Directions (1-5) In each of the following problems, there is one question and three statements I, II and III given below the question. You have to decide whether the data given in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read all the statements carefully and find which of the statements is/are sufficient to answer the given question. Choose the correct alternative in each question.
1. Question: What is Suman's rank from the top in a class of forty students? Statements: 1. Suman is 3 ranks below Deepak from the top. 2. Deepak's rank from the bottom is 23. 3. Suman is 3 ranks above Deepak from the bottom.

A. Any two of the three B. Only I and II C. Only I and II D. Only II and either I or III

Answer - Option D
Explanation -From II, we conclude that in a class of 40, Deepak ranks 23rd from the bottom i.e. 18th from the top. From I and II, we find that Suman is 3 ranks below 18th rank from the top i.e. she ranks 21st from the top. From II and III, we find that Suman is 3 ranks above 23rd rank from the bottom i.e. she ranks 20th from the bottom or 21st from the top.
2. Question: Five persons - A, B, C, D and E are sitting in a row. Who is sitting in the middle? Statements: 1. B is between E and C. 2. B is to the right of E. 3. D is between A and E.

A. Only I and II B. Only II and III C. Only I and III D. All I, II and III

Answer - Option D
Explanation -From I, the order is : E, B, C or C, B, E. From II, the order is : E, B. From III, the order is : A, D, E. Combining the above three, we get the order as : A, D, E, B, C. Clearly, E is sitting in the middle.
3. Question: How is 'DATE' written in the code language? Statements: 1. DEAR is written as $#@? in that code. 2. TREAT is written as %?#@% in that code. 3. TEAR is written as %#@? in that code,

A. Only I and II B. Only II and III C. All I, II and III D. Only I and either II or III

Answer - Option D
Explanation - Observing I, II and III, we find that similar letters have similar code symbols at the corresponding places in the code. So, this is direct-coding. Thus, to find the code for DATE, we need the code for D which can be obtained from I only (i.e. $.) and the codes for A, T, and E which can be obtained either from II or III (@, # and % respectively).

A.Only I and II B.Only II and III C.Only I and III D.All I, II and III

Answer - Option D
Explanation -From II, we know that Copal's brother was born in 1982. From III, we find that Gopal's brother was 8 years younger to him i.e. Gopal was born in 1974. From I, we find that Sanjay is 6 years older than Gopal. Thus, Sanjay was born in 1968.
5. Question: Who among Siddhartha, Nikunj, Vipul and Mukul is the youngest? Statements: 1. Vipul is younger than Mukul but older than Siddhartha and Nikunj. 2. Mukul is the oldest. 3. Siddhartha is older than Nikunj.

A. Only I B. Only I and II C. Only II and III D. Only I and III

Answer - Option D
Explanation -From I, we have: M > V, V > S, V > N ...(i) From II, we have: Mukul is the oldest ...(ii) From III, we have: S > N ...(iii) Combining (i) and (iii), we get :M > V, V >S > N or M>V > S > N. Clearly, Nikunj is the youngest.

1. How many dots lie opposite to the face having three dots, when the given figure is folded to form a cube?

A. 2 B. 4 C. 5 D. 6

Answer - Option D
Explanation - The given figure is similar to Form V. Therefore, when this figure is folded to form a cube then the face bearing six dots will lie opposite the face bearing three dots.
2. Choose the box that is similar to the box formed from the given sheet of paper (X).

A. 1 and 2 only B. 2 and 3 only C. 2 and 4 only D. 1, 2, 3 and 4

Answer - Option D
Explanation - The fig. (X) is similar to Form II. So, when a cube is formed by folding the sheet shown in fig. (X), then the two half-shaded faces lie opposite to each other and one. of the three blank faces appears opposite to the face bearing a dot. Clearly, each one of the four cubes shown in figures (1), (2), (3) and (4) can be formed by folding the sheet shown in fig. (X).
3. Observe the dots on a dice (one to six dots) in the following figures. How many dots are contained on the face opposite to that containing four dots?

A. 2 B. 3 C. 6 D. Cannot be determined

Answer - Option A
Explanation - We shall assume the dice in fig. (ii) to be rotated so that the 5 dots appear at the same position as in fig. (i) i.e. on RHS face (i.e. on face II as per activity 1) and 1 dot appears at the same position as in fig; (i) i.e. on Front face (i.e. on face I). Then, from the, two figures, 2 dots appear on the top face (i.e. on face V) and 4 dots appear on the Bottom face (i.e. on face VI).
4. Three different positions of a dice are shown below. How many dots lie opposite 2 dots?

A. 1 B. 3 C. 5 D. 6

Answer - Option C
Explanation - From figures (ii) and (iii), we conclude that 1, 6, 3 and 4 dots lie adjacent to 5 dots. Therefore, 2 dots must lie opposite 5 dots. Conversely, 5 dots must lie opposite 2 dots.
5. If the total number of dots on opposite faces of a cubical block is always 7, find the figure which is correct.

A. Fig.1 B. Fig.2 C. Fig.3 D. Fig.4

Answer - Option B
Explanation - Since the total number of dots on opposite faces is always 7, therefore, 1 dot appears opposite 6 dots, 2 dots appear opposite 5 dots and 3 dots appear opposite 4 dots.
