Solutions

Solutions (1-3):
S1. Ans. (a)
Sol. I. O > M – True
II. O ≥ N – False

S2. Ans. (d)
Sol. I. L < K – False
II. C > J – False

S3. Ans. (c)
Sol. I. N> M – False
II. N ≤ M – False

Solutions (4-5):
S4. Ans. (e)
Sol. I. C < R – True
II. T > N – True

S5. Ans. (d)
Sol. I. K > O – False
II. J < L – False

S6. Ans. (d)
Sol. Given number – 723866267
After operation – 935977379
Descending order – 999777533
1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th digits from left end = 9, 9, 7 and 5 respectively.
Thus, required sum = 9 + 9 + 7 + 5 = 30. Hence, 30 is the correct answer.

S9. Ans. (a)
Sol. Given word – BEGINNING
1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 8th & 9th letter – B, E, I, N, N and G respectively
Only one meaningful letter word can be formed i.e., BENIGN

S10. Ans. (a)
Sol. Given word – CONDITIONER
2nd, 4th, 8th, 9th & 11th letter – O, D, O, N and R respectively
Hence, one meaningful word formed – DONOR
So, 3rd letter of the word – N
