Q:

Should there be a complete ban on import of sugar by India?

Arguments :

I. No. The production of sugar in India is not sufficient to meet the requirement.

II. No. This will keep the prices of sugar under control as the supply will be adequate.

A) If only argument I is strong B) If only argument II is strong
C) If neither I nor II is strong D) If both I and II are strong
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) If both I and II are strong

Explanation:

Import of sugar is directly related with the domestic production of sugar. If import of sugar is banned then it will result in hoarding of sugar besides increase in its prices (due to less supply than the requirement). Hence I is strong. Note that availability of a commodity keeps the prices of the commodity under control. Hence, II is strong.

Q:

Ayush was born two years after his father's marriage. His mother is five years younger than his father but 20 years older than Ayush who is 10 years old. At what age did the father get married ?

A) 25 years B) 24 years
C) 23 years D) 22 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 23 years

Explanation:

Ayush's present age = 10 years.
His mother's present age = (10 + 20) years = 30 years.
Ayush's father's present age = (30 + 5) years = 35 years.
Ayush's father's age at the time of Ayush's birth = (35 - 10) years = 25 years.

Therefore Ayush's father's age at the time of marriage = (25 - 2) years = 23 years.

 = 700000 : 3600000  = 35 : 18


  


4. Answer : 2 


Explanation : Difference = 6000000×34100-5000000×28100 


= 2040000 - 1400000 = Rs.640000


 


5. Answer : 5

 Expenditure on Machine and Electricity of Company A = 5000000×12100 = Rs.600000 = 6 lakh


 Therefore, Required % = 1080000-600000600000×100  % = 4860×100% = 80%


 Hence expenditure of Company B is 80% more than Company A.
