8. In a certain office, 1/3 of the workers are women, ½ of the women are married and 1/3 of the married women have children. If 3/4 th of the men are married and2/3 rd of the married men have children, what part of workers are without children?A. 5/18 B. 4/9 C. 11/18 D17/18 E.17/36Ans: C
Explanation: Let total no. of workers be x
Number of women = x/3 and number of men = 2x/3Women married=1/2 * x/3 = x/6
Women having children = 1/3 *x/6 =x/18
Married Men =3/4 *2x/3 = x/2
Men having Children =2/3 * x/2 = x/3
Workers with children = x/3 + x/18 = 7x/18
Hence, workers without children = x- 7x/18 = 11x/18

II. Sachin is not shorter than Dinesh.
A. i B. iii C. ii D. v E. ivAns: A
Explanation: From statement I, we can conclude that Dinesh, Arun and Sachin are of same height. So, Arun is not taller than Sachin. So, only statement I is sufficient to answer the question.

12. In a certain code language, ‘13’ means ‘stop smoking’ and ‘59’ means ‘injurious habit’. What is the meaning of ‘9’ and ‘5’ respectively in that code?I. ‘157’ means ‘stop bad habit’
II. ‘839’ means ‘smoking is injurious’.
A. ii B. iii C. v D. iv E. i Ans: BExplanation: ‘59’ means ‘injurious habit’ and ‘157’ means ‘stop bad habit’. Hence common letter ‘5’ denotes ‘habit’. Hence ‘9’ is obviously ‘injurious’. So I alone can be sufficient. Also, ‘59’ is ‘injurious habit’ and ‘839’ is ‘smoking is injurious’ from which it can be implied that ‘9’ is ‘injurious’. Hence II alone can also be sufficient. Hence either I or II alone can be sufficient.

Directions (13- 15): In the following problem, there is one question and three statements I, II and III below the question. You have to decide whether the data given in the statements is sufficient to answer the question. Read all the statements carefully and find out the probable pair which can be sufficient to answer the question.

Explanation:
From I, the order is E, B, C or C, B, E.
From II, the order is E, B.
From III, the order is A, D, E.
Combining all the three, we get the order as: A, D, E, B, C.
Clearly, E is sitting in the middle.
Hence all the three statements are required.

14. Four Subjects --- Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology were taught in four consecutive periods of one hour each starting from 8.00 a.m. At what time was the Chemistry period scheduled?I. Mathematics period ended at 10.00 am which was preceded by Biology.

From I and III, it is clearly seen that Mathematics period ended at 10.00 a.m. followed by Chemistry to start at 10.00 a.m.

15. How many sons does Sharma have? I. Saurav and Aditya are brothers of Sonali.II. Ayesha is sister of Sharmila and Aditya.

Directions (Questions 16-20): The following table shows the number of new employees added to different categories of employees in a company and also the no of employees from these categories who left the company ever since the foundation of the company in 1995.


16. During the period of 1995 and 2000, the total no of operators who left the company is what percent of the total number of Operators who joined the company?A. 19% B. 21% C. 27% D. 29% E. 32% Ans: DExplanation: Total no. of operators who left the company during 1996 to 2000
= (104 + 120 + 100 + 112 + 144) = 580.
Total No. of Operators who joined the company during 1996 to 2000
= (880 + 256 + 240 + 208 + 192 + 248) = 2024.
Hence, required Percentage = (580/2024 * 100) = 28.66% = 29%

17. For which of the following categories the percentage increase in the number of employees working in the company from 1996 to 2000 was maximum?A. Managers B. Technicians C. Operators D. AccountantsE. Peons.
Ans: A
Explanation:
No. of managers in 1995 = 760
No. of managers by 2000 = (760 + 280 + 179 + 145 + 160 + 193) – (120 + 92 + 88 + 72 + 96) = 1252.
Hence, percentage of increase = (1262-760)/760 * 100 = 64.74%Similarly we can calculate for the rest of employees.

