From the class of Raman, ten students could not participated in the exam and six students failed in that exam. Find the number of boys and number of girls in the class, if boys and girls are in the ratio of 3:2.

34 boys, 26 girls
36 boys, 24 girls
17 boys, 10 girls
Can’t be determined
None of these
Solution:

No of students who passed an exam= 20+25-1= 44
 Total no of students in a class= 44+10+6= 60
Boys and girls ratio is given 3:2
Let boys= 3x and girls=2x
3x+2x= 60,
hence x=12
Boys= 36, girls= 24

Q5. There are 60 students in a class and the ratio of Girls and Boys is 2:1. Sumit is a boy and his rank is 14th from the top in an examination, if there are 10 girls are ahead of Sumit then how many boys after Sumit in an examination?

15
14
16
18
None of these
Solution:

Girls and Boys ratio= 2:1
2x+x=60
x= 40,
So girls= 40 and boys =20
Number of students behind Sumit= 60-14=46
Number of girls behind Sumit=40-10=30
Number of boys behind Sumit= 46-30=16

Directions (6-10): Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.
There are seven persons, A, B, C, D, E, F and G and they are faculty of different subjects viz. Hindi, English, Maths, Science, and Art but not necessarily in the same order. They play different games viz. Polo, Chess, Badminton, Cricket, Football, Tennis, and Kho-Kho but not necessarily in the same order. Only Maths and Science are the subjects which have two faculties and remaining subjects have only one faculty.

The following information is known about them. D is not the faculty of Hindi. A is a faculty of English. B plays either Chess or Tennis. The ones who are the faculties of Science do not play Badminton. D and F are same subject’s faculty. D plays Polo. G plays Football and Neither B nor F is faculty of Maths subject.

B plays either Chess or Tennis so two possible cases will be there which are shown below. G plays Football and Neither B nor F is faculty of Maths subject, if F is not the faculty of Maths it means D is also not the faculty of Maths. D is not the faculty of Hindi it is clear that F is also not the faculty of Hindi so there is only one possibility that D and F are the faculties of Science subject. The person who plays Kho-Kho is a faculty of Maths subject, only C is left so C will be the faculty of Maths.

Directions (11-15): Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions. 

A word and number arrangement machine when given an input line of words and numbers rearranges them following a particular rule in each step. The following is an illustration of input and rearrangement.


Input: Lone fine 38 40 apple 62 grow 61 pineapple snooze 50 44 
Step I: Snooze 3 lone fine 40 apple 62 grow 61 pineapple 50 44
Step II: Snooze 3 lone 20 fine apple 62 grow 61 pineapple 50 44
Step III: Snooze 3 lone 20 pineapple 24 fine apple 62 grow 61 50
Step IV: Snooze 3 lone 20 pineapple 24 grow 35 fine apple 62 61
Step V: Snooze 3 lone 20 pineapple 24 grow 35 fine 47 apple 62
Step VI: Snooze 3 lone 20 pineapple 24 grow 35 fine 47 apple 56

Step VI is the last step, find out in each of the rules followed in the above steps, find out in each of the following questions the appropriate step for the given input. 


Input: Faster 36 what 48 honey loot 53 2 fast beast 60 61 


Q11. Which of the following will be the penultimate step of the above input?

Step VI
Step V
Step IV
Step III
None of these
Solution:

Students let us understand the Logic behind this Question and lets understand how to solve it. As a first step lets first understand the logic behind the Output. If you will see the final output you will observe the following:
i) The machine rearranges one word and one number in each step.
ii) The word with the highest value of sum of its vowels is arranged at the leftmost end. For example snooze(O=15+15+5=35). If two words have the same value of the sum of its vowels then they are arranged in alphabetical order.
iii) The number are arranged alternatively in each step in increasing order and the numerical value of the sum of the vowels in the word arranged is subtracted from that number.
For example loot=30 – 2 = 28

Now lets take the arrangement given in the Question

Input: Faster 36 what 48 honey loot 53 2 fast beast 60 61
