Question 71. Four out of seven Chestnut High School Chess Academy students (A, B, C, D, E, F and G) are to be selected in a school chess team in such a way that if A is selected, then B cannot be in that team and if B is selected, then E cannot be in that team. If one of D and F is selected, then the other must be chosen. Which of the following statements must be true?
  1.    If B is selected, then D must be chosen.
  2.    If A is selected, then C must be chosen.
  3.    If B is selected, then G must be chosen
  4.    C must be selected
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> If B is selected, then D must be chosen.
:
A
Option (A): If B is selected, then A and E cannot be selected. The other 3 must be from CDFG but D and F have to be together so the team will be B, D, F and any one of C or G. So D must be selected in the team, hence this Option is definitely TRUE.
Option(B): If A is selected B cannot be chosen. The other 3 members can be any 3 from C, D, E, F and G. This Option is not definitely TRUE.
Option (C): If B is selected, then A and E are ruled out. The other 3 can be chosen from C, D, F and G. Of this D and F must be chosen with the last member being either C or G. This Option is not definitely TRUE.
Option (D): C need not be chosen on every team. If we select DFEG, this is a valid team without C. Option(A)
Question 72. In how many of these years, the aggregate number of marks allotted to all the topics is less than the aggregate number of marks allotted to all the topics in the year 1999 but more than aggregate number of marks allotted to all the topics in the year 2001?
  1.    0
  2.    1
  3.    2
  4.    3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 0
:
A
As the aggregate of all the marks allotted to all the subjects across various years as following
Year199819992000200120022003Aggregatemarks185165165150150150
As we can see that there is no number between aggregate of year 1999 (165) and aggregate if year 2001 (150).
Question 73. Which of the following statements must be true?
  1.    Australia won against Pakistan
  2.    India won against Pakistan.
  3.    South Africa won against Pakistan
  4.    New Zealand won against Pakistan
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> South Africa won against Pakistan
:
C
Choice (c). Only South Africa must have won against Pakistan, as others have achance of tying a match with Pakistan.
Question 74. If, in the first round, all even numbered matches (and none of the odd numbered ones) results in surprise wins, and there are no surprise wins in the second round, then who would be the lowest ranked team facing Brazil in semi-finals?
  1.    Switzerland
  2.    Egypt
  3.    Germany
  4.    England
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Switzerland
:
A
Brazil (1) plays rank 4 in semi-finals (Round 4 - magic number is 5)
But, we know all even numbered matches of round 1 and all even ranked teams lose in round 1, hence lets trace rank 4's path to know which is the LOWEST ranked team that can replace it.
Round 1: 4 + 29 ("Magic number for round 1 is 33=4+29”) => 29 qualifies and takes 4's place
Round 2: 4 + 13 ("Magic number for round 2 is 17=4+13”)
But, now the round 2 match is not 4 v/s 13 but 29 v/s 13 => 13 is a better rank team and no upsets occur in round 2 so 13 qualifies and takes 4's place in the next round.
Round 3: 4 + 5 ("Magic number for round 3 is 9=4+15”)
But now here 4 is replaced by 13 so its 13 v/s 5. The winner of this match meets 1 in the next round(Semi-finals). We have the liberty to choose any of these two teams but the choice has to be of the LOWER team hence, choose rank 13 =Switzerland as the ANSWER (a)
Question 75. If exports to Korea from China forms 80% of the exports to Asia and imports from Korea forms 73% of import from Asia then trade balance of China as defined earlier with Korea is
 
  1.    960000 mn deficit
  2.    450000 mn deficit
  3.    630000 mn deficit
  4.    Cannot be determined
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 630000 mn deficit
:
C
Strategy- Change the scale to minimize calculation
From both Import and Export figures, strike out the last 4 digits = 1750 & 1400 approximately
The answer options are far apart, therefore we can easily approximate.
