Step 2: 70 87 jack 88 sell his apple 90 tree
Step 3: 70 87 88 jack sell his apple 90 tree
Step 4: 70 87 88 90 jack sell his apple tree
Step 5: 70 87 88 90 tree jack sell his apple
Step 6: 70 87 88 90 tree sell jack his apple

According to the question,
B > D
A and C > E
∴ B > D > A and C > E
Clearly, shortest = E

So Option A is correct

According to the question,
N > M
Y > M
N > X > Y
On arranging the above data, we get
&becaul; N > X > Y > M
So, N is the most intelligent among them.

So Option A is correct

Interpretation of the coded symbols:
A @ B means 'A is not less than B' i.e. A ≥ B
A $ B means 'A is not more than B' i.e. A ≤ B
A # B means 'A is neither less nor more than B' i.e. A = B
A * B means 'A is neither more than nor equal to B' i.e. A < B
A % B means 'A is neither less than nor equal to B' i.e. A > B
We will decode the given statements as per the above interpreted signs.

Statements: V ≥ I = E < D ;  N ≤ E > B = F
Conclusions: I. D > F  II. V ≥ B
For conclusion I: 
From both the statements we get:
F = B < E < D
The common sign between F and D is ‘<’, thus F < D or D > F is true.
Hence conclusion I follows.

For conclusion II:
From both the statements we get:
V ≥ I = E > B
The common sign between V and B is '>', thus V > B is the actual relationship.
Hence conclusion II does not follow.
Therefore only conclusion I follows.
Hence option A is correct.

Following the final seating arrangement, we can say that G is sitting to the immediate of right of V.
Hence, the correct answer is option E.

Common Explanation:
Reference:
O is sitting second to the left of U and third to right of H.
Inference:

Reference:
D and I are immediate neighbors of  each other but one of them is an immediate neighbor of O. 
V is sitting second to the right of B.
Inference:
Here, we can place D and I as follows:

Reference:
G is sitting second to the left of D.
Inference:
To fix these two positions, we will have to place D to the immediate right of H. Thus, we get the final arrangement as:

From the following explanation, we get “Ximon and Yadav have their birthdays in the beginning and end respectively” is the true statement.
Hence option C is correct.

Common Explanation
References:
Only one person has birthday before Rahim.
Only three persons have birthday between Rahim and Tushar.
Ximon has birthday on 17th of a month of 31 days.
Number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Uday is one more than the number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Ximon.
Yadav and Zaheer have their birthdays in the same month having 30 days but not in the month of June. Yadav don’t have birthday before Zaheer.
Wafiq’s birthday is after Pratheep’s birthday.
Inferences:
From above statements,
Only one person has birthday before Rahim. Only three persons have birthday between Rahim and Tushar.
Here, Rahim has birthday on 28th of May month. Tushar has birthday on 28th of July month i.e. 3 persons have birthday between Rahim and Tushar’s birthday.
Ximon has birthday on 17th of a month of 31 days.
Ximon has birthday on 17th of either May or July [May & July has 31 days]. Thus we get two possibilities.
Number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Uday is one more than the number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Ximon.
Case 1: Number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Ximon is zero (no has birthday in between) and then number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Uday is 1 i.e. Uday has birthday on 28th of June.
Case 2: Number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Ximon is 2 (two people has birthday in between) and then number of persons having birthday between Rahim and Uday is 3 i.e. Uday has birthday on 28th of July which is not possible [Tushar’s birthday is on 28th July]. Hence this case can be eliminated.
Yadav and Zaheer have their birthdays in the same month having 30 days but not in the month of June. Yadav don’t have birthday before Zaheer.
Zaheer and Yadav have their birthdays on 17th and 28th of September respectively [30 days month other than June]
Wafiq’s birthday is after Pratheep’s birthday.
Finally, Pratheep’s birthday is on 17th of June and Wafiq’s birthday is on 17th of July. Thus we get the completed table.

Clearly, the distance of each village from Rampur is given in I and II. But nothing about their relative positions is mentioned. So, the distance between the two villages cannot be calculated.

The fact given in I is quite contrary to the given statement. So, I does not follow. II mentions the direct implications of the state discussed in the statement. Thus, II follows.

