5. Ashok sold a tv and a dvd . He sold a tv at 4% loss and dvd at 16% profit. On the whole he made nither a proofit nor loss. Had he sold the tv at 16% profit and dvd at 4% loss. He would have made a profit of rs. 2700 on the whole. Find the total cost price?Let CP of tv be x and CP of dvd be y.1st case:tv -> sold at 4% loss. so SP = (100-4)/100*CP => SP = 96x/100dvd -> sold at 16% profit, so SP = (100+16)/100*CP => SP = 116y/100

Total CP = x + y and SP = 96x/100 + 116y/100Zero profit or loss, so SP = CP, Solving it we get x = 4y 2nd case:tv -> sold at 16% profit. so SP = 116x/100dvd -> sold at 4% loss. SP = 96y/100Total SP = 116x/100 + 96y/100Now, net profit is Rs.2700 so SP - CP = 2700Frame the equation and solve for x and y.x = 18000y = 4500total CP => x + y = 22500

6) message inferred from the passage

The world production of sugar has been reported to be very scarce as compared to the global sales for four years The demand for sugar is extremely high but the supply has been low for quite some time now This could be because of the awful weather and also because some chief sugar growers have switched to high- priced jute The price of sugar has soared in response to the phenomena of the demand supply disparity The price of sugar now equals that of jute 

1)Sugar production is profitable only when the price of sugar is as high as that that of jute 2)The sugar growers who had shifted to the higher priced jute, will now move back to producing sugar 3) Demand for jute was higher than the demand for sugar, which made sugar growers shift their production 4)If there continues to be a shortfall in the production of sugar, the price of sugar may even exceed that of jute

49. Vacations are a chance to take a break from work, see the world and enjoy time with family. But do they make you happier? Researchers from the Netherlands set out to measure the effect that vacations have on overall happiness and how long it lasts. They studied happiness levels among 1,530 Dutch adults, 974 of whom took a vacation during the 32-week study period. The study, published in the journal Applied Research in Quality of Life, showed that the largest boost in happiness comes from the simple act of planning a vacation. In the study, the effect of vacation anticipation boosted happiness for eight weeks.After the vacation, happiness quickly dropped back to baseline levels for most people. How much stress or relaxation a traveler experienced on the trip appeared to influence post-vacation happiness. There was no post-trip happiness benefit for travelers who said the vacation was “neutral” or stressful.”Surprisingly, even those travelers who described the trip as “relaxing” showed no additional jump in happiness after the trip. “They were no happier than people who had not been on holiday,” said the lead author, Jeroen Nawijn, tourism research lecturer at Breda University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands.The only vacationers who experienced an increase in happiness after the trip were those who reported feeling “very relaxed” on their vacation. Among those people, the vacation happiness effect lasted for just two weeks after the trip before returning to baseline levels.“Vacations do make people happy,” Mr. Nawijn said. “But we found people who are

anticipating holiday trips show signs of increased happiness, and afterward there is hardly an effect.”One reason vacations don’t boost happiness after the trip may have to do with the stress of returning to work. And for some travelers, the holiday itself was stressful.“In comments from people, the thing they mentioned most referred to disagreements with a travel partner or being ill,” Mr. Nawijn said.The research controlled for differences among the vacationers and those who hadn’t taken a trip, including income level, stress and education. However, Mr. Nawijn noted that questions remain about whether the time of year, type of trip and other factors may influence post-vacation happiness.The study didn’t find any relationship between the length of the vacation and overall happiness. Since most of the happiness boost comes from planning and anticipating a vacation, the study suggests that people may get more out of several small trips a year than one big vacation, Mr. Nawijn said.“The practical lesson for an individual is that you derive most of your happiness from anticipating the holiday trip,” he said. “What you can do is try to increase that by taking more trips per year. If you have a two week holiday you can split it up and have two one week holidays. You could try to increase the anticipation effect by talking about it more and maybe discussing it online.”Mr. Nawijn said that while he expected the study results to show a prevacation happiness boost, he was surprised that the study showed that relaxed holidays didn’t affect post-trip happiness levels.“People start working again,” he said. “They have to catch up. Usually there is a big pile of work for them when they get back from the holiday.”

