Question 311

LIC ADO 2019• Reasoning Ability and Numerical Ability

Direction: Study the information given below carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Vanshika starts walking from point M in east direction, after walking 6m she turns right from point N and walks for 4m till point O. She then turns left and walks for 5m and then turns right from point P and walks for 2m till point R. She then turns right and walks for 15m and then turns left from point Q and walks for 3m till point S. She then turns left and walks for 4m till point T and stops.

Four among the five are the same in a certain way and thus form a group. Which among the following does not belong to the group?

  1. AOption (a)

    Q - N 

  2. BOption (b)

    T - P 

  3. COption (c)

    S - O 

  4. DOption (d)

    Q - P 

  5. EOption (e)

    R - M

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

R - M

Why this answer is correct

According to the given information, we get the following figure,

Shortest distance between point M and point T = NO + PR + QS = 4m + 2m + 3m = 9m

First point is in south - west of second point except in R - M.

Hence, R - M does not belong to the group.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

9m

Why this answer is correct

According to the given information, we get the following figure,

Shortest distance between point M and point T = NO + PR + QS = 4m + 2m + 3m = 9m

Hence, ‘9m’ is the correct answer.

Question 318

LIC ADO 2019• Reasoning Ability and Numerical Ability

Direction: Study the following information to answer the given questions:

Six persons A, B, C, D, E and F have different weights. D is heavier than A and F. C is lighter than only E. The weight of B and D are 75 kg and 65 kg respectively.

Who among the following is the lightest?

  1. AOption (a)

    F

  2. BOption (b)

    A

  3. COption (c)

  5. EOption (e)

    Cannot be determined

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

Cannot be determined

Why this answer is correct

Persons: A, B, C, D, E and F.

  1. C is lighter than only E. So, E is the heaviest.

  2. D is heavier than A and F.

  3. The weight of B and D are 75 kg and 65 kg respectively. So, B is heavier than D.

PersonsE(Heaviest)CBDA/FF/A(Lightest)
Weights(kg)7565

Either A or F is the lightest.

Hence, ‘Cannot be determined’ is the correct answer.

Question 319

LIC ADO 2019• Reasoning Ability and Numerical Ability

Direction: Study the following information to answer the given questions:

Six persons A, B, C, D, E and F have different weights. D is heavier than A and F. C is lighter than only E. The weight of B and D are 75 kg and 65 kg respectively.

If the sum of weights of B and A is 135 kg and sum of weights of D and F is 116 kg then who is the 2nd lightest?

  1. AOption (a)

    A

  2. BOption (b)

    C

  3. COption (c)

    E

  4. DOption (d)

    F

  5. EOption (e)

    B

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

A

Why this answer is correct

Persons: A, B, C, D, E and F.

  1. C is lighter than only E. So, E is the heaviest.

  2. D is heavier than A and F.

  3. The weight of B and D are 75 kg and 65 kg respectively. So, B is heavier than D.

PersonsE(Heaviest)CBDA/FF/A(Lightest)
Weights(kg)7565

As, A + B = 135, so, A = 135 – 75 = 60

And D + F = 116, so, F = 116 – 65 = 51

Hence, A is the 2nd lightest.

    One

  5. EOption (e)

    More than four

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.
