Answers & Solutions   1 .     Answer : Option B Explanation : All others are synonyms 2 .     Answer : Option D Explanation : All others are synomyms 3 .     Answer : Option A Explanation : All others imply 'up' 4 .     Answer : Option D Explanation : In the expression A > B $\geq$C ? D$\leq$E = F to make A > D true we can put any symbol from '>', '=' and '$\geq$' To make F $\geq$ C true we can put any symbol from '=' and '$\leq$'. To make both the expressions true, we can only put the common symbol '='. 5 .     Answer : Option A Explanation : P > Q = R $\leq$ T < S Now, split the above expression as given below: P > Q ...(i); Q = R ...(ii); R $\leq$T ...(iii) and T < S ...(iv) From (i) and (ii), P > R (True) Again, from (ii), (iii) and (iv), Q < S (True) Hence, option (1) is the correct answer 6 .     Answer : Option D Explanation :   7 .     Answer : Option D Explanation : 8 .     Answer : Option A Explanation : 9 .     Answer : Option B Explanation : 10 .     Answer : Option B Explanation :
