No useful is tough.

The least possible diagram for the given statements is as follows :

Conclusions:

I. No product is tough → True (Because All products are useful and No useful is tough, so it is definitely true)

II. Some useful are products → True (Because All products are useful, so it is definitely true)

III. No useful is product → False (Because Some useful are products, so it is definitely false)

Hence, the correct answer is "Only Conclusion I and II follow".

Given:

In a certain code language,

A & B means ‘A is the father of B’

A @ B means ‘A is the brother of B’

A + B means ‘A is the wife of B’

A # B means ‘A is the sister of B’

Let us first decode the given symbols and then draw a family tree

On checking: G @ Y + K & H # C @ D

1) G @ Y

'G @ Y' means 'G is brother of Y'.

2. Y + K

'Y + K' means 'Y is wife of K'.

3. K & H

'K & H' means 'K is father of H'.

4. H # C

'H # C' means 'H is sister of C'.

5. C @ D

'C @ D' means 'C is brother of D'.

• Thus, the following family tree can be drawn:

• Clearly G is 'Mother's brother' of D.

Hence, the correct answer is "Mother’s brother".

The logic followed here is :

• FY62 : IB22

Similarly,

• PC38 : ?

​

Thus, 'PC38' is related to 'SF50'.

Hence, the correct answer is "SF50".

Two persons P and Q are standing in a park facing each other. If the shadow of P falls to the right of Q at the evening time then,

The following diagram can be drawn :

Thus, Q is facing 'North' direction.

Hence, the correct answer is "North".

The logic followed here is :

Clearly, option (A) and option (F) are exactly similar to each other.

Hence, the correct answer is "A and F".

Given series : H G @ J $ G % 5 7 G # @ G F % G + 7 G # = G H % G 8 $ G 2 F 5 G # @ 4 G 3 L + G K # 4 G $ M $

According to the given information :

• Numbers of G's which are immediately preceded by a number and are immediately followed by a symbol :

​H G @ J $ G % 5 **7 G #** @ G F % G + **7 G #** = G H % G 8 $ G 2 F 5 G # @ 4 G 3 L + G K # **4 G $** M $

Clearly, there are '4' G’s that follows the given condition.

7 G #, 7 G #, 5 G #, 4 G $ 

Hence, the correct answer is "4".$

Given Equation :  N < H < T = G > F > D

The logic followed here is :

Option 1) G < N → False (as  N < H < T = G > F > D → N < G)

Option 2) N < T → True (as N < H < T = G > F > D → N < T)

Option 3) G > D → True (as N < H < T = G > F > D → G > D)

Option 4) D < T → True (as N < H < T = G > F > D → D < T)

Therefore, G < N conclusions is NOT correct.

Hence, the correct answer is "G < N".

According to the given information :

P, Q, R, S and T live on five different floors. From floors 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. 

• ​P lives on the floor just below T.
• R lives on the floor just below P.

 

• Q lives on the floor just above T
• S lives on just above floor of Q

 

Case 1 does not satisfy the condition which says Q lives just above T. 

• So, Case 1 will be eliminated.

Case 2 does not satisfy the condition which says S lives just above Q.

• So, It will also be eliminated.

Thus, the final arrangement is :

 

Thus, the person who lives on the top floor is 'S'.

Hence, the correct answer is "S".

The logic follows here is:

 

Then, what we obtain from the cows is 'Milk'.

According to the given information:

The codes for some letters are given below.

Let us check the given conditions that are applicable here :

Condition 1) If the first letter of the word is a vowel and last letter is a consonant, then both these would be coded as '*'.

→ In the word 'NAVIGATE', the first letter is not vowel, thus condition 1 will not be followed.

Condition 2) If the second letter of the word is a vowel and the fifth letter is a consonant, then both these letters will be coded as '&'.

→ In NAVIGATE, the second letter is a vowel and fifth letter is consonant, thus condition 2 will be followed here.

Now, by applying Condition 2 :

The second and fifth letter of the word NAVIGATE will be coded as '&' and the other letters will be coded according to the given table.

Therefore, the codes will be :

 

Thus, the code for 'NAVIGATE' is ' # & % - & > @ + '. 

