Q:

Looking for a job is difficult enough, the task becomes impossible if you do not have the skill of being pleasant, polite and polished.Conclusions :I. A person who has social etiquetteis eligible for any jobII. Many candidates no matter how excellently  qualified are likely to fail to get the jobs they are going to try for because of their manners.

 A) If only conclusion I follows B) If only conclusion II follows C) If neither I nor II follows D) If both I and II follow

Answer:   B) If only conclusion II follows

Explanation:

I does not follow because it considers the qualities expressed in the statement sufficient for the eligibility of a job. II follows obviously.

Q:

What is the value of KL ?

Statement A: $\inline \fn_jvn K^{2}$ = 4.
Statement B: L = 0.

 A) Only A is sufficient B) Only B is sufficient C) Both (A) and (B) are sufficient D) None of the above

Explanation:

From statement B,

As the value of L = 0, the value of KL = 0.

Hence only statement B is sufficient.

Q:

How long will it take for two pipes A and B to fill an empty cistern if they worked alternately for an hour each ?

A. Working alone, Pipe A can fill the cistern in 40 hours
B. Pipe B is one third as efficient as Pipe A

 A) Only A is sufficient B) Only B is sufficient C) Both (A) and (B) are sufficient D) None

Explanation:

From statement A, we know that Pipe A can fill the tank in 40 hours. However, this information is not sufficient as we do not have the data for Pipe B. Hence, statement A alone cannot answer the given question.

From statement B, we know that Pipe B is one third as efficient as pipe A. However, we do not know the rate at which Pipe A fills the tank. Hence, we will not be able to find the rate at which Pipe B fills the cistern. Therefore, statement B alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Now, if we combine the two statements, we know that Pipe A take 40 hours to fill the cistern.
Pipe B takes 120 hours to fill the cistern.

If they worked alternately, then either Pipe A could have started the cycle or Pipe B could have started the cycle.

If Pipe A started the sequence of filling alternately, then at the end of two hours, the two pipes together would have filled 1/40 + 1/120 = 1/30  th of the tank in an hour. Or the cistern will fill in 30 hours.

If Pipe B started the sequence, then at the end of 2 hours, the two pipes together would have filled 1/120 + 1/40 = 1/30 th of the tank in an hour. Or the cistern will fill in 30 hours.

As the answer obtained irrespective of which pipe started the sequence is the same, the correct answer is (3) - i.e., both the statement are sufficient to answer the question.

Q:

Statement :

The byproducts obtained from animals such as hairs, skins, horns, etc. contain at least 45 per cent food protein. Indian scientists have developed methods to segregate 50 per cent of this protein. They have used an enzyme developed in Russia for destruction of soya-proteins.

Conclusions:

A. Indian scientists cannot develop enzymes.

B. If a suitable method involving less cost is developed then many more food protein would be obtained.

 A) Only A follows B) Only B follows C) Neither A nor B follows D) Both A & B follows

Explanation:

There is no indication that Indian scientists are incapable of developing enzymes. There could be any number of reasons why Indian scientists used Russian enzymes.

So conclusion A does not follow.

In addition, cost is not discussed in the passage at all. There is no mention of a correlation between cost and extraction of proteins.

Thus, conclusion B does not follow either.

Q:

I. $\inline \fn_jvn \small a^{2}-7a+12 =0$,

II. $\inline \fn_jvn \small b^{2}-3b+2=0$

Solve both the equations to find the values of a and b  ?

 A) if a > b B) if a < b C) if the relationship between a and b cannot be established. D) if a ≤ b

Explanation:

I.  (a - 3)(a - 4) = 0

=> a = 3, 4

II.   (b - 2)(b - 1) = 0

=> b = 1, 2

=> a > b
