Answers :
Directions (1-5):
NOTE: D is 40 years old and the persons who are sitting to the left of D are younger than D and the persons who are sitting to the right of D are elder to D.
From the above statement, we have two possible cases
Now the possible cases are,
By solving Q+R=75; R-Q=15, we get Q/R=30 years and Q/R=45 years. We can also know the person second to the right of P is 10 years elder than P. Now P’s age is 20 years.
But in case 2B, R sits left of D it doesn’t satisfy the given condition(D is 40 years old and the persons who are sitting to the left of D are younger than D and the persons who are sitting to the right of D is elder to D). So this case is eliminated.
Now Case 1 becomes
1) Answer: C
2) Answer: C
3) Answer: D
4) Answer: C
5) Answer: D
Directions (6-8):
6) Answer: A
7) Answer: B
8) Answer: D
9) Answer: E
The report by a UN Intergovernmental Panel claims that the global temperature must not exceed 1.5°C to prevent catastrophic climate change. Greenhouse gas emissions need to decrease by 45%, hence option e is the answer.
10) Answer: D
As all the farmers are lacking something or the other, so if they come together as a cooperative they can pool their resources and use them with no additional costs and hence cultivate efficiently. While all other options make them pay from their pockets or guarantee uncertainties as in the case of migrating to the city. Option 4 is the only one providing an alternative which is helping everyone out and also ensuring that resources don’t go to waste.
