Minimum Possible diagram is-

Conclusions:

I. Some dusks are nights (It does not follow as its just a possibility, not surety.)

II. Some noons are dawns (It does not follow as its just a possibility, not surety.)

So, Neither I nor II follows.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.

The least possible Venn - diagram is:

I. All car are buses – It is not a definite case, hence false.

II. Some buses are truck –It is a definite case, hence true.

III. All trucks are buses – It is not a definite case, hence false.

So, conclusion II follows

Hence, option A is the correct answer.

P is third to the left of M and second to the right of T. N is second to the right of P. R is second to the right of W who is second to the right of M. F is not an immediate neighbour of P.

Final Arrangement is:

Therefore, H is to the immediate right of P.

Hence, option A is the correct answer.

Marked price of a washing machine is Rs. 7,200.

Selling price of article = Rs. 5512.50

Total discount = 7200 – 5512.50 = Rs. 1687.5

Percentage =

Two successive discounts of x% each

Net discount =

Hence 23.43 =

2343 = 200x -

⇒

So, x = 12.5

Discount = 12.5%

Given, AB = 16cm, AC = 63cm and BC = 65cm
 If we apply Pythagoras theorem, it is applicable here.
So, ABC is a right-angle triangle where BC is a hypotenuse.
When a line is drawn from the opposite vertex of hypotenuse and bisect the hypotenuse. Then the median is equal to half of the hypotenuse.

AM = ½ BC = ½ x 65 = 32.5cm

The sentence implies that the custom authorities seized many items made of ivory.

‘Confiscate’ means ‘take or seize (someone's property) with authority’. This word fits best in the sentence.

Meaning of other words are :-

Hijacked = to take control of an aircraft or other vehicle during a journey, especially using violence.

Annexed = to take possession of an area of land or a country, usually by force or without permission.

We notice that the reporting verb is in the past tense (‘said’). Hence, a change will be made in the tense of the reported speech.

Also, the first person of the reported speech is changed according to the subject of reporting speech.

The present tense (can borrow) is changed to past tense (could borrow).

In the given question, the pronouns ‘you’ is changed to ‘she’.

Therefore, the sentence in Indirect Speech will be option c, i.e., The librarian told her that she could borrow only two books at a time.
