century and then spread to Western Europe and
Europe's offshoots of large-scale settlement in North America and Australasia. It may in fact be futile to seek a simplistic causal
relationship. It seems perfectly plausible that the two processes were interdependent and self-reinforcing. Both processes also
exhibited a distinctly evolutionary character, with recurrent mutation, speciation and punctuated equilibrium.

A decisive difference between natural evolution and financial evolution is the role of what might be called 'intelligent design' "
though in this case the regulators are invariably human, rather than divine. Gradually, by a protracted process of trial and error,
the Bank of England developed public functions, in return for the reaffirmation of its monopoly on note issue in 1826, establishing
branches in the provinces and gradually taking over the country banks' note-issuing business. Increasingly, the Bank also came to
play a pivotal role in inter-bank transactions.

In the 1840s the position of the Governor, J. Horsley Palmer, was that the reserve should essentially be regulated by the volume
of discounting business, so long as one third of it consisted of gold coin or bullion. The Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel, was
suspicious of this arrangement, believing that it ran the risk of excessive banknote creation and inflation. Peel's 1844 Bank Charter
Act divided the Bank in two: a banking department, which would carry on the Bank's own commercial business, and an issue
department, endowed with 14 million of securities and an unspecified amount of coin and bullion which would fluctuate
according to the balance of trade between Britain and the rest of the world.

Economic theorists of the nineteenth century were not able to challenge the sacred principle that a pound sterling should be
convertible into a fixed and immutable quantity of gold according to the rate of 3 17s 10.5d per ounce of gold. Had that principle
been adhered to, and had the money supply of the British economy genuinely hinged on the quantity of gold coin and bullion in
the Bank of England's reserve, the growth of the UK economy would have been altogether choked off, even allowing for the
expansionary effects of new gold discoveries in the nineteenth century.

Although there was variation, most advanced economies essentially followed the British lead when it came to regulation through a
monopolistic central bank operating the gold standard, and concentration of deposit-taking in a relatively few large institutions. In
Britain, as on the Continent, there were marked tendencies towards concentration, exemplified by the decline in the number of
country banks from a peak of 755 in 1809 to just seventeen in 1913.

Excerpted from "The Ascent of Money" by Niall Fergusson.
Why does the author consider it futile to seek a causal relationship between the industrial revolution and establishment of
banking?
A)They were two independent happenings, which coincidentally happened around the same time and place.
B)Banking and industry were both daughters of innovation, which can be viewed to be the common cause
C)There is no certainty about which of the two, banking or industry, was the cause, and which was the effect.
D)None of these.
Explanation:-

Option C is the answer.
In the beginning of the passage, the author states that some financial historians disagree that the growth of banking led to economic growth. The author
feels that It may be futile to seek a simplistic causal relationship. In fact he thinks that banking and economic growth may have complemented each other.
So it is difficult to decide which is the cause and which is the effect.

A- It is stated in the first paragraph that both were interdependent

B- Is not implied anywhere in the passage
Question No. : 2





In the simile that the author uses between industrialization and evolution, all of the following can be the analogues of evolutionary
behaviors by companies, except
A)Technical innovation. B)The creation of new kinds of firms.

C)The changing legal and political environment of the countries in the nineteenth century.
D)Crisis which would determine which firms would survive and which would die out.
Explanation:-
Option C
We are looking at evolutionary behavior of companies - so some kind of parallels about how businesses changed to adjust to
changing environments, survive and grow. 3 talks only of the environment, not the behavior of the firms themselves.

A - Innovation can be compared to how a species picks up new tricks and trains its offspring to use them. For example the use of
tools by monkeys etc.

B - Creation of new kind of firms is similar to creation of new species

D - Is a basic tenet of 'the survival of the fittest'

Which of the following would represent a statement made by a typical Victorian era nineteenth century economist about the gold
standard?
A)"Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences are usually the slaves of the gold
standard."
B) "Paper notes are money because they are representations of Metallic Money. Unless so, they are false and spurious
pretenders."
C)"Precious metal and deposits are interchangeable forms of money. Why worry about which is worth how much."
D)"The problem with the gold standard is that it pretends to know the price of everything, but knows the value of nothing."
Explanation:-
Option B
The passage states that economic theorists of the nineteenth century were not able to challenge the sacred principle that a pound sterling should be
convertible into a fixed and immutable quantity of gold. It further states that if this had been adhered to then the growth of UK economy would not have been
possible. Thus according to these economists paper money was valueless unless it was a representative of the gold it was valued at.

A - Is derisive of the gold standard

C - Is neutral about the gold standard

D - goes against the gold standard

People of African descent who found themselves enslaved in the New World, and specifically on United States soil, were not
brought to the West to create poems, plays, short stories, essays, and novels. They were brought for the bodies, their physical

labor. Denied access to literacy by law and custom, anything they wanted to retain in the way of cultural creation had to be passed
down by word of mouth, or, in terms of crafts, by demonstration and imitation. After long hours of work in cotton and tobacco
fields, therefore, blacks would occasionally gather in the evenings for storytelling. Tales they shared during slavery were initially
believed to focus almost exclusively on animals. However, as more and more researchers became interested in African American
culture after slavery and in the early twentieth century, they discovered a strand of tales that focused on human actors. It is
generally believed that enslaved persons did not share with prying researchers the tales containing human characters because the
protagonists were primarily tricksters, and the tales showcased actions that allowed those tricksters to get the best of their so-
called masters.
1. People of African descent, regaled their stories, sprinkling them with the deception of their masters, in order for more enslaved
persons to make use of them to lead a better life.
2. People of African descent, from their cultures, brought with them stories and poems which they narrated or recited to their
brethren so that they would remain in contact with their motherland.
3. African Americans, slaves brought to the New World for their physical capabilities and left illiterate, resorted to telling stories in
order to keep their culture alive - first about animals and then about characters that pulled the wool over the eyes of their
masters.
4. Strenuous work in the field forced the African Americans to devise ways and means of getting the better of their masters and
thus creating a life deprived of rigour.
A)3 B) C) D)
Explanation:- The paragraph talks about the why the African slaves were got to the new world and how though they were kept
illiterate, the slaves could only keep their culture alive by word of mouth. Moreover the tales were about the protagonists who
were tricksters who got the better of their masters, i.e. pulled the wool over their eyes

Question No. : 5
The history of each science, be it mathematics or astronomy, botany, zoology or geology, shows us that it is not enough to have
the intelligent observer, or even the interpretative thinker with his personally expressed doctrine. This must be clearly crystallised
into a definite statement, method, proposition, "law" or theory, stated in colourless impersonal form before it is capable of
acceptance and incorporation into the general body of science. But while astronomer and geologist and naturalist can and do
describe both the observational results and their general conceptions in literary form, requiring from the ordinary reader but the
patience to master a few unfamiliar terms and ideas, they also carry on their work by help of definite and orderly technical
methods, descriptive and comparative, analytic and synthetic. These, as far as possible, have to be crystallised beyond their mere
verbal statement into formulae, into tabular and graphic presentments, and thus not only acquire greater clearness of statement,
but also become more and more active agencies of inquiryin fact, become literalthinking-machines.
1.Each science requires its analytical method of observation in order to arrive at the correct set of conclusions
2.Each science needs parallel accompaniment of observation, interpretation and notation in order to achieve its desired objectives
3.Observation and interpretation are the driving forces for the delivery of a science as thinking machines
4.Subjects can only be converted into solidified thinking machines if they follow the right course of analysis
A)2 B) C) D)
Explanation:-
Statement 2 is the correct answer.
In order to identify the correct answer for this question, you need to understand the central gist of the paragraph, which is
essentially about one thing: it is not sufficient to for a science to only compose of observation and interpretation; it also needs a
systematic process where this information is put across to others. Keeping this in mind, we see that only option 2 covers all the
aspects.

