Explanation:
In every figure, the dot travels four positions to the left in a cyclic order i.e. when it reaches the end; it again starts from the first position.
Also at every step, the dot goes to the bottom of the vertical line if it was at the top and vice versa.
Thus, choice 1 continues the series in the correct manner. Hence, [1].

The performance of top athletes varies in cycles that are repeated every two years. It is tempting to suppose that alterations in diet control
these variations in performance. But there is much evidence to contradict this hypothesis.
Which of the following, if known, is evidence that contradicts the hypothesis mentioned above?
1)
Ben Monsoon was on a diet of high-protein foods in 1987 and changed to a diet of high carbohydrates in 1990.

The governments' expenditure on education has increased greatly in recent years however the proportion of the population that
remains uneducated has not decreased at all. The apparent discrepancy in the above statement can be explained by any of the following
facts EXCEPT:
the population has increased significantly in recent years.
2)
inflation in the country has affected education severely as expense on education has risen in monetary terms without a
similar improvement in quality.

a great proportion of the expenditure on education was actually allocated to expensive new science projects conducted in a

Explanation:
Even if [4] is true, it gives no reason as to why the proportion of children who are educated has not risen in proportion with the increase in
expenditure on education. [1] gives a good reason as the excess expenditure may have simply been spent on more students without
changing the "proportion" of students. [2] points to inflation as a reason why the increased expenditure is not reflected in a higher
proportion of the educated. [3] points to the fact that the excess was spent on something very specific and therefore did not affect the
proportion of educated. Hence, [4].

Making English a compulsory subject in Hindi medium schools will help more people to learn this language which will bode well for their
future. Hence, I follows.
If spoken English coaching classes hike their fees, then it will deprive people who can't afford these classes of learning English. Hence, II

Explanation:
The statement says that consumers find it difficult to make the right decision as to what product should be purchased. Merely advising
them to take the claims made by the advertisement with a pinch of salt is not doing them any good. A substantial course of action should
be suggested. Hence, I does not follow.
Setting a cap on the upper limit would reduce excessive advertising thereby helping the consumers. Therefore, II follows. Choice III is a
rather extreme course of action. Hence, III does not follow. Hence, [2].

Explanation:
According to the passage, the Neanderthal species gained its named from the Neander Valley in Germany where Neanderthal bones
were found in 1856, as the bones found in 1848 in Gibraltar were not identified as being that of a new species. The author suggests that
because of this, the species should in fact be called Gibraltar Woman rather than Neanderthal Man. So the assumption is that, generally,
species are named after the place where their remains are first discovered. Hence, [1].

IM
Explanation:
According to the last two sentences, the Neanderthal population in Gibraltar and the homo sapiens sapiens population in Morocco
remained apart 24,000 years ago, separated by a strait (i.e. a narrow part of the sea). If C is true, it strengthens this conclusion by
showing that it would be impossible for the two populations to travel across the sea to each others' lands. Hence, [3].

Explanation:
The passage refers to Neanderthals as 'another species of humans', and calls homo sapiens sapiens 'our own branch of humanity', i.e.
the ancestors of modern humans. So it can be inferred that the Neanderthals were not the ancestors of modern humans. There is no
indication of when the Neanderthals lived in the Neander Valley, so B cannot be inferred, and so the answer is E only. Hence, [4].

Explanation:
Consider 154376250. The last three digits are divisible by 125, hence the number is divisible by 125.
The last two digits are not divisible by 4 hence it is not divisible by 4 it is not divisible by 8.
Last digit is zero hence it is divisible by 2 and 5.
Again sum of digits = 1 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 7 + 6 + 2 + 5 + 0 = 33 is divisible by 3, hence, number is divisible by 3.
i.e., the number is divisible by 6(2 3), 15(5 3) and 125.
Hence, [3].

Explanation:
The given sentence compares the behaviour of the illiterate people and the literate people with respect to dealing with a given problem.
The framework of the sentence reveals that the approach of the two sets is different; also there exists a possibility that the approach of the
illiterate people may be more comprehensive. Therefore, the correct word that fits the first blank is 'better'. The second word which
completes the sentence is 'adopt' as the sentence talks about an approach that literates may use. Thus, [3] is the correct answer. The
word 'trained' is incorrect as the sentence mentions a speculation by scientists about something. If illiterate people are 'trained', then this
fact can be verified. Thus [1] is incorrect. The word 'good' cannot be used for comparison. Hence, [2] is incorrect. The word 'accustomed'
should be followed by the word 'to'. Thus, [4] is incorrect. Hence, [3].

