The statements below are followed by two conclusions labelled I and II. Assuming that the information in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with generally established facts, decide which conclusion(s) logically and definitely follow(s) from the information given in the statements.
Statements:
Some tents are cones.
All the cones are motels.
Conclusions:
All the motels are cones.
Some tents are motels.
Neither conclusion (I) nor (II) follows
Only conclusion (II) follows.
Either conclusion (I) or (II) follows
Only conclusion (I) follows.
Correct answer
Only conclusion (II) follows.
Why this answer is correct
The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows,
Conclusions:
All the motels are cones → All cones are motels which means some motels are cones, hence it is false.
Some tents are motels → True as shown in the above diagram.
Hence, only conclusion II follows.
If ‘A’ is replaced by ‘ + ’; if ‘B’ is replaced by ‘ - ’; ‘C’ is replaced by ‘ ÷ ’; and ‘D’ is replaced by ‘ × ’, then find the value of the following equation.
20A15C3D8B9

53
Correct answer
51
Why this answer is correct
Changing operators as given format.
| Alphabets | Meaning |
|---|---|
| A | + |
| B | – |
| C | ÷ |
| D | × |
Given expression : 20A15C3D8B9
After interchanging symbols: 20 + 15 ÷ 3 × 8 – 9
= 20 + 5 × 8 – 9
= 20 + 40 – 9
= 60 – 9 = 51
Hence, 51 is the correct answer.

In a shopping mall, five water bottles labelled as A, B, C, D and E were placed in a rack.
The bottle A has less price than the bottle B. The bottle C has less price than the bottle D. The bottle B has less price than the bottle C and bottle A has more price than the bottle E.
If a customer wants to buy a bottle of maximum price, then which bottle he/she has to buy?
D
B
C
A
Correct answer
D
Why this answer is correct
5 Bottles: A, B, C, D and E.
→ A < B
→ C < D
→ B < C,
→ E < A
On combining we get,
E < A < B < C < D
So, price of bottle D is higher than all other four bottles.
Hence, bottle D is the correct answer.
Find out the two signs to be interchanged for making equation correct:
25 + 5 × 7 – 12 ÷ 3 = 26
– and ÷
Correct answer
Why this answer is correct
Let’s check each option:
= 25 - 5 × 7 + 12 ÷ 3
= 25 - 5 × 7 + 4
= 25 - 35 + 4
= 29 - 35 = -6
= 25 × 5 + 7 – 12 ÷ 3
= 25 × 5 + 7 - 4
= 125 + 7 - 4
= 132 - 4 = 128
= 25 ÷ 5 × 7 – 12 + 3
= 5 × 7 - 12 + 3
= 35 - 12 + 3
= 38 - 12 = 26
= 25 + 5 × 7 ÷ 12 – 3
= 25 + 5 × 0.5833 - 3
= 25 + 2.9165 - 3
= 27.9165 - 3
= 24.9165
Hence, ‘ + and ÷ ’ is the correct answer.

Find the missing term in the given analogous pair.
1 : 4, 3 : 14 ∷ 5 : 32, 7 : _________
58
79
85
97
Correct answer
58
Why this answer is correct
1 → 1 × 2 + 2 = 4,
3 → 3 × 4 + 2 = 14,
Similarly,
5 → 5 × 6 + 2 = 32
7 → 7 × 8 + 2 = 58
Hence, 58 is the correct answer.

In an automobile showroom, seven two - wheelers of seven different companies, viz. H, M, T, V, Y, B and S are displayed in a row, facing east such that :
Which vehicle is second to the left of the M?
V
S
B
T
Correct answer
B
Why this answer is correct
7 Vehicles: H, M, T, V, Y, B and S.
We start from point 4. 3. The V is between the M and the B.
Hence, B is second to the left of M.
Find the missing number from the below options.
| 16 | 25 | 81 |
|---|---|---|
| 36 | 49 | 9 |
| 10 | 12 | ? |
15
12
21
36
Correct answer
12
Why this answer is correct
The pattern followed here is,
In column 1 → 42 = 16, 62 = 36 → 4 + 6 = 10
In column 2 → 52 = 25, 72 = 49 → 5 + 7 = 12
In column 3 → 92 = 81, 32 = 9 → 9 + 3 = 12
Hence, 12 is the correct answer.
Mistake PointsLogic:-
In column 1 → (36 - 16)/2 = 20/2 = 10
In column 2 → (49 - 25)/2 = 24/2 = 12
In column 3 → (9 - 81)/2 = (-72)/2 = -36**,** this is not equal to 36.
Hence, We can't apply this logic.
