In a Class of five Students P, Q, R, S, and T, only one student is known to have copied in the exam. The disciplinary committee has investigated the situation and recorded the statements from the students as given below-
Statement of P: R has copied in the exam.
Statement of Q: S has copied in the exam.
Statement of R: P did not copy in the exam.
Statement of S: Only one of us is telling the truth.
Statement of T: R is telling the truth,
The investigating team had authentic information that S never lies.
- R
- P
- Q
- T
Explanation: It is given that S never lies and S is saying "Only one of us is telling the truth" implies all other statements of P, Q, R & T are not true. So we can say (i) R has not copied in the exam (ii) S has not copied in the exam. (iii) P did copy in the exam. (iv) R is not telling the truth
Conclusions:
I. 80% of the team consists of spinners.
II. The opening batsmen were spinners.

- A girl is sitting glumly on a bench reading a book and not interacting with her peers.
- Two boys are playing a one-on-one game of basketball and are arguing over the last basket scored.
- Four girls are surrounding another girl and seem to have possession of her backpack.
- Three boys are huddled over a handheld video game, which isn't supposed to be on school grounds.
Explanation: Seeing four girls surrounding another girl, while in possession of her backpack, is the most suspicious of the incidents described
Zachary has invited his three buddies over to watch the basketball game on his wide-screen television. They are all hungry, but no one wants to leave to get food. Just as they are arguing about who should make the food run, a commercial comes on for a local pizzeria that delivers. The phone number flashes on the screen briefly and they all try to remember it. By the time Zachary grabs a pen and paper, each of them recollects a different number.
#1. All of the men agree that the first three numbers are 995.
#2. Three of them agree that the fourth number is 9.
#3. Three agree that the fifth number is 2.
#4. Three agree that the sixth number is 6;
#5. Three others agree that the seventh number is also 6.

Explanation: # All of the men agree that the first three numbers are 995.
# Three of them agree that the fourth number is 9.
# Three agree that the fifth number is 2.
# Three agree that the sixth number is 6.
# Three others agree that the seventh number is also 6.

One New York publisher has estimated that 50,000 to 60,000 people in the United States want an anthology that includes the complete works of William Shakespeare. And what accounts for this renewed interest in Shakespeare? As scholars point out, his psychological insights into both male and female characters are amazing even today.
- Shakespeare's characters are more interesting than fictional characters today.
- people even today are interested in Shakespeare's work because of the characters
- Shakespeare was a psychiatrist as well as a playwright.
- New Yorkers have a renewed interested in the work of Shakespeare.
Explanation: The last sentence in the paragraph clearly gives support for the idea that the interest in Shakespeare is due to the development of his characters. Choice a is incorrect because the writer never makes this type of comparison. Choice c is wrong because even though scholars are mentioned in the paragraph, there is no indication that the scholars are compiling the anthology. Choice d is wrong because there is no support to show that most New Yorkers are interested in this work. There is no support for choice either.
Generation Xers are those people born roughly between 1965 and 1981. As employees, Generation Xers tend to be more challenged when they can carry out tasks independently. This makes Generation Xers the most entrepreneurial generation in history.

If you're a fitness walker, there is no need for a commute to a health club. Your neighborhood can be your health club. You don't need a lot of fancy equipment to get a good workout either. All you need is a well-designed pair of athletic shoes.
- fitness walking is a better form of exercise than weight lifting
- a membership in a health club is a poor investment.
- walking outdoors provides a better workout than walking indoors
- fitness walking is a convenient and valuable form of exercise
Explanation: By stating that fitness walking does not require a commute to a health club, the author stresses the convenience of this form of exercise. The paragraph also states that fitness walking will result in a good workout. Choice a is incorrect because no comparison to weight lifting is made. Choice b may seem like a logical answer, but the paragraph only refers to people who are fitness walkers, so for others, a health club might be a good investment. Choice c is not in the passage. Although choice e seems logical, the paragraph does not indicate that the wrong shoes will produce major injuries.
In the past, consumers would rarely walk into an ice cream store and order low-fat ice cream. But that isn't the case today. An increasing health consciousness combined with a much bigger selection of tasty low-fat foods in all categories has made low-fat ice cream a very profitable item for ice cream store owners.
- low-fat ice cream produces more revenue than other low-fat foods.
- ice cream store owners would be better off carrying only low-fat ice cream
- ice cream store owners no longer think that low-fat ice cream is an unpopular item.
- low-fat ice cream is more popular than other kinds of ice cream.
Explanation: This choice 'c' is supported as the best answer because the paragraph indicates that low-fat ice cream was once an unpopular item, but now, because consumers are more health conscious and because there is a wider array of tasty low-fat foods, low-fat ice cream is a profitable item for ice cream store owners. There is no indication that choices a, b, and d are true based on the information given.
