Most people find change stressful, so I do not find it surprising thatresearchers have discovered a statistical relation between falling ill andthe experience of major life events such as death of a spouse, gettingmarried, etc. Those who have experienced a higher index of such changes, generally report a greater incidence of ill-health. Yet, most of us find that this research quite doesn't tally with the experience.Reasoning similarly, another group found a strong correlation between
health and hassles of life—the thousands of little daily irritations.
206. Generally people tend to get irritated to some extent.
207. Everyone does not experience stress, only few do.
208. One should avoid big changes.
209. The approach of the two research groups is not different.
210. The researchers' conclusion quite fits into everybody's life.
Directions (Qs. 211-215): Each of the following series consists of seven figures, two of which at the ends are unnumbered. One of the five numbered figures does not fit into the series. Find out the figure.
Directions (Qs. 216-220): The second figure of the problem figure bears a certain relationship to the first figure. Determine the relationship and hence find out the answer from the answer figures:
Directions (Qs. 221-225): Each question comprises question figures and answer figures. The question figures obey a specific pattern.
From among the answer figures, choose that option which follows the series or pattern, in the next step.

Reasoning:
151. (1) All the others are colours of rainbow (VIBGYOR)
152. (2) Cooler is used to protect us from heat. Similarly umbrella isused to protect us from rain.
153. (3) According to first statement or sentence
.154. (4) Colour of middle line of NF is white and green means white isgiven in the statement so green is the answer.
155. (4) The first letter moves two places forward while the secondletters moves one place backward. This process continues forthe whole word.
156. (3) The reversed series is: 4th to the right of 16th from right is 12th (16 – 4) from right is B.
157. (4) The letters are A, C, P, I, T. No word can be made by using these letters.
158. (1) Seventh from left isis
159. (5) The series is after dropping characters: then 5th to the right of 6th from left is 11th from left i.e. T
160. (2) Do it yourself.
161. (1) Using Ist and 2nd statement we get All papers are pages and by using 2nd & 3rd we get All
books are material so, 2 & 3 follow and I & IV are conversion
of Ist statement and 3rd statement.166. (1)
167. (1) providing jobs would definitely decrease unemployment,hence 1 is strong. II is not strong because quota for poorsdoesn't mean reservation.
168. (2) Ist is not strong but II is obviously strong.

211. (5) The elements move one step Anti-clockwise in one step whilein the next the element on extreme Anti-clockwise positionmoves Clockwise end and others move one step Anticlockwise.
212. (3) The outermost and innermost sides rotate by 90° Anticlockwisewhile the middle one rotates by 90° Clockwise.
213. (2) In this the elements shift one step in cyclic order and oneelement is replaced by a new one.
214. (1) In this the upper and the lower elements rotate by 180° whilemiddle element inverted vertically in alternate steps.
215. (4)216. (4) Y changes by 180°, Anti-clockwise & 2 places in Clockwisedirection.
I changes Clockwise at same place, by 90°. has no rotation but goes to ends.
