So,folks here are the correct answers

Para Jumbles
The correct answer is 4.

E and D are linked. Then the author wonders if "it" is not visible, then where is it "hidden". He asks a senior and he gets a reply. C after A does not make sense as when he


Quantitative Ability
The correct answer is 5.

Work done by A + B + C in 1 hr = 1/3
Remaining part of the tank = 1-1/3 = 2/3
Time taken by (A + B) to fill this 2/3 rd of the tank = 4 hours.
Hence, A and B together fill the tank in 6 hours.
Now, we know A + B + C = 3 hours
A + B = 6 hours
Hence, C = 1/3 - 1/6 = 1/6
So, C alone can fill the tank in 6 hours.
