Question No. : 1
There is a close relationship between size and life span. Though there are exceptions, larger species tend to live longer than
smaller ones, and by some reckonings, the largest dinosaurs had very long life spans so much time and space for mutations
to collect. Wouldnt that have made them highly susceptible to neoplasms? At least in the mammalian world the issue is not
clear-cut, an observation that goes by the name of Petos paradox. It was named for Sir Richard Peto, an Oxford epidemiologist.
He was puzzled that large long-lived creatures like elephants dont get more cancer than small short lived creatures like mice.
The mystery was succinctly posed in the title of a paper by a group of biologists and mathematicians in Arizona: Why Don't All
Whales Have Cancer? Except for belugas in the polluted St. Lawrence estuary, whale cancer appears to be uncommon.
For mice the cancer rate is high. At first that didn't seem so strange. There is an inverse correlation between life span and pulse
rate. During a typical lifetime an elephant and a mouse will each use up roughly a billion heartbeats. The mouse will just do it
much faster. With a metabolism on so high a burn, it seems sensible that mice might get more cancer. But what is true for the
mouse is not true for other tiny mammals. Birds, despite their frenzied metabolic rate (a hummingbird's heart can beat more
than a thousand times a minute) appear to get very little cancer. If you graph mammalian size against cancer rate there is no
telltale sloping line, just a scattering of dots.
Scientists have proposed several reasons for why cancer doesnt correlate smoothly with size. While larger animals may indeed
get more mutations, they might also have evolved more effective means for repairing DNA, or for warding off tumors in other
ways. The authors of the Arizona paper suggested how that might occur: hyper tumors. Cancer is a phenomenon in which a cell
begins dividing out of control and accumulating genetic damage. Its children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren go on to
spawn broods of their own subpopulations of competing cells, each with a different combination of traits. The stronger
contenders those that have evolved an ability to grow faster than the others or to poison their neighbors or to use energy
more efficiency will gain an upper hand. But before they can dominate, the authors proposed, they might become
susceptible to "hyper tumors ": clusters of weaker cancer cells opportunistically trying to latch on for a free ride. These
parasites would sap energy continuously, destroying the tumor or at least keeping it in check. In large, long lived animals
cancer develops gradually enough for the leeches to form. They may indeed get more tumor, but they are much less likely to
grow to a noticeable size. Cancer that can get cancer.

1. From the flatlands of Kentucky to the seaport district of Boston, we are not built to withstand the harms we are likely to face
in the years ahead.
2. But in all these discussions of how to build resiliency into our domestic fabric, we may be getting far ahead of ourselves.

other varieties of mayhem.
4. Public-policy experts and politicians talk of building a more resilient nation, the de rigueur notion of our time.
5. Resiliency is understood as the capacity to create systems that can regroup, bounce back, adapt, and return stronger, and
this notion of resiliency has taken on a life of its own as leaders in industries as far-ranging as business, health care, law, and
psychology all have jumped on the bandwagon.

1. It seems doubtful that sugar-free Milanos will save us, but, maybe a new way of thinking among food researchers can.
2. The question of what to eat, when viewed through the lens of diet books and magazine weight-loss tips, can look frivolous,
but in reality the stakes are high : we are raising the first generation of Americans likely to have shorter lives than their parents.
3. "For decades we've been asking the wrong question," says Gardner, associate professor of medicine at Stanford's Prevention
Research Center. "It's not 'What's the best diet?' It's 'What's the best diet for each unique person?' "
4. By 2030, experts predict, obesity could be the norm, which means that the toddler squirming around in Hanover's shopping
cart-who by this time had put tooth marks in the foil seal of one of the yogurt cups- is more likely than not to be obese by the

Question No. : 6
1. In conversations, in the ways people I know meet medical challenges, I've noticed not just a discomfort with the unpopular
aspects of aging, but something more general: a shrinking from the body itself, a desire to deny that this body is who we are.
2. Inspired by the generation-defining tome 'Our Bodies, Ourselves', we trained for childbirth without anesthesia, we looked at
our cervixes using a speculum, and in general cultivated in ourselves the thought that our own bodies were not sticky,
disgusting, and shameful, but dynamic, marvelous, and, more important, just us ourselves.

Question No. : 7
DIRECTIONS for the question: Read the following passage and answer the question based on it.
Before one can identify anything as "gray", one has to know what is black and what is white. In the field of morality, this means
that one must first identify what is good and what is evil. And when a man has ascertained that one alternative is good and the
other is evil, he has no justification for choosing a mixture. There can be no justification for choosing any part of that which one
knows to be evil. In morality, "black" is predominantly the result of attempting to pretend to oneself that one is merely "gray".
If a moral code (such as altruism) is, in fact, impossible to practice, it is the code that must be condemned as "black", not its
victims evaluated as "gray". If a moral code prescribes irreconcilable contradictions"so that by choosing the good in one
respect, a man becomes evil in another"it is the code that must be rejected as "black". If a moral code is inapplicable to reality"if
it offers no guidance except a series of arbitrary, groundless, out of context injunctions and commandments, to be accepted on
faith and practiced automatically, as blind dogma"its practitioners cannot properly be classified as "white" or "black" or "gray": a
moral code that forbids and paralyzes moral judgment is a contradiction in terms.
Some people believe that the doctrine of moral grayness is merely a restatement of such bromides as "Nobody is perfect in this
world" i.e., everybody is a mixture of good and evil, and, therefore, morally "gray". Since the majority of those one meets are
likely to fit that description, people accept it as some sort of natural fact, without further thought. They forget that morality
deals only with issues open to man's choice (i.e., to his free will)"and, therefore, that no statistical generalizations are valid in
this matter.
If man is "gray" by nature, no moral concepts are applicable to him, including "grayness", and no such thing as morality is
possible. But if man has free will, then the fact that ten (or ten million) men made the wrong choice, does not necessitate that
the eleventh one will make it; it necessitates nothing"and proves nothing"in regard to any given individual.
There are, of course, complex issues in which both sides are right in some respects and wrong in others"and it is here that the
"package deal" of pronouncing both sides "gray" is least permissible. It is in such issues that the most rigorous precision of
moral judgment is required to identify and evaluate the various aspects involved"which can be done only by unscrambling the
mixed elements of "black" and "white".
The basic error in all these various confusions is the same: it consists of forgetting that morality deals only with issues open to
man's choice"which means: forgetting the difference between "unable" and "unwilling". This permits people to translate the
catch phrase "There are no blacks and whites" into: "Men are unable to be wholly good or wholly evil" which they accept, in
foggy resignation, without questioning the metaphysical contradictions it entails.
Observe the form in which one encounters that doctrine: it is seldom presented as a positive, as an ethical theory or a subject of
discussion; predominantly, one hears it as a negative, as a snap objection or reproach, uttered in a manner implying that one is
guilty of breaching an absolute so self-evident as to require no discussion. In tones ranging from astonishment to sarcasm to
anger to indignation to hysterical hatred, the doctrine is thrown at you in the form of an accusatory: "Surely you don't think in
terms of black-and-white, do you?"
Excerpted from 'The Virtue of Selfishness' by Ayn Rand.
In the third paragraph, the statistical generalization refers to -
A)The average of the morals of the individuals being based on the average of the morals of the society
B)The percentage of black for gray does not have any fixed value
C)At a very basic level all choices boil down to Yes or No
D)The probability theory that tries to forecast the future based on past experiences

