27. W(45)N(60)E(75) N(30).

East and West are opposite. So subtract = E(30).
N(60) and N(30) are same direction. So add = N(90).
N(90) E(30) = NE(√(90)2+(30)2)=NE(30 √10)
Her friend's house is located at 30 √10m distance with reference to her starting point.
28 Explanation:
Step-1: Compare special words in both the statements. i.e. some + all. Then, from the rule, some + all →
some.
Step-2: Compare predicate of the first statement and subject of the second statement. If both are same
then cancel them and deduce a new conclusion. 'some keys are doors' is there in conclusion-(II). So, only
conclusion-(II) follows. Hence, option-b is correct.
29. answer

30. Explanation: In the following Venn diagram, F and E

represent people who read French and English
respectively.
Now, [F+({F ∩ E}) + E] = 15-3 (or) F+E+(F ∩ E) = 12 ......(1)
Also, F+(F ∩ E) = 7; E+(F ∩ E) = 8.
By adding, F+E+2(F ∩ E) = 15 ---------- (2)
By subtracting (1) from (2), we get (F ∩ E) = 3.
∴ 3 of them read both French and English.

orrect Option: A
we can write the given word COMMUNICATIONS as -

M→4
U→5

I→7
C→8
A→9
T → 10
I → 11
O → 12
N → 13
S → 14
After rearrangement , The letter N will be the tenth letter counting from right .
