The last weekend was SNAP and the week before was JMET. The hopes of a lakh flash on the result of these exams. JMET, an exam exclusively for engineers because of higher mathematics and SNAP for simplicity and lot of options in selecting colleges. But then some questions turned out to be half-assed and debatable esp in JMET.
2-3 Questions in the Logical Reasoning of JMET had no solutions at all. And then an entire Analytical Reasoning Passage had insufficient data to answer the given questions. These questions could easily eat upto 20-30 minutes of the given time without any reward. Check the questions out yourselves.
Q1. Manisha will eat the orange if Rajesh does not cook.
Based on the informtion given above which of the following will be true
(A) Manisha will not eat the orange if Rajesh cooks.
(B) If Manisha did not eat the orange, then Rajesh did cook.
(C) If Manisha ate the orange then Rajesh did not cook.
(D) If Rajesh does not cook, Manisha will eat the orange.
Q2. Consider the following set of three statements:
(i) There are three statements in this set.
(ii) Two of them are not true.
(iii)Your IQ will go up by 20 if you play game Z.
For these three statements to be consistent:
(A) Only statements (ii) and (iii) must be true.
(B) Statement (iii) may be true or false.
(C) Statement (ii) and (iii) must be false.
(D) Statement (iii) must be false.
A1. Answers are (B) and (D). Both match the conditions.
A2. No answer. Answer is Statement (ii) must be false and Statement (iii) must be true. I got stuck on this question for about ten minutes.
Analytical Reasoning Passage -
And then SNAP turned out to be equally confusing. Esp questions on find the odd one out.
Q1. Find the odd one out:
1. Latent
2. Natural
3. Inborn
4. Inherent
Q2. Find the one who plays the odd sport:
1. David Beckham
2. Michael Phelps
3. Martina Navaratilova
4. Prakash Padukone
-- depends on your judgement about what is odd sport.
Q3. Find the odd one out:
1. Pamper
2. Tide
3. Dove
4. Pantene
-- depends on your judgement again. Three of them are produced by one company but then three of them are used for washing purposes
Q4. Which of the word is closest in meaning to disinterested:
1. Unbiased
2. Not interested
3. Indifferent
-- check dictionary, two options show up to be the answer.
When we, the aspirants, prepare for an year, pay up lots of bucks for application forms and more bucks for applying to universities. The institues on their part must take care in setting up the question papers. Even the mocks of CL, TIME or IMS will have fewer mistakes.
On second thoughts, I believe the universities will not change the solution set anymore. They must have, like the IIMs made up a key and destroyed their workings. And will now use the key.
Hoping for the best of the results with fingers crossed...
