Question 381

IBPS RRB Office Assistant (Clerk) 2024• Reasoning• Reasoning

Directions

In each question four statements followed by four conclusions numbered I, II, III and IV have been given. You have to take the given statement to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements. Give answer.

Statements:

Some Books are Pens.

Some Pens are Erasers.

No Erasers is Scales.

Only Books are Boxes.

Conclusions:

I. Some Boxes are Scales.

II. Some Pens can be Scales.

III. No Books are Erasers.

IV. Some Books are Erasers.

AOption (a)
Only conclusion III and IV follows
BOption (b)
Only conclusion I, II and III follows.
COption (c)
Either conclusion III or conclusion IV follows
DOption (d)
Both conclusion II and either conclusion III or conclusion IV follows
EOption (e)
None of the conclusion follows

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

D.

Both conclusion II and either conclusion III or conclusion IV follows

Why this answer is correct

The least possible venn diagram is:

Conclusions:

I. Some Boxes are Scales – False (Since, there is no direct relation between them so it is not definitely true).

II. Some Pens can be Scales – True (Since, there is no direct relation between them so it can be possible).

III. No Books are Erasers – False (Since, there is no direct relation between them so it is not definitely true)

IV. Some Books are Erasers – False (Since, there is no direct relation between them so it is not definitely true)

Since, conclusion III and IV are complementary to each other.

Hence, both conclusion II and either conclusion III or conclusion IV follows.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

E.

Only conclusion I and II follows

Why this answer is correct

The least possible venn diagram is:

Conclusions:

I. Some Black is not Red – True (Since, some Grey is Black and there is no direct relation between Red and Black so the conclusion is correct).

II. Some White can be Grey – True (Since, White is restricted with only Red so there is possibility for White being Grey).

III. All Black is Red – False (Since, there is no direct relation between Black and Red).

IV. Some Grey is White – False (Since, there is no direct relation between Grey and White so it is not definite).

Hence, both conclusion I and II are true.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

E.

Both conclusion III and either conclusion I or conclusion IV follows.

Why this answer is correct

The least possible venn diagram is:

Conclusions:

I. Some truck is bus – False (Since, there is no direct relation between Truck and Bus but it is a possibility).

II. All cars are bicycle – False (Since, there is no direct relation between Car and Bicycle).

III. Some car can be truck – True (Since, it is a possibility as there is no direct relation between Truck and Car).

IV. No bus is truck – False (Since, there is no direct relation between Truck and Bus but it is a possibility).

Here, conclusion I and IV are complementary.

Therefore, both statement conclusion III and either conclusion I or conclusion IV are correct.

Correct answer

E.

All of these

Why this answer is correct

Given persons B, C, G, H, M, O, R, V and Y; given months January, February, March, May, July, August, September, October and November.

Three persons went for vacation between O and V who went in the month which has even number of days but not in least number of days.
B went on vacation two months before O.

Month	Case – 1	Case – 2
Persons	Persons
January	B
February
March	O
May		B
July		O
August
September	V
October
November		V

The number of persons went before M is one more than that of after R. So, case 2 is eliminated.
Both Y and G went on vacation in the month which has odd number of days but not in January.
G went on one of the days after R.
C did not go before Y. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

Months	Persons
January	B
February	H
March	O
May	Y
July	M
August	R
September	V
October	G
November	C

Since, M went for vacation four months after O. So, statement A is correct.

H went for vacation in February which has least number of days. So, statement B is correct.

G was the second last person for going vacation. So, statement C is also correct.

Hence, the correct answer is All of these.

T lives neither on same floor as of R nor to the south of K, who does not like Grapes. So, case 4(a) is eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

Floor	Flat A	Flat B
3	R (Apple)	K (Orange)
2	M (Banana)	D (Grapes)
1	T (Guava)	H (Kiwi)

Since, R likes Apple not Grapes and lives with K in the same floor so statement A is incorrect, T lives the floor of D so statement B is correct, H lives to the southeast of M so, statement C is correct.

Hence, the correct answer is only A.

Floor	Flat A	Flat B
3	R (Apple)	K (Orange)

Since, the person who likes Guava i.e. T lives on first floor so statement first is incorrect, M lives on Flat A but in second floor so second statement is incorrect, Both T and H lives on same floor so statement third is incorrect and the person who likes Grapes lives on Flat B so fourth statement is also incorrect.

Hence, the correct answer is none of these.

MD

Why this answer is correct

Given persons are D, H, K, M, R and T; given fruits are Apple, Banana, Grapes, Guava, Kiwi and Orange.

There is only one floor between R and the person who likes Kiwi.
The person who likes Kiwi lives below the floor of M.

Floor	Case – 1	Case – 2	Case – 3	Case – 4
Flat A	Flat B	Flat A	Flat B	Flat A	Flat B	Flat A	Flat B
3	R		R			R		R
2
1	(Kiwi)			(Kiwi)	(Kiwi)			(Kiwi)

The person who likes Orange lives to the Northeast of M who does not like Apple.
Neither M nor R likes Guava.
No one sits to the west of the person who likes Guava. So, case 1 is eliminated.

Floor	Case – 2	Case – 3	Case – 4(a)	Case – 4(b)
Flat A	Flat B	Flat A	Flat B	Flat A	Flat B	Flat A	Flat B
3	R	(Orange)	(Guava)	R(Orange)		R(Orange)	(Guava)	R(Orange)
2	M		M		M		M
1	(Guava)	(Kiwi)	(Kiwi)		(Guava)	(Kiwi)		(Kiwi)

The person who likes Apple lives to the Northwest of H who lives in the same flat as of D. So, case 3 and case 4(b) are eliminated.
D and T do not live on same floor and same type of flat.
The person who likes Banana and the one who likes Guava live on same type of flat.

Floor	Case – 2	Case – 4(a)
Flat A	Flat B	Flat A	Flat B
3	R(Apple)	(Orange)	(Apple)	R(Orange)
2	M(Banana)		M(Banana)
1	T(Guava)	(Kiwi)	(Guava)	(Kiwi)

T lives neither on same floor as of R nor to the south of K, who does not like Grapes. So, case 4(a) is eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

Floor	Flat A	Flat B
3	R (Apple)	K (Orange)
2	M (Banana)	D (Grapes)
1	T (Guava)	H (Kiwi)

Since, both M and D lives on same floor rest of the pair shows persons lives on different floor.

Hence, the odd one is MD.
