Directions (Next Five Questions) : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words, have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

A long time ago, on a big tree in the lap of the mountain, lived a bird named sindhuka. It was a rather special bird because its droppings turned into gold as soon as they hit the ground.

One day, a hunter came to the tree in search of prey and he saw Sindhuka’s droppings hit the ground and turn into gold. The hunter was struck with wonder. He thought “ I have been hunting birds and small animals since I was a boy, but in all my 80 years, I have never seen such a miraculous creature. He decided that he had to catch the bird somehow. He climbed the tree and skillfully set a trap for the bird. The bird, quite unaware of the danger it was in, stayed on the tree and sang merrily. But it was soon caught in the hunter’s trap. The hunter immediately seized it and shoved it into a cage. The hunter took the bird home joyfully. But as he had time to think over his good fortune later, he suddenly realised, “If the king comes to know for his wonder, he will certainly take away the bird from me and he might even punish me for keeping such a rare treasure all to myself. So it would be safer and more honourable if I were to go to the king and present the unique bird to him.”

The next day, the hunter took the bird to the king and presented it to him in court with great reverence. The king was delighted to receive such an unusual and rare gift. He told his courtiers to keep the bird safe and feed it with the best bird food available.

The king’s prime minister though, was reluctant to accept the bird. He said “O Rajah, how can you believe the word of a foolish hunter and accept this bird ?

Has anyone in our kingdom ever seen a bird dropping gold? The hunter must be either crazy or telling lies, I think it is best that you release the bird from the cage.”

After a little thought, the king felt that his prime minister’s words were correct. So he ordered the bird to be released. But as soon as the door of the cage was thrown open, the bird flew out, perched itself on a nearby doorway and defecated. To everyone’s surprise, the dropping immediately turned into gold. The king mourned his loss.

Directions (Next Five Questions) : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.

Jagir Singh has sold red onions at a market in South Delhi every day for the past half-century. Perched on an upturned crate, wrapped tight against the chill air, he offers pyaz,a staple for much Indian cooking, for 60 rupees a kilo, the most he can remember. Business is brisk but most customers pick up only a small handful of onions. That is just as well- wholesale supplies are tight, he says, and the quality is poor. As india’s economy grows by some 9% a year, food prices are soaring. In late December the commerce ministry judged that food inflation had reached 18.3%, with pricey vegetables mostly to blame. Officials have made some attempts to temper the rise in the past month-scrapping import taxes for onions, banning their export and ordering low-priced sales at government-run shops. But there is no quick fix.

Heavy rain in the west of India brought a rotten, harvest. Vegetables from further a field- including a politically sensitive delivery from a neighbouring country- are costly to move on India’s crowded, potholed roads. Few refrigerated lorries and poor logistics mean that much of each harvest is wasted. Newspapers allege hoarders are cashing in.

The biggest problems are structural. Food producers, hampered by land restrictions, archaic retail networks and bad infrastructure, fail to meet extra demand from consumers. It was estimated in October that a 39% rise in income per person in the previous five years might have created an extra 220 million regular consumers of milk, eggs, meat and fish. Supplies have not kept up with this potential demand.

The broader inflation rate may be a less eye-watering problem than the onions suggest. The central bank has lifted interest rates steadily in the past year and is expected to do so again later this month. Headline inflation fell to 7.5% in November, down by just over a percentage point from October, though is still above the central bank’s forecast of 5.5% for March.

Question 81 :
What is responsible for the increased demand amongst consumers for certain food stuff?
There has been an increase in the wholesale supplies of this food stuff.
The vegetables in the markets are very highly priced
There has been an increase in the incomes of people.

There has been a surge in population.

Question 82 :
Which of the following is not true in the context of the passage?
The overall inflation is not as bad as the food inflation in India.
Help from other countries to counter food inflation has proved to be quite encouraging.
Government is banning the export of certain types of vegetables in order to check the food inflation.
Highly priced vegetables are mostly responsible for the increased food inflation.

Question 96 :
Mr. X invested a certain amount in Debit and Equity funds in the ratio of 4:5 respectively. At the end of one year, he earned a total dividend of 30% on his investment. After one year he reinvested the amount including dividend in the ratio of 6:7 in Debt and Equity Funds. If the amount reinvested in Equity Funds was INR 94,500/-, what was the original amount invested in Equity Funds?
INR 75,000/-
INR 81,000/-
INR 60,000/-
INR 65,000/-
None of these
Explanation:

Let the common ratio be X

The amount invested in Debit Funds = 4x

The amount invested in Equity Funds = 5x

After one year, Mr. X's total amount (including dividend) = 4x ×130/100 + 5x ×130/100 = 11.7x

Amount reinvested in Equity Funds = 11.7x ×7/13

11.7x ×7/13= 94500

6.3x - 94500

x = 15,000/-

∴ The original amount invested in Equity Funds = 5× 15000 = 75,000/-

Question 97 :

8
7
5
Cannot be determined
None of these
Explanation:

Let the son's present age be x years

Father's present age = (x+30) years

After ten years, Father's age = x+30+10=x+40

Son's age = x+10

According to question, 3(x+10) = x+40

3x+30=x+40

2x=10

x=5years

Question 98 :

184 m2
196 m2
204 m2
225 m2
None of these
Explanation:

Change in area = 20- 20- 20×20/100 =-4%

∴ 4% area is decreased.

let x be the initial area.

Then, 96x/100 =192

96x = 19200

x = 19200/96

x = 200m²

Question 99 :

45000= 2x

x = 22,500/-

∴ Amount invested in scheme B = 3× 22500

= 67,500/-

By using II and III we get,

Let the total amount invested = x

40x/100= 45000

x = 1,12,500/-

∴ Amount invested in scheme B = 1125000-45000

= 67,500/-

Explanation:

For Scheme A,

Simple interest = 1500×5×14/100 = INR 1,050/-

Amount = 1500+1050 = INR 2,550/-

Let the amount invested in scheme B be INR x.

1408 = x((1+20/100)²-1)

1408 = x(36-25/25)

x = INR 3,200/-

Additional money invested in scheme B apart from the amount received from scheme A = 3200-2550

x+8+10+x-6=88

2x = 76

x = 38years

∴ Kusum's age = x-8-14

= 38-8-14 = 16 years
