Reasoning Directions (Q.1-5): Study the following information to answer the given question. A word arrangement machine when given an input line of words rearranges them following a particular rule. The following is an illustration of input and rearrangement. Input: age road own wire tire ink pen uni dice eat. Step I: uni age road own wire tire ink pen eat dice Step II: uni own age road wire tire ink eat pen dice Step III: uni own ink age wire tire eat road pen dice Step IV: uni own ink eat age wire tire road pen dice And step four is the last step of the rearrangement. As per the rules formed in the above steps, find out in each one of the following questions the appropriate step for the given input.

Input for the questions: Input: gem stat ace cast omit fan rate uncut era input 1. Which of the following would be the final arrangement? 1) cast gem fan rate stat uncut omit input era ace 2) uncut omit input era ace cast fan gem rate stat 3) uncut omit input era ace stat rate gem fan cast 4) uncut omit input era ace stat fan gem rate cast 5) None of these 2. In step III, which of the following words would be at 6th position form the left? 1) rate 2) ace 3) stat 4) gem 5) None of these 3. Which step number would be the following output?

Uncut omit gem stat ace rate era input fan cast 1) II 2) III 3) V 4) IV 5) None of these 4. In step IV of the rearrangement, if omit is related to era and rate is related to fan in a

Explanations (1-5): In each step, one word gets arranged from the left and one from the right. Note that words starting with vowels gets arranged from the left and those starting with consonants get arranged from the right. This goes on in such a manner that finally we have vowel starting words arranged in reverse alphabetical order followed by consonant-starting words arranged in reverse alphabetical order. Input: gem stat ace cast omit fan rate uncut era input Step I: uncut gem stat ace omit fan rate era input cast Step II: uncut omit gem stat ace rate era input fan cast Step III: uncut omit input stat ace rate era gem fan cast Step IV: uncut omit input era stat ace rate gem fan cast Step V: uncut omit input era ace stat rate gem fan cast 1-3 2-1 3-1 4-4 5-5

Always remember the sequencing of alphabets i.e. which alphabet comes after/before the particular alphabet and you should also remember their numerical position as per 1 to 26. Series is the most important topic, but it is also very difficult to master. You should make sure you practice each and every concept thoroughly and try not to rush through the topics.

Who lives on the top floor? certain way, which of the following would ace be related to, following the same pattern? 1) rate 2) input 3) stat 4) gem 5) None of these 5. Which of the following would be step VII? 1) uncut omit input era ace stat rate gem fan cast 2) uncut omit input era ace rate stat fan gem cast 3) uncut omit input era ace cast fan gem rate stat 4) uncut omit input era stat ace rate gem fan cast 5) There will be no such step as the input gets rearranged before step VII. Directions (Q.6-10): In these questions, relationship between different elements is shown in the statements. These statements are followed by two conclusions. 1) Only conclusion I follows. 2) Only conclusion II follows. 3) Either conclusion I or II follows. 4) Neither conclusion I nor II follows. 5) Both conclusions I and II follows. 6.

Aviation is important, both as in industry in its own right and as a facilitator for the success and competitiveness of other industries. The success of aviation industry is also integral to national competitiveness, economic development and social progress. More importantly, aviation supports those new economic sectors on which India's future prosperity relies like Information Technology, Biotechnology, Finance and Electronics. The India's air transport industry is on the rise is an undisputable fact. However, the Indian economy will only achieve its true potential if we are able to strong in the areas with potential to grow and the role of India's aviation sector is critical in this regard. 21. India needs to make massive investments in infrastructural development. 22. Growth in Inidaís aviation sector is important to its economic development. 23. India has made substantial development in the Biotechnology sector. 24. India has tremendous potential to grow in the emerging industries. 25. Aviation sector in India has not fulfilled its role in the past in its economic development.
