Solutions:
For Q(1-45)
Q1:
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
We have been given
Kiran > Manoj ...(i)
Dilip > Neelam ...(ii)
Now, who is the youngest? We need information by which the above equations can be combined into a single equation.
From I: If Kiran > Neelam then either Manoj or Neelam will be the youngest.
From II: If Dilip > Manoj then either Manoj or Neelam be the youngest.
Hence, neither I nor II is sufficient.
Q2:
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
From I:
From II:
Both the statements I and II are not independently sufficient because statement I does not say about F and statement II does not say about M.
From statement I and II together, F is the daughter of M.
But we don’t know the sex of M.

Q(12-16):
Q12:
Answer: Option E
Q13:
Answer: Option B
Q14:
Answer: Option D
Q15:
Answer: Option C
Q16:
Answer: Option B
Q17:
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
M K ....(ii), K ≤ R ...(iii); R > F ....(iv)
These relationships can’t be of any help; none of the quantities can be compared on their basis.
Q18:
Answer: Option E
Explanation:
B ≥ K ...(i); K = T....(ii); T > F ....(iii); H < F... (iv)
From (i) and (ii), B ≥ K = T or B ≥ T. Hence either I (B = T) or II (T < B) is true.
From (ii), (iii) and (iv), K = T, T > F > H or H < K.
Hence III follows. From (i), (ii) and (iii),
B ≥ K =T > F or F < B. Hence IV follows.
Q19:
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
W > B ...(i); B ≤ F ...(ii); F < R ...(iii); R = M ...(iv)
From (ii), (iii) and (iv), B ≤ F ≤ R ≤ M = ...(v)
Hence M > B and II follows. Also, R > B and III follows.
From (i) and (v). We can’t be compared either with F or with M. Hence I and IV do not follow.
Q20:
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
E ≤ K ...(i); K = T ...(ii); T < N ...(iii); B ≥ N ...(iv)
Combining these, we get E ≤ K = T < N ≤ B.
Hence T ≤ E and I follow.
Again, K < N and II follow.
B > T and hence III is true.
Again, B > E and hence IV follows.
Q21:
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Z = B ...(i); B ≥ M ...(ii); M < F...(iii); F ≤ R ......iv)
From (i) and (ii), Z = B ≥ M or Z ≥ M...(v)
Hence I (Z > M) is not definitely true but IV (M ≤ Z )is:
From (ii) and (iii), B and F can’t be compared.
Hence II does not follow.
From (iii) and (iv), M M. Hence III follows.
Q22:
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
All stones are poles + All poles are desks = A + A = A
= All stones are desks → conversion → Some desks are stones (I).
Hence II follows. All stones are desks + Some desks are nets = A + I = No conclusion. Hence I do not follow. Some desks are nets + All nets are days = I + A
= I = Some desks are days → conversion → Some days are desk (I).
Hence III follows.
Q23:
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Some weeks are years + All years are buses = I + A = I
= Some weeks are buses → conversion → Some buses are weeks (I). Hence II follows. Some weeks are buses + All buses are trains = I + A = I = Some weeks are trains → conversion → Some trains are weeks (I).
Hence, I follows. Some months are weeks + Some weeks are trains = I + I = No conclusion. Hence III does not follow.
Q24:
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Some stations are rails + All rails are rivers = I + A = I = Some stations are rivers → conversion → Some rivers are stations (I).
Hence II follows. All rivers are papers + Some papers are cards = A + I = No conclusion.
Q25:
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
[latex]{4}^{th}[/latex] to the left of [latex]{6}^{th}[/latex] to the left of W = (4 + 6) = [latex]{10}^{th}[/latex] to the left of W = 9

Answer: Option E
Q30:
Answer: Option B
Q31:
Answer: Option E
Explanation:
In the first step the upper middle shifts to middle left → lower left → upper middle while the remaining four shift one step CW in a cyclic order. In the next step the middle row elements shift from left to right in a cycle order while the remaining five shift one step CW.
Q32:
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
In the first step the upper left and middle right interchange places ; so do the upper right and middle left. The remaining three elements shift one step CW. In the next step the lower-left and lower-right elements are replaced by new ones while the remaining five shift one step ACW in a cyclic order.
Q33:
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
In each step the upper middle rotates by 45° CW and the lower middle rotates by 45° ACW. Among the middle-row elements two pairs interchange places while the fifth element is replaced by new one successively from the right to left, beginning from the right.
Q34:
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
From fig 1 to 2: The upper left and the middle left interchange positions while the remaining five elements shift one step CW in a cyclic order.
Q35:
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Follow the shifting of the elements in alternate steps.