18. What is the difference between total number of Technicians added to the company and total number of Accountants added to the company during the year 1996 to 2000 at the maximum?A. 128 B. 112 C. 96 D. 88 E. 72Ans: D
Explanation: (272 + 240 + 236 + 256 + 288) – (200 + 224 + 248 + 272 + 260) = 88

19. What was the total no. of peons working in the company in the year 1999?A. 1312 B. 1192 C.1088 D.968 E.908Ans: B
Explanation: (820 + 184 + 152 + 196 + 224) – (96 + 88 + 80 + 120) = 1192

20. What is the pooled average of all employees in the year 1997?A. 1325 B. 1285 C. 1265 D. 1235 E. 1195Ans: E
Explanation:
Managers: (760 + 280 + 179) – (120 + 92) = 1007
Technicians: (1200 + 272 + 240) – (120 + 128) = 1464
Operators: (880 +256 +240) – (104 + 120) = 1152
Accountants: (1160 +200 +224) – (100 + 104) = 1380
Peons: (820 + 184 + 152) – (96 + 88) = 972
Hence pooled average of 5 categories = (1007 + 1464 + 1152 + 1380 + 972)/5 = 1195

They compete for resource of the organization, for example finance to expand their own departments, for career advancement and for power to control the activities of others. In pursuit of these aims, grouped are formed and sectional interests emerge. As a result, policy decisions may serve the ends of political and career systems rather than those of the concern.

Many senior managers had little knowledge of technicality and possibilities of new developments and electronics. Some felt that close cooperation with the experts in an organic system would reveal their ignorance and show their experience was now redundant.

Verbal Ability Test (40 Questions in 35 minutes)



Directions for Questions 1-5: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.



It all started at the beginning of fifth grade. At first, Carmen wasn’t really sure what was happening. In class, she had to squint to see the blackboard clearly. She had to do the same thing when she read street signs, or when she watched a movie. As the fuzziness got worse, she became more and more worried. It was important for her to see the notes and homework assignments the teacher put on the board.



It wasn’t long before Carmen found herself squinting all the time, but she didn’t want anyone to know that she was having a problem seeing. In class, she asked for a desk that was closer to the blackboard. One day, her teacher said, "Carmen, are you all right? I’ve noticed you squinting a lot. Are you having trouble seeing the board?"



Carmen shook her head. "I’m fine, Mrs. Cruz," she said, but she knew she couldn’t pretend much longer.



At home, she had to sit closer and closer to the television in order to see the picture. Her mother noticed her squinting as she watched her favorite shows, and she began to get suspicious.



"Tomorrow I’m calling the eye doctor to set up an appointment for you," she said firmly. Carmen protested, but her mother’s mind was made up.



Three days later, Carmen had new glasses and instructions from her doctor to wear them all the time. Carmen frowned in the car the whole way home. "All of the kids at school will think I’m a nerd," she said. Her mother smiled and shook her head. "You look just as beautiful with those glasses on as you do without them," she said. But Carmen didn’t believe her. The next day, Carmen kept the glasses in her pocket as she walked into the schoolyard. She avoided her friends and stood alone, feeling miserable. Suddenly, she heard her friend Theresa shout. Carmen ran over to the other girls. "What’s wrong?" she asked. "My silver ring is gone!" Theresa cried. "My sister sent it to me from California. It’s very special and I can’t lose it!"

Carmen could tell that Theresa was very upset. They all looked for the ring in the grassy area of the playground.



Carmen realized that she could search better if she could see better. She took the glasses out of her pocket and put them on. The objects and people around her came into sharp focus. She caught her breath. Everything looked so different! So clear! She looked down at the ground and a glimmer of silver caught her eye. It was the ring. "Here it is," she shouted. "I’ve found it!" She handed it to Theresa, and Theresa slipped the ring back on her finger.



"Thanks Carmen," she said. "I never thought we'd find it." She paused. "Hey, I didn’t know you wore glasses. They look great!" Carmen had forgotten that she was wearing the new glasses. "Thanks," she replied shyly. As they walked back toward the school building, two more girls from her class complimented her glasses. Carmen smiled. "Maybe wearing glasses won’t be so bad after all," she thought.

Directions for Questions 6-10: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.

Directions for Questions 1-5: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.



Much of the information we have today about chimpanzees comes from the groundbreaking, long-term research of the great conservationist, Jane Goodall.



Jane Goodall was born in London, England, on April 3, 1934. On her second birthday , her father gave her a toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. Jubilee was named after a baby chimp in the London Zoo, and seemed to foretell the course Jane’s life would take. To this day, Jubilee sits in a chair in Jane’s London home. From an early age, Jane was fascinated by animals and animal stories. By the age of 10, she was talking about going to Africa to live among the animals there. At the time, in the early 1940s, this was a radical idea because women did not go to Africa by themselves.



