Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Passage 1
India has not gained much from being in the WTO and resisted opening up its agricultural sector because of millions of small and marginal farmers who would not be able to withstand competition from abroad. India has faced flak in the past about its agricultural subsidies which are far lower than the subsidies the US, Canada and the EU give to their farmers. But their subsidies are supposed to be direct cash subsidies and are allowed under the WTO’s ‘Green Box’. Most of the subsidies India gives to farmers (MSP, fertiliser) come under ‘Amber Box’ and there is pressure to make them ‘Green Box’ compliable. India has had problems with the way the WTO calculates the MSP for Indian farmers.
- Which of the following is the most logical, accurate and critical inference that can be drawn from the passage?
Correct
Ans. B.
Statement A is wrong as then the rule of trade would break down. Statement C is wrong as the passage states that India gives subsidies which are far lower than those given by the developed countries. Statement D is wrong as the passage does not talk about the services sector. Hence B is the most accurate answer.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
A student was asked to divide a number by 6 and add 12 to the quotient. He, however, first added 12 to the number and then divided it by 6, getting 112 as the answer. The correct answer should have been :
Correct
Solution: A
Let the number be x. Then, as per the operation undertook by the student, we have (x+12)/6 = 112 .
Therefore x= 660.
Hence, correct answer should have been (660/6)+12 =122.
Incorrect
Solution: A
Let the number be x. Then, as per the operation undertook by the student, we have (x+12)/6 = 112 .
Therefore x= 660.
Hence, correct answer should have been (660/6)+12 =122.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
If A and B together can complete a job in 18 days, while it takes A 30 days to complete the same job while working alone, then in how many days can B complete the job while working alone?
Correct
Solution: C
A and B together can complete a job in 18 days. So, in one day they will complete 1/18 th part of the job.
Similarly, it takes A 30 days to complete the same job while working alone. Hence, in one day it will complete 1/30th part of the job.
Hence, part of the job completed by B in one day = (1/18) – (1/30) = 1/45th
So B will take 45 days to complete the job while working alone.Incorrect
Solution: C
A and B together can complete a job in 18 days. So, in one day they will complete 1/18 th part of the job.
Similarly, it takes A 30 days to complete the same job while working alone. Hence, in one day it will complete 1/30th part of the job.
Hence, part of the job completed by B in one day = (1/18) – (1/30) = 1/45th
So B will take 45 days to complete the job while working alone. -
Question 4 of 5
4. Question
A trader allows two successive discounts of 10% and 20%. If he sells the article for Rs. 144, then what is the marked price of the article?
Correct
Solution: B
Always the discount is provided on marked price. Here 2 successive discounts are given.
Let us assume that marked price is M.
So first discount is 10%. Thus the price becomes 9/10 th. Andsecond discount is 20 %. Thus, price becomes 8/10.
After allowing these two discounts price comes out to be 144.
Now representing this mathematically:
M × 9/10 × 8/10 = 144
M × 72/100 =144
M= 144 ×100/72
M= 200Hence, option (b) is correct.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
A 3-digit number 4a3 is added to another 3 digit number 984 to give a four digit number 13b7 which is divisible by 11. Then, (a + b) = ?
Correct
Solution: C
As per the given data , 4 a 3 + 9 8 4 = 13b7
Therefore, a+8= b or b-a=8
Since 13b7 is divisible by 11, (7+3) –(b+1)=0.
Therefore, b=9.
As the value b-a=8, the value of a=1.
Therefore, value of (a+b)=(1+9)=10.
Hence , option (c) is correct.
