A) not the electric do touch open wires B) do not touch the electric open wires
C) do not touch the open electric wires D) not the do electric touch open wires
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) do not touch the open electric wires

Explanation:

For convenience , we assign numbers to each word :

allow  children  to  play  on  the  ground

   1         2      3    4      5    6       7

It has been coded as : 

play  allow  on  children  the  to  ground

  4       1     5        2       6    3      7

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hence the given code is :

the  do  open  not  electric  touch  wires

 4     1      5     2       6         3       7

Now arranging them as 1 2 3 4 5 6 7, we have "do not touch the open electric wires'.

Hence, option (3) is correct answer.

I. The cost of mixer and juicer together was Rs 2850 a month ago. 

II. The amount of 10% increase on the mixer comes to Rs 220. 

A) If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question B) If the data in statement II alone are sufficient answer the question
C) If the data either in I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question; D) If the data even in both the statements together are not sufficient to answer the question
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) If the data in statement II alone are sufficient answer the question

Explanation:

The present price of the mixer can he calculated from statement II as follows

Let the earlier price be Rs x.

Then, 10% of x = 220 or x = 2200. Present price = Rs (2200 + 220) = Rs 2420.

So, only II is needed.
