Directions (101-107): Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
If plastic had been invented when the Pilgrims sailed from Plymouth, England, to North America—and the Mayflower had been stocked with bottled water and colorful plastic-wrapped snacks for consumers' attraction—their plastic trash would likely still be around, four centuries later. If the Pilgrims had been like many people today and simply tossed their empty bottles and wrappers over the side, Atlantic waves and sunlight would have worn all that plastic into tiny bits. And those bits might still be floating around the world's oceans today, sponging up toxins to add to the ones already in them, waiting to be eaten by some hapless fish or oyster, and ultimately perhaps by one of us.
We should give thanks that the Pilgrims didn't have plastic, I thought recently as I rode a train to Plymouth along England's south coast. I was on my way to see a man who would help me make sense of the whole mess we've made with plastic, especially in the ocean. Because plastic wasn't invented until the late 19th century, and production really only took off around 1950, we have a mere 9.2 billion tons of the stuff to deal with. Of that, more than 6.9 billion tons have become waste. And of that waste, a staggering 6.3 billion tons never made it to a recycling bin—a figure that stunned the scientists who crunched the numbers in 2017.
No one knows how much unrecycled plastic waste ends up in the ocean, Earth's last sink. In 2015, Jenna Jambeck, a University of Georgia engineering professor, caught everyone's attention with a rough estimate: between 5.3 million and 14 million tons each year just from coastal regions. Most of it isn't thrown off ships but is dumped carelessly on land or in rivers, mostly in Asia. It's then blown or washed into the sea. Imagine five plastic grocery bags stuffed with plastic trash says, sitting on every foot of coastline around the world—that would correspond to about 8.8 million tons, her middle-of-the-road estimate of what the ocean gets from us annually. It's unclear how long it will take for that plastic to completely biodegrade into its constituent molecules. Estimates range from 450 years to never.
Meanwhile, ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. Some are harmed visibly—strangled by abandoned fishing nets or discarded six-pack rings. Many more are probably harmed invisibly. Marine species of all sizes, from zooplankton to whales, now eat microplastics, the bits smaller than one-fifth of an inch across. On Hawaii's Big Island, on a beach that seemingly should have been pristine—no paved road leads to it—I walked ankle-deep through microplastics. They crunched like Rice Krispies under my feet. After that, I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a looming catastrophe, worth mentioning in the same breath as climate change. At a global summit in Nairobi last December, the head of the United Nations Environment Programme spoke of an "ocean Armageddon." And yet there's a key difference: Ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers, at least so far. To do something about it, we don't have to remake our planet's entire energy system.

Directions (107-112): Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Insomnia, especially in its chronic form, is a frequent sleep disorder, probably the most frequent sleep disorder of all, afflicting approximately 10% of the adult population worldwide. According to most recent diagnostic criteria, like the DSM-5 or the ICSD-3, we nowadays talk of insomnia disorder instead of primary or secondary insomnia, as it was usually called in older versions of diagnostic manuals. Insomnia disorder as a diagnostic category encompasses disturbances of sleep and daily work, like problems to fall asleep or to maintain sleep and associated daytime sequelae like impairment of concentration or attention, increased fatigue, dysphoria etc. Chronic insomnia significantly increases the risk of developing somatic or mental illness, especially depressive disorders.
It has been speculated that the early and adequate treatment of insomnia may be very helpful in avoiding these long-time consequences, and in cases of comorbidity, insomnia treatment may also have a positive impact on the somatic or mental comorbidity. Insomnia comes at a high cost because recent research has shown that insomnia has severe consequences for work productivity, sick leave and many other areas. Summarising, the costs for the society are high and has inferior outcomes, but adequate insomnia treatment is supposed to reduce these.
This virtual issue covers several aspects of insomnia disorder. An article focusses on the prevalence and management of chronic insomnia in Swiss primary care. This article nicely shows that insomnia is a very frequent problem encountered in general practice, but still, the predominant modality of treatment is pharmacological treatment instead of CBT-I. This is a pity, because CBT-I has now been confirmed by several international guidelines to be the first-line treatment of insomnia. Methods are discussed about how to further disseminate knowledge about CBT-I in general practice. In a similar way, other article covers the endeavours of the European Academy for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia to improve the teaching system for CBT-I. Hopefully, this initiative will be successful and lead to more adequately trained CBT-I therapists all over Europe.
Four articles in this virtual issue deal with the question of whether insomnia symptoms may be predictive for somatic or mental disorders. It is shown that insomnia may be involved in the development of post-traumatic stress symptoms, place people at a higher risk of cancer and also lead to an increased frequency of perinatal depressive symptoms during pregnancy. Two articles look at digital, web-based CBT treatment interventions. It becomes clear that CBT delivered via web-based solutions conveys a good chance of being able to help people with insomnia and to reduce associated depressive symptoms. Furthermore, the long-term benefits are clearly proven.

