(C) If neither I nor II followsIf neither I nor II follows ✓ [Official Key]

(D) If only conclusion II followsIf only conclusion II follows

Correct Answer: Option (C) — If neither I nor II followsIf neither I nor II follows

Explanation:

From 'All poles are guns' and 'Some boats are not poles', we cannot conclude that all guns are boats (I does not follow). Nor can we definitively conclude that some boats are not guns (as all boats could potentially be inside guns while outside poles). Therefore, neither follows.

(B) Wednesdayबुधवार

(C) Mondayसोमवार ✓ [Official Key]

(D) Saturdayशनिवार

(E) None of the aboveउपर्युक्त में से कोई नहीं

Correct Answer: Option (C) — MondayMonday

Explanation:

The year 2001 is a normal (non-leap) year consisting of 365 days, which equals 52 complete weeks plus 1 odd day (365 = 52 * 7 + 1). Therefore, in an ordinary year, the first day of the year (Jan 1) and the last day of the year (Dec 31) are always the identical day of the week. Since Jan 1, 2001 was Monday, Dec 31, 2001 was also Monday.

वर्ष 2001 एक सामान्य (साधारण) वर्ष है जिसमें 365 दिन (52 सप्ताह + 1 दिन) होते हैं। किसी भी साधारण वर्ष का प्रथम दिन (1 जनवरी) और अंतिम दिन (31 दिसंबर) सदैव समान दिन होता है। अतः यदि 1 जनवरी को सोमवार था, तो 31 दिसंबर को भी सोमवार ही होगा (विकल्प C)।

डिकोडिंग: महिला कह रही है 'मेरे पिता की इकलौती बेटी' = स्वयं वह महिला। वाक्य बनता है: 'उस पुरुष की माँ [स्वयं मैं] हूँ'। अतः वह पुरुष उस महिला का बेटा (Son) है (विकल्प B)।

Explanation:

Given statements: 1. Mukesh is taller than Suresh but shorter than Rakesh -> Rakesh > Mukesh > Suresh. 2. Rakesh is taller than Harish but shorter than Amar -> Amar > Rakesh > Harish. Combining them, we know: Amar > Rakesh, and Rakesh is taller than Mukesh, Suresh, and Harish. However, there is no comparison given between Harish and Mukesh or Suresh. Thus, either Suresh or Harish could be the shortest, and it cannot be determined uniquely.

दिए गए संबंध: 1. राकेश > मुकेश > सुरेश 2. अमर > राकेश > हरीश दोनों से स्पष्ट है कि अमर > राकेश, और राकेश मुकेश, सुरेश तथा हरीश तीनों से लंबा है। परंतु हरीश और सुरेश के बीच तुलनात्मक लंबाई का कोई उल्लेख नहीं है। अतः सबसे छोटा कौन है (सुरेश या हरीश), यह निर्धारित नहीं किया जा सकता (विकल्प D)।

Explanation:

Total time = 2 hours 20 minutes = 2 × 60 + 20 = 140 minutes. The minute hand of a clock moves 360° in 60 minutes, which is 6° per minute. Angular distance = 140 × 6° = 840°.

कुल समय = 2 घंटे 20 मिनट = 120 + 20 = 140 मिनट। मिनट की सुई 1 मिनट में 6° का कोण बनाती है (360°/60 = 6°)। कोणीय दूरी = 140 × 6° = 840°।

(A) SEGATNAVADSEGATNAVAD

(B) AVDATNSEGAAVDATNSEGA ✓ [Official Key]

(C) AVDATASEGNAVDATASEGN

(D) NAVDASEGATNAVDASEGAT

Correct Answer: Option (B) — AVDATNSEGAAVDATNSEGA

Explanation:

Word: C-O-M-P-U-T-R-O-N-E (10 letters). Pattern: Split into first 4, middle 2, and last 4 letters: 1. First 4 'COMP' reversed -> 'PMOC' 2. Middle 2 'UT' reversed -> 'TU' 3. Last 4 'RONE' reversed -> 'ENOR' Combined: PMOCTUENOR. Applying same to A-D-V-A-N-T-A-G-E-S: 1. First 4 'ADVA' reversed -> 'AVDA' 2. Middle 2 'NT' reversed -> 'TN' 3. Last 4 'AGES' reversed -> 'SEGA' Result: AVDATNSEGA.

कूट का नियम: 10 अक्षरों को 4-2-4 के समूह में बाँटकर प्रत्येक समूह को उल्टे क्रम में लिखा गया है: 1. पहले 4 अक्षर 'ADVA' का उल्टा = 'AVDA' 2. मध्य 2 अक्षर 'NT' का उल्टा = 'TN' 3. अंतिम 4 अक्षर 'AGES' का उल्टा = 'SEGA' अतः अभीष्ट कूट 'AVDATNSEGA' (विकल्प B) होगा।

Q716. A man said to a lady, "Your mother's husband's sister is my aunt (Bua)." How is the lady related to the man ?

प्रश्न 716. एक आदमी ने एक महिला से कहा, “तुम्हारी माँ के पति की बहन मेरी बुआ है ।” वह महिला उस आदमी से किस प्रकार संबंधित है ?

(A) Daughterपुत्री

(B) Grand daughterपोती

(C) Motherमाँ

(D) Sisterबहन ✓ [Official Key]

Correct Answer: Option (D) — SisterSister

Explanation:

Lady's mother's husband = Lady's father. Lady's father's sister = Lady's aunt (Bua). Since this same woman is also the man's aunt (Bua), both share the same father/paternal aunt. Hence, the lady is the man's sister.

महिला की माँ का पति = महिला का पिता। पिता की बहन = महिला की बुआ। वह आदमी कहता है कि वह महिला की बुआ ही उसकी भी बुआ है। अतः दोनों के पिता एक ही हैं, इसलिए वह महिला उस आदमी की 'बहन' (Sister) है।

18 फरवरी 2005 से 18 फरवरी 2007 के बीच 2 सामान्य वर्ष (2005 और 2006) आते हैं। प्रत्येक सामान्य वर्ष में 1 विषम दिन होता है। अतः $1 + 1 = 2$ विषम दिन आगे बढ़ने पर: शुक्रवार + 2 दिन = रविवार।
