First, you will be given a list of three "nonsense" words and their English word meanings. The
question(s) that follow will ask you to reverse the process and translate an English word into the
artificial language.
5.
Here are some words translated from an artificial language.
hapllesh means cloudburst
srenchoch means pinball
resbosrench means ninepin
Which word could mean "cloud nine"?
A.
leshsrench
B.
ochhapl
C.
haploch
D.
haplresbo
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Hapl means cloud; lesh means burst; srench means pin; och means ball; and resbo means
nine. Leshsrench (choice a) doesn't contain any of the words needed for cloud nine. We know
that och means ball, so that rules out choices b and c. When you combine hapl (cloud)
withresbo (nine), you get the correct answer

Choose the statement that is best supported by the information given in the question passage.
8.
Yoga has become a very popular type of exercise, but it may not be for everyone. Before you
sign yourself up for a yoga class, you need to examine what it is you want from your fitness
routine. If you're looking for a high-energy, fast-paced aerobic workout, a yoga class might
not be your best choice.
This paragraph best supports the statement that
A.
yoga is more popular than high-impact aerobics.
B.
before embarking on a new exercise regimen, you should think about

your needs and desires.
C.
yoga is changing the world of fitness in major ways
D.
yoga benefits your body and mind
E.
most people think that yoga isn't a rigorous form of exercise.
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The second sentence points out that people should examine what they want from a fitness
routine before signing up for a new exercise class. There is no evidence to support choice a.
Choice c might sound reasonable due to the fact that the paragraph tells us that yoga has
become very popular, but this statement is not supported by the information provided in the
paragraph. Choices d and e are also not supported since the paragraph doesn't tell us
whether yoga is good for both body and mind or what people think about it.

is implicit in the statement.

12.
Statement: To investigate the murder of the lone resident of a flat, the police interrogated
the domestic servant, the watchman of the multi-storeyed buildings and the liftman.
Assumptions:
I.
II.
The domestic servant, watchman and the liftman can give a clue about the suspected
murder.
Generally in such cases the persons known to the resident are directly or indirectly
involved in the murder.
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Clearly, in such cases, the police interrogates the domestic servant, watchman and liftman to
work out the sequence of events just before the murder by tracing the persons who had come
to meet the victim. So, I is implicit However, it is erroneous to assume that persons known to
the victim are generally involved in the murder. So, II is not implicit.
13.
Statement: Money is the root cause of all the problems in a family.
Assumptions:
I.
II.
Every problem is caused by something.

There are always some problems in a family.
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The statement mentions the cause of family problems and does not deal with all the
problems. So, I is not implicit. Also, it is mentioned that money is the cause of family
problems. But this does not mean that problems always exist in a family. So, II is also not
implicit.
14.
Statement: "Two months ago, it was announced that Central Government pensioners would
get dearness relief with immediate effect but till date, banks have not credited the arrears." A statement from a Pensioners' Forum.
Assumptions:
I.
II.
Most of the banks normally take care of the pensioners.

Two months time is sufficient for the government machinery to move and give effect
to pensioners.
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
I is vague and so it is not implicit. The statement expresses grave concern over the
pensioners not having received clearness relief even two months after the implementation of
the policy. This implies that two months' time is sufficient and it's already too late. So, II is
implicit.

In each question below is given a statement followed by two courses of action numbered I and II.

the courses follow.

organisations from next Five Year Plan and has communicated that all such organisations

Courses of Action:
I.
II.
Voluntary organisations should collaborate with foreign agencies.

They should explore other sources of financial support.
A.
Only I follows
B.
Only II follows
C.
D.
E.
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The problem arising is shortage of funds. So, alternative sources of financial support need to
be worked out first. Thus, only course II follows.
17.
Statement: A very large number of students have failed in the final high school examination
due to faulty questions in one of the subjects.
Courses of Action:
I.
II.
All the students who have failed in the subject should be allowed to take
supplementary examination.
All those who are responsible for the error should be suspended and an enquiry
should be initiated to find out the facts.
A.
Only I follows
B.
Only II follows
C.
D.
E.
Answer: Option E
Explanation:
There being faulty questions in the examination paper is a blunder on the part of school
management and students should not be made to suffer on account of this. Thus, a re-test
should be organised for the students and those responsible for the error be penalised to
prevent reoccurrence of such mistake in the future. Hence, both the courses follow.
18.
Statement: Most of the development plans develop in papers only.
Courses of Action:
I.
II.

A.

B.
Only II follows
C.
D.
E.
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Clearly, proper supervision alone can see the development in practice. So, only course I
follows.

(E) If both I and II are strong.
19.
Statement: Should the educated unemployed youth be paid "unemployment allowance" by
the Government?
Arguments:
I.
II.
Yes. It will provide them some monetary help to either seek employment or to kickstart some 'self-employment' venture.
No. It will dampen their urge to do something to earn their livelihood and thus
promote idleness among the unemployed youth.
A.
Only argument I is strong
B.
Only argument II is strong
C.
Either I or II is strong
D.
Neither I nor II is strong
E.
Both I and II are strong
Answer: Option E
Explanation:
Young people, who do not get employment due to the large number of applicants in all fields,
must surely be given allowance so that they can support themselves. So, argument I is valid.
However, such allowances would mar the spirit to work, in them and make them idle. So,
argument II also holds.

In each question below is given a statement followed by three courses of action numbered I, II and
III. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then decide which of the three given
suggested courses of action logically follows for pursuing.
20.
Statement: Lack of coordination between the University, its colleges and various authorities
has resulted in students ousted from one college seeking migration to another.
Courses of Action:
I.
II.
III.
If a student is ousted from a college, the information should be sent to all the other
colleges of the University
The admissions to all the colleges of the University should be handled by the
University directly.
A separate section should be made for taking strict action against students indulging
in anti-social activities.
A.
Only I follows
B.
Only II follows
C.
Only III follows
D.
Only I and III follow
E.
Only II and III follow
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Clearly, the issue is not so big as to allot all powers of admissions to colleges, to the
University only. So, II does not follow. The problem can be solved by circulating the
information of the ousted students to all the colleges so as to ensure that such students do
not get admission elsewhere also. This might prove useful in rectifying such students. So, I
follows while III does not.
