English Language Solutions: 1. The paragraph is pointing out the various data associated with banking in India since Independence, Independenc e, their growth/ decline, distribution and related figures. Thus option 2 is the correct answer. 2. Options 1,3 and 4 are complete opposites of what can be deciphered from the paragraph. Option 5 gives only one of the many things listed in the paragraph. Option 2 on the other hand lists all the key findings and is the correct answer. 3. The following sentence from the paragraph, ‘On the other hand only 15 per ce nt of
bank offices were located in towns with population of 10,000 and lesser.’ shows that option 5 is correct. 4. The word ‘comparatively’ in context of the given paragraph refers states that are better off in relation relation to other states. states. The other options options except ‘absolutely’ are synonyms of the given word. Thus, option 3 is the correct answer. 5. The following sentence in the given paragraph states It would be seen that out of the ‘
92 offices of the foreign banks, 75 offices were located in four States of the country i.e. Maharashtra, Maharasht ra, 23; West Bengal, 25; Delhi, 17; and Madras 10. Punjab and Kerala had 4
offices each,’ making option 1 is the correct answer. 6. The following sentence of the passage states that ‘Out of the remaining 68 scheduled
o ption 5 is the correct answer. banks 15 banks are of foreign origin.’ Hence option 7. The scheduled banks are 76 and these can be grouped under (i) the Public Sector; ‘
and (ii) the Private Sector’. From this sentence in the paragraph it is evident that option 2 is the answer. 2|Page
8. ‘Confidence’ in reference to the given paragraph means the act of faith or believe in
something. In this context, ‘reliance’ is the best fit answer. The other words relate to 'self confidence' and thus is not suitable in the context of the sentence. 9. ‘The reduction in the number of nonscheduled banks has been phenomenal -- from
473 to mere 33...’. From this sentence it can be concluded the solution 3 is the best fit answer. 10.. The following sentence of the passage states that ‘The Banking institutions in India 10 can be broadly grouped under two categories viz., (i) scheduled, and (ii) non-scheduled.’ Thus option 1 is the correct answer. 11. The passage is talking about the initiatives taken by the State Banks Staff Union to withdraw the merger merger of banks with with SBI. And then it it moves on to give some facts. facts. The meanings of the words mentioned in the options are as follows: 1.
‘Dissuade’: ‘persuade (someone) not to take a particular course of action.’
2.
‘Urge’: ‘try earnestly or persistently to persuade (someone) to do
something.’ 3.
‘Disinclined’: ‘unwilling’ or ‘reluctant’.
4.
‘Goad’: ‘provoke or annoy (someone) so as to stimulate an action or
reaction.’ 5.
‘Accredit’: ‘give credit to (someone) for something.’
We can easily eliminated ‘disinclined’ and ‘accredit’ as they are out of the context context of the passage. We can also eliminate ‘dissuaded’ because the decision to merge the banks has already been taken. We want a word that will go with ‘withdraw the efforts’ of this decision. We could have used ‘dissuaded’ if the decision wasn’t made or if wanted to say that they wanted to ‘dissuade’ the authorities from fr om the merger. But here they are talking 3|Page
about withdrawal of the merger. So it must be that they are encouraging the withdrawa withdrawall of the merger. This leaves us with two words – urged’ and ‘goaded’. ‘Goaded’ is a negative word, so it
can also be eliminated. Thus, ‘urged’, the usage of which conveys that the State Banks Staff Union has requested the Union government about something, makes a clear sense
when used in place of the first blank. Hence, the correct answer is ‘urged’. 12. Within 12. Within the context context of the given passage, passage, The State Banks Staff Staff Union urges the government and State Bank India to withdraw the merger of the five associate banks of
the latter. Such crucial information will be contacted to the ‘management’ rather than the ‘disciplinary committee’, ‘consultancy’ or the ‘staff’. ‘Office’ could have also filled the blank, but management is more apt in the context. Hence Hence ‘management’ is the correct answer. 13. Here the context is that of the SBI looking for merger of the Associate banks with SBI itself. Hence a reflexive pronoun has to be used in relation to it. Reflexive pronoun
for a singular subject is ‘itself’, which is the correct answer. 14. The State Banks Staff Union is an ‘organization’ that has raised concerns over the merger. An organization is a permanent structure as opposed to an assembly that gathers for a common purpose temporarily. Clearly the Union is a permanent structure
and hence cannot be termed an ‘assembly’. So, the correct answer is only ‘Organization’. l east 15. Logically, merging two banks would lead to ‘closure’ of several branches of at least one bank. Closure means ‘an act or process of closing something’. Thus, 3 is the correct answer. 16. Had option 4 been ‘announcement’ instead of ‘announce’, it could have been
considered as an apt choice. ‘Quote’ is also incorrect in correct as ‘quotes’ are not given with a purpose – rather they are parts of longer speeches and quotes are picked out of them to fit another context. Whenever something official is said by an official individual or a 4|Page
group, it is in the form of a ‘statement’ given to the press. Hence, ‘statement’ is the correct answer. 17. Clarification regarding an action by any organization is given either by the ‘officials’
or the ‘authorities’ of the organization. Hence, 5 is the correct answer. 18. The whole passage is talking about the effects of merging the banks which would be
in the form of shutting down of the banks. ‘Amalgamation’ ‘ Amalgamation’ also means the same as ‘merger’. Hence both ‘amalgamation’ and ‘merger’ can fit in the blank. Coalition is a willing union of two or more parties. In this case, the merger is not with the consent of the workers of the Associate banks, hence the merger cannot be called a
‘coalition’. ‘Severance’ which means ‘the action of ending a connection or relationship’ is an anton ym of ‘merging’. Hence option 5 is the correct answer. 19. All 19. All these are synonyms and fit fit the blank appropriately. appropriately. Hence, Hence, 5 is the correct correct answer. 20. The sentence suggests uncertainty about the exact number of banks as a numerical figure is mentioned after the blank. Hence ‘almost’ is the best fit for the blank. ‘Most’
and ‘several’ cannot be followed by a definite numerical figure. You can say: (1) There were several hundred people missing. missing. But you cannot say (2) There were several several four hundred people people missing. In the first case, they are talking about any number in the hundreds between 101 to 999.
