Sorry for the delay in posting. Here are the answers.

Answers:

Question 1
Direction for question: The following question consists of four statements. You have to select the option representing the most coherent sequencing of the given statements. A. He was a socialist and had the reputation of being sympathetic to the Indian cause. B. The proposals he had brought were however, not so favourable. C. Sir Stafford Cripps reached Delhi on March 22. 1942. D. He was known to be a personal friend of Jawahar Lal Nehru and other Indian leaders.
(1) CDBA (2) BCDA (3) CDAB (4) DCBA
The right answer is CDAB . In this question the obvious statement to start with is C. This is because it introduces Cripps and the other statements are referring to Cripps as ‘he’. Also AB is the key. A statement says that Cripps was considered to be sympathetic to Indian cause and B logically follows as it says proposals “however’” were not so favorable. This is true for (C) choice. Hence (C) is the correct option choice.
=========================================================================Question 2
Direction for question: The following question consists of four statements. You have to select the option representing the most coherent sequencing of the given statements. A. It continued its deliberations for many days over Gandhiji’s new slogan to the nation. B. On July 14, 1942 the Committee passed a long resolution - "Quit India" resolution. C. The Working Committee of the Congress met at Wardha. D. It demanded that the British rule in India must end.
(1) BCDA (2) CABD (3) BCAD (4) ADBC
The right answer is CABD. Here, BD is the key. B statement talks about “Quit Indian” resolution. The logical statement to follow is D as it talks about what was the motive or what was the demand under this resolution. This key is present only in option (B) and hence the correct answer.
============================================================================
Question 3
Direction for question: The following question consists of four statements. You have to select the option representing the most coherent sequencing of the given statements. A. You may imprint it on your hearts and let every breath of yours give expression to it. B. We shall either free India or die in the perpetuation of our slavery. C. Here is a "mantra", a short one that I give. D. The "mantra" is: "Do or Die."
(1) ACDB (2) BCDA (3) ACBD (4) CADB
The right answer is CADB. The most general statement to start with is obviously C. Also, DB is a key. D tells about the mantra “Do or Die” and B statement then explains it. This is true only for option (D). Moreover (D) is the only option choice that puts all the given statement in a proper sequence.
============================================================================
Question 4
Direction for question: The following question consists of four statements. You have to select the option representing the most coherent sequencing of the given statements. A. His inner voice spoke two words "Quit India." B. The failure of Cripps Mission disheartened the people. C. The day Cripps left was Sunday. D. Gandhiji pondered over the difficult situation, on Monday his day of silence, as to what could be the solution?
(1) BCDA (2) ACBD (3) DCBA (4) CBAD
The right answer is BCDA.
Here CD and DA are the keys. C statement talks Cripps leaving on ‘Sunday’ and D is the next logical statement as it talks about Gandhi ji finding a solution on ‘Monday’. Also D talks about Gandhi pondering over a tough situation and A has to follow as his inner voice gave the solution. This is true only for option (A). Thus (A) option is correct.
============================================================================
Question 5
Direction for question: The following question consists of four statements. You have to select the option representing the most coherent sequencing of the given statements. A. All other developing nations fall far behind. B. With a large and complex market like India, the report says further, looking at averages can be deceptive. C. China's parity is $ 2,870 billion, India's stands at $ 1,105 billion. D. Among developing countries. India comes second after China in terms of purchasing power parity.
(1) ABCD (2) DCBA (3) DCAB (4) ABDC
The right answer is DCAB. The most general statement to start with is D as it introduces the word “developing countries” as well as India and China. Also CA is the key. Purchasing power parities the statement that logically follows the parity of other countries, which A does. This key is present only in option choice (C). Thus (C) is the correct answer.
Question 6
Direction for question: The following question consists of four statements. You have to select the option representing the most coherent sequencing of the given statements. A. Honesty, truth and loyalty have the foundation of Utopia strong. B. In Utopia there is no black money, no transaction under table. C. It is a self-sufficient country with abundant natural resources. D. It imports less and exports more.
