It was Sunday on Jan 1, 2006. What was the day of the week Jan 1, 2010?

A
Sunday

B
Saturday

C
Friday

D

If MANSON is coded as 5 and BELIEVED is coded as 7, what will be coded for NEGOTIABLE?

A
7

B
9

C
6

D
10

Solution

As MANSON is a 6 letter word so its code is 6 – 1 = 5

Similarly BELIEVED is a 8 letter word and its code is 8 – 1 = 7

Based on a similar pattern NEGOTIABLE is a 10 letter word so its code is 10 – 1 = 9

Question 8
1 / -0.25

Direction: The question consists of two statements, an assertion (A) and a reason (R). Read both the statements and decide which of the following answer choice correctly depicts the relationship between these two statements.

Assertion(A): Stars twinkle while planets do not.

Reason (R):Stars emit their own light due to thermonuclear fusion.

A
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

B
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

C
(A) is true but (R) is false.

D
(A) is false but (R) is true.

Solution

Stars twinkle while planets do not because they are far away from Earth and appear as pinpoints of light. When light from a star enters Earth's atmosphere its direction changes due to refraction caused by various density and temperature layers of the atmosphere.

While planets are closer to Earth and appear as disks in the sky the affect of diffraction on their light is not much therefore they do not appear to twinkle. Therefore, Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Question 10
1 / -0.25

Direction: In the question given below, there is a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and assumptions and then decide which of the assumption(s) is/are implicit in the statement. You have to consider the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts.

Statement: Gambling through lotteries is banned by the central government in all the states with immediate effect.

Assumptions:

I. This may save innocent citizens from getting cheated of their hard-earned money.

II. The citizens may not gamble in any other way if the lotteries are banned.

A
If only Assumption I is implicit

B
If only Assumption II is implicit

C
If either Assumption I or II is implicit

D
If both Assumption I and II are implicit

Solution

As we see the statement, The central government order to ban gambling of lotteries because of cheating. The assumption I is implicit here because this true that innocent citizens get cheated by them and government moves are generally aimed at protecting the interests of the masses. The assumption II is not implicit here because of 'any other way'. There might be other means of gambling which the government does not consider significantly detrimental for the people. So, the assumption I is implicit here.
