    DIRECTIONS for the questions 6 : Solve the following question and mark the best possible option.
    In a certain code,
    'very large risk associated' is written as 'nu ta ro gi'
    'risk is very low' is written as ' gi se nu mi'
    'is that also associated' is written as 'ta mi po fu'
    'inherent risk also damaging' is written as 'fu nu di yu'
    (All the codes are two letter codes only.)
  5. What is the code for 'very'?
    1. ta
    2. fu
    3. ro
    4. nu
    5. Gi
    Answer: Option E.
    'very large risk associated' is written as 'nu ta ro gi'-(1)
    'risk is very low' is written as ' gi se nu mi-----(2)
    'is that also associated' is written as 'ta mi po fu'----(3)
    'inherent risk also damaging' is written as 'fu nu di yu'---(4)
    From statements 1 and 3, we have 'associated' as the common word and the common code is 'ta'
    From statements 3 and 4, we have 'also' as the common word and the common code is 'fu'
    From statements 2 and 4, we have 'risk' as the common word and the common code is 'nu
    ' From statements 2 and 3, we have 'is' as the common word and the common code is 'mi'
    From statements 1 and 2, we can conclude that the code of 'very' is 'gi'
    Therefore, from statement 1, the code of 'large' will be 'ro'
    Similarly, from statement 2, the code of 'low' is 'se' and from statement 3, the code of 'that' is 'po'
    Word Code
    Very Gi
    risk Nu
    Is Mi
    Also Fu
    Low Se
    large ro
    That Po
    Associated Ta
    inherent Di/yu
    damaging Di/yu
    The code for 'very' is 'gi'. Hence option E
    DIRECTIONS for the questions 7: Solve the following question and mark the best possible option.
    Point A is 14m north of point B
    Point C is 11m east of point B
    Point D is 5m north of point C
    Point E is 7m west of point D
    Point F is 6m north of point E
    Point G is 4m west of point F
  6. How for and in which direction is point G from point A?
    1. 3m north
    2. 5m north
    3. 4m north
    4. 4m south
    5. 3m south
    Answer: Option E.
    G is 3m south from A. Hence option 5
    DIRECTIONS for the questions 8 : The question below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and mark
  7. I. C is second to the left of A, B and D are immediate neighbors of each other
    II. D is the immediate left of B. E is not an immediate neighbor of D and B
    What is E's position with respect to D?
    1. The data in both the Statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question
    2. The data either in Statement I alone or in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question
    3. The data in Statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question
    4. The data in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question
    5. The data neither in Statement I nor in Statement II are sufficient to answer the question
    Answer: Option D.
  8. Among five friends - J, K, L, M and N each of a different height who is the second tallest
    I. N is taller than M and K, K is shorter than M.
    II. L is taller than N. J is not the tallest
    .
    1. The data in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question
    2. The data neither in Statement I nor in Statement II are sufficient to answer the question
    3. The data in both the Statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question
    4. The data in Statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question
    5. The data either in Statement I alone or in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question
    Answer: Option B.
    From statement I, we get N>M>K but we don't know the position of J and L. So we can't figure out who is the 2nd tallest From statement II, we get L>N and J is not the tallest but again we can't say anything about the 2nd tallest person On combining both the statements, we get L>N>M>K only and J can be anywhere in between L and K. So we can't say anything who is the 2nd tallest person Therefore, the data neither in Statement I nor in Statement II are sufficient to answer the question. Hence option B.
    DIRECTIONS for the questions 10 : Solve the following question and mark the best possible option.
  9. Statement: J = A; C ≥ K > S ≥ A
    Conclusion: I. C > J II. C = J.
    1. Neither conclusion I nor II follows
    2. Both conclusions I and II follows
    3. Only conclusion I follows
    4. Only conclusion II follows
    5. Either conclusion I or II follows
    Answer: Option C.
    Statement: J = A; C ≥ K > S ≥ A
    Conclusion I: C > J is true (C ≥ K > S ≥ J = A)
    Conclusion II: C = J is false
    Thus, only conclusion I follow. Hence option C.
