Sol : Explanation:
What is the single word that you can use to describe the age of a person who is
white-haired but baby-faced and who could be either twenty five or fifty?
Uncertain, doubtful, indefinite, vague are some of the words that should come to
your mind.
Among the choices, it is indeterminate(a : not definitely or precisely determined or
fixed : vague b : not known in advance c : not leading to a definite end or result)
which has the same meaning as these, and it is the answer.
57. Ans : (D)
Sol : (DEFINITION) Hibernation (meaning the practice of some animals spending the
winter in inactivity) refers when there is no activity; interregnum refers to a period
when there is no government. (D)
58. Ans : (C)
Sol : Canonical means orthodox; authorized by religion. Its opposite is heterodox, meaning
opposed to accepted religious beliefs.
59. Ans : (D)
Sol : Explanation :
The phrase did not becomeovernight means did not become..within a short
time. If the medieval kingdoms did not become constitutional republics overnights,
they should have become such republics slowly or in stages. Among the choices, it is
gradual that has this meaning, and is the answer.

Sol: According to the statement consumption of coffee leads to sound sleep. Since the
statement does not have any reference to the age group, choice (A) does not properly
contradict the findings. Choice (B) supports the findings. Statement refers to
soundness of the sleep but not the length. Hence, choice (C) does not contradict
findings. Dreams indicate lack of sound sleep. Hence, choice (D) contradict the
findings.
65. Ans : (B)
Sol: It can be seen that there are 45 children of height not exceeding 135 and 48 children
of age not exceeding 9 years. Consider the tallest child of the 45 children with height
not exceeding 135. For this, we can be reasonably sure that this age is less than 9
years as taller children have higher weights. So, all 45 children of heights not
exceeding 135 will have age not exceeding 9 years.