1. But while technology education is extremely broad in scope, the central interest of technology educators is education in and
about technology, that is, how people teach, learn, and otherwise transmit technological knowledge and how people can learn to

3. While it may be philosophically sound to do contextualist history of technology education, practically it is difficult because of the
time required to assimilate the social context, technology, and educational practice of a given time period.

Question No. : 7
Last fall, Toby Young did something ironic. Toby is the son of Michael Young, the British sociologist and Labour life peer whose
1958 satire The Rise of the Meritocracy has been credited with coining the term. In September, he published an 8,000-word
reconsideration of his father's signature concept in an Australian monthly. The old man was right that meritocracy would
gradually create a stratified and immobile society, he wrote, but wrong that abolishing selective education was the cure. Unlike my
father, I'm not an egalitarian, Young wrote. If meritocracy creates a new caste system, the answer is more meritocracy. To restore
equality of opportunity, he suggested subsidies for intelligence-maximizing embryo selection for poor parents,with below-average
IQs. The irony lay in the implication that Young, because of who his father was, has special insight into the ideology that holds that
it shouldn't matter who your father is.

His outlandish resort to eugenics suggests that Toby Young found himself at a loss for solutions, as all modern critics of
meritocracy seem to do. The problems they describe are fundamental, but none of their remedies are more than tweaks to make
the system more efficient or less prejudicial to the poor. For instance, in Excellent Sheep, William Deresiewicz accuses the Ivy
League of imposing a malignant ruling class on the country, then meekly suggests that elite universities might solve the problem
by giving greater weight in admissions to socioeconomic disadvantage and less to resum-stuffing. In The Tyranny of the
Meritocracy, Lani Guinier belies the harsh terms of her title by advising that we simply learn to reward "democratic rather than
testocratic merit". Christopher Hayes subtitled his debut book Twilight of the Elites "America after Meritocracy", but the remedies
he prescribes are all meant to preserve meritocracy by making it more effective. In his latest book, Our Kids, Robert Putnam
proves that American social mobility is in crisis, then reposes his hopes in such predictable nostrums as housing vouchers and
universal pre-kindergarten.

When an author caps two hundred pages of rhetorical fire with fifteen pages of platitudes or utopian fantasy, that is called "the last
chapter problem". When every author who takes up a question finds himself equally at a loss, that is something else. In this case,
our authors fail as critics of meritocracy because they cannot get their heads outside of it. They are incapable of imagining what it
would be like not to believe in it. They assume the validity of the very thing they should be questioning.

Meritocracy began by destroying an aristocracy; it has ended in creating a new one. Nearly every book in the American anti-
meritocracy literature makes this charge, in what is usually its most empirically reinforced chapter. But the solutions on offer
never rise to the scale of the problem. Authors attack the meritocratic machine with screwdrivers, not sledgehammers, and differ
only in which valve they want to adjust. Some think the solution is to tip more disadvantaged kids over the lip of the intake funnel,
which would probably make things worse. If more people start competing for a finite number of slots, slim advantages like those
that come from having grown up with two meritocrats for parents will only loom larger. Others favor the slightly more radical
solution of redefining our idea of merit, usually in a way that downplays what Guinier calls "pseudoscientific measures of
excellence". She even has a replacement in mind, the Bial-Dale College Adaptability Index, the testing of which involves Legos.
(Why are you laughing? It is backed by a study.)

My solution is quite different. The meritocracy is hardening into an aristocracy"so let it. Every society in history has had an elite,
and what is an aristocracy but an elite that has put some care into making itself presentable? Allow the social forces that created
this aristocracy to continue their work, and embrace the label. By all means this caste should admit as many worthy newcomers as
is compatible with their sense of continuity. New brains, like new money, have been necessary to every ruling class, meritocratic or
not. If ethnic balance is important to meritocrats, they should engineer it into the system. If geographic diversity strikes them as
important, they should ensure that it exists, ideally while keeping an eye on the danger of hoovering up all of the native talent
from regional America. But they must give up any illusion that such tinkering will make them representative of the country over
which they preside. They are separate, parochial in their values, unique in their responsibilities. That is what makes them
aristocratic.
From the context of the passage, the meaning of the word 'meritocracy' can be derived to be:
5/66
15/05/2017 2017 Bull CAT 04
A)a society governed by people with well-established links and pedigree
B)a society governed by people selected according to certain performance based attributes.
C)a society owned by those in power and whose functions are selectively determined by these same individuals.
D)a society driven by individual motivations that are a function of individual human potential and calibre.
Explanation:- A meritocracy is defined as: a society governed by people selected according to merit.
In the given context, option 2 is closest to the given meaning.

What is ironic in Toby Young's solution for meritocracy?
A)he is countering the views of his own father. B)his suggestion counters the very system his family devised.
C)his insight is assumed significant irrespective its lack of logic.
D)he is speaking out against a position from the vantage point that was granted to him by the same system.
Explanation:- Refer to the lines: The irony lay in the implication that Young, because of who his father was, has special insight

into the ideology that holds that it shouldn't matter who your father is.
Why is Toby Young making the suggestion he is? Because he is the son of Michael Young. He is the product of meritocracy and yet,
he is suggesting against the same. This is the irony being pointed out in the given case.

The one of the author of the passage can be said to be:
A)prejudiced as well as thoughtful B)unbiased as well as insightful C)objective as well as subjective

D)critical as well as analytical
Explanation:- In the given passage, the author of the passage adopts a critical approach with regards to other authors and
researchers, especially with respect to their views on Meritocracy. He then goes on to provide his own analysis and solution for the
same problem. This approach of the author is best represented by option 4.

According to the author of the passage, "the last chapter problem" implies:
A)that the author has probably suggested a solution that is practically not feasible.
B)that the author has probably indulged in bromides that actually don't account for much. C)both (1) and (2)
D)neither (1) nor (2)
Explanation:- Refer to the lines: When an author caps two hundred pages of rhetorical fire with fifteen pages of platitudes or
utopian fantasy, that is called "the last chapter problem".
Utopia refers to an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect.
Bromides means platitudes (which, in turn, means a trite or obvious remark).
Using this information, we can see that option 3 is the correct answer.

According to the author of the passage:
I. the solutions posed the problems of meritocracy primarily suggest with tinkering with the system rather than abolishing it.
II. the solutions for the problems posed by meritocracy are not just not strong enough to question the very validity of the system
and break its very foundations.
III. solutions for meritocracy, such as the one that involve re-defining merit, miss the mark by making suggestions that are
laughable in themselves.
A)I & II B)II & III C)I & III D)All of the above
Explanation:- Each of the statements can be derived from the lines: But the solutions on offer never rise to the scale of the
problem. Authors attack the meritocratic machine with screwdrivers, not sledgehammers, and differ only in which valve they want
to adjust.......Others favor the slightly more radical solution of redefining our idea of merit, usually in a way that downplays what

aristocratic.
The author of the passage seems to suggest:
A)we should replace meritocracy with aristocracy.

B)we accept meritocracy as a form of aristocracy and learn to live with it.
C)we should replace meritocracy with aristocracy and stop tinkering with it. D)All of the above
Explanation:- In the given case, the author of the passage simply recommends that we accept the transition of meritocracy into
an aristocracy of a certain kind. He believes that system can be accepted and improved upon. Also, we should stop trying to
assume that meritocracy can become the default norm for all and become all-inclusive.

