Answer: B) A loss of Rs. 37 Explanation: As the win leads to multiplying the amount by 1.5 and loss leads to multiplying the amount by 0.5, we will multiply the initial amount by 1.5 thrice and by 0.5 thrice (in any order). The overall resultant will remain same. So final amount with the person will be (in all cases): = 64(1.5)(1.5)(1.5)(0.5)(0.5)(0.5)= Rs. 27 Hence the final result is:  64 − 27 = 37 A loss of Rs.37

Answer: B) J, L Explanation: This question concerns a committee’s decision about which five of eight areas of expenditure to reduce. The question requires you to suppose that K and N are among the areas that are to be reduced, and then to determine which pair of areas could not also be among the five areas that are reduced. The fourth condition given in the passage on which this question is based requires that exactly two of K, N, and J are reduced. Since the question asks us to suppose that both K and N are reduced, we know that J must not be reduced: Reduced         ::      K, NNot reduced   ::      J The second condition requires that if L is reduced, neither N nor O is reduced. So L and N cannot both be reduced. Here, since N is reduced, we know that L cannot be. Thus, adding this to what we’ve determined so far, we know that J and L are a pair of areas that cannot both be reduced if both K and N are reduced: Reduced        ::      K, NNot reduced  ::      J, L Answer choice (B) is therefore the correct answer.

Answer: B) Literature Explanation: Lost Generation definition, the generation of men and women who came of age during or immediately following World War I. "Literature" was the one field among the following choices given in the question that was associated with the "Lost Generation".

On carefully inspecting this question, one can understand that there are two days which are important and these are: A. My Birthday. B. The day when I am making this statement. If you think for a while, you will understand that such statements can be made only around the year’s end. So, if my birthday is on 31 December, then I will be making this statement on 1 January. I will further explain using the following example: 1. Consider that today is 01 January 2017. 2. Then, the day before yesterday was 30 December 2016 and according to the question I was 25 then. 3. Yesterday was 31 December 2016, which happens to be my birthday too (Woohoo!), and my age increases by one to become 26. 4. I will turn 27 on my birthday this year (31 December 2017). 5. I will turn 28 on my birthday next year (31 December 2018). Now, if you read the question again, it will make more sense:   The day before yesterday(30 December 2016), I was 25 years old and next year(31 December 2018) I will be 28.

Answer: D) 430 Explanation: Let the total number of valid votes be 'V'. 70% of V = 70/100 x V = 7V/10 Number of votes secured by the other candidate = V - 7V/100 = 3V/10 Given, 7V/10 - 3V/10 = 172 => 4V/10 = 172 => 4V = 1720 => V = 430.

Answer: D) Option 2,3 and 4 Explanation: when a cube is formed by folding the sheet shown in fig. (A), then   is one of the faces of the cube and this face lies opposite to a blank face. Also, a face bearing a square lies opposite to another blank face. The remaining two blank faces lie opposite to each other. Clearly, in the cube shown in fig. (1), the face consisting of the four symbols is not the same as that formed (as shown above). Hence, the cube in fig. (1) cannot be formed
