Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (B)

SUPER and SUDI have SU in common thus SU is coded 43 and thus, DI is coded 07 and PER is coded 521.
Thus, the code for PRIDE can be any combination of 52107.
Among the given options only option B uses all of 52107.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.

2) Answer (A)

Statement I is correct and can be inferred and concluded from fact 1 and fact 3. Statement II is incorrect as no definitive proof of the information is given in any of the 3 fats presented. Statement III is incorrect as although facts state that India generates most revenue for cricket, it does not state that no other sport is as popular in India as cricket.

Thus option A is the correct answer.

3) Answer (D)

The first course of action seems reasonable and viable as it may reduce the losses being incurred by the small city airports. The second course of action seems unfeasible as the loss of money can be due to various factors and shutting down the airport is not a good option as it has other benefits as well. The third course of action seems viable and reasonable as it will help reduce the losses being incurred by the airports in general.

Thus option D is the correct answer.

4) Answer (A)

The first course of action seems reasonable and feasible. The second course of action is not feasible because it is ethically wrong and may be a legal offence. The third course of action is not feasible as the task of finding accommodation is not the employer’s responsibility.

Thus option A is the correct answer.

5) Answer (B)

The first course of action is not feasible as no one is forcing the customers to choose the alternative. The second course of action seems feasible as it addresses the concerns of the drivers. The third action also seems beneficial to the situation as it is given that the primary competition to the autos are the app-based cab companies. However, the third action is an assumption and not an inference. Therefore only the second action seems responsible enough for the auto drivers to take to counter the problem.

Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

6) Answer (B)

The case has to be made for reservation for women in the parliament. To make the case for this, we need to show that the current system is under-representing women. To argue against it, we need to show that the current level of representation is fair.

I is not a strong argument because even if there are a few female lawmakers, they can adequately form laws dealing with women’s issues. Thus, we don’t need reservations for women as long as there are at least a few female lawmakers.

II is a strong argument because it shows that women are under-represented.
III is a weak argument because if equal support leads to unfair levels of representation then the case for reservation is not weakened.

7) Answer (C)

Most of the times, companies working in the same sector target the same group of customers. So, this cannot be a strong argument in favour of the merger. Thus, arguments I and II are weak.
III is a strong argument because this is a valid reason for a merger. If both the companies are facing stiff competition from a third company, they should merge to face the competition together. Also, the merger will make them the largest company in the sector and both will be mutually benefited.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.

8) Answer (E)

Option A is incorrect, as there is no mention of the increase or decrease of the profits

Option B is incorrect, sentence 1 mentions that app-based businesses have become the staple diet but it never mentions that the result is alienating of other businesses.

Option C is incorrect, sentence 1 mentions that app-based businesses have become the staple diet but it never mentions that the result is decline in the profit of the established business houses.

Option D is incorrect, although this statement might seem true, the passage nowhere mentions the affect that the app-based businesses have had on the market demand for various professionals.

Option E is correct, as inferred from the last sentence.

9) Answer (B)

Option A is incorrect, as inferred from sentence 2.

Option C is incorrect, as advertising is not one of the reasons cited in sentence 2 for the failure of the program.

Option D is incorrect, as there is no mention of religion or people’s beliefs in the paragraph.

Option E is incorrect, as sentence 2 provides a lot of data for the reason for lack of success of the program.

Option B is correct, as given in the last two sentences.
