B) (12, 6,
C) (6, 6, 
D) (6, 8, 6)

B 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1
C 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1

A-(B C)
(I might have interchanged the values of A, B & C but still try this.)

 8. Fit a suitable curve with the given data.
x     y

 B B G M P Q B G S K O B G A S B B G D E F B G S T I

Ans: 4 (Another Q on the same logic was also asked.)

 10. M(373,5) + R(3.4) + T(7.7) - R(5. = ___
 M - Modulo R - Round-off T - Truncate

 13. 5 7 11 ? 25

Ans: 17

 15. The line equation of the following curve is
A) y = ex
B) y = tan x
C) y = cos x
D) x + y = 0

Ans: D (For some others, tan x and cos x curves were asked.)

 16. A & B can do a piece of work in 12 days. A is capable of doing twice the work as B. In how many days A alone can complete the work?

 18. If DCPRY is coded as CBOQX then SPEND can be coded as RODMC.
 19. The following is not a triangle:
A) (2,3,4)
B) (3,4,5)
C) (5,5,5)
