Section 1

English Language

Read the passage given below and answer the next six questions on the basis of what is stated or
implied in it:
Cities are getting hotter, and not only because the planet is warming. Concrete, asphalt and glass absorb
sunlight during the day and release it slowly at night, so a crowded city centre can stay several degrees
warmer than the fields around it. Scientists call this the urban heat island effect. Its costs are real: higher
electricity bills as air conditioners run longer, more heat-related illness among outdoor workers and the
elderly, and poorer air quality on still summer evenings.
The most effective remedy is also one of the oldest. A large tree shades the ground beneath it and, by
releasing water vapour through its leaves, cools the air around it, much as sweat cools the human body.
Streets lined with mature trees can be noticeably cooler at midday than bare streets a few hundred metres
away. Yet trees are often the first casualties of road-widening and construction, and the saplings planted
in their place take decades to offer the same shade.
Planners are therefore turning to a mix of measures: protecting old trees, painting roofs in light colours
that reflect sunlight, and creating small parks and water bodies that act as cooling pockets. None of these
is costly by itself. What they demand is patience, and a willingness to treat shade as public infrastructure,
as essential to a city as its roads and drains.

1. Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?
(A) Air conditioners are the best answer to rising city temperatures
(B) Cities can reduce extra heat through simple, patient steps such as protecting trees
(C) New saplings can quickly replace old trees lost to construction
(D) Global warming is the only reason why cities are becoming hotter

2. According to the passage, why does a crowded city centre stay warmer at night?
(A) Built surfaces release the heat they stored during the day slowly
(B) The fields around the city trap cold air
(C) Trees release warm water vapour at night
(D) Air conditioners are switched off after sunset

3. The author compares the cooling effect of a tree to:
(A) the working of an air conditioner
(B) the flow of water in a city drain
(C) the way sweat cools the human body
(D) the shade of a light-coloured roof

4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cost of the urban heat island effect?
(A) Poorer air quality on still evenings
(B) More heat-related illness among the elderly
(C) Higher electricity bills
(D) Damage to crops in the fields near the city

5. Why are newly planted saplings not an immediate answer to the problem?
(A) They need far more water than old trees
(B) They are cut down during road-widening
(C) They release too little water vapour in summer
(D) They take decades to give the shade of a mature tree

Numerical and Data Analysis
41. (B) Let the son be S; father = 56 − S. Then 52 − S = 3(S − 4), so 4S = 64 and S = 16, father = 40. Check: 4 years
ago, 36 = 3 × 12.
42. (B) Tea or coffee = 35 + 30 − 10 = 55. Neither = 60 − 55 = 5.
43. (D) The angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference, so the angle at P = 110°/2 = 55°.
44. (C) 2x + 3x + 4x = 180°, so x = 20° and the largest angle is 4 × 20° = 80°.
45. (B) 2(15 + b) = 46 gives b = 8 cm. Area = 15 × 8 = 120 cm².
46. (B) Area = πr² = (22/7) × 14 × 14 = 616 cm². (88 cm is the circumference.)
47. (C) 1.20 × 0.75 = 0.90, so the number falls by 10%.
48. (D) Discount = 15% of 1200 = 180. Selling price = 1200 − 180 = ₹1,020.
49. (A) 0.9 × CP = 450, so CP = 500. For a 10% gain, SP = 1.1 × 500 = ₹550.
50. (D) Make B equal: A : B = 8 : 12 and B : C = 12 : 15, so A : B : C = 8 : 12 : 15.
51. (C) Milk = 30 L, water = 10 L. For 3 : 2, water must be 20 L, so add 10 litres.
52. (A) Total work = 12 × 18 = 216 man-days. 216/18 = 12 days.
53. (A) Net filling per minute = 1/20 − 1/30 = 1/60, so the tank fills in 60 minutes.
54. (B) For equal distances, average speed = 2xy/(x + y) = 2 × 60 × 40/100 = 48 km/h.
55. (B) Speed of stream = (downstream − upstream)/2 = (15 − 9)/2 = 3 km/h.
56. (B) To double, SI = P. So P = P × R × 10/100, giving R = 10%.
57. (A) Amount = 8000 × 1.05 × 1.05 = 8820, so CI = ₹820.
58. (A) LCM of 6, 8 and 12 is 24, so the number is 24 + 3 = 27. (51 also works but is not the smallest.)
59. (D) 84 = 2²·3·7 and 126 = 2·3²·7, so HCF = 2·3·7 = 42. (252 is the LCM.)
60. (A) 0.4 × 0.25 = 0.1, and 0.1 ÷ 0.05 = 2.
61. (C) Sum = 20 × 21/2 = 210, so the average is 210/20 = 10.5.

