Question: How is 'No' coded in the code language ? Statements: I.'Ne Pa Sic Lo' means 'But No None And' and 'Pa Lo Le Ne' means 'If None And But'. II.'Le Se Ne Sic' means 'If No None Will' and 'Le Pi Se Be' means 'Not None If All'.
In the two statements given in I, the common words are 'But', 'None', 'And' and the
common code words are 'Ne', 'Pa', ,'Lo'. So, 'Ne', 'Pa' and 'Lo' are codes for 'But', 'None' and 'And'. Thus, in the first statement, 'Sic' is the code for 'No'.
Question: Who among P, Q, T, V and M is exactly in the middle when they are arranged in ascending order of their heights ? Statements: I.V is taller than Q but shorter than M. II.T is taller than Q and M but shorter than P.
From I, we have: M > V > Q.
From II, we have: T > Q, T > M, P > T.
Combining the above two, we have: P>T>M>V>Q i.e. Q
Clearly, M is in the middle.
Question: How many visitors saw the exhibition yesterday ? Statements: I.Each entry pass holder can take up to three persons with him/her. II.In all, 243 passes were sold yesterday.
From I and II, we find that maximum (243 x 3) i.e. 729 visitors saw the exhibition.
But the exact number cannot be determined.
Question: Which code word stands for 'good' in the coded sentence 'sin co bye' which means 'He is good' ? Statements: I.In the same code language, 'co mot det' means 'They are good'. II.In the same code language, 'sin mic bye' means 'He is honest'.
In the given statement and I, the common word is 'good' and the common code word is 'co'. So, 'co' is the code for 'good'.
In the given statement and II, the common words are 'He' and 'is' and the common code words are 'sin' and 'bye'. So 'sin' and 'bye' are the codes for 'He' and 'is'. Thus, in the given statement, 'co' is the code for 'good'.
Question: What is the numerical code for 'water' in a certain code ? Statements: I.The code for 'give me water' is '719'. II.The code for 'you can bring water for me' is written as '574186'.
In I and II, the common words are 'me' and 'water' and the common code numbers are '7' and '1'. So, the code for 'water' is either '7' or '1'.
Question: Gaurav ranks eighteenth from the top in a class. What is his rank from the last? Statements: I.There are 47 students in the class. II.Jatin who ranks 10th in the same class, ranks 38th from the last.
From I, we conclude that in a class of 47 students, Gaurav ranks 18th from the top and hence 30th from the last.
From II, we conclude that there are 9 students above and 37 students below Jatin in rank. Thus, there are (9 + 1 + 37) = 47 students in the class.
So, Gaurav who ranks 18th from the top, is 30th from the last.
Question: What is the rank of P from the bottom in a class of 30 students ? Statements: I.M is third from the top and there are five students between M and P. II.The rank of K is fourth from the bottom and there are 17 students between K and P.

From II, we conclude that P is 22nd from the bottom.
Question: In a row of five buildings - P, Q, R, S and T, which building is in the middle ? Statements: I.Buildings S and Q are at the two extreme ends of the row. II.Building ,T is to the right of building R.
From I, we have the order : S, -, -, -, Q. From II, we have the order : R, T. Combining the above two, we get two possible orders : S, R, T, P, Q or S, P, R, T, Q. Thus, either T or R is in the middle.
Question: How many speeches were delivered in the two days' programme ? Statements: I.18 speakers were invited to give at least one speech (maximum of two speech), out of which one-sixth of the speakers could not come. II.One-third of the speakers gave two speeches each.
From I, we find that number of speakers who attended programme =18-(1/6) of 18 = 15.
From II, we find that one-third of 15 i.e. 5 speakers gave 2 speeches each, while each of the remaining 10 speakers delivered only one speech.
So, total number of speeches delivered = (5 x 2 + 10 x 1) = 20.
Question: Among five friends, who is the tallest ? Statements: I.D is taller than A and C. II.B is shorter than E but taller than D.
From I, we have: D > A, D > C.
From II, we have: E > B > D.
Combining the above two, we get :E > B > D > A > C or E > B > D >C > A.
Thus, E is the tallest.
Question: What time did the train leave today ? Statements: I.The train normally leaves on time. II.The scheduled departure is at 14 : 30.

Question: How many sons does D have ? Statements: A's father has three children. II.B is A's brother and son of D.
From both I and II together, we can conclude that A and B are the children of D, but the sex of A and the third child of D is not known. So, both I and II together are also not sufficient to answer the question.
Question: How is M related to N? Statements: I.P, who has only two kids, M and N, is the mother-in-law of Q, who is sister-in-law of N. II.R, the sister-in-law of M, is the daughter-in-law of S, who has only two kids, M and N.
From I, we conclude that P is the mother of M and N, while Q is the daughter-in-law of P and sister-in-law of N. Thus, Q is M's wife and hence, M is N's brother.
From II, we conclude that M and N are the children of S. Also, R is the daughter-in-law of S and sister-in-law of M. So, R is N's wife and thus, N is M's brother. Hence, M is either brother or sister of N.
Question: What is the colour of the fresh grass ? Statements: I.Blue is called green, red is called orange, orange is called yellow. II.Yellow is called white, white is called black, green is called brown and brown is called purple.

Thus, Hitesh visited zoo two days before Tuesday i.e. on Sunday.

Statements: I.He visited Accounts department in the second week of September after having visited Purchase department on the earlier occasion. II.He had visited Purchase department immediately after visiting Stores department but before visiting Accounts department.
From I, we can conclude that the Chairman visited Purchase department on Monday of the first week of September.
The time of visit of no department is mentioned in II, which is, therefore, insufficient.

In given statement and I, the common words are 'tie' and 'clip' and the common codes are '2' and '9'. So, '2' and '9' are the codes for 'tie' and 'clip'. Thus, in the given statement, '7' means 'button'. In given statement and II, the common code word '7' represents the common word 'button'.
Question: What is Sumit's position from the right end in a row of children? Statements: I.There are 10 children between Sumit and Rajan. II.Rajan is twentieth from the left end of the row of children.

In 'You eat many mangoes' and 'Who others eat bananas', the common word is 'eat' and the common code word is 'Le'. So, 'Le' means 'eat'.
In 'You eat many mangoes' and 'They eat bananas and mangoes', the common code word 'Le' stands for 'eat'. So, the other common code word 'Na' stands for the other common word i.e. 'mangoes'.
Question: In a row of five children A, B, C, D and E, who is standing in the middle ? Statements: I.D is to the immediate right of E and B is to the immediate left of E. II.B is at the extreme left of the, row.
From I, we have the order: B, E, D.

From I, we have: number of employees who opted for VRS = 18% of 950 + 6% of 1100 = 171 + 66 = 237.
From II, we cannot get the required answer until and unless the number of employees in age-group 51 to 56 and other age-groups is known.
Question: Among M, N, D, P and K, who earns more than only the least earner among them ? Statements: I.N earns more than M and P but less than only D. II.M earns more than P who earns less than K.
From I, we have: N > M, N > P, D > N. Thus, we have: D > N > M > P or D>N> P>M.
But, from II, M earns more than P i.e. D > N > M > P. Also, since P earns less than K and N earns less than only D, so we have: D>N>K>M>P or D>N>M> K > P.
Hence, either K or M earns more than only the least earner i.e. P.
Question: What is Sachin's rank from the top in a class of 25 students ? Statements: I.Sachin ranks three ranks above Amit who ranks 18th from the bottom. II.Sachin's rank from the top is two ranks below Deepti who ranks 23rd from the bottom.

Sachin is three ranks above Amit and so, Sachin ranks 5th from the top.
