In the following triads, each group of letters is related to the subsequent one following a certain logic. Select from the given options, the one that follows the same logic.
BEAN - EBAN - BANE
MAKE - AMKE - MKEA
MACK - AMCK - MCKA
Understanding the Letter Triad Logic
The question asks us to identify the pattern governing transformations within letter groups (triads) and apply it to find the correct option.
We are given two examples:
- BEAN -> EBAN -> BANE
- MAKE -> AMKE -> MKEA
Let's analyze the transformations step-by-step:
Step 1: Analyzing the First Transformation (Example 1)
Consider the first triad: BEAN -> EBAN.
- Original: B E A N
- Result: E B A N
- Observation: The first letter 'B' and the second letter 'E' have swapped positions. The letters 'A' and 'N' remain in their positions.
Step 2: Analyzing the Second Transformation (Example 1)
Now, consider the transformation from EBAN to BANE.
- Original: E B A N
- Result: B A N E
- Observation: The first letter 'E' has moved to the last position. The remaining letters 'B', 'A', 'N' have shifted one position to the left, forming 'BANE'.
This reveals a two-step process:
- Swap the first two letters of the word.
- Move the *new* first letter to the end of the word.
Step 3: Verifying the Logic with the Second Example
Let's check if this logic holds for MAKE -> AMKE -> MKEA.
- Starting with MAKE:
- Step 1 (Swap first two letters): M A K E -> A M K E. This matches the second term.
- Step 2 (Move new first letter 'A' to the end): A M K E -> M K E A. This matches the third term.
The logic is confirmed.
Step 4: Applying the Logic to the Options
Now, we apply the two-step logic to each option:
Option 1: RACE - RCAE - ECAR
- Step 1 (Swap first two): R A C E -> A R C E.
- The expected second term is RCAE, but we got ARCE. This option does not follow the logic.
Option 2: MACK - AMCK - MCKA
- Step 1 (Swap first two): M A C K -> A M C K. This matches the second term.
- Step 2 (Move new first letter 'A' to the end): A M C K -> M C K A. This matches the third term.
- This option follows the established logic.
Option 3: WORK - OWRK - KORW
- Step 1 (Swap first two): W O R K -> O W R K. This matches the second term.
- Step 2 (Move new first letter 'O' to the end): O W R K -> W R K O.
- The expected third term is KORW, but we got WRKO. This option does not follow the logic.
Option 4: NEAR - ENAR - EARN
- Step 1 (Swap first two): N E A R -> E N A R. This matches the second term.
- Step 2 (Move new first letter 'E' to the end): E N A R -> N A R E.
- The expected third term is EARN, but we got NARE. This option does not follow the logic.
Conclusion
Based on the analysis, only Option 2 (MACK - AMCK - MCKA) correctly follows the two-step transformation logic identified from the examples.

Directions for the following 8 (eight) items: Read the following six passages and answer the items that follow each passage. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only.
Passage –1 Low-end IoT (Internet of Things) devices are cheap commodity items: addressing security would add to the cost. This class of items is proliferating with new applications; many home appliances, thermostats, security and monitoring devices and personal convenience devices are part of the IoT. So are fitness trackers, certain medical implants and computer-like devices in automobiles. The IoT is expected to expand exponentially — but new security challenges are daunting.
Which one of the following statements is the most logical and rational inference that can be made from the above passage?
With the digital phenomenon restructuring most social sectors, it is little surprise that global trade negotiations are now eyeing the digital area in an attempt to pre-emptively colonise it. Big Data is freely collected or mined from developing countries, and converted into digital intelligence in developed countries. This intelligence begins to control different sectors and extract monopoly rents. A large foreign company providing cab service, for instance, is not a work of cars and drivers, it is digital intelligence about commuting, public transport, roads, traffic, city events, presonal behavioural characteristics of commuters and driver and so on.

Which of the following is most definitively implied by the above passage?
The rural poor across the world, including India, have contributed little to human-induced climate change, yet they are on the frontline in coping with its effects. Farmers can no longer rely on historical averages for rainfall and temperature, and the more frequent and extreme weather events, such as droughts and floods, can spell disaster. And there are new threats, such as sea level rise and the impact of melting glaciers on water supply. How significant are small farms? As many as two billion peopre worldwide depend on them for their food and livelihood. Small-holder farmers in India produce 41 percent of the country's food grains, and other food items that contribute to local and national food security.
