The following questions relate to a game to be played by you and your friend. The game consists of a 4 x 4 board (see below) where each cell contains a positive integer. You and your friend make moves alternately. A move by any of the players consists of splitting the current board configuration into two equal halves and retaining one of them. In your moves you are allowed to split the board only vertically and to decide to retain either the left or the right half. Your friend, in his/her moves, can split the board only horizontally and can retain either the lower or the upper half. After two moves by each player a single cell will remain which can no longer be split and the number in that cell will be treated as the gain (in rupees) of the person who has started the game. A sample game is shown below.

The first table gives the number of saris (of all the eight colours) stocked in six regional showrooms. The second gives the number of saris (of all the eight colours) sold in these six regional showrooms. The third table gives the percentage of saris sold to saris stocked for each colour in each region. The fourth table gives the percentage of saris of a specific colour sold within that region. The fifth table gives the percentage of saris of a specific colour sold across all the regions. Study the tables and for each of the following questions, choose the best alternative.

The table below shows the estimated cost (in Rs. Lakh) of a project of laying a railway line between two places.

Refer to the following Bar-chart and answer the questions that follow

Ghosh Babu has a certain amount of property consisting of cash, gold coins and silver bars. The cost of a gold coin is Rs. 4000 and the cost of a silver bar is Rs. 1000. Ghosh Babu distributed his property among his daughters equally. He gave to his eldest daughter gold coins worth 20% of the total property and Rs. 25000 in cash. The second daughter was given silver bars worth 20% of the remaining property and Rs. 50000 cash. He then gave each of the third and fourth daughters equal number of gold coins and silver bars both together accounting each for 20% of the property remaining after the previous distribution and Rs. 25000 more than what the second daughter had received in cash.

A 240 metre long train crosses a platform in 20 seconds. What is the speed of the train ?
Two trains of lengths 80m and 120m respectively are travelling in the same direction. If the first train travelling a speed of 80 Kmph crosses the second train in 24 seconds, then the speed of the second train is :
Two posts are k metres apart and the height of one is double that of the other. If from the middle point of the line joining their feet, an observer finds the angular elevations of their tops to be complementary, then the height (in metres) of the shorter post is
Over the last 40 years there has been a great increase not only in the number of
agricultural pesticides in use but also in the care and sophistication with which
they are used by farmers. Nevertheless, the proportion of agricultural crops lost
to certain pests worldwide has increased over the same period, even when the
pests concerned have not developed resistance to existing pesticides. Which of the following, if true, best explains how improvements in pesticide use
have been accompanied by greater losses to certain pests?
Authorities in California required drivers to use their headlights on a certain
road during the daytime as well as at night and found that annual accident rates
on the road fell 15 percent from the previous level. They concluded that applying
the daytime rule statewide would lead to a similar reduction in accidents. Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the authorities' argument?
Which of the following, if true, most logically completes the passage? Every fusion reaction releases neutrinos. To test a hypothesis about the frequency
of fusion reactions in the Sun, physicists calculated the number of neutrinos the
Sun would produce annually if the hypothesis were correct. From this they
estimated how many neutrinos should pass through a particular location on Earth.
The fact that far fewer neutrinos were counted than were predicted to pass
through the location would seem to prove that the hypothesis is wrong, except
that------.
An economist concluded that Kregg Company deliberately discriminated against
people with a history of union affiliation in hiring workers for its new plant. The
economist's evidence is that, of the 1,500 people hired to work at the new plant,
only 100 had ever belonged to a labor union, whereas in Kregg Company's older
plants, a much higher proportion of workers have a history of union affiliation. Which of the following is an assumption on which the economist's argument
depends?
Hastings’ contracture is a disorder of the connective tissue in one or both hands,
most commonly causing loss of mobility. A survey of thousands of medical-insurance
claims found that over 30 percent of people who had one hand operated on for
Hastings' contracture underwent surgery a second time for this disorder within
three years. Clearly, therefore, a single surgical treatment of Hastings' contracture
is often ineffective at providing long-term correction of the disorder. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
The most widely used therapy for a certain type of ulcer completely heals such
ulcers in 44 percent of patients within six months. In a six-month trial of a new
therapy for this type of ulcer, 80 percent of ulcers treated achieved significant
healing and 61 percent were completely healed. Since the trial treated only ulcers
of this type that were worse than average, the new therapy clearly promotes
healing more effectively than the most widely used therapy. The answer to which of the following would be most useful in evaluating the
argument given?
A society can achieve a fair distribution of resources only under conditions of
economic growth. There can be no economic growth unless the society guarantees
equality of economic opportunity to all of its citizens. Equality of economic
opportunity cannot be guaranteed unless a society's government actively works to
bring it about.
If the statements given are true, it can be properly concluded from them that
