169. 4; No bird is black + Some blacks are sparrows = E + I = 0* = Some sparrows are not birds.
This does not lead us to Conclusion
All peacocks are birds + No bird is black = A + E = E = No peacock is black. Hence II is simply
ruled out.
170.5; Both the possibilities exist as we don't have any negative statements.
171. 4; I is contradicted by the second statement and II by the third statement.
172. I; I follows by combining all the three statements. But II does not follow because we don't
know if All high are mountains.
173. 5; Check for (1):
K> M < S ≤ N< R ≥ D ≤ L
Comparison of Rand L is not possible
So, (I) is not true.

Combining Combining
M>N R<L
Thus , this expressions is also not true for the given expressions.
Check for (3)

Combining
 R≤L
So, this is also not true.
Check for (4);
K≥M≥S≥N<R<D≤L

M≥N R<L
So, this expression is also not true for the given expressions
174. 3; Check for (1):
X>U≥Z>V<T≤W
Combining
X>U≥Z>V<W

We can’t compare Z and W from this expression.

So, (1) is not true
Now, check for (2):
X>U≥Z=V=T≤W

Combining
X>U≥Z≤W

Z ≤ W So, (2) is not true.

Check for (3);
X>U≥Z=V<T≤W

Combining Combining
X>Z+V<W
So, X > V and Z < W, Therefore, (3) is true.
Check for (4):
X>U≥Z>V=T≤W

X>U≥Z>V≤W
 Comparision is not possible. So, (4) is not true.

Check for (5) :

X>U≥Z≥V≤T≤W

Combining

X>U≥Z≥V≤W

Comparison is not possible. So, (5) is not true.

175. 2; Check for (1):

X=Z=W≤T<Y≥R>V

Combining
W<Y
So, (1) is not true.
Check for (2);

X≤Z<Y=W≥R>V

Combining Combining

X<Y=W>V

So, this expression is true.

Check for (3):

X≥Z+Y >W<R>V

So the given expression is not true.

Check for (4);

X–Z>Y≥W–R>V

X>Y≥W=R>V

So, this expressions is also false.

176. 4;; I is not implicit as nothing is said about the availability of quality home tutors.
II is also not implicit as 'best' is too strong a word to be used for the assumption.
177. 1; I is implicit as the word 'despite' is used in the statement.
II is not implicit as telephone services may get disrupted in any season but are more likely to be
so in rains.
178, 1; I is implicit, as notices are issued with an assumption that they would be read
and followed.
II is not implicit.
179. 1; I is obviously implicit, that is why such kind of marketing strategy has been
developed and such an advertisement is issued. II is not implicit because we are not
being told that only cab X has these features.
180.2; I is not implicit. Team can be formed. hence the need to create it.
II is implicit as misconceptions always stand on the ground of little knowledge.
181. 4; I follows as it is a constructive and practical step to deal with the problem of
disobeying the traffic rules.
II also follows as it will reduce the cases of traffic violation.
182. 1; I follows because notices will help motorists to take extra precaution and that
will improve the situation.
does not follow as it is not practical to close all the parts of the road immediately and start the
repair work. The repair work should be carried during lean hours.
183. 1; I follows as it is a precautionary step and will at least reduce the chances of any
unwanted situation.
II does not follow as it is not a practical action.
184. 4; I follows. Load-shedding has to be resorted to in such a situation.
11 follows as appeal to minimise the use is beneficial for both the authorities as well as the
people.
185. 2; I does not follow as these criminals need not be related with the robberies.
II follows as precautionary steps are always welcome.
186. 3; From I Riya is the mother of Rajesh. So, Omprakash is the grandfather of
Rejesh.
From II Seema is the cousin of Sanjana. So, their husbands, Omprakash and Rajesh, are
brothers-in-law.
187. 3; From I Total number of students in the class = (18 + 34 - I) = 51
So, Anu's rank from the bottom = 52 - 14 = 38th
Hence, I alone is sufficient.
From II Here also, the strength of the class is given. So, Anu's rank from the bottom. = (51 -14) =
37th.
188. 5; From I Possible days are Wednesday and Thursday.
From II Possible days are Tuesday and Wednesday.
189. 3; From I, Prem is facing North-east.
N
135˚
W E
S
From II . Prem is facing East
190. 5; From I Sur/Gaj

