Six persons: P, Q, R, S, T and U. 

1- Q is second to the right of U.

2- R sits opposite to Q  and is 20 years of age.

3- T is 56 years old and sits second to the left of R.

 

 

4- S does not sit near to T.

5- The age of U is twice the age of R. So the age of U is 40.

6- The age of S is 28 years. The age of P is half the age of S. So P is 14 years old.

7- The sum of ages of P and Q is 32. The age of Q is 18.

 

 

Hence, Q is 18 years old.

The least possible diagram is as follows.

Conclusions:

I. Some milk being coffee is a possibility - True (The possibility is true, as no direct relationship between the two element is given).

II. All juice being coffee is a possibility - False (The possibility is false, as All Tea are part of Juice and Only a few Tea are Coffee is given, which means Some Tea are Coffee and Some Tea are not Coffee, so All Tea cannot be part of Coffee. So If All Juice become part of Coffee then, All Tea also become part of Coffee which violate the statement).

Hence, Only I Conclusion follow.

The least possible diagram is given

Conclusion:

I. All Signals are Signs is a possibility → False (Signals will create positive relation only with Boards. So, it is false)

II. Some Boards are not Signs → True (As some the part of Boards which is Signals can never be Signs. So, it is true)

Hence, Only II follows.

The least possible diagram is given below:

Conclusion:

I. All Mouse is Rat → False (As some Rat are Mouse but we don't know about all but all rat may be Mouse. So, it is false)

II. Some Mouse is not Rat → False (As some Rat are Mouse but we don't know about the rest part. So, It is false)

Hence, Either I or II follows.

Points to remember:

There are only two complementary pairs for either - or case:

A. Some - No

B. All - Some not

Conditions for either - or:-

1. Both the conclusions must be individually false but not definitely false.
2. Conclusion should be Complementary Pair.

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

Conclusion:

I. All A is X → False (As there is no definite relation between A and X but it is possible. So, it is false)

II. Some A is not X → False (As there is no definite relation between A and X but it is possible. So, it is false)

Hence, Either I or II follows.

Points to remember:

There are only two complementary pairs for either - or case:

A. Some - No

B. All - Some not

Conditions for either - or:-

1. Both the conclusions must be individually false but not definitely false.
2. Conclusion should be Complementary Pair.

Family Chart:

1. P is wife of G and G is son-in-law of M where L married to M.
2. Q is maternal grand daughter of L. (This means Q is daughter of P and G).
3. R is sister of Q and Q, who is married to K.

Drawing the family tree,

Hence, J is maternal Uncle of Q.

Thus, the correct answer is "Maternal Uncle".

Family Chart:

1. P is wife of G and G is son-in-law of M where L married to M.
2. Q is maternal grand daughter of L. (This means Q is daughter of P and G).
3. R is sister of Q and Q, who is married to K.

Drawing the family tree,

Hence, R is sister-in-law of K.

Thus, the correct answer is "Sister-in-law".

Family Chart:

1. P is wife of G and G is son-in-law of M where L married to M.
2. Q is maternal grand daughter of L. (This means Q is daughter of P and G).
3. R is sister of Q and Q, who is married to K.

Drawing the family tree,

Here, M is mother-in-law of G.

Thus, M is the mother of G is the wrong statement.
