  • Two birds in front of a bird.

  • Two birds behind a bird.

​

That means two more birds are there.

  • A bird between two birds.

​

That means one more bird is there.

For example:

Wolves move in packs. What is the smallest number of wolves that could move in the following formation: 2 Wolves in front of a Wolf, 2 behind a Wolf and 1 Wolf in between 2 Wolves?

(1) 2 Wolves in front of a Wolf.

(3) 1 Wolf in between 2 Wolves.

Rearrange the given 5 sentences A, B, C, D and E in proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph and mark the correct sequence from the given options as your answer. Both are highly required for the healthy life but they have their significance and importance separately. We can never compare the importance of the money with the importance of love or care. Money is the most basic requirement of the life without which one cannot fulfill his basic needs and requirements of the daily routine. Both are required by us on urgent basis so we cannot rank both on the same scale. When one need money, love cannot fulfill this requirement and if one need love, money cannot fulfill this requirement.

Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.
Riparian vegetation [the green band of vegetation along a watercourse] can help stabilize stream banks; filter sediment from surface runoff; and provide wildlife habitat, livestock forage,and scenic value. Well-developed vegetation also allows bank soils to absorb extra water during spring runoff, releasing it later during drier months, thus improving late-summer stream flows. In many parts of the arid West, trees and shrubs are found only in riparian areas. Woody plants are very important as winter cover for many wildlife species, including upland game birds such as pheasants and turkeys. Often this winter cover is the greatest single factor limiting game bird populations. Woody vegetation also provides hiding cover and browse for many other species of birds and mammals, both game and nongame. Dead trees ("snags") are an integral part of streamside habitats and should be left standing whenever possible. Woodpeckers, nuthatches, brown creepers, and other birds eat the insects that decompose the wood. These insects usually pose no threat to nearby living trees. Occasionally a disease organism or misuse of pesticides will weaken or kill a stand of trees. If several trees in a small area begin to die, contact your local extension agent immediately . What is the overall sense conveyed by the author when the specific birds that live in riparian areas are listed in the passage?

There are two rows, each containing 3 numbers. Below are some rules to be used to get the resultant number for each row separately. Use the rule from left to right for each row and find the answer to the question. Rule: 1. If an even number is followed by an even number, then the first number will be subtracted from the second. 2. If an odd number is followed by an odd number, then both will be added. 3. If an odd number is followed by an even number, then the even number will be subtracted from the square of the odd number. 4. If an even number is followed by an odd number, then the odd number will be subtracted from the even number. Row I: 9,11, 34 Row II: 16, 9, 8 What is the difference between the resultant numbers in the first row and the second row
