Directions: Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions:
Seven persons S, P, L, Q, R, M and I live on different floors in the same building having seven floors numbered one to seven (The lowermost floor is numbered one, the floor above it is numbered two and so on and the topmost floor is numbered as seven)
Three persons live between I and M. M lives on the floor immediately above S who does not live on an odd-numbered floor. M does not live on the fifth floor. P neither lives on an odd-numbered floor nor on the topmost floor. I does not live on the first floor. Two persons live between R and S. Q lives neither on the first floor nor on the fourth floor.
Who lives on the floor just above M?
L
P
Q
R
cannot be determined
Correct answer
P
Why this answer is correct
Given persons: S, P, L, Q, R, M, and I
1) M lives on the floor immediately above S who does not live on an odd-numbered floor.
(Here, there are two possible cases: Case 1: S lives on the 2nd floor, and Case 2: S lives on the 6th floor)
| Floor Numbers | Persons | |

5) Two persons live between R and S.
(In case 2, there is no place for R, so we can eliminate case 2)
6) Q lives neither on the first floor nor on the fourth floor.
7) P neither lives on an odd-numbered floor nor on the topmost floor.

Direction: In the following question assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the conclusion(s) among given conclusions is/are definitely true and then give your answers accordingly.
Statement: E < F ≤ G > H ≥ K
Conclusions:
I. F > H
II. G < E
Only conclusion I is true
Only conclusion II is true
Either conclusion I or II is true
Both conclusions I and II are true
Neither conclusion I nor II is true
Correct answer
Neither conclusion I nor II is true
Why this answer is correct
Given statement: E < F ≤ G > H ≥ K
Conclusions:
I. F > H → False (as E < F ≤ G > H ≥ K → F ≤ G > H → no clear relation between F and H can be determined as there are opposite signs between F and H. So, It is false)
II. G < E → False (as E < F ≤ G > H ≥ K → E < F ≤ G → E < G. So, it is false)
Hence, Neither conclusion I nor II is true.
Directions
In the following question assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the conclusion among given conclusion is/are definitely true and then give your answers accordingly
Statement: A = B < F ≥ C > G > H
Conclusions:
I. A > G
II. F > H
Only I follow
Only II follow
Both I and II follow
Either I or II follows
Neither I nor II follows
Correct answer
Only II follow
Why this answer is correct
Given statement: A = B < F ≥ C > G > H
Conclusions:
I. A > G → False (Here A = B < F ≥ C > G there is no clear relation between A and G because of the opposite sign between A and G).
II. F > H → True (Here F ≥ C > G > H → F > H, so it is true).
Hence, Only II follow.
Directions
In the following question assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the conclusion among given conclusions is /are definitely true and then give your answers accordingly.
Statement: I ≤ J ≥ K > L ≥ M = N < O
Conclusions:
I. O < J
II. K ≥ N
Only conclusion I is true
Only conclusion II is true
Either conclusion I or II is true
Both conclusion I and II are true
Neither conclusion I nor II is true
Correct answer
Neither conclusion I nor II is true
Why this answer is correct
Given statement: I ≤ J ≥ K > L ≥ M = N < O
Conclusions:
I. O < J → False (as J ≥ K > L ≥ M = N < O → no clear relation between O and J can be determined)
II. K ≥ N → False (as K > L ≥ M = N → K > N)
Hence, neither conclusion I nor conclusion II is true.
Directions
In the following question assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the conclusion among given conclusions is/are definitely true and then give your answers accordingly.
Statements:
A < B = C > E ≥ D ≥ F
Conclusions:
I. E > F
II. E = F
Either Conclusion I or II is true.
Both Conclusions I and II are true.
Neither Conclusion I nor II is true.
Only Conclusion I is true.
Only Conclusion II is true.
Correct answer
Either Conclusion I or II is true.
Why this answer is correct
Given statements:
A < B = C > E ≥ D ≥ F
Conclusions:
I. E > F → False (as E ≥ D ≥ F → E ≥ F)
II. E = F → False (as E ≥ D ≥ F → E ≥ F)
Note: Conclusion I and II are complementary pairs.
Hence, either conclusion I or II is true.
