  1. Directions for Questions 1 to 4: The symbols @, # , $ , % and % are used as illustrated below: 'P@Q' denotes 'P is either smaller than or equal to Q'. 'P#Q' denotes 'P is neither equal nor less than Q'. 'P$Q' denotes 'P is either greater than or equal to Q'. 'P%Q' denotes 'P is neither greater than nor smaller than Q'. 'P&Q' denotes 'P is neither greater than nor equal to Q'. Now in each of the following questions assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the three conclusions 1, 2 and 3 is/are definitely true? 1. 2. 3. Statements : MO/os, D#S, D#V, K$A, K$V, sa Conclusions: (1) Only conclusion 3 follows. (2) Only conclusion 2 follows. (3) Either conclusion 1 or 3 follows. (4) Either conclusion 1 or 3 and 2 follows. (5) None of these. Answer key: 5 Solution: According to the symbols used, the given statements in the question implies Conclusions: 1. J > false 2. D K false 3. J D false No conclusion is true. Statements : Conclusions: (1) Only conclusion 1 is true. (2) Both conclusions 1 and 2 are true. (3) All the conclusions are true. (4) Only conclusion 2 is true. (5) None of these. Answer key: 2 Solution: Conclusions: 1. J < True 2. P > J or J < p • True 3. R False (Here, the relation between P and R is P 2 R. So, P > R may be true but not definitely true. Hence it is considered as false.) Hence, both conclusions 1 and 2 are true. Statements : Conclusions: I.P$H
  2. 4. 5. (1) Only conclusion 1 follows. (2) Both conclusion 1 and 2 follows. (3) Either conclusion 2 or 3 follows. (4) Either conclusion 2 or 3 and conclusion 1 follows. (5) None of the above. Ansvver key: 4 Solution: We will get two sets of single line statements here i.e. G < HSI Conclusions: 1. P 2 H or H s p + True 2. H < L + False 3. False Conclusions 2 and 3 are false. But here the variables are same (H and L) and also all the symbols > , < and = are included in the statements. So Either-or condition is satisfied. Hence Either 2 or 3 and 1 is true. Which of the following symbols should be placed in the blank spaces respectively(from left to right) in order to complete the given expression in such a manner that makes the expressions J & L, F $ K, as well as P $ O definitely true? (4) # , 0/0 Answer key: 3 Solution: F 2 J K < I-ÉM Q We have to make the expressions J < L, F 2 K, P 2 0 definitely true. 1. For J < L, We can place < , S, 2. For F 2 K, We can place 2, So the only common symbol we can place in the single blank to make both the expressions true is i.e. 0/0. 3. For P 2 0 which means O P, We can place only one symbol 'S' i.e. @. So the correct option is c. Leaving from his home, Krishna moves towards South- East a distance of 10 km, then he moves towards West and travels a distance of 20 km. Form here he moves towards North- West a distance of 10 km.

  11. (4) 55, god (5) ball, 35 Answer key: 2 Solution: In Step IV, the elements that are sixth from the left end and sixth from the right end are ball, 35 respectively. Common solution: It can be observed that in each and every step of the arrangement two elements i.e. one word and one number are rearranged. In the first step of the arrangement, the word with highest number of alphabets is moved to the extreme left position and the number with the highest sum of digits (reduced to a single digit) is moved to the extreme right position. (The word 'illusion' has highest number of alphabets and hence it is moved to the extreme left position. The number '35' has the highest sum of digits i.e. 3+5 = 8. Hence it is moved to the extreme right position.) In the second step of the arrangement, the word with second highest number of alphabets is moved to the second position from the left end. The number with the second highest value of sum of digits is moved to the extreme right position. This similar procedure is continued till all the numbers and words get arranged. (We can also observe that if two words are having same number of alphabets in it, then the word that comes last in the alphabetical order is arranged first. Also if two numbers are having same value of sum of digits in it, then they are arranged in the descending order of the numbers.) Input: 55 gold 49 ball movie 35 07 silver 13 illusion god 60 Step 1: illusion 55 gold 49 ball movie 07 silver 13 god 60 35 Step 2: illusion silver 55 gold 49 ball movie 13 god 60 35 07 Step 3: illusion silver movie 55 gold 49 ball 13 god 35 07 60 Step 4: illusion silver movie gold 55 ball 13 god 35 07 60 49 Step 5: illusion silver movie gold ball 55 god 35 07 60 49 13 Step 6: illusion silver movie gold ball god 35 07 60 49 13 55 Directions for Questions 36 to 40: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below: When a word and number arrangement machine is given an input line of words and numbers, it rearranges them following a particular rule.

Common solution: It can be observed that in each and every step of the arrangement two elements i.e. one word and one number are rearranged. In the first step of the arrangement, all the even numbers in the given input are divided by 2 and all the odd numbers in the given input are multiplied by 3.
  13. It can be observed that the words that start with vowels are arranged first in alphabetical order and words that start with consonants next in reverse alphabetical order. Consequently, the numbers in the Step I are arranged in an alternative manner of lowest number and then the highest number and so on. In Step Il, the word that starts with 'a' i.e. 'at' is moved to the extreme left position and the least number i.e. '09' is moved to the extreme right position. In Step Ill, the word that starts with 'u' i.e. 'urgent' is moved to the second left position and the highest number i.e. '93' is moved to the immediate right position of '09'.
