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.

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.

Question 778

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:

No truck is train.

Some bus is car.

Some train is bus.

All bicycles are bus.

Conclusions:

I. Some truck is bus.

II. All cars are bicycle.

III. Some car can be truck.

IV. No bus is truck.

  1. AOption (a)

    Either conclusion I or conclusion IV is follows 

  2. BOption (b)

    Both conclusion II and conclusion III follows.

  3. COption (c)

    Only conclusion III follows.

  4. DOption (d)

    Both conclusion I and conclusion III follows.

  5. EOption (e)

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

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (e)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.

Question 779

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

Direction: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions based on given information.

An uncertain number of persons sit on a horizontal row facing towards North direction. Seven persons sit between R and U. Four persons sit between M and W. K sits at the middle of V and M. U sits second to the left of V. The number of person sits between T and L is one less than that of between L and U. The number of person sit to the left of T is one less than that of to the right of M. R sits third from extreme end. More than six persons sit between L and W. L sits five places away from R. The number of person sit between U and M is single digit highest prime number. T does not sit to the right of M. Not more than three persons sit between R and T.

What is strength of the row ?

  1. AOption (a)

    20

  2. BOption (b)

    35

  3. COption (c)

    27

  4. DOption (d)

    25

  5. EOption (e)

    15

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

25

Why this answer is correct

Given: An uncertain number of persons sit on a horizontal row facing towards North direction.

  1. R sits third from extreme end.

  2. L sits five places away from R.

  3. Seven persons sit between R and U. 

  4. U sits second to the left of V.

  5. The number of person sit between U and M is single digit highest prime number i.e.

    1. Four persons sit between M and W.
  1. K sits at the middle of V and M.

  2. The number of person sits between T and L is one less than that of between L and U.

  3. The number of person sit to the left of T is one less than that of to the right of M.

  4. T does not sit to the right of M. So, case 2(a) and 2(b) are eliminated.

  5. Not more than three persons sit between R and T.

  6. More than six persons sit between L and W. So, case 1(a) is eliminated. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

Hence, the strength of the row is 25.
