4) 23rd 

5) 25th

Answer:-

1. (4); (A) is the standard procedure in such cases.

(B) is likely to draw students to schools.
But (C) is a negative action.

2. (3); (A) follows because such a clause would act as a deterrent to inferior standard of construction. (B) is an obvious course of action.
(C) does not follow because it is tantamount to shying away from the real problem.

3. (3); Going for (A) or (B) is running away from responsibility.
(C) follows as this will help check further cases of infection.

4. (5); (B) is the course of action that should be taken.

5. (4); (A) would put an end to the current round of encroachment.
(B) would act as a deterrent.
(C) is the ultimate preventive step.

6. (2); Check options one by one.
1) F = B > P >= M Thus, F > P or P < F is true. Hence does not follow.
2) P > B >= M = F This leads us to P > F is true. Hence P < F is false. Hence 2) follows.
3) P <= B < F >= M This leads us to P < F is true. Hence does not follow.
4) B < P ? M < F This leads us to P < F is true. Hence does not follow.

7. (2);

Hence, S is cousin of P.

8. (5); If we put >, then, there is contradiction that S > M means S is daughter of M but we have S is the husband of R. Again, if we put <, then also it contradicts the statement.

Now, we put +. Then we get,

Hence, M is either grandmother or
grandfather of F.

9. (4); Check options one by one.
1) M < R > P <= S We can’t compare M and P. Hence does not follow.
2) M <= S = P < F This leads to M ? P. Hence does not follow.
3) Q < M < F = P This leads to M < P. Hence, does not follow.
4) P = A < R < M This leads to P < M is true. Hence follows.

10. (2); Kevin’s rank from the top = (16 + 7) = 23rd
Now Kevin’s rank from the bottoms = (42 – 23 + 1) = 20th
