Question 301

LIC ADO 2019• Reasoning Ability and Numerical Ability

Study the information carefully and answer the questions given below.

Six persons M, N, O, P, Q, and R were playing a game where they have to arrange six blocks of different shapes namely Circular, Hexagon, Rectangle, Square, Triangle, and Octagon one above the other in the form of a stack. Each person put up a different shape which was positioned from 1-6 where 1 is the bottom-most position.

Only one person kept a block between M and the person who kept the rectangle block. M who placed hexagon was just below Q. The rectangle block was kept at 3rd position. The circular block was kept by R just below M. The triangle was kept at an even position just above P, but not on the top. The difference in the position of the square block and the position at which N kept the block is 4.

Which block was kept by R?

  1. AOption (a)

    Rectangle

  2. BOption (b)

    Square

  3. COption (c)

    Circular

  4. DOption (d)

Question 306

LIC ADO 2019• Reasoning Ability and Numerical Ability

Direction: In the question below are given three statements followed by three conclusions I, II and III. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts, Read all the given conclusions and then decide which of the following conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.

Statements:

Some Colors are Bright.

All Bright are Colorful.

Some Colorful are not Sketches.

Conclusions:

I. Some Colorful are not Colors.

II. All Sketches being Bright is a possibility.

III. Some Colors being Sketches is a possibility

  1. AOption (a)

    Only Conclusion I follows

  2. BOption (b)

    Only Conclusion II follows

  3. COption (c)

    Both Conclusion I and III follows

  4. DOption (d)

    Both Conclusion II and III follows

  5. EOption (e)

    None follows

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

Both Conclusion II and III follows

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram is:

Conclusions:

I. Some Colorful are not Colors → False (Some Colors are Bright and All Bright are Colorful, so the Colorful which is Bright are also Color, so this is definitely false).

II. All Sketches being Bright is a possibility → True (Some Colorful are not Sketches, but there is no restriction of Sketches being part of Bright or Colorful).

III. Some Colors being Sketches is a possibility → True (As, no direct relationship between the two is given).

Hence, Both Conclusion II and III follows.

Question 307

LIC ADO 2019• Reasoning Ability and Numerical Ability

Direction: In the question below are given three statements followed by three conclusions I, II and III. You have to take the given statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts, Read all the given conclusions and then decide which of the following conclusions logically follows from the given statements disregarding commonly known facts.

Statements:

Only a few Idly are Vada.

Some Vada are not Tasty.

All Tasty are Delicious.

Conclusions:

I. Some Idly are not Vada.

II. Some Tasty can be Vada.

III. All Tasty being Idly is a possibility.

  1. AOption (a)

    Only Conclusion I follows

  2. BOption (b)

    Only Conclusion II follows

  3. COption (c)

    Either Conclusion I or III  follows

  4. DOption (d)

    Both Conclusion I and III follows

  5. EOption (e)

    All Conclusion follows

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

All Conclusion follows

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram is:

Conclusions:

I. Some Idly are not Vada → True (As, Only a few Idly are Vada is given which means Some Idly are Vada and Some Idly are not Vada, so this is a definite conclusion).

II. Some Tasty can be Vada → True (The possibility is true, as we know that Some Vada cannot be part of Tasty, but don't know about any negative relationship of Tasty with Vada).

III. All Tasty being Idly is a possibility → True (The possibility is true, as no direct relationship between the two is given).

Hence, All Conclusion follows.

Question 308

    Both Conclusion I and III follows

  5. EOption (e)

    Both Conclusion I and II follows

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Only Conclusion II follows

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram is:

Conclusions:

I. Some Girls are Pretty → False (This is possible but not definite).

II. Some Beautiful are not Bad → True (Some Beautiful are Pretty and No Pretty is Bad, so the part of Beautiful which is Pretty will never be Bad, so this is definitely true conclusion).

III. All Bad being Pretty is a possibility → False (The possibility is false, as Pretty and Bad both have relationship of No with each other).

Hence, Only Conclusion II follows.
