Aspirants can check the answers for the above Questions from the below given ones.
1. (b)
Only two languages (One is COBOL)= 1200- (404+388+222+40+74)= 72
2. (a)
COBOL+BASIC and COBOL+C = 1200- (404+388+222+40+74)= 72
Exactly any two languages only = = 72+74 = 146
3. ( b )
COBOL+BASIC and COBOL+C = 1200- (404+388+222+40+74)= 72
C language= 404+74+40+(72-COBOL language and BASIC only)=554
Therefore, COBOL+BASIC =( 404+74+40+72)-554=36
Required total = 222+74+40+36 = 372
4. (e)
BASIC language = 222+74+40+(BASIC and COBOL only)=384
BASIC and COBOL only=384-(222+74+40)=48
Therefore, COBOL and C only=72(BASIC and COBOL only + COBOL and C only) – 48=24
Both COBOL and C = 40+24=64
5. (c)
Number of students study C and BASIC language = Total-COBOL only
=1200-388=812
6. (a)
Dhoni:
Let the distance between his house and school be Y km
Time taken when he walks at 6 km/hr = Y/6
Time taken when he walks at 8 km/hr = Y/8
In the first case he is late by 8 minutes while in the second case he reaches early by 8 minutes. So, time difference = 16 minutes.
So, we have, 
Y = 6.4 km
7. (a)
Dhoni:
Let the distance between his house and school be Y km
Time taken when he walks at 6 km/hr = Y/6
Time taken when he walks at 8 km/hr = Y/8
In the first case he is late by 8 minutes while in the second case he reaches early by 8 minutes. So, time difference = 16 minutes.
So, we have,
Y = 6.4 km
Dhoni needs to cover 6.4 km
In 1st case he walks at 6 km/hr
Required time = 
= 64 minutes
Therefore, 8 minutes late, = 64-8 = 56 minutes.
Required speed =
Kohli:
Let the distance between his house and school be Z km
Time taken when he walks at 6.5 km/hr = Z/6.5
Time taken when he walks at 8 km/hr = Z/8
In the first case he is late by 12 minutes while in the second case he reaches early by 6 minutes. So, time difference = 18 minutes.
So, we have, 
Z = 10.4 km
In 2nd case he walks at 8 km/hr
Required time =
= 78 minutes
Therefore, 6 minutes late, = 78+6 = 84 minutes.
Required speed = 
8. (d)
Kohli:
Let the distance between his house and school be Z km
Time taken when he walks at 6.5 km/hr = Z/6.5
Time taken when he walks at 8 km/hr = Z/8
In the first case he is late by 12 minutes while in the second case he reaches early by 6 minutes. So, time difference = 18 minutes.
So, we have, 
Z = 10.4 km
