Instructions [51 - 52 ]
Read the Passage below and answer the question that follows:
Human beings are connected at the level of feeling and emotion: in such a degree that there is practically a
subterranean network of the psyche in which some encounters are damaging, some nourishing. This emotional
exchange is typically at a subtle. almost imperceptible level. The way a colleague says ‘thank you’ can leave one
feeling ignored, resented or genuinely welcomed and appreciated. We catch feelings from one another as
though they were some kind of social virus. Every space is full of emotional signals and every time people
connect, they transmit and receive those signals. These emotional encounters have an effect on all the people
in that particular circle. Those who are socially skillful can control these emotional messages. A civil and polite

society is able to regulate and control these emotional relationships in less damaging ways. The Emotional
Quotient of a society is the sum total of the emotional intelligence of its citizens. When we compliment others
for being considerate, we are actually acknowledging their emotional intelligence. The company of such people
is a relaxing experience and they are a valuable and enriching presence in any society. Whether we like it or not,
we are all interdependent in terms of our feelings and emotions and our emotional intelligence form the
framework of society.

Instructions [62 - 64 ]
Read the passage and answerthe question thatfollows:
The human body is nothing but a set of chemical reactions in some form or the other. The religious scriptures
believe that man was made out of the image of the creator of the universe. Does this mean that Oxygen was
pumped into the human body and carbon dioxide pumped out to create this being? Is life just the process of
oxygenation and decarburization? If the human body is managed by these two processes, then we can safely
believe that life came into existence due to these chemical reactions. The highly complex chemicals
compounds present in the human body are not evident in lower animals or plants. These substances were born
because of the synthesis of other smaller molecules.
A large number of recognized chemicals has been observed and provedto be involved in the transmission of
impulses from one tissue or cell to another. Some examples of such chemicals are adrenaline, dopamine,
acetylcholine, endorphins and encephalin. The increase or decrease of any one of these chemicals, interferes
with the normal functioning of cells and tissues. This creates diseases in the body, and the restoration of their
supply cures the diseases. The deficiency of acetylcholine leads to Alzheimer’s disease, while a decrease in
dopamine leads to Parkinson’s disease and its increase causes schizophrenia, a mental disorder. Endorphins
and encephalon work like a drug to produce sensations like pleasure and reduce pain. In depressed persons,
lower levels of serotonin and adrenaline are observed. Exercise and meditation help release endorphins in order
to produce a scene of calmness and pleasure. As for love, the brain releases a chemical substance called
phenyl ethylene which acts like an amphetamineto increase mental alertness and physical energy. People with
low levels of these chemicals develop a craving for foods such as chocolates, which are rich in such
compounds.

After reading the passage given below, choose the best answer to each question that follows:
In contrast to traditional analyses of minority business, the sociological analysis contends that minority
business ownership is a group-level phenomenon, in that it is largely dependent upon social-group resources for
its development. Specifically. this analysis indicates that support networksplay critical role in starting and
maintaining minority business enterprises by providing owners with a range of assistance, from the informal
encouragementof family members and friends to dependable sources of labor andclientele from the owner's
ethnic group. Suchself-help networks, which encourage and support ethnic minority entrepreneurs, consist of
“primary” institutions, those closest to the individual in shaping his or her behavior and beliefs. They are
characterized by the face-to-face association and cooperation of persons united by ties of mutual concern.
They form an intermediate social level between the individual and larger “secondary”institutions based on
impersonal relationships. Primary institutions comprising the support network include kinship, peer. and
neighborhood or community subgroups. A major function of self-help networks is financial support. Most
scholars agree that minority business owners have dependedprimarily on family funds and ethnic community
resources for investmentcapital. Personal savings have been accumulated, often through frugal living habits
that require sacrifices by the entire family and are thus a product of long-term family financial behavior.
Additional loans andgifts from relatives, forthcoming because of group obligation rather than narrow
investment calculation, have supplemented personal savings. Individual entrepreneurs do not necessarily rely
on their kin because they cannot obtain financial backing from commercial resources. They may actually avoid
banks because they assume that commercial institutions either cannot comprehend the special needs of
minority enterprise or charge unreasonably high interest rates. Within the larger ethnic community, rotating
credit associations have been usedto raise capital. These associations are informal clubs of friends and other
trusted members of the ethnic group who make regular contributions to a fund that is given to each contributor
in rotation. One author estimates that 40 percent of New York Chinatown firms established during 1900-1950
utilized such associations as their initial source of capital. However, recent immigrants andthird or fourth
generationsof older groups now employrotating credit associations only occasionally to raise investment funds.
Some groups, like Black Americans, found other means of financial support for their entrepreneurial efforts. The
first Black-operated banks were created in the late nineteenth century as depositories for dues) collected from
fraternal or lodge groups. which themselves had sprung from Black churches. Black banks made limited
investments in other Black enterprises. Irish immigrants in American cities organized many building and loan
associations to provide capital for home construction and purchase. They, in turn, provided work for many Irish
home-building contractor firms. Other ethnic and minority groups followed similar practices in founding ethnic-
directed financial institutions. (The passage taken from Book/News/Opensource)

