Read the following passage and answer the given questions based on the information provided in the passage.
With the advancement of digital technology, excessive screen time has become a grave concern. This has pushed researchers and practitioners to focus on digital well- being. Screen time during COVID- 19 has further increased as a result of public health measures enforced by governments to curb the pandemic. A lack of comprehensive empirical overviews on screen time in the COVID- 19 era in the present literature prompted us to conduct this review. The present review attempts to understand the virtual social connectedness, excessive use of digital technology, its consequences and suggest strategies to maintain healthy use of digital technology. Though there are mixed consequences of prolonged screen time use and blurred understanding between healthy and unhealthy social connectedness over digital media, the suggestions for negative implications on (physical and) mental health warrant a strict need for inculcating healthy digital habits, especially knowing that digital technology is here to stay and grow with time.
The last two decades have seen a thriving future in the use of digital technology. It has accelerated human exposure to prolonged bright screen which is becoming a growing concern. Digital technology is essentially the use of electronic devices to store, generate or process data; it facilitates communication and virtual interactions on social media platforms using the internet. The COVID- 19 pandemic has forced people to rely on digital networks as their only method of maintaining a socio- emotional connection, but it has also made it a shallow one. Digital technology is influencing how people use digital devices to maintain, or avoid social relations or how much time to spend on virtual social connectedness. Screen time refers to the amount of time spent and the diverse activities performed online using digital devices. For instance, screen time encompasses both, using digital devices for work purposes as well as for leisure and entertainment.
The COVID- 19 pandemic came with restrictions, regulations and stay- at- home orders. Many individuals could not return to their homes, many stuck in foreign lands and many in solitude. As a result, the usage of digital devices has increased manifold across the globe. The addiction to the digital devices has started to run in the genes of individuals. Irrespective of age, people are pushed to rely on digital platforms. Education, shopping, working, meeting, entertaining and socializing suddenly leaped from offline to online. Here, digital technology came as a blessing in disguise, enabling individuals to remain emotionally connected despite social distancing. At the same time, prolonged screen time has caused concerns related to its impact on physical and mental health. While mindful use of digital devices is linked with well- being, excessive screen time is reported to be associated with a range of negative mental health outcomes such as psychological problems, low emotional stability, and a greater risk for depression or anxiety.

In the following questions, there are two equations in x and y. You have to solve both the equations and give answer.
I. x² + 3x - 40 = 0
II. y² - 11y + 30 = 0
● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (D) if x ≤ y
Explanation
Solving equation I, x² + 3x - 40 = 0 factors as (x + 8)(x - 5) = 0, which yields x = 5 and x = -8.
Solving equation II, y² - 11y + 30 = 0 factors as (y - 5)(y - 6) = 0, which yields y = 5 and y = 6.
Comparing all pairs:
When x = 5, y can be 5 or 6, so x = y or x < y.
When x = -8, y can be 5 or 6, so x < y in both cases.
Combining these gives x ≤ y.

● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (E) if x = y or there is no relation between x and y
Explanation
Solving equation I, 2x² + 7x - 15 = 0 factors as (2x - 3)(x + 5) = 0, giving x = 1.5 and x = -5.
Solving equation II, 3y² + 5y - 12 = 0 factors as (3y - 4)(y + 3) = 0, giving y = 4/3 ≈ 1.33 and y = -3.
Comparing values:
For x = 1.5, x is greater than both y = 1.33 and y = -3.
For x = -5, x is less than both y = 1.33 and y = -3.
Since x is greater than y in some cases and less than y in others, no relation can be established between x and y.

Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (C) if x ≥ y
Explanation
Equation I simplifies to x² + 13x + 42 = 0, which factors as (x + 6)(x + 7) = 0, yielding x = -6 and x = -7.
Equation II, y² + 15y + 56 = 0, factors as (y + 7)(y + 8) = 0, yielding y = -7 and y = -8.
Comparing values:
When x = -6, x > -7 and x > -8.
When x = -7, x = -7 and x > -8.
Thus, x ≥ y.
44Quantitative Aptitude

● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (E) if x = y or there is no relation between x and y
Explanation
Solving equation I, x² - 4x - 221 = 0 factors as (x - 17)(x + 13) = 0, giving x = 17 and x = -13.
Solving equation II, y² - y - 132 = 0 factors as (y - 12)(y + 11) = 0, giving y = 12 and y = -11.
Comparing the roots:
17 is greater than both 12 and -11.
-13 is less than both 12 and -11.
Because x can be greater than or less than y depending on the roots chosen, no relationship can be established between x and y.

