Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

It is a labour of love and the result of painstaking research. Chikankari - A Lucknawi Tradition by Paola Manfredi, an Italian, is a book that shows her close and long association with the craft. Lucknow’s chikankari is known across the world yet very little research or documentation has been done. Articles or features have appeared off and on but this book is amongst the first of its kind, which aims to document the vast treasure called Chikan. What makes the book extremely interesting is that unlike other books that tend to rely on second hand material, with exhaustive references and quotes, Paola Manfredi has filled her tome with passionate grass-roots level research. The narrative more in the nature of a personal journey, with all the quirks and street-smart practicality, makes the book refreshing. As Paola says in the book, it is not a scholarly or academic research but more of a documentation of the world of chikankari.

Paola questions the use of chikan as a word for embroidery, highlighting that it has a broader connotation encompassing haute couture, the fine art of making a garment, embroidering it and finishing it with finesse. She is no stranger to chikankari having worked with SEWA and several craftsmen. Her love for white on white embroidery also found a calling in chikan. Paola came to India to work in textile exports and as she says, “If you like textiles ... India is a heaven, an inexhaustible treasure trove.”

Why did Paola come to India?

A) To visit Lucknow	B) To write a book
C) To study chikankari	D) To work in textile exports

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) To work in textile exports

Q:

A rectangular park 60 m long and 40 m wide has two concrete crossroads running in the middle of the park and rest of the park has been used as a lawn. If the area of the lawn is 2109 sq. m, then what is the width of the road?

A) 1	B) 2
C) 3	D) 4

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3

Explanation:

Area of the park = (60 x 40) = 2400 $m^{2}$

Area of the lawn = 2109 $m^{2}$

Area of the crossroads = (2400 - 2109) = 291 $m^{2}$

Let the width of the road be x metres. Then,

$60 x + 40 x - X^{2} = 291$

$x^{2} - 100 x + 291 = 0$

(x - 97)(x - 3) = 0
x = 3.

Q:

A clock is set right at 5 a.m. The clock loses 16 minutes in 24 hours.What will be the true time when the clock indicates 10 p.m. on 4th day?

A) 11pm	B) 12pm
C) 1pm	D) 2pm

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 11pm

Explanation:

Time from 5 am. on a day to 10 pm. on 4th day = 89 hours.

Now 23 hrs 44 min. of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock.

356/15 hrs of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock

89 hrs of this clock = (24 x 31556 x 89) hrs of correct clock.

= 90 hrs of correct clock.

So, the correct time is 11 p.m.

Q:

Find the sum of the Arithmetic Series upto 36 terms

2, 5, 8, 11,...

A) 3924	B) 1962
C) 1684	D) 1452

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1962

Explanation:

Arithmetic Series ::

An Arithmetic Series is a series of numbers in which each term increases by a constant amount.

How to find the sum of the Arithmetic Sequence or Series for the given Series ::

When the series contains a large amount of numbers, its impractical to add manually. You can quickly find the sum of any arithmetic sequence by multiplying the average of the first and last term by the number of terms in the sequence.

That is given by $S_{n} = \frac{n (a_{1} + a_{n})}{2}$ Where n = number of terms, a1 = first term, an = last term

Here Last term is given by $a_{n} = a_{1} + (n - 1) d$ where d = common difference

Now given Arithmetic Series is

2, 5, 8, 11,...

Here a1 = 2, d = 3, n = 36

Now, $a_{n} = a_{1} + (n - 1) d a_{36} = 2 + (36 - 1) 3 = 105 + 2 = 107$

Now, Sum to 36 terms is given by

$S_{36} = \frac{36 (2 + 107)}{2} = \frac{36 x 109}{2} = \frac{3924}{2} = 1962$

Therefore, Sum to 36 terms of the series 2, 5, 8, 11,... is 1962.
