Solution

"Young people in these countries are far better educated than their parents were. In 1990, the average Egyptian had 4.4 YEARS of schooling; by 2010, the figure had risen to 7.1 years. Could it be that education, by making people less WILLING to put up with restrictions on freedom and more willing to question authority, promotes democratisation?"

OPTION D follows more appropriately the above paragraph from the passage

Hence, answer will be D

Solution

"The employment SITUATION SEEMS to be improving rapidly and consumer sentiment, reflected in retail EXPENDITURES on discretionary ITEMS like electronics and clothes, has picked up. If these trends sustain, the US might post better growth numbers for 2012 than the 1.5 - 1.8 percent being FORECAST currently."

Hence, answer will be D.

Solution

On carefully reading the fragments, we see that the sentence is about the National School Choice Week. Fragments E and A form a pair as they introduce the subject of the sentence. Since ‘nonpartisan’ is mentioned in E, D should follow A as it mentions that the discussions are not POLITICAL. C should follow D as it concludes the sentence - ‘out from political SPHERE to living rooms of parents..’. EADC forms a COHERENT sentence. Fragment B is out of context and should be EXCLUDED.

Solution

The sentence is talking about a religion for which we have an AUTHENTIC account. ‘To’ is INCORRECTLY used in the sentence. Both ‘for’ and ‘of’ will make a MEANINGFUL sentence. Hence, option D is the CORRECT answer.

Solution

"There are outliers, of course—until recently, many Arab COUNTRIES managed to combine energy-based WEALTH and decent education with undemocratic political systems. But some deduce from the overall picture that as China and other authoritarian states get more educated and richer, their people will agitate for greater political freedom, culminating in a shift to a more democratic form of government."

"Poorer and less educated people often vote in larger numbers than their more educated compatriots, who often express disdain for the messiness of democracy, yearning for the KIND of government that would deal strongly with the corrupt and build highways, railway fines and BRIDGES at a dizzying pace of authoritarian China."

According to above lines of the paragraph, only statement B follows.

Hence, ANSWER will be B

When it COME to HELPING

I am not SURE, MAY be RISE is CORRECT

Solution

C's 1 day's WORK = $\frac{1}{24}$

=> A's 1 day's work = $\frac{3}{4}$ * $\frac{1}{24}$

= $\frac{1}{32}$

=> B's 1 day's work = 5 * $\frac{1}{32}$ = $\frac{5}{32}$

$\therefore$ B alone will finish the work in = $\frac{32}{5}$ days

= 6$\frac{2}{5}$ days

Solution

$\frac{M1D1}{W1}$ = $\frac{M2D2}{W2}$

W1=W2 = Q

$\frac{18Mx30}{Q}$ = $\frac{16Wx36}{Q}$

M = $\frac{32}{30}$W ....(1)

Let the DAYS REQUIRED by 18 women to complete the remaining work = y days

so $\frac{(15Mx9)+(18W x y)}{Q}$= $\frac{16Wx36}{Q}$ ......(2)

using EQUATION 1 and 2

$\frac{(16Wx9)+(18W x y)}{Q}$= $\frac{16Wx36}{Q}$

144W + 18Wy = 576W

18Wy = 432 W

y = 24 days

Solution

The CORRECT ORDER after re-arrangement is CAEDFB

Solution

Fostering MEANS to ENCOURAGE the DEVELOPMENT of some one or something.Nurturing means protect some one when they are going.Hence,D SUITS the most .

is ACCESS is the CORRECT ANSWER?? am i RIGHT?

Solution

scheme A has 8 % SI and scheme B has 9 % SI

Let the SUM invested in A = RS y then sum invested in B = Rs 2y

Total interest EARNED = Rs 1800

Time = 2 yearsfor scheme B and 3 years for scheme A

So

$\frac{24y}{100}$ + $\frac{36y}{100}$ = 1800

y = 180000/60

y= 3000

Solution

The passage EXPLAINS how educated people from democratic nations complain about the too much conflict over individual RIGHTS in democratic countries is slowing down progress compared to AUTHORITARIAN countries LIKE China

it from previous YEAR SSC PAPERS, option 2 is the right ANSWER

Solution

will "feature" LIKE never before is the correct option to be USED in the situation. The other options are not appropriate in the GIVEN context. HENCE the answer is (C).

Its TOUGH but OPTION 1 SEEMS CORRECT

Solution

The profits are DIVIDED in the RATIO of [Investment X time period]
So, this number for A is 30k X 12 = 360k
For B it is 24k X 4 + 18k X 12 = 240k
For C it is 42k X 4 + 32k X 8 = 424k

So, B's share in the profit will be $\frac{240}{360+240+424} \times 11960 = 2803.125 \approx 2803$

Solution

let the investment of C in business be RS Y

As it is mentioned that A and B remain invested for whole year and have CONTRIBUTIONS Rs 24000 and Rs 28000 respectively. and C JOINED them only for 8 months in a years so the Profit will divide in ratio = A:B:C = (24000x12) : (28000x12) : (Yx8)

profit at year end = Rs 19950

and C's share = $\frac{Y}{78000+Y} X 19950= 7600$

Y = 29718 + 0.381 Y

Y = 48009 ~ Rs 48000

Solution

Let the investment of A, B , and C be y , 2y , 4y

after 6 months A invested half of amount more and hence for NEXT 8 months in a year his invest is proportional to 1.5y . where as B invested same amount and C withdrew 1/4th of hisamount

So their effective amount after 6 months are 4y and 3y respectvely

So after a year their profits will be shared in RATIO = A:B:C = (6y + 9y) : (12y + 24y) : (24y + 18y)

A:B:C = 15:36:42 = 5:12:14

Hence ANSWER is C option.

Solution

Ratio of investments of A,B,C
=(1500 * 8 ): (550 *8 + 1000 * 4) : (2400 *8)
=10 :7 :16
Let total profit Rs X
B’s share = 7x/33
According to question
x-7x/33 = 13000
x= Rs 16500

Solution

using $\frac{QNR final}{Total} = \frac{QNR INITIAL}{Total}(1- \frac{quantity replaced}{total})^n$

here QNR is the quantity which is only REMOVED in whole PROCESS and hence here it is MILK and 'n' is the number of times the REPLACEMENT process is repeated

So using the formula

$\frac{QNR final}{Total}$ = $\frac{81}{81}$ x $(1- \frac{27}{81})^2$

$\frac{QNR final}{Total}$ = 4/9

So after two replacement cycles the ratio of Milk : Water = 4:5

Solution

Loss PERCENT
= [$\frac{loss}{10}$]2 %
= [$\frac{12}{10}$]2 %
= $\frac{36}{25}$ %
= 1$\frac{11}{25}$ %
