1. If the number of readers from the City-D in the year 2019 and 2023 were 77,400 and 1,14,000 respectively, then what is the difference between the number of readers from City-F in the year 2019 and that in 2023?
(1) 24,800
(2) 27,200
(3) 28.400
(4) 33,600
⮟ View Answer and Explanation
Correct Answer: (2) 27,200.
Explanation: We have to find = City F 2023 Readers – City F 2019 Readers
We have the following info from the question:
City | 2019 | 2023 |
D | 77,400 | 1,14,000 |
In the above table, it is given City D had 9% of total readers in 2019 and 10% in 2023.
So, if City D had 77400 of total readers in 2019, then total readers in that year are:
77400 / 9 x 100 = total readers in 2019
860,000 = total readers in 2019
Similarly, we can find total readers in 2023:
1,14,000 / 10 x 100 = total readers in 2023
1, 140, 000
Now, we can find City F total readers in 2019:
8,60,000 x 26/100 = 2,23,600
City F total readers in 2023
1,140,000 x 22/100 = 2,50,800
We have to find = City F 2023 Readers – City F 2019 Readers
So, 2,50,800 – 2,23,600 = 27,200
2. If the total number of readers from all the six cities A-F together in the years 2019 and 2023 were 4.3 lakh and 5.7 lakh, respectively, then what was the difference between the total number of readers from City-B and City-C together in the years 2019 and 2023?
(1) 1.175 lakh
(2) 1.415 lakh
(3) 1.625 lakh
(4) 1.596 lakh
⮟ View Answer and Explanation
Correct Answer: (1) 1.175 lakh
Explanation: we have to find = City C Total Readers (2019 and 2023) – City B Total Readers (2019 and 2023)
We have following info from the question:
City A to F total readers in 2019 | 4.3 lakh |
City A to F total readers in 2023 | 5.7 lakh |
As per the given table above, City B have 14% in 2019 and 16% 2023 contribution to the total population, and City C have 17% in 2019 and 28% in 2023.
So, if total readers in 2019 is 4.3 lakh, then we can find total readers in City B and City C as following:
City B Total Readers in 2019 = 4,30,000 x 14/100 = 60,200
City C Total Readers in 2019 = 4,30,000 x 17/100 = 73,100
Similarly, if total readers in 2023 is 5.7 lakh, then we can find total readers in City B and City C as following:
City B Total Readers in 2023 = 5,70,000 x 16/100 = 91,200
City C Total Readers in 2023 = 5,70,000 x 28/100 = 1,59,600
we have to find = City C Total Readers (2019 and 2023) – City B Total Readers (2019 and 2023)
So, (73100 + 159600) – (60200 + 91200) = 1,17,500
3. If the total number of readers from all the six cities A-F together in the year 2023 was 50,000, then the number of readers was more than 7400 in exactly ______ cities in the same year.
(1) 2
(2) 3
(3) 4
(4) 5
⮟ View Answer and Explanation
Correct Answer: (3) 4
Explanation: we have to find the cities in 2023 that had more than 7400 readers in the same year.
We will use the following info give the table:
City | 2023 |
A | 15% |
B | 16% |
C | 28% |
D | 10% |
E | 9% |
F | 22% |
We will first choose City D as it is easier to find 10% of 50,000 that is 5000.
Next, we will take City A, to find the total readers in it as following:
50000 x 15/100 = 7500
This is more than 7400 readers.
If you look at the table both City D and E (9% of total readers 50000) has less than 7400 total readers.
Therefore, there are total cities that have above 7400 readers is 4.
4. If the ratio of the number of readers from City A in the year 2019 to that in 2023 was 2:5, then what was the ratio of the number of readers from all six cities together in the year 2019 to that in 2023?
(1) 3:5
(2) 4:5
(3) 4:9
(4) 2:5
⮟ View Answer and Explanation
Correct Answer: (1) 3:5
Explanation: we have to find the ratio of = total readers in 2019 in all cities / total readers in 2023 in all cities
We have already have following info from the question:
City A = 2/5 = total readers in 2019 in City A / total readers in 2023 in City A
And following info from the given table:
City | 2019 | 2023 |
A | 10% | 15% |
So, suppose X is the total number of readers in 2019 and Y is the total number of readers in 2023, then using the same we can do the following:
X x 10/100 / Y x 15/100 = 2/5
X / Y x 10/15 = 2/5
X / Y = 30/50 = 3/5
5. If the number of readers from City C in the year 2019 and that from City E in the year 2023 were 73,100 and 51,300, respectively, then the number of readers from City B in the year 2023 was approximately _______% more than that in 2019.
(1) 53.7
(2) 50.3
(3) 52.8
(4) 51.5
⮟ View Answer and Explanation
Correct Answer: (4) 51.5
Explanation: we have to find that how many percent 2023 City B readers are higher than 2019 City B readers.
We have following info from the question:
City | 2019 | 2023 |
C | 73100 | |
E | 51300 |
And in the table we have following info:
City | 2019 | 2023 |
C | 17% | |
E | 9% |
Now, using the given info, we can find the total readers in 2019 and 2023 respectively:
Total readers in 2019 (x) = 73100 x 100 / 17 = 4,30,000
Total readers in 2023 (y) = 51300 x 100 / 9 = 5,70,000
Now, we can find total number of readers in City B in the years 2019 and 2023 respectively:
Total readers in City B 2019 = 4,30,000 x 14/100 = 60,200
Total readers in City B 2023 = 5,70,000 x 16/100 = 91200
Now, to find how many percent 2023 City B readers are higher than 2019 City B readers, we will do the following:
91200 / 60200 x 100 = 151.49%
This means, that City B 2023 readers are 51.49% higher than the City B 2019 readers.

