The number of students in three classes is in the ratio \(3:13:6\). If 18 students are added to each class, the ratio changes to \(15:35:21\).
The total number of students in all the three classes in the beginning was:

The number of units of a product sold in three different years and the respective net profits are presented in the figure above. The cost/unit in Year 3 was ₹1, which was half the cost/unit in Year 2. The cost/unit in Year 3 was one-third of the cost/unit in Year 1. Taxes were paid on the selling price at 10%, 13% and 15% respectively for the three years. Net profit is calculated as the difference between the selling price and the sum of cost and taxes paid in that year. The ratio of the selling price in Year 2 to the selling price in Year 3 is \(\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\).

Six students P, Q, R, S, T and U, with distinct heights, compare their heights and make the following observations.
Observation I: S is taller than R.
Observation II: Q is the shortest of all.
Observation III: U is taller than only one student.
Observation IV: T is taller than S but is not the tallest.
The number of students that are taller than R is the same as the number of students shorter than \(\underline{\hspace{2cm}.}\)

The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 7 to 3. Among the options below, an acceptable value for the total number of students in the class is:

Consider the following sentences:
(i) Everybody in the class is prepared for the exam.
(ii) Babu invited Danish to his home because he enjoys playing chess.
Which of the following is the CORRECT observation about the above two sentences?

A circular sheet of paper is folded along the lines in the directions shown. The paper, after being punched in the final folded state as shown and unfolded in the reverse order of folding, will look like \(\underline{\hspace{2cm}}\)

\(\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\) is to surgery as writer is to \(\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\)
Which one of the following options maintains a similar logical relation in the above sentence?

We have 2 rectangular sheets of paper, M and N, of dimensions 6 cm × 1 cm each. Sheet M is rolled to form an open cylinder by bringing the short edges of the sheet together. Sheet N is cut into equal square patches and assembled to form the largest possible closed cube. Assuming the ends of the cylinder are closed, the ratio of the volume of the cylinder to that of the cube is:

Details of prices of two items P and Q are presented in the above table. The ratio of cost of item P to cost of item Q is 3:4. Discount is calculated as the difference between the marked price and the selling price. The profit percentage is calculated as the ratio of the difference between selling price and cost, to the cost.
The formula for Profit Percentage is:
\[ \text{Profit \%} = \frac{\text{Selling Price} - \text{Cost}}{\text{Cost}} \times 100 \] The discount on item Q, as a percentage of its marked price, is:

There are five bags each containing identical sets of ten distinct chocolates. One chocolate is picked from each bag. The probability that at least two chocolates are identical is:

Given below are two statements 1 and 2, and two conclusions I ans II.

Conclusion I: Some pathogens are bacteria.
Conclusion II: All pathogens are not bacteria.
Based on the given statements and conclusions, which option is logically correct?

Consider two rectangular sheets, Sheet M and Sheet N of dimensions 6 cm x 4 cm each.
Folding operation 1: The sheet is folded into half by joining the short edges of the current shape.
Folding operation 2: The sheet is folded into half by joining the long edges of the current shape.
