S13. Ans. (c)


The answer of the question can be derived from the 8th line (not to be confused with ‘sentence’) third
paragraph ‘In Rajasthan, where it performed stunningly in by-elections, and where anti-incumbency
sentiment was believed to be riding high, the Congress, despite its
victory, may regard its own performance as sub-par.’ From above, it could be understood that the author
considers the performance of Congress in the Rajasthan State Elections subpar (below average).
Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.

S14. Ans. (b)


The statement (I) is a statement made on the BSP which is not related to Narendra Modi and/or BJP and/or
the government at the Centre.
The statement (II) seems to be an advice given to the BJP, not a criticism.
Only statement (III) is a sort of making a sarcastic comment on Narendra Modi, suggesting that if Narendra
Modi didn’t perform on his first term, chances of him to become the Prime Minister for the second time
will be less.
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.

S15. Ans. (a)


The answer to the question can be found from certain sentences of the last paragraph. ‘A potent mix of
rural distress and urban angst seem to have contributed to the erosion in the BJP’s support base. Farmers
suffered disproportionately and for longer following demonetisation, and small traders in urban areas have
felt handicapped by the straitjacket of the Goods and Services Tax. It may be tempting to think that
aggressive cow vigilantism and the Ram temple will influence voter behaviour, but these elections
underline it is livelihood concerns that really matter.’ Upon reading the above, one gets to understand that
demonetisation caused rural distress and urban angst and both have contributed to the losing popularity of
the BJP.
So, (I) and (II) have contributed to the loosing popularity of BJP. Upon reading the clause ‘It may be
tempting to think that aggressive cow vigilantism and the Ram temple will influence
voter behaviour’, one gets to understand the issue of ‘aggressive cow vigilantism and the Ram temple’ have
not contributed negatively to the popularity of the BJP, but the author is saying that the issue of ‘aggressive
cow vigilantism and the Ram temple’ has no impact, either positive or negative, on the popularity of the
BJP. So, (IV) is not contributing to the losing popularity of the BJP.
The clause ‘but these elections underline it is livelihood concerns that really matter’ suggests that concerns
for livelihood really matter, and the election result not in favour of the BJP suggests that the BJP
governments (esp. at the centre) has not given enough attention to issue of ‘livelihood concerns’ and hence,
performed badly in the election. So, (III) has contributed to the loosing popularity of the BJP. From above,
it can be inferred that option (a) is the correct answer.

S16. Ans. (b)


The answer to the question can be derived from the last paragraph where the mentioned statement is present.
The starting few sentences of the last paragraph, ‘As for the BJP, the results are an opportunity to introspect.
Not just on the performance of its governments in the State, but also the performance of the Narendra Modi
government at the Centre. To reduce the results of the Hindi-speaking States to the intangible anti-
incumbency sentiment would be a mistake. After all, both Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh and
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan survived two elections as incumbents’, one
understands that the author wishes to say that the introspection for the poor performance in the Assembly
elections must also include the performance of the BJP government at the centre. Both demonetisation and
the Goods and Services Tax were implemented by the BJP government at the centre. So, the mentioned
criticism must be directed at the BJP government at the Centre.
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.

S17. Ans. (d)


The answer to the question can be derived from a sentence present in the second paragraph: ‘For the BJP,
the setback in Rajasthan, which has not been kind to the incumbent from 1998 onward, was no surprise’.
The author thinks that it was no surprise that an incumbent has lost the election as this has been the case
since 1998. Among the given options, the word ‘obvious’ is the most appropriate word.
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.

ABSTRACT REASONING
S.1 ,Correct Answer:- D
Explanation:- Figure is moving clockwise with addition of half leaves. So it should be option D.

S. 2 ,Correct Answer:- C
Explanation:- First squared arrow reverses direction and then other two interchange and
reverse their directions, this logic continues with other two arrows. Hence option 3 is the
answer.

S. 3 ,Correct Answer:- C
Explanation:- On following the pattern

S. 4 ,Correct Answer:- D
Explanation:-
From 1st to 2nd block, the star and the solid box move one step forward clockwise
Similarly, from 2nd to 3rd block, again the star and the solid box move one step forward
clockwise and so on So by this arrangement, we can eliminate 1st, 3rd and 5th options Again,
from 1st to 2nd block, the 'z' moves to its opposite direction From 2nd to 3rd block, the 'z'
comes to the center From 3rd to 4th block, the 'z' comes downwards and from 4th to 5th
block, it again moves to its opposite direction Thus, in sixth block, the 'z' should be in the
center
Therefore, only option 4 satisfies the above conditions

S. 5 ,Correct Answer:- E
Explanation:- These pictures are in sets of 3. So first 3 are conencted and next 3 will be
connected. From picture 1 to 2, each symbol moves half a side anti clockwise and a new
symbol is added. From picture 2 to 3, each symbol moves 1 side anti clockwise and new
symbol is added. On following pattern, it will be option E.

