Solutions:
1. A and B have errors
(A): The statement was made on Wednesday. So, the tense would be Simple Past, not
Simple Present. The correct verb to be used is said.
(B): a U.N. Security Council statements has an error. The determiner a is used for
a singular noun, not plural.
2. A and C have errors.

(A): The usage of had urged is incorrect. A past perfect tense is only used when a point
of time in the past is defined in the sentence.
(C): Also, the use of boisterous is wrong in the context of the sentence. Boisterous means
Noisy, energetic and cheerful. The correct word to be used is grave.
3. C has an error
The usage of rattled is wrong in the context of the sentence.
Rattle means to talk aimlessly. The appropriate word could have been solved.
4. A, B and C have an error.

A): The usage of intermittent is incorrect in the context of the sentence.
Intermittent means Something Occurring at irregular intervals; not continuous or
steady.
The correct word to be used is ongoing.
(B): Using says is grammatically incorrect. The sentence consists of verb phrases, were
intermittent and had been repulsed, having past tense. So, the correct form of verb to
be used is said.
(C): The usage of repulsed is incorrect in the context of the sentence because generally
a Foreign Minister of another country is invited to a host country, not repulsed. The
correct verb to be used is invited.
5. C has an error
(C): The usage of calling is incorrect because its usage makes the sentence a
fragment (groups of words incapable to express a complete idea).
The word should instead be replaced by called.
6. B and C have errors.

B: The usage of the preposition of is incorrect. The correct preposition to be used is
with.
C: Exerts is an incorrect verb to be used. Notice, the verb exert, like the verb discuss,
is a part of an infinitive and follow to.
The correct verb-form to be used is exert.
7. A, B, C and D have errors.

The usage of articles is incorrect in A, B, C and D and have been highlighted below
In the nod to China, (A) the Myanmar statement said (B) it appreciated a stand taken by
some members of the Security Council (C) who upheld a principle of non-interference in
the internal affairs of sovereign countries (D).
The article a is used before an indefinite noun while the article The is used before
a definite noun.
A and B: The nouns nod and Myanmar statement are not a definite. So, the correct
article to be used is a.
C and D: The noun stand and principle are definite nouns. They are made definite by
the phrase non-interference in the internal affairs of sovereign countries. The correct
article to be used is the.
8. From the options, we understand that there is no suspicious on D to have an error.

So, D is error-free.
A: To appeasing council veto powers Russia and China
Note, here, the phrase to appeasing is an infinitive. To is not functioning as the
preposition. So, appease would follow to instead of appeasing.
B: Britain and France authorized
The usage of the word authorized is incorrect in the context of the sentence. Because if
the Security Council would have adopted the resolution, then they wouldnt have agreed
on adopting a formal statement as written in the part D. Also, because there is no
suspicion on D to have an error, B would have an error.
The correct word should be dropped.
C: a push of the Security Council to adopt a resolution on the Myanmar situation
The usage of the preposition of is incorrect in the context of the sentence. The correct
preposition to be used is for. The former would suggest that the Security Council
pushes her members to adopt a resolution, but the reality is Members of the Security
Council decides for the Security Council to adopt a resolution.
9. The usage of the preposition on is incorrect. The correct preposition to use is of.
Of ethnic cleansing to drive
10. The sentence do not contain any grammatical error.

Note, goaded means to provoke someone, and its usage is correct in the sentence.
11. Rural Texas church is a singular indefinite noun, so, should be preceded by an
indefinite article which is a. Among the options, A is the correct answer.
12. The phrase on a history of violence qualifies the pronoun someone and is
functioning as an adjective, but on is not the correct preposition to be used.
An on is a preposition which suggests us on the location of something which is in
physically contact with and supported by a surface, having (the thing mentioned) as a
topic, as a member of (a committee, jury, or other body), having (the thing mentioned)
as a target, aim, or focus etc.
The particle phrase having a history and the prepositional phrase with a
history correctly (grammatically and idiomatically) informs us on the quality that
someone possesses.
13. on is not the correct preposition to be used with the verb drove.
Though the usage of in doesnt violate the grammatical rules in the sentence, it does
violate the context- a car wouldnt be driven in the Church.
Among the options, both the phrases up to and until are synonyms and appropriately
fits into the context of the sentence.
14. shoot as a noun means a young branch or sucker springing from the main stock
of a tree or other plant. or an occasion when a group of people hunt and shoot game
for sport. None of the meaning fits into the context of the sentence because shoot as a
verb cannot follow another verb kept. The verb kept needs to be followed by an object
(noun or pronoun or a phrase functioning as a noun or pronoun).
Shooting is a gerund that functions as a noun, and on shooting is a prepositional
phrase which also appropriately fits into the context of the sentence. Both of them
correctly improves the sentence.
15. Shooting (a gerund) as a noun means the action or practice of shooting. It cannot
be equivalent to a meaning of mental health problem, but a mental health problem can
be a reason for an act of shooting.
Due to as a phrase means Caused by or ascribable to, for as a preposition describes
the thing mentioned as a reason or cause, and because of as a phrase means on
account of or by reason of.
All of these three correctly fits into the context of the sentence, and grammatically and
idiomatically explains the meaning that the sentence intends to explain.
16. As per the first paragraph of the passage, the definition of education is given and
from the general perception, we can conclude that it is the 'transferral' (transfer) of
knowledge, habits and skills from one generation to another.
17. Usually, knowledge based on a curriculum (syllabus) is 'institutionalised' as it