As a young woman, Jane finished school in London, attended secretarial school, and then worked for a documentary filmmaker for a while. When a school friend invited her to visit Kenya, she worked as a waitress until she had earned the fare to travel there by boat. She was 23 years old.



Once in Kenya, she met Dr. Louis Leakey, a famous paleontologist and anthropologist. He was impressed with her thorough knowledge of Africa and its wildlife, and hired her to assist him and his wife on a fossil-hunting expedition to Olduvai Gorge. Dr. Leakey soon realized that Jane was the perfect person to complete a study he had been planning for some time. She expressed her interest in the idea of studying animals by living in the wild with them, rather than studying dead animals through paleontology.



Dr. Leakey and Jane began planning a study of a group of chimpanzees who were living on the shores of Lake Tanganyika in Kenya. At first, the British authorities would not approve their plan. At the time, they thought it was too dangerous for a woman to live in the wilds of Africa alone. But Jane’s mother, Vanne, agreed to join her so that she would not be alone. Finally, the authorities gave Jane the clearance she needed in order to go to Africa and begin her study



In July of 1960, Jane and her mother arrived at Gombe National Park in what was then called Tanganyika and is now called Tanzania. Jane faced many challenges as she began her work. The chimpanzees did not accept her right away, and it took months for them to get used to her presence in their territory. But she was very patient and remained focused on her goal. Little by little, she was able to enter their world.



At first, she was able to watch the chimpanzees only from a great distance, using binoculars. As time passed, she was able to move her observation point closer to them while still using camouflage. Eventually, she was able to sit among them, touching, patting, and even feeding them. It was an amazing accomplishment for Jane, and a breakthrough in the study of animals in the wild. Jane named all of the chimpanzees that she studied; stating in her journals that she felt they each had a unique personality.



One of the first significant observations that Jane made during the study was that chimpanzees make and use tools, much like humans do, to help them get food. It was previously thought that humans alone used tools. Also thanks to Jane’s research, we now know that chimps eat meat as well as plants and fruits. In many ways, she has helped us to see how chimpanzees and humans are similar. In doing so, she has made us more sympathetic toward these creatures, while helping us to better understand ourselves.



The study started by Jane Goodall in 1960 is now the longest field study of any animal species in their natural habitat. Research continues to this day in Gombe and is conducted by a team of trained Tanzanians.



Jane’s life has included much more than just her study of the chimps in Tanzania. She pursued a graduate degree while still conducting her study, receiving her Ph.D. from Cambridge University in 1965. In 1984, she received the J. Paul Getty Wildlife Conservation Prize for "helping millions of people understand the importance of wildlife conservation to life on this planet." She has been married twice: first to a photographer and then to the director of National Parks. She has one son.



Dr. Jane Goodall is now the world’s most renowned authority on chimpanzees, having studied their behavior for nearly 40 years. She has published many scientific articles, has written two books, and has won numerous awards for her groundbreaking work. The Jane Goodall Institute for Wildlife Research, Education , and Conservation was founded in 1977 in California but moved to the Washington, D.C., area in 1998. Its goal is to take the actions necessary to improve the environment for all living things.



Dr. Goodall now travels extensively, giving lectures, visiting zoos and chimp sanctuaries, and talking to young people involved in environmental education. She is truly a great conservationist and an amazing human being.

