Logical section consists

Q11-15) 5 prob based on data sufficiency. This consists of a question followed
by two statements containing facts providing clues to solve that quest. We r
suppose to find out which statement is/are sufficient to solve ans the quest.
E.g. what is the avg score of class?

<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->
<!--[endif]-->Q16-20) Data interpretation problems. (Little time consuming but
easy one. Ref R.S.Aggarwal Quant)
Q21-25) A critical Reasoning Problem like Ann, Boobie, Cathy and Dave are at
their monthly business meeting. Their occupations are author, biologist, chemist
and doctor, but not necessarily in that order. Dave just told the biologist that
Cathy was on her way with doughnuts. Ann is sitting across from the doctor and
next to the chemist. The doctor was thinking that Boobie was a goofy name for
parent's to choose,but didn't say anything. What is each person's occupation?
Ans: Since Dave spoke to the biologist and Ann sat next to the chemist and
across the doctor, Cathy must be the author and Ann the biologist. The doctor
didn't speak, but David did, so Bobbie is the doctor and Dave the chemist.
(Now u must have identified all facts) just ans qs asked
