consider investment proposals in India.
Raising the question “What comparative advantages does
India offer as an investment market ?”, he said though labour in
India is expensive, wage-levels are offset by productivity level to
a large extent.
Answer Figures Acknowledging that the vastness of the Indian market is a
great inducement for investment in manufacturing industry, he
wondered if it was justifiable to provide that overseas remittance

The Ambassador said that foreign investors needed to be
assured of the continuity and consistency of the liberalisation
policy and the fact that new measures which had been put into
force by means of administrative notifications without amending
government laws acted as a damper.

The Ambassador pleaded for speedy formulation of the exit
policy and pointed to the highly restrictive control by the government
on disinvestment by foreign partners in joint ventures in India.

Answers & Explanations

1. (e) 3 × ? + 30 = 0 numbers will be 20 and 50, respectively.

30 20
? 10 Required % = 100 40
3 50
2. (a) ? = 40.83 × 1.02 × 1.2 = 49.97592 13. (a) Let the cost price of an article be ` 100
then, S.P. = 100 + 10 = ` 110
1 3 1 22
3. (e) ? = 3 6 1 If S.P. = 2 × 110 = ` 220
3 7 2 7
(220 100)
10 45 3 22 then, profit % = 100 = 120%
2.44 100
3 7 2 7 14. (b) Ratio of investment
4. (d) 3978 + 112 × 2 = ? 2 = 3500 : 4500 : 5500 = 35 : 45 : 55 = 7 : 9 : 11
? = (3978 +224) × 2 = 8404 Since, Ratio of investment is same as ratio of profit.
Ratio of profit = 7 : 9 : 11

5. (e) 103.7 101.3 10? Now, profit = ` 405

A’s share = 405 = `Rs 105

15. (c) Part of the tank filled in one hour =
2 b c 8 16 16
10? 105 105 2
a a bc 1010
Hence, the tank will be filled in 16 hours.
6. (e) ? = 300 + (100 × 2) = 300 + 200 = 500 16. (d) Part of the tank filled by the three pipes working

7. (a) ? 4 simultaneously in one hour is =
1.3 1.3 1.3 5 6 12 60

2 1 1 60
2 1 1 i.e. it takes hours to fill up the tank completely..
8. (e) 3 7 5 = (3 + 7 – 5) + = 17

17. (c) Any even number is given by 2n for all n Z, where Z
11. (a) 25 92 32 81 2592 . is a set of integers. This is divisible by 9 if it form 9 × 2n
Difference = 25 × 92 – 2592 = 18n, which is divisible by 18.
= 2592 – 2592 = 0 For example, number 36 is even and sum of digits
Hence, the numerical difference is 0. (3 + 6) is 9, which is divisible by 9. Hence, the number
12. (d) Let the third number be 100. Then, the first and second 36 is divisible by 18.

18. (a) Volume of water left in the tank = × b×h 25. (d)
= 20 × 7 × (10 – 2) = 1120 m3
19. (c) r2 = 2 × 11088 28
22
r 2 = 2 × 11088
7
We have to calculate the area of the shaded region
2 11088 7 which is equal to area of square – Area of the circle
r2 = 7056
22 2 22
Required answer = (28) 14 14
r= 7056 = 84 metre 7
= 784 – 616 = 168 m2
22
Circumference = 2 r = 2 × × 84 = 528 metre 26. (c) This is a series of prime number
7 27. (d) Let x = 8
20. (a) x + y = 8 then 15 = 2x – 1 = y
x y 8 28 = 2y – 2 = z
53 = 2z – 3 = m
2 x 16
Next term in the pattern should be 2m – 4 = 2 x 53 – 4
x=8 = 102
y=0 28. (d) It is a combination of two series, namely
Two digit number = 80 24, 49, – 94; and 15, 31, 59, 58
21. (b) Required ratio The two series correspond to
= (4220 – 2420) : 2420 x, (2x + 1), (4x – 1), (4x – 1), (4x – 2)
= 1800 : 2420 Hence the missing term is
= 90 : 121 4 × 24 – 1 = 95
22. (b) C.P. of 20 kg of rice 29. (b) Add 3 after doubling the previous number.
30. (d) The series exhibits the pattern of n2 + 1, n2 – 1,

After increasing the length by 20% and decreasing x 16
We take 46 83 116
the breadth by 20% area is 192. 100 100
(1.2 L) × (0.8 B) = 192 x × 0.46 × 13.28 = 116
