View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

Either conclusion I or II follow

Why this answer is correct

Concept:

  1. We have to check the conclusions are 100% match with the statement. If the conclusion is 100% match with the given statement then the conclusion is true. If there is a 1% chance of not following the statement then the conclusion is considered to be false.

  2. The possibility case can be considered to be "false" in "definite case".

  3. In Possibility case, either "can" or "possible" word must be present.

According to the given statement,

Statement:

I. Some bells are golden

II. Some bells are red.

The possible Venn diagram is as follows:

Conclusion:

I. Some red are golden. (False, it can be true but not definite.)

II. No golden is red. (False, it can be true but not definite.)

Both the Conclusions are complimentary terms.

Hence, ​Either conclusion I or II follow

Note: 

Conditions of Either-or case:

  1. The elements should be the same in both the statements.
  2. Individually both the conclusions should be false.
  3. One conclusion should be positive and one conclusion should be negative (Complementary pair)

The two complementary pairs are:

  1. All + Some not

  2. No + Some

2

Why this answer is correct

According to given information;

Total number of students = 45

Kamal position from left = 15

Preet position from right = 28

Number of student between Kamal and Preet = Total student - (Kamal position + Preet position)

= 45 - (15 + 28)

= 45 - 43

= 2

Hence, there are two students between Kamal and Preet.

  4. DOption (d)

    Thursday

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Tuesday

Why this answer is correct

Given: 6 May 2005 was Friday.

Now,

2005 to 2018 = 13 Years (10 Ordinary Years and 3 Leap Years).

And, In 13 Years = 3 Leap years and 10 Ordinary Years.

So, 3 Leap Years have 6 odd days,

And, 10 Ordinary Years have 10 odd days.

Total odd days = 6 + 10 = 16.

16 odd days → 16/7 = 2 weeks and 2 odd days.

then, 6 May 2018 will be Friday + 2 = Sunday.

Now, the number of days between 6 May 2018 to 25 September 2018

= 25(May) + 30(June) + 31(July) + 31(August) + 25(September) = 142 days.

= 142 days → 142/7 = 20 weeks and 2 odd days.

So, 25 September 2018 will be Sunday + 2 = Tuesday.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Question 49

    Thursday

  3. COption (c)

    Wednesday

  4. DOption (d)

    Tuesday

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

Tuesday

Why this answer is correct

The pattern followed here is:

Every ordinary year contains = 1 Odd day

Every leap year contains = 2 Odd days

20th November 2012 is Tuesday.

2018 ⇒ Ordinary year ⇒ 1 Odd day

But, 2016 ⇒ Leap year ⇒ 2 odd days.

Therefore, the total years gap = 6 (2012 - 2018)

Total Days (odd) = 7 (1 extra odd day of 2016)

⇒ Day on 20th November 2018 = (Tuesday + 7 days)

⇒ Tuesday

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (4)".