AIMA UGAT Sample Paper 2027 · admission./ugat-sample-papers/ Page 15 of 17

62. (D) (x + 1/x)² = x² + 2 + 1/x², so x² + 1/x² = 25 − 2 = 23.
63. (A) The pairs (1,6), (2,5), (3,4), (4,3), (5,2), (6,1) give 7: 6 out of 36 = 1/6.
64. (D) 50 + 40 + 50 = 140 thousand.
65. (D) Totals: 2021 = 100, 2024 = 60 + 45 + 55 = 160 thousand. Increase = 60/100 × 100 = 60%.
66. (A) Model Y = 40 out of 140 thousand: 40/140 × 100 ≈ 28.6%.
67. (C) (40 + 45 + 50 + 60)/4 = 195/4 = 48.75 thousand.
68. (D) 25% of 60,000 = ₹15,000.
69. (C) Savings − transport = 20% − 10% = 10% of 60,000 = ₹6,000.
70. (D) 15% of 360° = 54°.

Reasoning and Intelligence
71. (D) The terms are 1×2, 2×3, 3×4, 4×5, 5×6, so the next is 6×7 = 42.
72. (C) Each term is double the previous one plus 1: 95 × 2 + 1 = 191.
73. (A) The gaps are 3, 6, 9, 12, so the next gap is 15: 37 + 15 = 52.
74. (C) The letters go back by 2, 3, 4, 5, so the next step is 6: L (12) − 6 = 6 = F.
75. (D) The first letters go forward (A, B, C, D, E) and the second letters go backward (Z, Y, X, W, V).
76. (B) Each letter is replaced by its mirror letter in the alphabet (A↔Z, B↔Y ...): G↔T, O↔L, L↔O, D↔W. So S→H,
I→R, L→O, V→E, E→V, R→I: HROEVI.
77. (D) D + O + G = 4 + 15 + 7 = 26.
78. (B) 'ka' is common to all three, so ka = is. 'ti' is common to the first two (blue), so ti = blue. The remaining code in
the first sentence, mo, means sky.

80. (B) An ophthalmologist treats the eyes; a dermatologist treats the skin.

84. (C) Arun's grandfather's only son is Arun's father. His daughter is Arun's sister.

law.
86. (B) Facing south, 90° clockwise brings him to west. Turning 135° anticlockwise from west: 90° gives south and 45°
more gives south-east.
87. (B) East 10 m, north 5 m, then west 10 m cancels the eastward walk, so she is 5 m north of the start.
88. (A) Total = 9 + 21 − 1 = 29.
89. (C) 2026 is not a leap year, so it has 365 days = 52 weeks + 1 day. The day moves forward by one: Friday.
90. (C) Angle = |30H − 5.5M| = |90 − 165| = 75°.
91. (C) The rule is a² + b²: 9 + 16 = 25, 36 + 64 = 100, so 25 + 144 = 169.
92. (C) All doctors are inside 'graduates', which has no overlap with 'illiterate', so I follows. 'All doctors are graduates'
also gives 'some graduates are doctors', so II follows.
93. (A) The cats that are dogs are also rats, so I follows. Nothing says every rat is a cat, so II does not follow.
94. (D) In reverse order the 8th letter from the left is the 8th from the end of A–Z: 27 − 8 = 19th letter, S.
95. (D) CONSTITUTION has no letter A, so STATION cannot be formed. NOTION, TUITION and COUNT can.