depends on a particular institution's vision and ideas.
18. A highly educated labour force always helps in increasing the level of the economic
growth, i.e., it 'stimulates' the economic growth.
19. According to the second paragraph of the passage, a highly educated labour force
can easily adapt to new working environments and conditions and from this, we can
deduce that it is obvious, i.e., it is 'evident' that education serves as the driving force for
innovation of new products and services.
20. Educated workers will generally exchange ideas in the workplace, i.e., they
will 'trade' ideas. Hence, the fourth option is the correct answer.
21. It is quite clear that the whole of the third paragraph of the passage is talking about
'poverty' by saying that education creates employment opportunities for educated
people, thereby improving their living standards.
22. In the fourth paragraph of the passage, it is being hinted that education
further reduces poverty through skills acquired in the learning process and out of the
given options, only the word 'alleviates' means the same thing.
23. The phrase 'one will also be investing' after the blank makes it clear that the
word 'investing' is used in the sentence before it too and hence, it will be apt choice to be
filled in the blank.
24. According to the fourth paragraph of the passage, the advanced technology used for
conducting surgery has replaced traditional methods and this has seen an improvement
in peoples general health and an increased life expectancy. Also, most developing
countries have a low life expectancy compared to developed countries. From this, we
can credit or hold responsible the high illiteracy levels in the developing countries and
hence, the word 'attributed' can be filled in the blank as it means the same.
25. It is quite evident from the whole passage that improving literacy levels
in powerless or weaker societies will go a long way in improving human living
standards. Out of the given options, only the word 'marginalised' means the same and
hence, it will be the correct answer.
26. To find the third sentence in the arrangement, we will have to find the first two
sentences.
The first sentence of the arrangement will be the option E as it introduces us to the main
term and idea of the paragraph, i.e., Cyberslacking in the office.
The second sentence in the arrangement will be the option C as it further gives out the
consequence of cyberslacking in the office.
Hence, the third sentence will be the option A as it contains the
word 'hence', concluding the definition and its immediate consequence in the office.
27. The first sentence of the arrangement will be the option E as it introduces us to the
main term and idea of the paragraph, i.e., Cyberslacking in the office.
28. To find the fourth sentence in the arrangement, we will have to find the first three
sentences.
The third sentence will be the option A as it contains the word 'hence', concluding the
definition and its immediate consequence in the office.
The fourth sentence will then be the option F as it now introduces us to the fact that
some companies use surveillance to monitor what their employees are doing online.
29. To find the last sentence in the arrangement, we will have to find the first five
sentences.
The third sentence will be the option A as it contains the word 'hence', concluding the
definition and its immediate consequence in the office.
The fourth sentence will then be the option F as it now introduces us to the fact that
some companies use surveillance to monitor what their employees are doing online.
The fifth option will be the option B as it is in the flow of the previous sentence only, i.e.,
the result of a high level of surveillance in the office.
Hence, the last sentence of the arrangement will be the option D as it is the only one left
and also, it is giving a completely new and positive point about cyberslacking unlike the
previous sentences.
30. The first sentence of the arrangement will be the option E as it introduces us to the
main term and idea of the paragraph, i.e., Cyberslacking in the office.
Hence, the second sentence in the arrangement will be the option C as it further gives
out the consequence of cyberslacking in the office.
31. According to the second paragraph of the passage, epiphanies are often are triggered
by a new and key piece of information, but importantly, a depth of prior knowledge is
required to allow the leap of understanding. Out of the given options, only the second
option matches this idea.
32. According to the second paragraph of the passage, epiphany is the result of
significant work on the part of the discoverer and is only the satisfying result of a long
process and this means that it comes suddenly after this hard work. Hence, the second
option will be the correct answer.
33. As per the third paragraph of the passage, the discovery or the epiphany seems to
come suddenly from the outside and hence, the fourth option is the most appropriate
one.
34. In the third paragraph of the passage, the Joycean epiphany has been defined as "a
sudden spiritual manifestation, whether from some object, scene, event, or memorable
phase of the mind the manifestation being out of proportion to the significance or
strictly logical relevance of whatever produce it". Hence, from this and from the whole
passage, we can deduce that a normal or a general epiphany comes out of prior
knowledge and the Joycean epiphany is the result of spirituality.
35. In the third paragraph of the passage, the protagonists in James Joyce's short story,
Dubliners, came to sudden recognitions that changed their view of themselves and/or
their social conditions. Hence, the second option will be the correct answer in lieu of
this.
36. According to the fourth paragraph of the passage, Scott Berkun notes that "the most
useful way to think of an epiphany is an occasional bonus of working on tough
problems". Hence, the fourth option will be the correct answer.
37. The word 'realization' means awareness and out of the given options that mean its
opposite, only the word 'discernment' means the same.
38. The word 'predisposition' means a tendency and out of the given options that are
it's synonyms, only the word 'unwillingness' is it's opposite, which means to resist.
39. The word 'manifestation' means to display or to demonstrate and out of the given
options that mean it's opposite, only the word 'exposition' is it's synonym.
40. The word 'expounded' means to present something and out of the given options that
are its synonyms, only the word 'obfuscated' means to be confused hence, it is its
antonym.
41. The correct answer is Option 3, Introduction to Social networking.

