Solutions

S7 Ans.(c):
Sol. PLAN

Solutions (11-15):
S11 Ans.(d)
Sol.
I. B ≥ W – False
II. M < B – False
So, neither I nor II follows.

S12 Ans.(d)
Sol.
I. S > J – False
II. H < J – False
So, neither I nor II follows.

S13 Ans.(a):
Sol.
I. B > K – True
II. T > K – False.
So, only conclusion I follows.

S14 Ans.(b):
Sol.
I. D ≤ Y – False
II. D < Z – True.
So, only conclusion II follows.

S15 Ans.(b):
Sol.
I. K > F – False
II. S ≤ F – True.
So, only conclusion II follows.
