Let x and y be the two parts of 96.

x/7 = y/9 => x:y = 7:9

=> The smallest part is = 7/16 x 96 = 42.

Given that there are three blue marbles, four red marbles, six green marbles and two yellow marbles.

Probability that both marbles are blue = ³C₂/¹⁵C₂ = (3 x 2)/(15 x 14) = 1/35

Probability that both are yellow = ²C₂/¹⁵C₂ = (2 x 1)/(15 x 14) = 1/105

Probability that one blue and other is yellow = (³C₁ x ²C₁)/¹⁵C₂ = (2 x 3 x 2)/(15 x 14) = 2/35

Required probability = 1/35 + 1/105 + 2/35 = 3/35 + 1/105 = 1/35(3 + 1/3) = 10/(3 x 35) = 2/21

The four northeast Indian states share 1,643-km border with Myanmar – Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Mizoram and Manipur. It is in news recently, because the Indian Government has set up an expert committee to examine the rules which allow free movement of Indian and Myanmarese citizens within 16 kms of the border, but are exploited by militants for smuggling arms, drugs, and fake Indian currency. The committee will be headed by the special secretary (Internal Security) in the Ministry of Home Affairs. The committee will give its report for uniform and effective implementation of free movement regime within 3 months. It will also prepare standard operating procedures common for all the four states so that militants, criminals and contraband are filtered at the border without causing inconvenience to genuine people.

1. ANSWER : D 

Explanation - The ratio of imports to exports for the years 1998 and 1999 are 1.25 and 1.40 respectively. 

Let the exports in the year 1999 = Rs. x crores.  

Then, the exports in the year 1998 = Rs. (500 - x) crores. 

 250500-x = 1.25 => x = 300 crores      [ Using ratio for 1998 ]  

Thus, the exports in the year 1999 = Rs. 300 crores. 

Let the imports in the year 1999 = Rs. y crores.  

Then, Imports in the year 1999 = y300=1.4 => y = 420= Rs. 420 crores.

2. ANSWER : C

Explanation - The imports are minimum proportionate to the exports implies that the ratio of the value of imports to exports has the minimum value.

Now, this ratio has a minimum value 0.35 in 1997, i.e., the imports are minimum proportionate to the exports in 1997. 

3. ANSWER : D 

Explanation - The graph gives only the ratio of imports to exports for different years. To find the percentage increase in imports from 1997 to 1998, we require more details such as the value of imports or exports during these years. 

Hence, the data is inadequate to answer this question. 

4. ANSWER : B 

Explanation -  Ratio of imports to exports in the year 1996 = 0.85. 

Let the exports in 1996 = Rs. x crores. 

Then , 272x = 0.85 => x = 320  

Exports in 1996 = Rs. 320 crores.  

5. ANSWER : D  

Explanation - The exports are more than the imports imply that the ratio of value of imports to exports is less than 1.Now, this ratio is less than 1 in years 1995, 1996, 1997 and 2000. 

Thus, there are four such years.

The year 2006 is an ordinary year. So, it has 1 odd day.
So, the day on 24th Nov, 2007 will be 1 day beyond the day on 24th Nov, 2006.
But, 24th Nov, 2007 is Thursday.
24 - 10 = 14 days.
Therefore, 2 weeks ago it is same day.
Thus, 10th Nov, 2006 is one day before 10th Nov, 2007 i.e. it is Wednesday.
