Bengal’s power to withhold consent to CBI is not absolute: Centre to Supreme Court
The Centre told the Supreme Court that Mamata Banerjee’s government in West Bengal does not have any absolute power to keep the CBI from investigating crimes inside the State. The Centre said that no power, not even the Union government, has the authority to rattle the autonomy of the premier agency to conduct investigations, especially in the cases of post-poll violence transferred to it by the Calcutta High Court, in which the State Police is under a cloud. The Union Government, through the Department of Personnel and Training, was responding to a suit filed by the West Bengal Government against the Union of India under Article 131 of the Constitution. The State has challenged the CBI’s jurisdiction to register FIRs and conduct investigations in the State in myriad cases. West Bengal said it had withdrawn general consent to the CBI way back in 2018. The State said the CBI’s actions were a direct attack on the federal structure of governance and aimed to harass the ruling Trinamool Congress leaders in the State. The case came up for hearing before a Bench of Justices L. Nageswara Rao and B.R. Gavai on Friday. The Bench said the arguments in the case need to be heard in detail, and posted it for hearing on November 16. The suit is filed by proceeding on the basis that the power to withhold consent is absolute. This certainly cannot be so the Centre said. In its affidavit, the Centre, while maintaining that West Bengal’s power to withhold consent to the CBI was far from absolute, accused the latter of suppressing information in the apex court that the post-poll violence cases were transferred to the agency by the Calcutta HC. It said withdrawal of general consent would not stand in the way of constitutional courts entrusting the CBI with the cases where it is found that the State Police would not effectively conduct a fair and impartial investigation. Besides, the CBI was empowered to probe cases concerning any of the Central subjects enumerated in the Union List in the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution. The affidavit said the alleged crimes under investigation were offences under parliamentary laws. All these would be traceable to laws made by Parliament… the State government would not have the competence to use its police force to investigate these offences, the Centre argued. The Union’s affidavit referred to 12 cases highlighted by the State. It said these cases also relate to offences of corruption against Central Government employees, etc. There are numerous investigations which are being carried out against Central Government employees or have either pan-India impact or impact on more than one State for the purpose of conducting investigation into such offences. It is always desirable and in the larger interest of justice that the Central agency conducts the investigation in such cases, the Centre said. It questioned why West Bengal had made the Union of India the sole party in the suit before the Supreme Court. The Union of India has not registered any case in the State of West Bengal, nor has it been investigating any case, the 61-page affidavit said. The Centre said West Bengal has strangely not made CBI a party to the suit. Suits under Article 131 are filed exclusively in the Supreme Court with regard to disputes between States, or between the Centre and State. The Centre said that since the Union of India has nothing to do with the affair and since the CBI was an autonomous body not controlled by the Union Government, the suit was misplaced and should be dismissed. The apex court had issued notice in the suit in early September. The State government, in its plea, has sought a stay of investigation in the FIRs lodged by the CBI.
Bhima Koregaon Commission summons Param Bir Singh and Rashmi Shukla
The Bhima Koregaon Commission on Friday issued summons to IPS officers Param Bir Singh and Rashmi Shukla to appear as witnesses in the caste-based violence that occurred on January 1, 2018 in Pune. The Commission is a judicial inquiry which was appointed in February 2018 after violence broke out when Dalits were attacked while observing the 200th anniversary of the battle against the Peshwas that the British won with the help of Dalit soldiers. Commission, headed by JN Patel, retired chief of Kolkata High Court and Sumit Mullick, former Maharashtra Chief Secretary, on Friday issued summons to Singh, who was the Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) in 2018 and Shukla, who was the Commissioner of Pune police. They are expected to respond to the summons by November 8, 2021. So far, several extensions have been given to the Commission and over 35 witnesses have deposed before it. However, the evidence is still evolving and several State and Police officials are expected to depose as witnesses soon, Commission’s lawyer Aashish Satpute told The Hindu. The Commission has so far received nearly 500 affidavits — from victims, Dalit outfits, NGOs, right-wing groups, government and police officials — across Pune, Mumbai and Thane.
