Directions (next 10 questions) : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. Certain words/phrases are given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. Today, the discipline of science that Sir Isaac Newton helped found in the second half of the 17th Century has extended humanity’ s horizons to a degree he could scarcely have envisaged. Even though Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006, with the discovery of other similarly sized bodies nearby , the latest mission of America’s space agency NASA to Pluto is expected to produce plenty of data for planetary scientists to pore over. But then the stream of mission to the outer planets namely- Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune- turns into a trickle. At the same time, Cassini was launched in 1997 to explore Saturn and its moons but by 2017 its propellant will be depleted and provided it survives a series of fly-bye through Saturn’s rings- It will burn up as it plunges through the planet’s thick atmosphere. Sometime, before 2025 even the stalwart voyage probes, both launched in 1977, will lack the power to continue sending back data. Voyager-1, now in interstellar space, is the most distant man-made object in the Universe, and Voyage-2 is not far behind. The upshot is that for a decade or so, discoveries will come mostly from objects closer to Earth, regular excursions to Mars are planned. There will also be plenty of instruments launched to look at Earth itself. The hiatus might not end until two proposed space missions are launched in the early 2020s.
It seems an abrupt slowdown after a golden age of missions by NASA and European Space Agency (ESA). But, building a space probe in both complicated and expensive, it takes years of planning and jostling for funds as well as hefty dose of lack to ensure that complex equipment works well. We are travelling today from some good science and good funding in the 1990s. And money has become much scarcer in recent years. In 1981, the recent high-water mark for NASA, the agency received $25 billion. Its budget fell to a low of $16.9 billion in 2013. Some of NASA’S cash has been shifted to other projects. NASA’S co-operation with ESA on future missions has also been scaled back as a result of budget cuts. The Europeans, by contrast, have kept their funding fairly steady. But ESA’s budget is just £ 4.4 billion ($4.9 billion). Other countries are interested in space and have missions under way or in the making, including China, Japan and India. But so far they have no ambitions to venture beyond mars.
Does the coming gap in planetary exploration matter ? Studying the geology, atmospheres and evolution of plants, and comets provides valuable science. Others have loftier ambitions-Keeping planetary science going is critical to the long term survival of the species on this planet. Because space missions have such long lead times, the looming urn of years will have deleterious effects even if budgets start to rise again. The concern is that when funding does get back, there will be a missing generation of valuable knowledge almost. It’s really difficult to go through boom and bust cycles since you’ve got to keep the scientific community and the engineers ticking over to maintain the expertise will have in outer solar-system exploration.
Which of the following is the central idea of the passage
Which of the following can be said about the voyage probes

II. Annual salary of Mr. Murthy increased to 12% from 2012 to 2013 and by this he got a raise of INR 3.6 lakhs in his annual salary.
Let the annual salary of Mr. Murthy = INR x
Savings = [100-(18+22+45)]
=100-85

II. Raman scored 64 marks less than the minimum passing marks.
Let the maximum marks in test = x
Raman's marks = 25/100x = x/4
x/4= 288-128
x= 640
Minimum passing marks = 160 + 64 = 224
∴ Required percentage = 224/640×100 = 35%

A started a business with an investment of INR 5000/-. After 2 months, B and C joined with INR 2500/- and INR 3500/- respectively. If total annual profit was INR 4800/-, what was B’s share in the annual profit
The ratio of profit of A, B and C
= (5000×12) : (2500×10) : (3500×10) = 12 : 5 : 7
∴B's share in the annual profit = 5/24×4800
=INR 1000/-

Percentage of Associate Professors in different Universities in the year January 2013 Total number =300
In 2013, the number of female Associate Professors in University B was double the number of male Associate Professors in the same University. If in University B, the number of female Associate Professors is same as that in University D, what is the number of male associate professors in University B
In 2013, the total number of Associate Professors in University B = 300×18/100 = 54
Let the number of male Associate Professors in University B = x
The number of female Associate Professors in University B = 54- x
54-x = 2x

The speed of a boat in still water is 14 km/h and the speed of the current is 2 km/h. The time taken by the boat to travel from point A to point B downstream is 1 hour less than the time taken to the same boat to travel from point B to point C upstream. If the distance between points A and B is 4 km less than that between points B and C, what is the distance between points B and C
Let the distance between points A and B = x km
∴ Distance between Points B and C = (x+4)km
Downstream speed of the boat = 14 +2 = 16 km/h
Upstream speed of the boat = 14-2 = 12 km/h
x+4/12-x/16=1
4x+16-3x=48
x=32 km
∴ Distance between points B and C
= x+4 = 32+4
=36 km

5 men = 6 Women
∴ 15 Men = 18 Women
M1D1 = M2D2
6×12= (15+10)×x
6×12= (18+10)×x [∴ 15M= 18W]
6×12=28×x
x=18/7
x= 2 4/7 days

A mobile phone and a tablet were sold at a profit of 10% and at a loss of 8% respectively. If the cost price of the mobile is 1.5 times that of the tablet, what is the overall profit percentage earned by selling both the articles
Let the cost price of the tablet = INR x
and cost price of the mobile = INR 1.5x
Total cost price of both the articles
= x+15x= 2.5x
Total selling price of both the articles
= x×92/100+1.5x×110/100
=INR 2.57 x
Gain = (2.57-2.50)x = 0.07x
∴ Required gain percentage = 0.07/2.5×100
=2.8%

A jar contains a mixture of milk and water in the respective ratio of 3:1. When 4 litre of the mixture is taken out and thereafter 3 litre of milk is added to the remaining mixture. The respective ratio of milk and water in the resultant mixture thus formed is 4:1. What was the initial quantity of water in the mixture
Let the quantity of water in the mixture = x litre
and the quantity of milk in the mixture = 4x litre
[3x-4(3/4)+3]÷[x-4(1/4)]=4/1
3x=4x-4
x=4
∴ Initial quantity of water in the mixture = 4 litre

Number of
illiterates (males)
(Note : Total population = Number of males+Number of females)
The number of illiterates in village c are what percent less than that in village D
Required percentage = 120-50÷120×100
= 70/120×100
=581/3%
What is the respective ratio between number of literates in village A and that in village C
Let the total population of village A =x
Number of illiterate population of village A = 360
∴ x×60/100=360
x=600
Number of literate population of village A
= 600-360 = 240
Let the total population of village C =y
Number of illiterate population of village C = 50
∴ y×25/100 = 50
y=200
Number of literate population of village C
= 200-50 = 150
∴ Required ratio = 240/150
8:5
If in village B, 2/3rd of the literates (males and females) are males, what percent of total number of females in village B are literate
Let the total population of village B = x
Number of the illiterate population of village B = 350
∴ x×70/100=350
Number of literate population of village B
= 500-350 = 150
Number of literate males = 150×2/3=100
Number of literate females = 150-100=50
Total number of females = 500×2/5=200
∴ Required Percentage = 50/200×100 = 25%
Total population of village B is what percent more than that of total population of village C
Total population of village B = 500
Total population of village C = 200
∴Required percentage = 500-200/200×100
=300/2=150%
What is the difference between total number of males in village C and D together and the total number of females in the same villages together
Total number of population of village C = 200
Number of males in village C = 200×3/5=120
Number of females in village C = 200-120=80
Let total number of population of village D = x
Number of illiterate population in village D = 120
x×40/100=120
x=300
Number of males in village D = 300×2/3=200
Number of females in village D = 300-200=100
∴ Required difference = (120+200)-(80+100)
=320-180
=140
What is the average number of females in village A and B
Required average = [600(1/4)+500(2/5)]÷2