7. Speed of a boat in still water is 5 km/hr and the speed of the stream is 1 km/hr. A man rows to a place at a distance of 24km and comes back to the starting point. Find the total time taken by him.
(1) 8 hr
(2) 10 hr
(3) 12 hr
(4) 15 hr
⮟ View Answer and Explanation
Correct Answer: (2) 10 hr
Explanation: we have to find the total time taken by man to row from starting point to destination point and back.
Speed downstream = 5km/hr + 1km/hr = 6km/hr
Speed upstream = 5km/hr – 1km/hr = 4km/hr
Suppose, the total time taken by man is x then
At the speed of 6km/hr downstream, man will reach the destination in =
24km/6km/hr = 4 hours
At the speed of 4km/hr upstream, man will reach the starting point in =
24km/4km/hr = 6 hours
Therefore, the total time taken will be 4 + 6 = 10 hours.

13. Which fallacy is committed in the following statement?
“People with cases of flue should be kept in quarantine, because it has never been disproven as the best means of keeping the disease from spreading.”
(1) Appeal to Ignorance
(2) Hasty Generalization
(3) Slippery Slope
(4) False Cause
⮟ View Answer and Explanation
Correct Answer: (1) Appeal to Ignorance
Explanation: The appeal to ignorance fallacy (also known as argumentum ad ignorantiam) happens when someone says something is true just because it hasn’t been proven false, or the other way around.
In this case, the argument says people with the flu should be quarantined because no one has proven that it’s not the best way to stop the disease from spreading.
The statement is using the fact that no one has disproven it as evidence, which is a clear example of the appeal to ignorance fallacy.
Other fallacies means:
Hasty Generalization: Making a broad conclusion based on a small sample. Example: “My friend had a bad experience with that restaurant, so all their food must be terrible.”
Slippery Slope: Claiming that one small step will lead to a chain of related (and usually negative) events. Example: “If we allow students to redo assignments, soon they’ll expect to redo every test and project.”
False Cause: Assuming that because one event followed another, the first event caused the second. Example: “Since the chicken cluck and then the sun rose, the chicken must have caused the sun to rise.”