Probability that A releases a mobile = 0.7
Probability that mobile is a success given that it is released by A = 0.8
Probability that mobile is released by A and is success = 0.8*0.7 = 0.56
And probability that mobile is a success and released by B = 0.28
Total probability for success = 0.56+0.28 = 0.84
Now Probability that it is success and is released by A = 0.56/0.84 = 2/3

Price of 20 bananas , apples and oranges = 200 x (1)
Now f the price of an apple increases by 10%,
it becomes = 6.6x
so price of 20 apples = 132x
if price of an orange increases by 30% it becomes = 3.9x
so price of 20 oranges = 78x
if price of a banana increases by 20%
it becomes 1.2 x
so price of 20 bananas = 24x
Now total price of 20 bananas , apples and oranges =234x (2)
So Percentage change in price = 234x−200x

Number of electronics engineers initially = 23 × 252 = 168
​

So number of computer engineers initially = 252-168 =84

Now number of computer engineers recruited to make ratio 1:1 = 168-84 =84
Let average age of computer engineers be x
so total age will be 168x
Now average age of electronics engineers will be : x+2
So total age will be : (x+2) 168
Now as per given

In these type of questions
we go through the options :
Now when x=6 or -6 the value of y is 0
so let us put value of y=0 in all options and check which option satisfies x=6 and -6
Putting x=6 and y=0 in option A
we get |6+0|-|6-0| = 0
But RHS =6 so this option is discarded
Now putting in option B
|6-0|+|6+0| =12
But RHS is 10
so this option is also discarded .
Now option C we get
|6|-0 =6
so we can say graph can be of |x|-|y|=6
Now satisfying option D
we get |6+0|-|6-0|=0
So we can say 6,0 and -6,0 satisfies option D as well
Now you have to eliminate between C and D
If you observe |x+y|-|x-y|=0 will pass through origin
and the graph here is not passing through origin so you can eliminate option D
Therefore the graph will be |x|-|y|=6

Let x + 4 =y
3 (x+6)(x+12) 3∗(y+2)(y+8)
So, the expression 2(x+4)
equals 2∗y
​ ​

This equals 32
× (y + 16/y + 10)
​

The minimum value of y + 16/y is 8 when y equals 4

So, the minimum value of the expression is 3/2*18 = 27

Logical Reasoning
26. B
First letter is coded with the 2nd to the right of it in alphabet series
2nd letter is coded with immediate previous letter
3rd letter with immediate previous letter

Downloaded from Cracku.in For MBA/CAT Courses: 6303239042 44/50

4th letter is coded with 2nd to the right of it in alphabet series
so KLMN will be coded as MKLP
27. A
P$Q means P is the father of Q
Now Q#R will mean Q is mother of R
So we can say R's mother's father is P
So R is either Grand daughter or Grand son of P
Now R@S means R is brother of S so R is a male so R is grandson of P
28. D
Take 1st letter of all terms we get a series
F,I,L,O,R we get next as U
Taking 2nd letter of all terms we again get a series with a pattern :
A,C,E,G,I so next will be K
so we get answer as UKR
29. B
We have The slip fielder can catch a ball, only if the batsman is brought to the front foot and he tries to hit the
ball
Now going through options
A cannot be inferred
option can be termed as negation of statement and can be inferred
30. B
A chick is young chicken so we get piglet which is a young pig