(e) None of these

108. What is/are the possible links between insomnia and public societal concerns?

India has released new rules stringent (118) the trade of electricity across its borders. They define the contours of the South Asian electricity market, contour (119) clear limits on who can buy from and sell into India. This has balancing (120) for the electricity markets of Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Nepal, which, to varying degrees, have aligned their energy futures with the Indian market. The new rules show that India's approach is unmistakably political. It attempts to balance China's growing economically (121) in the region with developmental aims, both its own and the region's. Of central importance is the ownership of power plants wishing to sell to India. In masterful legalese, the rules strongly stunt (122) the participation of plants owned by a company situated in "a third country with whom India shares a land border" and "does not have a bilateral agreement on power sector cooperation with India". Chinese companies rotate (123) to establish plants in Nepal, Bhutan, or Bangladesh will presumably have a hard time making good on their investments with the Indian market cut off.

For II-This could be the result as mentioned in the given statement that patients need Aadhar card to get benefits under government scheme.
For III-This also could be the result because it is clear from the given statement that to get benefits of the scheme verification of Aadhar will be required.
For IV-This is not the result of the given statement because this statement states that cases of TB patients increased in India now which is not directly related to the statement.

10. (c): For I- This argument does not holds strong because this initiative is for girls to get benefited initially but it is not like that education will make free for everyone.
For II-This argument also holds strong because a law/scheme or bill should not be for any particular gender but it should be for the one who really need it.
For III-This is also strong because gender should not be the criterion for the free education. It is the poor who should get the benefit

QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE

51. (b): We know volume of cylinder = πr²h
In cylinder A number of such cubes filled
= (22/7) × (10 × 10 × 14) / (2 × 2 × 2) = 550
In cylinder B number of such cubes filled
= (22/7) × (7 × 7 × 20) / (2 × 2 × 2) = 385
Required difference = 550 - 385 = 165

52. (e): We know volume of cylinder = πr²h
Empty volume of cylinder C
= ((100-40)/100) × (22/7) × 14 × 14 × 12
= 3/5 × 22 × 2 × 14 × 12
= 4435.2 cm³
Empty volume of cylinder D
= ((100-80)/100) × (22/7) × 21 × 21 × 9
= 1/5 × 22 × 3 × 21 × 9
= 2494.8 cm³
Required difference = 4435.2 - 2494.8 = 1940.4 cm³

53. (c): Diameter of cylinder A = 10 × 2 = 20 cm
Diameter of cylinder C = 14 × 2 = 28 cm
Difference between diameter and height of cylinder A = 20 - 14 = 6 cm
Difference between diameter and height of cylinder C = 28 - 12 = 16 cm
Required percentage = (16-6)/16 × 100 = 62.5%

54. (a): We know curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrh
Required ratio = (2π × 21 × 9) / (2π × 10 × 14) = 27 : 20

55. (b): We know total surface area of cylinder = 2πrh + 2πr² = 2πr(h + r)
Total surface area of cylinder B = 2 × (22/7) × 7 × (20 + 7) = 1188 cm²
Total surface area of cylinder E = 2 × (22/7) × 12 × (21 + 12) = 17424/7 cm²
Required sum = 1188 + 17424/7 = 25740/7 cm²

56. (d): We know volume of cylinder = πr²h
Volume of cylinder C = (22/7) × 14 × 14 × 12 = 7392 cm³
Volume of cylinder D = (22/7) × 21 × 21 × 9 = 12474 cm³
Volume of cylinder E = (22/7) × 12 × 12 × 21 = 9504 cm³
Required average = (7392+12474+9504)/3 = 29370/3 = 9790 cm³

57. (b): Let breadth of rectangular park = x m
[Diagram]
ATQ -
4 × 5 × 5 + 2 × 60 × 5 + 2 × 5 × x = 550000/500
100 + 600 + 10x = 1100
10x = 400
x = 40 m
So, area of rectangle = 60 × 40 = 2400 m²

