Q. Let p, q, r and s be natural numbers such that p – 2016 = q + 2017 = r-2018 = s + 2019

which one of the following is the largest natural number?
(a) P
(b) Q
(c) R
(d) S
Correct Answer: (c) R

Question from UPSC Prelims 2020 CSAT Paper

Explanation :

p-2016=q+2017=r-2018=s+2019

From the given relations, we have p – q = 4033 and r – q = 4035. This implies that r is greater than p and q.

Also, r – s = 4037, which means that r is greater than s.

Thus, we have established that r is the greatest of all the given natural numbers. Therefore, the correct option is (c) R.

Q. The last end of the state is not to dominate men, nor to restrain them by fear; rather it is so to free each man from fear that he may live and act with full security and without injury to himself or his neighbour. The end of the state, I repeat, is not to make rational beings into brute beasts and machines. It is to enable their bodies and their minds to function safely. It is to lead men to live by, and to exercise, a free reason; that they may not waste their strength in hatred, anger and guile, nor act unfairly toward one another.