79 cases booked under unlawful conversion law in U.P
Of the 79 cases registered against unlawful conversion under the 2020 law in Uttar Pradesh till July this year, chargesheets have been filed in 50 cases, while final report was filed in seven cases, according to a document submitted by the State government in the Allahabad High Court. Of the 79 FIRs, investigation was pending in 22 cases, the State government said in a counter affidavit in response to a bunch of PILs challenging the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act 2021 (earlier ordinance 2020). Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel promulgated the ordinance on unlawful conversion days after it was passed by the Yogi Adityanath-led State cabinet last November. Out of the 79 FIRs lodged till July 7, most were registered in Bareilly zone 21, followed by Meerut Zone 15, Gorakhpur 12, Agra seven and Prayagraj five. The cases in which final report was submitted include the Moradabad case last December when the husband of a Hindu woman Pinki who was pregnant was arrested under the law. The woman, who was temporarily kept in a government shelter, had reportedly suffered a miscarriage leading to outrage over the case. Her husband Rashid and his brother were arrested when they had reached the marriage registration office in Kanth on the complaint of Pinki’s mother, who alleged Rashid had induced her into marriage and converted her under the garb of providing her a job. Later, in her statement before a magistrate, Pinki had said they married through consent as both were adults. The final report was also placed in the Shahjahanpur case where five persons, including two Christians originally from Tamil Nadu and two Dalits, were booked under the ordinance on the complaint of Ram Lakhan Verma, a city convenor of the Bajrang Dal. Verma had alleged that they were trying to lure him and others into converting into Christianity with the promise of jobs and free education for children. The accused were also thrashed by members of the right-wing outfit. However, the accused denied the charges and said they were only participating in a musical prayer service in a marriage lawn on January 3, 2021 to mark the first Sunday of the New Year. While providing data under the new law, the State government’s affidavit said the the assertion that no official data is available to substantiate the claim that the social fabric is threatened by [forcible conversions] is fallacious, misconceived, not admitted and is denied. The new law makes religious conversion a cognisable and non-bailable offence, inviting penalties of up to 10 years in prison if found to be effected for marriage or through misrepresentation, force, undue influence, coercion, allurement or other allegedly fraudulent means.
One dead in south Mumbai tower blaze
One person died after falling from the 19th floor and 16 others were rescued after a fire broke out in the 60-storey Avighna Park in south Mumbai’s Curry Road area around midday on Friday. The fire was doused by evening and Municipal Commissioner of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has ordered an inquiry based on the complaints filed by other residents of the high rise. Arun Tiwari, 30, was working as a security guard in the building and was present at the 19th floor when furniture work was going on in one of the flats. He panicked and ran to the window from where he was trying to come out by hanging outside. But he fell. He was rushed to the KEM hospital but he was declared dead on arrival, said a fire brigade official. Mumbai mayor Kishori Pednekar said the staff of the tower should have rushed to evacuate and help immediately after the fire broke out while fire brigade was on its way. Had they acted, the man could have been saved, she said. Pednekar added that residents have complained against the developer of Avighna Park for non-cooperation in land conveyance and other matters. It has resulted in delay in several safety-related matters in the tower and today’s incident is a result of that, she said. Municipal Commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal said the civic officials have taken a note of complaints of residents. An administrative probe will be conducted and action will be taken based on that, he said. The fire broke out at around 11.45 a.m. A total of 40 vehicles, including 14 fire engines, nine jumbo tankers, one control room vehicle, and skylift were on the spot. The fire was controlled by around 3.30 p.m. and it was completely doused by around 4.58 p.m.

China launches Shenzhou-13 spacecraft with three astronauts on a historic 6-month mission
China on October 16, 2021 launched Shenzhou-13 spacecraft carrying three astronauts – two men and one woman – on a historic 6-month long mission. The spacecraft was launched aboard a Long March-2F rocket from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the northwestern province of Gansu. The spacecraft will dock with the Tianhe module, the core module of a future space station where they will live and work for the next six months. The mission will set a new record for the length of time spent in space by Chinese astronauts, as it would be their longest stay in space as the nation looks to complete building its own space station.
China’s second crewed mission will continue the work of the first three-person crew, who had spent 90 days aboard. The members of the first crewed mission had conducted two spacewalks and had deployed a 10m mechanical arm before returning to the Earth in mid-September.
New social media platform launched by Donald Trump
Former US President Donald Trump is planning to launch his own social media platform called ‘TRUTH Social’. Trump said the social media group will form “a rival to the liberal media consortium.” Trump said in the statement, “We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced.” A beta version of ‘TRUTH Social’ will be available for invited guests in November, as per an official statement released via email by the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG). Truth Social will be created through the merger of Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG)and Digital World Acquisition Group. The merger will result in TMTG eventually becoming a publicly listed company, which will be subject to regulatory and stockholder approval. Truth Social is being launched with a mission to give a voice to all, said Trump, Chairman of TMTG. Through the platform, he looks to fight back against Big Tech. Trump stated that he created TRUTH Social and TMTG to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech. He also mentioned that he is excited to send out his first TRUTH on TRUTH Social very soon. Truth would be equivalent to a tweet.
