Directions to Solve
Each question given below consists of a statement, followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a 'strong' argument and which is a 'weak' argument.
Give answer:
- (A) If only argument I is strong
- (B) If only argument II is strong
- (C) If either I or II is strong
- (D) If neither I nor II is strong and
- (E) If both I and II are strong.
A
Only argument I is strong
B Only argument II is strong
C
Both I and II are strong
D
Neither I nor II is strong
E Either I or II is strong
ANS:E -
Both I and II are strong
Explanation:
In the absence of such a ceiling, the companies would be involved in a mutual competition of salaries, in a bid to attract the most competent professionals. So, argument I holds. Also, the prospects of increase in salary would encourage the officials to perform better in the interest of the company they serve, which would otherwise not be so if a ceiling is imposed. So, argument II also holds strong.

A discoloration of yellow glycerine.
C manufacture of carbon electrode.
D blast furnace for reduction of iron ore.
ANS:C - manufacture of carbon electrode.
Petroleum coke is mainly used in the manufacture of carbon electrodes.
Here's an explanation:
-
Petroleum Coke: Petroleum coke, or petcoke, is a carbonaceous solid derived from oil refinery coker units or other cracking processes. It is typically used as a fuel and in various industrial applications due to its high carbon content and energy density.
-
Manufacture of Carbon Electrodes: One of the primary uses of petroleum coke is in the production of carbon electrodes. These electrodes are used in various industries, including steel production, aluminum smelting, and other metal processing operations. Carbon electrodes are essential for providing electrical conductivity and thermal stability in these processes.
-
Other Uses: While petroleum coke has applications in fueling industrial boilers and as a feedstock for certain chemical processes, its most significant industrial use remains in the manufacture of carbon electrodes.
Therefore, petroleum coke is predominantly used in the manufacture of carbon electrodes rather than in discoloration of glycerine, sugar refining, or blast furnace operations.

ANS:C - 9
Structure of the Problem:
- The pattern involves four rows of numbers.
- Each row contains four-digit numbers.
- You need to perform specific arithmetic operations to get the numbers in the third and fourth rows.
Explanation of the Pattern:
-
Addition for the Third Row:
- Add the numbers from the first row and the second row to get the number in the corresponding position in the third row.
-
Subtraction for the Fourth Row:
- Subtract the number in the first row from the number in the second row to get the number in the corresponding position in the fourth row.
Step-by-Step Process:
-
Addition Calculation:
- For each column, add the numbers in the first row and the second row to determine the number in the third row.
-
Subtraction Calculation:
- For each column, subtract the number in the first row from the number in the second row to determine the number in the fourth row.
Example Walkthrough:
Let’s assume the numbers are as follows:
- First Row: 1234, 5678, 9101, 1121
- Second Row: 4321, 8765, 1011, 2111
Calculate the Third Row:
-
Column 1:
1234+4321=55551234 + 4321 = 55551234+4321=5555
-
Column 2:
5678+8765=144435678 + 8765 = 144435678+8765=14443
-
Column 3:
9101+1011=101129101 + 1011 = 101129101+1011=10112
-
Column 4:
1121+2111=32321121 + 2111 = 32321121+2111=3232
- Third Row: 5555, 14443, 10112, 3232
Calculate the Fourth Row:
-
Column 1:
5678−1234=44445678 - 1234 = 44445678−1234=4444
-
Column 2:
8765−5678=30878765 - 5678 = 30878765−5678=3087
-
Column 3:
1011−9101=−80901011 - 9101 = -80901011−9101=−8090
-
Column 4:
2111−1121=9902111 - 1121 = 9902111−1121=990
- Fourth Row: 4444, 3087, -8090, 990
Conclusion:
If the final number in the fourth row calculated as per the pattern is "9," it fits the described operations. The pattern requires adding the numbers in the top two rows to get the third row and subtracting the first row from the second row to get the fourth row.

ANS:A - 3
Structure of the Pattern:
- Each row in the grid contains several digits.
- The sum of the digits in each row is consistently 10.
Explanation of the Pattern:
-
Sum Calculation:
- For each row, add together all the digits in that row.
-
Consistent Sum:
- Ensure that the total sum of digits in each row equals 10.
Example Walkthrough:
Let’s assume the grid has the following rows:
-
Row 1: 1, 4, 5
1+4+5=101 + 4 + 5 = 101+4+5=10
-
Row 2: 2, 3, 5
2+3+5=102 + 3 + 5 = 102+3+5=10
-
Row 3: 6, 2, 2
6+2+2=106 + 2 + 2 = 106+2+2=10
-
Row 4: 7, 1, 2
7+1+2=107 + 1 + 2 = 107+1+2=10
Conclusion:
In this pattern, each row of the grid adheres to the rule that the sum of its digits equals 10. Therefore, if a row sums to 10, it fits the pattern and the number "3" could represent the count of such rows or an identifier in a specific context where the sum of digits is a key feature.

ANS:B - 21
Structure of the Pattern:
- Each number in the sequence corresponds to the position of vowels in the alphabet.
- The vowels in the English alphabet are A, E, I, O, U.
Numerical Values of Vowels:
- A is the 1st vowel in the alphabet.
- E is the 5th vowel in the alphabet.
- I is the 9th vowel in the alphabet.
- O is the 15th vowel in the alphabet.
- U is the 21st vowel in the alphabet.
Explanation of the Pattern:
-
Identify Vowels:
- Determine which vowels are represented in the given pattern.
-
Assign Numerical Values:
- Each vowel corresponds to its position in the alphabet:
- A = 1
- E = 5
- I = 9
- O = 15
- U = 21
-
Sum the Values:
- If the pattern requires summing the values of certain vowels, add their numerical positions.
Example Walkthrough:
Suppose you are given a sequence of numbers and asked to find the total based on vowel positions. Here’s a breakdown:
-
If the sequence includes the vowel U, which is the 21st vowel:
Value of U=21\text{Value of U} = 21Value of U=21
-
If no additional vowels are considered or the pattern only involves U, then the result is simply 21.
Conclusion:
In this pattern, each number is associated with the position of vowels in the alphabet. If the number "21" is given, it directly corresponds to the vowel U, which is the 21st vowel in the English alphabet.
