Natural gas once extracted from a source is purified for commercial use at natural gas
plants. From gas plants it is pumped to various destinations through pipelines. There
are pumping stations, at intermediate places to maintain recommended pressure in the
pipelines. The pumping stations do not produce or process any natural gas. They pump out
exactly the quantity they receive from plants or other pumping stations.
The following figure depicts a network of natural gas pipelines. The circles denote the
locations of gas plants, pumping stations or cities with big demand for natural gas. One
location can be only one of these three. The numbers on the arrows are the capacities (in
appropriate units) of the pipeline that carry gas in the direction of the arrow. Currently the
demand supply situation is such that the capacity utilization of the pipelines is very close to
100%.

Below is a table that lists countries region-wise. Each region-wise list is sorted, first by birth
rate and then alphabetically by the name of the country. We now wish to merge the region-
wise list into one consolidated list and provide overall rankings to each country based first
on birth rate and then on death rate. Thus, if some countries have the same birth rate, then
the country with a lower death rate will be ranked higher. Further, countries having identical
birth and death rates will get the same rank.

Answer questions 123 to 127 on the basis of the information given below.

A significant amount of traffic flows from point S to point T in the one-way street network
shown below. Points A, B, C, and D are junctions in the network, and the arrows mark the
direction of traffic flow. The fuel cost in rupees for travelling along a street is indicated by the
number adjacent to the arrow representing the street.



Motorists travelling from point S to point T would obviously take the route for which
the total cost of travelling is the minimum. If two or more routes have the same
least travel cost, then motorists are indifferent between them. Hence, the traffic
gets evenly distributed among all the least cost routes. The government can control
the flow of traffic only by levying appropriate toll at each junction. For example, if a
motorist takes the route S-A-T (using junction A alone), then the total cost of travel
would be Rs. 14 (i.e. Rs. 9 + Rs. 5) plus the toll charged at junction A.

123. If the government wants to ensure that all motorists travelling from S to T pay the
same amount (fuel costs and toll combined) regardless of the route they choose and
the street from B to C is under repairs (and hence unusable), then a feasible set of
toll charged (in rupees) at junctions A, B, C, and D respectively to achieve this goal
is:
1) 2, 5, 3, 2 2) 0, 5, 3, 1 3) 1, 5, 3, 2 4) 2, 3, 5, 1 5) 1, 3, 5, 1

124. If the government wants to ensure that no traffic flows on the street from D to T,
while equal amount of traffic flows through junctions A and C, then a feasible set of

Answer Questions 128 to 131 on the basis of the information given below:

In the table below is the listing of players, seeded from highest (#1) to lowest (#32), who
are due to play in an Association of Tennis Players (ATP) tournament for women. This
tournament has four knockout rounds before the final, i.e., first round, second round,
quarterfinals, and semi-finals. In the first round, the highest seeded player plays the lowest
seeded player (seed # 32) which is designated match No. 1 of first round; the 2nd seeded
player plays the 31st seeded player which is designated match No. 2 of the first round, and
so on. Thus, for instance, match No. 16 of first round is to be played between 16th seeded
player and the 17th seeded player. In the second round, the winner of match No. 1 of-
first round plays the winner of match No. 16 of first round and is designated match No. I of
second round. Similarly, the winner of match No, 2 of first round plays the winner of match
No. 15 of first round, and is designated match No. 2 of second round. Thus, for instance,
match No. 8 of the second round is to be played between the winner of match No. 8 of first
round and the winner of match No. 9 of first round. The same pattern is followed for later
rounds as well.

mastermind obtains the correct answer-key. All the others create their answer-key
from one or two people who already possess the same. These people are called his/
her sources. If the person has two sources, then he/she compares the answer-keys
obtained from both sources. If the key to a question from both sources is identical, it
is copied, otherwise it is left blank. If the person has only one source, he/she copies
the sources answers into his/her copy. Finally, each person compulsorily replaces
one of the answers (not a blank one) with a wrong answer in his/her answer key.
The paper contained 200 questions; so the investigative agency has ruled out the
possibility of two or more of them introducing wrong answers to the same question.
The investigative agency has a copy of the correct answer key and has tabulated the
following data. These data represent question numbers.


132. Which one among the following must have two sources?
1) A 2) B 3) C 4) D

133. How many people (excluding the mastermind) needed to make answer keys before
C could make his answer key?

2) E introduced the wrong answer to question 46.

Olympics. The eventual winner is determined through several rounds of voting by members
of the IOC with each member representing a different city. All the four cities in contention are
also represented in IOC.
In any round of voting, the city receiving the lowest number of votes in that round
gets eliminated. The survivor after the last round of voting gets to host the event.
A member is allowed to east votes for at most two different cities in all rounds of
voting combined. (Hence, a member becomes ineligible to cast a vote in a given round if
both the cities (s)he voted for in earlier rounds are out of contention in that round of voting).
A member is also ineligible to cast a vote in a round if the city (s)he represents is in
contention in that round of voting.
As long as the member is eligible, (s)he must vote and vote for only one candidate
city in any round of voting.
The following incomplete table shows the information on cities that received the
maximum and minimum votes in different rounds, the number of votes cast in their favour,
and the total votes that were cast in those rounds.

India's national airline 'INDIAN' is considering purchase of new aircraft to meet an estimated
demand of 4600 seats. The table below presents the relevant data.



It has planned to buy three B777s and five A321s for every B747.

110. How many of each aircraft should the company purchase?
1) B747 = 2; B777 = 6; A321 = 10 2) B747 = 4; B777 = 6; A321 = 6
3) B747 = 3; B777 = 8; A321 = 5 4) B747 = 1; B777 = 6; A321 = 12
111. However, INDIANs budget is limited to $2000 million for this purchase. Given this
constraint, it is willing to be flexible on the proportion of aircraft types to be purchased.
How many aircraft should it purchase such that both budget utilization and meeting the
estimated seat demand are simultaneously maximized?
1) B747 = 2; B777 = 4; A321 = 9 2) B747 = 2; B777 = 6; A321 = 6

Directions: Questions 114 to 116 relate to the HOSPITAL SERVICES SURVEY given
below:
You have conducted a survey among patients in a large hospital and developed
a 'Dissatisfaction Index' (DI) for:
(a) Patients who are waiting for consultation with doctors, DI
wc
, and (b) Patients who are in
consultation with the doctors, DI
ic
.
Consider that there are only two patients in the system. At time t = 0, one goes in for
consultation, and the other begins waiting. Using the survey data, you have developed
the following two mathematical models for representing the dissatisfaction among the two
patients as a function of time 't':
DI
wc
= (t
2
/75) + 0.1 t
DI
ic
= 10 0.5 t

114. What is the optimal time 't' (in minutes) that a doctor should spend offering
consultation to the patient such that the total dissatisfaction of the two patients is
minimized? The two indices are additive.
1) 12.75 min 2) 0 min (3) 15 min 4) 10 min
115. What is the value of the total dissatisfaction index at this point?
1) 7 2) 7.07 3) 10 4) 7.33
116. At what point of time will a patient waiting for consultation have the same DI as a
patient in consultation?
1) approx. 15 min 2) approx. 12.75 min
3) approx. 10 min 4) approx. 7.5 min
