16. The strength of the electronics industry in Japan is the Japanese ability to organise production and marketing rather than their achievements in original research.The British are generally recognised as a far more inventive collection of individuals, but never seem able to exploit what they invent. There are many examples,from the TSR Z hovercraft, high speed train and Sinclair scooter to the Triumph, BSA and Norton Motorcycle which all prove this sad rule. The Japanese were able to exploits their strengths in marketing and development many years ago, and their success was at first either not understood in the West or was dismissed as something which could have been produced only at their low price. They were sold because they were cheap copies of other people’s ideas churned out of a workhouse which was dedicated to hard grind above all else.It is evident from the passage that the strength of a country’s industry depends upon
A.original research B.international cooperation C.dedicated workforce D.electronic development
Answer: C

22. A number when divided by 342 gives a remainder 47.When the same number is divided by 19 what would be the remainder?
A.19 B.9 C.2 D.none of these
Answer: B
Explanation:
Number=342 K + 47 = 19 * 18 K + 19 * 2 + 9=19 ( 18K + 2) + 9. The given number when divided by 19 gives 18 K + 2 as quotient and 9 as remainder.
Number=342 K + 47 = 19 * 18 K + 19 * 2 + 9=19 ( 18K + 2) + 9. The given number when divided by 19 gives 18 K + 2 as quotient and 9 as remainder.
23. At 15:15 pm railway time, what will be the angle between minute and hour hand?
A.0 degrees B.180 degrees C.360 degrees D.Both a and c
Answer: D
Explanation:
At 15:15 both minute and hour hands will be in same position. Hence the angle between them will be zero degrees. However 360 degree also means
both minute and hour hands are in same position. Hence correct answers are both zero and 360 degree
At 15:15 both minute and hour hands will be in same position. Hence the angle between them will be zero degrees. However 360 degree also means
both minute and hour hands are in same position. Hence correct answers are both zero and 360 degree
24. Let Raj be 3 years older than Ravi and Hema be two years younger than Ravi. Raj is three times as old as Rahul who is Hema’s brother. The ratio of the ages of Hema and Her brother is 3:2. Find by how much percentage Raj’s age is more than Hema’s when Raj will be 20 years old ?
A.33.33 B.40 C.60 D.none of these
Answer: A
Explanation:
Whatever be the additonal facts, always the difference between ages of Raj and Hema is 5 years. Then Hema’s age will be 15. Hence Raj’s age will be
more than Hema’s by (5/ Hema’s age) * 100 = 5/15 * 100 = 33.33%
Whatever be the additonal facts, always the difference between ages of Raj and Hema is 5 years. Then Hema’s age will be 15. Hence Raj’s age will be
more than Hema’s by (5/ Hema’s age) * 100 = 5/15 * 100 = 33.33%
25. A hat vendor bought hats at Rs 5 per 3 hats. He sold them at Rs 10 per 4 hats. What was his profit percentage ?
A.25 B.50 C.30 D.none of these
Answer: B
Explanation:
Cost price per hat = 5/3 Selling price per hat = 10/4 Profit percentage = (S.P – C.P / C.P) x 100 Substituting the above SP and CP we get 50%.
Cost price per hat = 5/3 Selling price per hat = 10/4 Profit percentage = (S.P – C.P / C.P) x 100 Substituting the above SP and CP we get 50%.
26. Find by how much percentage the average of first 10 odd numbers (starting from 1) is greater than the last term ?
A.900/19 % B.800/66 % C.Cannot be determined D.none of these
Answer: A
Explanation:
First ten odd numbers form an arithmetic progression of the form 1,3,5,7,9…… here a = first term = 1 d = common difference = 2 Average of
first n numbers = (2a + (n – 1)d)/2 n th term of the AP = a + (n – 1)d Substituting a = 1, d = 2 and n = 10 in the above formulas average of
first 10 numbers = 10 10 th term of the AP = 19 Therefore average of first 10 terms is 19 – 10 = 9 greater than the last term. Hence the average
is greater than the sum by 9/19 X 100 = 900/19 %

29. Divide 45 into four parts such that when 2 is added to the first part, 2 is subtracted from the second part, 2 is multiplied by the third part and the fourth part is divided by two, all result in the same number.
A.8, 12, 5, 20 B.4, 10, 5, 15 C.5, 10, 6, 29 D.none of these
Answer: A
Explanation:
a + b + c + d =45; a+2 = b-2 = 2c = d/2; a=b-4; c = (b-2)/2; d =2(b-2); b-4 + b + (b-2)/2 + 2(b-2) = 45;.
a + b + c + d =45; a+2 = b-2 = 2c = d/2; a=b-4; c = (b-2)/2; d =2(b-2); b-4 + b + (b-2)/2 + 2(b-2) = 45;.
30. What is the sum of all numbers between 100 and 1000 which are divisible by 14 ?
A.35392 B.39352 C.33259 D.none of these
Answer: A
Explanation:
The number closest to 100 which is greater than 100 and divisible by 14 is 112, which is the first term of the series which has to be summed.
The number closest to 1000 which is less than 1000 and divisible by 14 is 994, which is the last term of the series.
112 + 126 + …. + 994 = 14(8+9+ … + 71) = 35392
