Group Question
Answer the following questions based on the information given below.

Five persons viz, Savita, Anuj, Zaheer, Yashshree and Latashree are standing in a row in ascending order of height such that the tallest is standing at the end and the shortest at the front. The shortest girl is the heaviest person. Yashshree is not heavier than Savita. No person has the same position by weight and height when arranged in descending order in a row. There are two boys and three girls in the group. The two boys stand together in the row whether the row is arranged in accordance with height or weight and none would be next to Latashree. Savita is the tallest and she likes sweets. Anuj is taller as well as heavier than Zaheer. All the three girls would be standing together had they been arranged in ascending order of their weight. Yashshree is a female.

Group QuestionAnswer the following questions based on the information ...
Solution: Rank the people as 1-5 in ascending order of height.
Savita, Yashshree and Latashree are the girls while Anuj and Zaheer are the boys.
Since Savita is the tallest, Savita = 5 Hence, Savita cannot be the heaviest person.
Since Yashshree is not heavier than Savita, Yashshree is also not the heaviest person.  Since the shortest girl is the heaviest person, Latashree is the shortest girl as well as heaviest person.
Zaheer and Anuj are next to each other such that Zaheer is shorter than Anuj.
Hence, (Zaheer-Anuj) = (1,2), (2, 3) or (3, 4) If (Zaheer-Anuj) = (1, 2); Latashree = 3. This is not possible as neither boy is next to Latashree.
Using the same logic, (Zaheer-Anuj)  (2, 3) Hence, Zaheer = 3, Anuj = 4, Latashree = 1 and Yashshree = 2.
Thus, the people in ascending order of height are: Latashree- Yashshree-Zaheer-Anuj -Savita.
Similarly, the people in ascending order of weight are: Zaheer-Anuj- Yashshree-Savita-Latashree.
Thus, Anuj is the second lightest person.
Hence, option 1.

Group QuestionAnswer the following questions based on the information ...
First, let's analyze the given information:
- Savita is the tallest
- The shortest girl is the heaviest
- Yashshree is not heavier than Savita
- No person has the same position by weight and height when arranged in descending order
- There are two boys and three girls in the group
- The two boys stand together in the row
- None would be next to Latashree
- Anuj is taller and heavier than Zaheer
- All three girls would be standing together in ascending order of weight
- Yashshree is a female

Analysis:
1. Savita: She is the tallest and likes sweets.
2. Anuj: Taller and heavier than Zaheer.
3. Zaheer: Shorter and lighter than Anuj.
4. Yashshree: Female, not heavier than Savita.
5. Latashree: Not next to the boys.
Now, let's arrange the people in the ascending order of weight:
1. Savita (Tallest, Heaviest)
2. Anuj
3. Yashshree
4. Zaheer
5. Latashree (Shortest, lightest)
So, the second lightest person is Anuj.

Direction: Answer the questions based on the information given below:Sita is the Senior Human Resource (HR) Manager for the company Digitax Markex. Last year, she hired 3 people during campus placements of a leading management college. These 3: Denny, Penny and Kenny were hired for mid-management roles. None of them have experience in having worked with a firm prior or post their management degree. Next week, their annual appraisal meeting is scheduled with the senior management and Sita. Before this, Sita must email her assessment report on all the three to the senior management.After the appraisal meeting, Penny realised that unlike Kenny and Denny who received a 30% increment in their salary, she has received only 20%. Deeply offended by this, she writes an email of resignation to Sita quoting the lower increment as the reason. Penny also mentions that this reflects gender inequality on the company's part. On reading the email, the following courses of action cross Sita's mind:1. Start looking for another employee as Penny's replacement.2. Call a meeting with Penny to explain to her that increments are based of multiple factors like the gross salary offered at the time of joining, quarterly performance, the department, job role, etc.3. Write an email to all employees reminding them that salary information must be kept confidential in accordance with the company policy.4. Immediately arrange for another appraisal meeting to offer Penny an equal raise.5. Transfer Penny to another department.Which of the following is the odd one out when the above statements are arranged in descending order of appropriateness?

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:Humans are strange. For a global species, we’re not particularly genetically diverse, thanks in part to how our ancient roaming explorations caused “founder effects” and “bottleneck events” that restricted our ancestral gene pool. We also have a truly outsize impact on the planetary environment without much in the way of natural attrition to trim our influence.But the strangest thing of all is how we generate, exploit, and propagate information that is not encoded in our heritable genetic material, yet travels with us through time and space. Not only is much of that information represented in purely symbolic forms—alphabets, languages, binary codes—it is also represented in each brick, alloy, machine, and structure we build from the materials around us. Even the symbolic stuff is instantiated in some material form or the other, whether as ink on pages or electrical charges in nanoscale pieces of silicon. Altogether, this “dataome” has become an integral part of our existence. In fact, it may have always been an integral, and essential, part of our existence since our species of hominins became more and more distinct some 200,000 years ago.For example, let’s consider our planetary impact. Today we can look at our species’ energy use and see that of the roughly six to seven terawatts of average global electricity production, about 3 percent to 4 percent is gobbled up by our digital electronics, in computing, storing and moving information. That might not sound too bad—except the growth trend of our digitized informational world is such that it requires approximately 40 percent more power every year. Even allowing for improvements in computational efficiency and power generation, this points to a world in some 20 years where all of the energy we currently generate in electricity will be consumed by digital electronics alone.And that’s just one facet of the energy demands of the human dataome. We still print onto paper, and the energy cost of a single page is the equivalent of burning five grams of high-quality coal. Digital devices, from microprocessors to hard drives, are also extraordinarily demanding in terms of their production, owing to the deep repurposing of matter that is required. We literally fight against the second law of thermodynamics to forge these exquisitely ordered, restricted, low-entropy structures out of raw materials that are decidedly high-entropy in their messy natural states. It is hard to see where this informational tsunami slows or ends.Our dataome looks like a distinct, although entirely symbiotic phenomenon. Homo sapiens arguably only exists as a truly unique species because of our coevolution with a wealth of externalized information; starting from languages held only in neuronal structures through many generations, to our tools and abstractions on pottery and cave walls, all the way to today’s online world.But symbiosis implies that all parties have their own interests to consider as well. Seeing ourselves this way opens the door to asking whether we’re calling all the shots. After all, in a gene-centered view of biology, all living things are simply temporary vehicles for the propagation and survival of information. In that sense the dataome is no different, and exactly how information survives is less important than the fact that it can do so. Once that information and its algorithmic underpinnings are in place in the world, it will keep going forever if it can.Q.According to the author, which of the following reason makes humans a truly unique species?
