1) Answer (A)

“Mounting subventions for subsidies means diversion of savings by the government from investment to consumption, raising the cost of capital in the process.”

According to the above lines of the author we can say that the subsidy given will increase the cost of the capital. Hence, answer will be A

2) Answer (B)

Clearly we can see according to the argument, statement I is weakening whereas statement II is supporting. Hence, option B is the answer.

3) Answer (A)

The writer clearly states in the last part of her statement, that she should or should not be inclined to call her wise. So, the only option that reflects the intention is inference I. hence, option A is correct.

Instructions:Which of the following if true, most seriously weakens the argument above?

4) Answer (E)

Delhi and Allahabad are in the same vertical line. Cochin is 150 kms East of Delhi while Bombay is 150 kms East of Allahabad. So, Bombay is 120 kms North of Cochin.

5) Answer (A)

He took 3 left turns and one right turn which is effectively 2 left turns. So, from North he ends up facing South.

6) Answer (E)

A is a male married to M => M is female
Y is a male married to N => N is female
P is son/daughter of A and M
H is mother/father of A and Y
S is mother-in-law of H
H can be grandmother or grandfather of P => Option E

7) Answer (D)

D x L means D is father of L
L – K means L is sister of K
K + R means K is brother of R
Therefore, L, K and R are children of D and D is father of K and K is son of D
Hence, correct option is D

8) Answer (B)

2 = 1*2
The next number in the sequence should be 2*3 = 6
24 = 6*4
120 = 24*5
So the correct option to choose is B – 6.

9) Answer (A)

$6 = 2+ 1*2^2$
$24 = 6 +2*3^2$
$72 = 24 + 3*4^2$
$172 = 72 + 4*5^2 $
So the next number in this sequence should be $172 + 5*6^2 = 352$
So the correct option to choose is A – 352.

10) Answer (C)

3072 = (98304/32)
128 = (3072/24)
8 =(128/16)
So the next number in this sequence should be 8/8 = 1.
So the correct option to pick is C – 1.
