Directions for Questions 21-26: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.
A leading Indian industrialist in a recent article on ways to strengthen India's economy has drawn attention to the problems of inflation and industrial sickness among other things. One of the main reasons for industrial sickness in our country has been the fact that business and industrial managers, have not been able to look beyond the immediate future. They have been too preoccupied with their attempts to report favorable results for the current year higher profits and larger dividends to the share holders. The planning horizon has hardly ever exceeded five years. Investments have been inadequate for new plants and towards diversification and expansions. Modernisation and asset creation has seriously lagged behind. In business, growth is needed for survival; one has to grow if one does not want to be wiped out This is particularly true today with liberalisation of imports and increasing competition. More over, growth and higher productivity create employment and higher employment creates larger markets both for industrial and consumer products. It was Hentry Ford who brought home the need for the creation of larger and a more stable middle class, that is, a larger number of people who can afford more and more of goods and services. Even after forty years of independence our industrialists have not
been able to shed the petty shopkeeper's mentality and our highly educated management has tagged along merrily and without concern.

23.According to the passage, growth and increasing productivity lead to
A) imposition of restrictions on imports
B) employment and thus provide an outlet to industrial and consumer products
C) encouragement to export of excess consumer goods
D) disproportionate surplus of commodities
E) None of the above
Ans: B
24. Why did Hentry Ford stress the need for a more stable middle class ?
A) They are mostly service oriented
B) They do not have shopkeeper mentality
C) They can afford to buy more and more expensive goods
D) They are most unstable
E) None of these
Ans:. C

Directions for Questions 21-26: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.
Amnesty International's charge that 'tens of thousands' of political prisoners, including prisoners of conscience, are languishing in Indian jails and that prisoners are routinely tortured in this country has to be seen in a much wider context than the organisation's annual report cares to do. In its overall appraisal of 151 countries, Amnesty has accused 112 of torturing prisoners, 63 of harboring prisoners of conscience, 61 of resorting to political killings and 53 of detaining people without a trial. Of these apparently overlapping categories, India seems to have been excluded from the list of the 61 which undertake political killings. The report has however, pointed out that scores of people in India die of torture in police and military custody and that many
also simply disappear. Clearly, only a thin line separates the 61 charged with political murder from the rest. Before coming to such conclusions, however, it may also be necessary to classify the various countries according to their political systems. Torture by the security forces and killings at the behest of the government make no difference to the victims whether they are in a democratic country or a totalitarian one. It is also nobody's case that a democratic country is less culpable than a dictatorship in the event of human rights violations. But the point perhaps still needs to be made that torture or 'disappearances' represent a failure of the system in a democracy in contrast to being an integral part of state policy in a country ruled by an autocrat who is answerable to no one.
India may be guilty of keeping 'tens of thousands' behind bars and of the other human rights abuses mentioned by qualitatively different place from a totalitarian country. It is in this respect that Amnesty has been lass than fair. It has chosen to ignore the distinctions between the good, the bad and the ugly. The openness of Indian society will be evident to anyone who spends half an hour in one of its chaotic market-places or visits the law courts or watches a political rally or reads a newspaper or strikes up a conversation with any person on the roads. There is no sense of fear in India, as in a dictatorship. There is also scope for securing relief from the heavy-handed behaviour of the authorities, even if the human rights commission has not yet lived up to expectations. Unless such points are recognised, Amnesty's assessment will seem to be a dry recital of statistics which may pillory India simply because of its larger population. Mercifully, Amnesty nowadays at least notes that the terrorists also indulge in human rights violations and that India has to cope with several insurgencies fomented by a country where the military does not always seem to be under the control of the elected government. True, there is much that is the way the terrorist challenge is activating the self-correcting mechanism within a democracy and not merely on painting a grim, even biased picture.

What is difficult about the set of all sets that do not contain themselves?
Manhole Covers
Why are manhole covers round?
Mirrors
Why do mirrors seem to flip things left-right but not up-down?
Centrifuge
Can you spin 5 samples in a 12-hole centrifuge, without it being out of balance?
1000 Doors
A thousand doors start closed. Someone walks along and changes the state of each door (opens or closes). A 2nd person changes the state of every 2nd door, and a 3rd person changes the state of every 3rd door. This continues until the 1000th person changes the state of the 1000th door. How can you know if the Nth door is now open or closed? (without simulating the whole thing)
Square of Bugs
Four bugs are on the corners of a 1 meter square. Each bug always faces the next bug (on the next clockwise corner). If they all walk forward at the same speed until they meet, how far does each bug travel?
