    The price of a gold-biscuit is directly proportional to the square of its weight. A person broke down the gold-biscuit in the ratio of 3:2:1 in terms of its weight and faced a loss of ₹ 4,840. Find the initial price of gold-biscuit.

    3. C₹ 7,920
    4. D₹ 8,000

    The least distance of distinct vision (or the near point) for normal eye is taken as 25 cm. This distance increases to 50 cm for an elderly person. If the person tries to read a book at about 25 cm from the eye, the image appears blurred. This defect of the vision of eye is called:

    1. APresbyopia
    2. BHypermetropia or farsightedness
    3. CMyopia or nearsightedness
    4. DAstigmatism
    Answer (A)

    With age the eye loses accommodation, pushing the near point away (25→50 cm) so close objects blur—this age-related condition is presbyopia, so A is correct.

    Take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements. Statements: No paper is car. All cars are marker. Some markers are erasers. Conclusions: I. Some cars are erasers is a possibility. II. Some papers are markers.

    1. AOnly conclusion I follows.
    2. BOnly conclusion II follows.
    3. CBoth conclusions I and II follow.
    4. DNeither I nor II follows.
    Answer (A)

    All cars are markers and some markers are erasers, so it is possible that some cars are erasers—the 'possibility' conclusion I follows; 'No paper is car' fixes no definite paper-marker link, so II does not follow; hence A is correct.