58. (e): Let total men be 'M'
And time taken by 'M' men be 'D' days
ATQ -
M × D = (M + 8) × ((100-40)/100)D
5M = 3M + 24
M = 12
12 × D = 12 × 2/3 × (D + 30)
D = 60
So, 12 men can finish half of the same work = 60/2 = 30 days

59. (c): Let monthly income Q = Rs. X
So, monthly income of P = Rs. (X +11000)
Saving of P = (X + 11000) × (100 - (15 + 10))/100 = (75X + 825000)/100
Saving of Q = X × (100 - (10 + 10))/100 = 80X/100
ATQ -
(75X + 825000)/100 - 80X/100 = 7000
5X = 125000
X = 25000 Rs.

60. (b): Let total loss = 3x
So, total profit = 3x × 2/3 = 2x
Given, Profit + loss = Rs. (5000 - 4000) = Rs. 1000
So, 3x + 2x = 1000
x = Rs. 200
So, total loss = 3x = 3 × 200 = 600 Rs.
Cost price of watch = 4000 + 600 = 4600 Rs.

61. (d): Let rate of interest for scheme A = R
So, rate of interest for scheme B = 2R
So, total interest received by man from scheme A = P × (2 × R)/100 = 2PR/100
And, total interest received by man from scheme B = (P + 5000) × (5 × 2R)/100 = (10PR + 50000R)/100
ATQ -
(10PR + 50000R)/100 = 10 × 2PR/100
10PR = 50000R
P = 5000 Rs.

62. (b): Let total males and females in town A be 5x & 3x respectively
While, total males and females in town B be 5y and y respectively
ATQ -
(5x + 3x) = (5y + y)
8x = 6y
x : y = 3 : 4
Also given, 5y - 5x = 500
20x - 15x = 1500
x = 300
And y = 400
So, total females in town A & B together = 300 × 3 + 400 = 1300

63. (b): Let cost price of first article = Rs. A
And cost price of second article = Rs. B
ATQ -
Selling price of first article = A × 115/100 = Rs. 1.15A
And, selling price of second article = B × 92/100 = 0.92B
1.15A = 0.92B
A: B = 4: 5
Quantity I - A = 4
Quantity II - B = 5
So, Quantity I < Quantity II
OR
Let cost price of first article = Rs. X
And cost price of second article = Rs. (1800 - X)
ATQ -
Selling price of first article = X × 115/100 = Rs. 115X/100
And, selling price of second article = (1800 - X) × 92/100
115X/100 = (1800 - X) × 92/100
115X + 92X = 1800 × 92
207X = 1800 × 92
X = (1800 × 92)/207
X = 800
So, cost price of first article = Rs. 800
And cost price of second article = Rs. (1800 - 800) = Rs. 1000
Quantity I = Rs. 800
Quantity II = Rs. 1000
So, Quantity I < Quantity II

64. (a): Let greater integer = x
And, smaller integer = y
ATQ -
x × y = 24 (x - y) ---------- (i)
And, (x + y) = 14
x = 14 - y
Put the value of x in equ. (i)
y² - 62y + 336 = 0
y² - 56y - 6y + 336 = 0
y(y - 56) - 6(y - 56) = 0
(y - 56)(y - 6) = 0
y = 56, 6
but y can't be 56
So, y = 6
So, x = 8
Quantity I - Value of greater integer = x = 8
Quantity II - Twice the value of smaller integer = 2y = 2 × 6 = 12
So, Quantity I < Quantity II

65. (a): Let total investment = Rs. 6x
So, investment of A = 6x × 1/3 = 2x Rs.
Given, investment of B is equal to the sum investment of A and C together
So, investment of B = 6x/2 = 3x
And investment of C = 6x - (2x + 3x) = x
Profit ratio of A, B & C = 2x : 3x : x = 2 : 3 : 1
Quantity I - Required difference = 840 × (3-1)/6 = 280 Rs.
Quantity II - Rs. 240.
So, Quantity I > Quantity II

66. (c): Total distance covered by A in (10 am - 4 pm = 6 hours) = 25 × 6 = 150 km
Total time required when A & B meet or B crossed A = 150/(40-25) = 10 hours
Quantity I - Total distance covered by B when he crossed A = 10 × 40 = 400 km
Quantity II - 400 km
So, Quantity I = Quantity II

67. (a): Ratio of profit share of A to B = 12500 × 12 : 8500 × 12 = 25 : 17
Let total profit received by both = 105x
ATQ -
[105x × 60/100 × 1/2 + 105x × 40/100 × 25/(25+17)] - [105x × 60/100 × 1/2 + 105x × 40/100 × 17/(25+17)] = 300
(31.5x + 25x) - (31.5x + 17x) = 300
8x = 300
x = 37.5
So, total profit = 37.5 × 105 = 3937.5 Rs.