ChinaImports(1750)Exports(1400)Asia(40%)1750×40%=7001400×40%=560Korea(73%,80%)700×73%=511560×80%=448
Trade Deficit= Import- Export = 511 - 44863. Hence answer is option (c)
Question 76. The Organizers wants to devise a task time policy such that the total time to the participants to reach treasure is minimized. The policy should also ensure that not more than 70 per cent of the total traffic passes through junction B. The time taken by the participants travelling from point S to point T under this policy will be:
  1.    7 hours
  2.    9 hours
  3.    10 hours
  4.    8 hours
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 10 hours
:
C
There must be one other route other than those involving B with the least cost as most only 70% participants can only use this route.
We must take S-D-C-T as the other route.
S-B-C-T, if task time at B = 3, total time= 10.
S-D-C-T, if task time at D and C is 0, total time is 10.
10 hours is the least time.
Question 77. How many Priests left the precinct at 18:00 hrs?
  1.    1
  2.    2
  3.    1 or 2
  4.    Cannot be determined
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Cannot be determined
:
D
Cannot be determined
If at 14:00 hrs 1 staff member and no priest entered, then no priest left (after 4 hrs) at 18:00 hrs.
1 devotee who entered at 16:00 hrs might have left at 17:00 hrs (after 1 hr) or at 18:00 hrs (after 2 hrs).
Then, 1 priest left at 18:00 hrs (after 4 hrs) or no staff member left at 18:00 hrs (after 4 hrs). Hence, the result cannot be determined.
Question 78. Last year, the five employees of Company X took an average of 16 vacation days each. What was the average number of vacation days taken by the same employees this year?
1) Three employees had a 50% increase in their number of vacation days, and two employees had a 50% decrease.
2) Three employees had 10 more vacation days each, and two employees had 5 fewer vacation days each.
  1.    If the question can be answered with statement 1 alone
  2.    If the question can be answered with statement 2 alone
  3.    If both statement 1 and statement 2 are needed to answer the question and
  4.    If the question cannot be answered even with the help of both statements
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> If the question can be answered with statement 2 alone
:
B
The average number of vacation days taken this year can be calculated by dividing the total number of vacation days by the number of employees. Since we know the total number of employees, we can rephrase the question as: How many total vacation days did the employees of Company X take this year?
(1) INSUFFICIENT: Since we don't know the specific details of how many vacation days each employee took the year before, we cannot determine the actual numbers that a 50% increase or a 50% decrease represent. For example, a 50% increase for someone who took 40 vacation days last year is going to affect the overall average more than the same percentage increase for someone who took only 4 days of vacation last year.
(2) SUFFICIENT: If three employees took 10 more vacation days each, and two employees took 5 fewer vacation days each, then we can calculate how the number of vacation days taken this year differs from the number taken last year:
(10 more days/employee)(3 employees) - (5 fewer days/employee)(2 employees) = 20
Required Average = 16 + 4 = 20
Question 79. Is |n| < 1 ?
(1) nxn<0
(2) x1=2
  1.    If the question can be answered with statement 1 alone
  2.    If the question can be answered with statement 2 alone
  3.    If both statement 1 and statement 2 are needed to answer the question and
  4.    If the question cannot be answered even with the help of both statements
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> If both statement 1 and statement 2 are needed to answer the question and
:
C
The question is "Does n lie between -1 & 1?”
(1) INSUFFICIENT: If we addnto both sides of the inequality, we can rewrite it as the following:
nx<n
we cannot decide the answer based on this
if n = 12 and x = 2 then 1<n<1
however, if n = -3 and x = 3 , n is less than -1
thus, the answer cannot be determined based on statement (1) alone
(2) INSUFFICIENT: x1=2can be rewritten as x=21=12.However, this statement contains no information aboutn. hence, answer cannot be determined based on this statement alone as well.
(1) AND (2) SUFFICIENT: If we combine the two statements by plugging the value for x into the first statement,we getn1/2<n.
The only values for nthat satisfy this inequality are those greater than 1.
The correct answer is (C).

Since the maximum negative that Ghosh Babu goes into is -8, he should begin with at least Rs. 8, so that he does not have to borrow any money at any point.
