1. By careful observation, we can see that the departmentC handles the highest number of calls during any partof the day from the figures mentioned in the table.Therefore, the total number of calls handled will also be the highes t for department C. Hence, (D) .

2 . Number of cal ls handled by A during 1 pm - 5 pm= 60 + 40 = 100 Number of calls handled by F during 1 pm - 5 pm= 70 + 35 = 105Therefore, the total number of calls handled = 100+ 105 = 205. Hence, (C).

3 . Number of ca lls handled by C during 5 pm - 9 pm= 25 + 10 = 35 Number of calls hand led by F during 11 am - 3 pm

= 45 + 30 = 75Therefore, ratio of the calls handled

=35

4. Total number of calls handled by the call center between

3 pm and 5 pm = 275

Number of calls handled by C during the period 3

pm - 5 pm = 80

Therefore, percentage of the calls handled

=80

275 × 100 = 29.1%. Hence, (A).

5. Total number of calls handled by the call centre between

5 pm and 7 pm = 240

Number of departments hand ling thes e call s = 6

Therefore, average number of calls per department

= 40. Hence, (C).

6. The sum of the sales tax received in the five years

= 150 + 148 + 162 + 155 + 138 = 753 crores.

7. Wealth tax received during the 5 years = 165 + 154

+ 145 + 130 + 162 = Rs.756 crores

Service tax received during the 5 years = 145 + 150

+ 162 + 170 +140 = Rs.767 crores

Thus, the required percentage =756

767 × 100 = 98.5%

Hence, (C).

156. 1 . Lubaaba - Lilavat i

2. Lola - Lopamudra

Lola is taller than Lubaaba. Thus Lola and Lubaaba

both can be dressed as boys. Also , Lo la can be d ress ed

like a girl and even then be taller than Lubaaba. ThusLola need not be taller than Lopamudra. If Lopamudra

is dressed like a boy, she will be taller than Lilavati.

Hence, (E).

157. Lochan, Lubaaba and Lola are dressed like boys.

Now, Lopa mudra > Loli ta > Luba aba.

Lolita is dressed like a girl.

Lochan > Lolita > Lubaaba > Lilavati.

\ Lopamudra may or may not be taller than Lochan.

\ Lola may or may not be taller than Lochan.

\ Lubaaba, Lochan, Lola or Lubaaba, Lola, Lochan

could be a right arrangement. Hence, (D).

158. The girls are arranged in decreasing order of their

heights as

Lubaaba > Lochan > Lilavati > Lopamudra > Lolita

> Lola. Lubaaba, Lochan and Lolita are dressed as boys.Lolita has to pair with Lola.

Lubaaba can pair with Lopamudra (as she was earlier

pai red with Lilavat i)

Similarly, Lochan can pair with Lilavati.

Thus, Lubaaba - Lopamudra, Lochan - Lilavati and

Lolita - Lola are valid pairs. Hence, (A).

159. The grey brick is at the centre of the row. Silver

bric k is not at the left end and it has only one bric k

adjacent to it, so it is at the right end.

The red brick is between the brown and black bricks,

so these three are in a group and are necessarily to

be on the left side of grey brick. So only bric k that

can be adjacent to silver brick is either maroon or

white. Hence, (E).

160. Consider the letters in the English alphabet.In each of the groups, except OQT, the first and

the last letters are equidistant from the middle letter.

162. The relation is of synonyms – just as ‘heinous’ means

‘abhorrent’; ‘herculean’ and ‘arduous’ are synonymous

to each other. Hence, (D).

163. The relationship here is that of part with the whole.‘Ventricle’ is a chamber on the left side of the ‘heart’.

Similarly, ‘cochlea’ is a part of the ‘ear’.

Hence, (E).

164. The relationship is that of synonyms. ‘Conclusion’

is a synonym for ‘epilogue’. Hence, (D).

165. The relationship is that of object and action. Just as

one ‘reads’ a ‘book’ one ‘rides’ a ‘horse’. Hence, (D).

