Explanation:
In first step one element is rotated by 180starting from the top element. In second step 2 elements are rotated, in third step 3 elements.
Therefore, in fourth step 4 elements should be rotated by 180. This is followed in choice 3. Hence, [3].

F should be the opening sentence of the passage as it mentions the goals achieved by admitting new Asian observers to the Arctic
Council. Also, it is the only sentence which mentions the name of the council; all the other sentences refer to it as only the 'Council'. It
should be followed by C, which mentions the 'first' goal. 'This perspective' in A refers to the perspective introduced in C (it cannot be the
perspective in E as that is about considering another forum for discussions). A and D are about the disproportionate impact of the Arctic
region on the rest of the world, so they should come together. E and B are related to the second goal: E introduces it and B elaborates on
a point made in E (of the possibly more inclusive body where discussions can be transferred to). Thus, the correct sequence is FCADEB.

The war against tobacco has gained further vigour and momentum with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare recently placing in the
public domain a draft Bill that seeks to amend the provisions of the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products (Prohibition of Advertisement
and Regulation of Trade and Commerce, Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 2003. Among the changes proposed is the introduction
of the prohibition on using a 'name or brand of tobacco products for marketing or promoting goods and events'. It is one of the changes
that the government can easily implement and effectively enforce.
Which of the following has not been assumed by the drafters of the bill?
Established brands invoke positive associations in consumers irrespective of the products advertised.
2)
Established brands have a short term impact on the sales of the products advertised.
3)
Brands of tobacco products are conveniently used for advertising non-tobacco products.

they are introducing the prohibition. [2] is not necessarily true: the impact is more likely long term. [3] and [4] would also be taken for
granted by the drafters. At best, they could be inferences drawn from this paragraph. Hence, [1].

Question: 54
A statement that provides some information is followed by two other statements, numbered 1 and 2. Classify them on the basis of the
given options.
A stringent law passed last year has made motorcycle helmets compulsory in India and has had a huge impact on public health.
Statement 1: In Delhi alone, there are a total of 57,600 two-wheeler women riders.
Statement 2: The number of head injury cases has reduced by 50 percent over the past one year.
Statement 1 weakens the given information while statement 2 is neutral.
2)

3)
Both statements are neutral.
4)
Both statements weaken the given information.
5)
Both statements strengthen the given information.
Le
ar
ni
ng
1)
IM
Explanation:
Statement 1 gives a statistic for the number of two-wheeler women riders in Delhi, which is unrelated to the context. Statement 2
highlights the positive impact on public health by citing the reduction in head injury incidents over the past year, when the law was
enforced, which suggests that the law is responsible for this change. Thus, statement 2 strengthens the argument. Hence, [2].
Question: 55
given options.
India's alarmingly high salt intake has contributed to a spike in hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases, mostly among its elderly
citizens.
Statement 1: Indians are innately predisposed towards a salty diet, which has accounted for the long and healthy life of the past
generation.
Copyright
Statement 2: Most elderly citizens suffer from hypertension, which results from a combination of psychological, physical and genetic
factors.
1)

Li

ite
d
Explanation:
Statement 1 weakens the argument of high salt intake contributing to the increase in hypertension and heart diseases, by stating that high
salt-intake has been part of our diet and has contributed to the longevity of the past generation. Statement 2 gives completely different
reasons, viz. psychological, physical and genetic factors, for the spike in hypertension, which again weakens the main argument. Note that
though statement 2 doesn't address cardiovascular diseases, it still weakens part of the argument. Hence, [4].

Question: 56
given options.
Selfies have become the greatest photographic trend of our time, enabling us to produce an image that comes closer to matching our
perception of what we think we look like.
Statement 1: In today's world, an enhanced self-image is what works in every sphere of life.
Statement 2: The current popularity of selfies will go a long way in boosting our self-esteem.
2)
3)
4)
5)
es
ou

Explanation:
The argument is that selfies have become a significant trend that helps us reinforce a positive perception of ourselves. Statement 1 is a
general statement that correlates enhanced self-image with better prospects, but the perception of 'enhanced self-image' can arise from
other sources as well. So, it does not affect the argument. Statement 2 supports the argument by adding that selfies will lead to high selfesteem among people. Thus, it strengthens the argument. Hence, [2].

Though all schools opened their doors to admit under-privileged kids under the RTE Act, many of their seats remained vacant.
Courses of action:
A. The government should start an advertising campaign to increase awareness about the RTE Act.
B. The admission process of all schools should be centralized.

