Questions numbering from 34-38 will be related to the passage given below:

Mr. Khatri bought Bahi-Khata bookstore with an opening stock of ‘x’ books. Before opening the shop for sale, he doubled the opening stock. In the first sale, he sold ‘y’ books. He bought more books such that the stock was now thrice the remainder and sold twice the number he sold the first time. Then he bought more books such that the stock was now four times the remainder and sold double the number than the last sale. He again increased his stock to five times the remainder and again sold twice the number of the previous time after which there were no books left to sell.

Question- If the opening stock is 64 books, how many books did Mr. Khatri sell in the first sale?

If the closing stock at the end of all the purchases and sales described in the passage is 12y (where y is the same as the answer to the previous question) instead of nil, how many books would there have been in the opening stock?

Assuming that the facts set out in the passage remain the same, what is the minimum opening stock required, such that Mr. Khatri has no books left to sell at the end of the transactions described in the passage?

If Mr. Khatri purchased only x books each of the four times, but sold the same number as described in the main passage, and the closing stock is nil, then choose the correct option:

Using the information in the previous question 1.4, and the additional data given below, find x (where ‘x’ is the opening stock of books): The cost of all books in stock was Rs. 25,000 and they were sold for a total of Rs. 60,000 at Rs. 40 each.

Questions numbering from 41-45 will be related to the paragraph given below:

I was concerned to read of the proposals for compulsory fluoridation of water. Fluoride is a medication and one with well–reported side effects, such as increased incidence of osteoporosis. Those not wealthy enough to afford water filtering systems will be forced to consume it; the dose will not depend on any perceived ‘need’ but on the amount of water consumed: I get through up to seven litres a day so my dosage would be up to 14 times that of many people.
Additionally, the measure merely serves as a temporary cover for the real problem – that of sugar consumption; it is not unfluoridated water but sugar which causes tooth decay; it also causes diabetes, immune system impairment and obesity. Fluoridation therefore merely enables people to solve their consciences in the short term regarding bad diet and to do themselves long–term damage; it is like shooting the miner’s canary. It is a civil liberties issue; if fluoride, why not any other medication? It is frightening to think that this question is even being raised.

Question- What role does the author’s claim that fluoridation merely enables people to solve their consciences in the short term regarding bad diet and to do themselves long–term damage play in
the argument?

Which of the following most accurately expresses the main point of the passage?

What is the assumption required by the author’s argument?

Which of the following, if true, weakens the author’s argument?

Which of the following, if true, strengthens the author’s argument?

Questions numbering from 46-50 will be related to the paragraph given below:

Carmakers will be more than a decade late in meeting their target to produce less polluting vehicles because people are buying bigger, more powerful models, figures suggest. Sales of small cars fell to their lowest level for seven years last year while large vehicles secured their highest share of the market yet. One in eight cars sold last year was a 4X4 or people carrier, compared with one in eighteen a decade ago. Average emissions of carbon dioxide for new cars fell by 1.2 per cent last year, well short of the industry target of a 5 per cent decline. The fall was almost entirely due to the rise in popularity of diesel vehicles. The European target of reducing average CO2 emissions for new cars was 140g/km by 2008. The British average last year was 169.4g/km and, on current trends, 140g/km will be reached only in 2021.
The association of car manufacturers said that drivers were partly to blame for demanding bigger cars with faster acceleration and more gadgets. It said that falling prices of new cars and rising incomes had encouraged millions of drivers to buy larger vehicles. Features such as air–conditioning and electric windows, which add weight and consume energy, have become almost ubiquitous. Safety systems such as airbags and side–impact bars had added weight while rules on pedestrian–friendly bonnet design had made cars less aerodynamic, it said.
The association’s report on the emissions of new cars accused drivers of failing to reflect their concerns about global warming in their choice of car. ‘Consumers must also take an increased responsibility for the vehicles they purchase and the journeys they make,’ it said. But environmentalists say that carmakers are to blame for the poor progress on emissions.

Question- Which of the following, if true, would most weaken car manufacturers’ claim in the passage above?

Which of the following most accurately represents the author’s main point in the passage above?
