1. 1; Except it all others are plane figures. 17. 5; Conversion of statement (a) gives conclusion II.
Hence, conclusion II follows. Again statement (a) +
2. 1; statement (b) gives conclusion III [  A + E = E]. Hence,
conclusion III follows. Conclusion I follows from con-
version of conclusion III. Hence, All follow.
18. 4; Conclusion II follows from conversion of statement
(a). Now, statement (b) + conversion of statement (a)
gives no conclusion [  A + I = no conclusion]. Hence,
conclusions I and III do not follow. But conclusion I

4. 2; Lady’s mother’s husband = lady’s father, lady’s father’s
sister = lady’s aunt. As is given, lady’s aunt is man’s
aunt, therefore, lady is man’s sister.
5. 3; Others are natural resources [while plastic is prepared

7. 4; Here, we study all the options one by one. Reject 1) as
the gender of K is not known. Reject 2) for the same
reason as 1). Reject 3) as K is the maternal uncle of R.
Now, in the option 4), R is the father of J, J is the sister
of K and K is the brother of M. Hence, K is son of R.

and conclusion III make an IE-type complementary
pair. Hence either conclusion I or conclusion III fol-
lows.
19. 4; Statement (a) + Statement (b) gives no conclusion
[  I + I = no conclusion]. Therefore, conclusion I
does not follow. Again conversion of statement (b)
gives the conclusion “Some rods are lamps”. Hence,
conclusions II and III do not follow.
20. 5; Shyam is shorter than Madan as well as Rohit. In the
other group, Vipin and Vivek are taller than Akash and
Ahmed respectively. Now if Rohit or Vipin or Vivek do
not occupy the first position it means it is Madan
who is the tallest. Second is of course, Rohit. Beyond
this we can’t proceed with certainty.

After reversing, the numbers become as follows:

Clearly, the frequency of 5, 6 and 8 is the same i.e., 2. 51. 3; Past Perfect Tense will be used. The structure is :
(26–30): We have information that F’s flat is second to the Subject + had + past participle
right of J’s flat, which is exactly opposite of C’s flat 52. 1; ‘That boy possesses’ is the correct usage, as the verb

Again, we have information that D’s flat is on the 61. 5 62. 4 63. 1 64. 3 65. 2

flats of both I and E can be in the same row in which their numbers are increased by 20%, 40% and 25%
the flats of B, C and A are. respectively the new ratio becomes
Thus, we get two such cases: 3x × 120% : 5x × 140% : 8x × 125% = 36 : 70 : 100
F J D F J D = 18 : 35 : 50

EA C B I I A C B E and 2 y 66x = 42y
Case I Case II 22
Now, we have been given that the flats of E and H 11x - 7y = 0 ..... (ii)
are opposite each other. Thus reject case I, because Solving equations (i) and (ii) we get x = 7 and y = 11
in that case E and F are opposite each other. Now y - x = 11 - 7 = 4
Hence, the positions of the ten flats are as follows: 69. 5; 98.98 ÷ 11.03 + 7.014 × 15.99 = (?)2
