he scored five = 163 ... (iii)

6. 3; According to Pratap: 2 0 , 21 or 22 ... (i)

From (i) and (ii), many = 9 ... (iv)

According to his sister : not 22 ... (ii)

From (i) and (iii), scored = 3 .... (v)

From (i) and (ii), the birthday falls on Apr 20

Using (iv) and (v) in (i), we get

Now, H may lie anywhere on the dotted line.

11. 5; Some bottles are jugs + No jug is plate =

I + E = O = Some bottles are not plates + Some
plates are tables = O +1 = N o conclusion. Hence
I and III do not follow by combination. How
ever, either I or III follows because they form

a complementary I E pair. All cups are bottles

+ Some bottles are jugs = A + 1 = No conclusion.
Hence IV does not follow. Neither does II fol
low.

F J . . . (iv)

12. 5; All handles are pots + All pots are mats

= A + A = A = A l l handles are mats conversion
Some mats are handles (I). Hence IV follows.
All handles are mats + Some mats are buses =
A + I = No conclusion. However I and III form
a complementary pair. H e n c e either I or III
follows. Some chairs are handles + All handles
are mats = I + A = I = Some chairs are mats
conversion Some mats are chairs (I). Hence
II follows.

J < K and II follows.

13.1; All horses are tigers (A) conversion

Some tigers are horses (I). Hence I follows. All
birds are horses+All horses are tigers = A + A =
A= All birds are tigers conversion Some
tigers are birds (I). Hence III follows. Some ti
gers are lions + Some lions are monkeys = I +
I = No c o n c l u s i o n . H e n c e neither II nor IV
follows.
14. 3; Some benches are walls + All walls are
houses = I + A = I = Some benches are houses
conversion Some houses are benches (I).
Hence III follows. Some houses are jungles + All
jungles are roads = I + A = I = Some houses are
roads conversion Some roads are houses
(I). Hence IV follows. All walls are houses +
Some houses are jungles = A+ I = No conclu
sion. Hence II does not follow. Neither does I
as a consequence.

Combining these, we get D < R K > F J.

Now, J a nd R ca n't be compa red. Hence I does
not follow.
R a nd F ca n't be compa red. Hence III does not
follow.
K > D a nd IV follows.
23. 5; N = B ... (i); B W... (ii); W < H... (iii);
H M . . . (iv)
Combining these, we get N = B W < H < M.
Hence M > W a nd I is true.
H a nd N ca n't be compa red. Hence II does not
follow.
Again, W N. Which mea ns either III (W = N)
or IV ( W < N ) is true.
24. 1; R D ... (i); D J ... (ii); J < M ... (iii);
M > K ... (iv)
N o n e of these given qua ntities ca n be c o m pared.
25. 5; M K ... (i); K > N ... (ii); N R... (iii);
R < W ... (iv)
From (i) a nd (ii), M K >N or M >N ... (v)
From (iii) a nd (iv), N R < W o r N < W . . . (vi)
Now, from (ii) a nd (vi), W and K can't be compared. Hence I is not true.
From (iii) and (v), M and R can't be compared.
Hence II is not true.
From (ii) and (vi), K and W can't be compared.

15. 1; I + I = No conclusion.

Hence III is not true.

IV is definitely true from from (v).

Hence V F a nd I is true.
Also, E > T a nd II is true.
Again, T < V a nd IV is true.
From (i) a nd IV, H a nd V ca n't be compa red.

.31. 1; The alarming situation is pretty obvious. So a review committee is not required.
Hence I does not follow. Water crisis is not the
concern of the statement. Hence II does not
follow. Merely two days of downpour does not
merit "relief supplies"; one assumes there is
not a flood-like situation as yet. Hence III does
not follow.

concerned with "criminals". (B) is the only
course the authorities can resort to.
34.1; (A) would be a step in the right direction:
it would ensure that hunger does not deprive
children of education. (B) is escapism. (C) is
absurd.
35. 4; (A) does not make sense unless it be
known that these officials are the culprits. (B)
is necessary to prevent such incidents in the

39.4; In such a scenario, villages do not require
banks to the extent the govt wants them to'
proliferate.

46. 4; Check the position of each element
separately. The elements are replaced after

five steps.
47. 2; The lowerleft element rotates by 45
and 90" A C W alternately. F or other e l e
ments, follow if 1 = 5 then 2 = 6 rule.
48. 3; In alternate steps 'A' rotates by 4 5
and 90 ACW and shifts halfaside and one
side CW. T' relates by 45 ACW and shifts
halfaside CW in each step while the middle
element is replaced in each step.
49. I; In alternate steps 'K' shifts half a side
and one side CW. 'A' shifts from lower left
to upper right and vice versa.
50. 5; In each step the halfshaded oval ro
tates by 45 ACW while the other elements
shift half a side ACW.

52. 3; H i n t : It s e e m s that 2 0 0 9 has the
highest value. N o w we compare it with the
year 2008. It comes as 1.098 lakh. N o w for
the rest of the years appearing candidate as
well as the percentage of those clearing the
exams both are less with comparison to that
in 2009 for "D". There is no need to calcu
late % of clearing candidates separately for
each year. Hence for year 2009 (2.01 x 56%
= 1.1256 lakh) "D" has the required highest
value.
