Question 271

RBI Assistant 2022• Reasoning Ability

Directions

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 from 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:

Some Fire is air

Only a few air is water

Conclusions:

I. Some water can be Fire

II. Some Fire is water

  1. AOption (a)

    Only I follow

  2. BOption (b)

    Only II follow

  3. COption (c)

    Either I or II follows

  4. DOption (d)

    Neither I nor II follows

  5. EOption (e)

    Both I and II follows

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

Only I follow

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows

Conclusions:

I. Some water can be Fire → True (as there is no relation between water and Fire, so it is possible. Hence, Some water can be Fire is true).

II. Some Fire is water → False (as there is no relation between Fire and water so it is possible nut it's not definite. Hence, Some Fire is water is false).

Hence, Only I follow is the correct answer.

  4. DOption (d)

    Either conclusion I or II follows

  5. EOption (e)

    Neither conclusion I nor II follows

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

Neither conclusion I nor II follows

Why this answer is correct

The least possible diagram for the given statements is as follows;

Conclusions:

I. Some Mobiles are Bags → False (As No Mobile is Bag, no part of Mobile will be Bag. So, it is false)

II. All Mobiles are Bags → False (As No Mobile is Bag, no part of Mobile will be Bag. So, it is false)

Hence, Neither conclusion I nor II follows.

Vowels which are immediately followed by a symbol but not immediately preceded by a number:

required order is: Not number → Vowel → Symbol

A C B @ K I 9 D L 4 © 5 2 T $ M 4 J # U 3 1 A δ K 5 V W 6 % F Q 7 H P

Hence, there is no vowel which are immediately followed by a symbol but not immediately preceded by a number.

Hence, the correct answer is none.

Question 277

15th from the left → $

15th from right → 3

Terms between $and 3 are M 4 J # U

Therefore, J is exactly in middle of $and 3.

Hence, J is exactly in middle between the fifteenth from the left end and the fifteenth from the right end in the above arrangement.

Question 278

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

P

Why this answer is correct

Given series:

Left Side A C B @ K I 9 D L 4 © 5 2 T $ M 4 J # U 3 1 A δ K 5 V W 6 % F Q 7 H P Right Side

As, Right – Right = Right

6th from the Right – 5th from the Right = 1st from the Right

Clearly, 1st from the Right is P.

Hence, P is the fifth to the right of the sixth element from the right end of the above arrangement$.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

Two

Why this answer is correct

Given words: NGX      FHZ      TJU      DOU      WCM

  1. Replacing first and last letter to immediate preceding letter:

MGW   EHY   SJT   COT   VCL

  1. Clearly, there are two words EHY and COT which have only one vowel.

Note: In English alphabetical series there are 5 vowels i.e. A, E, I, O, U else all are consonants.

Hence, two words have only one vowel after rearrangement.