Question No. : 14
1. Although genetic testing is protected, like medical data, by privacy laws, many states have passed laws that treat genetic test results as
super-double-special secret.
2. As two Georgetown law professors wrote in 1999 about state laws: "Why, for example, should medical information about a woman who
has developed breast cancer of genetic origin, be given greater protection than a woman who has developed breast cancer because of
environmental or behavioral factors (e.g., smoking)?"
3. Congress brought all of the related concerns together in the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, which is aimed
specifically at employers and insurers.
4. The idea that genetic testing somehow reveals dark, infallible secrets about the future puts pressure on politicians to do something about
it.
5. Ironically, genetic privacy laws discriminate in their own way by singling out people whose diseases can be tied to genetic risks.
6. Besides, the professors added, genetic test results usually tell a doctor far less about future risk than a patient's sex, age, race, occupation,
financial status, employment status, and family history"all of which receive only 'ordinary' protection from prying eyes.

Question No. : 15
The quality movement provides a useful analogy. Thirty years ago, if you had asked someone, "Where does quality come
from?" they would have replied, "From the artisan" or perhaps, "From the inspector at the end of the production line." Quality
came from the guy with magical hands at Rolls-Royce, who spent weeks hammering a fender around a wooden form, or from
the white-coated inspectors at the end of the Mercedes-Benz production line. Then Dr. Deming came along and said, "We must
institutionalize quality, it has to be everyone's job. That guy down there on the shop floor, with 10 years of formal education
and grease under his fingernails, that guy is responsible for quality." Looking back, we forget just how radical this idea was. In
Detroit, auto execs said, "You gotta be kidding! Our employees are saboteurs."
It took many companies a decade or more to grasp and internalize quality as a capability. But the challenge is no longer quality.
You've been there, done that, got the Baldrige. Neither is it time-to- market, supply chain management, or even e-commerce.
Today the challenge is to build a deep capacity for business concept innovation"the kind that produces entirely new business
concepts and radically reinvents old ones.
Like Deming, Juran, and the early leaders of the quality movement, we're going to have to invent new practice. If you had
wanted to benchmark best-of-breed quality in 1960, where would you have gone? The answer's not obvious. There was no
Deming prize; no ISO 9000. Yet the quality pioneers were undeterred. They invented new practice, built on a new philosophical
foundation. Like them, we must aspire to more than 'best practice', for most of what currently passes for innovation best
practice is grounded in the age of progress; it's simply not good enough for the age of revolution.
Creating a company-wide capacity for radical innovation will be no less challenging than creating an organization infused with
the ethos of quality" and this time it can't take your company ten years. And it will not if you're willing to kick off the lead boots
of denial; not if you're willing to dump all that useless management theory you picked up back there in the age of progress; not
if you're ready to climb over the walls of your Dilbert cell and take responsibility for something more than your "job."
Whether what you now hold in your hands is simply shelf ware, or an incendiary device, depends on you. You've been told that
change must start at the top "that's rubbish". How often does the revolution start with the monarchy? Nelson Mandela, Vaclav
Havel, Thomas Paine, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King: did they possess political power? No, yet each disrupted
history; and it was passion, not power, that allowed them to do so.
Most of us pour more of our life into the vessel of work than into family, faith, or community. Yet more often than not the
return on emotional equity derived from work is meagre. The nomadic Israelites were commanded by God to rest one day out
of seven"but He didn't decree that the other six had to be empty of meaning. By what law must competitiveness come at the
expense of hope? If you're going to pour out your life into something, why can't it be into a chalice and not down the drain?
For every one of us, it is our sense of purpose, our sense of accomplishment, our sense of making a difference that is at
stake"and that is more than enough.
The author of the passage is primarily concerned with the idea that:
A)Quality is sacrosanct and cannot be compromised

B)Innovation and quality go hand in hand in terms of organizational benefit
C)Innovation is the standard, organizations fail to adopt, just like quality was at one point of time
D)Innovation is the need of the hour and needs to replicate the path that was taken by quality

1. That particular burger coalesced in a substrate of foetal calf serum, but the goal is to develop an equally effective plant-
based solution so that a relatively small amount of animal cells can serve as the initial foundation for glistening mounds of
brainless flesh in vats meat without the slaughter.
2. Three years ago, a televised taste test of a lab-grown burger proved it was possible to grow a tiny amount of edible meat in a

Julia believed that because each person was equally valuable, she was not entitled to care more for herself than for anyone else;
she believed that she was therefore obliged to spend much of her life working for the benefit of others. That was the core of it;
as she grew older, she worked out the implications of this principle in greater detail. In college, she thought she might want to
work in development abroad somewhere, but then she realised that probably the most useful thing she could do was not to
become a white aid worker telling people in other countries what to do, but, instead, to earn a salary in the US and give it to
NGOs that could use it to pay for several local workers who knew what their countries needed better than she did. She reduced
her expenses to the absolute minimum so she could give away 50% of what she earned. She felt that nearly every penny she
spent on herself should have gone to someone else who needed it more. She gave to whichever charity seemed to her (after
researching the matter) to relieve the most suffering for the least money. All this made her worry that she might be wrong. How
likely was it that everyone else was wrong and she was right? But she was also suspicious of that worry: after all, it would be
quite convenient to be wrong " she would not have to give so much. Although her beliefs seemed to her not only reasonable
but clearly true, and she could argue for them in a rational way, they were not entirely the result of conscious thinking: the
essential impulse that gave rise to all the rest was simply a part of her. She could not help it; she had always been this way,
since she was a child.