⮟ View Answer and Explanation
Correct Answer: (4) B, D and E only
Explanation: Photochemical smog, also known as “summer smog,” is a type of air pollution formed by the interaction of sunlight with certain chemicals in the atmosphere.
Following are the essential requirements for the formation of photochemical smog are:
Nitrogen Oxides (NO2): These are primarily produced from vehicle exhaust, industrial emissions, and other combustion processes.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): These can come from vehicle emissions, industrial processes, gasoline vapors, and solvents used in paints and cleaning products.
Sunlight: The ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun provides the energy necessary to drive the photochemical reactions between NO2 and VOCs, leading to the formation of ozone and other secondary pollutants.
Warm Temperatures: Higher temperatures accelerate the chemical reactions involved in the formation of photochemical smog.
When these components are present, they react under the influence of sunlight to produce ground-level ozone, peroxyacetyl nitrates (PANs), and other reactive organic compounds.
This combination of pollutants forms the characteristic brownish haze associated with photochemical smog and can have harmful effects on human health, vegetation, and materials.

23. A motor boat covers certain distance downstream in 5 h but takes 6 h to return upstream to the starting point. if the speed of the stream be 4 km/h, then what is the speed of the motor boat in still water?
(1) 40 km/h
(2) 42 km/h
(3) 44 km/h
(4) 46 km/h
⮟ View Answer and Explanation
Correct Answer: (3) 44 km/h
Explanation: we have to find speed of the motor boat in still water.
Following info is given in the question:
Distance downstream = 5 hours
Distance upstream = 6 hours
Stream speed = 4 km/h
Assume distance = y
Boat speed = x
To find Upstream speed, we will need to subtract Stream speed from Boat speed as following:
Upstream speed = x – 4 km/h
Similarly, for Downstream speed, we will need to add Stream speed into Boat speed as following:
Downstream speed = x + 4km/h
Now, we know that speed consists of distance/hours right?
And already we have total time given above, therefore, we can write Upstream speed as:
(x-4) = y/6 (equation 01)
and Downstream as:
(x+4) = y/5 (equation 02)
Now, using the equation 01, we can write:
x = y/6 + 4
And using this in equation 02, we can find y as following:
x+4 = y/5
y/6 + 4 + 4 = y/5
8 = y/5 – y/6
8 = 6y-5y/30
8 = y/30
240 km = y (total distance)
Now, using this, we can find x (Boat speed):
x + 4 = 240/5
x = 240/5 – 4
x = 240 – 20/5
x = 220/5
x = 44 km/h
24. Which technology first marked a separation between transportation and communication?

26. When you try to predict the value of an outcome variable from one or more variables, you are likely to be using:
A. the Pearson product-moment correlation
B. bivariate regression
C. multivariate regression
D. analysis of variance
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
(1) A, B and C only
(2) B and C only
(3) B, C and D only
(4) A and D only
⮟ View Answer and Explanation
Correct Answer: B and C only
Explanation: The Pearson product-moment correlation refers to a measure of the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables.
Therefore, it is not correct.
We can eliminate option 1 and 4.
On the other hand, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is a statistical technique used to test the differences between two or more means.
It again not used for predicting the value of an outcome variable from one or more variables.
Meanwhile, regression analysis helps in predicting the value of the dependent variable based on the values of the independent variables.
Therefore, both B and C are correct option.
Bivariate regression (B): This involves predicting the value of an outcome variable (dependent variable) from one predictor variable (independent variable).
Multivariate regression (C): This extends bivariate regression by predicting the outcome variable using multiple predictor variables simultaneously.
27. Choose the correct statements:
A. x% of y is equal to y% of 100 x.
B. If 40% of 60% of (3/5) of a number is 504, then 25% of (2/5) of that number is equal to 350.
C. If A is 15% more than B, then B is ~13.04% less than A.
D. 10% of 5 and 5% of 10 add-up to 0.1.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
(1) A and B only
(2) B and C only
(3) C and D only
(4) A and D only
⮟ View Answer and Explanation
Correct Answer: B and C only
Explanation: A. x% of y is equal to y% of 100x.
Let’s take an example to check this:
x = 10, y = 20
10/100 x 20 = 20/100 x 100 x 10
2 ≠ 200
B. If 40% of 60% of (3/5) of a number is 504, then 25% of (2/5) of that number is equal to 350.
Let’s solve the first part to find the number:
Let the number be n.
40% of 60% of 3/5 of n = 504
0.40 x 0.60 x 3/5 x n = 504
0.40 x 0.60 x 0.60 x n = 504
0.144n = 504
n = 504/0.144
n = 3500
Now, let’s check the second part:
25% of 2/5 of 3500
0.25 x 2/5 x 3500
0.25 x 0.40 x 3500
0.10 x 3500
=350
So this statement is correct.
C. If A is 15% more than B, then B is ~13.04% less than A.
Let’s assume B = 100
A = 115 (since A is 15% more than B)
The percentage less than A that B is, is given by A-B/A x 100.
115 – 100/115 x 100 = 13.04%.
So this statement is correct.
D. 10% of 5 and 5% of 10 add up to 0.1.
Let’s calculate:
10% of 5 = 0.5
5% of 10 = 0.5
0.5 + 0.5 =1
So this statement is not correct.