52. Two decades ago, a Thai gardener climbed into the palace of a Saudi prince through a second-story window, busted open a safe with a screwdriver and stole some 200 pounds of jewelry. The former Saudi charge d'affaires in Bangkok told the Washington Post the gardener stuffed "rubies the size of chicken eggs" in his vacuum cleaner bag, along with a huge, nearly flawless blue diamond, which at 50-carats would be one of the largest blue diamonds in the world. In January, five Thai policemen were arrested and charged for a murder allegedly connected to the case, raising hopes that some of the questions surrounding what has come to be known in Thailand as the Blue Diamond Affair would finally be answered. For Thailand, it could mean improved diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia, potentially bringing back hundreds of thousands of jobs in the oil-rich nation to Thai migrant workers.After the 1989 jewel heist, the gardener, Kriangkrai Techamong, airmailed the loot to his home in northern Thailand and hightailed it back. Soon after, three Saudi diplomats in Bangkok were shot execution style in two different attacks on the same night. Despite the deaths, the police tried to return the gems that weren't yet sold by Kriangkrai in an official visit to Saudi Arabia, hoping this would end the scandal. It didn't take long, however, for Saudi Arabia to claim that most of the returned goods were imitation baubles. To add insult to injury, local press reported rumors of photos of the wives of bureaucrats wearing new diamond necklaces at a charity gala, ones awfully similar to ones taken from the Saudi royalty. Needless to say, Saudi Arabia was not amused. In June 1990, the country would stop renewing the visas of more than a quarter million Thai workers who were working in Saudi Arabia and would give out no further ones, cutting Thailand off from billions of dollars in remittances. Saudi Arabia also barred its citizens from traveling to Thailand as tourists. 1) What is highlighted in the passage?

59. SOLVE THIS PASSAGES BEFORE GOING TO TAKE AMCAT EXAM-VERY VERY IMP PASSAGESPassageFasting is an act of homage to the majesty of appetite. So I think we should arrange to give up our pleasures regularly-our food, our friends, our lovers- in order to preserve their intensity, and the moment of coming back to them. For this is the moment that renews and refreshes both oneself and the thing one loves. Sailors and travelers enjoyed this once, and so did hunters, I suppose. Part of the weariness of modern life may be that we live too much on top of each other, and are entertained and fed too regularly.

Once we were separated by hunger both from our food and families, and then we learned to value both. The men went off hunting, and the dogs went with them; the women and children waved goodbye. The cave was empty of men for days on end; nobody ate, or knew what to do. The women crouched by the fire, the wet smoke in their eyes; the children wailed; everybody was hungry. Then one night there were shouts and the barking of dogs from the hills, and the men came back loaded with meat.

This was the great reunion, and everybody gorged themselves silly, and appetite came into its own; the long-awaited meal became a feast to remember and an almost sacred celebration of life. Now we go off to the office and come home in the evenings to cheap chicken and frozen peas. Very nice, but too much of it, too easy and regular, served up without effort or wanting. We eat, we are lucky, our faces are shining with fat, but we don't know the pleasure of being hungry any more.

Too much of anything-too much music, entertainment, happy snacks, or time spent with one's friends- creates a kind of impotence of living by which one can no longer hear, or taste, or see, or love, or remember. Life is short and precious, and appetite is one of its guardians, and loss of appetite is a sort of death. So if we are to enjoy this short life we should respect the divinity of appetite, and keep it eager and not too much blunted.Select the correct answer option based on the passage.Question• 1) What is the author's main argument in the passage?a) The olden times, when the roles of men and women were clearly divided, were far more enjoyable than the present timeb) There is not enough effort required anymore to obtain food and hence the pleasure derived is not the samec) People who don't have enough to eat enjoy life much more than those who have plentifuld) We should deny ourselves pleasures once in a while in order to whet our desires