Question No. : 21
They are born that way. They have become that way. They have chosen to be that way. Nature, nurture and choice, these are
three 'explanations' of homosexuality that the modern world throws up every now and then. Most often, they are regarded as
mutually exclusive alternatives, and might be released into the public domain as the result of genetic, psychiatric or sociological
research, or as politicized convictions. These theories, and the various guises in which they become part of 'common
knowledge', determine not only perceptions of and attitudes to homosexuality, but also how homosexuals make sense of and
live out their own lives. So, when a Canadian psychologist's research suggests that having one or more older brothers boosts
the likelihood of a boy growing up to be gay, it is important to be able to put such a 'finding' in its place and think about what
is going on behind and around the research. Why is it that, every now and then, the 'causes' of homosexuality have to be
located in the genes, or in some form of biological determinism, and linked to left-handedness or red-headedness, or to similar
behaviour in mice, fruit-flies, monkeys or penguins' Are these explanations actually justifications ('We/They can't help it') or are
they something more mischievous and sinister ('If it's genetic, then maybe something can be done about it')'
First, similar explanations are never sought for heterosexuality, which is the 'order of nature', and hence beyond enquiry. Behind
most such investigations into homosexuality is profoundly normative thinking. It is deviancy from the norm that requires
scientific explanation, and in civilized societies some deviancies need empirically grounded justification. Second, the focus is
always on male homosexuality. Lesbians complicate most hypotheses and inferences regarding sexuality, and women come into
the picture only as wombs in which the drama of sexual destinies is played out. Third, biological sex, gender-roles, sexual
identity and sexual behaviour are distinct but variously overlapping elements within human sexuality. They combine among one
another to form complex and shifting configurations most of which cannot be reduced to simple binaries like gay and straight,
active and passive, masculine and feminine. Between being absolutely heterosexual and absolutely homosexual, human sexual
identity and behaviour show innumerable gradations, variations and changes, some culturally inflected, that defy fixed
definitions and categories.
Most research into why homosexuals are homosexuals fails to take into account these essential complexities and variations, and
is therefore premised on a limitedness that renders dubious its claims to scientific 'truth'. In the liberal West, where most battles
against sexual injustice seem to have been won, the persistence of such research could only point to a deep discomfort with
what the Indian Penal Code still deems, more unabashedly, to be 'against the order of nature'.
The author of the passage clearly:
A)is against the prejudicial biases that have long advocated the emancipation of homosexuality

The science of climate change does set the parameters of the problem, even though it doesnt dictate the correct solution. It
must be dealt with in the medium term, but through the structural transformation of our carbon economy rather than global
austerity. That will include both developing scalable technologies for removing CO2 from the atmosphere (such as genetically
modified algae and trees) and reducing the carbon intensity of our high energy life-styles (for which we already have some
existing technologies, such as nuclear power). But note that such innovations require no prior global agreement to set in train,
but can be developed and pioneered by a handful of big industrial economies acting on the moral concerns of their own
citizens.
1.The climate change issue can be dealt in a time bound manner with impetus from citizens and the government.
2. The climate change issue, though intractable, can be mitigated to a certain degree if industrial economies can derive a
mechanism to operate in the given scenario.
3.Climate change can be dealt with by a combination of methods, which involve regeneration of environment and changing
existing usage patterns and the efforts of some industrial economies.

and the effort of a few big industrial economies, it can be controlled.

Talent, inspiration, hard work " some combination of these elements yields literature. Work is the simple one " anybody, we
think, can work hard, can develop a work ethic. But we also believe writing shouldn't be so easy. This is a recent disposition,
dating from about the time of modernism " it's not like anyone faults Daniel Defoe for his 500 published works, but we do
instinctively do that for Isaac Asimov, who managed a similar tally. That's because we've become suspicious of writers not when
they work too much, but when they produce too much work. There's a word for it: hackery. We think of hacks as turning out
slick prose bereft of inspiration. As somebody once asked about John Updike, "Has the son of a bitch ever had one unpublished
thought?" In a culture still enamored of the romantic idea of writerly inspiration, hacks are only too sane, with their formulaic
helpings of the familiar. Funny that just a few degrees further on the spectrum of the prolific are graphomaniacs, who are
literally insane.
But there's a class of prolific writers who are neither nuts nor mercenaries (as all hacks are). They are the ones apt to say things
like " I'm not even faintly myself when I'm not writing," as Saul Bellow confided in a letter to Stanley Elkin. Writers who follow
their own star may be guilty of many sins and imperfections related to overproduction, but ultimately that output is a sign of
health. "Sloth in writers is always a symptom of an acute inner conflict", Cyril Connolly wrote, "especially that laziness which
renders them incapable of doing the thing which they are most looking forward to." I'd swap 'often' in for 'always'. We don't
live in a world where you have to choose between Updike (nearly 30 novels, some great, some not) and Renata Adler (two
perfect ones), but if we did I would prefer Adler's. Then again, Updike is a sign that inner conflict itself isn't required for
refinement: He claimed to be a one-draft writer who simply abandoned projects if he didn't think they were working.
Ultimately, the question "How much?" yields to the question "How good?" We worry about whether writers are too prolific only
because numbers are easier to talk about than words and what they mean.
Writing is work, but so is reading. I'm a completist, and with most writers you can read the work of several decades in a month
or two. Yet reading all of some writers would take a lifetime in itself. We may as well get this one over with first: You're
frequently charged with producing too much. That's the opening question of the 1978 Paris Review interview with Joyce Carol
Oates. "I really don't know what to say", Oates replied. "I note and can to some extent sympathize with the objurgatory tone of
certain critics, who feel that I write too much because, quite wrongly, they believe they ought to have read most of my books
before attempting to criticize a recently published one".
She's right! Like Oates, Simenon wrote both literary novels and genre books; more than 550 million copies of his books saw
print, making him a millionaire many times over. Stephen King, many of whose 54 novels are much fatter than anything
Simenon wrote, has an estimated net worth of $400 million.
If writing made everyone who could do it rich, would all writers write as many books as they could? Perhaps. The rumor has
long dogged Charles Dickens that his novels were so long because he was paid by the word, but in fact his contracts were tied
to sales. And anyway, there are other incentives: competition with friends, enemies, heroes, and your own past achievements;
the race against death and the urge to erect monuments to yourself for posterity. On the other hand, neither money nor fame
nor the prospect of posthumous glory has kept great writers from going silent. Rimbaud gave up poetry at 20 and became a
gunrunner. How J.D. Salinger spent his last five decades is still the subject of rumor. And of course the best way to hide from
the world the fact that you aren't a genius is never to write a damn thing.

