Solutions:
1. I is advisable because this will facilitate the homeless to fight against cold wave. II is also advisable because it will provide shelter to some more people. III is also advisable because extending timing of night shelter will give some more relief to the homeless.
2. I is not advisable because it will adversely affect the campaign. II is advisable because it will bolster support to the women constable. III is not advisable because cases of casualty will increase.
3. I is impractical. II is ridiculous. Hence, neither I nor II follows. But III follows because it is the right way of action.
4. Only I and II follow. I is a advisable because it will be helpful in taking measures to make reform in the performance of the team. II is also advisable because practice makes a man perfect. III is not advisable since it is a matter of World Cup and newcomers will take some time to adjust themselves.
5. I does not follow because it is not appropriate in a globalised, WTO-regulated world. II follows, however. III is an act of piracy and therefore needs to be condemned.
6-7:
The number of handshakes and kisses add up to 55. Each member of Chatterjee family said goodbye to each member of Khanna family. If we multiply the number of members of both families, the result should be 55.
There are two possibilities.
-
55 = 11 × 5 (One family with 11 members and other one with 5)
-
55 = 55 × 1 (Which is not possible, since a family is not formed by only one person)
We now analyse the handshakes following the same procedure.
There are two possibilities:
-
21 = 7 × 3 (7 men in one family and 3 in the other)
-
21 = 21 × 1 (Which is not possible, because none of these families has so many members, as seen above)
Therefore, one family is formed by 7 men and 4 women and the other by 3 men and 2 women.
Rules:
- Gaurav Monga – 7/7
- Sourav – 5/5
- Chitrarth – 6/7
