Friday – Research methods
Saturday – Off day D and F sit on the extreme end of the row
Sunday- Economics 9. Ans. C
2. Ans. C The sitting arrangement will be:
Monday – Organisational Behaviour
Tuesday- Psychology
Wednesday- Statistics
The position of only C remains unchanged.
Thursday- Computer Science
10. Ans. E
Friday – Research Methods
Saturday – Off day The sitting arrangement will be:
Sunday- Economics
3. Ans. A
Monday – Organisational Behaviour
All others except DE are seated according in the

order whereas others are seated in reverse order.
Wednesday- Statistics
Thursday- Computer Science 11. Ans. D
Friday – Research Methods All desks are tables conversion Some
Saturday – Off day
tables are desks At least some tables are
Sunday- Economics
4. Ans. E desks. Therefore, conclusion I follows. Again, All
desks are tables + Some tables are chairs = A + I
Monday – Organisational Behaviour
= No conclusions. But, a relationship between
Tuesday- Psychology
‘desk’ and ‘chair’ exists. Therefore, ‘Some desks

being chairs is a possibility’ i.e. conclusion II
Thursday- Computer Science
follows.
Friday – Research Methods
Saturday – Off day 12. Ans. C
Sunday- Economics Some books are diaries (I) → conversion → Some
5. Ans. B diaries are books (I) + No book is library = I + E =
O = Some diaries are no libraries. Therefore neither
Monday – Organisational Behavior
conclusion I nor conclusion II follows. But both
Tuesday- Psychology
conclusions from I – E type of complementary pair.
Wednesday- Statistics
Therefore, either conclusion I or II follows.
Thursday- Computer Science
Friday – Research Methods 13. Ans. B
Saturday – Off day No bank is a school (E) + Some schools are colleges
Sunday- Economics (I) =E+I =O* = Some colleges are not bank. It
means All banks being colleges is a possibility.
6. Ans. D
Hence, conclusion II follows. But conversion of 2nd
The sitting arrangement will be: statement does not lead to conclusion I.
14. Ans. D
Some calculators are phones (I) + No phone is an
B’s position with respect to E is third to the right. eraser (E) = I + E = O = Some calculators are not
7. Ans. E erasers.
The sitting arrangement will be: Neither conclusion I nor II follows.
15. Ans. E
No train is aeroplane + All aeroplanes are buses =
E + A = O* = Some buses are not trains. Therefore,

conclusion I does not follow. Again, Allaeroplanes

are buses conversion Some buses are
aeroplanes At least some buses are
aeroplanes. Therefore, conclusion II follows.
16. Ans. B

19. Ans. D
9th to the left of 18th from the left = (18 – 9 =) 9th
from the left = S
20. Ans. B
There is only one odd number that is 9.
21. Ans. E
4

In all others, the second element comes three
17. Ans. D positions after the first in the given arrangement.
24. Ans. A
The pattern of alphabets is as: 312 (for example
CAB) next word starts with the preceded alphabet
of 1 in last word. As T is preceded alphabet of U, Q
is preceded alphabet of Q, N is preceded alphabet
of O, similarly K will be preceded alphabet of L,
hence ? = KIJ (312)
25. Ans. E

26. Ans. B

18. Ans. C

27. Ans. D
CDF, CD are in continuous way (E is missing) F
DEG, D comes after C, DE are in continuous way
(F is missing) G
EGH, E comes after D, EF are in continuous way
(G is missing) H
Similarly Next word will start from F (F comes
after E)