Hence, the correct answer is " # & % - & > @ +".$

Given series : R G 6 J 2 K U 3 A L 7 C 8 V 2 M O 2 4 E 3 U P S 5 A R 4 E V 6 4 F 7 O 5 E L 4 E 2 T 5 0 Y 6 K 6 5 M 

According to the given information :

Numbers which are immediately preceded and followed by a vowel :

• Vowel → Number → Vowel.

R G 6 J 2 K U 3 A L 7 C 8 V 2 M O 2 4 E 3 U P S 5 A R 4 E V 6 4 F 7 O 5 E L 4 E 2 T 5 0 Y 6 K 6 5 M

'U 3 A' , 'E 3 U' and 'O 5 E'

Hence, the correct answer is "3".

According to given information :

• Avdhesh starts walking from his home (Point O) and goes 24 m towards the north, and then he turns right and walks 29 m.
• After that, he turns right again and walks 67 m.
• Then he turns left and walks 32 m.
• He finally turns left and walks 43 m to reach his office (Point F).

The following diagram can be drawn according to given information:

Now, 

Distance between Avdhesh home (Point O) to his office (Point F) = Distance between OC + Distance between CF

= 29  + 32 = 61 

Clearly, the office is at '61 m East' with reference to his home. 

Hence, the correct answer is "61 m, East".

The logic followed here is:

1^st word is "country's capital" and 2^nd word is "country".

Beirut : Lebanon → Beirut is the capital of Lebanon.

Similarly,

Colombo : Sri Lanka → Colombo is the capital f Sri Lanka.

Hence, the correct answer is "Colombo : Sri Lanka".

Additional Information

According to the given information :​​

• Q is to the immediate right of O.
• K is second to the right of O.
• L is second to the right of K.
• Only N is between L and P.​
• M is exactly in the middle.

Thus, the arrangement is :

Clearly, 'M' is sitting between K and L.

Hence, the correct answer is "M".

According to the given information :

• Divij is facing the south and then he turns 45 degrees clockwise.
• After that, he turns 135 degrees clockwise.
• He finally turns 45 degrees anticlockwise.

​The following diagram can be drawn :

Clearly, the direction Divij is facing now is 'Northwest'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Northwest".

Shortcut Trick  = (total degree in clockwise direction) - (total degree in anti-clockwise direction)

  = (45 + 135) - 45 

  = 180 - 45 

  = 135º clockwise.

If total comes positive that means person will move in the clockwise direction from his starting point and if the total comes negative that means the person will move in the anti-clockwise direction.

By using the following symbols in the table given below, we can draw the following family tree:

According to the given information :

• Kanu is Malti’s husband.

• Only two persons are behind U in which one is a boy and one is a girl.
• R is just ahead of U.
• Rank 4 holder is a boy.
• P is just after T.

​There are two possibilities:

 

• T is a boy.
• The person who got the rank 6 is a boy.

 

Here, Case 2 will get eliminated as it does not follow the condition that rank 6 is boy.

• S is a girl.

 

Therefore, the final arrangement is :

 

So, it is clear from the above arrangement that the rank of R is 3.

Thus**, 'R : Rank 2 : Girl' is not correct.**

Hence, the correct answer is "R : Rank 2 : Girl".

According to the given information :

• Where P₁ = Initial Pressure

           P₂ = Final Pressure

           V₁ = Initial Volume 

           V₂ = Final Volume

​

Additional Information

• The five main gas laws in chemistry are Boyle's Law, Charle's Law, Gay Lussac's Law, Avogadro's Law, and Ideal Gas Law.
• Charle's law states that the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature at constant pressure.
• Gay-Lussac's law states that the pressure of a given mass of gas varies directly with the absolute temperature of the gas when the volume is kept constant.
• Avogadro's law or Avogadro-Ampère's hypothesis is an experimental gas law relating the volume of a gas to the amount of substance of gas present.
• The ideal gas law states that the product of the pressure and the volume of one gram molecule of an ideal gas is equal to the product of the absolute temperature of the gas and the universal gas constant.
