In all others, we have
1st element +2 = 2nd element; and
1st element -2 = 3rd element.
14. (5);
Each corresponding elements is obtained by moving one place forward in the given arrangement.
Hence we get * M K.
15. (1);
22 (2 + 6) = 14th element from left after dropping the symbols.
16. (5);
B > F, P < R, M = F, M < P
Combining these, we get
B > F = M < P < R B > M I follows
M < R II follows.
17. (4);
E<H>P
No relationship can be established between E and P. Hence I does not follow. II is a restaurant.
18. (1);
M < N, R = Q, A > Q, M > R
Combining these, we get
A > Q = R < M < N;
A > R I follows.
N > Q II does not follow

B < D, E < T, T > P, P > B

Combining these, we get

E<T>P>B<D
No relationship can be established between P and D.
But I and II are complementary pairs.
20. (4);
P < Q, N = M, M > R, R > P
Combining these, we get
N=M>R>P<Q
P < N I does not follow
Q and M cant be related. Hence II does not follow.
21. (1);
Some books are pencils + All pencils are papers = I + A = I = Some books are papers. Hence II does not
follow but I follows by converting this.
22. (5);
All tables are cars (A) implication Some tables are cars (I). Hence II follows. I follows by converting II.
23. (3);
I + I = No Conclusion. However, the two Conclusions form a complementary I-E pair.
24. (5);
All maths are reasoning + All reasoning are vocabulary = A + A = A = All maths are vocabulary. Hence II
follows and I followed by converting this.
25. (2);
Some articles are prepositions + No preposition is a verb = I + E = O = Some articles are not verbs. Hence
I does not follow. II follows by converting the second statements.
