Cabinet Mission - 1946:

Cabinet Mission was a high powered mission sent in February 1946 to India by the British Government. The mission had three cabinet members- Pethick Lawrence, Stafford Cripps and A.V. Alexander. It aimed to discuss the transfer of powers from the British Government to the Indian leadership, with the aim of preserving India’s unity and granting its independence. The mission proposed a complicated system for India with three tiers: the provinces, provincial groupings and the centre. The centre’s power was to be confined to foreign affairs, defence, currency and communication.

ANSWER FOR LAST WEEK QUESTIONS

1)Answer: Option© 200,360,160

Solution:

Let the ratio be X.

Hence, number of coins be 5X, 9X, 4X respectively.

Now, given total amount= Rs.206

(.50)(5X) + (.25)(9X) + (.10)(4X) = 206

We get X = 40

Therefore, number of 50p coins = 200

Number of 25p coins = 360

Number of 10p coins = 160

2)Answer: Option© 4:5

Solution:

Let the third number be X.

Then, first number = 120% of X = 120X/100 = 6X/5

Second number = 150% of X = 150X/100 = 3X/2

Ratio of first two numbers = (6X/5) : (3X/2) = 12X:15X = 4:5

3)Answer: Option(B) 64%

Solution:

Let the number be X.

Then, ideally he should have multiplied X by 5/3. Hence correct result was X*(5/3) = 5X/3

By mistake he multiplied X by 3/5.

Hence the result with error = 3X/5

Then, error = (5X/3) – (3X/5) = 16X/15

Error% = (error/true value)*100 = [(16X/15)/(5X/3)]*100 = 64%

4)Answer: Option(A) 48 min. past 12

Solution:

Time from 8 a.m. on a day to 1 p.m. on the following day = 29 hours.

24 hours 10 min of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock

145/6 hours of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock

29 hours of this clock = 24*(6/145)*29 hours of the correct clock

= 28 hours 48 min of the correct clock

Therefore the correct time is 28 hours 48 min after 8 a.m. i.e.) 48 min past 12

5)Answer: Option(A) 25200

Solution:

Number of ways of selecting (3 consonants out of 7 and 2 vowels out of 4) = 7C3*4C2 = 210

Number of groups each having 3 consonants and 2 vowels = 210

Each group contains 5 letters.

Number of ways of arranging 5 letters among themselves = 5! = 120

Required number of ways = 210*120 = 25200.
