(25.) The ratio of marks obtained by Vimmy and Binny is 6:5. If the combined average of their

conducted.
(a.)

150

(b.)

175

(c.)

200

(d.)

250

Ans:

Exp:
Let Vimmys marks be 6x and Binny's is 5x. Therefore, the sum of the marks = 6x + 5x = 11x.
But the sum of the marks is given as 275 = 11x. We get x = 25 therefore, Vimmy marks is 6x =
150 and Binny marks = 5x = 125.
Therefore, the combined average of their marks = (150 + 125) / 2 = 137.5.
If the total mark of the exam is 100 then their combined average of their percentage is 68.75
Therefore, if their combined average of their percentage is 137.5 then the total marks would be
(137.5 / 68.75)*100 = 200.

Reading Comprehension
It is to progress in the human sciences that we must look to undo the evils which
have resulted from knowledge of physical world hastily and superficially acquired by
population unconscious of the changes in themselves that the new knowledge has
imperative. The road to a happier world than any known in the past lies open before
us if bestial and destructive passions can be kept in leash while the necessary

adaptations are made. Fears are inevitable in time, but hopes are equally rational
and far more likely to bear good fruit. We must learn to think rather less of the
dangers to be avoided than of the good that will lie within our grasp if we can
believe in it and let it dominate our thoughts. Science, whatever unpleasant
consequences it may have by the way, is in its very nature a liberator, a liberator of
bondage to physical nature and in time to come, a liberator from the weight of
destructive passions. We are on the threshold of utter disaster or unprecedentedly
glorious achievement. No previous age has been fraught with problems so
momentous; and it is to science that we must look to for a happy future.
