Directions (Questions 6-10) Each of the following Questions consists of five options. Choose the best option that suits the question given.
6.Nithin was counting down from 32. Sumit was counting upwards the numbers starting from 1 and he was calling out only the odd numbers. What common number will they call out at the same time if they were calling at the same speed?
A. 19 B. 21 C.22 D.They will not call out the same number E. None of these.
Ans: D
Explanation:
Nithin: 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20�..
Sumit: 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25�
Clearly it is seen that they never call out same nmber at the same time.
7. Radha moves towards South-east a distance of 7 km, then she moves towards West and travels a distance of 14m. From here, she moves towards North-west a distance of 7 m and finally she moves a distance of 4 m towards East and stod at that point. How far is the starting point from where she stood?
A. 3 m B. 4m C.8 m D10 m E.11 m

A. 3 m B. 4m C.8 m D10 m E.11 m
Ans:D
Explanation: The movements of Radha are shown as below:
Clearly Radha�s distance from starting point O = OD = (OC �CD) =(AB-CD)
= (14-4) m = 10 m
8. In a certain office, 1/3 of the workers are women, � of the women are married and 1/3 of the married women have children. If 3/4 th of the men are married and2/3 rd of the married men have children, what part of workers are without children?
A. 5/18 B. 4/9 C. 11/18 D17/18 E.17/36
Ans: C
Explanation: Let total no. of workers be x
Number of women = x/3 and number of men = 2x/3
Women married=1/2 * x/3 = x/6
Women having children = 1/3 *x/6 =x/18
Married Men =3/4 *2x/3 = x/2
Men having Children =2/3 * x/2 = x/3
Workers with children = x/3 + x/18 = 7x/18
Hence, workers without children = x- 7x/18 = 11x/18

Ans: C
Explanation : The seating arrangement is as follows :
P X S Z R A
Hence , right of P is X.