II. 'Lo So Mo Ko Lo To Do' is the code for 'Is Rajan the thief of the crown'.
es

Explanation:
From statement I:
Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question as we have 4 words and 4 codes. It is not necessary that codes are in the same
order as words.
From statement II:
The word 'the' repeats twice and the code 'Lo' repeats twice. So the code corresponding to 'the' is 'Lo'. Therefore, Statement II alone is
sufficient to answer the question. Hence, [2].

Explanation:
From statement I: The values of x and y cannot be determined. But since x and y are natural numbers, if their product is 899, only two
cases are possible:
Case (i) One of them is 1 and other is 899.
Case (ii) One of them is 29 and other is 31.
In either case, the LCM of x and y = 899.
So, statement I is sufficient to give answer.
From statement II: Value of x is not known, so this statement alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Hence, [1].

The ratio of the cost price of cookie A to that of cookie B is 2 : 5. The ratio of profits made on selling the cookies is in the ratio 4 : 5. If the
selling price of cookie B is Rs.100, find the selling price of cookie A.
Explanation:
Let the cost price for cookies A and B be 2x and 5x respectively, and the profits for cookies A and B be 4y and 5y respectively.
Thus, for cookie B, 5x + 5y = 100, or x + y =20and for cookie A, 2x + 4y is the S.P.
But we do not know the value of x and y hence the selling price of cookie A cannot be determined.

Explanation:
'Minor' cannot follow 'important' and 'martial' is completely unrelated to the context. A meteorite cannot be 'manned'. 'Magnetic' could be
the feature of a rock but not a classification. Since the sentence discusses an old rock from Mars, the most appropriate choice will be a
word pertaining to Mars, i.e. 'Martian'. Hence, [2].
es
ou
rc
Explanation:
Since the positive aspects of the meteorite are discussed, scientists will 'value' those distinguishing features. 'Recognise' means to
'acknowledge', and it is a milder word for such an expensive rock. 'Peg' and 'count' are not what scientists will do in this context. 'Merit'
means 'deserve' and is incorrect here as its subject should be 'meteorite', not 'scientists'. So, 'value' is the best fit. Hence, [3].

Question: 177
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
Standing atop one of the many high-rises on the west bank of the Huangpu River, south of the iconic Bund waterfront area, it's possible to
get a clear view of the five-square-kilometre plot of land that Shanghai hopes will help showcase itself to the world.
In recent months, it's been almost impossible to read a news report from here that hasn't mentioned the fevered construction of pavilions
and facilities and the municipal reconstruction generally aimed at making the city's Expo the greatest show on earth.
In the decade since Shanghai won its bid to host the event, the city has morphed and grown in 2004, a maglev train started doing 8minute, 250 kilometre per hour laps to and from Shanghai Pudong International Airport; in March 2008 the airport itself fostered a second
terminal; early in 2010 the city's other airport, Hongqiao, did as well; and meanwhile the metro system has gained several new subway
lines.
'Expo' is short for 'Universal Exposition,' the inheritor of the World Fairs that began in London's Hyde Park, led by Queen Victoria's
husband, Prince Albert, in 1851. Traditionally, Expos have been about national pride (and in China's case, there's often plenty of pride to
salve, with the media and education system frequently reminding Chinese of the so-called hundred years of humiliation at the hands of
foreigners from the First Opium War until the end of World War II).
But while to the outside world the Shanghai Expo may be seen as an attempt, like the Beijing Olympics, to showcase China's emergence
onto the international stage, Shanghai's (slightly) smaller brother and two centuries' rival is in no mood to share in the festivities.
For while locals here are apt to point out that the Expo will draw an estimated ten times the number of visitors that the Beijing Olympics
did, the national leadership has resolutely refused to visit the site. And although Expo countdown clocks areubiquitousin Shanghai, none
are visible in Tiananmen Square, where previous events of national importance, such as the handovers of Hong Kong and Macau and the
Beijing Olympics, have traditionally been recognized.
Naysayers say Shanghai's official visitor number estimates are wildly inflated. But while it's true that Expos have historically lost money
some Expos actually exceed expectations. And given the general global fascination with China at present, as well as the country's sheer
size, Shanghai may end up beating its own forecasts.
So, if Shanghai does meet expectations, who are the likely winners and losers?
One clear winner of a successful Expo would be the government, with the army of bureaucrats in the Shanghai and central government
tied to the event able to claim some part of the credit (which will be officially described as a success whatever happens). Indeed, cynics
might also suggest that many of these bureaucrats will also benefit in more tangible ways, given the licenses and other approval
processes that must be secured by exhibitors, sponsors and vendors.
The Shanghainese, meanwhile, have benefitted from a host of infrastructure improvements and a general sprucing up of the area. Of
course they didn't have much choice in the matter. While in some countries electorates vote on whether or not to bid for an Expo based on
their own cost-benefit analysis of the situation, the decision to bid for the 2010 Expo was entirely in the hands of the Chinese government
(local and national). Their cost-benefit calculations are not audited, nor are they available for review.
According to a newspaper, the budget for the Shanghai Expo can be divided into three parts relocation, construction and operation. The
word relocation is, in some cases, something of a euphemism. Some Shanghainese have been forcibly moved to make way for the city's
facelift, not only from the five square kilometres of the site itself, but from other parts of the city that have launched Expo-driven
renovations.
But despite the construction mayhem and the ongoing loss of some architectural treasures and organic communities, many Shanghainese
view the Expo as a net win, with a dramatically improved transportation system, a cleaner city and a bright, internationalized new face to
present to the millions of likely foreign visitors.
Yet it won't just be Shanghai residents who will likely feel like they're benefiting. Mainland Chinese will generally see the event as the
government wishes them to as another milestone in China's 'peaceful rise' and feel proud regardless of whether they attend.

