There are totally 5 sections in the qp and each
section has 8
questions.
NO. of questions = 40
Time = 60 min
Negative marking = 0.25 for each wrong answer
SECTION 1(try this at last because it is very tough and time consuming)
L1, L2 - lists
M(L1,L2) = L1 + L2
If , L = (a,b,c)
A(L) = a (first term); B(L) = (b,c) (except the first
term)
I] P(L) = L if L=( ), & B(L)=()
P(L) = A(B(L)) if L <> ( ), and B(L)<>( ) B(B(L))=( )
P(L) = M(A(L)), M(A(B(L)), P(B(B(L))) if B(B(L) <>C)
II] R(L) = L : B(L)=( )
R(L) = A(L) if L<>()
R(L) = M(dont know), R(B(B(L)))if B(B(L)) <>( )
With the above instructions, find the following using
iterations:
1. R(P(L)) where L=(a,b,(a,b),(b,a))
2. R(P(L)) where L=(a,(a),(b,b),b)
Example(1)P(L)=P(a,b,(a,b),(b,a))
where A(L)=(a)
B(L)=(b,(a,b),(b,a))
B(B(L))=((a,b),(b,a))
So, third condition is applicable
So, P(L)=M(a,M(b,P((a,b),(b,a))) find this using the
same rule and
iterate.

SECTION 3
A 'TARGET' is a number and 'BRICK' has five numbers
as clue.
Use only four
numbers (only once each number) from 'BRICK' using
arithmetic
opertions,
+,-,*,/,() and attain the 'TARGET'
1. TARGET = 114 BRICK =
2. TARGET = 19 BRICK = 8,11,5,5,2
3. TARGET = 87 BRICK =
4. TARGET = 146 BRICK =
5. TARGET= 127 BRICK =
Ans: for 2 questions
19 = (8+11-5+5)
so ans = (8,11,5,5)

SECTION I - 8 questions Series.
1. Interchange of letters in a word and the adjacent
letters are also to
be changed. given letters series like [also few
condotions]
AAABBB=
ABABAB=
LET QUESTION IS ABBAAB
If we apply 25 on this it means we have to
interchange the letters
at positions 2 and 5, and we have to change the
adjacent letters 2 and 5
from A to B and B to A.
That is q's A B B A A B
after Step 1 i.e interchange 2 and 5.
now change adjacent elements of 2 and 5...finally
answer becomes
Ans: B A A B B A
//Hint: As per question papers 5 questions above like
but numbers
change.