Aptitude Questions With Answers for Time & Distance Problems
1)A train covers a distance in 50 min ,if it runs at a speed
of 48kmph on an average.The speed at which the train must run
to reduce the time of journey to 40min will be.
1. Solution::
Time=50/60 hr=5/6hr
Speed=48mph
distance=S*T=48*5/6=40km
time=40/60hr=2/3hr
New speed = 40* 3/2 kmph= 60kmph
2)Vikas can cover a distance in 1hr 24min by covering 2/3 of
the distance at 4 kmph and the rest at 5kmph.the total
distance is?
2. Solution::
Let total distance be S
total time=1hr24min
A to T :: speed=4kmph
diistance=2/3S
T to S :: speed=5km
distance=1-2/3S=1/3S
21/15 hr=2/3 S/4 + 1/3s /5
84=14/3S*3
S=84*3/14*3
= 6km
3)walking at ¾ of his usual speed ,a man is late by 2 ½ hr.
the usual time is.
3. Solution::
Usual speed = S
Usual time = T
Distance = D
New Speed is ¾ S
New time is 4/3 T
4/3 T – T = 5/2
T=15/2 = 7 ½
4)A man covers a distance on scooter .had he moved 3kmph
faster he would have taken 40 min less. If he had moved
2kmph slower he would have taken 40min more.the distance is.
4.Solution::
Let distance = x m
Usual rate = y kmph
x/y – x/y+3 = 40/60 hr
2y(y+3) = 9x ————–1
x/y-2 – x/y = 40/60 hr y(y-2) = 3x —————–2
divide 1 & 2 equations
by solving we get x = 40
5)Excluding stoppages,the speed of the bus is 54kmph and
including stoppages,it is 45kmph.for how many min does the bus
stop per hr.
5.Solution::
Due to stoppages,it covers 9km less.
time taken to cover 9 km is [9/54 *60] min = 10min
6)Two boys starting from the same place walk at a rate of
5kmph and 5.5kmph respectively.wht time will they take to be
8.5km apart, if they walk in the same direction
6.Solution::
The relative speed of the boys = 5.5kmph – 5kmph = 0.5 kmph
Distance between them is 8.5 km
Time= 8.5km / 0.5 kmph = 17 hrs
7)2 trains starting at the same time from 2 stations 200km
apart and going in opposite direction cross each other ata
distance of 110km from one of the stations.what is the ratio of
their speeds.
7. Solution::
In same time ,they cover 110km & 90 km respectively
so ratio of their speed =110:90 = 11:9
8)Two trains start from A & B and travel towards each other at
speed of 50kmph and 60kmph resp. At the time of the meeting the
second train has traveled 120km more than the first.the distance
between them.8. Solution::
Let the distance traveled by the first train be x km
then distance covered by the second train is x + 120km
x/50 = x+120 / 60
x= 600
so the distance between A & B is x + x + 120 = 1320 km
9)A thief steals a ca r at 2.30pm and drives it at 60kmph.the
theft is discovered at 3pm and the owner sets off in another car
at 75kmph when will he overtake the thief
9. Solution::
Let the thief is overtaken x hrs after 2.30pm
distance covered by the thief in x hrs = distance covered by
the owner in x-1/2 hr
60x = 75 ( x- ½)
x= 5/2 hr
thief is overtaken at 2.30 pm + 2 ½ hr = 5 pm
10)In covering distance,the speed of A & B are in the ratio
of 3:4.A takes 30min more than B to reach the destion.The time
taken by A to reach the destinstion is.
10. Solution::
Ratio of speed = 3:4
Ratio of time = 4:3
let A takes 4x hrs,B takes 3x hrs
then 4x-3x = 30/60 hr
x = ½ hr
Time taken by A to reach the destination is 4x = 4 * ½ = 2 hr

Answers :
1. Solution::
Time=50/60 hr=5/6hr
Speed=48mph
distance=S*T=48*5/6=40km
time=40/60hr=2/3hr
New speed = 40* 3/2 kmph= 60kmph
2. Solution::
Let total distance be S
total time=1hr24min
A to T :: speed=4kmph
diistance=2/3S
T to S :: speed=5km
distance=1-2/3S=1/3S
21/15 hr=2/3 S/4 + 1/3s /5
84=14/3S*3
S=84*3/14*3
= 6km
3. Solution::
Usual speed = S
Usual time = T
Distance = D
New Speed is ¾ S
New time is 4/3 T
4/3 T – T = 5/2
T=15/2 = 7 ½
4.Solution::
Let distance = x m
Usual rate = y kmph
x/y – x/y+3 = 40/60 hr
2y(y+3) = 9x ————–1
x/y-2 – x/y = 40/60 hr y(y-2) = 3x —————–2
divide 1 & 2 equations
by solving we get x = 40
5.Solution::
Due to stoppages,it covers 9km less.
time taken to cover 9 km is [9/54 *60] min = 10min
6.Solution::
The relative speed of the boys = 5.5kmph – 5kmph = 0.5 kmph
Distance between them is 8.5 km
Time= 8.5km / 0.5 kmph = 17 hrs
7. Solution::
In same time ,they cover 110km & 90 km respectively
so ratio of their speed =110:90 = 11:9
8. Solution::
Let the distance traveled by the first train be x km
then distance covered by the second train is x + 120km
x/50 = x+120 / 60
x= 600
so the distance between A & B is x + x + 120 = 1320 km
9. Solution::
Let the thief is overtaken x hrs after 2.30pm
distance covered by the thief in x hrs = distance covered by
the owner in x-1/2 hr
60x = 75 ( x- ½)
x= 5/2 hr
thief is overtaken at 2.30 pm + 2 ½ hr = 5 pm
10. Solution::
Ratio of speed = 3:4
Ratio of time = 4:3
let A takes 4x hrs,B takes 3x hrs
then 4x-3x = 30/60 hr
x = ½ hr
Time taken by A to reach the destination is 4x = 4 * ½ = 2 hr

