Many people tried to explore the land but could not survive the dangers. David Livingstone is among those brave few who not only explored part of Africa but also lived among the tribals bringing them near to social milieu.

Livingstone was born in Scotland and was educated to become a doctor and a priest. His exploration started at the beginning of the year 1852. He explored an unknown river in Western Luanda. However, he was reduced to a skeleton during four years of travelling.

He discovered the origin of the River Nile in 1866. He again suffered many discomforts. He became too sick and could not even walk.

36. (A) From I : Q is lighter than only T
Þ is the heaviest.
From II : We don’t know about Q.
37. (E) The final answer can come only when you start with II and continue with I.
38. (D) I is not sufficient because percentage terms do not lead us anywhere. II can only give us Nitesh’s rank from the bottom.
39. (E) From I : X is a male.
Combining this with II, we get

Hence, X is the husband of Y.
40. (B) In I, ‘at least’ leads us nowhere. In II, however, we know the date and can therefore find out the day.
