MODEL QUESTIONS
Directions (Q.No. 1-5): Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions.
A word and number arrangement machine when given an input line of words and numbers rearranges them following a particular rule in each step. The following is an illustration of input and rearrangement.
Input: 43 movement avoidance 85 65 forces radar 24 78 28 position submit 10 severe
Step 1: submit 43 movement avoidance 65 forces radar 24 78 28 position 10 severe 85
Step II: severe submit 43 movement avoidance 65 forces radar 24 28 position 10 85 78
Step III: radar severe submit 43 movement avoidance forces 24 28 position 10 85 78 65
Step IV: position radar severe submit movement avoidance forces 24 28 10 85 78 65 43
Step V: movement position radar severe submit avoidance forces 24 10 85 78 65 43 28
Step VI: forces movement position radar severe submit avoidance 10 85 78 65 43 28 24
Step VII: avoidance forces movement position radar severe submit 85 78 65 43 28 24 10
Step VII is the last step of the above input. As per the rules followed in the above steps, find out in each of the following questions, the appropriate step for the given input.

   Conclusion: I. L>H   II. M>Q
8.   Statements: X=P ³C < M, K > X
   Conclusion: I. K > C   II. K < M
9.   Statements: A > Y³Z, P=A, P£L
   Conclusion: I. L > Z   II. Z < A

SOLUTIONS:
(1-5):
In step I, the word that comes last in alphabetical order takes the first position; the largest number takes the last position. In step II the word that comes second from last alphabetically takes the first position; the second largest number goes to the last and so on.
Input: 38 known disregard 95 62 fact with 14 68 29 variance zone
Step I. zone 38 known disregard 62 fact with 14 68 29 variance 95
Step II. with zone 38 known disregard 62 fact 14 29 variance 95 68
Step III. variance with zone 38 known disregard fact 14 29 95 68 62
Step IV. known variance with zone disregard fact 14 29 95 68 62 38
Step V. fact known variance with zone disregard 14 95 68 62 38 29
Step VI. disregard fact known variance with zone 95 68 62 38 29 14
1. 5    2. 3   3. 4    4. 5   5. 2
6.   4

X and S cannot be compared. Hence, neither I nor II follows.
7.   2
   H > M < L
Hence, H and L cannot be compared.
M>Q. Hence, Conclusion II is true
8.   1

Hence, K > C. So, conclusion I is true. K and M cannot be compared. So, conclusion II is not true.
9.   5

Hence, L > Z. Conclusion I is true.
Hence, A>Z. Conclusion II is also true.
10.   4

Hence, conclusion I is not true.

Hence, conclusion II is not true.
(11-15):
•   cricket is interesting game → la ni ki chu ...(i)
•   cricket team have eleven players → tic ra la dha da ...(ii)
•   team India play fair game → su tic va yi chu...(iii)
• India eleven is powerful → ju ki su da ...(iv)
From (i) and (ii), cricket → la
From (i) and (iii), game → chu
From (ii) and (iv), eleven → da
From (iii) and (iv), India → su
From (i) and (iv), is → ki
Now, from (iv), powerful → ju
From (i), interesting → ni
From (ii) and (iii), team → tic
So, from (iii), play fair → va yi
From (ii), have player → ra dha
