Ques 29 General Aptitude

""His life was divided between the books, his friends, and long walks. A solitary man, he worked at all hours without much method, and probably courted his fatal illness in this way. To his own name there is not much to show; but such was his liberality that he was continually helping others, and fruits of his erudition are widely scattered, and have gone to increase many a comparative stranger's reputation.""
(From E.V. Lucas's ""A Funeral"")

Ques 32 General Aptitude

A business person buys potatoes of two different varieties P and Q, mixes them in a certain ratio and sells them at 192 per kg.
The cost of the variety P is 800 for 5 kg.
The cost of the variety Q is 800 for 4 kg.