QNo:-1,Correct Answer:-B
Explanation:-
The hypothesis that he initially stated in the second paragraph was that high metabolic rates can be the cause of cancer. He uses
the example of mice to support this hypothesis and uses the example of hummingbirds to rule it out.
1 From the elephant to the mouse to the hummingbird is indeed a range of sizes but the reason for citing the hummingbird is
more than just the size.
3 Pulse rate and life span have an inverse relationship. Yet the metabolic rate is ruled out as a cause for cancer.
4 The proper word should have been to resolve the paradox. That happens, btw, in the third paragraph.
QNo:-2,Correct Answer:-D
Explanation:- A parasite is usually a foreign organism that survives on the nutrition of a host. It does not have a symbiotic
relationship and can often lead to the death of the host. In short, it does more harm than good.
A hyper-tumor is a friend, in the sense that it is the enemys enemy. So calling it a parasite may be wrong.
1 the evolutionary rivalry does not have relevance to the nomenclature debate.
2 can be considered to be an objection but we can have examples to the contrary.
3 this one does have a relevance to nomenclature no distinct DNA. However the author uses the term parasite and leech in an
analogy sense.
Explanation:-
A scientist will always use correlation to try to establish a cause. If there is no correlation, it does not mean that there is no cause.
It means that a new variable has to be tried out. So after this failed experiment to establish a correlation between metabolic rate
and cancer, the only thing we can conclude is that we dont still know. (The third paragraph goes on to shed light on a possible
correlation). Hence the word that fits best is ignorance.
1 science is based more on facts than opinions

3 the understanding is flawed.
4 a possible fit, yet the paragraph does not talk about how many dots are there in the graph in other words we dont know how
big or small the sample size was. If it is a small one, then the likelihood of error is higher. If it is big, then the word sample is a
misfit.
2017 Bull CAT 08
QNo:-4,Correct Answer:-31452
Explanation:- In this case, statement 3 is the generic opening sentences. Sentence 1 takes forward the situation mentioned in
statement 3. Statement 1 then introduces the concept of resilient nation. Statement 5 explains this further and statement 2
provides the conclusion in this case.
Explanation:-
3 and 5 are comments by the same person Gardner and we realise that 3 has to follow 5 because the 3 asks a question which is
related to the point discussed in 5, that is , the assumption earlier that a single diet is right for everyone. The paragraph is talking
about how what we eat can be very important. Sentence 2, begins with the idea and 4 continues, stating that obesity may be the
norm and that sugar free Milanos will not save us, but may be a different way of looking at food. The 3 and 5 give the researcher
Christopher Gardner's views.
Explanation:-
In this case, statements 3-2-4 form a pair of connected statements. These act as introductory sentences that talk about how we
used to view our bodies and how that element has changed now. Statement 1, though related to the context, does not fit with any
of sentences and does not follow or precede any sentence.
QNo:-7,Correct Answer:-A
Explanation:-
Option 1. This is the only option that talks the statistical language. In the 3rd paragraph, the author uses a deductive line of
reasoning, tapering down from a general perspective to specific instances.
The author states that we cannot have statistical generalisations as morality depends on only those issues open to man's choice.
Hence we cannot determine a percentage nor can we forecast the future based on past experiences.
Explanation:-
Option 1. The author states that it is the code which needs to be condemned or rejected and not the person who is following the
moral code. Thus the fallacy of ad hominem is the faulty reasoning the author is attacking.
Appeal to ignorance: We have no evidence showing that he is innocent. So he must be guilty. If someone is guilty, it would indeed
be hard to find evidence showing that he is innocent. But perhaps there is no evidence to point either way, so lack of evidence is
not enough to prove guilt.
Appeal to False Authority: The speaker is actually claiming to be more expert, in the relevant subject area, than anyone else in the
room. There is also an implied claim that expertise in the area is worth having. Authority is outside his area of expertise.
QNo:-9,Correct Answer:-C
Explanation:-
Option 3. The author's philosophy, as we can understand, is that, things which are evil or black cannot be added to good or white
to make things gray. Also to understand a person both the black and white need to be considered. Hence, here the meaning of the
sentence would be to take into consideration both the sides while evaluating or judging an issue.
2017 Bull CAT 08
Explanation:-
The basic error in all these various confusions is the same: it consists of forgetting that morality deals only with issues open to
man's choice"which means: forgetting the difference between 'unable' and 'unwilling'. This permits people to translate the catch
phrase "There are no blacks and whites" into: "Men are unable to be wholly good or wholly evil" which they accept, in foggy
resignation, without questioning the metaphysical contradictions it entails.
Explanation:- In the given passage, the author of the passage is clearly critical of a certain way of thinking. Also, she goes to
explain her own viewpoint (her subjective thoughts) on the matter. These two aspects combine to provide us option 3 as the correct
answer. All the other options misinterpret the critical nature of her analysis and allege a negative tone to the author.
Explanation:- Statement I can be derived from the lines:The basic error in all these various confusions is the same: it consists of
forgetting that morality deals only with issues open to man's choice"which means: forgetting the difference between "unable" and
"unwilling".
Statement I can be derived from the lines:There are, of course, complex issues in which both sides are right in some respects and
wrong in others"and it is here that the "package deal" of pronouncing both sides "gray" is least permissible.
Statement III can be derived from the lines:If man is "gray" by nature, no moral concepts are applicable to him, including
"grayness", and no such thing as morality is possible. But if man has free will, then the fact that ten (or ten million) men made the
wrong choice, does not necessitate that the eleventh one will make it; it necessitates nothing"and proves nothing"in regard to any
given individual.
Explanation:- Option 1. The paragraph talks about fairy tales princesses and how mothers squirm when these stories are read
by the impressionable children as these stories show the heroines to be really foolish and weak. The author feels that one should
refrain from reading these stories which are sexist in nature heroic boys and foolish heroines.
Explanation:- 2 & 6, form a mandatory pair. It directly co-relate with the sentiment expressed in statement 5 and continues that grain of
thought forward. Effectively, 526 forms a trio. . Also, statement 3 is the opening sentence in this case as it is the most generic statement,
introducing the subject of the paragraph. The idea presented in 314 is contradicted by 526, which is why it follows it.
Explanation:- This is a tricky question with two close choices: options 3 and 4. Option 3 talks about innovation being a standard
and option 4 talks about how innovation is needed. Refer to these lines: Today the challenge is to build a deep capacity for
business concept innovation"the kind that produces entirely new business concepts and radically reinvents old ones. Like Deming,
Juran, and the early leaders of the quality movement, we're going to have to invent new practice.
It is clear from these lines that innovation is not a standard currently but it needs to become one. Considering this, we can clearly
see that option 4 is the correct answer here.
2017 Bull CAT 08
Explanation:- Refer to the lines: Then Dr. Deming came along and said, "We must institutionalize quality it has to be everyone's
job. That guy down there on the shop floor, with 10 years of formal education and grease under his fingernails, that guy is
responsible for quality." Looking back, we forget just how radical this idea was. In Detroit, auto execs said, "You gotta be kidding!
Our employees are saboteurs." It took many companies a decade or more to grasp and internalize quality as a capability.
It is clear from these lines that change is tough for companies to adopt and it is something that also takes time.
Explanation:- Refer to the lines: It took many companies a decade or more to grasp and internalize quality as a capability. But
the challenge is no longer quality. You've been there, done that, got the Baldrige. Neither is it time-to- market, supply chain
management, or even e-commerce.
It is clear the Baldrige is related to quality as it is thing that has been achieved.
Explanation:- Statements 2-5-1-3 form he connected set in this case. They talk about a common subject in the given case.
Statement 4 is the odd one out as it introduces a new subject in the given case.
Explanation:-
The lines 1, 3 and 4 (1-3-4) progressively talk about how questioning ones own beliefs about how the world should be create
better acceptance. On the other hand, statement 2 speaks of others expectations of you.
Explanation:-
Refer to these lines: Although her beliefs seemed to her not only reasonable but clearly true, and she could argue for them in a
rational way, they were not entirely the result of conscious thinking: the essential impulse that gave rise to all the rest was simply a
part of her. She could not help it; she had always been this way, since she was a child.
Keeping the above lines in mind, we can see that option 4 is the right answer. The paragraph highlights how the person operates
and how this is something inborn in her. She does not see the world in any other way.
Explanation:-
What does option 1 effectively mean? That the author is against the emancipation of homosexuality (which goes against what is
implied in the passage).
Option 3 targets the scientific community in general and is too general to be correct.
Option 4 finds no mention in the passage.
Option 2 is the correct answer in this case, as it represents the general feeling of the author of the passage.
2017 Bull CAT 08
Explanation:-
In the given context, the author clearly views normative thinking as something which is negative and which creates problems in
the understanding of homosexuality. Two options focus on this negative aspect: impediment (Any structure that makes progress
difficult) and curse (Wish harm upon; invoke evil upon). From the meanings of the two words, we can see that option 1 is the better
choice in the given context as curse is too extreme a word to use in the given context.
Explanation:-
In the given case, refer to the lines: They are born that way. They have become that way. They have chosen to be that way. Nature,
nurture and choice, these are three 'explanations' of homosexuality that the modern world throws up every now and then. Most
often, they are regarded as mutually exclusive alternatives, and might be released into the public domain as the result of genetic,
psychiatric or sociological research, or as politicized convictions.
The lines show that how these three are used by society and scientists to define homosexuality in a very limited and restrictive
manner. Thus, option 3 is the correct answer here. The other options are clever mutilations of the given information in the passage
but these do not match the intended meaning.
Explanation:-
Option 2 is the correct answer and it can be derived from the lines: They combine among one another to form complex and
shifting configurations most of which cannot be reduced to simple binaries like gay and straight, active and passive, masculine and
feminine. Between being absolutely heterosexual and absolutely homosexual, human sexual identity and behaviour show
innumerable gradations, variations and changes, some culturally inflected, that defy fixed definitions and categories.
You need to know the meaning of the word emasculate in the given case, which means removed or disregards in the given case.
Dualistic is a synonym for binary and emasculate is the synonym for disregard in the given option.
Explanation:- Option 1 is too generic in nature and the author is not analyzing human identify through homosexuality.
Option 2 can be derived from the lines: Are these explanations actually justifications ('We/They can't help it') or are they
something more mischievous and sinister ('If it's genetic, then maybe something can be done about it')'
Option 3 can be derived from the lines: It is deviancy from the norm that requires scientific explanation, and in civilized societies
some deviancies need empirically grounded justification. Second, the focus is always on male homosexuality.
Explanation:- This is a tough question. In this case, options 2 and 3 can be immediately ruled out as they directly co-relate with
points in the passage. Options 1 and 4 are the tough ones. In the given passage, the author talks about the approaches and studies
taken by to evaluate homosexuality. Even though there is an implied reference to psychology, it is not a clear one. This makes
option 4 the odd one out in the given case.
2017 Bull CAT 08
Explanation:- Statement 1 provides an introduction for the topic in the given case. Statements 4 and 2 provides the academic
approvals that have been used to describe computer networks. In this context, statement 3 is the odd one out. The aspect of Silicon
Valley sales is something which is absent in the given context.
Explanation:-
In the given case, option 3 represents the best summary for the paragraph, accounting for every aspect of the problem and
including the different scenarios. It accounts for the important considerations suggested by the author, and avoids statements such
as climate change is intractable or has crossed the limit (these are sentiments that are not given in the paragraph).
Explanation:- In this case, only option C is the correct answer.