Comparing all pairs, 6 < 8, 6 < 9, 7 < 8, and 7 < 9.
Therefore, x < y.

Jaya & Shivani invested Rs. 5000 & Rs. 6000 respectively in a business. After six- month Riya join the business with capital of Rs. 3000 and Jaya left the business. If at the end of one year the difference between profit share of Jaya & Riya is Rs. 200, then find the profit share (in Rs.) of Shivani.
● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (E) 1200
Explanation
The profit share is proportional to the product of investment and time duration in months:
Jaya's share product = 5000 × 6 = 30000
Shivani's share product = 6000 × 12 = 72000
Riya's share product = 3000 × 6 = 18000
The simplified profit ratio of Jaya : Shivani : Riya is 30000 : 72000 : 18000 = 5 : 12 : 3.
The difference between Jaya's and Riya's shares is 5 - 3 = 2 ratio units, which equals Rs. 200.
Hence, 1 ratio unit = 200 / 2 = Rs. 100.
Shivani's profit share = 12 × 100 = Rs. 1200.

If ratio of radius to height of a cylinder in 7:6 and curved surface area of cylinder is 1056 cm² , then find the total surface area of cylinder?
● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (D) 2288 cm²
Explanation
Let the radius r = 7x and height h = 6x.
Curved surface area of a cylinder = 2πrh = 1056
2 × (22/7) × 7x × 6x = 1056
264 x² = 1056
x² = 4
x = 2
Thus, radius r = 14 cm and height h = 12 cm.
Total surface area = 2πr(r + h)
= 2 × (22/7) × 14 × (14 + 12)
= 88 × 26
= 2288 cm²

● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (B) 140000 Rs.
Explanation
Let Ram's monthly income be I.
Rent spent = 20% of I = 0.20 I.
Remaining income = I - 0.20 I = 0.80 I.
From this remaining income:
Amount spent on food = 10% of 0.80 I
Amount spent on travel = 30% of 0.80 I = 0.24 I
Amount given to mother = (2/5) × 0.80 I = 40% of 0.80 I = 0.32 I
The difference between the amount given to mother and spent on travel is:
0.32 I - 0.24 I = 0.08 I
0.08 I = 11200
I = 11200 / 0.08 = 140000 Rs.

Answer: (B) 45
Explanation
Let the speed of the car be S_c and the speed of the bike be S_b.
Given S_b = 0.9 S_c, so S_c = S_b / 0.9.
The time taken by the car to cover 300 km is 300 / S_c = 300 / (S_b / 0.9) = 270 / S_b.
The time taken by the bike to cover 180 km is 180 / S_b.
The difference in time taken is 2 hours:
300 / S_c - 180 / S_b = 2
270 / S_b - 180 / S_b = 2
90 / S_b = 2
S_b = 45 km/hr

Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (B) 21 years
Explanation
Let the present age of Aman be 2x and David be 5x.
After 10 years, Aman's age will be 2x + 10 and David's age will be 5x + 10.
Sum of their ages after 10 years:
(2x + 10) + (5x + 10) = 69
7x + 20 = 69
7x = 49
x = 7
The difference between their present ages is 5x - 2x = 3x.
3 × 7 = 21 years.

A vessel contains total 95 liter mixture of milk & water in the ratio of 15:4 respectively. X liter mixture of mixture taken out from the vessel and 18 liters water added in the remaining mixture, then the new ratio of milk to water becomes 3:2 , find the value of X?
● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (E) 38
Explanation
Initial milk = 95 × (15/19) = 75 liters and water = 95 × (4/19) = 20 liters. After removing X liters, remaining milk is 75 - 15X/19 and remaining water is 20 - 4X/19. Adding 18 liters of water gives total water equal to 38 - 4X/19. Setting the ratio of remaining milk to new water equal to 3:2 gives (75 - 15X/19) / (38 - 4X/19) = 3/2, which simplifies to 150 - 30X/19 = 114 - 12X/19. Solving for X gives 18X/19 = 36, so X = 38.

● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (D) 10.5 days
Explanation
Time taken by A alone = 7 × 4 = 28 days, so A's work rate = 1/28. Time taken by B alone = 12 × (7/2) = 42 days, so B's work rate = 1/42. Combined work done by A and B in 12 days = 12 × (1/28 + 1/42) = 12 × (5/84) = 5/7. Remaining work = 1 - 5/7 = 2/7. Since C completes 2/7th of the work in 3 days, C alone takes 3 × (7/2) = 10.5 days to complete the entire work.

A shopkeeper sold a table at 20% profit and a chair at profit of 25% . If the cost price of the chair is equal to the selling price of table and shopkeeper earned an overall profit of Rs. 400, then find the sum of selling price of both the articles together?
● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (A) 2160 Rs.
Explanation
Let the cost price of the table be T. The selling price of the table is 1.2T, which is equal to the cost price of the chair. The selling price of the chair is 1.25 × 1.2T = 1.5T. Profit on table is 0.2T and profit on chair is 0.25 × 1.2T = 0.3T. Total profit = 0.2T + 0.3T = 0.5T = Rs. 400, giving T = Rs. 800. The total selling price of both articles is 1.2T + 1.5T = 2.7T = 2.7 × 800 = 2160 Rs.

Find the ratio between paper bag sold by B and fabric bag sold by C?
● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (A) 4:1
Explanation
Let the total bags sold by shop B be 2x. Since equal numbers of paper and fabric bags are sold by shop B, paper bags = fabric bags = x.
Shop A sells 25% more bags than shop B, so total bags for shop A = 2.5x.
Paper bags sold by shop B is double the fabric bags sold by A, so fabric bags of A = x/2 = 0.5x, and paper bags of A = 2.5x - 0.5x = 2x.
Paper bags of C = 50% of fabric bags of A = 0.25x.
Fabric bags of C = 25% of fabric bags of B = 0.25x.
Total bags across all shops = 2.5x + 2x + 0.5x = 5x = 1080, which gives x = 216.
Paper bags sold by B = 216, and fabric bags sold by C = 0.25 × 216 = 54.
The required ratio is 216 : 54 = 4 : 1.

Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (E) Both (b) and (c)
Explanation
From the conditions, exactly 9 persons visit three cities with limits of 2 to 4 persons per city.
Mumbai has 4 persons (K, H, T, M).
J visits only with P, meaning their city has exactly 2 persons: J and P.
Since B visits Bangalore, J and P must visit Pune.
Bangalore has 3 persons (B, L, I).
Thus, both P and J visit Pune.

A certain number of persons sit in a linear row and all face north. Four persons sit between A and B. G sits second to the right of B. One person sits between G and K. The number of persons sit between B and K is same as the number of persons sit to the right of K. V sits fifth to the left of G. P sits third from one of the extreme ends. P sits just left of V. P sits to the left of A.
Find the total number of persons sit in the row?
● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (A) 14
Explanation
Let positions be indexed 1 to N from left to right.
P is 3rd from the left end, so P is at position 3.
P sits just left of V, so V is at position 4.
V sits 5th to the left of G, so G is at position 4 + 5 = 9.
G sits 2nd to the right of B, so B is at position 9 - 2 = 7.
One person sits between G and K, placing K at position 11.
Three persons sit between B (position 7) and K (position 11), so 3 persons must sit to the right of K, placing the rightmost end at position 11 + 3 = 14.
Four persons sit between A and B, putting A at position 12, which keeps P to the left of A.
Total number of persons in the row is 14.

● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (E) Second to the right
Explanation
Placing P at position 3 (third from the left end) puts V at position 4 and G at position 9. Since G is second to the right of B, B is at position 7. One person between G and K places K at position 11. There are 3 persons between B (7) and K (11), which equals the number of persons to the right of K, making the total number of persons 14. Four persons between A and B puts A at position 12 since P is to the left of A. If 4 persons sit to the right of W, W is at position 10. Position 12 is second to the right of position 10.

Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (A) If only conclusion I follows.
Explanation
From the given statements, combining the path from A to X yields A ≥ N > R = X. Since A is greater than or equal to N, and N is strictly greater than X, it follows directly that A > X, so conclusion I is true. For conclusion II, the path from Q to N is Q ≥ P < N, which contains opposite inequality signs, so no definite relationship can be established between Q and N.

Answer: (C) If either conclusion I or II follows.
Explanation
From the inequality chain M = S ≥ F ≥ G = H, we derive M ≥ G. Since G = H, this is equivalent to M ≥ H. This inequality means that either M > G is true or M = G (and thus M = H) is true. Therefore, conclusion I and conclusion II form a complementary pair, meaning either conclusion I or conclusion II must follow.

Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (B) If only conclusion II follows.
Explanation
Tracing the path from C to D gives C ≥ F > K ≥ D. Because of the strict inequality sign between F and K, C is strictly greater than D, making conclusion II true. Tracing the path from L to F gives L ≤ C ≥ F, which contains opposing inequality signs, so no definite relation exists between L and F.

Answer: (A) If only conclusion I follows.
Explanation
From the path N > V ≥ L ≥ O, the strict inequality between N and V guarantees that N > O is true, so conclusion I follows. From the path O ≤ W ≤ A, we get A ≥ O, which means A can be greater than or equal to O, so the strict inequality A > O in conclusion II does not necessarily follow.

In the given word "LAVISHLY" if all the consonants replaced with its previous letter and all the vowels replaced with its next letter after that remove all the repeated letter and arranged them in alphabetical order then, which of the following letters is 3ʳᵈ from the left end?
● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted

Answer: (A) J
Explanation
In the word LAVISHLY, replacing each consonant (L, V, S, H, L, Y) with its previous letter gives K, U, R, G, K, X, and replacing each vowel (A, I) with its next letter gives B, J. Writing these in order yields the set of letters K, B, U, J, R, G, K, X. Removing the repeated letter K leaves the unique letters B, G, J, K, R, U, X. Arranging these remaining letters in alphabetical order produces B, G, J, K, R, U, X. Counting from the left end, the first letter is B, the second is G, and the third letter is J.

Answer: (D) Southeast
Explanation
Using point G as the origin (0, 0), point K is 12m West of G at (-12, 0), and point M is 4m North of K at (-12, 4). Since G lies exactly between L and J, and J is 10m South of L, point L is at (0, 5) and point J is at (0, -5). Comparing the coordinates of J (0, -5) with M (-12, 4), the x-coordinate increases from -12 to 0 (moving East) and the y-coordinate decreases from 4 to -5 (moving South). Therefore, point J is in the Southeast direction with respect to point M.

Explanation
Setting point G at the origin (0, 0), point K is located at (-12, 0). Since point G is the midpoint of the 10m vertical segment between L and J, point L is 5m North of G at (0, 5). The shortest distance between K and L is the straight-line distance between (-12, 0) and (0, 5). Applying the distance formula gives √((0 - (-12))² + (5 - 0)²) = √(144 + 25) = √169 = 13m.

Answer: (B) 10m
Explanation
With G at (0, 0), point J is at (0, -5). Point F is 6m West of J at (-6, -5), point O is 5m South of F at (-6, -10), and point Q is 18m West of O at (-24, -10). Point N is 12m East of Q, so adding 12 to the x-coordinate of Q gives N at (-12, -10). Point K is at (-12, 0). Since both K and N share the same x-coordinate of -12, the shortest distance between them is the absolute difference in their y-coordinates, which is |0 - (-10)| = 10m.

Answer: (D) Three
Explanation
In the word OBSEQUIOUS, letter positions are O(1), B(2), S(3), E(4), Q(5), U(6), I(7), O(8), U(9), and S(10). Checking letter pairs in both forward and backward directions where the number of intervening letters matches the alphabetical series reveals three valid pairs. In the forward direction, Q at position 5 and U at position 9 have a positional difference of 4, matching the 4-letter difference between Q (17) and U (21) in the alphabet. In the backward direction, I at position 7 and O at position 1 have a positional difference of 6, matching the alphabetical difference between I (9) and O (15); and S at position 3 and Q at position 5 have a positional difference of 2, matching the alphabetical difference between Q (17) and S (19). This yields a total of three pairs.
