उत्तर

W

Explanation:

First we will arrange the given information as  shown below:   
has 2 chessboards + 1 record player   
 Cost = 2 × 500 + 1 × 2000   
= 3000 (at the beginning)   
After transaction he has only 1 cycle and 1 chessboard   
 Total Cost = 1000 + 500 = 1500   
So, loss of X = 1500   
Z has 1 cycle + 1 walkman   
 Cost = 1000 + 700 = 1700     (at the beginning)   
After transaction he has only 1 bat and 1 chessboard and 1  camera 
 Total cost = 1 bat + 1 chessboard + 1 camera = 700 + 500  + 1500 = 2700   
 Profit = 1000   
Y has 3 bats   
∴ Total cost = 3 × 700 = 2100 (at the beginning)   
After transaction he has only 1 record player and 1 bat   
 Total cost = 2000 + 700 = 2700   
 Profit of Y = 600   
W has 2 cameras   
Cost = 5000 (at the beginning)   
After transaction he has only 1 bat, 1 camera and 1 walkman   
 Total cost = 1 bat + 1 camera + 1 Walkman   
= 700 + 3500 + 700 = 4900   
 Loss = 100 

W had the costliest item.

Direction : Read the following passage and answer the question that follows:

We found in both India and Pakistan that Partition was difficult to confront and talk about. In order to talk about it, we would have to acknowledge that both sides were equally guilty, in case you can use that word. For instance, it wasn’t like the Holocaust, where you had the Jews and the Nazis. Of course, you had a range of ordinary people who allowed the violence against the Jews or benefited from it – like companies that used concentration camp labour. Unlike the Holocaust, in Partition, both sides were guilty of violence. Both sides were aggressors and victims. Often, there were histories of violence within families, which they silenced. There could have been history of complicity in the violence they subjected their own women to. Or you might have known about somebody who was attacked, but you were too helpless to stop it – and you, therefore, let that history go. Or you might have participated in violence yourself.

Gayatri: Maharana Pratap was courageous no doubt, but his forces lost to the forces of Emperor Akbar the Great in the Battle of Haldighati. The king of a region such as Mewar and the Emperor of most of the Indian sub-continent at the time cannot both be eligible for the title, ‘the Great’, given the historical context.

Ranjini: Pratap never surrendered to Akbar in his lifetime despite Akbar sending several envoys to his great rival with the offer of making him a Mughal ally. Pratap’s defiance gave other Rajput rulers the courage to refuse alliance with Akbar. The victory in the Battle of Haldighati was a hollow victory for Akbar at best. Pratap’s forces were outnumbered by Akbar’s by far in the battle, but Pratap escaped with his life and subsequently recovered much of the territory lost in the battle. Maharana Pratap the Great received recognition of his greatness from none other than Emperor Akbar the Great. The latter is known to have wept on hearing the news of his rival’s death.

The patterns of reasoning in Gayatri’s argument closely resembles the pattern of reasoning in all of the following except?
