1️⃣I. Some cakes are breads. ✅

II. Some breads are eggs. ❌

Since II and III are complementary statements (“Some breads are eggs” vs “No bread is an egg”), exactly one of them must be true.

✅ Answer: B) Conclusion I and either conclusion II or III follow.

2️⃣ I. All swords are knives. ❌

II. Some swords are axes. ✅

III. Some swords are saws. ✅

✅ Answer: A) Only conclusions II and III follow.

3️⃣ Observe the pattern carefully:

3 → 6 → 9 → 36 → 41 → ?

Pattern alternates between:

Step by step:

✅ Answer: C) 246

4️⃣Alphabet positions:

W = 23
Y = 25
B = 2
F = 6
K = 11
Q = 17
X = 24

Skipped letters:

W to Y → 1 letter skipped
Y to B → 2 letters skipped
B to F → 3 letters skipped
F to K → 4 letters skipped
K to Q → 5 letters skipped
Q to X → 6 letters skipped

So the skipped letters increase by one each time.

✅ Answer: B) WYBFKQX

5️⃣Correct answer: B) ADBEC

Reason:

Clockwise order: A D B E C

So the correct sitting order is ADBEC.

6️⃣RAMA → 181131

Use alphabet positions:

R = 18
A = 1
M = 13
A = 1

So RAMA = 18 1 13 1 → 181131

Now KRISHNA:

K = 11
R = 18
I = 9
S = 19
H = 8
N = 14
A = 1

KRISHNA = 11 18 9 19 8 14 1
= 11189198141

Answer: D) 11189198141

7️⃣Aarav has 2 sons: Bharat and Kunal.

Now, Meera’s paternal aunt = her father Bharat’s sister.

Since Aarav must have at least one daughter (because someone calls him maternal grandfather), Bharat has at least one sister.

Therefore, Meera has at least 1 paternal aunt.

✅ Correct Answer: B) 1

8️⃣Frenzy = wild excitement/confusion

Therefore, the synonym of lucid is cogent.

9️⃣ The sentence is in Present Perfect Continuous Tense:

“Rohit has been learning guitar for 5 years.”

Sentences in Present Perfect Continuous tense generally do not have a proper passive voice form in standard English usage.

So the correct answer is:

✅ D) Voice change is not possible.

🔟Start point = O

Finally, he is to the East and North of the starting point.

Answer: C) North-east

1️⃣1️⃣25th August 2012 = Saturday

From 25th August 2011 to 25th August 2012:

So the day moves forward by 2 days:

Thursday → Friday → Saturday

Therefore:

25th August 2011 was Thursday.

✅ Answer: B) Thursday