The fact is, Naipaul provides powerful ammunition for all sides of the debate. Were Naipaul simply a monster, he (and his writing)
would not be so compelling. Revealing himself to be a monster in one instance, he will use that very quality to his own advantage
in the next. This protean quality makes Naipaul larger, as a character, a novelist, and a thinker, than any of the categories meant to
encompass him. Those, for instance, who want to dismiss Naipaul for what Wood calls his conservatism, find themselves, more
often than not, moved by his radical eyesight. And vice versa. Inevitably, to read Naipaul is to experience a rather exciting
push/pull of attraction and repulsion. You can see this even in the short quote from Packers review of the French biography
above. Naipaul describes extremely ugly behavior. Further, he seems to take narcissistic pleasure (the word narcissism comes up
often in discussions of Naipaul) in doing so. But he ends with a thought that is sensitive and vulnerable. I was utterly helpless. I
have enormous sympathy for people who do strange things out of passion. By turning his sympathy around, he elicits it from us.
1. The monstrous qualities of Naipaul make him hard to bear and despite this, the brilliance of his work shines through
2. Naipaul, as we know him through his work, characters, thoughts and novels, is but a limited narrative of much larger life which
can enthrall anyone as soon as one comes in contact with it

This is a paragraph about Naipaul and the conflicting nature of his. The paragraph goes on to explain that he is a protean

sentiment is best expressed by option 4, which is the only which captures all the aspects of the paragraph.
Option 1 only emphasizes his work.
Option 2 is convoluted and simply picks on a phrase from the paragraph but does not actually convey the actual essence of the

Option 3 makes a comparison between Naipaul the person and the novelist whereas no such comparison is made in the

Question No. : 16
Where is your mind? Where does your thinking occur? Where are your beliefs? Ren, Descartes thought that the mind was an
immaterial soul, housed in the pineal gland near the centre of the brain. Nowadays, by contrast, we tend to identify the mind with
the brain. We know that mental processes depend on brain processes, and that different brain regions are responsible for different
functions. However, we still agree with Descartes on one thing: we still think of the mind as brainbound, locked away in the head,
communicating with the body and wider world but separate from them. And this might be quite wrong. I'm not suggesting that
the mind is non-physical or doubting that the brain is central to it; but it could be that the mind extends beyond the brain.

To begin with, there is a strong case for thinking that many mental processes are essentially embodied. The brainbound view
pictures the brain as a powerful executive, planning every aspect of behaviour and sending detailed instructions to the muscles.
But, as work in robotics has illustrated, there are more efficient ways of doing things, which nature almost certainly employs. The
more biologically realistic robots perform basic patterns of movement naturally, in virtue of their passive dynamics, without the
use of motors and controllers. Intelligent, powered control is then achieved by continuously monitoring and tweaking these bodily
processes, sharing the control task between brain and body. Similarly, rather than passively gathering information to construct a
detailed internal model of the external world, it is more efficient for the control system to keep actively probing the world,
gathering just enough information at each step to advance the task at hand. Such a strategy relies essentially on body activity.

As well as being embodied, mental processes can also be extended to incorporate external artefacts. Clark proposes what's since
been called the Parity Principle, which says that if an external artefact performs a function that we would regard as mental if it
occurred within the head, then the artefact is genuinely part of the user's mind. To illustrate this, Clark and Chalmers describe two
people each trying to work out where various shapes fit in a puzzle. One does it in his head, forming and rotating mental images
of the shapes, the other by pressing a button to rotate shapes on a screen. Since the first process counts as mental, the second
should too, Clark and Chalmers argue. What matters is what the object does, not where it is located. The rationale is the same as
that for identifying the mind with the brain rather than the soul; the mind is whatever performs mental functions.

The Parity Principle doesn't apply only to processes we can in fact perform in our heads. Think about doing a long division with
pen and paper. Few of us can do this in our heads, holding all the stages in memory, but if we could, we would certainly regard it
as a mental process, so " applying the Parity Principle " we should regard the pen-and-paper process as a mental one, too. An
extension can also be an enhancement.

Language is a particularly powerful means of extension and enhancement, serving, in Clark's phrase, as scaffolding that allows the
biological brain to achieve things it could not do on its own. Linguistic symbols provide new focuses of attention, enabling us to
track features of the world we would otherwise have missed, and structured sentences highlight logical and semantic relations,
allowing us to develop new, more abstract reasoning procedures. With pen or laptop, we can construct extended patterns of
thought and reasoning that we could never formulate with our bare brains. In writing, we are not simply recording our thinking
but doing the thinking. (As the physicist Richard Feynman once observed: I actually did the work on the paper.)
According to the author of the passage:
A)while writing, it is the process of writing which enables thinking in the brain.
B)during the process of writing, the act of writing itself contributes to the thinking of the mind.
C)during the process of writing, the act of writing is inconsequential as the mind is the one responsible for the complete
process.
D)none of the above
Explanation:- The answer to this question can be derived from the lines: With pen or laptop, we can construct extended patterns
of thought and reasoning that we could never formulate with our bare brains. In writing, we are not simply recording our thinking
Remember, we can say that writing contributes to thinking but we cannot use the extreme sentiment presented in option 1, which
implies that writing leads to thinking.

Explanation:- Refer to the lines: As well as being embodied, mental processes can also be extended to incorporate external
artefacts. Clark and fellow philosopher of mind David Chalmers propose what's since been called the Parity Principle, which says
that if an external artefact performs a function that we would regard as mental if it occurred within the head, then the artefact is
(for the time being) genuinely part of the user's mind.
Remember, anything that can be done within the head without actually using the physical means falls in line with this principle. In
fact, these two examples are simply a continuation of the puzzle example provided in the passage.

Identify the statements that are incorrect as per the information given in the passage.
I. The brain employs the most efficient way of doing things and bodily functions cannot be of assistance in the same.
II. The role of external artefacts in mental processes is limited.
III. Language is a powerful means of extending the functions of the brain.
A)I & II B)II & III C)I & III D)All of the above
Explanation:- Remember, the last question stated 'not incorrect'. This question states 'incorrect'. Keep this in mind while
answering the question.

Statement I is incorrect. Refer to the lines: The brainbound view pictures the brain as a powerful executive, planning every aspect
of behaviour and sending detailed instructions to the muscles. But, as work in robotics has illustrated, there are more efficient ways
of doing things, which nature almost certainly employs.

Statement II is incorrect. Refer to the lines: As well as being embodied, mental processes can also be extended to incorporate
external artefacts.

Statement III is correct. Refer to the lines: Language is a particularly powerful means of extension and enhancement, serving, in
Clark's phrase, as scaffolding that allows the biological brain to achieve things it could not do on its own.

An apt title for the passage is:
A)The mind transcends the body to encompass all B)The mind and the body are nothing but one
C)The mind is a device locked in the brain but acting through the body
D)The mind isn't locked in the brain but extends far beyond it
Explanation:- For title questions, the most important thing is to identify the central idea of the passage. The passage in this case
clearly points out that the mind is not something that is limited to the brain but other our physical functions also contribute to it.
Keeping this sentiment in mind, we can see that option 4 is the best answer in the given case.
Option 1 is outside the scope of the passage.
Option 2 is too extreme in the given case. The author does not say that the mind and the body are the same.
Option 3 is incorrect as the author clearly states that we cannot treat the mind as something locked in the brain.

