English paper was same as previous paper.

Ans : 13
[ Assume there are x participants in the race.In a round race,no: of participants in front of a person wil b x-1 an that behind him wil b x-1. i.e, 1/3(x-1) + 3/4(x-1) = x ; solving x = 13 ]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.) There are two trains. One from New York to Washington and second from Washington to New York. The total journey to a destination takes 5 hours. A train from New York to Washington leaves on hour at every hour The train from Washington to New York leaves an hour and on half an hour.

A. U
B. V
C. W
D. Y

A. T is not chosen
B. Y is not chosen
C. U is chosen
D. W is chosen