166. There are six symbols viz., , h , Û , Í , a and

which are either preceded or followed by a number.Hence, (D).

167. If we drop every alternate alphabet from the above

series, we get the following series.

A 1 2 9 7 Q h 1 Û 5 U R 2 8 Í 13 µY 17 9

Hence, the 14th element from right in the new series

is Û . Hence, (E).

168. If all the odd numbers in the given series are dropped,

the series would be as follows:

A 2 B Q h Û A U M R 2 8 Í µ X Y

. The 13th element from the right is Û and the

12 th element from the left is R. Hence, (A).

169. The rearranged sequence is

A B $ C E F M Z 1 2 3 # 5 8 9

3 and 5 immediately precede and succeed #.

Hence, (A).

170. After reversing the order of first 8 elements, the

sequence becomes:2 + – B 5 A / T S R ÷ D X Y

9th element from the right is A and 4 th element to

the left of A is +. Hence, (A).

186. In the series in the first step the corner elements invert

laterally and move to the diagonally opposite corners.

The inner elements invert vertically, the 3 symbols

along the bottom right to top left diagonal move onestep upwards and the remaining two symbols interchange

posit ions. In the second step all the symbols rotate

90° clockwise and then the inner corner elements become

outer corner elements and vice-versa. Hence, (A).

187. In this series we number the positions of the arrows

from 1 to 5 from left to right. In each step first

the arrows in odd position i.e., 1, 3 and 5 invert

vertically and arrows in positions 2 and 4 invert laterally

and then the arrows move one position ahead.

Hence, (A).

188. In this series in the first step the elements along the

bottom left to top right diagonal move upwards one

step and invert laterally, the remaining elements move

one step ahead clockwise and also rotate 90° clockwise.In the second step, the elements along the bottom

right to top left diagonal move upwards and invert

laterally and the remaining elements move one step

ahead clockwise and also rotate 90° clockwise.

189. In this series in first step all symbols rotate 90°

clockwise, then the symbols along the bottom right

to top left diagonal move upwards and the remaining

two symbols swap positions. In the second step symbols

move one step ahead clockwise, the middle symbol

does not move. These steps are repeated. Hence, (C).

190. Each symbol moves in the sequence: top left ®mid right ® bottom right ® centre ® bottom

left ® top left. Hence, (D).

191. Here, the e lement ‘ µ ’ moves anticlockwise along

the corners after being rotated 90° clockwise.

‘ b ’ moves one step in the anticlockwise direction

after being laterally inverted alternately.

‘ x ’ moves one step in the anticlockwise direction

after being rotated 90° anticlockwise.

‘The half shaded circle with the line’ moves along

the diagonal (from bottom left-middle-top right then

again bottom-left) after being rotated 90° clockwise .

Finally, the different geometrical figures appear each

time. This figure is also shaded alternately.

\ The hexagon should be shaded. Hence, (C).

192. ‘ ’ and ‘ ’ ro ta te 90° anticlockwise and the o ther two symbols rotate 45° clockwise. Also, the first twosymbols move anticlockwise one step and the other two symbols move one step clockwise. Hence, (C).

193. The elements in the first row move to second row,they also invert laterally and rotate 90° clockwise.The second row elements move to third row and theyinvert laterally and rotate 90° anticlockwise. The thirdrow elements move to first row and invert vertically.Hence, (C).

194. All the elements in left section invert laterally androtate 90° clockwise. The top left and top right elementsmove to bottom right and bottom left positionsrespectively. The bottom right and bottom left

elements move to top right and top left positionsrespectively. Hence, (E).

195. The outer element rotates by 90° in clockwise directionand the inner element inverts laterally and then rotates90° clockwise. Hence, (B).

196. Top two elements in LHS rotate through 90° in anticlockwise direction and remaining two rotate through90° but in clockwise direction except in (D), wheresecond element from top rotates clockwise. Hence, (D).
