In almost all the modern opinions of women it is curious to observe how many lies have to be
assumed before a case can be made. A young lady flies from England to Australia; another wins an air
race; a Duchess creates a speed record in reaching India; others win motoring trophies; and now the
King's prize for marksmanship has gone to a woman. All of which is very interesting and possibly
praiseworthy as means of spending one's leisure time; and if it were left to that, even if no more were
added than the perfectly plain fact that such feats could not have been achieved by their mothers and
grandmothers, we would be content to doff our hats to the ladies with all courtesy and respect which
courage, endurance and ability have always rightly demanded.

But it is not left to that; and considerably more is added. It is suggested, for example, that the tasks
were beyond the mothers and grandmothers, nor for the very obvious reason that they had no
motorcars and airplanes in which to amuse their leisure hours, but because women were then
enslaved by the convention of natural inferiority to man. Those days, we are told, "in which women
were held incapable of positive social achievements” are gone forever. It does not seem to have
occurred to this critic that the very fact of being a mother or grandmother indicates a certain positive
social achievement; the achievement of which, indeed, probably left little leisure for travelling airily
about the hemispheres. The same critic goes on to state, with all the solemn emphasis of profound
thought, that "the important thing is not that women are the same as men -- that is a fallacy -- but
that they are just as valuable to society as men. Equality of citizenship means that there are twice as
many heads to solve present-day problems as there were to solve the problems of the past. And two
heads are better than one." And the dreadful proof of the modern collapse of all that was meant by
man and wife and the family council, is that this sort of imbecility can be taken seriously.

The London Times, in a studied leading article, points out that the first emancipators of women
(whoever they were) had no idea what lay in store for future generations. "Could they have foreseen
it, they might have disarmed much opposition by pointing to the possibilities, not only of freedom, but
of equality and fraternity also."

And we ask, what does it all mean? What in the name of all that is graceful and dignified does
fraternity with women mean? What nonsense, or worse, is indicated by the freedom and equality of
the sexes?

We mean something quite definite when we speak of a man being a little free with the ladies. What
definite freedom is meant when the freedom of women is proposed? If it merely means the right to
free opinions, the right to vote independently of fathers and husbands, what possible connection does
it have with the freedom to fly to Australia or score bulls-eyes at Bisley? If it means, as we fear it
does, freedom from responsibility of managing a home and a family, an equal right with men in
business and social careers, at the expense of home and family, then such progress we can only call
progressive deterioration.
And for men too, there is, according to a famous authoress, a hope of freedom. Men are beginning to
revolt, we are told, against the old tribal custom of desiring fatherhood. The male is casting off the
shackles of being a creator and a man. When all are sexless there will be equality. There will be no
women and no men. There will be but a fraternity, free and equal. The only consoling thought is that it
will endure but for one generation.

Explanations:

Reasoning:
Questions 1 - 5:

1. Ans: 4 As seen in the chart, kiran is anuj’s sister. Aman is kiran’s son and Resham is Anuj’s
daughter. So Aman and Resham are children of sister (Kiran) and brother (Anuj) respectively,
hence, they are cousins.

2. Ans: 1 Subodh is husband of Kiran who is the daughter of Madhu and Jabbar. So husband of
Jabbar’s daughter will be Jabbar’s son-in-law.

3. Ans: 1 Resham is daughter of Divya and Anuj. Kiran is sister of Anuj and aunt of Resham. So,
Resham is the niece of Kiran.

4. Ans: 3 Divya is wife of Anuj and Kiran is sister of Anuj. Brother’s wife is a sister-in-law so is
the relation of Kiran with Divya.

5. Ans: 2 Kiran is the daughter of Madhu and wife of Subodh. So, Madhu is the mother-in-law of
Subodh.

Questions 6-10:

6. Ans: 2
 The input into B is 1200 units and the output from B is 250 + 550 =800 units. Hence, 400
units will be the demand at city B.

7. Ans: 1
C has a net output of 1100 units. If the demand is 225 at C, then to fulfill all conditions we
need an input of 1325 into C. This will occur only if the value of M is 1075.

