figure (b) however, the left side is lost before the upper side

18 (a) Ayan Chatterji satisfies all the criteria Therefore, he can be selected

49 (c) No information is given against criterion (v) in case of Swati Singh

Therefore, our required answer would be “Data inadequate”

20 (d) Anupam Saikia satisfies all the criteria except at (ji) but he does

satisfy (A) instead Therefore, his case should be referred to Senior Merchandiser

24 (e) From statement |

[shm] rtm opp > lovely tiny [Pa]

Ki [im] bmp ¬ great national [parK|

Therefore, code for “tiny” may be either “rtm” or “opn"

From statements Ì and

Em BI opn — [national great] lovely

Clearly code for tiny is rtm

22 (e) From statement |

Clearly, Eis the shortest

23 (a) From statement | it is clear that P is brother of D and D has two children, a son (.e A) and a daughter (i.e F) It means P is uncle of

A So, statement | alone is sufficient

24 (c) From statement!

1

Weight of = th of a box=5 kg

So, total weight of a box = 20 kg

Hence, weight of ten boxes = 20 x 10 = 200 kg

16

So, weight of 10 boxes = 20 x 10 = 200 kg

From statement | we can conclude the total amount of mango

exported from India From statement Il also, we can conclude that total amount of mango exported from India is 12.5% of 1.9 milion tons So, the answer to the given question can be derived from either statement | alone or statement Il alone

Both, the premises are aligned Thus,

All clocks are fans

_

‘Some fans are walls Possible Venn-diagrams But, A + | => No conclusion =>

However, both the conclusions Gi | Koad

from complementary pair '

Therefore either | or Il follows SS

Both the premises are aligned

All shawls are carpets

a

No carpet is pullover

We know that,

A+ E = E type conclusion

Therefore, our derived conclusion

would be: Possible Venn-diagrams

“No shaw is pullover”

Therefore, conclusion I! follows

Conclusion | is the conversion of the

E + 1 =O, type conclusion

Thus, our derived conclusion would be

“Some researchers are not scientists.”

We can align the premises by changing their order Thus,

Some dusters are tables

a

All tables are cars

17

Possible Venn-diagrams

coin A1886 Thus, our derived conclusion

would be:

30 (d) Both the premises are aligned If both the premises are particular,

no conclusion follows from them

In a developing country, a policy cannot be followed merely on

pretext that it is pursued in the western countries So, argument |

does not hold Also putting telephone services in private hands may

even bring out greater efficiency So, argument II is also vague

The autonomous status of the Doordarshan will be a step towards giving itindependence for an impartial coverage Autonomous status does not mean that the coverage will be decided by a few So, only argument I holds strong

The control of pollution, on one hand, seems to be impossible because of the ever growing needs and disconcem of the people but, on the other hand, the control is possible by a joint effort So, either of the arguments will hold strong

18

Sura's Reasor
