S1 Correct option is (A).

S1 Correct option is (C).
Total faculty members = 150
mock, deride and jeer’ are synonyms which means mockery.
The faculty members having facebook account = FB = 55
Therefore, the odd one is ‘praise’
The faculty members having whatsapp = W = 85
The faculty members do not have face book (or) Whats
Q4 Pick the odd one from the following options.
App accounts = 30
(A) CADBE (B) JHKIL

The number of faculty members connected only through
Facebook accounts
= 55 − 20
= 35

In options (A), (B) and (C), the letters skipped between

consecutive pair of letters in the English alphabet is in
increasing order (i,e) A and B, H and I and V and W but
in option (D) N and M are present instead of M and N so,
option (D) is odd one from the group.
