    Aman takes 5 days more than Bhanu to do a certain job and 9 days more than Pankaj. Aman and Bhanu together can do the job in the same time as Pankaj. How many days Aman alone would take to do it?

    1. A5

    Let Aman=A days; Bhanu=A-5, Pankaj=A-9. From 'Aman+Bhanu = Pankaj's time': 1/A+1/(A-5)=1/(A-9); putting A=15 gives 1/15+1/10=1/6=1/(15-9), which holds, so Aman alone takes 15 days.

    Ajay invested a total sum of ₹7,100 in three different schemes of simple interest at 3%, 5% and 7% per annum. At the end of one year, he got same interest in all three schemes. What is the amount of money invested at 5%?

Statement: No singer is director Some directors are teachers Some teachers are students Conclusion: (I) Some singers are students (II) Some directors are students

    1. AOnly conclusion I follows
    2. BOnly conclusion II follows
    3. CNeither conclusion I nor II follows
    4. DBoth conclusions I and II follows
    Answer (B)

    Marked answer is II. NOTE (doubt): logically both links are weak — 'Some directors are teachers' + 'Some teachers are students' join two particular (I-type) statements, so the middle term 'teachers' is not distributed and no valid conclusion about directors–students can be drawn; strictly 'Neither follows' is correct. As marked, II is taken to follow.