Explanation:
The sentence in the initial part uses 'still'. This indicates that the scenic beauty has remained constant, so the correct word used in this
case should be 'retains'. The latter half describes the mountain railway with the article 'on' used prior to it. Therefore, the correct word
which completes the sentence is 'ride'. Therefore, the correct answer is [4]. 'Beckon' means a signal or a nod which is incorrect in the
context of the passage. Thus, [1] is incorrect. 'Travel on the railway' is an incorrect usage and thus, [2] is incorrect. The word 'sight' is not
followed by 'on'. Thus, [3] is incorrect. 'Hence, [4].

Question: 176
Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.
Up to 1960, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded almost exclusively to Europeans and Americans. In retrospect, the horizon of the
Norwegian Nobel Committee may seem too narrow. Gandhi was very different from earlier Laureates. He was no real politician or
proponent of international law, not primarily a humanitarian relief worker and not an organizer of international peace congresses. He would
have belonged to a new breed of Laureates.
There is no hint in the archives that the Norwegian Nobel Committee ever took into consideration the possibility of an adverse British
reaction to an award to Gandhi. Thus it seems that the hypothesis that the Committee's omission of Gandhi was due to its members' not
wanting to provoke British authorities, may be rejected.
In 1947 the conflict between India and Pakistan and Gandhi's prayer-meeting statement, which made people wonder whether he was
about to abandon his consistent pacifism, seem to have been the primary reasons why he was not selected by the committee's majority.
Unlike the situation today, there was no tradition for the Norwegian Nobel Committee to try to use the Peace Prize as a stimulus for
peaceful settlement of regional conflicts.
During the last months of his life, Gandhi worked hard to end the violence between Hindus and Muslims which followed the partition of
India. We know little about the Norwegian Nobel Committee's discussions on Gandhi's candidature in 1948 other than an entry for
November 18 in Gunnar Jahn's diary but it seems clear that they seriously considered a posthumous award. When the committee, for
formal reasons, ended up not making such an award, they decided to reserve the prize, and then, one year later, not to spend the prize
money for 1948 at all. What many thought should have been Mahatma Gandhi's place on the list of Laureates was silently but respectfully
left open.
The highlighted sentence in the first paragraph means:

The passage doesn't discuss the politics surrounding the awarding of Nobel Prize, eliminating [1]. The author, in fact, dismisses
everything as possibility and conjecture. Since the passage does talk about why the prize wasn't awarded to Gandhi, the second option
may be considered. There is no mention of how Gandhi became the victim of prejudices, negating [3]. Though no prize was awarded in

Question: 186
Read both passages I and II given below and answer the questions that follow.
Passage I
Most of the intelligent land animals have prehensile, grasping organs for exploring their environment - hands in human beings and their
anthropoid relatives, the sensitive inquiring trunk in the elephant.One of the surprising things about the dolphin is that its superior brain is
unaccompanied by any type of manipulative organ. It has, however, a remarkable range-finding ability involving some sort of echosounding. Perhaps this acute sensefar more accurate than any that human ingenuity has been able to devise artificiallybrings it greater
knowledge of its watery surroundings than might at first seem possible. Human beings think of intelligence as geared to things. The hand
and the tool are to us the unconscious symbols of our intellectual attainment. It is difficult for us to visualize another kind of lonely, almost
disembodied intelligence floating in the wavering green fairyland of the seaan intelligence possibly near or comparable to our own but
without hands to build, to transmit knowledge by writing, or to alter by one hair's breadth the planet's surface. Yet at the same time there
are indications that this is a warm, friendly, and eager intelligence quite capable of coming to the assistance of injured companions and
striving to rescue them from drowning. Dolphins left the land when mammalian brains were still small and primitive. Without the stimulus

