meeting – e For have – a” Each number is stands for total number of words square – like “bacteria – number of words = = 8^2 – = 64 - = 63 adjourned - number of words = = 9^2 – = 81 – =80” c) d) b) a) e) Direction (6-10): The logic for all the above code is: There is count of total letter in the word is If it is odd number multiply with (are – ×3 =09) If it is even number multiply with (must – × = 08) And rest of the word include two letter and one symbol and can be anything c) e) d) a) 10 b) Direction (11 to 15): The logic for all the above code is: The letter denotes second letter of each word + Like “From” – Second letter “R” + = U The number denotes the alphabet number of Third letter (1-26) Like “The” – “E”- 05 And rest of the one symbol and can be anything 11 e) 12.a) 13.c) 14.b) 15 d) Directions (Q 16-20): The logic for all the above code is: The letter denotes If the last letter of the word is vowel +1 Like “the” – “e + 1” = F If the last letter of the word is consonant +2 Like “for” – “r+2” = T The number denotes the total number of words multiply with next number Like “Which” – Number of words is = × = 30 Like “Construct” – Number of words is = × 10 = 90 And rest of the one symbol can be anything 16) c) 17) e) 18) d) 19) b) 20) a) yoursmahboob.wordpress.com BASE INSTITUTE – NAMAKKAL | www.ibpsguide.com yoursmahboob.wordpress.com1234455gfgfgf

unstoppable momentum b) The State amendment to the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, seeks to exempt jallikattu from the purview of the law c) With the implacable mass movement demanding a legal Explanation to overcome the judicial ban on jallikattu on the one side, and related litigation pending in the Supreme Court on the other, there was little that the Union government could have done on its own d) For the Centre to bring in an amendment would have incurred the wrath of the Supreme Court, which stayed a January 2016 notification and will rule on its validity soon e) Youths

tide of inward-looking nationalism d) His address at the opening plenary before captains of business and industry could not have been a more robust and reassuring defence of the current world economic order, perceived to be at its most fragile in the post-War era with the election of Donald Trump as U.S President e) Foremost is Mr Xi’s caution against attempts to prevent the free flow of goods, services, capital and people as running counter to the historical trend Answer: b) Explanation: Option b) is the one which is not part of the logical paragraph as we see that other options are talking

allotted the “bicycle” symbol to the Akhilesh faction of the Samajwadi Party as the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister enjoyed majority in the party’s organisational and legislative structures e) Mr Mulayam

economy from faster spending of the approved public expenditure c) With a February-end Budget, transmission of funds, and thereby meaningful implementation, seldom starts before June, by which time the monsoon sets in d) This leaves just about two quarters to spend a whole year’s funding for projects involving physical infrastructure capacity-creation, for instance e) Noting that there is “nothing concrete” to back the notion that presentation of the annual budget can sway the minds of people during the State Assembly polls, the Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a petition seeking the postponement of the Central budget till the Assembly elections in five States Answer: e) Explanation: Option e) is the one which is not part of the logical paragraph as we see that other options are talking about the budgeting in elections But option e) is defining about the budget before polling 58) a) Everybody loves a good protest — an orderly, self-limiting protest at iconic landmarks

jobless during this year and the next, is in line with its own previous estimates d) In any case, with the growth in global gross domestic product registering a six-year low in 2016, expectations of generation of new jobs were always going to be low e) But a no-less-serious concern in the ‘World Employment and Social Outlook 2017’ pertains to the stubborn challenge of reducing the extent of vulnerability that currently affects about 42 per cent of the total working population Answer: a) Explanation: Option a) is the one which is not part of the logical paragraph as we see that other