According to the statement, sea transport is cheaper than road transport in the case of route from Bombay to Jafra, not in all the cases. So, conclusion I does not follow. The statement stresses on the saving of fuel. So, conclusion II follows.

The fact that a certain rule has been more welcomed in a certain country does not imply that the problem is more prevalent there. So, I does not follow. Also, the amendment seeks to discourage only sexual harassment of women and shall in no way discourage employment of women. So, II also does not follow.

Work equivalence method:
30 × 5 × 16 = 20 × 6 × n
Gives the value of n as 20 days

Total work = 15 × 210 = 3150 man days.
After 100 days, work done = 15 × 100 = 1500 man days.
Work left = 3150 – 1500 = 1650 man days.
This work has to be done with 30 men working each day.
The number of days (more) required = 1650/30 = 55 days.

Lateral surface area (L. S. A.) = 2πrh
Total surface area = (T. S. A.) = 2πr(r + h)

5h = 3h + 3r
2h = 3r

r² = 196
r = 14 m

= 12,936 cubic m

Number = LCM (12, 17, 35) + 6 = 3780 + 6 = 3786

From the graph it is clear that the above ratio is less than 1 in the years 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2010.
Thus (Imports : Exports) < 1 in 4 years

The reqd. answer is = 18000/40 = 450
Hence, option B is correct.

Number of units of product D = 30/25 × 450 = 540

Total Cost price = Rs. 25 × 540 = Rs. 13500

35% units of product D were damaged and sold at Rs.12/unit ,

So total SP of damaged products = 35% of 540 × 12 = Rs. 2268

Total SP of remaining products of D = 65% of 540 × 30 = Rs. 10530

Total loss = Rs. (13500 – 2268 – 10530) = Rs. 702

Hence option A is correct.

The required ratio is = 25 : 20 = 5 : 4
Hence, Option D is correct.

Letters will occur in the order A, D, M, N, O and R.
The number of words which begin with A are ⁵P₅ = 120.
Similarly, there are 120 words which begin with D, 120 words which begin with M, 120 words which begin with N and 120 words which begin with O.
So, 601st word begins with R.
There are ³P₃ = 6 words which have RAD as the first three letters and ³P₃ = 6 words which have RAM as the first three letters.
So, after 600 + 6 + 6 = 612 words, we have the words which have RAN as first three letters.
613rd word is RANDMO and 614th word is RANDOM.
So, the answer is option (2).

The first and the last letters can be filled in five ways each.
The remaining letters can be filled in 26 ways each.
Therefore, the total number of ways in which a four-letter word can be formed is 5 × 26 × 26 × 5 = 16,900.

x² = 75 * 147 => x = 105

32.4 * 8 * 5 + 4 = 1300
1300 ÷ 26 + 14 = 64 => x = 8

Positive outcomes are 2(1 way), 4(3 ways), 6(5 ways) 8(5 ways), 10 (3 ways), 12 (lway). Thus, 18/36= 1/2

Substitute, me → I

Objective form of pronoun should not be used for one functioning as subject.

Miss the boat: If you miss the boat, you fail to take advantage of an opportunity because you don't act quickly enough.

Ex: I managed to get my order through before the end of the special offer - but I nearly missed the boat!

As per the meaning above, acted quickly is opposite to the correct meaning.

Options C and D are irrelevant.

Only acted late matches with the context.

Hence, option B is correct.

There are two topic statements: D and C. But if we study carefully, statement D is the most general statement out of the four given statements and it gives the central idea of the para jumble. So, it should be the 1st statement of the para jumble. The words 'another power' in D have a direct link with the words 'external forces' of statement B. So, D $%5Crightarrow$ B. C concludes the paragraph on a positive note as it ('make the country efficient and strong') elaborates the 'beneficial influence' mentioned in A. So, the correct sequence is: DBAC.

The fall of the Soviet Empire is given as a reference of time, as if to tell a story. Statements (A), (C) and (D) all tell us what happened around this time. So, in any sequence, (A), (C) and (D) should succeed statement (B). 'A deadly blow to the machinery of red tape' in D should logically follow 'gone were the days of state control' in A. Only one option gives this sequence ('B - A - D'), with B starting the sequence.

It is not easy to remain tranquil when those around you are losing their heads.