In the given passage the introduction and benefits of Social networking are mentioned,
so, the key idea of the passage should be 'Introduction to Social networking'.
42. 'The correct answer is Option 1, i.e. 'The fraudulent practice of sending emails'.
The other options are not appropriate here as, 'Connect as or operate a network' is
known as 'Networking'.
'The process of assigning a code to something for classification or identification' is
known as 'Coding'.
'Convert (a coded message) into intelligible language' is known as 'Decoding'.
'The state of being free from danger or threat' means 'Security'.
43. The correct answer is Option 4, i.e. 'The more information a person posts, the more
information becomes available for a potential compromise by those
with malicious intentions'.
As it is clearly mentioned in the above passage, 'Security and privacy related to social
networking sites are fundamentally behavioural issues, not technology issues. The more
information a person posts, the more information becomes available for a potential
compromise by those with malicious intentions'.
44. The correct answer is Option 2, i.e. 'Closure'.

'Breach' means 'an act of breaking or failing to observe a law, agreement, or code of
conduct' and 'Closure' means 'an act or process of closing something, especially an

and services'.
It is clearly mentioned in the passage that 'Many businesses today patrol sites such as
Twitter and Facebook, for instance, to listen in on the chatter about their products and
services. Their online brand ambassadors can promote new products or, if a businesss
reputation is threatened, use social media to move the discussion in the right direction'.

an internal culture of collaboration'.
Additionally, 'to cultivate' means 'to prepare' and 'collaboration' also means 'alliance'.
48. The correct answer is Option 2, i.e. 'By providing sensitive, private and confidential
information'.
In the sentence, it is clearly mentioned that 'People who provide private, sensitive or
confidential information about themselves or other people, whether wittingly or
unwittingly, pose a higher risk to themselves and others'.
Providing and posting sensitive, private and confidential information is the correct
option as the other options make the answer idiomatically incorrect.
49. The anonymous to 'Malicious' is Option 1, i.e. 'Benevolent'.

