Q. 1
Choose the most appropriate phrase from the options given below to complete
the following sentence.

Sol. 1
Correct option is (A).

A pronoun (it) is used after a conjunction (because), so the complete sentence is:
India is a post-colonial country because it was a former British colony.
Q. 2
Who ______ was coming to see us this evening ?

(A) you said
(B) did you say
(C) did you say that
(D) had you said
Sol. 2
Correct option is (B).

Who did you say was coming to see us this evening ?
This is a question and who in that sentence is an interrogative pronoun. For that
reason we need to invert subject and verb and write did you say ?

Q. 6
The old city of Koenigsberg, which had a German majority population before
World War 2, is now called Kaliningrad. After the events of the war, Kaliningrad
is now a Russian territory and has a predominantly Russian population. It is
bordered by the Baltic Sea on the north and the countries of Poland to the south
and west and Lithuania to the east respectively. Which of the statement below
can be inferred from this passage ?
(A) Kaliningrad was historically Russian in its ethnic make up
(B) Kaliningrad is a part of Russia despite it not being contiguous with the rest
of Russia
(C) Koenigsberg was renamed Kaliningrad, as that was its original Russain
2014-2
Sol. 6

Ethnic cleansing or makeup is the process of using violent methods to force
certain groups of people out of a particular area or country. We can infer that
Kaliningrad was historically Russian in its ethnic make up.
Q. 7
The number of people diagnosed with dengue fever (contracted from the bite of
a mosquito) in north India is twice the number diagnosed last year. Municipal
authorities have concluded that measures to control the mosquito population
have failed in this region.
Which one of the following statements, if true, does not contradict this
conclusion ?
(A) A high proportion of the affected population has returned from
neighbouring countries where dengue is prevalent
(B) More cases of dengue are now reported because of an increase in the
Municipal Offices administrative efficiency
(C) Many more cases of dengue are being diagnosed this year since the
introduction of a new and effective diagnostic test

If x is real and x2 - 2x + 3 = 11, then possible values of - x3 + x2 - x include

(A) 2, 4
(B) 2, 14
(C) 4, 52
(D) 14, 52
Sol. 8

x2 - 2x + 3 = 11
So we can have two possible equalities
...(i)
x2 - 2x + 3 = 11 or x2 - 2x - 8 = 0
and
...(ii)
x2 - 2x + 3 =- 11 or x2 - 2x + 14 = 0
For eq (ii),
Discriminant
T = b2 - 4ac

So, roots of equation (ii) will be imaginary, but given x is real. Therefore we
dont consider this equation.
For eq(i)
Discriminant
T = b2 - 4ac

Correct answer is 140.

Let male students in 2006 be x1 and female students be y1 . From the given graph
we can see that in 2008 ratio of male to female students is 2.5. So
x1 = 2.5
y1
x1 = 2.5y1
Let number of male student in 2009 be x2 and number of female students be y2
. From the graph we can see that in 2009, ratio of male to female students is 3.
So
x2 = 3
y2
Given that number of female students is double in 2009, so we have y2 = 2y1 . The
above ratio now becomes as
x2 = 3

x2 = 6y1

As shown in Figure above, at 6:00 a.m. initial angle between minute and hour
hand is 180c. As we know that hour hand completes 30c in every hour (60
minutes), so angle moved by hour hand in 1 minute is 30
60 . Similarly, minute hand
complete 360c in every hour, so angle moved by minute hand in 1 minute is 360
60 .
Let us assume that after x minutes the angle is 60c. Let us assume that after x