A Bee and Two Trains
Two trains are 30 miles apart, and travel towards each other at 5 mph and 10 mph. A bee starts at the slower train and flies at 25 mph to the other train. Each time it reaches a train it turns around and flies back to the other train again. What is the sum of the distances that the bee has flown when the trains meet?
Backwards Bee and Two Trains
Two trains start end-to-end at the same point and travel away from each other at 5 mph and 10 mph. A bee also starts at the same point and flies back and forth at 25 mph between the ends of the moving trains. After 2 hours, where is the bee?
Water Levels
You are on a boat in a small pond. You have a stone and a log in the boat. You throw the stone into the water. Does the water level in the pond rise, fall or stay the same? How about if you throw the log in?
Pieces of Stone
A farmer has a 40 lb stone that he uses to measure out bales of hay on a 2 sided balance. He loans it to a friend who accidentally breaks it into 4 pieces. Instead of being angry, the farmer is quite happy. He says to the friend, "you managed to break it into just the right 4 pieces that will now let me weigh any weight between 1 and 40." What are the weights of the 4 pieces?
Breaking Balls
You have 2 bowling balls that each breaks when dropped from the same height. You want to find the highest floor of a 100 story building from which these balls can be dropped without breaking. Devise an optimal procedure that can always locate that floor using not more than N drop tests. What is the smallest N can be?
Strange Trip
Answer: At the south pole. Or, 100 miles south of any point on the circle around the north pole that is 100 miles in circumference. Or, 100 miles south of any such circle whose circumference is an integral fraction of 100 miles.
Three Cards
Answer: 2/3. 2 of the 3 blue sides have blue on the other side. You might think the odds are 50/50 because you could have one of two cards, but you actually get a side at random, not a card, so you are more likely to have the blue/blue card than the red/blue card.
Here is another way to think of it: When you pick a card at random, the chances of it being the same on both sides (either all red or all blue) are 2 out of 3, and this doesn't change just because you see one of the sides. If they did, they'd change no matter which color you saw, and it wouldn't even matter if you looked. So when you do see the blue side, the red/red card is eliminated, but the blue/blue card still has a 2/3 probability.
Monty Hall Problem
Answer: You should switch. Your chances are 2/3 if you do. The initial chances of your first choice were 1/3, and opening another door without the prize doesn't actually change that, so the remaining door now has a 2/3 chance because the chances of all possibilities must sum to 1.
Many people think the chances are 50/50 because there are two doors left, but that is not correct. If you're not convinced 2/3 is correct, consider a 100 door version: you pick 1 door and Monty opens 98 other doors avoiding the one with the prize. Now you have a 99% chance if you switch.
Monty Hall Problem
Answer: Yes, your chances are 5/8 if you switch. The initial chances of your first choice were 1/4, and opening another door without the prize doesn't change that, so the remaining 2 doors now have a 3/8 chance because the chances of all possibilities must sum to 1. But then when Monty opens door 3, using the same reasoning, door 2 stays at 3/8 chance and so the remaining door changes to 5/8.
Two Envelopes
Answer:
This is a strange paradox because it appears that the expected value is the average of double and half which is 1.25 X so you should switch. However, this would be true for any value of X you find, so it wouldn't even matter if you open the envelope. This same logic suggests that you should also immediately switch back to the original envelope again, which doesn't make sense at all.
The fault in this reasoning is that you are not actually given enough information to know that double and half are equally probable. You would need to know more about the process by which the amounts in the envelopes were determined or what the probability distribution of possible amounts is. For example, if there was a known limit for the amounts, you would switch if and only if 2X was within that limit. Note that it is impossible to have an even distribution of all possible values without also having an upper bound. If the amounts can go to infinity, there would have to be some
uneven probability distribution, and you would need to know what that was to solve the problem properly.
Given the lack of any information like this, I believe the correct answer is: It does not matter if you switch.
What's Next?
Answer:
Look at just the right-hand side of each figure.
Helium
Answer: It moves backwards. The deceleration pushes the air in the car forwards which causes the balloon to move in the other direction.
Urns with Balls
Answer: 74/99. Put 1 white ball in one urn and the rest in the other.
