Explanations
For questions 1 to 5 : For questions 12 to 15: Draw different types of Venn
The tours can be arranged in the following manner: diagrams based on the statements and then draw
common conclusions.
Monday – D
12. d
Tuesday – off Boys

Wednesday – B Girls Idiots

Thursday – E
Friday – F
From the above venn diagram we can conclude
Saturday – C
that neither I nor II follows.
Sunday – A

Dwarfs

class get 72, then average of the class

only I definitely follows. II does not follow because
Statement II gives us the extreme values of the ‘Some dwarfs are Indian’ does not mean that ‘Some

of the problem.
7. b With the given information, the only confusion is
whether blue-coloured book or the red coloured
book is at the extreme left. Statement I is just the Eccentric
reverse of the statement that black coloured book
is to the right of red coloured book. Statement II From the above venn diagram we can deduce that
says that black coloured book is to the left of blue only II follows. Abhinav may or may not be a
coloured book. So blue book can’t be the left most. scientist.
So red book at the left most position. 15. c

8. b The series is moving as the difference between
the consecutive terms is halved of the previous Car Black1
difference and is added to the next term of the
series to continue the given series. Black2
1.12 – 0.56 = 0.56
1.40 – 1.12 = 0.28 From the above venn diagram we can conclude
1.54 – 1.40 = 0.14 that both I and II follow. ‘Some’ is included in ‘All’
- therefore ‘some cars are costly’ and ‘some cars
1.54 + 0.07 = 1.61
are not black’.
9. a There are three parallel series moving in the
16. d The coding follows as
question such as (5, 9, 13, 17....), (8, 13, 18 ,
23.....) and (13, 17, 21 , 25...). P(16) + 5 = U(21) E(5) + 5 = J(10)
10. d Among the given options only option (d) conveys R(18) + 5 = W(23) X(24) + 5 = C(3)
that M is the uncle of P. As M is the brother of N O(15) + 5 = T(20) T(20) + 5 = Y(25)
and N is the father of P. Hence, we can conclude P(16) + 5 = U(21) R(18) + 5 = W(23)
that M is the uncle of P. E(5) + 5 = J(10) A(1) + 5 = F(6)
11. c Ramu’s son’s uncle - Ramu’s brother. So, the old R(18) + 5 = W(23) C(3) + 5 = H(8)
man’s son is Ramu’s brother, i.e. the old man is
T(20) + 5 = Y(25)
Ramu’s father.

17. d F(6) + 2 H(8) H(8) + 2 J (10) For questions 20 to 24:
A(1) + 2 C(3) U(21) + 2 W(23) E is the opening sentence as it does not fit in anywhere
T(20) + 2 V(22) M(13) + 2 O(15) else in the passage. The mandatory pair ‘DC’ follows
H(8) + 2 J(10) A(1) + 2 C(3) E as it states where the story began (at the airport)
E(5) + 2 G(7) N(14) + 2 P(16) and what were the author’s feelings/ state of mind at
R(18) + 2 T(20) I(9) + 2 K(11)
that moment (annoyed). B follows as it states the
T(20) + 2 V(22)
reason for his annoyance and A follows it as the pronoun
Y(25) + 2 A(1)
‘they’ mentioned in A refers to ‘the security people’
18. b A
B mentioned in B. Hence, the correct sequence is
