As we do not know the positions of different words
so the input can not be determined.

Given,
Batch II: children for watching is good not television.
Batch III: children for good watching is not television
Batch IV: children for good is watching not television

Batch III: already arrangements been necessary have made
Batch IV: already arrangements been have necessary made
Batch V: already arrangements been have made necessary .
5 batches are required to complete the arrangement.
Q6. 2)
Only argument II is strong. If we cannot succeed without the knowledge of computers, then it is imperative for us to make computer knowledge compulsory. Argument I is weak since we do not know why western model should not be followed.
Q7. 5)
Both the arguments are strong. Since literacy does not guarantee political maturity, it cannot be the minimum criterion for becoming a voter. Similarly, if illiterate people are not likely to make politically wise decisions, then literacy should be the minimum criterion for becoming a voter in India.
Q8. 4)
Neither of the arguments is strong. Scheme of voluntary retirement will not help keep a check on inefficient and excess staff. Also, if private and multinational companies are doing it, this does not mean that public sector should also follow the same.
Q9. 5)
Both the statements are effects of independent causes.
Q10. 2)
Statement I is the cause while statement II is its effect. Prices of crops have increased because the crops have damaged.
