Given x + y = 20
( + ) = 20
+
+ 2xy = 400
+
= 400 2 84
= 400 168 = 232
14. Option E
15. Option C
Let the digit of unit place be x.
So, the digit of tens place will be (15 x)
[10 (15 x) + x] [10x + (15 x)] = 9
150 10x + x 10x 15 + x = 9
135 18 x = 9
18x = 126
x=7
Thus, the digits of the number are 7 and 8.
So, the multiple of digits = 56
16. Option E
Let the original selling price be Rs.x.
Therefore, 779 = x (1 24/100)
779 = x (76/100)
x = 779 100 / 76 = Rs.1025
17. Option E
18. Option B

Here the format is not cleared. It may be different in types. According to statement, they are
asking to send an official letters rather than semi-official but the format of letter may be
different and we can send different types of letters on the same subject.
67. Option A
Statement said to check the availability of tickets from Delhi to Lucknow so, they should
have know the desired mode of travel. To check availability no need of the details of the
preson. Feel it practically when you goes to a travel agent and asking for availability. Once
you sure about availability then Assumption (II) counts for getting a ticket. So, only
Assumption (I) is implicit.
68. Somebody (means that person) told you to use 0.7 pen means either he has used or listen the
quality of that pen. So, he is suggesting to you. So, Assumption (II) is implicit. If the category
of pen is suggested means there are also different type of pens available. So, Assumption (I)
is also implicit.
69. Option D
In order to build more space, extra FSI needs to be bought one person is telling such
statement to other. According to statement, they have to bought FSI hardly matter that the
person being told does not know the meaning of FSI. If he does not know the meaning he can
ask but mostly we should assume that they are handling such project means they both know
the meaning of FSI. So, Assumption (I) is not implicit. More space will reduce the
construction cost. Regarding this assumption we cannot say anything because nothing is said
in statement regarding Assumption (II) and also it cannot implicit. So, finally neither (I) nor
(II) is implicit.
70. Option D
Assumption (I) said sign-board can be prepared without using any language then how can an
instruction will be written in sign-board. So, Assumption (I) is not implicit. In Assumption (II),
the word only makes this assumption non implicit. A person can also guide better than a signboard. In such a condition Assumption (II) is also not implicit.