Option A is not based on the passage.
Option B reverses the given information. Critics who review all of the works of prolific authors are driven to biased reviews. The
given option reverses the causation.
Option C is the central idea of the passage.
Explanation:- A 'completist' is an obsessive, typically indiscriminate, collector or fan of something. This makes option A the
correct answer.
Explanation:- Option B can be derived from the lines: We worry about whether writers are too prolific only because numbers are
easier to talk about than words and what they mean.
Option A is incorrect as it is the belief of Cyril Connolly, not the author.
Explanation:- Refer to the lines: That's because we've become suspicious of writers not when they work too much, but when they
produce too much work. There's a word for it: hackery. We think of hacks as turning out slick prose bereft of inspiration....Funny
that just a few degrees further on the spectrum of the prolific are graphomaniacs, who are literally insane.
But there's a class of prolific writers who are neither nuts nor mercenaries (as all hacks are). They are the ones apt to say things
like " I'm not even faintly myself when I'm not writing", as Saul Bellow confided in a letter to Stanley Elkin.
It is clear that the author uses the first two words to refer to writers who produce too much work.
2017 Bull CAT 08
Explanation:-
The Wiki page for the word describes 'graphomania' as: Graphomania (from Greek " writing, and " insanity), also
known as scribomania, refers to an obsessive impulse to write. When used in a specifically psychiatric context, it labels a morbid
mental condition which results in writing rambling and confused statements, often degenerating into a meaningless succession of
words or even nonsense and called then graphorrhea (cf. hypergraphia). The term 'graphomania' has been used in early 19th
century by Esquirol and later by Eugen Bleuler, becoming more or less usual Graphomania is near condition to typomania -
obsessiveness with seeing one's name in publication or with writing for being published, excessive symbolism or typology.
Explanation:- Refer to the lines: This is a recent disposition, dating from about the time of modernism " it's not like anyone faults
Daniel Defoe for his 500 published works, but we do instinctively do that for Isaac Asimov, who managed a similar tally.
It is clear from the lines that Daniel Defoe belonged to a different era.

