Correct Answer: 11 5
Explanation:
This is an alternating subtraction series with the interpolation of a random number, 5, as every third number. In the subtraction series, 3 is subtracted, then 4, then 3, and so on.
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II is strong
Explanation:
Clearly, India needs to have military force to defend itself against the threat of other military powers in the world. So, none of the arguments holds strong.
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II is strong
Explanation:
The Public Distribution System is indeed necessary to provide basic amenities to the economically backward sections of population. So, argument I is vague. Also, if the Objectives of a system are not fulfilled because of corruption, then getting rid of the system is no solution. Instead, efforts should be made to end corruption and extend its benefits to the people for whom it is meant. So, argument II also does not hold,
Correct Answer: Only argument I is strong
Explanation:
Clearly, higher education is not the cause of unemployment. In fact, it has created greater job opportunities. So, argument II is vague. Also, higher education promotes the country's development. So, argument I holds.
Correct Answer: Neither I nor II is strong
Explanation:
The Government has already made provisions for reservation of jobs for the economically backward sections, which is a must. So, abolishing the practice of reservation altogether has no meaning. Thus, argument I is vague. Also, more reservations would lead to non-recruitment of many more deserving candidates. Besides, such a reservation, if implemented, will cater to the job requirements of only a small section of population and not a major part of it. So, argument II also does not hold strong.
Correct Answer: 58 65
Explanation:
Here is a simple addition series, which begins with 9 and adds 7.
Correct Answer: 44 50
Explanation:
This is a simple addition series, which begins with 2 and adds 6.
Correct Answer: 19 33
Explanation:
In this alternating repetition series, a random number, 33, is interpolated every third number into a simple addition series, in which each number increases by 2.
Correct Answer: 9 4
Explanation:
This is an alternating addition series with a random number, 4, interpolated as every third number. In the main series, 1 is added, then 2 is added, then 1, then 2, and so on.
Correct Answer: 23 28
Explanation:
This is an alternating subtraction series with repetition. There are two different patterns here. In the first, a number repeats itself; then 3 is added to that number to arrive at the next number, which also repeats. This gives the series 17, 17, 20, 20, 23, and so on. Every third number follows a second pattern, in which 3 is subtracted from each number to arrive at the next: 34, 31, 28.
