In a certain code, ‘always go with ideas’ is written as ‘ba ri dib gi’, ‘ideas and with approach’ is written as ‘ta gi ma ri’, ‘go approach and insights’ is written as ‘ma jo ba ta’, and ‘with and better mind’ is written as ‘ki ri to ta’.

1. What is the code for ‘ideas’?
   A) dib
   B) ba
   C) gi
   D) ma
   E) Cannot be determined
   
   Answer

   C) gi
   Explanation:

   B) go and innovate
   C) ideas and approach
   D) go with mind
   E) always better ideas
   
   Answer

   B) go and innovate
   Explanation:
   From que 2, ta – and
   ba – go from 1st and 3rd code
   lo and innovate not present anywhere, so lo can be innovate
4. What is code for ‘with’?
   A) ki
   B) ri
   C) to
   D) ta
   E) ba

   D) to dib jo
   E) dib to ba
   
   Answer

   D) to dib jo
   Explanation:
   Insights – jo, always – dib,
   Better is ‘ki’ or ‘to’
   So code should be ‘jo dib ki’ or ‘jo dib to’. ‘jo dib to’ is present in options

Directions (6-10): In all the questions that follow, relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. The statements are followed by two conclusions. Give answer accordingly.
(A) only 1st follows
(B) only 2nd follows
(C) either 1st or 2nd
(D) neither 1st nor 2nd
(E) both 1st and 2nd

6. Statements: Z > B ≤ G = C, G ≤ P ≤ T, C ≤ M
   Conclusions:
   I. T > M
   II. T ≤ M
   
   Answer & Explanation

   (C) either 1st or 2nd
   Explanation:
   T ≥ G = C ≤ M, this gives both T and M less than equal to F
   So either T will be > M or T will be ≤ M
7. Statements: W ≥ S > K, S > F < C, P > W
   Conclusions:
   I. W > F
   II. P > C
   
   Answer & Explanation

   (A) only 1st follows
   Explanation:
   W ≥ S > F, so W > F
   P > W ≥ S > F < C, so relation cant be determined between P and C
   
8. Statements: N > V < B ≤ C, P ≤ M ≤ V, G < M
   Conclusions:
   I. C > G
   II. P < N
   
   Answer & Explanation

   (E) both 1st and 2nd
   Explanation:
   C > V ≥ M > G, so C > G
   P ≤ V < N, so P < N
   
9. Statements: H > M, M < N, N ≥ K
   Conclusions:
   I. K < M II. H > N
   
   Answer & Explanation

   (D) neither 1st nor 2nd
   Explanation:
   K ≤ N > M, so no relationship between K and M
   H > M < N, both H and N less than M so no relationship between H and N
10. Statements: D ≥ E ≥ J, R < P, P > Q
    Conclusions:
    I. Q > E
    II. D > P
    
    Answer & Explanation

    (D) neither 1st nor 2nd
    Explanation:
    Q < P > R ≤ E, so relation cant be determined between Q and E
    D ≥ R < P, so relation cant be determined between D and P
