REASONING 1. In a certain code language 'they have come back' is written as 'na ja sa da' and 'they have gone there' is written as 'da ka pa na'. How is 'come' written in that code language? 1) sa 2) na 3) ja 4) sa or ja 5) Data inadequate 2. How many meaningful English words can be made with the letters IFEL using each letter only once in each word? 1) None 2) One 3) Two 4) Three 5) More than three 3. Each consonant in the word TIRADES is replaced by the previous letter in the English alphabet and each vowel is replaced by the next letter in the English S. Arun alphabet and the new letters are rearranged alphabetically. Which of the following will be the fourth from the right end? 1) F 2) J 3) Q 4) C 5) None 4. Pointing to a girl, Mihir said, "She is the only daughter of my grandfather's only child". How is the girl related to Mihir? 1) Daughter 2) Niece 3) Sister 4) Data inadequate 5) None of these 5. In a row of twenty five children facing south, R is sixteenth from the right end and B is eighteenth from the left end. How many children are there between R and B? 1) 2 2) 3 3) 4 4) Data inadequate 5) None of these Directions (Q.6-10): Following questions are based on the five three-digit numbers given below: 519 328 746 495 837 6. If half of the second highest number is subtracted from the third highest number, what will be the value? 1) 156 2) 146 3) 213 4) 314 5) None of these 7. If the positions of the first and the third digits in each of the numbers are interchanged, which of the following will be the second digit of the lowest number? 1) 1 2) 2 3) 7 4) 9 5) 3 8. If in each number the third digit becomes the first digit, the first digit becomes the second digit and the second digit becomes the third digit, which of the following will be the first digit of the second highest number?

Explanations 1-4; they have come back = na ja sa da ...(i) they have gone there = da ka pa na .... (ii) From (i) and (ii) they have = na da ...(iii) Using (iii) in (i) we get come = ja or sa. 2-3; FILE and LIFE. 3-2; TIRADES → SJQBCFR → BCFJQRS. 4-3; Girl = the only daughter of Mihir's grandfather's only child. = the only daughter of Mihir's father = Mihir's sister. 5-5; B = 18th from the left. R = 16th from right = (25 − 16 + 1) = 10th from left Hence there are 18 − 10 − 1 = 7 children between R and B. 6-2; 519 − 746 ÷ 2 = 519 − 373 = 146. 7-4; After interchange, the lowest number will be 495 as it has the lowest third digit. 8-5; Since third digit becomes the first, look for the second highest third digit.

Make your revision time as efficient and effective as possible. Concentrate on reviewing the question you get wrong during your question practice. Read and re-read the explanations. Outside of your revision time when reading news articles or magazines practice reading them quickly and carefully, identifying and understanding the key points and themes.

Which will be the first digit..? 1) 9 2) 6 3) 3 4) 7 5) 8 9. Which of the following represents the difference between the first and the second digits of the second highest number? 1) 4 2) 1 3) 3 4) 5 5) None 10. If '1' is subtracted from the third digit of each number and '1' is added to the first digit of each number, which of the following will be the sum of the second Mohan and third digits of the second lowest number? 1) 13 2) 9 3) 3 4) 5 5) None Directions (Q.11-15): In each of the questions below are given three statements followed by three conclusions numbered I, II and III. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seems to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts. 11. Statements: Some carrots are brinjals. Some brinjals are apples. All apples are bananas. Conclusions: I. Some apples are carrots. II. Some bananas are brinjals. III. Some bananas are carrots. 1) Only I follows 2) Only II follows 3) Only III follows 4) Only either II or III follows 5) None of these 12. Statements: All keys are locks. All locks are bangles. All bangles are cars. Conclusions: I. Some cars are locks. II. Some bangles are keys. III. Some cars are keys. 1) Only I follows 2) Only I and II follow 3) Only I and III follow

