Rest of the paper is based on similar questions.

I donot remember them completely but I'll just give a

basic idea about them below

* 5 programs are sheduled from monday to saturday,

monday is not holiday,

PQRST are the programs. The day before P is holiday,

and some other clues are

given, we have to find the sequence (4 questions)

* Suppose U R the presoner, There are two guards Who

will tell truth or

one will tell truth. There is a gate for liberty and

another foe hell.

asking about which sequencing is sufficient to find

the gate for liberty?

* There are 7 targets, A B and C has to shoot them.

All should be shot down consecutively.

1. The number of chances for A and B are not less then 2

2. C has only one chance

3. A can't shot 3 times consicutively.

4. B is permited to shoot in even chances only.

They have given some 2 or 3 MCQ questions on this.