Supreme Court says farmers have right to protest but can’t block roads
The Supreme Court on Thursday saw the farmers’ side and the government engage in a verbal clash during a physical hearing. Farmers, represented by senior advocate Dushyant Dave and advocate Prashant Bhushan, said roads were deliberately blocked in order to turn public sentiments against them. The protesters should be allowed to enter the Ram Lila Maidan and Jantar Mantar to continue their protests against the agricultural laws. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, for Haryana, reminded the court about the Red Fort violence in January that left several hundreds injured and others killed. A Bench led by Justice S.K. Kaul acknowledged that there is a problem with movement, we are not going to accept there is no problem. It stated that a solution needed to be found for the nearly two-year impasse between farmers and the government. The court noted that it had laid down the law in the Shaheen Bagh protests case that the right to protest should not hamper the right to movement of the public. Justice Kaul observed, The law is laid down. There is no reason for the SC to lay down the law again and again… Ultimately, some solutions have to be found — roads cannot be blocked. Dave contended that the right to protest was a fundamental right. The roads were blocked by police. The government’s view on violence by protesters seemed to be skewed. He asked why farmers were not being allowed at Jantar Mantar when Tuesday saw massive protests organised by the BJP in the area over the attack on Hindus in Bangladesh during Durga pooja. The solution is to allow us to agitate at Jantar Mantar… Mehta submitted, Last time they came, it became a serious issue… something much more than a serious issue. He insinuated that sometimes it is felt the farmers’ agitation is not for the cause but for something else. Dave retorted that farmers felt the same way about the government’s agricultural laws. We also feel that the farm laws are not for the farmers but for something else… If you are going to make allegations against the farmers, we will make allegations against you. He repeated that the only solution to the problem would be to allow farmers’ entry to the Ram Lila Maidan. Mehta said the Ram Lila Maidan has become a permanent residence for many. He referred to how there was material to suggest that the protests were funded by anti-national elements. So far, only four out of 43 farmers’ bodies and leaders have responded to the top court’s notice on a plea by a Noida resident to remove the blockades. Dave told the Bench that a similar case was being heard by another Bench and this case should be transferred there. The court issued notice on new petitions filed by other private citizens seeking the removal of the blockades. The Bench posted the hearing on December 7.
Anil Deshmukh money-laundering case: CBI chief Jaiswal is a ‘potential accused’, Maharashtra government tells HC
CBI director Subodh Jaiswal himself should be considered a potential accused in the central agency’s probe against former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh, the State government told the Bombay High Court on Thursday. Senior counsel Darius Khambata, who appeared for the Maharashtra government, told a bench of Justices Nitin Jamdar and S.V. Kotwal that during 2019 to 2020, when Jaiswal was the State Director General of Police (DGP), he was also part of the Police Establishment Board. The senior IPS officer was thus involved in decisions on transfers and postings of police officers which the CBI is now probing, the lawyer said. The Maharashtra government has challenged before the High Court summons issued by the CBI to State chief secretary Sitaram Kunte and present State DGP Sanjay Pandey to record statements in connection with the agency’s probe against Anil Deshmukh. Recommendations for transfers and postings were approved by Jaiswal in his capacity as DGP during Deshmukh’s tenure, Khambata said. A CBI probe is ongoing into transfers and postings of state police officers made during former Home Minister Anil Deshmukh’s tenure. Then the next in line (to be probed) is the Director General of Police, who is the fulcrum, who is at the heart of the issue of transfers and postings. So having the former DGP head the investigation is like having Anil Deshmukh investigate it himself, the State’s lawyer said. The CBI is probing allegations of corruption made by former Mumbai police commissioner Param Bir Singh against Deshmukh, an NCP leader. Following an order of the Bombay High Court on April 5, 2021, the CBI conducted a preliminary inquiry into the allegations made by Singh against Deshmukh and later registered an FIR. In September this year, the CBI summoned Maharashtra chief secretary Sitaram Kunte and the present DGP Sanjay Pandey for recording statements in the case. The Maharashtra government has moved the HC challenging the summons. Advocate Khambata also pointed out that the HC’s April 5 order had said that whoever was part of the alleged corruption, even the complainant himself, must be investigated. He showed the court the minutes of meetings where Jaiswal, as part of the police establishment board, had approved transfers of several police officers. Jaiswal was present at every meeting on transfers, Khambata claimed. So shouldn’t the CBI ask Jaiswal why he recommended these transfers? But to do this, a CBI officer will have to summon and question his own director. Even in theory, it is absurd. It is the very antithesis of a fair investigation when the CBI director is a potential accused, the State’s lawyer added. Jaiswal, who was known to be an upright officer, must himself state that the CBI cannot go on with its probe, Khambata said. It will be absurd if a junior CBI officer will have to put these questions to his director. And it boggles my mind that a potential accused is heading the agency, he said. Khambata urged the HC to appoint a retired judge or some other suitable person to head the probe against Deshmukh and monitor it. Solicitor general Tushar Mehta and Additional Solicitor Generals Aman Lekhi and Anil Singh, who appeared for the CBI, opposed the State’s plea. The State’s stand is disingenuous. It is a misconceived petition to delay and derange the investigation, Lekhi claimed. The court said it could not grant any interim stay to the summons as it would mean making comments on the merits of the case. It granted liberty to the CBI to file a reply and posted the matter for further hearing on October 28.