S. 6 ,Correct Answer:- E
Explanation:- Notice the arrow. You will notice reflection along horizontal axis and a shift of
hald a side to the right. This shift happens from figure 1 to 2 , 3 to 4 and same will happen
from 5 to 6. Now, notice the other symbol, it moves from corners to middle of the square
and vice versa and also you will notice reflection around horizontal axis. So option E.

S. 7 ,Correct Answer:- D
Explanation:- Notice the black arrow. It remains in same direction in 1st three figures and
changes from top to bottom to middle. Same will repeat in next 3 figures. Notice the other
symbol that has a small vertical line at the end. In each figure it reflects along vertical axis
and moves 1 position like the arrow from middle to top to bottom etc. So it will have the
small line towards the left in the answer. So option D.

S.8 ,Correct Answer:- A

S. 9 ,Correct Answer:- A
Explanation:- From figure 1 to 2, cross moves half side anti clockwise and new symbol is
added. Same happens to triangle in figure 3 to 4. So option A.

S. 10 ,Correct Answer:- C
Explanation:- From figure 1 to 2, a line is added. Similarly from figure 3 to 4, line is added at
the bottom. Same follows from figure 5 to answer. So option C.

S. 11 ,Correct Answer:- E
Explanation:- Studying the movement of symbol (Z), it should be placed in the lower right
hand corner. Now, looking for (STAR), it should be placed in the third position from right on
the lower line. This leaves only option 5 with us. Now, also checking the movement of
(TRIANGLE), it should be at the upper right hand corner. Hence answer is option 5.

S. 12 ,Correct Answer:- A
Explanation:-
Character C interchange its position in every alternate figure . Hence It should be at lower left
corner in the next figure. Now we are left with options 1 & 2 only out of which option 2 has
Square in the same position as in problem figure 5 which cannot be the answer as in no two
consecutive figures any symbol remains at the same position. So the only option left is
option 1.

S. 13 ,Correct Answer:- A

S. 14 ,Correct Answer:- E
Explanation:- Simply the symbol is rotating and moving places such that figure 1 and 5 are
same. So figure 2 and 6 would also be same. Hence option E.

S. 15 ,Correct Answer:- B
Explanation:- Figure is rotating anticlockwise with addition of small half line and full long line
in alternate figures. So option B.

S. 16 ,Correct Answer:- E
Explanation:- Problem figure A has 3 symbols, 1 arc, 2 arcs, 3 arcs. Symbol with 1 arc has
moved 1 side anticlock and remained same. Symbol with 2 arcs has moved 1 side anticlock
with lower arc being reversed. Symbol with 3 arcs also moves 1 side anticlock with top and
bottom arcs reversed. So option E.

S. 17 ,Correct Answer:- A
Explanation:- 1st,3rd ,4th horizontal rays are mirror images and 2nd one is rotated at 180°. So
option A.

S. 18 ,Correct Answer:- A
Explanation:-
From 1st to 2nd block, the no of black colored leaves are same i.e. 2 but with a gap of 1 leaf
in between them From 2nd to 3rd block, the no of black colored leaves increase by 1 but
with a gap of 2 leaves in between them From 3rd to 4th block, the no of black colored leaves
are same i.e. 3 but with a gap of 3 leaves in between them From 4th to 5th block, the no of
black colored leaves increase by 1 but with a gap of 4 leaves in between them So, from 5th to
6th block, the no of black colored leaves should be 4 and with a gap of 5 leaves in between
them Thus, option 1 satisfies the above condition

S. 19 ,Correct Answer:- B
Explanation:- Notice the arrow. It moves 1.5 side clockwise and also rotates 90 degrees. Same
will happen with triangle in the answer. Also notice the T at the bottom left. It moves half

side anticlock and also rotates 90 degrees. So it should be option B.

S. 20 ,Correct Answer:- C
Explanation:- Notice carefully that only top and bottom arcs are reversed. Apply same logic,
so option C.

S. 21 ,Correct Answer:- B
Explanation:- The top figure is rotated 90 degrees and relfected along vertical axis. The
bottom figure is simply rotated 90 degrees. Only figures in option B show this relation.

S. 22 ,Correct Answer:- D
Explanation:- Figures are Rotating 90° clockwise and interchanging positions and also the
end from which they are connected. Triangle is connected by bottom side initially and vertex
after rotation. So option D.

S. 23 ,Correct Answer:- C
Explanation:- All arrows are rotating 90° anticlockwise and bottom moves to middle, middle
moves to top and top moves to bottom. So option C.

S. 24 ,Correct Answer:- E
Explanation:- Top 2 symbols interchange and bottom 2 symbols interchange and the last
symbol at the bottom is replaced by a new symbol. So option E.

S. 25 ,Correct Answer:- A
Explanation:- Cut the figure vertically and reverse the shaded portion in the right half of the
resulting halves. So option A.
