2-4; 24 B 4 M 8 K 6 R 4 → 24 ÷ 4 × 8 + 6 − 4= 6 × 8 + 6 − 4= 48 + 6 − 4= 50

3-5; Required words LEAP, PLEA, PALE andPEAL.

4-4; All others are composite numbers.5-4; 'go and come' → 'na ta ka'

'black and white' → 'pa ma ta'Therefore, and = taGo = na or ka

6-5; The colour of sunflower is yellow. Hereblack means yellow. So black is ouranswer.

Similarly,

Therefore, Required answer = CBDRDK

11-5; R is fourth to the right of M.12-1; F is second to the left of T.13-3; R is sitting to the immediate right of T.14-4; 15-2; J is third to the right of B.16-4; 17-5; Some trees are jungles. (I - type)

All jungles are stones. (A - type)

I + A = I Conversion⇒ Some trees are stones

Some stones are trees.This is Conclusion II.All jungles are stones. (A - type).

All stones are buildings. (A - type)A + A = A ⇒ All jungles are buildings.Again: Some trees are jungles. (I - type).

All jungles are buildings. (A - type).I + A = I Conversion

⇒ Some trees are buildings

Some buildings are trees.

This is conclusion I.18-2; Conversion

Some hammers are rods

Some rods are hammers

This is Conclusion II.19-1; Some sticks are boxes. (I - type).

All boxes are rivers. (A-type)I + A = I Conversion⇒ Some sticks are rivers

Some rivers are sticks.

This is conclusion I.20-4.