Answer : 127
2. A fast typist can type some matter in 2 hours and a slow typist can type the same in 3 hours. If both
type combinely, in how much time will they finish?
Answer : 1 hr 12 min
Explanation : The fast typist's work done in 1 hr = 1/2
The slow typist's work done in 1 hr = 1/3
If they work combinely, work done in 1 hr = 1/2+1/3 = 5/6
So, the work will be completed in 6/5 hours. i.e., 1+1/5 hours = 1hr 12 min
3. Gavaskar's average in his first 50 innings was 50. After the 51st innings, his average was 51. How
many runs did he score in his 51st innings. (supposing that he lost his wicket in his 51st innings)
Answer : 101
Explanation : Total score after 50 innings = 50*50 = 2500
Total score after 51 innings = 51*51 = 2601
So, runs made in the 51st innings = 2601-2500 = 101
If he had not lost his wicket in his 51st innings, he would have scored an unbeaten 50 in his 51st innings.

7. What is the sum of all numbers between 100 and 1000 which are divisible by 14 ?
Answer : 35392
Explanation : The number closest to 100 which is greater than 100 and divisible by 14 is 112, which is the
first term of the series which has to be summed.
The number closest to 1000 which is less than 1000 and divisible by 14 is 994, which is the last term of
the series.
112 + 126 + .... + 994 = 14(8+9+ ... + 71) = 35392
8. If s(a) denotes square root of a, find the value of s(12+s(12+s(12+ ...... upto infinity.

We can write x = s(12+x). i.e., x^2 = 12 + x. Solving this quadratic equation, we get x = -3 or x=4. Sum
cannot be -ve and hence sum = 4.

1. The diameter of the driving wheel of a bus is 140cm. How many revolutions per minute must the wheel
make in order to keep a speed of 66 kmph?
Ans. 250
Sol. Distance to be covered in 1 min=(66*1000)/60 m=1100m
Circumference of the wheel =(2*22/7*0.70)m=4.4m.
So, Number of revolutions per min=1100/4.4=250.
2. Vivek travelled 1200km by air which formed 2/5 of his trip.One third of the whole trip , he travelled by
car and the rest of the journey he performed by train. The distance travelled by train was ?
Ans.800km
Sol: Let the total trip be x km.
Then 2x/5=1200
x=1200*5/2=3000km
Distance travelled by car =1/3*3000=1000km
Journey by train =[3000-(1200+1000)]=800km.
3. Two trains 200mts and 150mts are running on the parallel rails at this rate of 40km/hr and 45km/hr.In
how much time will they cross each other if they are running in the same direction.
Ans: 252sec
Sol: Relative speed=45-40=5km/hr=25/18 mt/sec
Total distance covered =sum of lengths of trains =350mts.
So, time taken =350*18/25=252sec.
4. From height of 8 mts a ball fell down and each time it bounces half the distance back. What will be the
distance travelled
Ans.: 24
Sol. 8+4+4+2+2+1+1+0.5+0.5+ and etc .. =24
5. If a man walks at the rate of 5kmph, he misses a train by only 7min. However if he walks at the rate of
6 kmph he reaches the station 5 minutes before the arrival of the train. Find the distance covered by him
to reach the station.
Ans:6km.
Sol: Let the required distance be x km.
Difference in the times taken at two speeds=12mins=1/5 hr.
Therefore x/5-x/6=1/5 or 6x-5x=6 or x=6km.
Hence ,the required distance is 6 km
6. Walking 5/6 of its usual speed, a train is 10min late. Find the usual time to cover the journey?
Ans:50 min
Sol: New speed = 5/6 of usual speed
New time = 6/5 of usual time
Therefore, (6/5 of usual time) – usual time = 10min
Therefore Usual time = 50min
7. A train running at 54 kmph takes 20 seconds to pass a platform. Next it takes 12 seconds to pass a
man walking at 6 kmph in the same direction in which the train is going. Find the length of the train and
the length of the platform.
Ans. length of the train=160m
length of the platform=140 m.
Sol: Let the length of the train be x meters and length of the platform be y meters.
Speed of the train relative to man=(54-6) kmph =48 kmph.
=(48*5/18) m/sec =40/3 m/sec.
In passing a man, the train covers its own length with relative speed.
Therefore, length of the train=(Relative speed *Time)
=(40/3 * 12) m =160 m.
Also, speed of the train=(54 * 5/18) m/sec=15 m/sec.
Therefore, x+y/2xy=20 or x+y=300 or y=(300-160 m=140 m.
Therefore, Length of the platform=140 m.
8. A man is standing on a railway bridge which is 180m long. He finds that a train crosses the bridge in
20seconds but himself in 8 seconds. Find the length of the train and its speed.
Ans: length of train=120m
Speed of train=54kmph
Sol: Let the length of the train be x meters
Then, the train covers x meters in 8 seconds and (x + 180) meters in 20 seconds.
Therefore x/8 = (x+180)/20 ó 20x = 8(x+180) ó x = 120
Therefore Length of the train = 120m
Speed of the train = 120/8 m/sec = 15 m/sec =15 * 18/5 kmph = 54kmph

