Answer: (B) If only conclusion II is true
Explanation
From the combined relation Q ≥ S = D ≥ C > F ≤ G = T, we compare S and F through the path S = D ≥ C > F. Since there is a strict inequality sign (>), the relation S > F holds strictly. Consequently, S > F is true, whereas D = F is false. Therefore, only conclusion II is true.

Answer: (A) If only conclusion I is true
Explanation
From the given statement W ≤ Y > Z = X > P > J, comparing Z and J yields Z > J, which is equivalent to J < Z, making conclusion I true. For conclusion II, moving from W to X involves opposite inequality signs (≤ and >), so no definite relationship exists between X and W. Therefore, only conclusion I is true.

Answer: (C) If either conclusion I or II is true
Explanation
In the statement S > G ≥ J ≤ N < B > V = O, the signs between G and V (or O) are in opposite directions, meaning neither G ≥ V nor G < V can be individually confirmed as true. Since V = O, the two conclusions represent G ≥ V and G < V. Together, these two mutually exclusive and exhaustive conditions cover all possible relations (>, =, <) between G and V, forming an either-or pair.

Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (D) If neither conclusion I nor II is true
Explanation
From the statement W ≤ F < V = X ≥ B ≥ N, comparing F and B involves opposite signs (< and ≥), so F > B cannot be established. Comparing W and X gives W < X, which implies X > W strictly. Because X > W is strictly true, X = W is impossible, making X ≥ W false. Thus, neither conclusion I nor II is true.

We need to find combinations of the pattern Number - Symbol - Consonant in the given series:
9 M W @ Q 2 7 % J L | 2 T * U 9 6 # T Ω 1 Z 7 β L 6 3 µ Y 9
Evaluating all symbols:
% is preceded by 7 (Number) and followed by J (Consonant) -> 7 % J
is preceded by 6 (Number) and followed by T (Consonant) -> 6 # T
β is preceded by 7 (Number) and followed by L (Consonant) -> 7 β L
µ is preceded by 3 (Number) and followed by Y (Consonant) -> 3 µ Y
In total, four symbols satisfy the condition.

Answer: (D) Ω
Explanation
Scanning the series from the left end to find the numbers:
1st number from left: 9 (position 1)
2nd number from left: 2 (position 6)
3rd number from left: 7 (position 7)
4th number from left: 2 (position 12)
Moving 8 elements to the right of position 12 gives position 20 (12 + 8 = 20).
Counting to the 20th element in the series:
13: T, 14: *, 15: U, 16: 9, 17: 6, 18: #, 19: T, 20: Ω.
The 20th element is Ω.

Answer: (D) 33
Explanation
The differences between consecutive terms follow an alternating pattern of +9 and +0.25.
24 + 9 = 33
33 + 0.25 = 33.25
33.25 + 9 = 42.25
42.25 + 0.25 = 42.5

A and B together can do ⁸⁄₁₅ of a work in 5 days and B alone can do the remaining work in 7 days. Find in how many days A alone can do the work?
● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (B) 25
Explanation
Combined daily work rate of A and B = (8/15) / 5 = 8/75.
Remaining work = 1 - 8/15 = 7/15.
Daily work rate of B alone = (7/15) / 7 = 1/15.
Daily work rate of A alone = 8/75 - 1/15 = 3/75 = 1/25.
Time taken by A alone to complete the total work = 25 days.

A, B and C entered into a partnership business with investment of Rs. 4800, Rs. 2000 and Rs. 2800 respectively. At the end of a year, the profit of B is Rs. 3500, then find the difference between profit share of A and C.
● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (C) 3500 Rs.
Explanation
Ratio of investments of A, B, and C = 4800 : 2000 : 2800 = 12 : 5 : 7.
Since time periods are equal, the profit ratio equals the investment ratio.
Share of B = 5 units = ₹3500, which gives 1 unit = ₹700.
Difference between profit shares of A and C = 12 - 7 = 5 units = ₹3500.

A man invested Rs. 4000 on simple interest at certain rate of interest for some years. If rate of interest is two times of the time for man invested and he received Rs. 2880 as interest, then find the rate of interest.
● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (E) 12%
Explanation
Simple interest formula: SI = (P × R × T) / 100.
Given P = ₹4000, SI = ₹2880, and T = R / 2.
2880 = (4000 × R × (R / 2)) / 100
2880 = 20 × R²
R² = 144
R = 12%

● Correct
● Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted
Show answer & explanationHide answer⌄
Answer: (C) 2 : 3
Explanation
Initial water in mixture = 90 × (4 / 9) = 40 liters.
Water removed in 36 liters of mixture = 36 × (4 / 9) = 16 liters.
Water remaining before addition = 40 - 16 = 24 liters.
Water in final mixture after adding 36 liters of water = 24 + 36 = 60 liters.
Ratio of initial water to final water = 40 : 60 = 2 : 3.

Answer: (D) 660 Rs.
Explanation
Cost price of 8 pens and 12 bottles = ₹440.
Multiplying by 5/4, the cost price of 10 pens and 15 bottles = 440 × (5 / 4) = ₹550.
Selling price required for a 20% profit = 550 × 1.20 = ₹660.

Circumference of the circle = 2 × (22 / 7) × 7 = 44 cm.
Perimeter of the square = (9 / 11) × 44 = 36 cm.
4 × (x + 5) = 36
x + 5 = 9
x = 4 cm
Area of square with side x cm = 4² = 16 cm².

Answer: (D) 337.5
Explanation
Speed of train = 45 × (5 / 18) = 12.5 m/s.
Total distance (train length + bridge length) = 12.5 × 36 = 450 meters.
Given train length to bridge length ratio = 1 : 3.
Length of bridge = 450 × (3 / 4) = 337.5 meters.

Answer: (D) 45%
Explanation
Let the total number of applicants for post B be 100. Then applicants for post A = 150. Since 70% of post A applicants are boys, 30% are girls, giving 30% × 150 = 45 girls for post A. Since the number of girls is equal for both posts, post B also has 45 girls. Thus, the percentage of girls applying for post B is (45 / 100) × 100 = 45%.

Answer: (D) 5
Explanation
Let the speed of the stream be 2x km/h and the speed of the boat in still water be 5x km/h. Downstream speed = 5x + 2x = 7x km/h. Given downstream speed = 70 km / 5 h = 14 km/h, 7x = 14 gives x = 2. Upstream speed = 5x - 2x = 3x = 6 km/h. The time T required to cover 30 km upstream is 30 / 6 = 5 hours.