Sidhu calls Amarinder Singh ‘architect’ of Centre’s farm laws
Punjab Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu on Thursday called former Chief Minister Amarinder Singh the architect of the Centre’s three farm laws against which farmers have been protesting at the Delhi borders. Sidhu’s remark came two days after Amarinder Singh said he would launch his own political party and that he was hopeful of a seat arrangement with the BJP, provided the ongoing farmers’ stir against farm laws was resolved in the agriculturists’ interest. Amarinder Singh, who faced an unceremonious exit from the State government last month, had also said that he was looking at an alliance with like-minded parties such as breakaway Akali groups. The architect of three black laws… Who brought Ambani to Punjab’s kisani… Who destroyed Punjab’s farmers, small traders and labour for benefiting one-two big corporates, Sidhu tweeted in an apparent reference to farmers’ allegations that big corporates will dictate terms to agriculturists with the passage of these laws. Amarinder Singh had resigned as the Punjab Chief Minister last month amid a bitter power tussle with Sidhu. Charanjit Singh Channi replaced him as the Chief Minister. Hundreds of farmers, mostly from Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, have been camping at the Delhi borders since November 26 last year, demanding the repeal of the three farm laws.
Actor Ananya Panday appears before NCB to record statement
Actor Ananya Panday appeared before the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Thursday after the central agency allegedly came across WhatsApp chats during its investigation against Aryan Khan, son of actor Shah Rukh Khan, in a drugs case, sources said. Ananya’s father Chunky Panday accompanied her to the NCB office located at Ballard Estate in south Mumbai, where they reached around 4 pm. The NCB’s Mumbai zonal unit, which is probing the cruise drugs seizure case, in which Aryan Khan has been arrested, visited Ananya Panday’s residence in Bandra this morning and summoned her to record her statement later in the day, the sources said. Ananya’s name cropped up in the case after certain WhatsApp chats between her and Aryan Khan were allegedly found in the latter’s mobile phone, the sources said, adding that earlier in the day, the NCB officials had seized her mobile and laptop. Ananya was asked to appear before the NCB in the afternoon. Accordingly, she along with her father Chunky Panday appeared before the NCB officials, the sources said. The NCB officials, however, are yet to clarify about her role, if any, in the case. There was heavy deployment of police outside the NCB office and a large number of media persons were also present there. Aryan Khan was arrested with a few others on October 3 after the NCB raided a cruise ship off the Mumbai coast and claimed to have seized drugs, including charas. An NCB team visited Shah Rukh Khan’s residence ‘Mannat’ in suburban Bandra this afternoon for seeking from him certain material related to the investigation into the case, an official said. On Thursday morning, Shah Rukh Khan met his son Aryan Khan at the Arthur Road jail in Mumbai where the latter has been lodged following his arrest in the case.
Adityanath government plans to take action against policewomen who clicked photo with me: Priyanka Vadra
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday claimed that the Yogi Adityanath government is planning to take action against some Uttar Pradesh policewomen who had posed for a photograph with her. The news is coming that Yogi ji got so upset with this picture that he wants to take action against these policewomen, Priyanka Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi along with the picture which is said to have been clicked on Wednesday while she was on her way to Agra to meet the family of a Dalit sanitation worker who had died in police custody. If it is a crime to take pictures with me, then I should also be punished as it does not suit the government to spoil the career of these hardworking and loyal policewomen, Priyanka added. The Congress leader was stopped on the Lucknow-Agra Expressway while she was on her way to meet the family members of Arun, who was accused of stealing ₹25 lakh from Jagdishpura Police Station in Agra and died in police custody after his health deteriorated during interrogation. According to a senior Lucknow Police official, an inquiry has been ordered into the matter of the women police personnel posing with the Congress general secretary to see if there is any violation of service rules.
