nine. Leshsrench (choice a) doesn't contain any of the words needed for cloud nine. We know

that och means ball, so that rules out choices b and c. When you combine hapl (cloud) withresbo (nine), you get the correct answer

5/14

A. yoga is more popular than high-impact aerobics.

B.before embarking on a new exercise regimen, you should think about your

needs and desires.

C. yoga is changing the world of fitness in major ways

D. yoga benefits your body and mind

E. most people think that yoga isn't a rigorous form of exercise.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The second sentence points out that people should examine what they want from a fitness

routine before signing up for a new exercise class. There is no evidence to support choice a.

Choice c might sound reasonable due to the fact that the paragraph tells us that yoga hasbecome very popular, but this statement is not supported by the information provided in the

paragraph. Choices d and e are also not supported since the paragraph doesn't tel l us

whether yoga is good for both body and mind or what people think about it.

Assumptions:

The domestic servant, watchman and the liftman can give a clue about the suspected

murder.

1.

Generally in such cases the persons known to the resident are directly or indirectly

involved in the murder.

2.






Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Clearly, in such cases, the police interrogates the domestic servant, watchman and liftman towork out the sequence of events just before the murder by tracing the persons who had

come to meet the victim. So, I is implicit However, it is erroneous to assume that persons

known to the victim are generally involved in the murder. So, II is not implicit.

8 of 14 6/18/2011 12:07 AM


9/14

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The statement mentions the cause of family problems and does not deal with all the

problems. So, I is not implicit. Also, it is mentioned that money is the cause of family

problems. But this does not mean that problems always exist in a family. So, II is also notimplicit.



14. Statement: "Two months ago, it was announced that Central Government pensioners wouldget dearness relief with immediate effect but till date, banks have not credited the arrears." - A

statement from a Pensioners' Forum.

Assumptions:

Most of the banks normally take care of the pensioners.1.

Two months time is sufficient for the government machinery to move and give effect to

pensioners.

2.






Answer: Option B

Explanation:

I is vague and so it is not implicit. The statement expresses grave concern over thepensioners not having received clearness relief even two months after the implementation of

the policy. This implies that two months' time is sufficient and it's already too late. So, II is

implicit.

A. Only argument I is strong

B. Only argument II is strong

C. Either I or II is strong

D. Neither I nor II is strong

E. Both I and II are strong

However, such allowances would mar the spirit to work, in them and make them idle. So,

argument II also holds.

A. Only I follows

B. Only II fol lows

C. Only III fo llows

D. Only I and III follow

13 of 14 6/18/2011 12:07 AM


14/14

E. Only II and III follow

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Clearly, the issue is not so big as to allot all powers of admissions to colleges, to the

University only. So, II does not follow. The problem can be solved by circulating theinformation of the ousted students to all the colleges so as to ensure that such students do

not get admission elsewhere also. This might prove useful in rectifying such students. So, I

follows while III does not.
