SECTION I: Syllogism [Questions 1 to 8]
1. Statements:
1. All cats are dogs.
2. All dogs are birds.
Conclusions:
I. All cats are birds.
II. Some birds are cats.
Explanation: Cats are fully inside Dogs, which are fully inside Birds. Therefore, all Cats are inside Birds (I follows), and since Cats occupy a part of the Birds set, some Birds are Cats (II follows).
2. Statements:
1. Some books are pens.
2. No pen is a pencil.
Conclusions:
I. Some books are pencils.
II. Some pens are books.
Explanation: "Some books are pens" directly converts to "Some pens are books" (II follows). There is no guaranteed relation between books and pencils (I does not follow).
3. Statements:
1. All apples are fruits.
2. No fruit is a vegetable.
Conclusions:
I. No apple is a vegetable.
II. Some fruits are apples.
Explanation: Since all apples are inside fruits and no fruit overlaps with vegetables, no apple can touch vegetables (I follows). Also, since apples are inside fruits, some fruits are apples (II follows).
4. Statements:
1. Some chairs are tables.
2. Some tables are desks.
Conclusions:
I. All chairs are desks.
II. Some chairs are desks.
Explanation: Two particular statements ("Some") yield no definite conclusion between extreme terms (chairs and desks). Thus, neither conclusion definitely follows.
5. Statements:
1. All teachers are students.
2. Some students are athletes.
Conclusions:
I. Some students are teachers.
II. All athletes are teachers.
Explanation: "All teachers are students" converts to "Some students are teachers" (I follows). There is no direct connection given that forces all athletes to be teachers.
6. Statements:
1. No car is a bike.
2. No bike is a bus.
Conclusions:
I. No car is a bus.
II. Some bikes are cars.
Explanation: From two negative premises ("No"), no definite conclusion can be drawn between car and bus. "No car is a bike" also contradicts "Some bikes are cars".
7. Statements:
1. All mobile phones are gadgets.
2. Some gadgets are electronic.
Conclusions:
I. Some mobile phones are electronic.
II. Some gadgets are mobile phones.
Explanation: "All mobile phones are gadgets" converts validly to "Some gadgets are mobile phones" (II follows). The relationship between mobile phones and electronic items is uncertain.
8. Statements:
1. All lions are predators.
2. No predator is domestic.
Conclusions:
I. No lion is domestic.
II. All predators are lions.
Explanation: Since lions are inside predators and no predator is domestic, lions can never be domestic (I follows). "All lions are predators" does not mean all predators are lions.
SECTION II: Calendar & Clock [Questions 9 to 16]
9. If 1st January 2007 was a Monday, what day of the week was 1st January 2008?
Explanation: 2007 is an ordinary year with 365 days = 52 weeks + 1 odd day. Monday + 1 day = Tuesday.
10. How many odd days are there in a non-leap (ordinary) year?
Explanation: An ordinary year has 365 days. Dividing by 7 gives 52 weeks with a remainder of 1 day (1 odd day).
11. What is the angle between the hour hand and minute hand of a clock at 3:30?
Explanation: Angle = |30H - 5.5M| = |30(3) - 5.5(30)| = |90 - 165| = 75°.
12. Which of the following years is a leap year?
Explanation: 2024 is divisible by 4. Century years like 1900 must be divisible by 400 to be leap years (1900 is not, but 2000 is).
13. How many times do the hands of a clock coincide (overlap) in 24 hours?
Explanation: The hands coincide 11 times in 12 hours (due to the 11-to-1 gap overlapping at 12:00), so in 24 hours they coincide 22 times.
14. At what time between 4 and 5 o'clock will the hands of a clock be together (0° angle)?
Explanation: Time = (60/11) × H = (60/11) × 4 = 240/11 = 21 (9/11) minutes past 4.
15. If today is Friday, what day of the week will it be after 61 days?
Explanation: 61 ÷ 7 = 8 weeks remainder 5 days. Friday + 5 days = Wednesday.
16. The calendar for the year 2009 will be identical to which future calendar year?
Explanation: An ordinary year immediately following a leap year (2009 follows leap year 2008) repeats itself after 6 years: 2009 + 6 = 2015.
SECTION III: Ranking & Ordering [Questions 17 to 24]
17. In a class of 40 students, Priya ranks 13th from the top. What is her rank from the bottom?

Explanation: New rank from left = 10. Original rank from left = 10 + 4 = 14th. Rank from right = Total - Left + 1 = 30 - 14 + 1 = 17th.
20. Among A, B, C, D, and E: A is taller than B, but shorter than C. D is taller than E, but shorter than B. Who is the tallest?
Explanation: Order: C > A > B > D > E. Therefore, C is the tallest.

28. A, B, C, D live on four different floors of a building (Floor 1 to 4). A lives on an even floor. B lives above A. C lives on Floor 1. Which floor does D live on?