Pretentiousness is always someone else's crime. It's never a felony in the first person. You might cop to the odd personality flaw;
the occasional pirouette of self-deprecation is nothing if not good manners. Most likely one of those imperfections nobody minds
owning up to, something that looks charming in the right circumstances. Being absent-minded. A bad dancer. Partial to a large gin
after work. But being pretentious? That's premier-league obnoxious, the team-mate of arrogance, condescension, careerism and
pomposity. Pretension brunches with fraudulence and snobbery, and shops for baubles with the pseudo and the vacuous.
Whatever it is you do, I'll bet you'd never think it pretentious. That's because you do it, and pretension never self-identifies.
Pretentiousness happens over there. In the way he writes. In her music taste. In the way they dress. And who hasn't before
described a person, place or thing as pretentious?
1) Pretentiousness is something that urges for tacit approval but only conjures non-compliant snobbery
2) Pretentiousness is something that signifies inner hollowness but on the public side helps maintain a facade of cheerfulness and
glee
3) Pretentiousness is something that escapes the lens of self-scrutiny but is easy to use as tool to depreciate others
4) Pretentiousness is something that is built on vacuous precepts of low self-esteem that help in poking holes in the personalities
of others
(write the answer key)
A)3 B) C) D)
Explanation:-
This is a tough question and one that you should avoid to solve in the first attempt. The language of the question stem as well as
the options will pose a severe challenge while attempting this question under time pressure. On close observation, you will see that
option 3 is the only that comes close to the main idea of the paragraph.
In this paragraph, the last three lines are pivotal to understand the paragraph meaning: Pretentiousness is always someone else's
crime. It's never a felony in the first person....Pretentiousness happens over there. In the way he writes. In her music taste. In the
way they dress. And who hasn't before described a person, place or thing as pretentious?
In this case, the author wishes to communicate that pretentiousness is something that we allege is present in others but we don't
acknowledge our own.

1. We shall find, if I am not mistaken, that there are no facts which refute the hypothesis of mental continuity, and that, on the
other hand, this hypothesis affords a useful test of suggested theories as to the nature of mind.
2. In attempting to understand the elements out of which mental phenomena are compounded, it is of the greatest importance to
remember that from the protozoa to man, there is nowhere a very wide gap either structurally or behaviorally.
3. It is highly probable that there is also nowhere a very wide mental gap.
4. But the hypothesis of continuity in mental development is clearly preferable, if no psychological facts make it impossible.
5. It is, of course, possible that there may have been, at certain evolutionary stages, elements which were nascent from an

The growing science of reading has no ready-made formulas, but it does offer a few suggestions. The punch line is quite simple:
we know that conversion of letters into sounds is the key stage in reading acquisition. All teaching efforts should be initially
focused on a single goal, the grasp of the alphabetic principle whereby each letter or grapheme represents a phoneme.

In kindergarten, very simple games can prepare children for reading acquisition. At the phonological level, preschoolers benefit
from playing with words and their component sounds (syllables, rhymes, and finally phonemes). At the visual level, they can learn
to recognize and identify letter shapes.

After this preparatory stage, children must be taught, without fear of repetition, how each letter or group of letters corresponds to
a phoneme. It must be explicitly told that each speech sound can be represented in different "clothes" (letters or groups of letters)
and that each letter can be pronounced in one of several ways. Their presentation must start with the simplest and most frequent
ones that are almost always pronounced in the same way, such as "t:' "k:' and "a." Less frequent graphemes ("b:'m:T'),
irregular ones ("i:o"), or complex ones ("un:'ch:'ough") can be introduced gradually. Children's attention must be drawn to
the presence of these individual elements within familiar words.
Children must know that reading is not simply mumbling a few syllablesit requires understanding what is written. Each reading
period should end with reading words or sentences that can be easily understood and that the child can repeat, summarize, or
paraphrase.

I once tried out reading software that was supposedly "award-winning where the very first word introduced to the beginning
reader was the French word oignon, pronounced onion almost as in Englishprobably the most irregular spelling in the French
language! Stressing what parents and teachers should not do is equally important. To trace the global contours of words is
useless.

Because of the essential need to avoid distracting the child's attention from the letter level, I am wary of the many richly decorated
reading manuals that contain more illustrations than text. Word posters displayed in classrooms all through the school year, with
the same words appearing at the same place, can also create problems. Some children, often the most gifted, merely memorize
the fixed position of each word and the general layout of the page and no longer attend to the actual letters in the individual
words. A return to sober texts, written on a blackboard during class (so that gesture is also memorized) might be beneficial. It
might also be worthwhile to remind the child that although reading is hard work, it has its own inherent reward in the decoding
and understanding of text.

Going too fast can also be a handicap. At each step, the words and sentences introduced in class must only include graphemes and
phonemes that have already been explicitly taught

As expert reading adults, we systematically underestimate how difficult it is to read. The words given to beginning readers must be
analyzed letter by letter in order to ensure that they do not contain spelling problems that are beyond the child's current
knowledge for instance, unusual pronunciations, silent letters, double consonants, or peculiar endings such as the suffix "-tion."
Finally, guardians of children with reading problems should not give in to despondency. Reading difficulty varies across countries
and cultures, and English has probably the most difficult of all alphabetic writing systems. Its spelling system is by far the most
opaque each individual letter call be pronounced in umpteen different ways, and exceptions abound.

1. On the erudite side, Said's claim that the Orientalists "essentialized" the Orient, is itself exposed as an argument dependent on
an "essentialized" portrayal of the West.
2. In adducing evidence for his arguments, the author proves versatile, equally at home summarizing the latest academic arcana,
describing the pleasures of Orientalist paintings, and quoting comments left by a tourist in the guest book of a museum exhibiting
Orientalist art work.
3. On the commonsensical side, there are many outstanding passages: My favorite comes in Chapter 12 where Ibn Warraq neatly
dismantles the arguments of Linda Nochlin, a Saidist of some note.
4. The passages range from the erudite to the commonsensical in their relevance, depth and treatment.
5. Discussing the paintings of Jan-Lon Germe, Nochlin claims that the absence of a Western colonial presence in the scenes
comprises an attempt to hide the historical reality of that presence, presumably in the furtherance of some vaguely imperialist
agenda.
A)24135 B) C) D)
Explanation:-
Line 2 speaks of the tourists comments, the passages of which are referred to in line 4 (2-4). Line 1 forms a logical continuation
with line 4, given that it exposes the truth of Saids views on Orientalism. Line 3 offers a contrasting view in conjunction with line 4
(2-4-1-3).Nochlin finds an introductory mention in line 3, an idea further explained in detail in line 5. Hence the final sequence is

Question No. : 29
DISMAL may not be the most desirable of modifiers, but economists love it when people call their discipline a science. They
consider themselves the most rigorous of social scientists. Yet whereas their peers in the natural sciences can edit genes and spot
new planets, economists cannot reliably predict, let alone prevent, recessions or other economic events. Indeed, some claim that
economics is based not so much on empirical observation and rational analysis as on ideology.

In October Russell Roberts, a research fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, tweeted that if told an economist's view
21/66
15/05/2017 2017 Bull CAT 04
on one issue, he could confidently predict his or her position on any number of other questions. Prominent bloggers on
economics have since furiously defended the profession, citing cases when economists changed their minds in response to new
facts, rather than hewing stubbornly to dogma. Adam Ozimek, an economist at Moody's Analytics, pointed to Narayana
Kocherlakota, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis from 2009 to 2015, who flipped from hawkishness to
dovishness when reality failed to affirm his warnings of a looming surge in inflation. Tyler Cowen, an economist at George Mason,
published a list of issues on which his opinion has shifted (he is no longer sure that income from capital is best left untaxed). Paul
Krugman, an economist and New York Times columnist, chimed in. He changed his view on the minimum wage after research
found that increases up to a certain point reduced employment only marginally (this newspaper had a similar change of heart).

