Question 1 Explanation:
Total buildings in 2016: Sum the values in the "2016" column for all towns (A-F): 3000 + 2500 + 2960 + 3448 + 2040 + 2272 = 16220
Total buildings in 2018: Sum the values in the "2018" column for all towns (A-F): 3220 + 2640 + 3090 + 3600 + 2200 + 2460 = 17110
Percentage of 2016 buildings in 2018: (16220 / 17110) * 100% ≈ 94.7
Total buildings in 2018: Sum the values in the "2018" column for all towns (A-F): 3220 + 2640 + 3090 + 3600 + 2200 + 2460 = 17110
Percentage of 2016 buildings in 2018: (16220 / 17110) * 100% ≈ 94.7

Question 2 Explanation:
Number of buildings constructed in Town D in 2017: 3500 (from the "2017" column for Town D)
Number of buildings constructed in Town D in 2018: 3600 (from the "2018" column for Town D)
Percentage Increase = ((3600 - 3500) / 3500) * 100% = 4%
Therefore, the number of buildings constructed in Town D increased by 4% from 2017 to 2018.
Number of buildings constructed in Town D in 2018: 3600 (from the "2018" column for Town D)
Percentage Increase = ((3600 - 3500) / 3500) * 100% = 4%
Therefore, the number of buildings constructed in Town D increased by 4% from 2017 to 2018.

410 |
Question 3 Explanation:
Number of buildings in towns E and F in 2021: 2350 (from Town E) + 2560 (from Town F) = 4910
Number of buildings in towns E and F in 2017: 2100 (from Town E) + 2380 (from Town F) = 4480
Difference in number of buildings: 4910 (2021) - 4480 (2017) = 430
Number of buildings in towns E and F in 2017: 2100 (from Town E) + 2380 (from Town F) = 4480
Difference in number of buildings: 4910 (2021) - 4480 (2017) = 430

Question 5 Explanation:
Town A: 3300 (2020) + 3320 (2021) + 3400 (2022) = 10020
Town B: 2792 (2020) + 2800 (2021) + 2900 (2022) = 8492
Town C: 3192 (2020) + 3200 (2021) + 3268 (2022) = 9660
Town D: 3664 (2020) + 3760 (2021) + 3792 (2022) = 11216
Town E: 2320 (2020) + 2350 (2021) + 2380 (2022) = 7050

Question 7 |
A milkman buys 20 liters of milk from a dairy at the cost of Rs.50 per liter. He also purchases some mineral water at the rate of Rs 20 per liter and adds it to the milk. He then sells the adulterated milk at the rate of Rs. 60 per liter and makes a profit of Rs. 400. What is the amount of water he added to the milk?
10 liter | |
8 liter | |
5 liter | |
4 liter |
Question 7 Explanation:
Cost Price (CP) of 20 litres of milk = 20×Rs.50=Rs.1000
Let's assume the milkman adds x liters of mineral water.
Cost Price (CP) of x liters of mineral water = x×Rs.20=Rs.20x
The total cost of the adulterated milk (milk + water) is Rs.1000+Rs.20x
Selling Price (SP) of the adulterated milk = 60×(20+x)
Profit = SP - CP
400=60×(20+x)−(1000+20x)400
Now, solve for x:
400=1200+60x−1000−20x
Combine like terms:
400=200+40x
Subtract 200 from both sides:
200=40x
Divide by 40:
x=5

Question 8 |
Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Pearson's coefficient of correlation 'r' is a very useful measure of the strength and direction of the relationship between two nominal variables.
Statement (II): Pearson's coefficient of correlation 'r' always lies between 0 and 1
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Statement (I): Pearson's coefficient of correlation 'r' is a very useful measure of the strength and direction of the relationship between two nominal variables.
Statement (II): Pearson's coefficient of correlation 'r' always lies between 0 and 1
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Both statement I and Statement II are correct | |
Both statement I and Statement II are incorrect | |
Statement I is incorrect but Statement II are correct | |
Statement I is correct but Statement II are incorrect |
Question 8 Explanation:
Statement I is incorrect because Pearson's coefficient of correlation 'r' is typically used for measuring the strength and direction of the relationship between two continuous variables, not nominal variables.
Statement II is incorrect because the range of Pearson's correlation coefficient 'r' is from -1 to 1, not 0 to 1. A correlation of 1 indicates a perfect positive linear relationship, -1 indicates a perfect negative linear relationship, and 0 indicates no linear relationship.
Statement II is incorrect because the range of Pearson's correlation coefficient 'r' is from -1 to 1, not 0 to 1. A correlation of 1 indicates a perfect positive linear relationship, -1 indicates a perfect negative linear relationship, and 0 indicates no linear relationship.

Question 11 |
Given below are two statements
Statement (I): Truth and falsehood are attributes of individual propositions
Statement (II): Validity can be attributed to any single proposition by itself.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from below the options given
Statement (I): Truth and falsehood are attributes of individual propositions
Statement (II): Validity can be attributed to any single proposition by itself.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from below the options given
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct | |
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect | |
Statement 1 is correct but Statement II is incorrect | |
Statement I is incorrect but Statement Il is correct |
Question 11 Explanation:
Statement 1: This is correct. Truth and falsehood are indeed attributes of individual propositions. A proposition is a statement that can be either true or false. For example, "The Earth is round" is a proposition, and it is true.
Statement 2: This is incorrect. Validity cannot be attributed to a single proposition by itself. Validity is a property of arguments, not propositions. An argument is a set of propositions arranged in a certain way to reach a conclusion. The validity of an argument simply means that if the premises are true, then the conclusion must be true. However, a single proposition, by itself, cannot be valid or invalid. It can only be true or false.

Question 12 |
Which of the following refers to a meth a method of sampling in which a core group of participants who are initially sampled for a research study recruit or recommend other potential participants?
Simple random sampling | |
Snowball sampling | |
Quota sampling | |
Stratified random sampling |
Question 12 Explanation:
Snowball sampling is a method of sampling in which existing study participants recruit or refer other potential participants. This technique is often used when it is difficult to identify and access the target population directly.
