Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
- Step 1: Calculate total for Course A. Sum: $50 + 55 + 60 = 165$. Average: $165 \div 3 = 55$.
- Step 2: Calculate total for Course B. Sum: $60 + 65 + 70 = 195$. Average: $195 \div 3 = 65$.
- Step 3: Calculate total for Course C. Sum: $40 + 45 + 50 = 135$. Average: $135 \div 3 = 45$.
- Step 4: Calculate total for Course D. Sum: $30 + 35 + 40 = 105$. Average: $105 \div 3 = 35$.
- Step 5: Compare averages. Course D: 35, Course C: 45, Course A: 55, Course B: 65. Course D has the lowest average.
- Step 6: Final conclusion. Option (4) Course D is the correct answer.

- 1000 patients currently suffering from a disease were selected to study the effectiveness of treatment of four types of medicines — A, B, C and D. These patients were first randomly assigned into two groups of equal size, called treatment group and control group. The patients in the control group were not treated with any of these medicines; instead they were given a dummy medicine, called placebo, containing only sugar and starch. The following information is known about the patients in the treatment group.
a. A total of 250 patients were treated with type A medicine and a total of 210 patients were treated with type C medicine.
b. 25 patients were treated with type A medicine only. 20 patients were treated with type C medicine only. 10 patients were treated with type D medicine only.
c. 35 patients were treated with type A and type D medicines only. 20 patients were treated with type A and type B medicines only. 30 patients were treated with type A and type C medicines only. 20 patients were treated with type C and type D medicines only.
d. 100 patients were treated with exactly three types of medicines.
e. 40 patients were treated with medicines of types A, B and C, but not with medicines of type D. 20 patients were treated with medicines of types A, C and D, but not with medicines of type B.
f. 50 patients were given all the four types of medicines. 75 patients were treated with exactly one type of medicine. - A new game show on TV has 100 boxes numbered 1, 2, . . . , 100 in a row, each containing a mystery prize. The prizes are items of different types, a, b, c, . . . , in decreasing order of value. The most expensive item is of type a, a diamond ring, and there is exactly one of these. You are told that the number of items at least doubles as you move to the next type. For example, there would be at least twice as many items of type b as of type a, at least twice as many items of type c as of type b and so on. There is no particular order in which the prizes are placed in the boxes.
- The figure below shows the street map for a certain region with the street intersections marked from a through l. A person standing at an intersection can see along straight lines to other intersections that are in her line of sight and all other people standing at these intersections. For example, a person standing at intersection g can see all people standing at intersections b, c, e, f, h, and k. In particular, the person standing at intersection g can see the person standing at intersection e irrespective of whether there is a person standing at intersection f.
Six people U, V, W, X, Y, and Z, are standing at different intersections. No two people are standing at the same intersection.
The following additional facts are known.
1. X, U, and Z are standing at the three corners of a triangle formed by three street segments.
2. X can see only U and Z.
3. Y can see only U and W.
4. U sees V standing in the next intersection behind Z.
5. W cannot see V or Z.
6. No one among the six is standing at intersection d. - The Ministry of Home Affairs is analysing crimes committed by foreigners in different states and union territories (UT) of India. All cases refer to the ones registered against foreigners in 2016. The number of cases – classified into three categories: IPC crimes, SLL crimes and other crimes – for nine states/UTs are shown in the figure below. These nine belong to the top ten states/UTs in terms of the total number of cases registered. The remaining state (among top ten) is West Bengal, where all the 520 cases registered were SLL crimes.
The table below shows the ranks of the ten states/UTs mentioned above among ALL states/UTs of India in terms of the number of cases registered in each of the three category of crimes. A state/UT is given rank r for a category of crimes if there are (r―1) states/UTs having a larger number of cases registered in that category of crimes. For example, if two states have the same number of cases in a category, and exactly three other states/UTs have larger numbers of cases registered in the same category, then both the states are given rank 4 in that category. Missing ranks in the table are denoted by *.IPC crimes SLL crimes Other crimes Delhi * * * Goa * 4 * Haryana 8 6 * Karnataka 3 2 * Kerala * 9 * Maharashtra 3 4 8 Puducherry 13 29 * Tamil Nadu 11 7 * Telangana 6 9 8 West Bengal 17 * 16 - Five vendors are being considered for a service. The evaluation committee evaluated each vendor on six aspects – Cost, Customer Service, Features, Quality, Reach, and Reliability. Each of these evaluations are on a scale of 0 (worst) to 100 (perfect). The evaluation scores on these aspects are shown in the radar chart. For example, Vendor 1 obtains a score of 52 on Reliability, Vendor 2 obtains a score of 45 on Features and Vendor 3 obtains a score of 90 on Cost.

The survey identified four main modes of transportation: Car, Bus, Bicycle, and Walking. Each mode revealed distinct reasons cited by employees for their preferences.
Among respondents, 40% favored commuting by Car. Key reasons included convenience and speed (60%), comfort (30%), and flexibility (10%). 25% of employees preferred the Bus. Reasons for choosing this mode included cost-effectiveness (50%), environmental concerns (30%), and availability (20%). Bicycle commuting was preferred by 20% of the surveyed employees. Reasons included health benefits (40%), environmental concerns (30%), and cost-effectiveness (30%). The remaining employees chose Walking as their preferred mode. They cited proximity to work (50%), health benefits (30%), and environmental concerns (20%) as their primary reasons. - A multinational corporation is planning to establish new offices in five cities: A, B, C, D, and E, with a total budget of 150 million USD allocated for this expansion. To determine the fund allocation for each city, a composite score is calculated based on three key factors: Market Potential, Infrastructure, and Cost of Living. These factors are weighted at 40%, 35%, and 25%, respectively. City A has the highest market potential among the cities but scores lowest in infrastructure quality. City B ranks highest in infrastructure quality but has the highest cost of living. City C, despite having the lowest market potential, offers the lowest cost of living among the cities under consideration.
The composite score for each city is computed as a weighted average of its ratings on these factors, where ratings range from 1 to 10. The fund allocation for each city will be directly proportional to its composite score, reflecting its overall attractiveness for establishing new offices based on market potential, infrastructure quality, and cost of living considerations. - A vast interplanetary transport network has been established within our solar system to facilitate efficient movement between celestial bodies. This network comprises two primary transit routes: the inner route connecting Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, and the outer route connecting Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. These routes intersect at several asteroid belts designated as transfer hubs, crucial for transferring cargo, passengers, and refueling spacecraft.
The infrastructure of the network includes terminal stations located on the outermost planets of each route, represented as squares on the map. Key asteroid belts where the inner and outer routes intersect serve as transfer hubs, depicted as diamonds. Additionally, there are smaller waystations positioned between terminal stations and transfer hubs, marked as dots on the map. Spacecraft within this network operate exclusively on either the inner or outer route and never switch between the two. Travel times between adjacent waystations vary significantly between the inner and outer routes: the average travel time on the inner route is approximately 30 Earth hours, while on the outer route, it averages around 72 Earth hours. At transfer hubs, spacecraft typically spend about 6 Earth hours for operations such as cargo and passenger transfers, as well as refueling. - Answer the questions based on the information given below.