Explanation:-
In option 1, Amol campaigning in Pune violates the condition that Amol campaigns in either Mumbai or Nagpur. So option 1
cannot be true.
Option 2 seems to satisfy all the given conditions.
In option 3, the number of people campaigning in the two cities is the same. This contradicts the information that no two cities
have the same number of party workers campaigning before the elections. So option 3 cannot be true.
In option 4, Gayatri and Hema campaign in Nagpur, which is not possible as they campaign in two different cities. So option 4
cannot be true.
The best answer is option 2.
2017 Bull CAT 08
Explanation:-
The number of party workers campaigning in Pune could be 2 or 4 so that the number of party workers campaigning in Mumbai
or Nagpur is 4 or 2 respectively.
Suppose the number of party workers campaigning in Pune is 2, one of whom is Gayatri. Hema would then campaign in a
different city along with three other party workers. Two of these must then be Bipin and Divya. Since Amol does not campaign in
Pune, the fourth party worker must be Amol, so that Chetan campaigns in Pune with Gayatri.
Suppose the number of party workers in Pune is 4, one of whom is Gayatri. Hema would then campaign in a different city with one
other party worker, who must be Amol (as he does not campaign in Pune). So, the three party workers campaigning in Pune along
with Gayatri are Bipin, Divya and Chetan.
In either case, Chetan campaigns in Pune with Gayatri. Hence option 4.

2017 Bull CAT 08
Explanation:- Since there are four subjects, we know that the total number of students is EBSM = 100 = E + B + S + M
EB ES EM BS BM SM + EBS + EBM + ESM + BSM EBSM. So, 100 = 54 + 48 + 38 + 44 24
20 16 18 20 16 + EBS + EBM + ESM + BSM EBSM, which gives us 30 = EBS + EBM + ESM +
BSM EBSM.
Consider the diagram below, where, the letter or combination of letters represents the number of students studying that subject
only or that combination of subjects only.
We can now state that 30 = e + i + m + i + h + i + j + i i = e + m + h + j + 3i.
Now, the number of students studying Economics and at least two more subjects is 20 = e + h + i + m, the number of students
studying Business Administration and at least two more subjects is 22 = e + i + j + m, the number of students studying Statistics
and at least two more subjects is 20 = e + h + i + j and the number of students studying Mathematics and at least two more
subjects is 18 = h + i + j + m.
Substituting 20 = e + h + i + m in 30 = e + m + h + j + 3i, we get 2i + j = 10, substituting 22 = e + i + j + m in 30 = e + m + h +
j + 3i, we get 2i + h = 8, substituting 20 = e + h + i + j in 30 = e + m + h + j + 3i, we get 2i + m = 10 and substituting 18 = h + i
+ j + m in 30 = e + m + h + j + 3i, we get 2i + e = 12. Adding these four equations, we get e + m + h + j + 8i = 40. Since 30 = e
+ m + h + j + 3i, we now get 5i = 10 or i = 2. Substituting this value in the earlier equations, we get j = 6, h = 4, m = 6, e = 8, b =
8, k = 4, d = 6, l = 4, f = 2, n = 6, a = 16, c = 10, g = 6 and o = 12.
We now have the percentage of students studying the various combinations of subjects as shown below -
The number of students who have chosen exactly two subjects is d + f + l + n + b + k = 6 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 4 = 30% of 50 =

Explanation:-
The number of IndicaD sold in 2005 and 2010 were 21000 and 58000 respectively.
The revenue from the sale of IndicaD in 2005 was 21000 344000 = Rs. 7224 106 = Rs. 722.4crores and
In 2010 was 58000 488000 = Rs. 28304 106 = Rs. 2830.4crores.
So, The percentage change in revenue was (2108 / 722.4) 100 = 291%.
Explanation:-
8% of the 10500 SUVs sold in 2008 were Safaris.
The total number of vehicles sold in 2008 was 1000(54 + 36 + 10.5 + 5 + 10.5 + 13) = 129000.
Thus, the Safaris formed (0.08 10500/129000) 100
= (840/129000) 100
= 0.651%.
2017 Bull CAT 08
Explanation:-
According to the graph, 14500 petrol cars were sold in 2009.
In 2005, the number of IndicaP sold was 0.42 7500 = 3150.
Since the number of IndicaP sold over the next 4 years has increased by 10% each year, we can find the number of IndicaP sold in
2009 as (1.1)4 3150 = 4612.
So, the IndicaP would have formed (4612/14500) 100 = 31.8% of the petrol cars.
Hence the answer is Option A
Explanation:-
The number of SUVs sold in 2005 and 2010 was 8000 and 12000 respectively.
This is an increase of (4000/8000) 100 = 50%.
The number of petrol cars sold in 2005 and 2010 was 7500 and 13500 respectively.
This is an increase of (6000/7500) 100 = 80%.
Thus the difference in percentages is 30%.approx
Hence the answer is option D
Explanation:- The longest diagonal starting at cube numbered 1 will end at cube numbered 343. The cubes in the first row of
the second layer are numbered 50 through 56, second row are numbered 57 through 63 and so on. After passing through cube
numbered 1, the diagonal will pass through the second cube in the second row of the second layer, i.e., cube numbered 58. This
pattern of next layer, next row, next cube will continue till cube numbered 343. It is obvious that the numbers on the seven cubes
will form an AP as 1, 58, ..., 343. This AP has first term 1, common difference (58 1) = 57. So the sum of these seven values will

Explanation:- The longest diagonal starting at cube numbered 49 will end at cube numbered 295. The cubes in the seventh row
of the first layer are numbered 43 through 49. The cubes in the sixth row of the second layer are numbered 85 through 91. After
passing through cube numbered 49, the diagonal will pass through the sixth cube in the sixth row of the second layer, i.e., cube
numbered 90. This pattern of next layer, previous row, previous cube will continue till cube numbered 295. It is obvious that the
numbers on the seven cubes will form an AP as 49, 90, 131, ..., 295. This AP has first term 49, common difference (90 49) = 41.
So the sum of these seven values will be

