33. A farmer walks 8 km East, then 6 km North to reach his field. What is the shortest distance from his starting point?
Explanation: Using the Pythagorean theorem: distance = √(8² + 6²) = √(64+36) = √100 = 10 km.
34. If South-East becomes North and North-East becomes West, what will West become?
Explanation: Each direction is rotated by 135° anticlockwise. Applying this rotation to West gives South-East.
35. Sonu walks 15m North, turns right and walks 10m, turns right again and walks 15m, then turns left and walks 5m. How far and in which direction is he from his starting position?
Explanation: North and South legs (15m each) cancel out. The East legs (10m + 5m) add up to a net displacement of 15m East.
36. Point A is 5 km North of Point B. Point C is 3 km East of Point A. Point D is 5 km South of Point C. In which direction is D from B?
Explanation: D returns to B's latitude (since the 5 km North and 5 km South cancel) but remains 3 km East, so D is 3 km East of B.
37. A person walks 6 km South, turns left and walks 4 km, then turns left again and walks 6 km. How far is he from the starting point?
Explanation: The two 6 km legs (South then North after two left turns) cancel out, leaving only the 4 km East leg.
38. If North-East is called East, East is called South-East, and so on (each direction renamed as the next direction clockwise), what would South be called?
Explanation: Each direction's new name is the next direction in the clockwise sequence. The direction after South in the clockwise order is South-West.
39. A clock shows 3 o'clock, with the minute hand pointing North. In which direction does the hour hand point?
Explanation: If 12 corresponds to North, then the clock position for '3' corresponds to East, where the hour hand points at 3 o'clock.
40. Village Q is to the South of Village P. Village R is to the East of Village Q. In which direction is R from P?
Explanation: R is South of P (via Q) and also East, so R lies to the South-East of P.

Conclusions: I. Some fields are fertile. II. All fertile things are green.
Which conclusion(s) follow?
Explanation: Since some fields are green and all green things are fertile, some fields must be fertile (Conclusion I). Conclusion II is not necessarily true.
63. Statements: No farmer is lazy. All lazy people are poor.
Conclusions: I. No farmer is poor. II. Some poor people are not farmers.
Which conclusion(s) follow?
Explanation: Since lazy people (who are poor) are not farmers, at least some poor people are not farmers (Conclusion II). Conclusion I cannot be validly derived, as some farmers could still be poor for other reasons.
64. Statements: All seeds are plants. Some plants are trees.
Conclusions: I. Some seeds are trees. II. Some trees are seeds.
Which conclusion(s) follow?
Explanation: This is a classic case where no definite conclusion can be drawn about the relationship between seeds and trees, since the 'some plants that are trees' may not overlap with seeds.

Conclusions: I. Some crops are grain. II. All grain is wheat.
Which conclusion(s) follow?
Explanation: Since some crops are wheat and all wheat is grain, some crops must be grain (Conclusion I). Conclusion II is an invalid reversal.
67. Statements: No book is a pen. Some pens are pencils.
Conclusions: I. No pencil is a book. II. Some pencils are not books.
Which conclusion(s) follow?
Explanation: Since some pens (which are not books) are pencils, at least some pencils are not books (Conclusion II). Conclusion I is too broad to be validly concluded.
68. Statements: All rivers are water bodies. Some water bodies are lakes.
Conclusions: I. Some rivers are lakes. II. Some lakes are rivers.
Which conclusion(s) follow?
Explanation: No definite relationship between rivers and lakes can be established from the given statements, so neither conclusion follows.
69. Statements: All mangoes are fruits. All fruits are sweet.
Conclusions: I. All mangoes are sweet. II. Some sweet things are mangoes.
Which conclusion(s) follow?
Explanation: Since all mangoes are fruits and all fruits are sweet, all mangoes are sweet (Conclusion I), and it follows that some sweet things are mangoes (Conclusion II).
70. Statements: Some soils are fertile. No fertile land is barren.
Conclusions: I. Some soils are not barren. II. No soil is barren.
Which conclusion(s) follow?
Explanation: Since some soils are fertile and no fertile land is barren, at least some soils are not barren (Conclusion I). Conclusion II is too absolute to be validly concluded.

SECTION X: Puzzle & Venn Diagram [Questions 91 to 100]
91. Which of the following best represents the relationship between 'Fruits', 'Mangoes', and 'Vegetables'?
Explanation: All Mangoes are Fruits, so the Mango circle lies entirely within the Fruit circle. Vegetables are an unrelated category, so its circle stays separate.
92. Which diagram best represents the relationship between 'Doctors', 'Men', and 'Indians'?
Explanation: Doctors can be men or women, men can be Indian or non-Indian, and doctors can be Indian or non-Indian — all three groups partially overlap, requiring three intersecting circles.
93. Which diagram best represents the relationship between 'Cow', 'Animal', and 'Dog'?
Explanation: Both Cow and Dog are types of Animals, but a Cow is never a Dog and vice versa, so their circles sit inside the Animal circle without overlapping.
94. Which diagram best represents the relationship between 'Teacher', 'Student', and 'School'?
Explanation: Both Teachers and Students belong to a School, but a person cannot be both simultaneously in this context, so their circles lie within the School circle without overlapping.
95. In a class, 30 students like Mathematics, 25 like Science, and 15 like both subjects. How many students like only Mathematics?
Explanation: Students who like only Mathematics = Total Mathematics students - Students who like both = 30 - 15 = 15.