37 + 4 3= 101
101 + 53 = 226
? = 226
52. The pattern of given series is as follows
1 + (1) = 2
2 + (1 + 2) = 5
5 + (1 + 2 + 3) = 11
11 + (1 + 2 + 3 + 4) = 21
21 + (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5) = 36
? = 36
53. The pattern of the series is

12 = 1
12 + 22 = 5
12 + 22 + 32 = 14
12 + 22 + 32 + 42 = 30
12 + 22 + 32 + 42 + 52 = 55
12 + 22 + 32 + 42 + 52 + 62 = 91
? = 91
54. The pattern of the series is as follows
(-2) 0 = 1
1 + (-2) 1 = -1
-1 + (-2) 2 = 3
3 + (-2) 3 = -5
-5 + (-2) 4 = 11
11 + (-2) 5 = -21
? = -21
55. Here we can see that
16 12 = 4
22 16 = 6
32 22 = 10
48 32 = 16
? 48 = x (Let)
The differences in series of their differences is
64=2
10 6 = 4
16 10 = 6
So, (x 16) must be 8
x = 24
? = x + 48 = 24 + 48 = 72
56. Follow BODMAS rule to solve this question, as per the order given below,
Step-1- Parts of an equation enclosed in 'Brackets' must be solved first, and in the
bracket, the BODMAS rule must be followed,
Step-2- Any mathematical 'Of' or 'Exponent' must be solved next,
Step-3-Next, the parts of the equation that contain 'Division' and 'Multiplication' are
calculated,
Step-4-Last but not least, the parts of the equation that contain 'Addition' and
'Subtraction' should be calculated.

72. Let the speed of train X be s1 and train Y be s2

From statement I
Total distance / Relative speed = time taken
(500 + 400) / (s1 + s2) = 30
(s1 + s2) = 900 / 30 = 30
From statement II
Let the length of train X be l1 and train Y be l2
(l1 + 100) / s1 = 30
(l2 / s2) = 40
From both the statements
(500 + 100) / 30 = s1
s1 = 600 / 30 = 20
s2 = 400 / 40 = 10
Train Y is slower
73. From statement I we know the average speed of a man

From statement II we know the total distance covered

From all three also we cannot get the share of J only
answer cannot be determined
76. Let the principal be p and rate be r

From the statement I
P + P (1 + r%)2 = 12500
From the statement II
P + {(p r 2) / 100} = 12000
From statement III
Principal = 10000
we have two unknown values in first two equations and one known value in third
equation
from any two equation we can get the rate of interest
77. Probability that A is true and B is true = (3/4) (7/10) = 21/40

Quantity of water = x = 15 litres
Let the quantity of water added be y
60 / (15 + y) = 3 / 1
y = 5 litres
79. Firstly we make the 8 Arts students to sit in a row

This can be done in 8! Ways
Then there would be 9 places for the Arts students
We need to select the 7 of these 9 places and arrange 7 B.tech students in those 7 places
This can be done in 9C7 7!
the answer is 7! 9C7 8! = (8!9!) / 2!
80. Perimeter of rectangle = 2(12 + 8) = 40 cm
Perimeter of square = 3 40 = 120
Side of square = 120 / 4 = 30 cm
Diameter of circle = 30 / 2 = 15cm
Area of the circle = (15/2)2 = 176.78 cm
81. We know that volume of sphere = (4 / 3)(22 / 7)r3
(4 / 3){(2 11)/7}r3
It must be a multiple of 11
except 288 all has 11 as one of the factors
82. Relative speed of train = 30 + 20 = 50 m/s = 180 km/h

Time taken to meet each other = 300 / 180 = 1.67hr = 100 min
Total distance covered by helicopter = 600 km
speed of helicopter = 600 / 100 = 6 km/min = 100 m/s
83. Let the speed of boat be x
Speed of stream = 33.33 m/min = 2 km/h
Then speed in downstream = x + 2
Speed in upstream = x 2
{35 / (x - 2)} + {35 / (x + 2)} = 6
{35(x + 2) + 35(x - 2)} / (x2 4) = 6
70x = 6x2 24
6x2 70x 24 = 0
3x2 35x 12 = 0
3x2 36x + x 12 = 0
3x (x 12) + 1 (x 12) = 0
(3x + 1) (x 12) = 0
x = - 1/3, 12
speed cannot be negative so x = 12
speed in downstream = 12 + 2 = 14 km/h
speed in upstream = 12 2 = 10 km/h
84. Let the total displacement be x

First x/3 distance covered with velocity 10 km/h
Time taken to cover this first x/3 distance = distance / speed = (x/3) / 10
Time taken to cover second x/3 distance = (x/3) / 20
Time taken to cover last x/3 distance = (x/3) / 60

