Answer: d | Explanation:
Option (a) is not correct. As per the passage, “A multidimensional measure of poverty can incorporate a range of indicators that capture the complexity of this phenomena in order to inform policies aimed at reducing poverty and deprivation in a country. Depending on the context of a country and the purpose of the measure, different indicators can be chosen to reflect the needs and priorities of a nation, as well as its constituent regions, districts, provinces, etc.” But it does not mention that multidimensional poverty index will definitely solve the problem of definition of poverty in the world.
Option (b) is not correct. According to the passage, “Multidimensional poverty encompasses the various deprivations experienced by poor people in their daily lives – such as poor health, lack of education, inadequate living standards, disempowerment, poor quality of work, the threat of violence, and living in areas that are environmentally hazardous, among others.” It nowhere mentions that it is impossible to quantify every indicator of a multidimensional poverty index. Hence it is not correct.
Option (c) is not correct. The passage nowhere mentions about NITI Aayog and UNDP. Hence, it is not correct.
Option (d) is correct. According to the passage, “A multidimensional measure of poverty can incorporate a range of indicators that capture the complexity of this phenomena in order to inform policies aimed at reducing poverty and deprivation in a country. Depending on the context of a country and the purpose of the measure, different indicators can be chosen to reflect the needs and priorities of a nation, as well as its constituent regions, districts, provinces, etc.” Definitely the Multidimensional Poverty index is a comprehensive index, but we may need to customize it as per needs and priorities of a nation, state or a district. Hence, this statement captures the message of the passage.

Explanation:
The best way to do this is to start with 100 and calculate the result.
The final number will be as follows:
[(100 × 1/6) ÷ 1/7] × 7/10
= (100/1) × (1/6) × (7/1) × (7/10)
= 245 /3 = 245/3%
So, the final number will be 245/3% of the original number.

Explanation:
M is 35% of N, and L is 25% of N
So, M = 0.35N, and L = 0.25N.
To find out what percent L is of M, we need to evaluate:
(L/M) × 100% = (0.25N/0.35N) ×100% = (25/35) × 100% = 500/7%

Explanation:
Let B’s salary be Rs. 100.
Then A’s salary = Rs. 125
Required percentage = [(125 – 100)/125] × 100 = (25 /125) × 100 = 20%
Thus, B's salary is lower than A's salary by 20%.
Hence, option (b) is correct.

❤1👍1
Explanation:
Principal (P) = Rs. 5000, Rate (r) = 12% per annum, Time (n) = 2 years
Compound Interest (C.I.) = [P {1 + (r/100)}n – P]
Simple Interest (S.I.) = (P × r × n)/100
Required difference = [P {1 + (r/100)}n – P] - (P × r × n)/100
= [5000 {1 + (12/100)}2 – 5000] – (5000 × 12 × 2)/100
= 5000 [(28/25) × (28/25) – 1] - 1200
= 5000 [(784 – 625)/625] - 1200 = 1272 – 1200 = Rs. 72
Thus, difference between simple interest and the compound interest for 2 years will be Rs. 72.
Hence, option (d) is correct.

Explanation:
40% of the boys is same as half of the girls, and there are 20 girls.
So, 40% of boys = 20/2 = 10
Therefore, 100% of boys = (10/40%) × 100% = 25
Therefore, total number of boys = 25
Thus, total number of students = 25 + 20 = 45
Hence, option (b) is correct.

(d) 8:20 pm
👍1
Ans. (a) | Explanation:
Let distance between Delhi and Pune be A km.
Time taken by Sonali to reach Pune = 10 – 4 = 6 hours
Time taken by Priyanka to reach Delhi = 11 – 6 = 5 hours
Speed of train which leaves Delhi = A/6 km/hr
And Speed of train which leaves Pune = A/5 km/hr
Relative speed = A/6 + A/5 = 11A/30 km/hr
Distance covered by train which leaves Delhi in 2 hours = 2 × A/6 = A/3 km
Distance left to be covered = A – A/3 = 2A/3 km
Time taken by both the trains to cross each other = Distance left to be covered/ Relative speed = (2A/3)/(11A/30) = 20/11 hours = 1 hour 49 minutes
Required time = 6 pm + 1 hour 49 minutes = 7: 49 pm
Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

Ans. (d) | Explanation:
In a month of 30 days beginning with Saturday, we will have 5 Saturdays, 5 Sundays and 20 Other days.
Visitors on 5 Saturdays = 640 × 5 = 3200
Visitors on 5 Sundays = 640 × 5 = 3200
Visitors on Other days = 310 × 20 = 6200
So, Total number of visitors in 30 days = 3200 + 3200 + 6200 = 12600
Average number of visitors per day = 12600/30 = 420
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.

Ques. Rohan works in a sanitizer factory. In a 176 ltr mixture of glycer and alcohol, there’s 80% alcohol. How much alcohol should be evaporated from the mixture to reduce its percentage to 60%?

(b) 88 ltr

(c) 72 ltr
16%
(d) 76 ltr
Ans. (d) | Explanation:
Ratio of glycer and alcohol in the mixture = 20 : 80 = 1 : 4
So, Quantity of glycer in the solution = 176 × 1/(1 + 4) = 35.2 ltr
So, quantity of alcohol in the solution = 176 – 35.2 = 140.8 ltr
In the final mixture, alcohol is 60% and glycol is 40%.
40% corresponds to 35.2 litres.
60% corresponds to 35.2 × (60%/40%) = 52.8 litres.
So, Quantity of alcohol that should be evaporated = 140.8 litr – 52.8 ltr = 88 ltr
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
