represents Russia competes for Tennis. J does not represent Korea or

Explanations

1. 1 The statement clearly says that CAD would
enhance designing and production speed. So we can say that earlier
it was slow.

2. 4 The value of mega project cannot be
compared with other mega projects due to lack of information. The
employee strength can also not be commented upon due to lack of
data. But since they require manpower now, it can be safely
assumed the company did not have the required manpower for the
mega project earlier.

3. 1 None of the three statements are implicit
in the statement.

4. 3 Statement A is incorrect due to lack of
information. Statements C is irrelevant. Only statement B provides
a justifiable assumption to the statement in the question.

5. 3 The statements A and C are facts which
cannot be assumed using the given statement. But statement B can
be assumed as the movie is said to be much hyped.

For questions 6 to 10: Given information can be summarized.
