From statement B, x = 28
From statement A, y = x – 24 = 28 – 24 = 4
xy = 28 × 4

Perimeter of a square can be known, if either a side or
a diagonal is known.

Let, the secretary spoke for x min. Then from statement
A.
Number of words = 50 x
From statement B,
Number of words spoken = (x + 10) ( 50 –4)
50 x = 46 (x + 10)
x = 460/4 = 115 min

From statement B :
Sohan’s age 5 years ago = 21 years
Sohan’s present age = 21 + 5 = 26 years
Niranjan’s present age = 26 × 2 = 52 years
Niranjan’s age after 5 years = 52 + 5 = 57 years

Let greater and smaller digits of the number be x and y
respectively. Then,
From statement A, xy = 0

x –y = 7
x = 7, y = 0
Two digit number is 70.

x^2 – x – 12 > 0
x^2 – 4x + 3x – 12 > 0
(x – 4) (x + 3) > 0
x < – 3 or x > 4
- 5
From equation I —-> x^2 – 5x + 4 = 0
(x – 4) (x – 1) = 0
x = 4 or 1
From statement II —-> y^2 + 13y + 12 = 0
(y + 12) (y + 1) = 0
y = –12 or –1
x > y

- x = 1.6
- y^2 = 2.56
y = +/-√2.56
= 1.6 or –1.6
x >= y

Volume of new cube = 33 + 43 + 53 = 216 cm^3
Each edge of the new cube = 3√216 = 6cm
and hence surface area = 6 × 62 = 216 cm^2

2. (d) I is not strong because it is not directly related to our core issue. II is also not strong because this is based on a wrong notion.
3. (b) I is not strong because we can’t correlate the facilities provided to the citizens of other countries with the facilities provided to Indian citizens. II is strong because this is will ensure smooth functioning of the government.

5. (d) Both the argument focus on trivial aspects. Hence, both I and II are weak arguments.
6. (a) Only I is strong. II is not strong because we do not know whether the existing provisions are sufficient or not.
7. (a) I is not strong because intimacy of NRIs with Indian soil will be helpful for Indian economy. II is a weak argument because a move can’t be restricted only because the move is not giving benefit to all of a kind.
8. (d) I is weak because it is not desirable. Moreover, is falsely assumes that govt authorities can’t cope with the demand of driving sciences. II is weak because it is not logical. It wrongly assumes that such a move will lead to a spurt in the number of vehicles.
9. (c) I is strong because it will encourage non-violence and will make the environment conducive for peace. II is also strong because effort from early one side will not necessarily usher in desirable result. But the state can’t be both more and less peaceful at the same time. Hence either I or II follows.
10. (d) Both I and II are weak arguments.

S1. Ans.(e)
Sol. TCP/IP, which stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, is an internet-standard protocol suite for WANs. On the other hand, HTML, COBOL, JAVA, and C++ are computer programming languages.
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. A hub works at the physical layer of the OSI model and contains multiple ports. It broadcasts the received data packets to the connected stations.
S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. The IPv6 addressing mechanism uses 128 bits (16 bytes) to represent a unique IP address of a network device. There is no optional field in IPv6, instead it uses Extension headers.
S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) model is developed by International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This model consists of seven distinct layers including physical, data link, network, transport, session, presentation and application.

S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that allows secure data transfer between a client and a private enterprise server by establishing a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection over the TCP/IP-based network. VPN allows mobile users to access the network of an organization with the help of the Internet.
S7. Ans.(c)
