1. ANSWER : C 

 Explanation -  Number of students who passed half-yearly exams in the school 

= (Number of students passed in half-yearly but failed in annual exams) + (Number of students passed in both exams)
= (6 + 17 + 9 + 15) + (64 + 55 + 46 + 76)

= 288.

Also, Number of students who passed annual exams in the school

= (Number of students failed in half-yearly but passed in annual exams) + (Number of students passed in both exams)

= (14 + 12 + 8 + 13) + (64 + 55 + 46 + 76)

= 288.

Since, the number of students passed in half-yearly = the number of students passed in annual exams. Therefore, it can be inferred that both the examinations had almost the same difficulty level.

Thus Statements (a), (b) and (d) are false and Statement (c) is true. 

 2. ANSWER : D 

 Explanation -  Since the classification of the students on the basis of their results and sections form independent groups, so the total number of students in the class: 

 = (28 + 23 + 17 + 27 + 14 + 12 + 8 + 13 + 6 + 17 + 9 + 15 + 64 + 55 + 46 + 76)

= 430. 

 3. ANSWER : D 

 Explanation- Pass percentages in at least one of the two examinations for different sections are:

  For Section A = 14+6+6428+14+6+64×100 = 84112×100% = 75%

 For Section B =12+17+5523+12+17+55×100 % = 78.5%

 For Section C = 8+9+4617+8+9+46×100%= 78.75%

 For Section D = 13+15+7627+13+15+76×100%= 79.39%

  Clearly ,the pass percentage is maximum for Section D 

 4. ANSWER : A

 Explanation - Total number of students passed in annual exams in a section 

= [ (No. of students failed in half-yearly but passed in annual exams) + (No. of students passed in both exams) ] in that section

 Success rate in annual exams in Section A= 14+64112 × 100% = 69.64%

 Similarly, success rate in annual exams in:

 Section B = 12+55107×100% =  62.62% 

 Section C = 8+4680×100% = 67.5% 

 Section D = 89131×100% = 67.94% 

 Clearly, the success rate in annual examination is maximum for Section A. 

 5. ANSWER : D 

 Explanation - Total number of failures in half-yearly exams in a section

  = [ (Number of students failed in both exams) + (Number of students failed in half-yearly but passed in Annual exams) ] in that section

 Failure rate in half-yearly exams in Section A %= 37.5 %

 Similarly, failure rate in half-yearly exams in:

  Section B = 32.71%

  Section C = 31.25%

  Section D = 30.53%

  Clearly, the failure rate is minimum for Section D.

 = (Number of students passed in half-yearly but failed in annual exams) + (Number of students passed in both exams)

 = (6 + 17 + 9 + 15) + (64 + 55 + 46 + 76)

 = 288.

 Also, Number of students who passed annual exams in the school

 = (Number of students failed in half-yearly but passed in annual exams) + (Number of students passed in both exams)

 = (14 + 12 + 8 + 13) + (64 + 55 + 46 + 76)

 = 288.

Since, the number of students passed in half-yearly = the number of students passed in annual exams. Therefore, it can be inferred that both the examinations had almost the same difficulty level.

Thus Statements (a), (b) and (d) are false and Statement (c) is true.

The Citizenship Act, 1955, prescribes three ways of losing citizenship whether acquired under the Act or prior to it under the Constitution, viz. renunciation, termination and deprivation:

1. By Renunciation: Any citizen of India of full age and capacity can make adeclaration renouncing his Indian citizenship.

2. By Termination: When an Indian citizen voluntarily (consciously, knowingly and without duress, undue influence or compulsion) acquires the citizenship of another country.

3. By Deprivation:It is a compulsory termination of Indian citizenship by the Central government, if:

●the citizen has obtained the citizenship by fraud:●the citizen has shown disloyalty to the Constitution of India:

●the citizen has unlawfully traded or communicated with the enemy during a war;

●the citizen has, within five years after registration or naturalisation, been imprisoned in any country for two years; and

●the citizen has been ordinarily resident out of India for seven years continuously

Let length of plot = L meters, then breadth = L - 20 meters

and perimeter = 2[L + L - 20] = [4L - 40] meters

[4L - 40]  * 26.50 = 5300

[4L - 40] = 5300 / 26.50 = 200

4L = 240

L = 240/4= 60 meters.
