Passage – I
Americans have a variety of superstitions like walking under
a ladder, a black cat crossing your path and the number 13, none of which seem
to have a logical reason for being. However, there are no serious taboos
attached to them. Individuals may have an array of sensitivities based on their
personal beliefs. If you do offend someone inadvertently, a sincere apology
will usually go a long way toward making amends. The one sensitivity that
almost all Americans have is about slights to their country. Either complaining
about the US or expressing an attitude that your culture is superior can cause
Americans to take offence. Americans do possess a great deal of culture
arrogance, and think that their way is the only right way. They think that the
US is the best place on earth, otherwise why would everybody by trying to get
here? Whether you agree or not, remember that you are a guest in the US and it
would be rude for a guest to insult his host
15. Which of the following can be presumed about Americans
regarding superstition?
1) It is a cultural custom for them to believe in
superstitions.

validity of superstitions.

superstitions.

Passage – II
Population is one resource that never depletes and is a
living development parameter. But it is at times interpreted as a hindering
factor for development. This happens because population is both a consumer and
producer. There are two schools of thought. One which treats population as a
resource, and the other as a burden to the society. The truth, in fact, lies
somewhere in between. The interplay of factors responsible for population
growth and those for development decide the resourcefulness of population.
20. Why is it said that population is one resource that
never depletes?
1) because other resources deplete
2) because population is an ever-increasing phenomenon
3) because population is seen as a resource
4) because it is an easily available commodity
5) None of these
21. Why population is at the same time treated as a resource
and also as a burden to the society?
1) because population is the creator and at the same time it
is also the user
2) because a less number of people are engaged in production
and a large number of people are dependent on it
3) because population is not always a producer but it is
always a consumer
4) when the growth of population is checked it is a resource
and when it increases rapidly it is burden to the society
5) None of these
22. The resourcefulness of population can be decided by
(i) skilled manpower (ii) scale of development (iii)
population control measures (iv) scale of population growth
1) All of the above
2) Only (i), (ii) and (iii)
3) Only (i) and (iii)
4) Only (ii) and (iv)
5) None of these
23.Which of the following is true in context of the passage?
1) It is not necessary that the population always grows.
2) Population is burdensome.
3) Most of the natural resources are exhaustible.
4) Population is a big consumer and a meager producer.
5) None of these
24.What will be the synonym of the word depletes as given in
bold in the passage?
1) disappears
2) sustains
3) worsens
4) evades
5) reduces
25. – 65 x39 + 335 =?

1. Two pencils costs 8 cents, then 5 pencils cost how much
Sol: 2 pencils è 8 cents => 1 pencil è 4 cents
Therefore 5 pencils cost = 5 * 4 = 20 cents
2. A work is done by two people in 24 min. one of them can
do this work a lonely
in 40 min. how much time required to do the same work for
the second person.
Sol: (A+B) can do the work in = 1/24 min.
A alone can do the same work in = 1/40 min.
B alone can do the same work in = (A+B)’s – A’s = 1/24 –
1/40 = 1/60
Therefore, b can do the same work in = 60 min
3.A car is filled with four and half gallons of oil for full
round trip. Fuel is taken
1/4 gallon more in going than coming. What is the fuel
consumed in coming up?
Sol Before the trip, car is filled with = 4 ½ gallon of oil
Let ‘X’ be the quantity of fuel consumed for the trip in one
direction
The fuel consumed while going = X + ¼
The fuel consumed while coming = X
Therefore, the fuel consumed for the trip = (X + ¼) + X = 4
½
ð 2X + ¼ = 4 ½ => 2X = 4 ½ – ¼ => 2X = 4 ¼ => X= 2.
approx
Therefore the fuel consumed while coming = 2 gallon
