273 BC – 236 BC I) Reign of Ashoka
2nd Century BC IV) End of Mauryan Empire
Among the 16 Mahajanapadas, Magadha Mahajanapada emerged as a powerful empire due to its special geographical
location, rich reserves of iron, a series of worthy kings and Vedic influence. The rulers of Haryanka dynasty, Shishunaga
dynasty and Nanda dynasty strengthened the power of Magadha. Eligible rulers like Bimbisara, Ajatshatru, Udayin,
Kalashoka, Mahapadma Nanda and Ghanananda contributed in this respectively. Alexander crossed the Khyber Pass and
invaded India in 326 BC. He was the ruler of Macedonia (Greece). The Greek invasion had many social, cultural and
political consequences and in this sequence the political base for the Maurya Empire was prepared. Chandragupta Maurya
freed the country from Macedonian slavery with the help of his Prime Minister Kautilya, hence called the liberator of
India. Chandragupta Maurya ascended the throne in 322 BC. Chandragupta's empire extended from the Bay of Bengal to
the Arabian Sea and from Kashmir to northern Karnataka (Mysore) and the Hindu Kush Mountains in the northwest. In
the Mahavansa, Chandragupta Shakal has been described as the ruler of Jambudweep. Chandragupta's authority over
western India (Saurashtra) is confirmed by the Junagadh inscription of Rudradaman. Authority over South India is
confirmed by the Sangam era Tamil literature Ahanarur, so Chandragupta was the first Mauryan emperor to conquer
South India.

residents do not drink any of the two and 180 residents drink only coffee. How many residents have exactly one drink?
(a) 360 (b) 280 (c) 252 (d) None of these
Ans. (b)
Let x be the percentage of the residents who drink both milk and coffee.
∵ 10% of the residents do not drink any of the two, 90% residents drink at least one of the two
Percentage of residents who drink milk = 45 and percentage of residents who drink coffee = 65
∴ 45 + 65 − x = 90
∴ x = 20%
∴ Percentage of residents who drink only coffee = 65 − 20 = 45% and percentage of residents who drink only milk = 45 −
20 = 25% Also, 180 residents drink only coffee
∴ Total number of residents = 180 × (100/45) = 400
∴ Number of residents who have exactly one drink = (45 + 25) % of 400 = 70% of 400 = 280
Hence, the answer is (b).

Hence, 4 will come in place of (D).
Direction (Q.46): In these questions, symbols @, #, %, $ and © are used with different meanings as follows
'A @ B' means 'A is not smaller than B'.
'A # B' means 'A is neither smaller than nor equal to B'
'A % B' means 'A is not greater than B'.
'A $ B' means 'A is neither greater than nor equal to B'.
'A © B' means 'A is neither smaller than nor greater than B'.
Now in each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the three conclusions I, II
and III given below them is/are definitely true and give your answer accordingly.
46. Statements J # H, H © T, T $ R, R % F
Conclusions
I. J # R
II. R # F
III. J # T
(a) Only I is true (b) Only I & II are true (c) Only III is true (d) None of these
Ans. (c)
J > H... (i);
H = T ... (ii);
T < R ... (iii);
R  F ... (iv);
Combining these, we get J > H = T < R  F.
Obviously, R and J can’t be compared. Hence I does not follow.
Again, R  F. Hence II (R > F) is false.
But J > T. Hence III follows.
Hence, the answer is (c).

24. In the U.S. opinion polls, 30% favoured Donald Trump and the rest favoured Hillary Clinton. Following a debate between
the two groups, 20% of the supporters of each shifted their loyalty to the other. Find the percentage of the total electorate
which must shift from Clinton to Trump so that both have equal number of supporters.
(a) 8% (b) 12% (c) 20% (d) 16%
Ans. (b)
Let us assume that there were 100 voters. Before the debate, 30 favoured Trump and 70 Clinton.
Number of voters who shifted their loyalty to Trump = 20% of 70 = 14
Number of voters who shifted their loyalty to Clinton = 20% of 30 = 6
Therefore, after the debate, Clinton would have 70 - 14 + 6 = 62 supporters and Trump would have 30 - 6 + 14 = 38
supporters.
Therefore, 12 supporters must be shift from Clinton to Trump, so that both have equal number of supporters.

Sudraka’s Michhakatikam (The Little Clay Cart) is unquestionably a master piece in the realm of ancient Sanskrit drama.
If we expect literature of the time to faithfully represent the age, then The Little Clay Cart has achieved this criterion
more than any other plays of ancient Sanskrit tradition. The Mudrarakshasa (“Signet Ring of the Rakshasa, the chief
minister of the last Nanda king”), a historical play in Sanskrit by Visakhadatta (4th century CE) narrates the ascent of the
king Chandragupta Maurya to power in Northern India with the aid of Chanakya, his Guru and chief minister.
Vikramovasiya (Urvasi Won Through Valor) is based on the old legend of the love of the mortal Pururavaas for the
heavenly damsel Urvasi. Uttara Ramacharita (The story of Rama’s later life), depicts Rama’s coronation, the
abandonment of Sita, and their reunion.

