Question 1 of 6
1. Question
A sum of money is to be distributed among A, B, C, D in the proportion of 5 : 2 : 4 : 3. If C gets Rs. 1000 more than D, what is B’s share? Correct
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let the shares of A, B, C and D be Rs. 5x, Rs. 2x, Rs. 4x and Rs. 3x respectively.
Then, 4x – 3x = 1000
x = 1000.
B’s share = Rs. 2x = Rs. (2 x 1000) = Rs. 2000.
Incorrect
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let the shares of A, B, C and D be Rs. 5x, Rs. 2x, Rs. 4x and Rs. 3x respectively.
Then, 4x – 3x = 1000
x = 1000.
B’s share = Rs. 2x = Rs. (2 x 1000) = Rs. 2000.

Question 3 of 6
3. Question
In a mixture 60 litres, the ratio of milk and water 2 : 1. If this ratio is to be 1 : 2, then the quantity of water to be further added is: Correct
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Quantity of milk = 60 x 2 litres = 40 litres. 3 Quantity of water in it = (60- 40) litres = 20 litres.
New ratio = 1 : 2
Let quantity of water to be added further be x litres.
Then, milk : water = 40 . 20 + x Now, 40 = 1 20 + x 2 20 + x = 80
x = 60.
Quantity of water to be added = 60 litres.
Incorrect
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Quantity of milk = 60 x 2 litres = 40 litres. 3 Quantity of water in it = (60- 40) litres = 20 litres.
New ratio = 1 : 2
Let quantity of water to be added further be x litres.
Then, milk : water = 40 . 20 + x Now, 40 = 1 20 + x 2 20 + x = 80
x = 60.
Quantity of water to be added = 60 litres.

Question 5 of 6
5. Question
Salaries of Ravi and Sumit are in the ratio 2 : 3. If the salary of each is increased by Rs. 4000, the new ratio becomes 40 : 57. What is Sumit’s salary?
Correct
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Let the original salaries of Ravi and Sumit be Rs. 2x and Rs. 3x respectively.
Then, 2x + 4000 = 40 3x + 4000 57 57(2x + 4000) = 40(3x + 4000)
6x = 68,000
3x = 34,000
Sumit’s present salary = (3x + 4000) = Rs.(34000 + 4000) = Rs. 38,000.
Incorrect
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Let the original salaries of Ravi and Sumit be Rs. 2x and Rs. 3x respectively.
Then, 2x + 4000 = 40 3x + 4000 57 57(2x + 4000) = 40(3x + 4000)
6x = 68,000
3x = 34,000
Sumit’s present salary = (3x + 4000) = Rs.(34000 + 4000) = Rs. 38,000.

Question 6 of 6
6. Question
Read the following passages and answer the questions that follow. Your answer should be based on the passage only
Passage 1—
In high-income economies, a national minimum wage policy does raise incomes of low-wage workers, given better enforcement and governance standards. It also increases demand, with the propensity to consume higher at lower income levels. The Indian Constitution defines a ‘living wage’, and we have the Minimum Wages Act, 1948. But compliance has been weak, as abundant underemployed farm labour depresses wages.
- On the basis of above passage, following assumptions have been made:
- Low wages, constrains aggregate demand and hurt welfare of workers
- High wages can lead to unemployment since firms would be unable to pay more wages
Which of the above assumptions is/are valid?
Correct
Answer : A
Assumption is an argument or imaginary claim that can be surely based on the claims given in the passage. The passage informs us various positive consequences of having minimum wages i.e. wages that are fair and adequate,
- It will increase income of workers—so low wages means welfare of workers is hit
- High wage means high consumption and so high demand—so low wage affects demand
Statement 1 is therefore correct
There is no mentioning of link between high wages and unemployment. While it is a normal perception, it is not given in the passage, hence it cannot be assumed. 2 is wrong.
This is not a premise based on the passage. Hence, 1 only or A is the answer.