Explanation:-
Doctor (H) sits exactly between the Teacher (F) and the Engineer (C).
Explanation:-
Doctor (H) sits second to the right of Businessman (A).
Explanation:-
Statement A:
As for calculating the total time we need to know the rate of each pipe, hence we cannot calculate the answer from statement A,
alone as rate of flow of H is not known.
Statement B:
Here rate of flow of F and G is not known; hence Statement B alone is not sufficient to calculate the answer.
But combining two we get that G can fill the tank in 3 hrs at the rate of 6 liters/sec. Hence the capacity of the cistern = 3 60
60 6 = 64800 liters. Hence time required = 64800/(12+9+6) = 2400 seconds = 40 min. So tank will be filled at 10:40 am.
Hence both statements are required.
Explanation:- 2017 Bull CAT 08
In 2005-06
Total sum of the rates of growth of all the sectors = 7.2 + 8.7 + 8.9 + 16.5 + 7.7 + 15.6 + 7.7 + 7.9 = 80.2 %
Given that, GDP = Average of the sum of rates growth of all sectors.
So, sum of the rate of growth of all the sectors = 8.96 9 = 80.64
So, rate of growth of Agriculture & Allied in 2005-06 = 0.44 or 0.4
(Because rate of all the sectors is always calculated up to 1 decimal point)
In XI Plan, GDP = (2.5 + 7.1 + 8.6 + 7.6 + 12.9 + 8.5 + 12.3 + 9.5 + 6.8)/9 = (75.8)/9 = 8.42 %
In X Plan, sum of the rates of growth of all the sectors = 5.97 9 = 53.73 or 53.7
Given that , the rate of growth of Trade & Hotels is 3 times more than the rate of growth of Agriculture in the X Plan, so let the
value of Rate of growth of agriculture be a,
Rate of Trade & Hotels = 4a
The total sum of rates of growth of all the sectors in X Plan = a + 4 + 3.3 + 4.8 + 7.1 + 4a + 8.9 + 8 + 7.7
= 43.8 + 5a = 53.7
So a = 1.98 or 2.0
Hence, 4a = 8.0
In 2003-04
Sum of the rate of growth of all sectors = 7.52 9 = 67.68 or 67.7
Let's assume the rate of growth of financing, Real Est, Housing be b
So the rate of growth of Mining = 1.2b
The total sum of rate of growth of all the sectors is X plan = 7.2 + 1.2b + 6.2 + 4.7 + 7.9 + 6.9 + 14.1 + b + 3.9
= 50.9 + 2.2b
Now, 50.9 + 2.2b = 67.7
Or, b = 7.63 or 7.6
1.2b = 9.12 or 9.1
In 2004-05, sum of the rate of growth of all the sectors = 8.1 9 = 72.9
Given that the ratio of the rate of growth of Electricity to Community in 2004-05 is 8:9
So let's assume the value of rate of growth of Electricity = 8c and value of rate of growth of Community = 9c
Now the total sum of rate of growth of all the sectors = 10 + 3.1 + 6.6 + 8c + 12 + 10.1 + 15.3 + 5.6 + 9c = 62.7 + 17c
So, 62.7 + 17c = 72.9
c = 0.6
So, the value of rate of growth of Electricity = 8 0.6 = 4.8%
The value of rate of growth of Community = 9 0.6 = 5.4%
In 2006-07
Given that the ratio of the rate of growth of Community in 2004-05 to 2006-07 is 3:4
Value of rate of growth of Community in 2004-05 = 5.4%
So, the value of Community in 2006-07 = (5.4 4)/3 = 1.8 4 = 7.2
Now, the total sum of the rate of growth of all the sectors in 2006-07 = 5.9 + 4.9 + 9 + 4.7 + 16.5 + 9.4 + 14.6 + 11.4 + 7.2
= 83.6
So the GDP growth rate = 83.6/9 = 9.28%

Rate of growth of agriculture in X Plan = 2.0 %

Rate of growth of agriculture in 2005-06 = 0.4 %
The required ratio = 2: 0.4 = 5: 1
Explanation:-
Suppose the simple average of the rates of growth of Manufacturing from 2003 - 04 to 2007 - 08 were x.
Then, (6.2 + 6.6 + 8.7 + x + 12)/5 = x
5x = x + 33.5
4x = 33.5
x = 8.375 or 8.4.
So the growth rate of Manufacturing in 2006 - 07 would be 8.4.
Suppose the simple average of the rates of growth of Community from 2003 - 04 to 2007 - 08 were y.
Then, (3.9 + y + 7.9 + y + 6.9)/5 = y
5y = 2y + 18.7
3y = 18.7
y = 6.233 or 6.2.
So the growth rate of Community in 2004 - 05 and 2006 - 07 would both be 6.2.
Using these values, the GDP in 2006 - 07 would be (5.9 + 4.9 + 8.4 + 4.7 + 16.5 + 9.4 + 14.6 + 11.4 + 6.2)/9 = 82/9 = 9.11
Explanation:-
In 2005-06
Total sum of the rates of growth of all the sectors = 7.2 + 8.7 + 8.9 + 16.5 + 7.7 + 15.6 + 7.7 + 7.9 = 80.2 %
Given that, GDP = Average of the sum of rates growth of all sectors.
So, sum of the rate of growth of all the sectors = 8.96 9 = 80.64
So, rate of growth of Agriculture & Allied in 2005-06 = 0.44 or 0.4
(Because rate of all the sectors is always calculated up to 1 decimal point)
In XI Plan, GDP = (2.5 + 7.1 + 8.6 + 7.6 + 12.9 + 8.5 + 12.3 + 9.5 + 6.8)/9 = (75.8)/9 = 8.42 %
In X Plan, sum of the rates of growth of all the sectors = 5.97 9 = 53.73 or 53.7
Given that , the rate of growth of Trade & Hotels is 3 times more than the rate of growth of Agriculture in the X Plan, so let the
value of Rate of growth of agriculture be a,
Rate of Trade & Hotels = 4a
The total sum of rates of growth of all the sectors in X Plan = a + 4 + 3.3 + 4.8 + 7.1 + 4a + 8.9 + 8 + 7.7
= 43.8 + 5a = 53.7
So a = 1.98 or 2.0
Hence, 4a = 8.0
In 2003-04
Sum of the rate of growth of all sectors = 7.52 9 = 67.68 or 67.7
Let's assume the rate of growth of financing, Real Est, Housing be b
So the rate of growth of Mining = 1.2b
The total sum of rate of growth of all the sectors is X plan = 7.2 + 1.2b + 6.2 + 4.7 + 7.9 + 6.9 + 14.1 + b + 3.9
= 50.9 + 2.2b
2017 Bull CAT 08
Now, 50.9 + 2.2b = 67.7
Or, b = 7.63 or 7.6
1.2b = 9.12 or 9.1
In 2004-05, sum of the rate of growth of all the sectors = 8.1 9 = 72.9
Given that the ratio of the rate of growth of Electricity to Community in 2004-05 is 8:9
So let's assume the value of rate of growth of Electricity = 8c and value of rate of growth of Community = 9c
Now the total sum of rate of growth of all the sectors = 10 + 3.1 + 6.6 + 8c + 12 + 10.1 + 15.3 + 5.6 + 9c
= 62.1 + 17c
So, 62.1 + 17c = 72.9
c = 0.63 or 0.6
So, the value of rate of growth of Electricity = 8 0.6 = 4.8%
The value of rate of growth of Community = 9 0.6 = 5.4%
In 2006-07
Given that the ratio of the rate of growth of Community in 2004-05 to 2006-07 is 3:4
Value of rate of growth of Community in 2004-05 = 5.4%
So, the value of Community in 2006-07 = (5.4 4)/3 = 1.8 4 = 7.2
Now, the total sum of the rate of growth of all the sectors in 2006-07 = 5.9 + 4.9 + 9 + 4.7 + 16.5 + 9.4 + 14.6 + 11.4 + 7.2
= 83.6
So the GDP growth rate = 83.6/9 = 9.28%

Amt of alcohol at the end of first process = 12 lt.
Amt of alcohol at the end of second process = 11 lt.
Volume of the 1st vessel at end of process 1 = 20 lt.
Volume at the end of process 2 = 21 lt
The first container is 11/21 alcohol.

