Solutions

S1. Ans. (c)
Sol. From either statement I or II we get, “chess most success” is coded as “pq, ab, lm”. Hence, the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.

S2. Ans. (c)
Sol.

Hence, from either statement I or II alone, we can get the direction of F with respect to B.

S3. Ans. (d)
Sol. From the given statements we can’t determine the answer. Hence, the data given in statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

S4. Ans. (e)
Sol. From statement I and II together:

Hence, the data in statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

S5. Ans. S(a)
Sol. From statement I alone:

Hence, the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

S6. Ans. (b)
Sol. From statement II alone:
The code for “Difficult examination pattern” is “opq stu mno”.
Hence, the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

S7. Ans. (b)
Sol. From statement II alone: X > S > U > _ > _ > _ > _
Hence, the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

S8. Ans. (d)
Sol. From the given statements we can’t determine the answer. Hence, the data given in statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

S9. Ans. (c)
Sol. Given number – 36985247
After operation – 17793355
So; 3, 5 and 7 are the repeated numbers.

S10. Ans. (c)
Sol.
