1. A point object starts from the origin of XY plane and moves in the south-easterly direction for 10 km. Then, it turns to the west and travels for a distance of 16 km. Then, it turns to the east and covers a distance of 10 km. How far is it from its original starting point? (A) 10 km due west (B) 10 km due east (C) 2 km due north (D) 2 km due east (E) 6 km due west Answer: D Explanation: The distance between the starting and ending points is 2 km.

2. If ÷ means +, × means ÷ , – means × and + means – then the value of 17– 10 + 8 ÷ 16 × 8 is (A) 110 (B) 108 (C) 102 (D) 170 (E) None of these Answer: B Explanation: 17 – 10 + 8 – 8 ÷ 16 × 8 = 17 × 10 – 8 × 8 + 16 ÷ 8 = 17 × 10 – 8 × 8 + 16/8 = 17 × 10 – 8 × 8 +2

= 170 – 64 + 2 = 172 – 64 = 108 Passage: In the following questions, the symbols ∆, ∇, &,% and π have the following meanings: (1) A ∆ B means A is not smaller than B. (2) A ∇ B means A is neither greater then nor smaller then B. (3) A & B means A is not greater than B. (4) A % B means A is neither smaller than nor equal to B. (5) A π B means A is neither greater than nor equal to B. Now, in each one of the following questions, assuming the given Statement to be true, find out which of the two Conclusions—I and II—given below them is/are definitely true. Give your answer as: (1) If only Conclusion I is true. (2) If only Conclusion II is true. (3) If either Conclusion I or Conclusion II is true. (4) If neither Conclusion I nor Conclusion II is true. (5) If both Conclusion I and Conclusion II are true. 3. F ∆ R, N & T, F π T (I) T %R (II) N ∇ F (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 4 (E) 5 Answer: A Explanation: F ∆ R, N & T, F π T ⇒ F T , F |> T ⇒ F ≥ R, N ≤ T, F < T Now, F ≥ R and F < T ⇒ R ≤ F and F < T

⇒ R ≤ F < T ⇒ R < T ⇒ T > R ⇒ ⇒ T % R (using the symbol) Hence, I is true. Now, N ≤ T and F < T We cannot devise any relationship between N and F from these two in equations. Hence, II is not true 4. D ∇ K , J ∆ M, K π M (I) D π M , (II) K π J (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 4 (E) 5 Answer: E Explanation: D ∇ K, J ∆ M, K π M ⇒ D = K , J |< M, K |≥ M ⇒ D = K, J ≥ M , K < M, Now, D = K and K< M ⇒ D |≥ M ⇒ D π M (using the symbol) Hence, I is true. Now J ≥ M and K < M ⇒ M ≤ J and K < M ⇒ K < M ≤ J ⇒ K < J ⇒ K |≥ J ⇒ K π J (using the symbol) Hence, II is true. 5. X & Y, Y π Z, D ∇ X

(I) X % Z (II) Y ∇ B (A) 1 (B) 2 (C) 3 (D) 4 (E) 5 Answer: D Explanation: X & Y, Y π Z, D ∇ X, ⇒ X |> Y, Y |≥ Z, D = X ⇒ X ≤ Y, Y < Z, D = X Now, X ≤ Y and Y< Z ⇒ X ≤ Y < Z ⇒ X < Ζ ⇒ X |≥ Z ⇒ X π Z (using the symbol) Hence, I is not true. Now, X ≤ Y and D = X ⇒ D ≤ Y ⇒ Y |< D ⇒ Y |< D ⇒ Y ∆ B (using the symbol) Hence, II is not true. 6. A rectangle shaped sheet of paper is folded along one of its central (vertical) axes. Then, four squares are cut out from the four corners of this folded sheet. Then, a triangle is cut from the right side of this folded sheet (in a V-shaped pattern).

(A) 8 : 3 (B) 12 : 1 (C) 1 : 12 (D) 6 : 1 (E) 1: 6 Answer: C Explanation: The area of one triangle is one sixth the total area of all triangles, i.e., the total area of the hexagon. One half of the area of each triangle is one twelfth of the total area 10. There are five executives in a company.