Anil Kunal

Gaj/Sur
Hence I alone is not sufficient

From II Sur

Anil Kunal

Hence II alone is also not sufficient

Combining I and II Surendra

Anil Kunal

Gajendra
Hence Gajendra sita on the immediate left of Kunal.
191. I; In alternate steps, the upper four elements shift one step CW, while the lower
two interchange positions.
192.4; Elements move from left box to upper right ~ lower right ~ upper le ft ~ lower
left ~ right box in subsequent steps. A new element appears in each step in the left box.
193. I; The central and the two corner elements rotate by 90° CW, while the other two
remain unchanged. This rotation moves one side Cw.
194.4; Follow the movement of each element separately.
195. 3; The pin rotates by 45° ACW, 45° ACW, 90° CW, 45° ACW, subsequently and
moves two steps ACW. The element T moves diagonally. For others, follow if I = 4, 2 =
5 then 3 = 6 rule.
196. 1; In every step
½, ½, 1 ½, 1 ½, 2 ½ sectors get shaded.
The shading moves clockwise.
197. 4; The inner element gets enlarged and becomes the outer element while the outer
element gets reduced in size and moves inside in alternate steps, while the set of
elements moves one side ACW in each step.
198. 4; From figure I to II, the elements of the upper pair interchange places. So do
those of the lower pair. The extreme left and the extreme right elements also
interchange their places, while the other two are replaced by new OD<;S.
199. 2: .the middle figure changes its shading for comer elements. The elements follow
if I = 5 then 2 = 6 rule.
200. 2; Upper-left element is always replaced by a new one.

ENGLISH

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below it, certain words/have been
printed in bold to help you locate them while answer some of the questions.
 The debate continues as on the one hand we talk of grand conversion, of making IT a
way of life and on the other there exist barriers like illiteracy, language and poverty. Doesn’t IT
create a new chasm between a new kind of haves and have-nots? IT itself has the power not only
to bridge new divide, but also some traditional ones too. What we need is judicious use of
existing technology. But how could these divides be bridged? First, we must make arrangements
for community access to computers because everybody can’t have one. Then we have to develop
more and more vernacular softwares. There has to be more information in Indian languages on
the net. The next- to – speech software should be diversified into many Indian languages. So, that
illiteracy doesn’t become a barrier in the way of using computers. Besides keeping domestic
market in mind, we are developing softwares for smaller firms, because India doesn’t have too
many big companies.

And all this is not far from happening. Many of these things have already started and next
couple of years is going to see a grand transformation. Seven or eight years from now, IT will be
a very common phenomenon, a part and parcel of the society. Because it’s not IT by itself. It’s in
fact just a medium, a facilitator to use in best possible manner. Experiments have already started all
over the country. The farmers in a village are e-connected to the district headquarters. They have all the
information about the mandi rates all over the country. A village in Himachal Pradesh is connected to
AIIMS to get best of health care and 'e-Seva' in some districts works as a one-stop shop for depositing all
your household bills. There are many other experiments and they are bound to increase.

The scope is immense. From improving education and healthcare to making the system
more transparent, weeding out corruption and improving overall governance. While working as
per the requirement of domestic market, we also need to be conscious about the reputation of
Indian IT industry world over. We are working to diversify both marketwise and area-wise.
Indian softwares are popular, but we want to establish the Indian Brand as La French wine or
Swiss watches.

53. Who can be denoted as 'we' in the context of the passage?
I) The speaker
2)The speaker and the public
3)A software team

54. What is TRUE in the context of the passage?
I) IT will do little for the have-nots.
2)A revolution is on the horizon.
3)We need software in regional languages.
4)Corruption is the bane of IT.