Hence the answer is option C

Explanation:-
Let the average weights of students in groups P and Q be p and q respectively. Total weights of students in groups P and Q are 20p
and 30q respectively. Let the weight of the student who shifted be w, so the average weights of groups P and Q
Alternative method:
If a higher-average group joins or a lower-average group leaves, the average increases.
If a lower-average group joins or a higher-average group leaves, the average decreases.
The student leaves P and the average decreases. Therefore the student's weight is more than the initial weight of P. He joins Q and
the average increases. Therefore, the student's weight is more than the initial (or final) average weight of Q.
Explanation:-
Infinite values of x are possible.
Product of different integers is 4.
Integers can be 2, 1, -1 and -2.
Consider one case where x = 0, a = -2, b = -1, c = 1, d = 2.
Similarly x = 1, a = -1,b = 0,c = 2,d = 3 and
x = 2, a = 0, b = 1, c = 3, d = 4 also satisfy the equation.
We can go on increasing the value of each variable by one to get infinite solutions.
Explanation:- ab = a + b or a(b - 1) = b or a =
Now, putting b = , a = 5. And, putting b = 5, a =
Any value of 'b' between and 5 will give a value of a' that is in the required range.
So, there are many such pairs.
2017 Bull CAT 08
Explanation:-
Suppose x = a2 + a 2 and y = 2a2 a 1. Adding the two expressions yields (x + y) = a2 + a 2 + 2a2 a 1 = 3a2 3 = 3(a2
1). We can now rewrite the original expression as x3 + y3 = (x + y)3. In other words, x3 + y3 = x3 + y3 + 3xy(x + y). Simplifying this
expression, we get xy(x + y) = 0. This tells us that x = 0 or y = 0 or (x + y) = 0. If x = 0, then a2 + a 2 = (a + 2)(a 1) = 0 which
yields a = 2 or 1. If y = 0, then 2a2 a 1 = (2a + 1)(a 1) = 0, which yields a = 1/2 or 1. If (x + y) = 0, then 3(a2 1) = 3(a +
1)(a 1) = 0, which yields a = 1 or 1. So, we see that a can take values 2, 1, 1/2 or 1. Thus, 3a2 + 5a 10 can take values 8,
12, 47/4 and 2 respectively. Hence option 4.

Explanation:- Letxbe the number of balls in a small bag, andythe number of balls in a large bag.
7x + 18y = 233
Its solutions for (x, y) are (5, 11) and (23, 4) But we reject (23, 4) as in this case the number of balls in bigger bag are less than the
smaller bag.
So the solution isx= 5 andy= 11.
So the small bags of balls contained five each, and the large bags contained eleven each.
Therefore, large bag contains six more balls than those of the small bag.
Explanation:-
The long method would be to multiply the original expression and the answer choices and compare. A simpler solution would be to
assume values for x, y and z and check which answer choice gives the same value as the original expression. Suppose x = 1, y = 2
and z = 3. The value of the original expression is 6(3 + 6 + 2) 6 = 60. Option 1 = 3 4 5 = 60. Option 2 = 1 2 1 = 2.
Option 3 = (2 + 3 + 6) 6 = 66. Option 4 = 62 = 36. Thus the correct answer is option 1.

Consider 3-digit integers.
Suppose the 1st digit takes 8 values from 1 to 8 and the other two digits are 9 each.
We get 8 such numbers.
Now, suppose the integers starts with 9.
Then one of the other digits is a 9 and the other digit takes 9 values from 0 to 8.
Since these digits can be arranged in 2 different ways, there are 2 9 = 18 such integers.
So, there are 8 + 18 = 26 three-digit integers which contain exactly two 9s.
Consider 4-digit integers.
The first digit can take 8 values from 1 to 8. Two of the remaining three digits are 9 each and the third digit can take 9 values from
0 to 8. These 3 digits can be arranged in 3 ways.
So, there are 8 3 9 = 216 such integers.
Suppose the 1st digit is 9. Then one of the remaining digits is a 9 and the other two digits can take 9 values from 0 to 8 each. These
3 digits can be arranged in 3 different ways.
So there are 3 9 9 = 243 such integers.
So there are 216 + 243 = 459 four-digit integers which contain exactly two 9s.
Thus there are 26 + 459 = 485 integers between 100 and 10000 which contain exactly two 9s.

log 2150 = 150 log 2 = 150 0.3010 = 45.15. So, 2150 has 46 digits.
Explanation:- Pick a side of length a. It shares a vertex with at least one side of length b. Thus, there
is a vertex P where one side has length a and the other side has length b. Moreover, the same is true for the opposite vertex, R,
since it has the other sides of the quadrilateral.
Draw a diagonal between the other vertices, Q and S. Now QPS and QRS are triangles
with equal side lengths.
The area of each triangle can be found by A =1/2ab sin , where is the angle between the sides of length a and b. Maximally, sin
= 1 when we have right triangles, so the maximum area of the quadrilateral is 2(1/2) ab = ab.

Instead of 1, 1.6 people incur a hospitalization bill.
So cost of insurance firm = 12000 1.6 = 19200
Now let the total amount of annual premium be x
Therefore Total cost of the firm = 19200 + 0.1x
Since the firm wants to maintain same profit per person, therefore
x (19200 + 0.1x) = 10500
0.9x = 29700 x = 33000
Therefore premium to be charged per person if the firm wants to maintain the same level of profit
= 33000/100 = 330
Hence the answer is option C

Consider E1. The probability that the chip numbered 1 is removed first is 1/n. There are now (n 1) chips and the probability that
the chip numbered 2 is removed is now 1/(n 1). Using the same logic, the probability that the chips removed in E1 follow the
sequence 1, 2, , n is P1 = (1/n) [1/(n 1)] [1/(n 2)] 1 = 1/n!.
Consider E2. The probability that the chip numbered 1 is removed first is 1/n. This chip is then replaced and the box still contains n
chips. The probability that the chip numbered 2 is now removed is 1/n. Using the same logic, the probability that the chips
removed in E2 follow the sequence 1, 2, , n is P2 = (1/n) (1/n) n times = 1/nn.
If n = 1, then P1 = P2. However, if n > 2, then P1 > P2. We can therefore conclude that P1 > P2.