33. Which of the following are the subdivisions of Implicit (Unconscious) memory?
A. Priming
B. Episodic Memory
C. Classical conditioning effects
D. Semantic Memory
E. Procedural Memory
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
(1) B and D only
(2) A, B, D and E only
(3) A, C and E only
(4) A, B, C, D and E
⮟ View Answer and Explanation
Correct Answer: (3) A, C and E only
Explanation: Implicit memory, also known as non-declarative memory, is a type of long-term memory that is not consciously recalled but influences behaviors and skills.
The subdivisions of implicit memory include:
Procedural Memory: This involves the memory of how to perform tasks and skills.
Examples include riding a bicycle, playing a musical instrument, and typing on a keyboard.
These memories are often acquired through repetition and practice.
Priming: This refers to the phenomenon where exposure to a stimulus influences the response to a subsequent stimulus, without conscious guidance or intention.
For example, if you hear the word “yellow” and are later asked to name a fruit, you are more likely to say “banana.”
Classical Conditioning: This involves learning through association, where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a significant stimulus, eliciting a conditioned response.
An example is Shyam’s dog, which salivated when they heard a bell because they associated the bell with food.
Non-associative Learning: This includes habituation and sensitization.
Habituation is the process of becoming less responsive to a repeated stimulus over time, while sensitization is the process of becoming more responsive to a repeated stimulus.
These subdivisions highlight the various ways implicit memory influences our behaviors and skills without our conscious awareness.

Read the following passage and answer the questions (46-50)
According to a World Health Organization report, about 80 percent of the world population uses traditional medicine systems in some or the other way. India has a distinctive and unique traditional medicine base, which each system having its own ancient philosophy, medicinal knowledge, perception and practices that align with regional cultures, traditions and beliefs. The traditional medicine systems in India include Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa Rigpa and Homeopathy which is known as Ayush. All these systems were formulated, practices and perfected in a continuum much before the advent of modern health science.
In many countries of the world, medical pluralism is the norm and traditional medicine is one of the surest means to achieve total healthcare coverage for the world population using acceptable, safe and economically-feasible methods. No system of medicine can single-handedly address all health concerns, but an integrative approach incorporating the positives of each can surely benefit mankind. The holistic patient-centered and individualized approach is the trademark of traditional systems and enables the patient-physician partnership to design or customize treatment and lifestyle advice in order to achieve the highest potential for well-being. This awareness combined with the increase in use of traditional medicine has brought the systems to the fore. The diverse activities ranging from the provision of prophylactic care to the management of disease and the effective implementation and integration of Ayush system to the public healthcare during the pandemic has garnered global attention to Ayush systems. This has enabled the signing of the Host Country Agreement for the establishment of Global Centre for Traditional Medicine (GCTM) at Jamnagar.
