So,folks here are the correct answers

Para Jumbles
The correct answer is 4.

F is linked with A and C. Hence order is ACF. And 'he' obviously refers to Dil and not the sadhu as the sadhu would not look from the corner of his eye and ask what is going on (in the context of the story)


Quantitative Ability
The correct answer is 5.

Total score in the first six tests = 6×55 = 330
Total score in the last six tests = 6×57 = 342
Score in all seven tests = total score in the last six tests + score in the 1st test = 342 + 50 = 392
Score in the 7th test = total score in all 7 tests - total score in first 6 tests = 392 -330 = 62.
