Question 1
1 / -0

Directions For Questions

Direction: The following consists of a question and three statements numbered I, II, and III given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question.

...view full instructions

What is the direction of point B with respect to point P?

Statement I: The distance between points B and M is the same distance between points Q and J. Point H is 3m to the west of point J. Point Q is 4m to the south of point H.

Statement II: Point N is 5m to the west of point Q. Point S is 6m to the north of point N. Point M is 5m to the north of point H. If a person is facing south at point M and he moves 120^o in clockwise direction and then turns 30^o towards his left, he will face B.

Statement III: Point B is 5m to the west of point M. Point Q is 9m to the south of point M. Point N is 5m to the west of point Q. Q is 2m away from P.

A
Statement I and Statement II together are sufficient.

B
Statement II and Statement III together are sufficient.

C
Statement I and either statement II or statement III together are sufficient.

D
All the statement I, statement II and statement III together are sufficient.

E
None is sufficient.

Solution

From statements I and II:

Following the image, we can say that Point B is in north direction with respect to P.

From statements II and III:

As P is 6m to the north of N which is 5 m to the east of Q. P cannot be 2m away from Q.

From statements I and III:

Following the image, we can say that Point B is in north-west direction with respect to P.

So, the correct answer would be ‘Statement I and either statement II or statement III together’ are sufficient to answer the question.

A savings account is a deposit account held at a retail bank that pays interest but cannot be used directly as money in the narrow sense of a medium of exchange. These accounts let customers set aside a portion of their liquid assets while earning a monetary return.

Which of the following statements is/are not a suitable reason for opening a savings account?

A
Savings accounts are easy to open and you can withdraw and deposit money anytime.

B
Most savings accounts have minimum balance requirements or monthly maintenance fees.

C
You’re not locked in for any period of time, which means you can switch savings accounts as often as you like.

D
Both (A) and (C)

E
None of these

Solution

The passage above talks about saving accounts in banks.

We need to find such a statement which is not a suitable reason for opening a savings account.

That means we need to search for certain disadvantages of savings account from the given statement.

The first statement mentions one of the advantages of opening a savings account, therefore it is a suitable reason and not an apt answer for the above question.

The second statement comes up with a disadvantage as it mentions the minimum balance criteria in such accounts. So, it can be a possible reason for not opening a savings account.

The third statement again brings forward an advantage of opening a savings account in terms of flexibility. So, it does not fit into the criteria of non-suitable reasons for opening a savings account.

A political campaign is an organized effort which seeks to influence the decision making progress within a specific group. In democracies, political campaigns often refer to electoral campaigns, by which representatives are chosen or referendums are decided.

Which of the following, if true, most weakens the need for political campaigns?

A
Campaigns often dispatch volunteers into local communities to meet with voters and persuade people to support the candidate.

B
A lot of money is spent on conducting elections campaigns.

C
Political campaigns provide a lot of chaos and traffic.

D
Both (B) and (C)

E
None of these

Solution

The above passage explains to us about the concept of political campaigns.

We need to search for such statements which weaken the need for political campaigns.

All of us are aware of the uses of political campaigns, hence it is easy to recognize that the first option is an advantage of conducting political campaigns. Therefore, it is not correct.

The second and third option brings forward two major disadvantages of conducting political campaigns.

These points could help us weaken the need for political campaigns. Since so much of money is invested in this process and so much chaos is created in return. It supports the fact of not conducting such political campaigns.

Thus, both options (B) and (C) are correct.

The earth’s resources are getting depleted at a very fast rate. Consequently, the world's eco-footprint is estimated to be one and a half times the ability of the earth to sustainably provide each individual with enough resources that meet their consumption levels.

Which of the following statements is/are a suitable reason for the depleting earth resources?

A
An increase in population expands the need for resources and conditions necessary to sustain it.

B
Humans are causing a lot of stress to land resources due to the over-reliance on food production for daily nutritional requirements.

C
The present-day world is incessantly becoming industrialized as more and more countries make major technological breakthroughs.

D
Both (A) and (B)

E
All of these

Solution

The statement above talks about the critical situation where the earth’s natural resources are getting depleted at a very fast rate. We need to find the options which are suitable reasons for such critical conditions on earth.

The first option is one of the biggest reasons for the higher depleting rate of natural resources. Overpopulation plays a drastic role in increasing the rate of depletion of natural resources.

The second option talks about the stress which we put upon the soil and land due to over-irrigation and pesticides, etc. This is also a significant reason for the falling rate of resources.

The third option is about industrialization which is major contributor of pollution. This indirectly depletes the resources as the existing ones can’t be made of any use due to pollution.

Thus, all the above options are the suitable reasons for depleting natural resources.

Minimal efforts are shown by the employers towards improvement of working conditions. Protests have become a regular part of working lifestyle and no attention is given to the inconveniences and complaints.

Which of the following is in accordance with the given text?

A
The employers are apathetic towards the causes of the employees.

B
Employees are being neglected and left in distress.

C
Employers care only about profits not about their employees.

D
Employees are being inefficient at expressing their grievances.

