Solutions

Solution (1-5):
S1. Ans. (b)
Sol. From statement I alone:
L > I > K > J > M > N
Hence, data given in statement I alone is sufficient to answer.

S2. Ans. (d)
Sol. From both statements, we can’t get the answer. So, data given in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer.

S4. Ans. (a)
Sol. From statement I and II together, we find that “acquire” is coded as “cp”. So, data given in both statements I and II together are sufficient to answer.

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

S9. Ans. (c)
Sol. From statement II alone:
P/N > N/P > Q > O > M
Hence, data given in statement II alone is sufficient to answer.

S10. Ans. (d)
Sol. From statement I, II, and III we get the code for ‘remote action’ as ‘nr mo’. Hence, Data given in all three statements I, II and III are together sufficient to answer.
