S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. Sanjay sold an article at a loss of = 25%.
Acc, to question,
25% + 10% = Rs. 175
100% or Cost Price = 500
UGC NET Previous Year Question June 2019 For Logical & Mathematical Reasoning_40.1
S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. (i) No black is red
(iv) Red is not black
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. (A) Some tables are chairs
(C) Some chairs are bags
S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. Average of 35 raw scores = 18
Total of 35 raw scores = 18 × 35 = 630
total of first seventeen of them = 14×17 = 238
total of last seventeen = 20 × 17 = 340
the eighteenth raw score = 630 – (238 + 340)
= 52
S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. Analogical
S7. Ans.(b)
Sol. no. of alphabets in REASON = 6
REASON is coded as = 6 – 1 = 5
and no. of alphabets in GOVERNMENT = 10
GOVERNMENT is coded as = 10 – 1 = 9
then the code for ACCIDENT = no. of alphabets in ACCIDENT – 1
= 8 – 1 = 7
S8. Ans.(d)
Sol. the total expenditure on taxes for all the years = 80 + 95 + 105 + 85 + 100 = 465
the total expenditure on transport for all the years = 90 + 100 + 110 + 115 + 125 = 540
Required Ratio = 465 : 540
= 31 : 36

S11. Ans.(c)
Sol. total expenditure on all items in 2008 = 150 + 90 + 2.00 + 20.0 + 80 = 342
total expenditure on all items in 2009 = 180 + 100 + 2.50 + 30.5 + 95 = 408
Required ratio = 342 : 408
= 57 : 68
S12. Ans.(c)
Sol. the total amount of interest = 20 + 30.5 + 35.5 + 40.0 + 42.5 = 168.5
