Para Jumbles
Arrange the following sentences to form a coherent paragraph

A. He attracted me by three things: his candid simplicity, his marvelous familiarity with ancient armor, and the restfulness of his company- for he did all the talking.
B. It was in Warwick Castle that I came across the curious stranger whom I am going to talk about.
C. We sat together, and he at once began to say things which interested me.
D. Presently he turned to me and said, just as one might speak of the weather, or any other common matter- "You know about transmigration of souls; do you know about transposition of epochs- and bodies?"
E. For as he talked, he seemed to drift away imperceptibly out of this world and time, and into some remote era and old forgotten country.
F. And exactly as I would speak of my nearest personal friends or enemies, or my most familiar neighbors, he spoke of Sir Bedivere, Sir Bors de Ganis, Sir Launcelot of the Lake, Sir Galahad, and all the other great names of the Table Round.

So,folks here are the correct answers

Para Jumbles
The correct answer is 2.

A tough one…It must start with B. Note that A and C are linked, and CA would be incorrect as "say thing that interested me" cannot start with "candid simplicity", but some idea or words. So AC is better. Now it is easy to conclude that option 2 is correct


Quantitative Ability
The correct answer is 3.

Total Strength = 2160
Total number of international students = 2/3×2160=1440
Total number of female international students = 140
Hence, total number of male international students = 1440 - 140 = 1300
Hence, the question in Choice (3) can be answered.
