In each question below are given two statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to take the two given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts, consider the two conclusions; together and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the two given statements, disregarding commonly known facts. Statements : I.All machines are windows. All windows are clouds. Conclusions : I. All machines are clouds. II.All clouds are machines. (1) None follows (2) Only I follows (3) Both I & II follow (4) Only II follows (5) Either I or II follows There may also be problems in the form of figures, designs and drawings. These may be of three types viz. (1) analogies, (2) classification and (3) series. 1. Analogies (I) : Try the following analogy type questions. Directions : In these questions, there are two sets of figures. The Problem Figures and the Answer Figures. The Problem Figures are presented in two units. The first unit contains two figures and the second unit contains one figure and a question mark in place of the second figure. You have to find out which one of the Answer Figures should be in place of the question mark. Q.12. Look at the first two Problem Figures. The second figure is related to the first figure in a certain way. The elements in the second figure are double the elements in the first figure. The first figure is one square and the second figure is two squares. The third and fourth figures should have the same relationship as the first and the second have. That means the fourth figure should be double the third figure. The third figure is a circle; so the fourth should be two circles. Answer figure 5 has two circles. Therefore, the answer is 5. Q.13. Study the first and the second figures in the first unit of the Problem Figures. The first figure is made up of three lines and the second figure is made up of four lines. That means the second figure has one line more than the first figure. The third figure in the second unit has four lines. Therefore, the fourth figure should have five lines. You will find that figure 1 is made up of five lines. Therefore, the answer is 1. Now attempt the following question. Q.14. Analogies (II) : In each of the following problems a related pair of figures is followed by five numbured pairs of figures. Select the pair that has a relationship similar to that in the original pair. The best answer is to be selected from a group of fairly close choices. Now study the following problems. Q.15. In the problem figure, the right hand element of the figure is related to the left hand element of the figure in a certain way. The right hand element has one side more than the left hand element. The pair in the Answer figure No. 5 has the same relationship i.e. the right hand element of the figure has one side more than the left hand element of the figure. Therefore, ‘5’ is the answer. Q.16. In the problem figure, the right hand element of the figure is related to the left hand element of the figure in a certain way. Both the elements are rectangles, but the right hand element is horizontal while the left hand element is vertical. In the answer figure 2, both the elements of the figure are straight lines. The right hand element is horizontal while the left hand element is vertical. Therefore, (2) is the correct answer. Now attempt the following question : 2. Classification : Study the following questions based on classification. Q.18. In classification, the Problem Figures themselves are also the Answer Figures. Out of the five figures, four are similar in a certain way. One figure is not like the other four. That means four figures form a group. The question is which one of the figures does not belong to this group ? For example, look at the Q. No. 18. Of the five figures, four are straight lines whereas one is a circle. The four lines form a group. The circle does not belong to this group. Therefore, the answer is the circle which is figure 1. Q.19. Study the five figures. The first four figures form a group as they represent living beings while the fifth figure, the triangle, does not represent a living being. Therefore the answer is 5. Now attempt the following question. Q.20. 3. Series (l) Study the following problems based on series. Q.21. Note that the five figures given first at the left are called Problem Figures. The five figures given next are called Answer Figures. They are indicated by numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The five Problem Figures make a series. That means they change from left to right in a specific order. The question is ‘If the figures continue to change in the same order, what should the sixth figure be ? In the example above, as you go from left to right, you find that the line across the Problem Figures is inclining towards left. The question is, ‘if the line continues to incline further, what will be its next, i.e. sixth position ?’ The answer would be it would fall further and be lying flat, ie. it will be horizontal. Answer Figure 4 has a line lying horizontal. Therefore, the answer is 4. Q.22. Study the position of the dot in all the Problem Figures. Note that it keeps moving around the square in the clockwise directions. Where would it be next in the sixth position ? It would come back to the upper left corner. Therefore, the answer is 2. Now solve the following questions. 3. Series (ll) In each of the following problems, a series is established if the positions of the two out of five numbered figures are interchanged. The position of the first unnumbered figure remains the same. It is the beginnng of the series. The earlier of the two numbered figures whose positions are interchanged is the Answer. If it is not necessary to interchange the positions of figures to establish the series, write 5 as your answer. Remember that when the series is established, the figures change from left to right (i.e. from the unnumbered figure to the last figure), in a specific order. Now study the following problems : Q.25. In this problem, a series is already established. It is not necessary to interchange the positions of any two numbered figures. Therefore, mark (5) as the correct Answer. Q.26. In this problem a series is established by interchanging the positions of figures (4) and (5). Therefore, Mark (4) as the correct Answer. Data Analysis and Interpretation This test is designed to measure how fast and accurate you are in dealing with numbers, viz. computation, quantitative reasoning, interpretation of tables and graphs etc. Q.27-29. Study the following table carefully and answer the questions given below –––– Distribution of 1000 candidates as regards their marks in written examination out of 300 and interview out of 100 in a selection examination Written INTERVIEW MARKS Examination Below 30 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70 & above Marks 260 & above 8 18 26 18 26 4 210 to 259 5 4 30 22 10 9 160 to 209 16 10 45 56 18 9 110 to 159 28 42 100 190 15 5 60 to 109 35 115 20 8 7 5 Below 60 32 32 20 4 6 2 Q.27.

(1) 110-159 (2) 110 & below (3) 50 to 70 (4) 50 & above (5) Other than those given as options Some of the questions may require arithmetical reasoning. For example : Q.30. At 10 paise each, how many paise will 6 lemons cost ? (1) 6 (2) 10 (3) 60 (4) 610 (5) Other than those given as options Q.31. Which of the following can be exact multiple of 4 ? (1) 27114 (2) 58204 (3) 48402 (4) 32286 (5) Other than those given as options Q.32. If the profit made by selling a pen for Rs.10 is as much as its cost, what is the cost price of the pen ? (1) Rs.3/- (2) Rs.5/- (3) Rs.10/- (4) Rs.20/- (5) Other than those given as options Also, there may be some questions based on graphs and tables. Q.33-35. Directions : Given below is a table showing percentages out of a total of 700 employees ranking six attributes that help promotion. Rank I is the highest. Study the table carefully and answer the questions that follow : Attribute Percent of Employees Giving Different Ranks I II III IV V VI Seniority 32 17 22 19 5 5 Perseverance 14 19 17 9 27 14 Efficiency 15 19 21 14 14 17 Intelligence 10 14 10 14 17 35 Honesty 24 17 7 9 27 16 Sociability 5 14 23 35 10 13 Q.33. Which attribute for promotion has received the highest rank ? (1) Perseverance (2) Seniority (3) Honesty (4) Sociability (5) Efficiency Notice the percentage for rank I given in the table. You observe that seniority is the attribute with the highest percentage. So your answer is “Seniority”, which is answer No. (2) Q.34. How many employees gave rank III to intelligence ? (1) 119 (2) 98 (3) 77 (4) 70 (5) 10 Look at the intersection of the column giving percentage for rank III and the row giving percentage for intelligence. You find that 10 percent of the 700 employees have given rank III to this attribute. 10% of 700 is 70. So your answer should be (4). Q.35. Which attribute is considered the least important for promotion ? (1) Honesty (2) Intelligence (3) Perseverance (4) Efficiency (5) Sociability Referring to the percentage for VI rank, you find that intelligence is the attribute which receives the highest percentage. In other words, a majority of people consider it as the least important and give it the last rank. Therefore your answer is (2).
