Statements :

Some Bags are Waters.

All Waters are Liquids.

Conclusions :

I. Some Liquids are Bags.

II. All Bags are Liquids.

  1. AOption (a)

    ​Only conclusion II follows.

  2. BOption (b)

    Both conclusions I and II follow.

  3. COption (c)

    Only conclusion I follows. 

  4. DOption (d)

    Neither conclusion I nor II follows.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Only conclusion I follows. 

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as shown below :

Conclusions:

I. Some Liquids are Bags → Follow (As some Bags are Waters and all Waters are Liquids. As some part of bags is common with waters which whole comes in liquids, therefore it is true.)

II. All Bags are Liquids → Does not follow (As some Bags are Waters and all Waters are Liquids. So it is possible but not definite.)

∴ Here, Only conclusion I follows.​

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Answer: (c)C.

1

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is :-

From the given three different dices the adjacent sides are as shown below :

As 2 is common on both the dices figure 1 and figure 2, it is clear that 3, 6, 5, and 1 are adjacent to it, and the remaining i.e. 4 will be opposite to it.

Opposite pairs:

3 → 5

6 → 1

2 → 4

So, the opposite side of "6" will be side "1".

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Question 926

Delhi Police Constable 2023• Reasoning• Reasoning

Which two signs should be interchanged to make the following equation correct?

99 ÷ 8 + 2 - 16 × 4 = 39

  1. AOption (a)

    × and +

  2. BOption (b)

    ÷ and +

  3. COption (c)

    − and ×

  4. DOption (d)

    ÷ and −

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

÷ and +

Why this answer is correct

Given equation: 99 ÷ 8 + 2 - 16 × 4 = 39

Option 1) × and +

Two signs need to be interchanged then:

⇒ 99 ÷ 8 × 2 - 16 + 4 = 39

⇒ 12.375 × 2 - 16 + 4 = 39

⇒ 24.75 - 16 + 4 = 39

⇒ 28.75 - 16= 39

⇒ 12.75 ≠ 39

Option 2) ÷ and +

Two signs need to be interchanged then:

⇒ 99 + 8 ÷ 2 - 16 × 4 = 39

⇒ 99 + 4 - 16 × 4 = 39

⇒ 99 + 4 - 64 = 39

⇒ 103 - 64 = 39

⇒ 39 = 39

Option 3) − and ×

Two signs need to be interchanged then:

⇒ 99 ÷ 8 + 2 × 16 - 4 = 39

⇒ 12.375 + 2 × 16 - 4 = 39

⇒ 12.375 + 32 - 4 = 39

⇒ 44.375 - 4 = 39

⇒ 40.375 ≠ 39

Option 4) ÷ and −

Two signs need to be interchanged then:

⇒ 99 - 8 + 2 ÷ 16 × 4 = 39

⇒ 99 - 8 + 0.125 × 4 = 39

⇒ 99 - 8 + 0.5 = 39

⇒ 99.5 - 8 = 39

⇒ 91.5 ≠ 39

Hence, the correct answer is "÷ and +".

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

31

Why this answer is correct

The logic followed here is:

Logic: [(1st number + 5) ÷ 3]2 = 2nd number.

Now,

For, 70 : 625

⇒ [(70 + 5) ÷ 3]2 = 75 ÷ 3 = 252 = 625.

For, 37 : 196

⇒ [(37 + 5) ÷ 3]2 = 42 ÷ 3 = 142 = 196.

Similarly, for 31 ∶ 144

⇒ [(31 + 5) ÷ 3]2 = 36 ÷ 3 ≈ 12, and 122 ≈ 144.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
