Replace Bye by By.

All are correct.
Replace desicions by decisions.
Replace Traditionall by traditionally.
Replace forrests by forests.
substitute has for are.
replace should by will.
sale should come in place of selling
earned.
replace since with from.
Since is usually followed by a time expression ('last
year', 'this morning', '4 o'clock' etc) or by a clause in the
simple past tense. Use the present perfect or the past
perfect in the other clause. Use for when you state the
length of time that something has been or had been
happening. Ex: We have known each other for ten years
(NOT since ten years).

The colour of human blood is red. Here white means
red. Therefore white is our answer.
Do not opt for black because red means black implies
that black is called red.

Conclusion I is the conversion of first statement, hence
I follows. But II does not follow because A + A = A i.e.
All leaders are good orators but not vice versa.
A + A = A; i.e. All terrorists are human.
I does not follow. But II follows because it is conversion
of the first statement.

146. (a) From the above arrangements, M is to the immediate

right of D.
147. (c) From the above arrangements, T is second to the right
of M.
148. (d) From the above arrangements, P is second to the left of
D.
149. (e) From the above arrangements, P and R are the immediate
neighbours of A.
150. (e) From the above arrangements, in the following pairs, P
is immediate to the right of A.
151. (c) The elements move one side CW and two of the adjacent
elements interchange places alternately. The halfshaded circle rotates 90 CW, 180, 180, 90... and so
on. The quarter shaded circle rotates by 180 and 90
ACW.

17
152. (d) The whole figure rotates by 45 ACW in each step.
One and two arcs forming petals are added in alternate
steps. One arc is added on the ACW side.
153. (a) The half-shaded squares move one step ACW and
rotate by 90 ACW. A new square on the ACW side
gets shaded and its shading is 90 ACW to its
counterpart on the CW side.
154. (e) In each step a new arrow is added while the elements
rotate by 90 CW. The pre-existing elements shift in a
cyclic order.
155. (c) In each step one element remains static while other
three shift closer or away from the axis.

156. (d) From I: ja na pit sod = beautiful bunch of flowers

From II: na sod pa tok = huge bunch of twigs
Even using I & II together, we cant determine the code
of pit. It may be beautiful or flowers.
157. (e) From I: C > B > D From II: A > E > C
Combining both, we get, A > E > C > B > D
Hence, both statements together are necessary.

158. (b) From I: (A + C) > B > (E + D) We cant answer the

question on the basis of statement I. We need some
more information.
From II: C > A > (E + D) And C has the second position
in descending order of their salaries. Hence B is the
highest salary earner.
159. (d) From I: Ramakant _ _ _ Chandrakant Suresh
Hence, cannot be determined.
From II: Ramakant _ _ Suresh _ Naresh
Hence, cannot be determined.
The combination of both statements is not possible.
160. (a) From I: (171 2) = 5 girl students are taller than Samir
From II: (29 18) = 11 girl students are shorter than
Samir. But, from II alone it is not known how many girls
are there in the class.
