Sample questions

One question from each section of this paper, with the worked solution. The answers stay hidden until you ask for them.

English Language Fill in the Blanks
The sentence below has two blanks. Choose the pair of words that fits both blanks so that the sentence is grammatically correct and makes sense. The report was ___ to read because the writer had used long sentences and ___ vocabulary.
  1. A easy, simple
  2. B pleasant, difficult
  3. C difficult, technical
  4. D quick, complex
Show answer & solution

Correct answer: C. difficult, technical

"Because" makes the second half the reason for the first. Long sentences and technical vocabulary make a text hard to read, so "difficult, technical" is a proper cause and effect. "Easy, simple" contradicts the stated cause — long sentences do not make a report easy. "Pleasant, difficult" and "quick, complex" both pair a positive result with an obstructive cause.
Reasoning Ability Syllogism
In the question below are given two statements followed by two conclusions. Take the statements to be true even if they seem at variance with commonly known facts, and decide which of the conclusions logically follows. Statements: All poets are writers. Some writers are critics. Conclusions: I. Some poets are critics. II. Some critics are writers.
  1. A Only conclusion I follows
  2. B Only conclusion II follows
  3. C Both conclusions I and II follow
  4. D Either conclusion I or II follows
  5. E Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Show answer & solution

Correct answer: B. Only conclusion II follows

Poets sit inside writers, and some writers are critics — but nothing says those particular writers are the poets. The critics could lie entirely in the part of "writers" outside "poets", so conclusion I is possible but not certain. Conclusion II is simply the second statement read backwards, and a "some" statement always converts. Only conclusion II follows.
Quantitative Aptitude Simplification and Approximation
What value should come in place of the question mark? 28% of 450 + 22% of 350 = ?
  1. A 203
  2. B 193
  3. C 213
  4. D 207
Show answer & solution

Correct answer: A. 203

28% of 450 = 450 × 28/100 = 126 22% of 350 = 350 × 22/100 = 77 126 + 77 = 203. The second term is quickest as 350 × 22 = 7,700, then divided by 100.
