The difference bet3een the digit on the tens place and the digit on the thousands place is the digit
on the la,h place. The units digit is the product of the digit on the la,h place and the digit on the ten?thousands place1 3hich is also a prime number. lso tens place digit is greater than the thousandth place digit. 1*.

'$planatory ns3ers : 5or ans3ers to 6uestions 1* to 10 : s the unit digit is not a prime number1 thus the la,h digit1 the thousands digit and the tenIs digit 3ill be a prime number. s the la,h digit is the difference of t3o prime numbers and still is a prime number1 it is 2. lso the digits on the thousandth and the tenIs place can be either 3 and / or / and 2. s the unit digit is the product of the digit on the la,h place and the digit on the ten? thousandth 2 8as / $ 2 < 1*1 2 $ 2 < 10;. Thus it has to be 3. Therefore 3e see that the digit on the thousandth place is / and that on the tenIs place is 2. Ge donIt ,no3 anything about the digit on the hundredth place. Therefore
the number is 23/ $ 26 Thus the ans3er are : 1*? E2. 11?E3. 12?E2. 13?E0. 10?E0. 4irections for 6uestions 1/ to 1) : &efer to the data belo3 and ans3er the 6uestions that follo3.

EIn fact1 not only does it help in the +erbal section of C T but also in %eneral 3areness section of other "# entrances.. This effort can]t be intensive in nature1 since 3e need to assimilate 3hat 3e read. Thus the reading has to be consistently spread out across a fe3 months or more. %-at to 'ead, Qou can start by reading something 3hich interests you. It can be fiction or sports and entertainment page of the ne3spaper. (lo3ly you can advance your reading habits but only reading ne3s or best sellers boo,s is not going to help you much for "# . Qou should read classic and acclaimed literature. 7i,e boo,s of mitabh %hosh1 rundhati &oy etc. are enriched 3ith 3ords that are not used in daily life and can thus empo3er your 3ord vocabulary. Ghile reading in 'nglish 3e should ma,e a conscious effort to start thin,ing in 'nglish as 3ell1 since this can be a 3ea, point for many of us 3ho come from non 'nglish bac,grounds. 5ow to 'ead,

This e$ercise 3ill ensure that over the ne$t 1/* days1 your repertoire of 3ords 3ill increase by at least 1/** 3ords. Practice, The C T verbal ability section too calls for a lot of practice1 3hich should be duly done in the last fe3 months. The scores in the &eading Comprehension section get tremendously boosted by practice follo3ed by analysis of the 6uestions attempted incorrectly. The associated e$planation to an ans3er is very important since it sho3s 3hat the e$aminer thought 3as the correct ans3er1 3hy and ho3 it 3as different from 3hat 3e thought.

De captivated me 3ith his theory that tribalism protects people from their fear of rapid change. De e$plained that the pillars of tribalism that humans rely on for security 3ould al3ays counter any significant cultural or social change. In this 3ay1 he said1 change is never allo3ed to happen too fast. Technology1 for e$ample1 is a pillar of society. Ary believes that every time technology moves in a ne3 or radical direction1 another pillar such as religion or nationalism 3ill gro3 stronger ?in effect1 the traditional and familiar 3ill assume greater importance to compensate for the ne3 and untested. In this manner1 human tribes avoid rapid change that leaves people insecure and frightened. #ut 3e have all heard that nothing is as permanent as change. Nothing is guaranteed. >ithy e$pressions1 to be sure1 but no more than cliches. s Ary says1 people donIt live that 3ay from dayto? day. Cn the contrary1 they actively see, certainty and stability.

It may -ust be the speed 3ith 3hich 3e do things. Change is over?rated1 any3ay. Consider the automobile. ItIs an especially valuable e$ample1 because the auto industry has spent tens of billions of dollars on research and
product development in the last 1** years.

Geb?spinning 3as not invented by some unsung spider genius and does not depend on having had the right education or on having an aptitude for architecture or the construction trades. &ather1 spiders spin spider 3ebs because they have spider brains1 3hich give them the urge to spin and the competence to succeed. lthough there are differences bet3een 3ebs and 3ords1 I 3ill encourage you to see language in this 3ay1 for it helps to ma,e sense of the phenomena 3e 3ill e$plore. Thin,ing of language as an instinct inverts the popular 3isdom1 especially as it has been passed do3n in the canon of the humanities and social sciences. 7anguage is no more a cultural invention than is upright posture. It is not a manifestation of a general capacity to use ?symbols: a three year old1 3e shall see1 is a grammatical genius1 but is 6uite incompetent at the visual arts1 religious iconography1 traffic signs1 and the other staples of the semiotics curriculum. Though language is a magnificent ability uni6ue to Domo sapiens among living species1 it does not call for se6uestering the study of humans from the domain of biology1 for a magnificent ability uni6ue to a particular living species is far from uni6ue in the animal ,ingdom.

C-oose t-e most appropriate answer to eac- question. Ghen I 3as little1 children 3ere bought t3o ,inds of ice cream1 sold from those 3hite 3agons 3ith the canopies made of silvery metal: either the t3o?cent cone or the four? cent ice cream pie. The t3o?cent cone 3as very small1 in fact it could fit comfortably into a childIs hand1 and it 3as made by ta,ing the ice cream from its container 3ith a special scoop and piling it on the cone. %ranny al3ays suggested I eat only a part of the cone1 then thro3 a3ay the pointed end1 because it had been touched by the vendorIs hand 8though that 3as the best part1 nice and crunchy1 and it 3as regularly eaten in secret1 after a pretense of discarding it;. The four?cent pie 3as made by a special little machine1 also silvery1 3hich pressed t3o dis,s of s3eet biscuit against a cylindrical section of ice cream. 5irst you had to thrust your tongue into the gap bet3een the biscuits until it touched the central nucleus of ice creamM then1 gradually1 you ate the 3hole thing1 the biscuit surfaces softening as they became soa,ed in creamy nectar. %ranny had no advice to give here: in theory the pies had been touched only by the machineM in practice1 the vendor had held them against his hand 3hile giving them to us1 but it 3as impossible to isolate the contaminated area. I 3as fascinated1 ho3ever1 by some of my peers1 3hose parents
bought them not a four?cent pie but t3o t3o?cent cones. These privileged children advanced proudly 3ith one cone in their right hand and one in their leftM and e$pertly moving their head from side to side1 they lic,ed first one1 then the other. This liturgy seemed to me so sumptuously enviable1 that many times I as,ed to be allo3ed to celebrate it. In vain. "y elders 3ere infle$ible: a four?cent ice1 yesM but t3o t3o?cent ones1 absolutely no. s anyone can see1 neither mathematics nor economy nor dietetics -ustified this refusal. Nor did hygiene1 assuming that in due course the tips of both cones 3ere discarded. The pathetic1 and obviously mendacious1 -ustification 3as that a boy concerned 3ith turning his eyes from one cone to the other 3as more inclined to stumble over stones1 steps1 or crac,s in the pavement. I dimly sensed that there 3as another secret -ustification1 cruelly pedagogical1 but I 3as unable to grasp it.

T3o t3o?cent cones instead of one at four cents did not signify s6uandering1 economically spea,ing1 but symbolically they surely did. It 3as for this precise reason1 that I yearned for them: because t3o ice creams suggested e$cess. nd this 3as precisely 3hy they 3ere denied me: because they loo,ed indecent1 an insult to poverty1 a display of fictitious privilege1 a boast of 3ealth.
