| 4611392782 | 11/18 | 13/18 | Let total number of workers be 900. Then, Number of males = 1/3 * 900 = 300
Now, Married men = ½ * 300 = 150 Married men with children = 1/3 * 150 = 50 Now, Number of Females = 900 – 300 = 600 Number of married women = ¾ * 600 = 450 Number of married women with children = 2/3 of 2/3 of 450 = 200 Total married worker with children = 50 + 200 = 250 Now, Number of workers without children = 900 – 250 = 650 Thus, fraction of workers without children = 650/ 900 = 13/18 (No option is available for the same).

| 4611392857 | D | C | As, three of them – A, C and Doctor prefer rice to chapatti and two of them – B and the Painter prefer chapatti to rice , this means A and C are not doctors while B is not a painter.
Also, Doctor prefers Rice and Painter prefers Chapatti. Further, it is given that the Teacher, D and A are friends to one another but two of these prefer chapatti to rice. This means, Teacher and D would prefer Chapatti as it is already known (in above table) that A prefers Rice. Further, as three of them prefer Rice, so E must prefer Rice. Now as A, C and Doctor prefers rice, E should be the doctor (as the other two aren’t). Also, it is known that painter prefers Chapatti, so the only possibility – D should be the painter. Further, as Teacher also prefers Chapatti – this means B is the Teacher.
From the last statement : The Singer is C’s brother – we get that C is not the singer. This means A is the singer and C is the dancer. Hence, the final table looks like –
Given Answer is D but correct answer is C

| 4611392727 | 1 | 1 and 2 both are errors | The answer given is ‘almost read’ which is correct. It should be ‘read almost half of it’. But this sentence is wrong in itself. There should have been a conjunction either in the beginning of the statement or between the two clauses as there is a cause effect relationship between the two clauses. The sentence should have started with a ‘with the hope to go through the book today, I have read almost half of it’ so there are actually two parts that have errors : part A and part D.
