I don't remember all questions, but i remember some questions.......

(2)- In a colony, there are some families. Each of them have children but different in numbers.
Following are conditions:
a) Number of adults = Number of sons = Number of daughters = Number of families.
b) Each sister must have atleast one brother and should have at the most 1 sister.
c) Number of children in one family exceeds the sum of no of children in the rest families.
Tell the number of families Answer:- 3
(3)- A says " the horse is not black".
B says " the horse is either brown or grey."
C says " the hoese is brown"
At least one is telling truth and atleast one is lying. Tell the colour of horse. Ans: Grey
Verbal Section (25 questions)
1) 2 passages.
2) Find correct sentences.
3) Find incorrect sentences.
4) Jumbled sentences & you have to choose their correct orders.
Between 2 paragraphs one was small and the another one is little bit large.
In my paper there was a paragraph related alcohol effect in pregnant woman. I personally suggest you that solve previous year cognizant paper. there is a chance to get those paragraph common.
And for these two sections just solving previous year papers and R.S.Agarwal(2 book) is more than enough.
After 3 days of my aptitude test I got a mail:-
