Question 1 of 5
1. Question
With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made:
I. The diversification of rural employment beyond agriculture is a natural and necessary process of economic development.
II. Institutional neglect of non-farm activities is the primary cause of rural unemployment in India.Which of the above assumptions is/are valid?
Correct
Answer: (a)
Explanation:
Assumption I is correct: The passage describes the growth of rural non-farm activities as an ongoing transformation that contributes significantly to household incomes. The author views it as a necessary shift that demands policy attention, implying that such diversification is a normal part of development.
Assumption II is incorrect: The passage does not state that “institutional neglect” is the primary cause of unemployment. It only mentions that the lack of institutional support and skills training limits the quality and security of jobs, not that it solely causes unemployment. The word “primary” makes the assumption too strong.
Therefore, only Assumption I is valid, making option (a) correct.Incorrect

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
A family consists of a couple, their two sons and one daughter, and the wife of elder son with her two children (one son and one daughter). How many females are there in the family?
Correct
Answer: (c)
Solution:
Break down the info:- Couple = Husband (male) + Wife (female)
- Two sons = 2 males
- One daughter = 1 female
- Elder son’s wife = 1 female
- Elder son’s two children = 1 son (male) + 1 daughter (female)
Now count females: Wife (1) + Daughter (1) + Son’s wife (1) + Granddaughter (1) = 4 females.
Hence, option (c) is correct.
Incorrect
Answer: (c)
Solution:
Break down the info:- Couple = Husband (male) + Wife (female)
- Two sons = 2 males
- One daughter = 1 female
- Elder son’s wife = 1 female
- Elder son’s two children = 1 son (male) + 1 daughter (female)
Now count females: Wife (1) + Daughter (1) + Son’s wife (1) + Granddaughter (1) = 4 females.
Hence, option (c) is correct.

Question: Is K brother of M?
Statement-1: K and M are siblings.
Statement-2: K is male.Correct
Solution: C
Given that,
From Statement-1: K and M are siblings (gender of K unknown). Hence Statement-1 alone is not sufficient.
Statement-2: K is male (no relation to M given). Hence Statement-2 alone is not sufficient.
Combining both statements: K is male and K and M are siblings ⇒ K is the brother of M. Hence together they are sufficient.
Hence option (c) is correct.
Incorrect
Solution: C
Given that,
From Statement-1: K and M are siblings (gender of K unknown). Hence Statement-1 alone is not sufficient.
Statement-2: K is male (no relation to M given). Hence Statement-2 alone is not sufficient.
Combining both statements: K is male and K and M are siblings ⇒ K is the brother of M. Hence together they are sufficient.
Hence option (c) is correct.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Riya visits the club every 11th day; Karan every 22nd day; Meera every 13th day. If all three met on a Saturday, then on which day will they meet again?
Correct
Solution: B
Given that,
Riya visits the club on every 11th day.
Karan visits on every 22nd day.
Meera visits on every 13th day.
They all meet on Saturday.Now,
Taking LCM = 11, 22, 13 = 286
Thus all meet on the 286th day.
1st meeting is on Saturday
So, second meeting = 286/7 = 40 weeks and 6 odd days
Thus second meeting is on Saturday + 6 odd days = Friday
Hence option (b) is correct

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
If in a particular year 14th February is a Sunday, then which one of the following is correct?
Correct
Solution: A
Given that,
14th February is a Sunday
There are two possibilities if the year is a leap year or not a leap year
Possibility 1: Leap year
Total Number of days from 14th Feb to 14th Aug = (15 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31) = 168; including 14 Aug gives 182/7 = 26 weeks and 0 odd days
So, 14th August is Sunday
Possibility 2: Not a Leap year
Total Number of days from 14th Feb to 14th Aug = (14 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31) = 167; including 14 Aug gives 181/7 = 25 weeks and 6 odd days
So, 14th August is Sunday + 6 odd days = Saturday
Hence option (a) is correct
Incorrect
Solution: A
Given that,
14th February is a Sunday
There are two possibilities if the year is a leap year or not a leap year
Possibility 1: Leap year
Total Number of days from 14th Feb to 14th Aug = (15 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31) = 168; including 14 Aug gives 182/7 = 26 weeks and 0 odd days
So, 14th August is Sunday
Possibility 2: Not a Leap year
Total Number of days from 14th Feb to 14th Aug = (14 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31) = 167; including 14 Aug gives 181/7 = 25 weeks and 6 odd days
So, 14th August is Sunday + 6 odd days = Saturday
Hence option (a) is correct