Average velocity = total displacement / total time
x / [{(x/3) / 10} + {(x/3) / 20} + {(x/3) / 60}] = x / [(6x + 3x + x) / 180]
180x / 10x = 18 km/h = 5 m/s
85. Speed of the car for 50 km = 50/45 = (50 60)/45 = 66.67 kmph
Speed of the car for 39 km = 39/25 = (39 60)/25 = 93.6 kmph
Average speed = (66.67 + 93.6)/2 = 80.14 kmph 80 kmph
86. Let the amount invested by P be x
Qs amount after 6 months = 3x
Rs amount after 8 months = x/2
Ratio of investment = 12x : (6 3x) : (4 0.5x) = 6 : 9 : 1
Qs share = (9/16) 48000 = 27000
87. While buying:

He buys 1150 grams instead of 1000 grams (due to cheating)
Let he brought 1150 grams for Rs. 1000
While selling:
He sells 850 grams when he takes money for 1000 grams
According to the question,
He sells at a 17% profit (30% mark up and 10% discount)
Hence his selling price is Rs. 1170 for 850 grams
Let equate the money as follows:
Buying:
He buys in Rs. 1000 = 1150 grams

He buys in Rs. 1170 = 1345.5 grams
Selling:
He sells in Rs. 1170 = 850 grams
Profit % = (1345.5 850)/850 100 = 58.29%
88. Simple Interest = (P R T)/100
S. I. = (1200 7.5 3)/100 = 270
Total amount = 1200 + 270 = Rs. 1470
89. Let the number of people in non-teaching staff is x
Total salary of teaching staff = 9500 10 = 95000
Total salary of non-teaching staff = 7000 x = 7000x
Average = [(9500 10) + 7000x]/(10 + x) = 8000
95000 + 7000x = 80000 + 8000x
x = 15
no. of people in non-teaching staff is 15
90. Let age of Ramesh and Suresh is x and y respectively

We see that in Step 1, the corresponding elements (digits) from circle 1 and circle 2
are added and unit digit of that product represented in the first circle of step 1.
4 + 5 = 9, so here we consider 9
And the second circle of Step 1 is obtained by adding the corresponding elements from
circle 2 and 3 similarly. Thus, third circle is obtained by adding the corresponding
elements from circle 3 and 4 similarly.
Step 1:
For obtaining step 2, the corresponding elements (digits) from circle 1 and circle 2 of
step 1 are added and unit digit of that product represented in the first circle of step 2.

130. Persons: Dilip, Elsa, Gaurav, Hamir, Ravi, Savi, Tarun and Urvashi.
Drinks: Coca Cola, Maaza, Thumbsup and Tropicana, and each drink is liked by two
persons.
Some of the persons are not facing the centre.
1) Gaurav sits third to the left of Urvashi, who likes Tropicana and both are facing the
same direction.
2) Savi sits second to the right of Gaurav.
3) Hamir and Savi are immediate neighbours of Urvashi.
4) The one who is on the immediate left of Savi is not facing the centre.
5) The persons who likes Tropicana is an immediate neighbor of the persons who like
Thumbsup.
6) Hamir is not facing the centre and likes Thumbsup.

7) Gaurav is an immediate neighbor of Ravi.
8) The immediate neighbours of Ravi are facing the centre.
(Here case 2 will get eliminates as Gaurav has to face inside)
9) Ravi sits fourth to the left of Tarun and both are facing opposite directions but like
the same soft drink.
10) Gaurav and Elsa are not facing the same direction but Gaurav is an immediate
neighbor of Ravi.
11) Tarun sits on the immediate right of Elsa, who likes Coca Cola.
12) The persons who like Coca Cola sit adjacent to each other, but face opposite
directions.
13) The persons who like Maaza sit opposite each other.
Above arrangement will be final arrangement.
As we can see in above arrangement, Dilip Elsa like Coca- cola.
Hence, None of these is correct option.

135. The above word and their code can be summaries in below diagram;
Hence, code for various is la
Hence, code ra stand for either belong or us
Code for Money = ve
Code for things = ba
time is new word hence code for time will other then code given in question.
Here fe is new code hence code for time can be fe
Hence, money things time may represent by ve fe ba
Hence code for give is either ka or ro.
Therefore code for him is se.

142. From second it is clear that,
(21 students) Gopal (11 students) Arun (26 students)
143. From Statement I: The order is Ravi above Ram above Vinay.
From statement II: Vinay lives on 1st floor which implies Ram Lives on 2nd and Ravi lives
on 3rd floor.
So, Both I and III are required.

144. Statement I:
Statement II:
So, Statement I and II are sufficient.
145. Though the passage talks extensively about higher spending on education and how
that news affected the stocks of some of the companies and would affect the pledge to
balance the primary budget, it doesn't address equally important information about
Abe's plan to increase sales tax and create a social security system for all generations.
Basically, the passage talks about the economic plan of Abe and its effects.
So, option 2 is correct.