68. (d): Let cost price of article = 100x Rs.
So, marked price of article = 200x Rs.
When 40% discount given on article, then selling price of article = 200x × (100-40)/100 = 120x Rs.
Required profit % = (120x-100x)/100x × 100 = 20%

Sol. (69 - 71):
Total students like only Orange, only Grapes and only Apple = 6% + 18% + 12% = 36%
Given, Value of X, Y & Z is multiple of ten and no value are same
So only possible value of (X% + Y% + Z%) should be 60%
Let assume X% = 10%, Y% = 20% and Z = 30%
(Note- Value of X can be any multiple of 10 like 10% or 20% or 30%, And same of Y and Z also)
Total students who like all three fruits = 100% - 36% - 60% = 4%
[Venn Diagram]

69. (c): Total students who like all three fruits = 4% of 350 = 4/100 × 350 = 14
70. (a): For maximum value of students who like Apple, Orange but not Grapes, value of Y should be 30%
So, required number = 350 × 30/100 = 105
71. (d): For minimum difference between total students like Orange and Grapes but not Apple and total students like Apple and Grapes but not Orange
When, X = 10% then Z = 20%
X = 30% then Z = 20%
Difference = 10%
Similarly, when Z = 10% then X = 20%
Z = 30% then X = 20%
Difference = 20%
So, minimum difference between total students like Orange and Grapes but not Apple and total students like Apple and Grapes but not Orange = 10% of 350 = 10/100 × 350 = 35

Let total number of boys in 8th class = 5a
So, total number of boys in 9th class = 5a × 120/100 = 6a
And let total number of girls in 10th class = 2b
So, total number of girls in 9th class = 2b × 150/100 = 3b
Given, (5a + 6a) + (3b + 2b) = 128
11a + 5b = 128 ------- (i)
Also given, 5a + 2b = 56 ------- (ii)
From (i) and (ii) we get -
3a = 24
So, a = 8 & b = 8
Let total number of girls in 8th class = c
So, total number of boys in 10th = (c + 17)
Total number of student - total number of boys in class 8th and 9th and total number of girls in 9th and 10th class = total number of girls in 8th class + total number of boys in 10th
c + c + 17 = 181 - 128
c = 18
And total number of boys in 10th = (c + 17) = (18 + 17) = 35

So, G × 50/100 = 28 × 75/100
G = 42
Required percentage = 42/(28+42) × 100 = 60%

73. (e): Total number of in class 7th in the year 2017 = 16 × 125/100 = 20
So, total number of boys in class 7th in the year 2017 = 60 - 20 = 40
Now, total number of boys who passed in class 7th in the year 2017 and promoted to class 8th in 2018 = 40 × (100-20)/100 = 32
total number of girls who passed in class 7th in the year 2017 and promoted to class 8th in 2018 = 20 × (100-40)/100 = 12
Total boys take new admission in class 8th in the years 2018 = 40 - 32 = 8
And, total girls take new admission in class 8th in the years 2018 = 18 - 12 = 6
Required percentage = (8-6)/6 × 100 = 33 1/3%

74. (b): Total boys in class 11th in year 2019 = (total boys passed in class 10th in 2018 + 12) + (total girls passed in class 10th in 2018 + 8)
= (35 × 80/100 + 12) + (16 × 7/8 + 8)
= 40 + 22
= 62
Total boys in class 12th in 2020 = (40 × 90/100 + X) = (36 + X)
Total girls in class 12th in 2020 = (22 × 6/11 + Y) = (12 + Y)
ATQ -
(36 + X) = 75/100 × 72
36 + X = 54
X = 18
Also, (12 + Y) × 2.7 = 54

Y = 8
So, total students in class 12th in 2020 = (36 + 18) + (12 + 8) = 74

So, total cookies baked on Saturday = 4x × 125/100 = 5x
Total cookies baked on Friday = 540 × 4x/9x = 240
And total cookies baked on Saturday = 540 - 240 = 300

