Logical section
consists of 6 subsections of 5 questions each.

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

12. How wud u catch and receive a ball in same direction? (Dropping is from north and receiving from bottom not accepted, as it is 2 directions)