Verbal Ability Test (40 Questions in 35 minutes)

Directions for Questions 1-5: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.

It all started at the beginning of fifth grade. At first, Carmen wasn’t really sure what was happening. In class, she had to squint to see the blackboard clearly. She had to do the same thing when she read street signs, or when she watched a movie. As the fuzziness got worse, she became more and more worried. It was important for her to see the notes and homework assignments the teacher put on the board.

It wasn’t long before Carmen found herself squinting all the time, but she didn’t want anyone to know that she was having a problem seeing. In class, she asked for a desk that was closer to the blackboard. One day, her teacher said, "Carmen, are you all right? I’ve noticed you squinting a lot. Are you having trouble seeing the board?"

Carmen shook her head. "I’m fine, Mrs. Cruz," she said, but she knew she couldn’t pretend much longer.

At home, she had to sit closer and closer to the television in order to see the picture. Her mother noticed her squinting as she watched her favorite shows, and she began to get suspicious.

"Tomorrow I’m calling the eye doctor to set up an appointment for you," she said firmly. Carmen protested, but her mother’s mind was made up.

Three days later, Carmen had new glasses and instructions from her doctor to wear them all the time. Carmen frowned in the car the whole way home. "All of the kids at school will think I’m a nerd," she said. Her mother smiled and shook her head. "You look just as beautiful with those glasses on as you do without them," she said. But Carmen didn’t believe her. The next day, Carmen kept the glasses in her pocket as she walked into the schoolyard. She avoided her friends and stood alone, feeling miserable. Suddenly, she heard her friend Theresa shout. Carmen ran over to the other girls. "What’s wrong?" she asked. "My silver ring is gone!" Theresa cried. "My sister sent it to me from California. It’s very special and I can’t lose it!"
Carmen could tell that Theresa was very upset. They all looked for the ring in the grassy area of the playground.

Carmen realized that she could search better if she could see better. She took the glasses out of her pocket and put them on. The objects and people around her came into sharp focus. She caught her breath. Everything looked so different! So clear! She looked down at the ground and a glimmer of silver caught her eye. It was the ring. "Here it is," she shouted. "I’ve found it!" She handed it to Theresa, and Theresa slipped the ring back on her finger.

"Thanks Carmen," she said. "I never thought we'd find it." She paused. "Hey, I didn’t know you wore glasses. They look great!" Carmen had forgotten that she was wearing the new glasses. "Thanks," she replied shyly. As they walked back toward the school building, two more girls from her class complimented her glasses. Carmen smiled. "Maybe wearing glasses won’t be so bad after all," she thought.

Directions for Questions 6-10: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage.

Primitive man was probably more concerned with fire as a source of warmth and as a means of cooking food than as a source of light. Before he discovered less laborious ways of making fire, he had to preserve it, and whenever he went on a journey he carried a firebrand with him. His discovery that the firebrand, from which the torch may very well have developed, could be used for illumination was probably incidental to the primary purpose of preserving a flame.

Lamps, too, probably developed by accident. Early man may have had his first conception of a lamp while watching a twig or fibre burning in the molten fat dropped from a roasting carcass. All he had to do was to fashion a vessel to contain fat and float a lighted reed in it. Such lamps, which are made of hollowed stones or sea shells, have persisted in identical from up to quite recent times.
