(b) A side of one of the squares is lost in each step From a square; the lower side is lost in first step, the upper side is lost in second step, the right side is lost in third step and lastly the left side is lost In
figure (b) however, the left side is lost before the upper side
(d) One of the squares changes into a circle in each subsequent step and once all the squares have changed into circles, they again start changing into squares on by one In figure (d) all the figures should be circle i.e there should be four concentric circles and no squares
(d) In each subsequent figure respectively 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 curves are added in a set order In figure (d) there should be three curves, on the upper right line segment instead of lower right
(@) One arrow is added in a comer in clockwise direction each time and also the direction of all the arrows changes each time In figure (a) the direction of arrows should be opposite
(®) In each step the figure rotates 45° clockwise direction and half a leaf is added in clockwise direction In figure (b) however, the half part of a new leaf is not added
(©) All the designs move in clockwise direction in each subsequent figure and in the first step a new design appears in the upper right sector and in the next step a new design appears in the lower left sector
(2) First the arrow interchanges its position with that of the signs placed on its right in three subsequent steps Its then followed by the pin As any two signs interchange places both of them get inverted (b) The shaded part moves clockwise one and two steps alternately (d) Similar igure appears alternately and each time it appears, itrotates
90° clockwise
{e) Inone step, the middle design on the left side and the upper and lower symbols on the right side move one step clockwise In the next step, the other three designs move one step anticlockwise, (@) Only course of action | is the suitable for follow up of the problem that has arisen Course of action Il is mismatched (b) To complete against a challenge, the first step must be to find out
where the lacking is So, only course of action II follows
Trang 23[Candidate] CRITERIA Swati [Anupam IG = Not Given 16 (b) Rajendra Mathur does not satisfy criterion at (v) Therefore, he cannot be selected 7 (b) Manoj Bhojwani does not satisfy criterion at (i) Therefore he cannot be selected
18 (a) Ayan Chatterji satisfies all the criteria Therefore, he can be selected 49 (c) No information is given against criterion (v) in case of Swati Singh
Therefore, our required answer would be “Data inadequate”
20 (d) Anupam Saikia satisfies all the criteria except at (ji) but he does satisfy (A) instead Therefore, his case should be referred to Senior Merchandiser
24 (e) From statement |
[shm] rtm opp > lovely tiny [Pa] Ki [im] bmp ¬ great national [parK|
Therefore, code for “tiny” may be either “rtm” or “opn" From statements Ì and
Em BI opn — [national great] lovely
Clearly code for tiny is rtm 22 (e) From statement | C>B>D>A, No result From statement Il B>A, and A>E, No result From both the statements C>B>D>A>E
Clearly, Eis the shortest
23 (a) From statement | it is clear that P is brother of D and D has two children, a son (.e A) and a daughter (i.e F) It means P is uncle of A So, statement | alone is sufficient
24 (c) From statement!

Weight of = th of a box=5 kg So, total weight of a box = 20 kg
Hence, weight of ten boxes = 20 x 10 = 200 kg
Trang 24“= Ô.Ô.Ô 28 (c) 28 () 27 (e) 28 (b) 29 (b) From statement I! Weight of a box = 20 kg
So, weight of 10 boxes = 20 x 10 = 200 kg
From statement | we can conclude the total amount of mango
exported from India From statement Il also, we can conclude that total amount of mango exported from India is 12.5% of 1.9 milion tons So, the answer to the given question can be derived from either statement | alone or statement Il alone
Both, the premises are aligned Thus,
All clocks are fans
_
‘Some fans are walls Possible Venn-diagrams But, A + | => No conclusion =>
However, both the conclusions Gi | Koad
from complementary pair '
Therefore either | or Il follows SS
Both the premises are aligned All shawls are carpets
a
No carpet is pullover We know that,
A+ E = E type conclusion
Therefore, our derived conclusion
would be: Possible Venn-diagrams “No shaw is pullover”
Therefore, conclusion I! follows
Conclusion | is the conversion of the second premise Both the premises are aligned No scientist is teacher _ Some teachers are researchers We know that,
E + 1 =O, type conclusion
Thus, our derived conclusion would be “Some researchers are not scientists.”
We can align the premises by changing their order Thus, Some dusters are tables
a
All tables are cars

On the basis of given information and conclusions and sub- conclusions drawn from them we can draw the following table:
Only argument I! seems to be strong Officers are paid duly for the jobs they do So they must do it honestly
‘Only argument I! holds strong Delinking jobs with degrees will diminish the need for higher education as many of them pursue such education for jobs
In a developing country, a policy cannot be followed merely on
pretext that it is pursued in the western countries So, argument |
does not hold Also putting telephone services in private hands may
even bring out greater efficiency So, argument II is also vague
The autonomous status of the Doordarshan will be a step towards giving itindependence for an impartial coverage Autonomous status does not mean that the coverage will be decided by a few So, only argument I holds strong
The control of pollution, on one hand, seems to be impossible because of the ever growing needs and disconcem of the people but, on the other hand, the control is possible by a joint effort So, either of the arguments will hold strong