Given,
Profit on the shirts – Loss on pants = Rs. 90.
3𝑝
 − 𝑞 = 90
4
∴ 3p – 4q =360 ….(ii)
Multiplying (i) by 3 and (ii) by 5 and then subtracting (ii) from (i), we get
3000
50q = 3000 => q = = 𝑅𝑠. 60
50
Putting the value of q in (i) we get
1000
5p = 1000 => p = = Rs. 200

35 * 7 * 25 * 15 * 2
(a) + ÷ = × (b) ÷ + = × (c) × = ÷ + (d) + = ÷×
Ans. (b)
Clearly options (a), (c) and (d) are not the answers because in option (a) the second * of the question has to be replace
by ÷, and we know that 7 is not divisible by 25, Similarly from options (c) and (d), 25 is not divisible by 15. Clearly the
option (b) is the answer. Now, we verify by replacing the signs in the question.
35 ÷ 7 + 25 = 15 × 2
= 5 + 25 = 30
30 = 30
Hence, the required answer is (b).

37. (a) As given,
B2CD……. BCD4…….. BC6D
In this problem, we can see the number in the next is
increasing by 1 and it is also changing the position
alphabetically. Hence, the answer would be
B2CD, BC3D, SOD4, B5CD, BC6D
38. (b) Total number of students = Position of a student from
top + Position of a student from bottom - 1
40 = 17 + position of Rohit from bottom – 1
Position of Rohit from bottom = 40 – 17 + 1 = 24
Hence, “24” is the correct answer. Clearly, option (b) does not follow the pattern.
39. (b) Is the right answer. Hence, the required answer is (b).
46. (d) Except the number 566, all other numbers are perfect
squares.
440 = (21)2− 1
483 = (22)2− 1
528 = (23)2– 1
In this the numbers are increasing and also the 565 ≠ (24)2 – 1
difference is increasing by 2. Similarly, position of M 624 = (25)2− 1

To find the number of students who like either novels b wx y z a, d s t u v c, fo p q r e.
or movies, but not both, we use the formula: Hence, the required answer is (b).
Only novels = Novels − Both = 25 − 10 = 15 48. (c) R drives and so is in the front. P and T are at the back,
Only movies = Movies − Both = 30 − 10 = 20 with P occupying a window and T, the middle seat. The
remaining seat at the back can only be occupied by S. So
So, the total number of students who like either novels

or movies, but not both = 15 + 20 = 35.
Hence, option (c) is the answer.
42. `(b) The route traversed by the bus is shown below
49. (c) 1+7 = 8
8+14 = 22
22 + 21 = 43
43 + 28 = 71
71 + 35 = 106
50. (c) Is the correct answer.
As can be seen, the bus finally faces north.

Hence, option (b) is the answer.
Note: The actual distances are irrelevant in this question
as only the direction that the bus faces is required. Based
on the turns, the bus would face north irrespective of the
distances. The distances would have been relevant had
the direction of the bus been asked w.r.t the original
position.
43. (a) All are related to elections. It is clear from above diagram, the distance between P
Hence, the required answer is (a). and N is 25m.

where 𝑟 is the radius and 𝑙 is the slant height. Share of B in profit = (26000 - 10000)
Given: = Rs. 16,000
Radius 𝑟 = 5 cm, Slant height 𝑙 = 13 cm, and 𝜋 = 3.14 By using formulas:

Hint (Q.37- Q.41): Sitting arrangement 44. (a) According to the questions, we well have to find out
such persons who read atleast two of Newspapers. So,
from the diagram, we will study carefully the number
of all the readers who read atleast two Newspapers but
we also will count those readers who read maximum
of three Newspapers because according to the
question it is clear that whatever be the maximum
number of readers but they should read atleast two
Newspapers compulsorily. Therefore from the
diagram, we can find out all the number of those
persons who read two types of Newspapers. Here, we
could find it as 2 + 8 + 5 + 12 = 27. Just because the
37. (c) Three persons sit between C and D.
survey was conducted only on 50 persons.
Hence, the required answer is (c)
Out of 50 the number of person reading atleast two
38. (a) D and F are immediate neighbours of E.
Newspapers
Hence, the required answer is (a)
Out of 10,000 it will be 27/50 × 10,000 = 5400
39. (d) D sits immediate left of H. 5400 persons will read at least two Newspapers.
Hence, the required answer is (d) Hence, the required answer is (a).
40. (c) F is third to the left of A. 45. (d) G comes within triangle and square but not within
Hence, the required answer is (c) circle, which represents cricket.
41. (b) C is fifth to the right of E. 46. (a) Option 2 and option 4 does not have that diagonal line,
Hence, the required answer is (b). Option 3 does not have that horizontal line.
42. (b) Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
47. (a) After reflection, the arrow will keep pointing top but
its head will be near the left edge and its tail near the
right edge. In the bottom figure, the open line will be
near the left edge and vertex of the triangle near the
right edge.
48. (a) Figure A and B are vertically inverted to each other. In
simple terms when you see the figure 1 in the mirror
inversely, you will see a figure similar to the one given
in figure 2. Applying the same logic, the figure in option
(a) will be vertically inverted to the figure 3. Thus the
correct answer is option (a).
49. (d) Given.
From the above family tree, it is clear that woman in 8 : 448 :: ?
the picture is wife of Raju. Pattern is 83 – 82 = 448
43. (b) Clearly, figure (b) will complete the pattern when 512 – 64 = 448
pattern when placed in the blank space of problem Similarly,
figure. Hence, the answer is (b). 113 – 112 = 1210