Economists, to be fair, are constrained in ways that many scientists are not. They cannot brew up endless recessions in test tubes
to work out what causes what, for instance. Yet the same restriction applies to many hard sciences, too: geologists did not need to
recreate the Earth in the lab to get a handle on plate tectonics. The essence of science is agreeing on a shared approach for
generating widely accepted knowledge. Science, wrote Paul Romer, an economist, in a paper published last year, leads to broad
consensus. Politics does not.

Nor, it seems, does economics. In a paper on macroeconomics published in 2006, Gregory Mankiw of Harvard University declared:
'A new consensus has emerged about the best way to understand economic fluctuations.' But after the financial crisis prompted a
wrenching recession, disagreement about the causes and cures raged. 'Schlock economics' was how Robert Lucas, a Nobel-prize-
winning economist, described Barack Obama's plan for a big stimulus to revive the American economy. Mr Krugman, another
Nobel-winner, reckoned Mr Lucas and his sort were responsible for a 'dark age of macroeconomics'.

As Mr Roberts suggested, economists tend to fall into rival camps defined by distinct beliefs. Anthony Randazzo of the Reason
Foundation, a libertarian think-tank, and Jonathan Haidt of New York University recently asked a group of academic economists
both moral questions (is it fairer to divide resources equally, or according to effort?) and questions about economics. They found a
high correlation between the economists' views on ethics and on economics. The correlation was not limited to matters of
debate"how much governments should intervene to reduce inequality, say"but also encompassed more empirical questions, such
as how fiscal austerity affects economies on the ropes. Another study found that, in supposedly empirical research, right-leaning
economists discerned more economically damaging effects from increases in taxes than left-leaning ones.

That is worrying. Yet is it unusual, compared with other fields? Gunnar Myrdal, yet another Nobel-winning economist, once argued
that scientists of all sorts rely on preconceptions. "Questions must be asked before answers can be given," he quipped. A survey
conducted in 2003 among practitioners of six social sciences found that economics was no more political than the other fields, just
more finely balanced ideologically: left-leaning economists outnumbered right-leaning ones by three to one, compared with a
ratio of 30:1 in anthropology.

The Metro Project was up for voting before the standing committee of the PMC. Each of the seven corporators on the standing
committee voted either for or against the project. Of the seven corporators, two belong to the AFA, two belong to the IMA and
three belong to the NDA. No corporator belongs to more than one party. A journalist reported the following about the way the
corporators voted.
Of the seven corporators, at least two voted for the Metro Project and at least two voted against the Metro Project.
If the three NDA corporators voted the same way as each other, then no AFA corporator voted the same way.
At least one AFA corporator voted against the Metro Project.
If the two AFA corporators and at least one NDA corporator voted the same way as each other, then both IMA corporators
voted that way
If the two IMA corporators did not vote the same way as each other, then which of the following could be true?
A)Exactly one AFA corporator and one NDA corporator voted for the Metro Project
B)Exactly one AFA corporator and all three NDA corporators voted for the Metro Project
C)Exactly two AFA corporators and one NDA corporator voted for the Metro Project
D)Exactly two AFA corporators and two NDA corporators voted for the Metro Project
Explanation:-
Option 1 seems to satisfy all the given criteria.
In option 2, if the three NDA corporators voted for the Metro Project, then both AFA corporators must vote against the Metro

C)Of the two AFA corporators, one voted for the Metro Project and one voted against it
D)Of the two IMA corporators, one voted for the Metro Project and one voted against it
Explanation:-
It is given that If the three NDA corporators voted the same way as each other, then no AFA corporator voted the same way and
At least one AFA corporator voted against the Metro Project. From this, we can conclude that both AFA corporators voted
against the Metro Project and the three NDA corporators voted for the Metro Project. Hence option 2 is true.

C)Exactly two NDA corporators voted for the Metro Project D)None of these
Explanation:-
In option 1, if both IMA corporators vote for the Metro Project, then both AFA corporators will vote against the Metro Project while
all three NDA corporators will vote for the Metro Project so that all conditions are satisfied. Hence the correct answer is option 1.

C)Exactly two NDA corporators voted for the Metro Project
D)Exactly five of the seven corporators voted against the Metro Project
Explanation:-
If both AFA corporators voted the same way as each other, but the three NDA corporators did not vote the same way as each
other, then we know that at least one NDA corporator voted the same way as the AFA corporators and therefore, both IMA
corporators voted the same way. From this, we can conclude that at least five corporators voted the same way and the remaining
two corporators voted the other way. Since at least one AFA corporator voted against the Metro Project, we know that five

The total production of Wheat, Sugarcane, Rice, Soya Bean and Maize in 1980 was 324 million tonnes and in 2010 was 1024
million tonnes. The diagrams below show the percent share of each of these five crops in total production in the respective years.
The outermost square in each diagram has an area of 100 and all figures drawn are regular.

If the five crops were ranked according to their respective shares in the total production, for how many crops has the rank

Explanation:-
The ranks, from 1 to 5 in 1980 were Sugarcane, Rice, Wheat, Soya Bean and Maize respectively and in 2010 were Sugarcane,
Wheat, Rice, Soya Bean and Maize respectively.
Thus, the ranks for two crops changed from 1980 to 2010.

One option is to actually calculate the values for production of the five crops across both the years and then compare.
From the given information, we know that the total production in 2010 was more than thrice that in 1980.
So, from the point of view of approximation, if we multiply all the percentages in 2010 by 3, we find that all the values will be
greater than the corresponding percentages in 1980.
Thus, the production for all five crops was greater in 2010 than in 1980.

In 2010, the production of Wheat and Sugarcane was 19.625% and 50% of the total production.
The required percentage is 50/19.625 50/20 = 250%.
The best answer is option 1.

Question No. : 42
For how many crops was the production in 2010 more than twice the production in 1980?
A)3 B)5 C)1 D)2
Explanation:-
32/66
15/05/2017 2017 Bull CAT 04
One option is to actually calculate the values for production of the five crops across both the years and then compare.
From the given information, we know that the total production in 2010 was more than thrice that in 1980.
So, from the point of view of approximation, if we multiply all the percentages in 2010 by 3, we find that the values will be
greater than twice the corresponding percentages in 1980 for Wheat, Soya Bean and Sugarcane.
Thus, the production for three crops in 2010 was more than twice the production of those crops in 1980.

Question No. : 43
Researches know that exactly six prehistoric iron-working sites - Q, R, S, T, V and X existed in the Windham area. Recently, the
researchers have discovered three objects 1, 2 and 3 that they know must have been made by iron-workers in the Windham area.
The researchers would now like to determine the specific site at which each object was made. The objects are different enough in
composition and style to leave no doubt that each was made at a different site. In addition, the researchers have established the
following

I. If any of the objects was made at Q, none of them was made at T.
II. If any of the objects was made at R, none of them was made at S.
III. One of the objects was made at V
IV. Object 2 was not made at X.
V. Object 3 was made neither at S nor at X

If neither Q nor T was a site at which any of the objects was made, which of the following must be true?
A)Object 1 was made at X B)Object 2 was made at S C)Object 2 was made at V D)Object 3 was made at R
Explanation:-
From the given information only Object 1 was made at X. Object 2 could have been made at S, V or R and Object 3 could have
been made at V or R.
Hence, the correct answer is option A.

following


If Object 1 was made at T, Object 3 could have made at which of the following site?
A)Q B)R C)S D)X
Explanation:-
From the given information Object 3 was not made at Q, S and X. So it was made at R.
Question No. : 45
following


Object 1, Object 2, and Object 3 respectively could have been made at
A)Q, S and X B)R, X and V C)T, V and S D)V, S and Q
Explanation:-
Since Object 3 was made neither at S nor at X, so options 1 and 3 are wrong. Again Object 2 was not made at X, so option 2 is also
wrong. Hence the answer is option 4.

