Question Numbers (5 to 8): Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below.

The table given below shows the amount, in grams, of carbohydrate, protein, fat and all other nutrients, per 100 grams of nutrients in seven foodgrains. The first column shows the foodgrain category and the second column its codename. The table has some missing values.


The table has some missing values.
The following additional facts are known.
1. Both the pseudo-cereals had higher amounts of carbohydrate as well as higher amounts of protein than any millet.
2. Both the cereals had higher amounts of carbohydrate than any pseudo-cereal.
3. All the missing values of carbohydrate amounts (in grams) for all the foodgrains are non-zero multiples of 5.
4. All the missing values of protein, fat and other nutrients amounts (in grams) for all the foodgrains are non-zero multiples of 4.
5. P1 contained double the amount of protein that M3 contains.

Q. 5 How many foodgrains had a higher amount of carbohydrate per 100 grams of nutrients than M1?

Correct Answer

5

Explanation



We can see that 100 g of M1 had 62 g of carbohydrates.
Among the given grains, C1, C2, M2, P1 and P2 had more carbohydrates per 100 g.
Hence, the correct answer is 5.

Q. 6 How many grams of protein were there in 100 grams of nutrients in M2?

Correct Answer

12

Explanation



In 100 g of M2, there were 12 g of proteins.

Q. 7 How many grams of other nutrients were there in 100 grams of nutrients in M3?

Correct Answer

24

Explanation



In 100 g of M3 there were 24 g of other nutrients.

Q. 8 What is the median of the number of grams of protein in 100 grams of nutrients among these food grains?

Correct Answer

12

Explanation



The median is defined as the middle number when all observations are arranged in order.
Hence, the median of the quantity of proteins in 100 grams of nutrients among these food grains is 12 g.

Question Numbers (9 to 13): Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below.

The air-conditioner (AC) in a large room can be operated either in REGULAR mode or in POWER mode to reduce the temperature.
If the AC operates in REGULAR mode, then it brings down the temperature inside the room (called inside temperature) at a constant rate to the set temperature in 1 hour. If it operates in POWER mode, then this is achieved in 30 minutes.
If the AC is switched off, then the inside temperature rises at a constant rate so as to reach the temperature outside at the time of switching off in 1 hour.
The temperature outside has been falling at a constant rate from 7 pm onward until 3 am on a particular night. The following graph shows the inside temperature between 11 pm (23:00) and 2 am (2:00) that night.



The following facts are known about the AC operation that night.
• The AC was turned on for the first time that night at 11 pm (23:00).
• The AC setting was changed (including turning it on/off, and/or setting different temperatures) only at the beginning of the hour or at 30 minutes after the hour.
• The AC was used in POWER mode for longer duration than in REGULAR mode during this 3-hour period.

Q. 9 How many times the AC must have been turned off between 11:01 pm and 1:59 am?

Correct Answer

3

Explanation



The AC was turned off twice between 11:00 and 1:59.

Q. 10 What was the temperature outside, in degree Celsius, at 1 am?

Correct Answer

34

Explanation



The temperature outside at 1 am was 34°C.

Q. 11 What was the temperature outside, in degree Celsius, at 9 pm?

Correct Answer

42

Explanation



The temperature outside at 9 pm was 38 + 2 + 2 = 42°C.

Q. 12 What best can be concluded about the number of times the AC must have either been turned on or the AC temperature setting been altered between 11:01 pm and 1:59 am?

Correct Answer

1

Explanation



The AC settings were changed only at half hour time points.
Also we know for sure that the AC was switched on at 00:30 and 01:30 hours, that gives us two changes.
It is given that the AC was on Power mode for a longer duration than Regular mode.
Case 1: At 11:00 the AC was set in Power mode with a target temperature of 32°C. At 11:30 the mode was changed from Power to Regular.
Case 2: At 11:00 the AC was set in Power mode with a target temperature of 32°C. At 11:30 the AC remained in Power mode but the target temperature was changed to 26°C.
Case 3: At 11:00 the AC was set in Regular mode with a target temperature of 26°C. At 11:30 the AC was set in Power mode but the target temperature remained unchanged at 26°C.
In all the three cases there were exactly three times when the AC settings were changed.

Q. 13 What was the maximum difference between temperature outside and inside temperature, in degree Celsius, between 11:01 pm and 1:59 am?

Correct Answer

10

Explanation



The maximum difference between temperature outside and inside between 11:01 pm and 1:59 am is 10°C at 00:00 hours.

Question Numbers (14 to 18): Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below.

The figure below shows a network with three parallel roads represented by horizontal lines R-A, R-B, and R-C and another three parallel roads represented by vertical lines V1, V2, and V3. The figure also shows the distance (in km) between two adjacent intersections. Six ATMs are placed at six of the nine road intersections. Each ATM has a distinct integer cash requirement (in Rs. Lakhs), and the numbers at the end of each line in the figure indicate the total cash requirements of all ATMs placed on the corresponding road. For example, the total cash requirement of the ATM(s) placed on road R-A is Rs. 22 Lakhs.

The following additional information is known.
1. The ATMs with the minimum and maximum cash requirements of Rs. 7 Lakhs and Rs. 15 Lakhs are placed on the same road.
2. The road distance between the ATM with the second highest cash requirement and the ATM located at the intersection of R-C and V3 is 12 km.

Q. 14 Which of the following statements is correct?

Correct Answer

4

Explanation



Let us check each statement:
1. The ATM placed at the (R-C, V2) intersection has a cash requirement of Rs. 8 Lakhs. FALSE
2. The cash requirement of the ATM placed at the (R-C, V2) intersection cannot be uniquely determined. FALSE
3. There is no ATM placed at the (R-C, V2) intersection. FALSE
4. The ATM placed at the (R-C, V2) intersection has a cash requirement of Rs. 9 Lakhs. TRUE
Hence, only option 4 is true.

Q. 15 How many ATMs have cash requirements of Rs. 10 Lakhs or more?

Correct Answer

3

Explanation



There are three ATMs that have cash requirements of Rs. 10 Lakhs or more.

Q. 16 Which of the following two statements is/are DEFINITELY true?
Statement A: Each of R-A, R-B, and R-C has two ATMs.
Statement B: Each of V1, V2, and V3 has two ATMs.

Correct Answer

3

Explanation



Let us check each statement:
Statement A: Each of R-A, R-B, and R-C has two ATMs. This is true in both cases.
Statement B: Each of V1, V2, and V3 has two ATMs. This is not true for case 1.
Hence, only statement A is true.

Q. 17 What best can be said about the road distance (in km) between the ATMs having the second highest and the second lowest cash requirements?

Correct Answer

4

Explanation



The second highest and second lowest cash requirements are 12 lakh and 8 lakh respectively.
In case 1, the distance is 7 km whereas in case 2 the distance is 4 km.
Hence, the correct answer is either 4 km or 7 km.

Q. 18 What is the number of ATMs whose locations and cash requirements can both be uniquely determined?

Correct Answer

3

Explanation



We can see that in both cases the positions of ATMs with cash requirements of 12, 11 and 9 lakh are fixed whereas the positions of those with cash requirements of 7, 8 and 15 lakh are not fixed.
Hence, the correct answer is 3.