Bean Bag
Answer: 2/3. You might think it should remain at 50/50 since you didn't change the initial state of the bag, but this is incorrect. There are 3 equally probable ways you could pick a white bean: 1st bean was black and 2nd was picked, 1st bean was white and 2nd was picked, or 1st bean was white and also picked. 2 of those 3 have a white bean left in the bag.
Four Trees
Answer: Yes. If one or more trees are on a high hill they could form a tetrahedron and all be equidistant.
Suicidal Spots
Answer: They are all dead. Solve recursively: If only one had red he knows it must be him. After he goes, the others know he must have seen only black spots, so then they all go. If two have red, they see only one other red, and when the one other doesn't go the first morning, they both go the second morning, etc.
One Question
Answer: "Which path would your brother tell me leads to the cannibals?" then go that way. Or to ask just 1 person: "If I were to ask you which path leads to the cannibals, what would you say?" and go the other way.
Random Hats
Answer: If the 2 hats you see are the same, guess the opposite color, otherwise pass. If all 3 players use this rule, it works 75% of the time. It fails only when all the hats are the same color.
Northwest Spiral
Answer: sqrt(2). The second pilot is always heading 45 degrees off from north, so he always needs to travel sqrt(2) farther to make the same northerly progress.
Odd Ball
Answer: First weigh 4 balls vs 4.If they balance:
You know the odd ball is one of the other 4 and you can divide-by-2 search from there by just weighing 2 of them and then 1 against the normal balls. If the initial 4 vs 4 don't balance: Name those 8 balls H or L for heavier and lighter as appropriate, and call the other normal balls N.Balance (2H + 2L) vs (1L + 1H + 2N).If that balances: You know the odd ball is one of the other two H or L, which you can determine with a final weighing as above. If that doesn't balance: You have narrowed it down to 3 possible balls, because the tipping direction must be consistent with the previous weighing.If the (2H + 2L) side is heavier: It must be one of those 2H or else the 1L from the other side.Weigh those 2 H balls against each other:If it balances: the 1L from the other side is the odd ball.If it tips: the heavier one is the odd ball. If the (2H + 2L) is lighter, do the symmetrical thing as above reversing L and H. There are variations on this scheme that also work.
Bags of Gold
Answer: Take 1 piece from the 1st bag, 2 pieces from the 2nd bag, and so on up to 9 pieces from the 9th bag. The total weight W would normally be 45. If it is, the 10th bag has the lighter pieces. Otherwise the number of the guilty bag is (45 - W) x 10.
Fair Cake
Answer: A cuts off a piece. B has the option to reduce that piece and take it, and then C has the same option. The remainder of the cake is split between the other 2 people with the usual "one cuts and the other chooses".
Alternate recursive method: Starting with approximate thirds, each person can swap with either of the other 2 but then must give at least a crumb back to whoever he swaps with. This cycles until nobody wants to swap anymore.
Light Switches
Answer: Start with all switches off. Turn switch A on and wait 10 minutes or so. Turn A off and B on. Go into the room. Light A is off and warm, B is on, and C is off and cold.
Grid of Tiles
Answer: No. If the grid is checkered, each tile must cover 1 black and 1 red square. However both missing corners are the same color, so there must be 2 squares with the other color that can never be covered.
1x3 Tiles
Answer: Yes. The 1x1 tile can only be in a 3,3 position. If you label the squares of the grid as follows:
X . , X . , X ., X . , X . , X. , X . , X . ,X . , X . , X ., X . , X . , X. , X . , X . .X . , X . , X ., X . , X . , X
Each 1x3 tile must cover exactly one of each type. There is one more X than dots or commas so the 1x1 square must cover some X position. If you turn this pattern the other way, the same should still be true, and there are only four X positions that remain X after you turn it: , X . , X . , XX . , X . , X .. , X . , X . ., X . , X . , XX . , X . , X .. , X . , X . ., X . , X . , XX . , X . , X .
Answer: No. If the grid is checkered so adjacent cubes are different colors, the mouse must always alternate colors. There are an odd number of cubes so the mouse must end on the same color as he starts, but the center is not the same color as the corners.
Measuring with Jugs
Answer: To measure 4 liters: fill the large jug and pour off 3L by filling the small jug, to leave 2L. Empty the small jug, and transfer the 2L over to it. Then fill the large jug again and pour off 1L by topping off the smaller jug. That leaves 4L in the large jug.