Explanation:-
Solving these three simultaneous linear equation we have d = 80000, b = 40000 and c = 27000.
Total money won by A = 80000+40000+27000 =147000 and total loan paid by A = Q = 147000 + X
Q = 192000 X = 45000
A starts with Rs. X = Rs. 45000. Hence, [2]

22 < x 30 3(8L, 12L) 4(10L, 16L)

In the above table, for any range of mileage, the values inside the brackets in each cell give the minimum andthe maximum value
(in lakhs) respectively of any bike in the corresponding segment (i.e.. Indian orForeign) in that mileage range. For example, the
second column in the first row shows that there are five BIKEs in the Indian segment with a mileage of not more than 10 km/litre
and further, of all these five bikes, the minimum value of any bike is 18 lakh and the maximum value is 30lakh.

The total number of bikes with a value of not more than 20 lakh but a mileage of less than 15 km/litre, is at least
A)0 B)2 C)3 D)None of these
Explanation:-
Here, we are looking for the least possible number of bikes. Considering the bikes in the range of mileage of x 10, from Indian
segment at least one (i.e., with value of 18 lakh) must be counted.
Considering the bikes in the range of mileage of 10 < x 14, from Indian segment at least one (i.e. with value of 14 lakh) must be
counted and from foreign segment at least one (i.e. with value of 15 lakh) must be counted. The next range of mileage should not
be counted as it may be that all bikes in that range have a mileage of 15 km/litre or more. The required value is 3. Hence option 3
is the answer.

Any bikes with a mileage (in km/litre) which is not less than its value (in lakh) is termed to be costly. The total number of costly
bikes is at most
A)32 B)40 C)42 D)46
Explanation:-
From the first row, as none of the bikes can have a value of 10 lakh, none of them can be counted from this row, From the second

from Indian segment bike have a mileage of 18 km/litre and value of not more than 18 lakh and from foreign segment at most
10 bikes can be counted.
From the fourth row, from both the Indian and the foreign segments all the bikes (i.e., 6 + 6 = 12) bikes can be counted as each of
them can have an value which is less than its respective mileage. From the fifth row, also all the bikes can be counted, i.e., 3 + 4 =

The selling prices of three Brands of sugar X, Y, and Z are in the ratio 1 : 4 : 2 and their cost prices are in the ratio 3 : 7 : 5
respectively.

What is the cost price of Brand Z?
I. The difference between the cost price and selling price of all the three Brands is the same and is equal to Rs.200
II. Profit is made on only one of the three Brands.
A)If the question can be answered by any one of the two statements alone but not by the other statement alone
B)If the question can be answered by either of the two statements alone
C)If the question can be answered only if both the statements are taken together
D)If the question cannot be answered even by taking both the statements together.
Explanation:-
Let the cost price (c.p) and selling price (s.p) of X, Y, Z is represented as follows.
X Y Z
c.p 3x 7x 5x
s.p y 4y 2y
Difference |3x y| |7x 4y| |5x 2y|
From statement I: Given all the difference a equal
i.e. |3x y| = |7x 4y| = |5x 2y|
case 1: If all the Brands are sold at either profit or loss, then
3x y = 7x 4y = 5x 2y
3x y = 7x 4y and 7x 4y = 5x - 2y
Data insufficient
Case 1: is invalid
Case 2: If the profit is made only on Z and loss is made only on X and Y.
Then
3x y = 7x 4y = 2y 5x
3x y = 7x 4y and 7x 4y and 2y 5x
Data is inconsistent
Case 2 is invalid
Case 3: If profit is made only on Y and loss is made only on X and Z then
Case 3 is valid
Case 4: If profit is made only on X and loss is made only on Y and Z then

y 3x = 7x 4y = 5x 2y
y 3x = 7x 4y and 7x 4y = 5x 2y
5y = 10x and 2x = 2y
Data inconsistent
Case 4 is invalid
profit is made only on Y and loss is made only on X and Z
Difference of C.P and S.P of X = |3x y| and x = 2y

Let x = K, y = 2K
d = |3K 2K| = K
Given difference = 200 => K = 200 = x

Cost price of Brand Z = 5x = 5 200 = 1000
statement I alone is sufficient
From statement II alone, we cannot infer anything.

Question No. : 59
International Basketball Association (FIBA) conducts a basketball Tournament between 6 countries Argentina, Braziel, France,
Greece, Spain, and Turkey. The rules of the tournament are as follows

(a) Each country played only a single match against a particular country in any particular round.
(b) Each country played only three matches with other countries in a round.
Further, in the first Round
(c) Braziel won against Greece and France but looses to Argentina. Also there is no country which looses exactly 2 matches.
(d) Spain won against Turkey and Greece but looses to Argentina.
(e) Turkey secures 2 wins.
(f) Greece never plays with Argentina.
(g) The country with more than two wins, does not play with Turkey.
(h) A team will get one point for win and zero point for losing the match. There are no draws.

4 countries are selected for round 2 on the following basis
The points of any country after the first round are on the basis of the number of wins in the first round. In case, the number of
wins are same the preference to any team would be the points of opponent from which it had won. (If opponent from which a
team wins is stronger in terms of points, then the winning team would have more preference). If they are still same then more
preference would be given to the team which has more characters in their name.

In the second round
(a) The team having the last preference among the 4 selected teams is played with the top most team and the rest 2 teams play
the match.
(b) Exactly opposite scenario takes place in this round (i.e. the team having the higher preference looses with the team having the
lower preference)
(c) The 2 winners of second phase reach the finals.

Which two teams reach finals?
A)Argentina and Turkey B)Turkey and Braziel C)Turkey and Spain D)France and Spain
Explanation:-
By observing the conditions (c) and (d) we can observe some facts:

Argentina Braziel Spain 2
Braziel Greece France Argentina 2 1
France Braziel 1
Greece Braziel Spain 2
Spain Turkey Greece Argentina 2 1
Turkey Spain 1
Now Greece never plays with Argentina, hence Greece either plays with either France or Turkey. Also, the team winning more than
2 matches never plays with Turkey. The only team which has possibility of winning 3 matches is Argentina which never plays with
Greece and Turkey, hence plays with France.
Argentina Braziel Spain France 3 0
France Braziel Argentina 2
Turkey Spain 1
Now Turkey plays with both France and Greece.
France Braziel Argentina Turkey 3
Greece Braziel Spain Turkey 3
Turkey Spain France Greece 2 1
Also there is no team which loses exactly 2 matches. Hence France loses all 3 matches.
Also Turkey secures 2 wins hence wins against France and second against Greece as Greece currently loses 2 matches but no team
loses 2 matches hence Greece loses 3 matches.
France Braziel Argentina Turkey 0 3
Greece Braziel Spain Turkey 0 3
Hence 4 teams selected are Argentina, Braziel, Spain and Turkey. Now Argentina would have highest preference. For second
preference, Braziel and Spain both have won against Argentina but the second preference would be given to Spain as it won
against Turkey which won 2 matches. Further, Braziel has the same preference vis--vis Turkey in terms of winning against the
same opponents (i.e., France and Greece). But, Braziel will be given third preference as it has more characters in its name. Hence
(1) Argentina
(2) Spain
(3) Braziel
(4) Turkey
The second round would be played between (Argentina, Turkey) and (Spain, Braziel) in which Turkey and Braziel wins.
Hence Turkey and Braziel reach the finals.

Turkey and Braziel reach the finals.

