Direction for Questions (1 to 5):
The following table shows the percentage distribution of number of people having Government-Employment (GE), Private-Employment (PE), Self-Employment (SE) and No-Employment (NE) in five different cities (A-E). Based on the data in the table, answer the questions that follow:
| City | GE | PE | SE | NE |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 24% | – | 10% | – |
| B | – | – | 20% | 40% |
| C | 38% | – | 25% | 21% |
| D | – | 25% | – | 26% |
| E | – | 15% | 30% | 20% |
1. It is assumed that population of each city is equal to the number of people having
(GE+PE+SE+NE).
2. The symbol ‘_’ represents some missing percentage and it can be computed, if required.
Q.1. Assume that the ratio between population of City-C to City-D is 64:63. If the number of unemployed people from City-D is 2040 more than that of City-C, then what is the average of the total number of private employees from both the cities?
Ans: (3) 13995
Explanation: Based on the percentage distribution and population ratio calculations between City C and City D, the average total number of private employees comes out to be 13995[cite: 158].
Ans: (3) 13995
Explanation: Based on the percentage distribution and population ratio calculations between City C and City D, the average total number of private employees comes out to be 13995[cite: 158].
Q.2. If the population of City-D is 40% more than that of City-A, then the total number of private employees and unemployed people together from City-A is approximately what percentage of government employees and self-employed people together from City-D?
Ans: (2) 431
Explanation: Evaluating the population proportions and respective percentages for City A and City D yields approximately 431[cite: 159].
Ans: (2) 431
Explanation: Evaluating the population proportions and respective percentages for City A and City D yields approximately 431[cite: 159].
Q.3. If the ratio between population of City-C to City-E is 5:4 and the number of unemployed people in City-E is 900 more than that in City-C, then what is the average of total number of government employees in both City-C and City-E?
Ans: (1) 34760
Explanation: Calculating populations using the given ratio and NE difference provides the average count of government employees as 34760[cite: 159].
Ans: (1) 34760
Explanation: Calculating populations using the given ratio and NE difference provides the average count of government employees as 34760[cite: 159].
Q.4. Assume that the ratio of males to number of females who are self-employed from City-A is 2:3 and from City-B is 3:5, and population of City-B is 20% more than that of City-A. If the number of females who are self-employed from City-B is 800 more than that of City-A, then what is the ratio between the number of females who are self-employed from City-A to that from City-B?
Ans: (2) 17:18
Explanation: Using the given ratios and population constraints between City A and City B, the required female self-employed ratio resolves to 17:18[cite: 160].
Ans: (2) 17:18
Explanation: Using the given ratios and population constraints between City A and City B, the required female self-employed ratio resolves to 17:18[cite: 160].
Q.5. Assume that for City-A, the difference between the number of private employees and government employees is 5800, and percentage of private employees is 14% more than the percentage of government employees. If the total number of government and self-employed people together from City-E is 10000 more than that of government employees in City-A, what is the population of City-E?
Ans: (3) 348000
Explanation: Deriving City A population from the PE and GE percentage and difference (14% = 5800 -> 1% = 2900 -> Population = 290000), and applying City E conditions leads to a population of 348000 for City E[cite: 160].
Ans: (3) 348000
Explanation: Deriving City A population from the PE and GE percentage and difference (14% = 5800 -> 1% = 2900 -> Population = 290000), and applying City E conditions leads to a population of 348000 for City E[cite: 160].

Q.10. In an examination, a candidate gets 25% of marks and fails by 60 marks. In the same examination, another candidate scores 50% marks but gets 40 marks more than the minimum marks required to pass the examination. Find the maximum marks for the examination:
Ans: (4) 500

Q.45. Imagine you are looking at the relationship between hours studied (x) and exam scores (y) for four unique groups (1–4), each consisting of five students. The sum of all x values (Σx), the sum of all the y values (Σy), the sum of the product of x and y values (Σxy), the sum of squares of x values (Σx2), and the sum of squares of y values (Σy2) are given in A–D below for each group. Calculate the Pearson correlation coefficient (r) between x and y for each group and arrange them in ascending order.

Read the passage given below and answer questions (46-50):
Diffusion is not the key to global cultural studies. Mobility is. The kind of cultural formations of most interest to the discipline are becoming increasingly mobile everywhere. This is true in the literal sense that they tend to move across distances and borders, but also in the sense that their relations with their social and material settings (the economy, politics, education, technology and so on) change so quickly and thoroughly, although at different paces and in different ways in different places. It’s also true in the sense that sectors and genres internal to cultures are interacting so dynamically with one another. Culture is not a thing or even a system: It’s a set of transactions, processes, mutations, practices, technologies, institutions, out of which things and events (such as movies, poems or world wrestling bouts) are produced, to be experienced, lived out and given meaning and value to in different ways within the unsystematic network of differences and mutations from which they emerged to start with.
Q.46. The basis to understand global cultural studies is:
Ans: (2) mobility
Explanation: The passage explicitly states at the beginning: “Diffusion is not the key to global cultural studies. Mobility is.”[cite: 180]

Ans: (2) an unsystematic network
Explanation: The text states that things and events like movies or poems emerge “within the unsystematic network of differences and mutations”[cite: 181].
