5) D The amount after 2 years

=Rs. 1210

The amount after next five years at SI= Rs.1936

6) B In the paragraph, the author speaks about the effects of environmental tobacco some including the effect on passive smokers and mentions that the ban can reduce these effects. The options A, B and C can be concluded from the paragraph but only option B sums up the meaning of

the entire paragraph.

7) C

The integers that are divisible by 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18…... 4998 i.e. a

total of 1666 numbers

The integers that are divisible by 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20,…………….., 5000

i.e. a total of 1250 numbers

The integers that are divisible by 3 and 4 are 12, 24, 36,……………..,

4992 i.e. a total of 416 numbers

The number of integers that are divisible by either 3 or 4

=1666+1250-416 = 2500

The number of integers that are divisible by neither 3 nor 4

= 5000-2500=2500

8) A

9) B

we know that in binary system the digits are 0 and 1.

If we convert the numbers less than 8 into binary system we obtain

only three digits i.e. we get the numbers in 100’s.So the subtraction

cannot be 990.Hence we can eliminate the Options C and D.

Now, 12 will satisfy the conditions given in the problem.

10). D
