Option 1 is a valid assumption. The company is trying out 15-minute meditation prior to work since it feels that it can help employees achieve peace of mind at the workplace.

Option 2 is invalid. If the company feels that employees resist mental health practices at the workplace and consider it an intrusion on their freedom., it will not implement them. Also, it is not related to our question which is the correlation between meditation and peace of mind.

Option 3 is invalid. Employees may or may not be meditating at home but the company feels they have to implement it at the workplace in order to ensure peace of mind at the workplace. As such, the private life of employees is beyond the scope of our passage.

Option 4 is not related to our question which is the correlation between meditation and peace of mind. It is about tiredness from work, which is beyond the scope of our passage.

Option 5 is invalid. As such, the private life of employees and their sleep is beyond the scope of our passage and not the main problem here.

So, only Option 1 is a valid assumption.

The passage above tells us about the popularity of YouTube and its history as well.

From the last line of the passage, we can assume that YouTube is a platform where 'people' can upload videos about a variety of things.

Hence, assumption I is implicit.

The information provided by the passage is not sufficient enough for us to assume that YouTube is a subsidiary of Google.

Hence, assumption II is not implicit.

The third option is not an assumption as it is a restatement of the fact which is already mentioned in the second line of the passage.

Hence, it cannot be an implicit assumption.

Option 1 is the correct answer. It can be concluded from the given premise that the increase in the level of pollution in the city makes the people aware to buy something which can dampen its effect so people are buying air purifiers. Also, air pollution in Delhi or any city will naturally have some impact on its neighbouring areas.

Option 2 is invalid as the passage does not compare the quality of indoor and outdoor air.

Option 3 is eliminated because no opinion of the government is mentioned in the above passage.

Option 4 is eliminated because the number or percentage of sales of air purifiers is not mentioned in the passage.

Hence, Option 1 is the correct answer.

Given:

Eight people are sitting around a square table, four at the corners and four the middle of the sides. At a distance of 6 m, there is a boundary of the at all four sides. At that boundary, eight people are sitting there, four at the corners while four at the middle of the sides.

People sitting at the table are facing away from the centre while people sitting at the boundary are facing towards the centre.

16. L is sitting at one of the corners.

Here, case 2(b) will be cancelled out as there is not any appropriate place left for D.

So, the final arrangement would be:

Here, G, N, W and J are sitting on the table while H is sitting on the boundary.

Hence, H does not belong to the group.

Given:

Eight people are sitting around a square table, four at the corners and four the middle of the sides. At a distance of 6 m, there is a boundary of the at all four sides. At that boundary, eight people are sitting there, four at the corners while four at the middle of the sides.

So, the final arrangement would be:

Hence, R is facing L  is the false statement.

Given:

Eight people are sitting around a square table, four at the corners and four the middle of the sides. At a distance of 6 m, there is a boundary of the at all four sides. At that boundary, eight people are sitting there, four at the corners while four at the middle of the sides.

15. M is neither facing H nor I. 
16. L is sitting at one of the corners.

Here, case 2(b) will be cancelled out as there is not any appropriate place left for D.

So, the final arrangement would be:

 

Hence, B is facing the one who is fourth to the right of R is the true statement.

Given:

Eight people are sitting around a square table, four at the corners and four the middle of the sides. At a distance of 6 m, there is a boundary of the at all four sides. At that boundary, eight people are sitting there, four at the corners while four at the middle of the sides.

People sitting at the table are facing away from the centre while people sitting at the boundary are facing towards the centre.  

1. B is sitting at the table. 2. The person who is sitting second to the right of B is facing K.  3.  I is facing the one who is sitting next to the left of B. 4. G is sitting fourth to the right of B and second to the right of W.

14. A is neither the neighbour of C nor of H but sitting at the boundary. 
15. M is neither facing H nor I. 
16. L is sitting at one of the corners.

Here, case 2(b) will be cancelled out as there is not any appropriate place left for D.

So, the final arrangement would be:

Hence, the A the correct answer.

By observing the given information, we can conclude that,

@ denotes north 

$ denotes east

% denotes south

& denotes west

In case of odd number: we have to add 15 in the given position.

In case of even number, we have to subtract 15 in the given position.

A 28@B, B 9% C, C 7$ D, D 26%E, E 18& F, F 11&G, G 24% H.

By decoding these expressions, we get

A 28@B: A is 13m is to the north of B

B 9% C: B is 24m is to the south of C

C 7$ D: C is 22m is to the east of D

D 26% E: D is 11m is to the south E

E 18& F: E is 3m is to the west of F

F 11& G: F is 26m is to the west of G

G 24& H: G is 9m is to the west H.

By checking the options:

1) F 5* A: F is northeast 20m to A → False

2) C 9@ B: C is 24m north to B → True

Hence, C 9@ B is the correct answer.

Given:

1. H # A # C % B, K & C, K # L, H & G % Z

H is father of A, A is father of C, C is sister of B, K is the husband of C, K is father of L, H is husband of G, G is sister of Z.

2. A & D $B, M \% L * C, G$ A @ H

A is husband of D, D is mother of B, M is sister of L, L is daughter of C, C is mother of A, A is son of H.

Combininig both we get,

Hence, A is grandfather of M.

Given:

1. H # A # C % B, K & C, K # L, H & G % Z

H is father of A, A is father of C, C is sister of B, K is the husband of C, K is father of L, H is husband of G, G is sister of Z.

2. A & D $B, M \% L * C, G$ A @ H

A is husband of D, D is mother of B, M is sister of L, L is daughter of C, C is mother of A, A is son of H.