Question: 196
It was a crowning moment in Jeff Koons's long and extraordinary career. While Francis Bacon's $142m triptychdepicting Lucian Freud was
grabbing the headlines, at the same Christie's sale in New York, the man who has turned banality into high art was enjoying his own
triumph this week. He did it with one of his celebrated series of toy balloon dog sculptures " 10ft tall and constructed of stainless steel but
faithfully reproducing the contours and shiny plastic colours of a party balloon toy. It went for a staggering $58m (36m) " the highest sum
ever paid for a work by a living artist.
So what is it about Koons that has so captured the art world's imagination over the past three decades? He was avidly ambitious from a
young age; his early heroes were Salvador Dali, whom he met once while the Spanish surrealist was in residence in New York, and Andy
Warhol. From Warhol he borrowed the idea that, in a godless world saturated by media, art itself was just another commodity, albeit one
with extraordinary added value. And while Warhol made silk screen prints in his 'factory', Koons took the industrial metaphor much further,
employing dozens of skilled artisans to manufacture works such as the balloon dogs without any hands-on input from the artist himself.
Nearly three years ago, Koons threatened legal action against a bookshop in San Francisco selling bookends with a balloon dog motif. But
as a lawyer for the bookshop pointed out: 'As virtually any clown can attest, no one owns the idea of making a balloon dog.' Originality of
inspiration is not part of the Koons recipe: most of his work has its origins in pre-existing works of art or kitsch. But although critics often
use the words 'arid' and 'sterile' to describe his art, pieces such as the balloon dog have enduring fascination, and not only for the
collectors who watch their value rise and rise. The one exhibited for years outside Venice's Palazzo Grassi, overlooking the Grand Canal,
became one of the watery city's more endearing monuments. The artist himself claims to find emotional release through his work. 'I think
art takes you outside yourself, takes you past yourself,' he has said. 'I believe that my journey has really been to remove my own anxiety.'
Born in York, Pennsylvania, in 1955, Jeff Koons studied art at Maryland School of Art and in Chicago, idolized the Pop artist Ed Paschke
and became his studio assistant, then moved to New York where he worked on the membership desk of the Museum of Modern Art.
But then his career took a different turn. Instead of starving in a garret or waiting on restaurant tables while his talent flowered, he became
a Wall Street commodities trader. In contrast to the artist of popular imagination, the world of commerce was his natural home. Here was
an artist who felt no shame about making money but on the contrary made a profound study of what the contemporary artist needs to do
to become rich. And then he did it.

make money while he was at the height of popularity.
2)

Explanation:
Refer to the 3rdparagraph of the passage, where Jeff Koons gives 'emotional release' as his reason for creating art. Though he did want to
make money, [1] wrongly implies that he was already highly popular for some other reason and then took to creating art. The other options
are not implied at all in the passage. Hence, [3].