A fish Nemo is known to eat its eggs before they hatch. At one time the Nemo fish lays 32 eggs. Each of these eggs after becoming
Nemos lay 32 eggs and so on. However, only 12.5 % are able to survive because mother fish eats them up and afterwards she
dies. If the number of Nemo fishes after 6 such processes are 12,288, then how many fishes were there at the beginning?
A)3 B)4 C)12 D)16
Explanation:-
Now, one fish lays 32 eggs, of which 4 survive and each of them lays 32 eggs each i.e. a total of 128, of which 16 survive.
Since, the mothers fishes themselves die, after 6 such processes, the number of survivors are
46 = 4096. For 1 fish, it is 4096 and so, 12,288 is for 3 fishes.

was done by X and Z. Find the ratio of work done by X and Z to that by Y when only 80 % of the assignment was completed?
A)3 : 2 B)7 : 3 C)23 : 7 D)47 : 13
Explanation:-
Let the assignment be worth 300 pages. The first 150 pages are typed by X and Y of which 100 pages are typed by X and 50 pages
were typed by Y. Finally, 240 pages were typed by X and Z together .i.e. 60 pages were typed by Y(he typed 10 pages with Z) and
so, 120 pages were typed by X(20 pages with Z), which means 120 pages were typed by Z. The ratio of the rates at which X, Y and
Z are working is 20 : 10 : 120 i.e. 2 : 1 : 12. So, for the remaining 90 pages, ( after the completion of first 50% ) the number of
pages typed by X, Y and Z are 12, 6 and 72 respectively. This means Y typed 56 and X and Z together typed 184. Ratio is 184 : 56
i.e. 23 : 7. Option 3.

Question No. : 69
In triangle ABC, D is the midpoint of AB, P is any point on AC such that CQ || PD. If the area of triangle ABC is unity, then area of
triangle APQ is
A)0.75 sq. units B)0.5 sq. units C)0.25 sq. units D)0.6 sq. units
Explanation:-
Since, D is the midpoint of AB, Area (BDC) = Area (ADC) = 1/2, since they are the triangles with congruent bases and equal
heights. Now, Area (ADC) = Area (ADP) + Area (DPC) = 1/2. But, Area (DPC) = Area (DQP) [Triangles between parallel
lines and with same bases] So, Area (APQ) = Area (ADP) + Area (DQP) = Area (ADP) + Area (
DPC) = 1/2. Option 2.

The Data section of the JMAT exam has 4 caselets of equal length (in words), with 5, 8, 8 and 6 questions respectively. While
writing this test, Bilu can answer exactly 12 questions in the time that he takes to read any one of the four caselets. If his rate of
answering questions remains the same, by what percent should Bilu increase his speed of reading the caselets so that he can
reduce his total time by 10%?
A)20% B)18.5% C)25% D)15%
Explanation:-
Suppose the time taken to read a caselet is R and the time taken to answer 1 question is Q. Then, 12Q = R. Since there are 27
questions and 4 caselets, the total time taken would be 27Q + 4R = 75Q. Suppose the time taken to read a caselet at the new
reading speed is X. Then, the total time taken would be 27Q + 4X = 75Q - 7.5Q = 67.5Q => 4x = 40.5Q or X = 10.125Q. Since
reading speed and time are inversely related, the new reading speed is 12Q/10.125Q = 1.185 times the earlier reading speed.
Thus, the reading speed should increase by 18.5%.
Question No. : 73
The ratio of the turnover of two companies, XYZ and ABC is 8 : 7 and the ratio of their expenditures is 19: 16 respectively. Profit is
calculated as the difference between turnover and expenditure. If each of the companies posted a profit of 1250, which of the
following is the turnover of XYZ and the expenditure of ABC?
A)6000 & 4750 B)6000 & 4000 C)5250 & 4000 D)5250 & 4750
Explanation:-
Suppose the turnovers of companies XYZ and ABC are 8x and 7x respectively and their expenditures are 19y and 16y respectively.
So, 8x 19y = 1250 and 7x 16y = 1250. Solving these equations yields x = 750 and y = 250. So, the turnover of company XYZ is
8x = 6000 and the expenditure of company ABC is 16y = 4000.

What is the digit at the hundredths place of the number N = 4536 ? (in numerical value)
A)6 B) C) D)
Explanation:-
The last three digits of any number is the same as the remainder when the number is divided by 1000.
4536 / 1000 = 533 936 / 23 (Dividing numerator and denominator by 125)
The remainder when 936 is divided by 8 will be 1 as 936 = (8 + 1)36
533 /8 = 5 2516 / 8 = 5 (24 + 1)16/ 8
So the remainder when will be 533 is divided by 8 will be 5.
So the remainder when 4536 is divided by 1000 will be 1 5 125 = 625
The required digit is 6.

Explanation:-
From the given information, we can draw the following Venn diagram.

The sum of all the values in the Venn diagram is 65 i.e. the number of students who studies atleast 1 subject = 65
So, the remaining 90 65 = 25 students are not studying any of the 3 specialisations.

15/05/2017 2017 Bull CAT 04
The sum of all the values in the Venn diagram is 65 i.e. the number of students who studies atleast 1 subject = 65
So, the remaining 90 65 = 25 students are not studying any of the 3 specialisations.
The number of students studying exactly two of the three specialisations is 5 + 4 + 8 = 17.
Thus, the required ratio is 17 : 25.

C is a circle with centre at (1, 1). If C just touches another circle x2 + 4x + y2 6y 3 = 0 internally at exactly one point, what is the
radius of C?
A)4 5 B)4 C)23 D)7 + 4
Explanation:-
We can rewrite the second circles equation as
(x + 2)2 + (y 3)2 13 3 = 0
Or (x + 2)2 + (y 3)2 = 16
So this is a circle with center (-2, 3) and radius = 4.

Now distance between the center points of the two circles is
{(-1 (-2))2 + (1 3)2 } = 5

So the radius of the first circle will be 4 5, since the circles are touching internally.

On a ruled notebook of 100 pages, including the cover, the first page is the cover, the second page is the backside of the cover, the
third page is a regular ruled page, the fourth page is the backside of third page and so on. Similarly there is a cover page at the
end of the book and nothing is written in the page preceding this page. Each page has a vertical margin of 2 cm and 20 horizontal
lines cross the length of the page. If a line is 2 mm thick, 25 cm long and the page is a rectangle of vertical length of 40 cm and
horizontal breadth of 25 cm, then approximately what percent area of the notebook is writable?
A)89% B)83% C)17% D)Cannot be determined
Explanation:-
Soln: Answer is 2.
There are total 96 pages which are writable.
Total area is 100,000 cm2.
On a single page, the area is 1000 cm2 so for 96 pages its 1000 96 = 96,000 cm2.
Horizontal lines covers the area of 0.2 25 20 = 100 cm2
Margins cover an area of 2 40 = 80 cm2
Then on a single page the area covered by margins and horizontal line is 100 + 80 cm2 = 180 cm2.
So, in the notebook it will be 180 96 = 17280 cm2. This much area cannot be used for writing out of a total area of 100000 cm2.
Thus percentage area which is writable is (100,000 - 17280)/ (100,000) = 82.7% = 83%

1. N, 233.34 m 2. S, 116.64 m 3. N, 133.34 m 4. The race ends in a dead heat.
A)3 B) C) D)
57/66
15/05/2017 2017 Bull CAT 04
Explanation:-
When R runs 500 meters, S runs 480 m and N runs 450 m.
In a 1200 m race, if they continue with the same pace then:
When S has run 1200 m, then N runs 1200 * 450/480 = 1125 m
But N runs at 20% more than his previous speed, thus he would cover = 1125 * 6/5 = 1350 m
Hence, when N runs 1350 m, then S runs 1200 m.
When N runs 1200 m, S runs 1200/1350 * 1200 = 1066.66 m.
Hence, N wins the race by 133.34 meters.