provided by agile exploring fingers, these great sea mammals have yet taken a divergent road towards intelligence of a high order. Hidden
in their sleek bodies is an impressively elaborated instrument, the reason for whose appearance is a complete enigma. It is as though both
the human being and the dolphin were each part of some great eye which yearned to look both outward on eternity and inward to the
sea's heart - that fertile entity like the mind in its swarming and grotesque life.
Passage II
Nothing about dolphins has been more widely or passionately discussed over the centuries than their supposed intelligence and
communicative abilities. In fact, a persistent dogma holds that dolphins are among the most intelligent of animals and that they
communicate with one another in complex ways. Implicit in this argument is the belief that dolphin cultures are at least as ancient and rich
as our own. To support the claim of high intelligence amongst dolphins, proponents note that they have large brains, live in societies
marked as much by co-operative as by competitive interactions and rapidly learn the artificial tasks given to them in captivity. Indeed,
dolphins are clearly capable of learning through observation and have good memories. People who spend time with captive dolphins are
invariably impressed by their sense of humour, playfulness, quick comprehension of body language, command of situations, mental agility
and emotional resilience. Individual dolphins have distinctive personalities and trainers often speak of being trained by their subjects,
rather than the other way round.
The extremely varied repertoires of sounds made by dolphins are often invoked as prima facie evidence of advanced communication
abilities. In addition, some "scientific" experiments done by John Lilly and his associates during the 1950s and 1960s were claimed to
show that dolphins communicate not only with one another but also with humans, mimicking human speech and reaching out across the
boundaries that divide us. These conclusions about dolphin intelligence and communication have not withstood critical scrutiny. While they
have fueled romantic speculation, their net impact has been to mislead. Rather than allowing dolphins to be discovered and appreciated
for what they are, Lilly's vision has forced us to measure these animals' value according to how close they come to equalling or exceeding
our own intelligence, virtue and spiritual development. The issues of dolphin's intelligence and communication abilities have been
inseparable in most people's minds, and the presumed existence of one has been taken as proof of the other a classic case of begging
the question. Not surprisingly then, most experiments to evaluate dolphin intelligence have measured the animal's capacity for cognitive
processing as exhibited in its understanding of the rudiments of language. From the early work of researchers like Dwight Batteau and
Jarvis Bastian through the more recent work of Louis Herman and associates, dolphins have been asked to accept simple information, in
the form of acoustic or visual symbols representing verbs and nouns, and then to act on the information following a set of commands from
the experimenter. The widely publicized results have been somewhat disappointing. Although they have demonstrated that dolphins do
have the primary skills necessary to support understanding and use of a language, they have not distinguished the dolphins from other
animals in this respect. For example, some seals, animals we do not normally cite as members of the intellectual or communicative elite,
have been found to have the same basic capabilities.
What, then, do the results of experiments to date mean? Either we have not devised adequate tests to permit us to detect, measure and
rank intelligence as a measure of a given species' ability to communicate, or we must acknowledge that the characteristics that we regard
as rudimentary evidence of intelligence are held more commonly by many "lower" animals than we previously thought.

of the second half which erroneously attributes the idea that dolphins can equal or exceed human cognitive powers to the second author.
Option [3] goofs up in the first part of the option.Only [4] aptly brings out ideas of the authors of passage I and II respectively in terms of

Though it is just a half-day event where thousands line up to run for a few hours, the marathon is now being seen as possessing several
USPs (Unique Selling Point) for the corporate world, the most important being the health and fitness commitment as well as emotional
connect with target audiences. A good example is the processed foods and juices company Dabur India. This is its first association with
long-distance running where the company got headlong into the event with a team of 60, led by vice-chairman Amit Burman. A fitness
addict himself who runs 11-12 kilometres four times a week, Burman is possibly the best brand ambassador for his company's Real Activ
range of fruit juices. The company is using the marathon to reinforce its positioning of being the manufacturer of a healthy range of fruit
juices and food products such as honey. 'Running is an activity that fosters good health and well-being, so our association with the event
seems a natural fit,' says Burman. To run 7, 21 or 42 kilometres is no mean task. It requires determination, commitment and sacrifice for a
good period of time. Thus it helps change lifestyles and mindsets. This has a ripple effect across society, making people more conscious
of their health and fitness and keeping the sponsor and his brand alive for a longer period.