146. The data for the number of women workers and men workers in Japan isn't given.
So, no assumption can be made if the number of women workers in Japan are lesser
than men. So, 1 can't be drawn from the statement.
But 2 follows because it is given that heavy investment in education and childcare is
aimed partly at encouraging more women to join the workforce, meaning increasing
investment in education and childcare addresses the concern of women keeping them
away from the workforce, thus encourages more women to join the work.
147. The phrase 'to make education and childcare a priority over balancing the
budget' suggest education, and childcare need spending and the current spending on
them is lower than expected. So, 1 follows.
The phrase 'rapidly-ageing population threatens to undermine his efforts to reflate the
economy' doesn't give an indication on the budget-spending on rapidly-ageing
population, but it indicates that the current economy is needed to be reflated, and
suggests that the rapidly-ageing population is one of the reasons for the current state of
the economy. So, 2 doesn't follow.
Option 1 is correct.
148. Japan's prime minister vowed to make education and childcare a priority over
balancing the budget. Surely, the spending on education and childcare will increase. So,
1 follows
Will the Japanese economy reflate is something time will tell and we can't conclude this
currently. So, 2 doesn't follow.
So, option 1 is correct.

149. The first statement uses the 'stage' as a metaphor for the world and so it does not
imply that the world is a vague stage. Also, if all the men and women are merely players,
it does not mean that they are the players who perform on this stage. Hence, neither
conclusion I nor II follows.
150. Facilitating the exchange of old notes with the Nepals central bank would address
the concerns of the Nepals central bank and restore the trust of the Nepali people in
Indian rupees. So, 'I' is a course of action to be followed.
If todays date is 09.11.2017, then it would have been 1 year since the 2016-
demonetisation drive. Most of the currency in old notes would have already been
exchanged. And there is very high likely hood that the currency in old notes which is not
exchanged is a black money. Cancelling demonetisation would allow the legal use of this
money which would harm the public. Also, the concerns of the Nepal Rashtra Bank
could be addressed through bilateral negotiation between the central banks of the two
countries. This would also give a chance to RBI to verify if the money being exchanged
by the Nepal Rashtra Bank is a black money or not.
So, cancelling demonetisation drive would not be very effective. So, 'II' shouldnt be
followed.

69. Total number of girls who appeared from city A = 4110

70. Total students from city F = 25% of 42000 = 10500

72. Let the speed of train X be s1 and train Y be s2

73. From statement I we know the average speed of a man

74. From statement I

75. From statement I we get the total investment of J, K and L

76. Let the principal be p and rate be r

77. Probability that A is true and B is true = (3/4) (7/10) = 21/40

78. Total quantity of mixture = 75 litre

79. Firstly we make the 8 Arts students to sit in a row

the answer is 7! 9C7 8! = (8!9!) / 2!

80. Perimeter of rectangle = 2(12 + 8) = 40 cm

Perimeter of square = 3 40 = 120

Side of square = 120 / 4 = 30 cm

Diameter of circle = 30 / 2 = 15cm

Area of the circle = (15/2)2 = 176.78 cm

81. We know that volume of sphere = (4 / 3)(22 / 7)r3

except 288 all has 11 as one of the factors

82. Relative speed of train = 30 + 20 = 50 m/s = 180 km/h

Total distance covered by helicopter = 600 km

speed of helicopter = 600 / 100 = 6 km/min = 100 m/s

83. Let the speed of boat be x

Speed of stream = 33.33 m/min = 2 km/h

Then speed in downstream = x + 2

{35 / (x - 2)} + {35 / (x + 2)} = 6

{35(x + 2) + 35(x - 2)} / (x2 4) = 6

speed in downstream = 12 + 2 = 14 km/h

speed in upstream = 12 2 = 10 km/h

84. Let the total displacement be x

Time taken to cover second x/3 distance = (x/3) / 20

Time taken to cover last x/3 distance = (x/3) / 60

x / [{(x/3) / 10} + {(x/3) / 20} + {(x/3) / 60}] = x / [(6x + 3x + x) / 180]

180x / 10x = 18 km/h = 5 m/s

86. Let the amount invested by P be x

Qs amount after 6 months = 3x

Rs amount after 8 months = x/2

Ratio of investment = 12x : (6 3x) : (4 0.5x) = 6 : 9 : 1

Qs share = (9/16) 48000 = 27000