Question No. : 80
Three friends, Ranjeet, Sahil and Tarun, have different sums of money with them. If Ranjeet gives away half of his sum to the other
two equally then Sahil and Tarun together would have 8 times as much money as Ranjeet. If Sahil gives away a third of his sum to
the other two equally then the Ranjeet and Tarun together would have 7/2 times as much money as Sahil. If Tarun gives away a
fourth of his sum to the other two equally then the Ranjeet and Sahil together would have twice as much money as Tarun. If all the
sums involved are an integral number of rupees, which of the following cannot be the sums with Ranjeet, Sahil and Tarun
respectively?
A)638, 957, 1276 B)200, 300, 400 C)426, 636, 848 D)346, 519, 692
Explanation:-
Since Ranjeet gives 1/2 of his sum to other two, Sahil gives 1/3 of his sum to the other two and Tarun gives 1/4 of his sum to the
other two, so let us assume that Ranjeet, Sahil and Tarun have 2x, 3x and 4x respectively.
If Ranjeet gives away 1/2 2x = x, to the other two, their total will be 8x and Ranjeet would have x.
If Sahil gives away 1/3 3x = x, to the other two, their total will be 7x and Sahil would have 2x.
If Tarun gives away 1/4 4x = x, to the other two, their total will be 6x and Tarun would have 3x.
Since all conditions have been satisfied, we can safely say that the sums of money with them must be in the ratio 2 : 3 : 4.
Only option C does not satisfy this ratio and thus cannot be the sums of money with the three friends.
ALTERNATIVELY
We can just pick options and check whether they satisfy the given conditions or not..

fourth is a girl and fifth is a boy, is 5/126.
2. A mixed doubles tennis match is to be organized between these 10 people. The probability that one of the boys Arjun and one
of the girls Rajani will be together in one team is 1/25.
A)1 B)2 C)Both 1 & 2 D)Neither 1 and 2
Explanation:-
Consider statement (A),
Probability that first is boy = 5/10
Probability that first is boy and second is girl
= 5/10 5/9
Similarly, The required probability
= 5/10 5/9 4/8 4/7 3/6 = 5/126
Statement A is true.

Consider statement (B),
Total number of ways to choose 2 boys and 2 girls for mixed doubles tennis match = 5C2 5C2
= 10 10 =100
These 2 boys and 2 girls can team up in two ways.
Total number of ways in which match can be organized = 100 2 = 200
If Arjun and Rajani are there in one team, we have to just select (for the second team) 1 boy from the remaining 4 boys and 1 girl
from the remaining 4 girls.
Number of ways to do this = 4C1 4C1 = 4 4 = 16
Required probability = 16/200 = 2/25
Statement B is not true.
Hence, option 1.

profit?
A)26% B)30% C)35% D)43%
Explanation:-
Total Cost Price of all soaps for the shopkeeper = Marked Price of 14 3 soaps = Marked Price of 42 soaps.
Total Selling Price of all soaps for the shopkeeper = Marked Price of 15 4 soaps = Marked Price of 60 soaps

Train A, travelling at 60 km/hr, leaves Mumbai for Delhi at 6 P.M. Train B, travelling at 90 km/hr, also leaves Mumbai for Delhi at 9
P.M. Train C leaves Delhi for Mumbai at 9 P.M. If all three trains meet at the same time between Mumbai and Delhi, what is the
speed of Train C, if the distance between Delhi and Mumbai is 1260 km? (ans in kmph)
A)120 B) C) D)
Explanation:-
All three trains meet at the same time between Delhi and Mumbai. This means Train A and Train B are at the same point at that
time.
This will happen when B is overtaking Train A. Train A starts 3 hours before Train B. Therefore, by the time Train B leaves Mumbai,
Train A has covered 3 60 = 180 km. The relative speed between Train A and Train B = 90 60 = 30 kmph. Therefore, Train B
will overtake train A in 180/30 = 6 hours from the time B leaves Mumbai. That is at 3 A.M, B will overtake A. The point between
Mumbai and Delhi at which Train B overtakes Train A will be 6 90 = 540 km from Mumbai. Train C will also be at that point at 3
A.M while Train B is overtaking Train A. And Train C would have travelled 1260 - 540 = 720 km in these 6 hours. Therefore, the
speed of C = 720/6 = 120 km/hr.

For an odd positive integer n, satisfying 51 n 99, the quantity n3 n is always divisible by
Explanation:-
n3- n = n(n2 - 1) = (n 1)n (n + 1)
We can observe that the given quantity is the product of three consecutive numbers. One of these three numbers (n 1), n, or (n +
1) will be divisible by 3. Since n is an odd integer, one of (n 1) or (n + 1) will be divisible by 2 and the other by 4.
Therefore n3 n is always divisible by 2 4 3, which is 24.

Riya borrows Rs. 45000 from Siya at 10% Compound Interest for 3 years. Later she settled the committed amount in three annual
installments which form an A.P. She ends up paying Rs. 54000 totally. How much does she pay in 1st year (in Rs.)?
Explanation:- Let installments be a - d, a, a + d. So a - d + d + a + d = 54000

a = 18000
The payment at the end of year 2 = 18000
Borrowed amount = 45000
Amount outstanding at the end of year 1 = 45000 1.1 - (18000 - d) = 31500 + d
Amount outstanding at the end of year 2 = (31500 + d) (1.1) - 18000 = 16650 + 1.1d
Similarly amount outstanding at the end of year 3 = (16650 + 1.1d) (1.1) = (18000 + d)
d = - 1500
So, installments paid are 19500, 18000, 16500. So, answer is 19500.

number of heads. If all coins are fair, then what is the probability that A obtains more heads than B?
A) B) C) D)
Explanation:-
Answer will be same whatever the value of n be. Let us assume player A has 3 coins and player B has 2 coins. Now, if A has all 3
heads B will have either 2 heads or 1 head or no heads, if A has 2 heads B will have either 1 head or no head and if A has 1 head
then B will have no heads.
Hence the probability that A obtains more heads than B.
= PA (all 3 heads) [PB (2 heads) + PB(1 head) + PB(no heads)]+PA (2 heads)
[PB (1 head) + PB(no heads)] + PA (1 head) [ PB (no heads)]

Similarly this can be checked for other values of A = n+1 and B = n coins, and the same result will be obtained.

xy + z -1 = xy +1-x-y = (x-1)(y-1)
Similarly, yz +x-1= (y-1)(z-1)
And zx+y-1= (z-1)(x-1)
So, give expression can be written as,

triangle; e.g., 3 is a triangle number as it can be represented by an equilateral triangle with 2 dots in the bottom row and 1 dot
above this row.
A)2 B)3 C)5 D)7
Explanation:-
Series of reciprocals of triangle numbers: 1/1 + 1/3 + 1/6 + 1/10 + 1/15 + ...
Let S = 1/1 + 1/3 + 1/6 + 1/10 + ...
S/2 = 1/2 + 1/6 + 1/12 + 1/20 + ...
= 1/(1 2) + 1/(2 3) + 1/(3 4) + ... + 1/{n(n + 1)} + ...
But 1/{n(n + 1)} = (n + 1 n)/{n(n + 1)}
= (n + 1)/{n(n + 1)} n/{n(n + 1)}
= (1/n) 1/(n + 1)
Therefore S/2 = (1/1 1/2) + (1/2 1/3) + (1/3 1/4) + ... = 1.
Hence S = 1/1 + 1/3 + 1/6 + ... = 2
