1. Only conclusion I follows
2. Only conclusion II follows
3. Both conclusions I and II follow
4. Neither conclusion I nor II follows

Letter positions: S(19), T(20), R(18), E(5), A(1), M(13). Forward: (S, T) -> S(19) and T(20) are consecutive. No other pairs exist forward or backward. Total pair = 1.

1. P is the maternal grandfather of S
2. P is the father-in-law of S
3. P is the paternal grandfather of S
4. P is the uncle of S

Answer: (A) P is the maternal grandfather of S

P * Q -> P is father of Q. Q + R -> Q is mother of R. R - S -> R is sister of S. So Q is mother of S, and P is mother's father (maternal grandfather) of S.

1. 6
2. 7
3. 8
4. 9

1. 65
2. 70
3. 75
4. 80

Answer: (C) 75

Using BODMAS: $240 \div 8 = 30$ $12 \times 5 = 60$ $30 + 60 - 15 = 75$.

1. 149
2. 159
3. 169
4. 179

Answer: (B) 159

Pattern: $\times 2 + 1$. $4 \times 2 + 1 = 9$ $9 \times 2 + 1 = 19$ $19 \times 2 + 1 = 39$ $39 \times 2 + 1 = 79$ $? = 79 \times 2 + 1 = 159$.

1. 15%
2. 17%
3. 19%
4. 21%

Answer: (C) 19%

Net percentage change formula = $a + b + \frac{a \times b}{100} = 40 - 15 - \frac{40 \times 15}{100} = 25 - 6 = 19\%$.

1. 18 days
2. 20 days
3. 24 days
4. 30 days

Answer: (B) 20 days

Combined efficiency per day = $3 + 2 = 5\text{ units}$. Total work = $5 \times 12 = 60\text{ units}$. Time taken by A alone = $\frac{60}{3} = 20\text{ days}$.

1. 3.5 hours
2. 3.75 hours
3. 4 hours
4. 4.25 hours

Answer: (B) 3.75 hours

Original speed = $\frac{300}{5} = 60\text{ km/h}$. New speed = $60 + 20 = 80\text{ km/h}$. New time = $\frac{300}{80} = 3.75\text{ hours}$ (or 3 hours 45 mins).

1. ₹6,500
2. ₹7,000
3. ₹7,500
4. ₹8,000

Answer: (C) ₹7,500

$SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \Rightarrow 1200 = \frac{P \times 8 \times 2}{100} \Rightarrow 16P = 120000 \Rightarrow P = ₹7,500$.

1. 24
2. 26
3. 28
4. 30

Answer: (C) 28

Sum of 5 numbers = $5 \times 20 = 100$. Sum of remaining 4 numbers = $4 \times 18 = 72$. Excluded number = $100 - 72 = 28$.

1. x > y
2. x < y
3. x ≤ y
4. x ≥ y

Answer: (C) x ≤ y

For $x$: $(x-4)(x-5) = 0 \Rightarrow x = 4, 5$. For $y$: $(y-6)(y-7) = 0 \Rightarrow y = 6, 7$. Since both values of $x$ (4, 5) are smaller than both values of $y$ (6, 7), $x < y$ (which implies $x \le y$).

1. 18 years
2. 20 years
3. 24 years

Answer: (C) 24 years

Present sum of ages = $34 + 4 + 4 = 42\text{ years}$. Ratio = $3 : 4$. Present age of B = $\frac{4}{7} \times 42 = 24\text{ years}$.
