Q2.
Directions: Study the following information and answer the questions.
Eight friends A,B,C,D,E,F,G and H are sitting around a circular table. Some are facing the centre while some are not facing the centre(ie in a direction opposite the centre).
G is not facing the centre. The immediate neighbors of H face opposite directions. E sits second to the right of F, who sits on the immediate left of A. Immediate neighbors of C face the same direction. A faces inside the circle and sits third to the left D. Only one person sits between D and H and that person is neither C nor G. E is not the immediate neighbor of C but both are facing opposite directions. B faces the same direction as F. B sits second to the right of C, who is on the immediate left of F. D sits second to the left of H.
Which of the following statements is/are true about B?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
B is an immediate neighbor of D and H
Q3.
Find the minimum number of straight lines required to make the given figure.
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
The figure may be labelled as shown.
The horizontal lines are AK, BJ, CI, DH and EG i.e. 5 in number.
The vertical lines are AE, LF and KG i.e. 3 in number.
The slanting lines are LC, CF, FI, LI, EK and AG i.e. 6 in number.
Thus, there are 5 + 3 + 6 = 14 straight lines in the figure.
Q4.
Directions :Questions in the form of inference/conclusions are based on the passages given below. Each passage is followed by five inferences. You are required to examine each inference separately in the context of the passage and decide upon its degree of truth or falsity.
Passage:
There is no disputing the fact that one part of globalization is the information revolution. But like all revolutions, this one has its winners and losers. Even on the Pacific Rim, home of so many economic “miracles”, the vast majority of people live on less than two dollars a day. That is what nearly half the world’s population subsists on, while the poorest 1.2 billion get by on less than one dollar. In the face of these grim realities, talk of a global information age takes on a perverse, ‘let them eat cake’ quality. What possible benefit could this “other half” derive from expanded web-based technology?
The notion that the internet will mainstream the world’s underprivileged fits a pattern of technological fantasy that reaches back at least to the mid-nineteenth century. A more immediate effect, unfortunately, has been an expanding communications gap between the rich and poor. With 90% of internet traffic in English, and native language skills eroding among non-Western internet addicts, 95% of the world’s Web users reside in developed countries. Only 0.08% of Latin Americans had Web access in 1999, which is double that of South Asia. In so far as rapid information flow translates into power, this great divide is integral to the knowledge-based and culturally driven geopolitics that Joseph S. Nye terms “soft power”.
With English as the main language in use over the internet, there is a concerted attempt by the English speaking Western powers to shape societies across the world according to themselves.
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
Q5. Six books, A, B, C, D, E and F are placed side by side. B, C and E have blue cover and the other books have red cover. Only D and F are new books and the rest are old. A, C and D are law reports and other are Gazetteers. What book is a new law report with a red colour?
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
Q6.
Directions: Study the following information and answer the questions.
Eight friends A,B,C,D,E,F,G and H are sitting around a circular table. Some are facing the centre while some are not facing the centre(ie in a direction opposite the centre).
G is not facing the centre. The immediate neighbors of H face opposite directions. E sits second to the right of F, who sits on the immediate left of A. Immediate neighbors of C face the same direction. A faces inside the circle and sits third to the left D. Only one person sits between D and H and that person is neither C nor G. E is not the immediate neighbor of C but both are facing opposite directions. B faces the same direction as F. B sits second to the right of C, who is on the immediate left of F. D sits second to the left of H.
Who among the following is fourth to the right of F?
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
D is fourth to the right of F.
Q7.
What is the number of straight lines and the number of triangles in the given figure.
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
The figure may be labelled as shown.
The Horizontal lines are DF and BC i.e. 2 in number.
The Vertical lines are DG, AH and FI i.e. 3 in number.
The Slanting lines are AB, AC, BF and DC i.e. 4 in number.
Thus, there are 2 + 3 + 4 = 9 straight lines in the figure.
Now, we shall count the number of triangles in the figure.
The simplest triangles are ADE, AEF, DEK, EFK, DJK, FLK, DJB, FLC, BJG and LIC i.e. 10 in number.
The triangles composed of two components each are ADF, AFK, DFK, ADK, DKB, FCK, BKH, KHC, DGB and FIC i.e. 10 in number.
The triangles composed of three components each are DFJ and DFL i.e. 2 in number.
The triangles composed of four components each are ABK, ACK, BFI, CDG, DFB, DFC and BKC i.e. 7 in number.
The triangles composed of six components each are ABH, ACH, ABF, ACD, BFC and CDB i.e. 6 in number.
There is only one triangle i.e. ABC composed of twelve components.
There are 10 + 10 + 2 + 7 + 6+ 1 = 36 triangles in the figure.