Total tourists from India who visited UK = 800 × 5 = 4000
Total tourists from India who visited USA = 4000 × 3/4 = 3000
Total tourists from India who visited Australia = 4000 × 3/4 = 3000
So, tourists from India who visited both USA and UK but not Australia = 3000 - 800 - 500 - 700 = 1000
Hence, tourists from India who visited both Australia and UK but not USA = 1000
Now, tourists from India who visited only Australia = 3000 - 500 - 700 - 1000 = 800
And, tourists from India who visited only UK = 4000 - 1000 - 500 - 1000 = 1500

ENGLISH LANGUAGE

101. (b): With reference to the first paragraph which mentions," If plastic had been invented when the Pilgrims sailed from Plymouth, England, to North America—and the *Mayflower- had been stocked with bottled water and colorful plastic-wrapped snacks for consumers' attraction —their plastic trash would likely still be around, four centuries later" we can infer the use of plastic and reason for their abundance.
Hence, option (b) is the right choice for the answer.

102. (d): With reference to the first paragraph which mentions, "I was on my way to see a man who would help me make sense of the whole mess we've made with plastic, especially in the ocean. Because plastic wasn't invented until the late 19th century, and production really only took off around 1950, we have a mere 9.2 billion tons of the stuff to deal with. Of that, more than 6.9 billion tons have become waste. And of that waste, a staggering 6.3 billion tons never made it to a recycling bin".
Hence, option (d) is the right choice for the answer.

103. (c): Option (c) is the correct choice. As per the third paragraph which mentions, "It's unclear how long it will take for that plastic to completely biodegrade into its constituent molecules. Estimates range from 450 years to never."

104. (c): Option (c) is the correct choice. Refer the last paragraph where author mentions," On Hawaii's Big Island, on a beach that seemingly should have been pristine—no paved road leads to it—I walked ankle-deep through microplastics. They crunched like Rice Krispies under my feet. After that, I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a looming catastrophe, worth mentioning in the same breath as climate change. At a global summit in Nairobi last December, the head of the United Nations Environment Programme spoke of an "ocean Armageddon."

105. (d): Option (d) is correct answer here i.e., statement (A) is incorrect here.
For statement (A) refer to paragraph 2nd which mentions, "Because plastic wasn't invented until the late 19th century, and production really only took off around 1950, we have a mere 9.2 billion tons of the stuff to deal with. Of that, more than 6.9 billion tons have become waste. And of that waste, a staggering 6.3 billion tons never made it to a recycling bin".
From this we can conclude that statement (A) is incorrect.

108. (a): The correct choice is option (a). Refer to the 2nd paragraph which mentions, "Summarising, the costs for the society are high and has inferior outcomes, but adequate insomnia treatment is supposed to reduce these."

109. (a): Refer to the 3rd paragraph which mentions, "This article nicely shows that insomnia is a very frequent problem encountered in general practice, but still, the predominant modality of treatment is pharmacological treatment instead of CBT-I. This is a pity, because CBT-I has now been confirmed by several international guidelines to be the first-line treatment of insomnia. Methods are discussed about how to further disseminate knowledge about CBT-I in general practice."

110. (b): The correct answer is option (b) i.e. statement (i) and statement (iii) are correct.
for statement (i), refer to 1st paragraph which mentions, “Insomnia, especially in its chronic form, is a frequent sleep disorder, probably the most frequent sleep disorder of all, afflicting approximately 10% of the adult population worldwide.”
For statement (ii), refer to the 3rd paragraph which mentions," This article nicely shows that insomnia is a very frequent problem encountered in general practice"
for statement (iii) refer 3rd and 7th line of 3rd paragraph which mentions the need for adequate trained therapist.

127. (c): The highlighted phrase given in the question is incorrect as we don't use past participle (been) with 'will' hence the correct option will be option (c). As subject is plural so 'has' is incorrect therefore option (b) is incorrect. Option (a) is incorrect since 'have' indicates present tense and also 'have' is used for plural subjects. Option (d) does not make sense contextually.

128. (b): The highlighted phrase given in the question is incorrect as 'grand' is an adjective and we need verb here which is 'grant' hence the correct phrase will be option (b). 'Might' is incorrect here because sentence is in simple present tense hence option (a) and option (d) are incorrect here. Option (c) is incorrect because 'submitted' here is incorrect and this should be in simple present.
