Direction: In the question below are given two statements followed by two conclusions numbered I and II .You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts. Read all the conclusions and then decide which of the given conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.
Statements
No eraser is ball.
All balls are bats.
Conclusions
I. All erasers can be bats.
II. Some bats are not erasers.
Only I follows
Only II follows
Both I and II follow
None follows
Correct answer
Both I and II follow
Why this answer is correct
Least possible venn diagram is:
Conclusions
I. All erasers can be bats → True
There is no direct relation between erasers and bats and also, there is no restriction on their relationship so, all erasers being bats is a possibility.
II. Some bats are not erasers → True
The bats which are balls can never be erasers.
Hence, both the conclusions follow.
Additional Information
In a code language, if GARAGE is written as 101021101014 and MEDIA is written as 1614071810, then how will DIAGRAM be written in the same language?
07181310211316
07181212211016
07201010211116
07181010211016
Correct answer
07181010211016
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is
In each word, 3 is added to each consonant and 9 is added to each vowel.
The code for GARAGE is as follows:
| Letter | G | A | R | A | G | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Code | 07 + 3 = 10 | 01 + 9 = 10 | 18 + 3 = 21 | 01 + 9 = 10 | 07 + 3 = 10 | 05 + 9 = 14 |
The code for GARAGE is 101021101014.
Similarly,
The code for MEDIA is as follows:
| Letter | M | E | D | I | A |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Code | 13 + 3 = 16 | 05 + 9 = 14 | 04 + 3 = 07 | 09 + 9 = 18 | 01 + 9 = 10 |
The code for MEDIA is 1614071810.
Similarly, the code for DIAGRAM is as follows:
| Letter | D | I | A | G | R | A | M |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Code | 04 + 3 = 07 | 09 + 9 = 18 | 01 + 9 = 10 | 07 + 3 = 10 | 18 + 3 = 21 | 01 + 9 = 10 | 13 + 3 = 16 |
Hence, 'DIAGRAM' is coded as '07181010211016'.
B and H are the only siblings. H is the only son of P. R is the son-in-law of N. N is the paternal grandmother of G who is the daughter of D. D is the sister-in-law of B. Then how is R related to G?
Cousin
Uncle
Father
Either niece or nephew
Correct answer
Uncle
Why this answer is correct
According to given conditions,
1) B and H are the only siblings.
As H is the only son of P, therefore B is the daughter and sister of P and H respectively.
3) D is the sister-in-law of B.
4) N is the paternal grandmother of G who is the daughter of D.
5) R is the son-in-law of N.
Thus, according to the final family tree R is the uncle of G.
Hence, "Uncle" is the correct answer.
Select the letter-pair that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
DWX, FZB, HCF, JFJ, LIN, ?
NLR
IJK
PQR
ABC
Correct answer
NLR
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here is :-
According to the Alphabetic order the series follows here is :
Thus, the correct answer is 'NLR'.
What was the day of the week on 13th November 1997?
Saturday
Tuesday
Thursday
Sunday
Correct answer
Thursday
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here is:-
| No. of Odd days | Simple Year | Leap Year |
|---|---|---|
| 365/7 = 52 weeks + 1 odd day | 366/7 = 52 weeks + 2 odd day |
| Years | No. of odd days |
|---|---|
| 100 years | 5 |
| 200 years | 3 |
| 300 years | 1 |
| 400 years | 0 |
Note:- Multiple of 400 years i.e. 800, 1200, 1600, 2000 have 0 odd days.
Calculating leap year: For Finding the number of leap year (1 - 99) years, divide the number of years by 4 and the quotient will be the number of leap years.
Code of weekdays:
| No. of odd days | Day |
|---|---|
| 0 | Sunday |
| 1 | Monday |
| 2 | Tuesday |
| 3 | Wednesday |
| 4 | Thursday |
| 5 | Friday |
| 6 | Saturday |
Total odd days = 0 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 4 odd day.
4 is the code for Thursday
Thus, the correct answer is "Thursday".
Four number - pairs are given out of which three are alike in a certain way and one is different. Select the number - pair that is different from the rest.
(22, 89, 45)
(15, 61, 31)
(12, 49, 25)
(13, 52, 27)
Correct answer
(13, 52, 27)
Why this answer is correct
The logic follows here:
(First Number × 4) + 1 = Second Number
(First Number × 2) + 1 = Third Number
1) (22, 89, 45) →
(22 × 4) + 1 = 89
(22 × 2) + 1 = 45
2) (15, 61, 31) →
(15 × 4) + 1 = 61
(15 × 2) + 1 = 31
3) (12, 49, 25) →
(12 × 4) + 1 = 49
(12 × 2) + 1 = 25
4) (13, 52, 27) →
(13 × 4) + 1 = 53 ≠ 52
(13 × 2) + 1 = 27
Hence, "(13, 52, 27)" is the correct answer.
Alternate Method
The logic follows here:
(First Number × 2) + Third Number = Second Number
1) (22, 89, 45) →
(22 × 2) + 45
= 44 + 45
= 89
2) (15, 61, 31) →
(15 × 2) + 31
= 30 + 31
= 61
3) (12, 49, 25) →
(12 × 2) + 25
= 24 + 25
= 49
4) (13, 52, 27) →
(13 ×2) + 27
= 26 + 27
= 53 ≠ 52
Hence, "(13, 52, 27)" is the correct answer.
From the given options, which answer figure / figures can be formed by folding the figure given in the question?
(a) and (d)
(c) and (d)
(b) and (c)
(a) and (c)
Correct answer
(a) and (d)
Why this answer is correct
When we fold a given figure then we get,
By solving the options:
a)
→ It can be formed because there is no opposite phase adjacent to each other.
b)
→ It cannot be formed because opposite phase are adjacent to each other.
c)
→ It cannot be formed because opposite phase are adjacent to each other.
d)
→ It can be formed because there is no opposite phase adjacent to each other.
Hence, (a) and (d) is the correct answer.