To measure 1 liter: fill the small jug and pour that 3L into the large jug. Fill the small jug again and pour off 2L by topping off the large jug. That leaves 1L in the small jug.
Burning Fuses
Answer: Light both ends of the 10 minute fuse at once. When those burning ends meet somewhere in the middle, light the 15 minute fuse. When that is finished burning, 20 minutes are up.
Pocket Change
Answer: 16 cents: 1 penny, 1 nickel, and 1 dime.
Gloves and Germs
Answer: Put both gloves on the same hand and squeeze the 1st culture. Take the outer glove off and turn it inside out (its now dirty inside and clean outside). Use the glove that is still on to squeeze the 2nd culture. Put the second glove back on over the first (so their dirty sides touch) and squeeze the 3rd culture.
Each squeeze makes 2 sides of a glove dirty (inside and out). 3 squeezes makes 6 sides dirty, but you only have 4 total sides. Therefore you know you must somehow re-use the same side that touches your skin for all 3 squeezes, as above.
Mixed Up Liquids
Answer: They are equal. Call the initial amount of liquids in the jars J, measured in teaspoons. When you add a teaspoon of milk to the water, the milk ratio of the first jar becomes M1 = 1/(J+1) and the water ratio is W1 = J/(J+1). Then, when you add a teaspoon of the mixture back to the water, the resulting water ratio is W1/J = 1/(J+1) = M1.
Feynman's Sucking Sprinkler
Answer: The net change in momentum is zero, so it should not spin. The sucking might tend to make it go backwards, but then the change in momentum at the corners would cancel that.
Train Full of Water
Answer: (Subject to debate.) The train moves to the left as the water moves to the right to get to the spout. But then the water leaving moves to the left and pushes the train back towards the right to conserve momentum, so the train ends up with a slight rightward velocity.
Bubbles in Space
Answer: Towards each other.
Six Chop Sticks
Answer: Make a 3d tetrahedron. Each of its 4 sides is a equilateral triangle.
Stick Boxes
Answer:
If 4 boxes are made from 16 sticks, you know that no boxes can share edges, only corners.
Fish Sticks
Answer:
Ten Points
Answer:
Arrange the points in a star shape, with 5 at the star's points, and 5 at the inner
intersections.
Connect the Dots
Answer:
Answer: 4. Each cube vertex is formed by 3 edges so you need a minimum of one wire-end for each. There are 8 vertices and 4 wires have 8 ends.
Bookworm
Answer: 1602 (or 1600 if you don't count the first and last pages). Books are normally arranged on a bookshelf in order starting with volume 1 on the left, and with their binding facing outwards. Viewing books this way, the first page of a book is on its right and the last page is on its left, so the worm actually only eats through the
middle 8 volumes.
Five Hats
Answer: Assume they are looking left in the order A,B,C. If C saw two black hats he would know he had white. If B saw one black and C didn't say anything, he would know he had white. But neither C nor B say anything, so then A knows he must have
white.
Pop Quiz
Answer: This inductive reasoning leads you to claim the surprise can't be on any day, and therefore doesn't actually differentiate any of them.
Darts
Answer: 2/3. This is just another way of saying: what are the chances that your third dart is not the best.
Girl Babies
Answer: The male to female ratio is 50/50. The odds of each new baby are always 50/50, and a rule for when families stop having children does not affect those odds.
The population size also stays the same, because there are 2 children per family on the average. They all have 1 girl, and the boy/girl ratio is 50/50 so they must also have an average of 1 boy.
Another way to calculate this is as follows: All families have 1 girl. Prior to that, 1/2 of the families also have at least one boy, 1/4 have another boy, 1/8 have another, etc. The sum of the series (1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16...) equals 1. So on the average its just 1
girl and 1 boy.
Hotel Bellboy
Answer: You wouldn't add the bellboys $2 to the $27, you would subtract it. They paid $27, the bellboy kept $2, and $25 was for the room.
Doctor Who
Answer: The doctor is his mother. (Shame on you if you didn't think of that.)
Non-Self Containing Sets
Answer: If this superset (of all sets that don't contain themselves) contains itself, then it shouldn't, and visa versa.
Manhole Covers
Answer: So they don't fall in. A square cover nearly the same size and shape as the hole, for example, could fit into the hole diagonally.