4) Only II and III follow 5) All I, II and III follow 13. Statements: All fruits are leaves. Some leaves are trees. No tree is a house. Conclusions: I. Some houses are fruits. II. Some trees are fruits. III. No house is a fruit. 1) Only I follows 2) Only II follows 3) Only III follows 4) Only either I or III follows 5) None follows 14. Statements: All tables are mirrors. Some mirrors are chairs. All chairs are glasses. Conclusions: I. Some glasses are mirrors. II. Some chairs are tables. III. Some mirrors are tables. 1) Only I and II follow 2) Only II and III follow 3) Only I and III follow 4) All I, II and III follow 5) None of these 15. Statements: All calculators are boxes. All boxes are taps. Some taps are machines. Conclusions: I. Some machines are boxes. II. Some taps are calculators. III. Some boxes are calculators. 1) Only I and II follow 2) Only I and III follow 3) Only II and III follow 4) All I, II and III follow 5) None of these Directions (Q.16-20): In the following questions, the symbols ★, δ, %, @ and © are used with the following meaning as illustrated below: 'P % Q' means 'P is not smaller than Q'. 'P © Q' means 'P is neither smaller than nor equal to Q'. 'P ★ Q' means 'P is neither greater than nor equal to Q'.

'P δ Q' means 'P is not greater than Q'. 'P @ Q' means 'P is neither greater than nor smaller than Q'. Now in each of the following questions, assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the three conclusions I, II and III given below them is / are definitely true and give your answer accordingly. 16.

9-3; 746 is the second highest number and 7 − 4 = 3. 10-1; After the respective subtraction and additions the numbers become 618, 427, 845, 594 and 936. Among these, 594 is the second lowest. Now 9 + 4 = 13. 11-2; Some brinjals are apples + All apples are bananas = I + A = I = Some brinjals are bananas → Conversion → Some bananas are brinjals (I). Hence II follows. But I + I = No conclusion. Hence I does not follow. Neither does III. 12-5; All locks are bangles + All bangles are cars = A + A = A = All locks are cars → Conversion → Some cars are locks (I). Hence I follows. ★ All keys are locks + All locks are bangles = A + A = A = All keys are bangles → Conversion → Some bangles are keys (I). Hence II follows. ★ All keys are bangles + All bangles are cars = A + A = A = All keys are cars → Conversion → Some cars are keys (I). Hence III follows. 13-4; All fruits are leaves + Some leaves are trees = A + I = No conclusion. Hence II

does not follow. Neither do I and III consequently. However, either I or III follows as they form a complementary I-E pair. 14-3; Some mirrors are chairs + All chairs are glasses = I + A = I = Some mirrors are glasses → Conversion → Some glasses mirrors (I). Hence I follows. ★ All tables are mirrors + Some mirrors are chairs = A + I = No conclusion. Hence II does not follow. III follows by converting to first statement. 15-3; All boxes are taps + some taps are machines = A + I = No conclusion. Hence I does not follows. ★ All calculators are boxes + All boxes are taps = A + A = A = All calculators are taps → Conversion → Some taps are calculator (I). Hence II follows. All calculators are boxes (A) → Conversion → Some boxes are calculators (I). Hence III follows. 16-4; R ≤ K... (i); K < M...(ii); M = J ... (iii) Combining these we get R ≤ K < M = J Hence J > K and I follows. Also, M > R and II follows.

Again R < J and III follows. 17-3; Z = M... (i); M > K...(ii); K < F...(iii) Combining these we get Z = M > K < F From this F and Z can't be compared. Neither can F and M. Hence I and III do not follow. But K < Z and II follows. 18-2; B < J...(i); J ≥ W... (ii); W > M...(iii) Combining these we get B < J ≥ W > M Hence M < J and I follows. But W and B can't be compared. Neither can B and M. Hence II and III do not follow. 19-5; V ≥ H... (i); H = F...(ii); F ≤ E...(iii) Combining these we get V ≥ H = F ≤ E Hence V ≥ F. Which means either I(F = V) or II (F < V) follows. Again, E ≥ H. Hence III follows. 20-1; W > T...(i); T≤ N...(ii); N ≥ D...(iii) No comparisons can be made.