Combininig both we get,

Now, using statement I

I. C * A, D $ C % B & E, F & N

C is daughter of A, D is father of C, C is sister of B, B is husband of E, F is husband of N.

We cannot determine any relationship between N and E.

Statement II:

II. B # N, B @ A @ G

B is father of N, B is son of A, A is son of G.

            

We cannot determine about N's relationship with B as the gender of N is not known.

Now combining all the information, we get:

Now, we can say that N is daughter of E.

Hence, Data in both the Statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

Faizal should take both course of actions as XYZ components are used for medical purposes. So, it must be only allowed to used by pharmaceutical companies.

Also, publishing an order to prohibit the use of the XYZ component in alcohol will give a sense of fear to those, who use it illegally.

Hence, both I and II follow.

Here, the problem is whether the proposal to suspend Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) proceedings is a right step or not.

Argument I is strong. Clearly, a lot of companies will be facing Economic stress and subdued business due to the COVID scenario and will be unable to pay their debt obligations. The move will prevent such businesses from being dragged into IBC proceedings.

Argument II is not strong. The Government is not writing off debts of these borrowers to kickstart a bad credit culture. It is only suspending IBC proceedings by 6-18 months. The borrowers are still liable to pay their debt obligations.

Argument III is strong. Suspending IBC will adversely affect the ease of loan recovery of banks and increase the stress on the banking system as the recovery will have to wait until the suspension is revoked.

Hence, only arguments I and III are strong.

The passage above discusses the process of desertification. It is becoming a huge problem which is being faced all around the globe.

We need to find options that can be a possible reason for desertification.

The first option talks about animal grazing which can be one of the major reasons for desertification as there are too many animals that are overgrazing in certain spots which makes it difficult for the plants to grow back, which hurts the biome and makes it lose its former green glory.

The second option discusses urbanization and its ill effects upon plants. This is a probable reason for the increasing desertification. Hence, it is also correct.

The third option is more of an effect than a cause of desertification. The lands turning infertile due to desertification are an effect and thus not the correct answer for the above question.

As the statements above mentioned that desertification is a type of land degradation in drylands in which biological productivity is lost due to natural processes or induced by human activities and both Option 1 and 2 are human activities which can cause desertifications.

Hence, both 1 and 2 are correct.

Code for the given word is as follows;

Hence, "kx" is the code for hat.

Code for the given word is as follows;

Statement I: please come here → nm as zh

To find the code for color, we have to find the code for either black or color. So, this statement is not sufficient.

Statement II: he arrived market → st vh re

To find the code for color, we have to find the code for either black or color. So, this statement is not sufficient.

Statement III: everyone like black → ya ck bt

By using this statement we get to know that code for black is 'ck' and the code for color is ld. So, this statement is sufficient.

Hence, If the data in statement III alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Code for the given word is as follows;

Statement I: “please come here” is coded as “nm as zh” and “go to market” is coded as “qx vh pu”.

This statement alone is not sufficient.

Statement II: “he arrived market” is coded as “st vh re” and “not like hat” is coded as “bt kx fn”.

This statement alone is not sufficient.

Statement III: “everyone like black” is coded as “ya ck bt” and “he is fair” is coded as “lz re rf”.

This statement is not sufficient.

By using Statement I and II together,

Code for here is 'nm' and code for arrived is 'st'. So, code for Fast is 'ow'.

Hence, If the data in statement I and statement II together are sufficient to answer the question.

Here, the problem is whether the step towards private participation in Passenger trains from Indian Railways is right or wrong.

Argument I is strong. Clearly, if an Expert Committee in the matter had recommended the same, it should be a good step.

Argument II is also strong. Customer satisfaction is a major parameter to determine the quality of services. Focussing on customer satisfaction would ensure better quality. Thus, it can be considered a highly desirable outcome of the step. 

Argument III is not a strong one. It is true that currently, Indian railways are cross-subsidizing losses of passenger trains through higher freight tariffs in order to ensure that Passenger tariffs remain low. But the same need not be applicable for trains operated by private players as they can charge higher rates.

Hence, only arguments I and II are strong.

Option (1) cannot be inferred as India is in 3^rd rank by purchasing power parity

Option (2) cannot be inferred as there is nothing mentioned about the GDP of 90’s.

Option (3) can be inferred as mentioned in the passage that India's GDP growth is expected to grow in the range of 6.0 to 6.5 per cent in 2020-21.

Option (4) cannot be inferred as there is nothing mentioned about pandemic in the passage.

Hence, option (3) is correct.

Options 1 and 3 have no relation to the given case and thus can be eliminated.

Option 2 only strengthens the fact that Virus X was responsible for the deaths. Only option 4 suggests that the deaths in country B might not be a result of virus X as the virus was deported on the same day as the reported deaths. It is given in the passage that the virus takes at least 5 days to show any symptoms. Hence, option 4 is correct.

The passage above talks about the recruitment agencies and the task they perform.

The last line of the passage mentions that there is a difference between recruitment agencies and employment agencies but they are generally confused to be the same.

The first statement brings forward an important difference between the recruitment agencies and employment agencies.  Both of them have different category of clients.

Therefore, it cannot weaken the difference between the two.

The second statement brings forward another difference between the recruitment agencies and employment agencies. It differs in the process of its operation which is a major difference.

Hence, it cannot weaken the difference between the two.

The third statement generalizes both the agencies and brings forward a common link between the two.

This will help us to weaken the fact that there is a difference between recruitment and employment agencies.