31. A
210-195 =15 ; 195-175 =20 ; 175-150 =25 ; 150-120 =30
so we get next number as 120-35 =85
32. C
From A and C we get
UT_ _ _ _PQR
Now combining all we get :
UTSVWPQR
So neighbours of W are P and V
33. A
We get the arrangement as :

U and T are adjacent to V

34. C

Now 5671-2835 =2836
8505-5671 =2834
Now 11344-8505=2839
Now the difference should have been 2832 so we can say 11344 is the wrong term or it do not belong the group
35. B
7:77
7(7+4) =77
similarly we get 14(14+4) = 252

36. D
I alone will not give us the answer
similarly using 2 we get Pages on Monday + Pages on Tuesday = 300
Combining both we can get pages read on Monday = 300-30 = 270
So D is the correct answer.
37. C
The number in missing term should be 4
The alphabets in 1st term are BCD then DEF so next will be FGH
Now the pattern is B2CD ,DE3F,FGH4
38. A
First we have to reverse the word RESERVE
We get E V R E S E R
Now E+2 =G , V+2 =X ,R+2 =T ,E+2 =G,S+2 =U, E+2 =G , R+2 =T
Similarly for PRESENT
we will get code as VPGUGTR
39. C
REPTILE is a 7 letter word and we have 72 = 49
Similarly snake is a 5 letter word and we have 52 = 25
Therefore CROCODILE will be 92 = 81
40. C
We observe that :
Step II+5 = Step III and Step III-2 =StepIV
Step IV -3 = Step II
Now therefore Step II for 159 = 156
Now Input is k then step 1 is k^2 and step II is k^2+k
We get k^2+k =156
k=12
so input is 12

41. D
The digits at odd places are getting double than the previous odd digit
so we get 7,14,28 , 56
so 56 is the answer.

If I drive a car, then it is a BMW or a Skoda.
From this statement all the given statements can be concluded
Hence the correct answer is all of the above
43. B
The letters in the first half and last half of the code are separately reversed to obtain the word.
So we get INVERTIBRATE as answer
44. C
Step IV we have 9, 75, 113, 213, 33, 5
Now step II+5 = Step III and Step III-2 =StepIV
So we get Step II Step IV -3
Now so Step II =6,72,110,210,30,2
Now Input is k then step 1 is k^2 and step 2 is k^2+k
so equating k^2+k with numbers we get input as :
2,8,10,14,5,1
45. A
S is lighter than only Q so we can say S is 2nd heaviest and Q is heaviest
P is heavier than 3 persons so P is the third heaviest
we get Q>S>P
Now T>R as per 1 and R is not the lightest so U is the lightest
we get Q>S>P>T>R>U
so T and S are lighter and heavier than P respectively.

46. C
It says "Whenever I go shopping. I end up spending more’
this is of the form x implies y
so taking negation we get negation y implies negation x
so we get I did not spend more, means I did not go for shopping
Hence option C is the correct answer.
47. C
BCG is codes as EFJ
Each alphabet corresponds to the third alphabet to ts right
so FALSE will be coded as IDOVH
48. C
When a notice is displayed, it is assumed that people will read and follow the content so I is implicit
And as notice threatens any trespassers to be prosecuted so II is implicit
Hence C is the correct answer.
49. D
Unless I score well, I will not get selected
This means If I am selected it means I scored well and if I did not score well I will not be selected
Hence both 2 and 3 can be inferred
50. D
Input is 6, 2, 14, 17, 8, 13
Step I will be 36,4,196,289,64,169
Now step II = Input ^2+Input
we get Step II = 42,6,210,306,72,182
Now Step III = Step II +5
We get Step III = 47,11,215,311,77,187
Now the fifth number from the left end in step III of the following input =77
