Directions (6-10): Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
XYZ Limited Company organised an exhibition of machine tools. The exhibition was opened on all the weekdays for public. Certain pass codes were issued to he visitors as entry card, The pass code of entry card was changed every hour according to a certain rule as shown below' The entry time of the first batch of the visitors was 9 AM and that for the last batch was 7 PM' Each batch of the was allowed only one hour' The lunch time was from 1PM to 2 PM,
Batch I (9AM to 10AM)
Pass code: course easy set for each year was

was year    each    for     set       easy   course
Thus, we see that after Batch VI, the pass code for each subsequent batch is repeated starting pairs of Batches have the same pass code
(a) Batch I and Batch VII
(b) Batch II and Batch VIII
(c) Batch III and Batch IX
(d) Batch IV and Batch X

(ii) D > G = K = M
Conclusions
I. M + G ⇒ M = G
M is either equal to or smaller than G.
II. D × K ⇒ D > K
It is clear that D is greater that K.

(c) Four
(d) Five
(e) None of these
Ans. (a)

Thus, there are two such pairs of letters.

Directions (41-45): In each question below are given some statements followed by four conclusions numbered I' II' III and IV. You have to lake the given statements to be true even if they seem at variance from commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts.

41. Statements : Some ice are rings.
No ring is Paint.
Some rings are gold.
Conclusions:
(I) No any gold is Paint.
(II) No any ice is gold.
(III) Some rings are Paints.
(IV) All gold's are rings.
(a) Only I and III follow
(b) Only I and II follow
(c) Only III and lV follow
(d) Only II and III follow
(e) None of these
Ans. (e)

The shaded portion represents doubtful proposition. Since two of the premises are Particular, the Universal conclusions can be discarded. Therefore, conclusions I, II and IV are invalid. For conclusion III, the second and the third premises are relevant. We can align the premises by converting the third premise and changing the order of the premises. Thus,
Some gold are rings .

No ring is paint.
We know that
I + E ⇒ O Type conclusion
Therefore, our derived conclusion would be :
"Some gold are paints".
Similarly, we can take the first and the second premises.
Thus,
Some ice are rings

No ring is paint.
We know that ,
I + E ⇒ O type conclusion
Thus , our derived conclusion would be :
"Some ice are not pains".

42. Statements:
All gates are flowers.
Some gates are fruits.
Some flowers are clips.
Conclusions:
(I) Some flowers are fruits.
(II) Some cliPs are fruits.
(III) Some clips are gates.
(V) No any flower is fruit.
(a) Only I follows
(b) Only I and IV follow
(c) Only II and IV follow
(d) Only I and III follow
(e) None of these
42. (a)

For conclusion I the first and the second premises are relevant. We can align these premises by converting the second premise and
changing the order of the premises.
Some fruits are gates

All gates are flowers
We know that,
I + A ⇒ I type conclusion.
Thus, our derived conclusion would be :
"Some fruits are flowers".
Conclusion I is the conversion of our derived conclusion. Since all the premises are Affirmative, no Negative conclusion can be derived
from them. Therefore, conclusion IV is invalid.

43. Statements:
No candle is bell.
Some shoes are bells.
All tables are shoes.
Conclusions:
(I) Some tables are bells.
(II) No table is bell.
(III) Some shoe are candles.
(IV) No shoes is candle.
(a) Only I and IV follow
(b) Only I and II follow
(c) Only III and lV follow
(d) Only I and III follow
(e) None of these
(e) Ans. From the first two premises we can derive the conclusion : "Some shoes are not candles".
No candle is bell.

Some bells are shoes
We know that,
E + I ⇒ O, type conclusion.

The shaded protion implies doubtful proposition. Conclusion I and II from complementary pair.Therefore, either conclusion I or II
follows.
Similarly, conclusion III and IV from complementary pair. Therefore, either conclusion III or IV follows.

44. Statements :
Some films are clouds. All rats are clouds. Some clouds are chairs.
Conclusions:
(I) No film is chair.
(II) Some rats are films.
(III) Some clouds are rats.
(IV) Some chairs are rats.
(a) Only I and III follow
(b) Either II or IV follows
(c) No any conclusion follows
(d) Only IV follows
(e) None of these
(e) Ans. All the three premises are Affirmative and hence the Negative conclusion is invalid. Therefore, conclusion I does not follow.

Conclusion III is the conversion of the second premise.

45. Statements:
Some lice are slates.
All slates are apples.
No apple is car.
Conclusions:
(I) Some cars are slates.
(II) Some lice are cars.
(III) Some apples are lice.
(IV) No car is lice.
(a) No any conclusion follows
(b) Only II follows
(c) Only III follows
(d) Either II or IV and III follow
(e) None of these
Ans. (d)

For conclusion III the first and the second premises are relevant. Both the premises are already aligned.
Some lice are slates.

All states are apples.
We know that
I + A ⇒ I type conversion.
Thus, our derived conclusion would be
"Some lice are apples".
Conclusion III is the conversion of the derived conclusion.
Conclusion II and IV from complementary pair. Hence either conclusion II or IV follows.

Directions (61-65): In each of the .questions given below which one of the five answer figures should come after the problem figures if the sequence were continued ?

61. Problem Figures

Answer Figures

(d) Ans. The movement and changes of designs in the subsequent figures can be shown as :
From Problem Figure (1) to (2)

From problem Figure (2) to (3)

These two steps are repeated alternately and a new design appears in the centre in each subsequent figure.

62. Problem Figures

Answer Figures

(a) Ans. In the subsequent figures respectively one, one and half and half part (s) of triangle get (s) shaded in a set pattern.

63. Problem Figures

Answer Figures

(d) Ans. From Problem Figure (1) to (2) the lower design ascends vertically and it is replaced by a new design, the left design moves anticlockwise and the right design moves to the left. Similar changes would occur from Problem Figure (5) to Answer Figure.

64. Problem Figures

Answer Figures

(d) Ans. From Problem Figure (1) to (2) the line segments at the left end rotate through 45o anticlockwise while that of upper line segments at the right end rotates through 45o anticlockwise. Similar changes occur from Problem Figure (3) to (a) and from Problem Figure (5) to Answer Figure.
65. Problem Figures

Answer Figures

(c) Ans. From Problem Figure (1) to (2) all the designs move half a step in clockwise direction and the first and the last designs interchange position while a new designs is introduced in front of the pre-existing designs. From Problem Figure (2) to (3) all the designs move one step in clockwise direction and again the first and the last designs interchange position so as the two middle designs and a new design is introduced in front of the pre-existing designs. From Problem Figure (3) to (4) all the designs move 1(1/2)
steps in clockwise direction and the first two designs interchange position with the last two designs and a new design is introduced in front of the pre-existing designs. From Problem Figures (a) to (5) all the designs move two steps in clockwise direction and the first and the last designs have interchanged position so as the second and the second last designs and litre two middle design have interchange position while a new design is introduced in front of the pre-existing designs. Therefore, from problem Figure (5) to Answer Figure all the designs would move two and one-half steps in clockwise direction and also rearrangement of designs would take place and a new design
will be introduced in front of the pre-existing designs.
