Exam-specific and shared questions

Of the 298 distinct questions in this set, 114 are written specifically for Reasoning and 184 are common general-studies questions (reasoning, aptitude, general knowledge, Punjab GK, language and computer basics). Punjab recruitment papers test these common areas at a similar level, so the same reviewed question is used in every exam set where that topic is on the syllabus, rather than being rewritten with small changes.

    Answer: (c) Either statement alone is sufficient. Step 1: Treat statement (1) alone โ€” is the question answered fully? Step 2: Treat statement (2) alone the same way. Step 3: If neither alone works, combine (1)+(2). Step 4: Mark โ€œeither aloneโ€, โ€œboth neededโ€, or โ€œneitherโ€ accordingly. Detail: Either statement gives x=4.
