Modals

easy2004FIA Assistant Director Paper 2004
EnglishFIA

They agreed that the election ------------- be held at an early date.

A
Should
B
Would
C
Shall
D
Could
Explanation and memory cue

The modal verb 'would' is appropriate here because it expresses a future action that was agreed upon by the parties. In the sentence 'They agreed that the election ------------- be held at an early date,' 'would' conveys the idea of a future event decided in the past. While 'should' can sometimes be used to express expectation or obligation, it is less suitable for indicating a future event agreed upon. 'Shall' is more formal and less common in this context, and 'could' implies possibility rather than certainty. Therefore, 'would' fits best to express the agreed future event.

A

B

Explanation and memory cue

The verb 'disappear' is commonly followed by the preposition 'from' to indicate the place or state from which something ceases to be visible or present. In the phrase 'The courageous man never disappears from success,' the preposition 'from' correctly conveys that the man does not vanish or fade away due to success. Other prepositions like 'about,' 'of,' or 'over' do not fit idiomatically in this context.

Bills/Discount

medium2004FIA Assistant Director Paper 2004
MathematicsFIA

The true discount on a bill of Rs. 540 is Rs. 90. The banker's discount is:

A
Rs. 72
B
Rs. 108
C
Rs. 125
D
Rs. 150
Explanation and memory cue

The banker's discount (BD) is calculated using the formula BD = True Discount (TD) × (Face Value / (Face Value - TD)). Here, TD = 90 and Face Value = 540. So, BD = 90 × (540 / (540 - 90)) = 90 × (540 / 450) = 90 × 1.2 = 108. Hence, option B is correct.

Percentage

MathematicsFIA

A's income is 25% more than B's income. What is B's income in terms of A's income?

A
75%
B
80%
C
90%
D
96%
Explanation and memory cue

If A's income is 25% more than B's income, then A = 1.25 × B. To express B's income in terms of A's income, rearrange the equation: B = A ÷ 1.25 = 0.8 × A. This means B's income is 80% of A's income. Therefore, the correct answer is option B (80%).
