1. English Language
Direction (Q. 1 - 5): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Progress in life depends a good deal on crossing one threshold after another. Sometime a man watched
his little nephew trying to write his name. It was hard work, very hard work. The little boy had arrived at
a threshold. Today, he writes his name with comparative ease. Now a new threshold confronts him. This
is the way with all of us. As soon as we cross one threshold, as soon as we conquer one difficulty, a new
difficulty appears, or should appear. Some people make the mistake of steering clear of thresholds.
Anything that requires genuine thinking and use of energy, they avoid. They prefer to stay in a rut where
thresholds are not met. Probably, they have been at their job for a number of years. Things are easy for
them. They make no effort to seek out new obstacles to overcome. Real progress stops under such
circumstances.
Some middle-aged and elderly people greatly enrich their thresholds. One went into an entirely new
business when he was past middle life and made a success of it. De Morgan didn't start to write novels
until he was past sixty. Psychologists have discovered that man can continue to learn throughout his life.
And it is undoubtedly better to try and fail than not to try at all. Then one can be placed in the category
of the Swiss mountaineer for whom it was said, "He died climbing." When a new difficulty rises to
obstruct your path, do not complain. Accept the challenge. Determine to cross this threshold as you
have crossed numerous other thresholds in your past life. In the words of the poet, "Do not rest, strive
to pass from dream to dream".

1) One can learn new things only upto the age of 3 5 years.

Some teachers are colleges + No College is a house = I + E = O = some teachers are not house. Hence I
does not follow. Neither does II follows. Some teachers are teachers (I) conversion Some colleges are
teachers (I). Hence III does not follow. No college is a house + All houses are schools = E + A = O* = Some
schools are not colleges. Hence IV does not follow.
17. (1);
All toys are windows + All windows are tigers = A + A = A = All toys are tigers. Hence II follows. No
building is a window = All windows. No building is a window = All windows are tigers = E + A = O* = some
tigers are not building. Hence III follows but I does not. No building is a windows conversion No

windows is a building. Now, All toys are windows + No windows is a building = A + E = E = No toy is a
building. Hence IV follows.
18. (4);
Some pictures are rats + All rats are mountains = I + A = I = Some pictures are mountains. Hence IV
follows. II follows by converting this. Some boats are pictures + Some pictures are rats = I + I = No
conclusion. Hence III does not follow Neither does I.
19. (3);
Some pens are houses + no house is a desk = I + E = O = some pens are not desks. Hence II does not
follow. Neither do I and III consequently. No house is a desk conversion No desk is a house. All
flowers are desks + No desk is a house = A + E = E = No flowers is a house conversion No house is a
flower (E). Hence IV follows.
20. (1);
All building are rain conversion some rains are building (I). Hence III follows. All papers are building +
All building are rains = A + A = All papers are rain implication Some papers are rain (I). Hence II
follows, and IV follows by conversing this. All dogs are papers + All papers are rain = A + A = A = All dogs
are rain. Hence I follows.
21. (2);
Statement I alone is not sufficient because the statement mentions nothing about P. Now, from II we
get:

Thus, P is towards north-east of Q.

22. (2);

Hence, from II, Q is second to the right of P.

23. (4);
From I and II, we get:
www.ibpsexamguru.in www.todaysprint.com

S>R

..(i)

Q > T > P ..(ii)

No relation can be established between (i) and (ii). Hence, both statement I and II even together are not
sufficient.
24. (5);
Statement I alone is not sufficient because it mentioned only Ps position in the row. Statement II hints
only the position of Q in the row, ie (10 + 1) = 11.
From I and II we get the required number of children = (15 - 1) 11 = 3

From all the three statements, we get
