So,folks here are the correct answers Analogy Question The correct answer is A. A. To be lugubrious is to be doleful; both terms refer to sorrow and mourning. Similarly, to be banal is to be insipid; both terms refer to the commonplace or trite. |

Problem Solving The correct answer is C. This can be answered by supposing that the boy is absent for x days and framing a linear equation. Let me give a different solution here. If the boy is present for all the 20 days he will be paid 100 $. If he is absent for 1 day, from these 100 $, 6.50 $ will be deducted. Since 19.50 $ is deducted, he is absent for 3 days. The required percentage is 15% Click here for the next week's Punch |