So we can use ‘several’ before ‘hundred’. But ‘four hundred’ is a definite number and so ‘several’ cannot be used before it. ‘Informally’ does not fit the context and can be excluded. Hence, the correct answer is ‘almost’.

21. The sun had set last evening and the artist recreated it later that night. This means that both the actions were in the past. So the use of the future tense in part 2 of the sentence is wrong. We need to correct this as follows – “The sight of the sun setting last
evening gave the artist…” 22. The wrong participle has been used to describe the baby. The baby is ‘unconcerned’ about everything else. The error is therefore in part 4 of the sentence. The word should
be the past participle and not present participle. participle. The corrected sentence would be “ How sweetly the baby sleeps in the mother’s lap unconcerned about everything else.” 23. The error lies in the part 3 of the sentence where ‘who’ needs to be replaced with
‘whom’. The relative pronoun ‘whom’ is used to further describe the object of the sentence ‘the only man in the whole campus’ so s o the form of the pronoun should be in a form that can replace the object. Thus the corrected sentence would read “ This is the only man in the whole campus whom you can trust completely.”
r elative pronoun. We are trying to describe the 24. ‘Where has’ is wrong usage of relative platform by saying that it has more than a million users. There are several ways to correct it-
(A) The platform that has has more than a million users… (B) The platform which has more than a million users… (C) The platform where there are more than than a million users… So the error is clearly in part 2 of the sentence. The best way to fix it would be in method (A). 25. ‘At’ is the wrong preposition to be used here. ISRO has tested the spacecraft using a
launch vehicle. ‘At’ indicates location while we want a preposition that indicates ‘instrument’. Hence, error is in part 1 of the sentence. ‘At’ should be replaced by ‘with’. 26. There is a wrong use of conjunction in the second part of the sentence. To suggest a contrast that is unexpected in light of the first clause, the conjunction ‘but’ is used. Thus 6|Page
the sentence must read – ‘Brexit may be a success but Britain does not fully understand its ramification ramifications. s. 27. You 27. You might be tempted tempted to mark 4 as the error. But that would would be wrong. Even though the sentence is in the past, the belief was taken to be a common fact and is hence stated in the simple present tense. The error is, in fact, in part 2 of the sentence. There are two ways to correct correct the sentence. sentence. Either: (A) In medieval Europe, Europe, it was believed believed that the sun… OR sun… OR (B)) In medieval Europe, it was a belief that the sun… (B 28. The tense in the given sentence is wrong. The sentence has a cause and effect structure. The effect is the closing down of prisons in Norway in the near future. So we use ‘will be shutting down’ in the future fut ure continuous tense. The cause, however, must precede the effect. The effect must have taken place sometime in the near past for it to be a direct cause to the effect. So we must use the present perfect tense. tense. The error is therefore in Part 3 of the sentence. sentence. It needs to be corrected to ‘as there haven’t been any’. 29. The error in the sentence is that there is a redundant use of conjunctions. We can either use ‘though’ or ‘but’ in the sentence, but we cannot use both. Since we cannot drop ‘though’ in the first part of the sentence since there is a comma (,) present in the second part after which , we must drop ‘but’ in the third part of the sentence. Thus the error is in part 3. 30. The error in the sentence is the mistake in the preposition used in part 4. The preposition ‘on’ should be changed to ‘by’. This is because the watch is an instrument through which we tell time. So you need to use the preposition ‘by’. Thus there is an error in part 4.

∴ Simple interest (S.I.) = amount – principal = Rs (5984 – 4400) = Rs 1584 Rate of interest r = 4% We know that:
..= ×× Where, S.I. = Simple Interest P= principal T = Time R = Rate of interest Now, according to the question, Required time = (1584 × 100)/(4400 × 4) = 9 years Hence, the required time is 9 years.
59.. A man sells two watches 59 watches for Rs. 199 each. On one he gained 10 p.c. and on the other he lost 10 p.c. Selling price (SP) of one watch = Rs 199 Let Cost price (CP) = Rs x 23 | P a g e
Gain % = 10 %
% = − ×100% ⇒ 10 = − ×100 ⇒ 10(x) = (199 - x)× 100 ⇒ 10 x = 19900 – 100x ⇒ 110x = 19900 ⇒ x = 180.9 Rs Now
Selling price (SP) of another watch = Rs 199 Let Cost price (CP) = Rs x Loss % = 10 %
% = − ×100% ⇒ 10 = − ×100 ⇒ 10(x) = (x - 199) × 100 ⇒ 10 x = 100x - 19900 ⇒ 90x = 19900 ⇒ x = 221.1Rs Now
Total selling price = Rs199 + Rs. 199 = Rs. 398 Total Cost Price = Rs. 180.9 + Rs. 221.1 = Rs. 402
% = − ×100% ⇒ % = − 100%% = 0.99 0.99%% ≃ 1% × 100 Now