8. Ans: 1
The total demand in E is equal to the total input into E.
(Which is 550 + 800 +650 = 2000). Hence, the demand in A will be 2500.

9. Ans: 2
Total demand will be equal to:
A + B +C + D + E = 2500 + 400 + 225 + 650 + 2000 = 5775.

10. Ans: 3
Total demand will be equal to:
A + B = 2500 + 400 = 2900.

Questions 11-15:

11. Ans: 4
The states from the least to the most electrified are
D — 60%
E — 50%
B — 45%
F — 30%
Therefore, F gets the fourth rank

12. Ans: 1
Since D  100 - 60  40% eclectrified
C  100 - 20  80% electrified.

13. Ans: 4
Since the budget for electrification per village is same, therefore
Ratio of number of villages not electrified = Ratio of budget of electrification
 Required ratio = 0.45x8 = 6
0.60x5 5
14. Ans: 4
The number of villages in state A and in state C may not be same. The number of villages in
state A and state C are not given, hence, combined percentage can not be found.

15. Ans: 2
Assume number of villages in state C = 100
Then, number of villages provided with electricity, electric pump and deep tube wells together
= 0.80x0.60x0.125x100 = 6
Since total number of villages in state C = 150,
So, required number of villages = 6 x 1.5 = 9

Questions 16-20:

16. Ans: 4
Each of the statements (A) or (B) alone do not give the answer. Together also, we see that
there is no mention of the position of shop II with regard to I and III. Hence a definite answer
cannot be obtained.

17. Ans: 2
Let x be his height. From (A) x + 5 > 170. Therefore x could be greater or less than 170.
From (B) x + 2 < 170  x x is definitely less than 170.
18. Ans: 4
 Statement (A) says that P is not the youngest and statement (B) indicates that S is not the
youngest. Combining both (A) and (B) doesn’t indicate who is younger among
R and Q.

19. Ans: 2
The statement (A) indicates that the Chief Guest spoke longer than 25 minutes but does not
say how much longer than 25 minutes. So statement (B) indicates that the Chief Guest spoke
for lesser than 35 minutes. Hence we can infer from B alone that the Chief Guest did not
speak for more than 45 minutes.

20. Ans: 3
We cannot obtain the answer from (A) or (B) alone. When (A) and (B) are combined, we find
that (B) indicates that all Mingoes are honest. Since all Lingoes are Mingoes (A) it follows that
all Lingoes are honest. The answer to the question asked is hence ‘No’.

21. Ans: 4
From the answer choice none of these statements are logically related to each other.

22. Ans: 4
From the answer choice CDA the statements are logically related to each other.

23. Ans: 2
From the answer choice AEB the statements are logically related to each other.

23. Answer 3: ‘Since’ indicates that the action is still continuing. Therefore, …have been
watching….

not correct in this context . “survival in” is also m wrong.

25. Answer 4: It was not possible for her to… “unable” speaks of the inability to feel. “disabled”
and “incapacitated” are wrong vocabulary as they refer to being handicapped.

26. Answer 1: ‘As soon as’ indicates that two actions took place simultaneously. They must be
consistent. ‘…..landed….rushed…’ “grounded” means to prevent operations.

27. Answer 3: “Chance to get” Use of the infinitive is appropriate in this context. The reflexive
pronoun is used in the right way in this option.

28. Answer 2: Wrong vocabulary usage in other options. “Unique” refers to ‘one of a kind’. “rare”
in this context means not frequently diagnosed. Unnatural and special are quite inappropriate.
As diseases are neither
29. Answer 3: A special expression that means thorough in knowledge.

30. Answer 4: To pretend to be serious when one doesn’t really feel so. An idiom.

31. Answer 1: Experts ‘read’ signals ‘from’… is the correct usage. “Can able to” is wrong. “Can”
includes the ability and therefore “able to” is redundant here.

32. Answer 3: ‘…are in a positive thought…’ “are being” is passive voice which is not indicated in
the context.

33. Answer 4: Grammatical rule….is complicated…. Parallel expressions.

34. Answer 2: A cause ‘for’ palpitation….’this’ can be…Other prepositions are wrong in the
context.

35. Answer 3: The goal ‘of’ not ‘from’.
