Q16-20) Data interpretation problems. (Little time consuming but easy one.
Ref R.S.Aggarwal Quant)
Q21-25) A critical Reasoning Problem like Ann, Boobie, Cathy and Dave are at
their monthly business meeting. Their occupations are author, biologist,
chemist and doctor, but not necessarily in that order. Dave just told the
biologist that Cathy was on her way with doughnuts. Ann is sitting across
from the doctor and next to the chemist. The doctor was thinking that Boobie
was a goofy name for parent's to choose,but didn't say anything. What is
each person's occupation?
Ans: Since Dave spoke to the biologist and Ann sat next to the chemist and
across the doctor, Cathy must be the author and Ann the biologist. The
doctor didn't speak, but David did, so Bobbie is the doctor and Dave the
chemist.
(Now u must have identified all facts) just ans qs asked

12. How wud u catch and receive a ball in same direction? (Dropping is from
north and receiving from bottom not accepted, as it is 2 directions)