Minor porn addicts kill 6-year-old girl in Assam
The police in central Assam’s Nagaon district arrested two minor porn addicts who stoned a six-year-old girl to death for resisting sexual abuse. An eight-year-old boy was also arrested for abetting the crime, along with the parents of one of the two boys — both 11 — for trying to suppress the incident and tamper with evidence. The girl was killed on October 18 at a village under the Uluoni police station. Found lying unconscious inside the toilet of a stone-crushing mill, she was declared dead on arrival at a local hospital. Sub Divisional Police Officer Mrinmoy Das said the victim was a next-door neighbour of the three accused, who are related. The two 11-year-olds were porn addicts, seemed mature beyond their age and capable of execution of a gruesome crime. One of the minors, who studies at an English medium school, wanted to have a physical relationship with the victim but she resisted, he said. He attacked her with a stone after she said she would tell her parents about his misbehaviour. The other 11-year-old boy also hit her with a stone and she died, Das said, adding that the eight-year-old helped the other two dispose of the body. The parents of the first 11-year-old were arrested for trying to hush up the crime and tamper with evidence, the police officer said. The boy was using his father’s smartphone. We found pornographic materials in the phone’s browsing history. He used the phone for his online classes but got addicted to watching porn and would show the X-rated contents to the other two, his cousins, Das said. The boys were sent to a juvenile home on Thursday while the arrested parents are likely to be remanded to judicial custody, the police said. Nagaon SP Anand Mishra said the incident underlined the need for family or social intervention and institutional guidance to children exposed to the ills of pornographic or violent content available online. Jayanta Das, a Guwahati-based psychiatrist, blamed the incident on abuse and overuse of technology and lack of parental guidance, with modern-day parents tending to let even infants be entertained with mobile phones instead of telling them stories or spending quality time with them. The pandemic, too, has created a situation where the parents are compelled to hand the mobile phone over to their children for online classes, he told The Hindu. He advised parents and adults to use mobile phones responsibly as children tend to imitate their actions. Access to porn has become very easy. This has hugely affected our children. The roles of parents and teachers have become very important, the psychiatrist said.

Q. 52 A boat can cover 36 km downstream and 16 km upstream in 10 hours. It can cover 3 km downstream and 1.2 km upstream in 48 minutes. What is the speed (in km/hr) of the boat when going upstream?
(A) 2
(B) 2.5
(C) 3.5
(D) 4
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
let the speed of the boat=b
speed of the stream=s
Given (36)/(b+s) +(16)/(b-s) =10
(36b-36s+16b+16s)/((b-s)(b+s))=10
52b-20s=10(b-s)(b+s)
Also given (3)/(b+s) +(1.2)/(b-s) =4/5
(3b-3s+1.2b+1.2s)/((b-s)(b+s))=4/5
4.2b-1.8s=(4/5)(b+s)(b-s)
dividing both the equations we have
104b-40s=105b-45s
-b=-5s
b=5s
Substituting in the above equation
(3)/(5s+s) +(1.2)/(5s-s) =4/5
(1/2s)+(3/10s)=4/5
8/10s =4/5
s=1 km/hr
b=5 km/hr
Upstream speed=5-1
=4 km/hr

Q. 54 Study the following table and answer questions:
Number of students studying in five schools of a city
In how many schools, the number of girls is more than the average number of boys per school?
(A) 1
(B) 2
(C) 4
(D) 3
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
Total number of boys in all the schools is
(9/17)*680=360
(4/9)*720=320
(5/18)*540=150
(2/3)*660=440
(13/25)*900=468
Sum=1838
average=1838/5 =367
Number of girls in each school=680-360=320
720-320=400
540-150=390
660-440=220
900-468=432
Therefore three schools have the girls more than average boys per school.
Q. 55 Two solutions of acid and water containing acid and water in the ratio 2 : 7 and 4 : 5, respectively are mixed in the ratio 2 : 5. What is the ratio of acid and water in the resulting solution?