(1) BCAD (2) ADBC (3) CDAB (4) ABCD
The right answer is CDAB.
A is the most general statement as it introduces the word ‘utopia’ around which the passage revolves. Also AB is the key. A statement introduces the values of honesty, truth and loyalty and B substantiates the statement by “no transaction under the table”. This is clearly on lines with (D) option. Thus (C) is the correct option choice.
============================================================================
Question 7
Direction for question: The following question consists of four statements. You have to select the option representing the most coherent sequencing of the given statements. A. The cottage industries producing a variety of handicrafts boost the country's exports.
B. The economy in Utopia is quite strong; the currency ratings do not fall by the day. C. There are no prominent classes in Utopian society. D. It is, more or less, a homogeneous system.
(1) ACDB (2) BCDA (3) ADBC (4) CDAB
The right answer is CDAB. If we start the passage with A or B statement, C can’t follow as AC and BC are not at all compatible Also, CD is a key as C says that there are no prominent classes in utopian society and D further explains it by terming it “homogeneous”. These conditions are satisfied only by option (D). Thus (D) is the correct option choice.
============================================================================
Question 8
Direction for question: Four statements A, B, C, and D are given between two statements 1 and 2. Statements (A, B, C, and D) are jumbled up. You have to select the option which indicates a logical sequencing of the six taken together.
1. We must be aware that all private industries have not proved successful: there are hundreds and thousand of sick units.
A. The problem is not choosing between Public Sector and private industry.
B. If public sector is not doing well, we can find out the reasons and remove the detects.
C. There is less chance for corruption and meddling with politics.
D. Some Public Sector units like the ONGC. LIC and other have done quite well.
6. A constructive approach is needed.
(1) ACBD (2) ADCB (3) ABDC (4) BCDA
The right answer is ADCB. The key to the question is BC. B talks about finding reasons and removing defects. For doing this in proper manner, a constructive approach is required. This is exactly what is stated in option choice (B). Thus ADCB is the correct answer.
============================================================================
Question 9
Direction for question: Four statements A, B, C, and D are given between two statements 1 and 2. Statements (A, B, C, and D) are jumbled up. You have to select the option which indicates a logical sequencing of the six taken together.
1. In certain controversial issues the Board of Interview may be interested in your personal views.
A. Let us take Stale autonomy, sons of the Soil policy. Non-alignment, Prohibition, Public Sector. Gandhian economy etc.
B. Some simple controversial topics can be cited.
C. Here one must give his/her sincere preferences.
D. If one opposes he/she must say why with convincing and rational reasons.
6. It is quite possible that some Members of the Board may hold rather strong views to the contrary.
(1) ADCB (2) BCAD (3) BACD (4) ACDB
The right answer is BACD. The first key to the question is BA. B statement is talking about controversial topics and A logically follows as it gives examples of the controversial topics. Now, C is most logical statement to follow because it talks about giving sincere preferences from these topics. So BA and AC are the keys. These are present only is option (C). Thus (C) is the correct option choice.
============================================================================
Question 10
Direction for question: Four statements A, B, C, and D are given between two statements 1 and 2. Statements (A, B, C, and D) are jumbled up. You have to select the option which indicates a logical sequencing of the six taken together.

A. However, the Chairman and a member subsequently attempt to probe the candidate at length.
B. The candidate answers the questions freely and frankly.
C. He is free of inhibitions.
D. He frankly admits his reading is not too extensive.
6. He subtly conveys that he reads newspapers and periodicals to keep himself well-informed.
(1) ABCD (2) DCBA (3) BCDA (4) BACD
The right answer is ABCD. Here 1A is a strong key, 1st statement talks about the chairman starting an interview and A logically follows as it talks about the chairman probing the candidate at length. D6 is another strong key. D statement tells that the candidate does not read extensively and 6th statement logically follows as it talks that how the candidate keeps himself well informed despite less reading. This is true only for option choice (A). Thus (A) is the correct answer.
