When Tao Ying rides on the bus alone, quite often she does not bother to buy a ticket. Why should she?
Without her, the bus would still be stopping at every stop, a driver and a conductor would still have to be
employed, and the same amount of petrol used. Clearly Tao Ying has to be astute. When the bus conductor
looked like the responsible type, she would buy a ticket as soon as she got on board. But if he appeared to
be casual and careless, she would not dream of paying, considering it a small punishment for him and a little
saving for herself. Today she is with her son Xiao Ye. She follows him onto the bus. As the doors shut her
jacket is caught, ballooning up like a tent behind her. She twists this way an that, finally wrenching herself
free. 'Mama, tickets!' Xiao Ye says. Children are often more conscious of rituals than adults. Without a ticket
in his hand, the ride doesn't count as a proper ride. On the peeling paint of the door somebody has painted
the shape of a pale finger. It points at a number: 1.10 m. Between Xiao Ye 's round head and the tip of the
painted digit setting out the height requirement for a ticket rests the beautiful slender fingers of Tao Ying.
Xiao Ye, you are not quite tall enough, still one centimetre away,' she tells him softly. 'Mama! I'm tall
enough, I'm tall enough! Xiao Ye shouts at the top of his voice, stamping on the floor as if it were a tin drum.
'You told me the last time I could have a ticket the next time, this is the next time. You don't keep your word!
He looks up at his mother angrily. Tao Ying looks down at her son. A ticket costs twenty cents. Twenty cents
is not to be scoffed at. It can buy a cucumber, two tomatoes or, at a reduced price, three bunches of
radishes or enough spinach to last four days. But Xiao Ye's face is raised up like a half-open blossom, waiting
to receive his promise from the sun. She says, 'Two tickets, please.' The fierce conductor has beady eyes.
'This child is one centimetre short of requiring a ticket.' Xiao Ye shrinks, not just one but several
centimetres— the need for a ticket has all of a sudden become interwoven with the pride of a small child. To
be able to purchase self-esteem with twenty cents is something that can only happen in childhood and
certainly no mother can resist an opportunity to make her son happy. ‘I would like to buy two tickets,’ she
says politely.
36. Why does Tao Ying buy two tickets?
(1) To spite the conductor
(2) To make up for the times when she didn’t buy a ticket.

(3) To show off her wealth

(4) To make her son happy
37. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
(1) Tao Ying boarded the bus after her son.
(2) Tao Ying actually needed to buy two tickets.
(3) Tao Ying was travelling with her son.
(4) Twenty cents was a sum that mattered to Tao Ying.
38. Xiao Ye was eager to buy a bus ticket because he :

(1) had saved money for it

(2) was very responsible
(3) wanted to feel like a grown up
(4) had grown taller than 1.10 m
39. .“Xiao Ye shrinks, not just one but several centimetres”-Why?

(1) He feels humiliated and hurt

(2) He feels happy at his achievement
(3) He is angry with the conductor
(4) He feels proud of his height
40. For the child, the ticket was a symbol of :

(1) determination
(2) self esteem
(3) freedom
(4) courage

Answer: Option D
Explanation:

21. 10 yr before, the ratio of ages of A and B was 13 : 17. After 17 yr from now, the ratio of their ages will be
10 : 11. The present age of B is
A. 23 yr
B. 40 yr
C. 27 yr
D. 44 yr

Answer: Option C
Let the ages of A and B 10 yr before were 13k yr and 17k yr, respectively.
Then, present age of A = 13k + 10
and present age of B = 17k + 10
According to the question,

∵ (13k + 10 + 17) / (17k + 10 + 17) = 10/11

⇒ (13k + 27) / (17k + 27) = 10/11
⇒ 143k + 297 = 170k + 270
⇒ 27k = 27
∴k=1
Hence, present age of B = 17 x 1 + 10 = 27 yr

C. 275
D. 300

Answer: Option A

24. If the compound interest on a certain sum for 2 years at 12.5% per annum is 170, the simple interest is
A. Rs. 150
B. Rs. 152.50

C. Rs. 160
D. Rs. 162.50
Answer: Option C
Let the principle is P
so compound interest = p x ( 1 + (12.5/100))sup>2 - p = 170

⇒ p x (112.5/100) x (112.5/100) - p = 170

⇒ P [ 12656.25 - 10000 ] = 170 x 10000
∴ p = (170 x 10000) / 2656.25
Simple interest SI = (P x T x R )/100
= [{(170 x 10000) / 2656.25} x 2 x 12.5] / 100

= 160
25. A walks at a uniform rate of 4km an hour and 4 hours after his start, B cycles after his at the uniform rate
of 10km an hour. How far from than starting point will B catch A?
A. 16.7km
B. 18.6km
C. 21.5km

D. 26.7km
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Suppose B catches A after x hours then,
Distance between travel by A in (x+4)hours = Distance travelled by B in x hours
=> 4(x+4) =10x

=> 6x = 16
=> 3x = 8
=> X = 8/3 hrs
Distance travelled by B in 8/3 hrs
=(8/3 x 10)km = 80/3 km = 26.7 km

26. When 0.252525...........is converted into a fraction, then find the result.

27. Two numbers X and Y are respectively 20% and 28% less than a third number Z. By what percentage is
the number Y less than that of the number X?
A. 8%
B. 9%

C. 10%
D. 11%
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Here Z = 100, x =80 and y =72

According to the formula

Percentage change = 8/80 x 100% = 10%
Hence Y is less than X by 10%
28. The product of two consecutive number odd number is 6723. What is the greater number ?
A. 89

B. 85
C. 91
D. 83
Answer: Option D
Let the two consecutive odd number be (x + 1) and (x + 3).
According to question (x + 1) (x + 3) = 6723

⇒ x2 + 3x + x + 3 = 6723
⇒ x2 + 4x + 3 = 6723
⇒ x2 + 4x - 6720 = 0
⇒ x2 + 84x - 80x - 6720 = 0
⇒ ( x - 80 )( x + 84 )= 0

∴ x = 80, (x ≠ -84)
Hence, the greater number = 80 + 3 = 83