Mirrors
Answer: Mirrors actually flip things front-back. Flipping left-right and then rotating about a vertical axis gives the same transform. A "mirror image" is more easily perceived this way, probably because humans are left-right symmetrical. You could also think of this transform as flipping up-down and then rotating about a horizontal
axis but this is harder to visualize unless you turn your face sideways first.
Centrifuge
Answer: Yes. You can independently balance 3, and then 2. Put 3 in equally spaced from each other, such as in slots 1, 5, and 9. Then put in the other 2 opposite each
other, such as in slots 2 and 8.
1000 Doors
Answer: The doors whose number equals a perfect square are open. Those with an odd number of factors, including 1 and the number, are open, and only perfect squares
have an odd number of factors.
Square of Bugs
Answer: 1 meter. A bug's movement remains perpendicular to the next bug's, so the total distance is the same as if the bug being chased was stationary. They start out 1 meter apart so that is the total distance traveled when they meet in the center.
Another solution method: They must meet in the center, and the distance from a corner to the center is 1/sqrt(2). The bugs always head at 45 degrees relative to the
center, so they will travel a total of sqrt(2) times that distance.
A Bee and Two Trains
Answer: 50 miles. The trains travel for 2 hours until they meet, and the bee flies at 25 mph the whole time, so he flies 50 miles. (Hope you didn't try to calculate each zig
and zag!)
Backwards Bee and Two Trains
Answer: There is no way to know. Trick question.
Water Levels
Answer: The stone sinks and then displaces less water than when it was being floated by the boat, so the water level falls.
The log floats and continues to displace the same amount of water as its weight, so the water level stays the same.
Pieces of Stone
Answer: 1, 3, 9, and 27. You can put multiple pieces on the scale to add their weights, or put pieces on the other side to subtract them.
Breaking Balls
Answer: You can do it in 14 drops. You can't use a normal divide-by-2 search here because once the first ball breaks you'll need to search all the untested floors below from bottom to top. To find the best strategy, work backwards from fewer floors:
1 drop allows you to test 1 floor.
2 drops can test 3 floors: Test the 2nd floor first. It it breaks, test the bottom floor with the other ball. If not, test the top floor with either ball.
3 drops can test 6 floors: Test the 3rd floor first. If it breaks test the bottom 2 floors in order with the other ball. If not, test the top 3 floors as described above.
4 drops can test 10 floors: Test the 4th floor first. If it breaks test the bottom 3 floors in order with the other ball. If not, test the top 6 floors as described above.
N drops allows you to test the number of floors equal to the sum of 1 to N. 14 drops can test 105 floors: Test the 14th floor first. If it breaks test the bottom 13 floors in order with the other ball. If not, test the 27th floor next (14+13), and so on.
For any given drop, the number of drops you'll need after that should be the same if that ball breaks or not (or sometimes they are off by 1 if your total is not an even sum-of-1-to-N).

Directions for Questions 21-26: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.
A leading Indian industrialist in a recent article on ways to strengthen India's economy has drawn attention to the problems of inflation and industrial sickness among other things. One of the main reasons for industrial sickness in our country has been the fact that business and industrial managers, have not been able to look beyond the immediate future. They have been too preoccupied with their attempts to report favorable results for the current year higher profits and larger dividends to the share holders. The planning horizon has hardly ever exceeded five years. Investments have been inadequate for new plants and towards diversification and expansions. Modernisation and asset creation has seriously lagged behind. In business, growth is needed for survival; one has to grow if one does not want to be wiped out This is particularly true today with liberalisation of imports and increasing competition. More over, growth and higher productivity create employment and higher employment creates larger markets both for industrial and consumer products. It was Hentry Ford who brought home the need for the creation of larger and a more stable middle class, that is, a larger number of people who can afford more and more of goods and services. Even after forty years of independence our industrialists have not been able to shed the petty shopkeeper's mentality and our highly educated management has tagged along merrily and without concern.

E) None of the above
Ans: B
22. The leading industrialist attributes industrial sickness mainly to
A) lacunae in five-year plans

Ans: D
23.According to the passage, growth and increasing productivity lead to
A) imposition of restrictions on imports
B) employment and thus provide an outlet to industrial and consumer products
C) encouragement to export of excess consumer goods
D) disproportionate surplus of commodities
E) None of the above
Ans: B
24. Why did Hentry Ford stress the need for a more stable middle class ?
A) They are mostly service oriented
B) They do not have shopkeeper mentality
C) They can afford to buy more and more expensive goods
D) They are most unstable
E) None of these