(A) 8 : 13
(B) 3 : 7
(C) 8 : 17
(D) 2 : 1
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
acid content in 1st solution 2/9
acid content in second solution=4/9
They are mixed in the ratio 2:5
x is the acid present in the final mixture
By using the principle of allegations we have
((4/9)-x)/(x-(2/9))=2/5
(20/9)-5x=2x-(4/9)
7x=24/9
x=8/21
8 parts of acid and 13 parts of water.
Ratio=8/13
Q. 56 What is the mean of the range, median and mode of the data:
Q. 57 Suman sold an article for 882 after allowing 16% discount on its marked price. Had she not allowed any discount, she would have gained 20% on the cost price. What is the cost price ofthe article?
(A) 875
(B) 850
(C) 890
(D) 880
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
MP-discount=SP
MP-0.16MP=882
0.84MP=882
MP=882*100/84
Given in the second case MP=SP
Therefore 1.2CP=SP
CP=SP/1.2
CP=(882*100)/(84*1.2)
CP=875
Q. 58 Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 12 minutes and 15 minutes, respectively. When an outlet pipe C is also opened, then the three pipes together can fill the tank in 10 minutes. In how many minutes can C alone empty the full tank?
(A) 18
(B) 20
(C) 16
(D) 24
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
Time taken for Pipe A to fill the tank=12 minutes
Time taken for Pipe B to fill the tank=15 minutes
Time taken for Pipe C to empty the tank=x minutes
Therefore (1/12)+(1/15)-(1/x)=(1/10)
(1/x)=(1/12)+(1/15)-(1/10)
(1/x)=(5+4-6)/60
(1/x)=3/60
x=20 minutes

(A) 20
(B) 16
(C) 18
(D) 24
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
Let the number of people be ‘x’
Sum of the weights=75.5x
72.6 kg. 74 kg, 73.4 kg and 70 kg were added and average decreased to 75
Sum=290 kgs
Total sum=75.5x+290
Average=(75.5x+290)/(x+4)
(75.5x+290)/(x+4)=75
75.5x+290=75x+300
0.5x=10
x=20 people
Q. 62 Two numbers are in the ratio 5 : 6. If 16 is subtracted from each, the numbers will be in the ratio 3 : 4. If 8 is added to the first number and 3 is subtracted from the second, then they will be in the ratio:
(A) 14 : 13
(B) 16 : 15
(C) 15 : 16
(D) 13 : 14
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
let the two numbers be 5x and 6x
Given (5x-16)/(6x-16)=3/4
20x-64=18x-48
2x=16
x=18
Numbers are 40 and 48
8 is added it becomes 48 and 3 is subtracted it becomes 45
Ratio 48:45
=16:15

Explanation:
Given the ratios of efficiencies 5:6:9 and so
A can do the work in (x/5) days
B can do the work in (x/6) days
C can do the work in (x/9) days
Therefore 1/(x/5) + 1/(x/6)+ 1/(x/9) =1/36
(5/x)+(6/x)+(9/x)=(1/36)
20/x =1/36
x=36*20
x=720
(B) can alone do in 720/6 =120 days
Q. 70 A person sells a watch at a profit of 26%. If he had bought it at 20% less and sold for ₹81.60 less, he would have gained 32%. What is the original cost price (in ₹) of the watch?
(A) 400
(B) 480
(C) 450
(D) 360
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
Let the cost price =x
then selling price=1.26x
Given that if he purchased for 20% less then cost price will be 0.8x
Selling price is 81.6 less and so new selling price=1.26x-81.6
given profit percent=32
Therefore 1.32(0.8x)=1.26x-81.6
1.056x=1.26x-81.6
0.204x=81.6
x=81.6/0.204
x=400
Q. 71 Let x be the greatest number such that when 12085, 16914 and 13841 are divided by it, the remainder in each case is same. The sum of digits of x is:
(A) 14
(B) 19
(C) 13
(D) 16
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
As in this case each number leaves the same remainder we have to find the HCF of differences of the three numbers i.e 13841-12085=1756
16914-13841=3073
16914-12085=4829
HCF of these three numbers is 439
sum=4+3+9=16

(A) ₹13125
(B) ₹11235
(C) ₹12153
(D) ₹11253
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
I=PTR/100
2541=P*(11/2)*(6)/100
P=(2541*200)/(66)
P=Rs 7700
I=PTR/100
I=7700*(17/3)*(57/7)/100
I=(7700*17*57)/(3*7*100)
I=RS 3553
A=P+I
A=7700+3553
A=11253