E
Both (A) and (B)

Solution

The statements suggest that employers don’t give attention to their employees’ grievances, so option (A) is correct. Since protests are regular and still working condition isn’t improved, it means option (B) is correct. Based on the same lines, it can be said that employees are protesting i.e., expressing grievances, but are neglected, so option (D) is incorrect. Nothing can be said about profits from the given text, so option (C) is also incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Directions For Questions

Direction: In the following question assuming the given statements to be true, find which of the conclusions among given conclusions is/are definitely true and then give your answers accordingly.

...view full instructions

Statements:

C ≤ O ≤ U = E; S ≥ T > C

Conclusions:

I. O ≤ T

II. T ˃ S

A
Neither conclusion I nor II is true

B
Both conclusions I and II are true

C
Only conclusion I is true

D
Only conclusion II is true

E
Either conclusion I or II is true

Solution

Given statements: C ≤ O ≤ U = E; S ≥ T > C

On combining the given statements: S ≥ T > C ≤ O ≤ U = E

Conclusions:

I. O ≤ T → False (as T > C ≤ O) → thus the relation between O and T cannot be determined.

II. T ˃ S → False (as S ≥ T).

So, neither conclusion I nor II is true.

A
If the data in statement I and II together is sufficient.

B
If the data in statement II and III together is sufficient.

C
If the data in all the statements together is sufficient.

D
If the data in all the statements together is not sufficient.

E
If the data in any two of the three statements is suficient.

Solution

From statement I and II together:

record inning win - fe gu pu .................... (1)

party like win - ho sa fe ..........................(2)

never steal money - ca mo pi ................(3)

gamble money winnner - be pi ta ..........(4)

With this, we cannot find the code for 'never and like'.

Thus, data in statement I and II together is not sufficient.

From statement II and III together:

never steal money - ca mo pi ................(1)

gamble money winnner - be pi ta ..........(2)

never forget inning - mo gu je ................(3)

steal party tonight - sa de ca .................(4)

With this we cannot find the code for 'win and like'.

Thus, data in statement II and III together is not sufficient.

From all statements I, II and III:

Following schedule can be drawn with the given hints.

record inning win - fe gu pu .................... (1)

party like win - ho sa fe ..........................(2)

never steal money - ca mo pi ................(3)

gamble money winnner - be pi ta ..........(4)

never forget inning - mo gu je ................(5)

steal party tonight - sa de ca .................(6)

From (1) and (2), we get

win - fe ...... (7)

From (2) and (6), we get

party - as .......(8)

From (2),(7) and (8), we get

like - ho.....(9)

From (3) and (5), we get

never - mo..... (10)

Thus, data in all statements I, II and III are necessary to answer the question.

Seven subjects viz. English, Hindi, Maths, Science, Art, GK and Computer were taught in a tution on seven days of a week starting from Monday such that only one subject is taught on one day. How many subjects are taught between Hindi and Art?

Statement I: Only two subjects were taught before Computer, which is taught just before Art. English was neither the first nor the last subject to be taught. Science was taught on Saturday.

Statement II: Hindi was not the last subject to be taught. Art was taught before GK. English was not the first subject to be taught.

Statement III: Art and GK were taught at a gap of one day. Science was taught immediately before Maths. Computer was taught on Wednesday.

If the data in statement I and II together is sufficient.

If the data in statement II and III together is sufficient.

If the data in all the statements together is necessary.

If the data in all the statements together is not sufficient.

If the data in any two of the three statements is sufficient.

Solution

From statement I and II together:

Following schedule can be drawn with the given hints.

Day	Subject
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday	Computer
Thursday	Art
Friday	GK
Saturday	Science
Sunday	GK

With the given data we cannot find the day on which Hindi is taught, thus we cannot answer the given question.

Thus, data in statement I and II together is not sufficient.

From statement II and III together:

Following schedule can be drawn with the given hints.

Day	Subject
Monday	~~English~~
Tuesday
Wednesday	Computer
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday	~~Hindi~~

With the given data we cannot find the day on which Hindi and Art is taught, thus we cannot answer the given question.

Thus, data in statement II and III together is not sufficient.

From all statements I, II and III:

Following a schedule can be drawn with the given hints.

Day	Subject
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday	Computer
Thursday	Art
Friday	GK
Saturday	Science
Sunday	GK

As the information that Art and GK were taught at a gap of one day and Art was taught before GK and immediately after Computer, also Science was taught on Saturday overlap with each other, thus no definite answer can be inferred.

Thus, data in all statements I, II, and III are not sufficient to answer the question.

Question 9
1 / -0

Statements:

U > V; W ≥ X; U < X; V = Y

Conclusions:

I. U ≤ Y

II. W ≥ U

III. V > X

IV. U > Y

A
Only II is True

B
Only I is True

C
Only I and III are True

D
Only II and IV are True

E
Only IV is True

Solution

Given statements: U > V; W ≥ X; U < X; V = Y

On combining: W ≥ X > U > V = Y

Conclusions:

I. U ≤ Y → False (as U > V = Y → U > Y)

II. W ≥ U → False (as W ≥ X > U → W > U)

III. V > X → False (as X > U > V → X > V)

IV. U > Y → True (as U > V = Y → U > Y)

Therefore, only conclusion IV is True.
Question 10

II: Some nuts are almonds.

A
Only conclusion I follows

B
Only conclusion II follows

C
Either conclusion I or II follows

D
Neither conclusion I nor II follows

E
Both conclusions I and II follow

Solution

The possible Venn diagram is:

I. Some pista can be cashew → It is a possibility case,

So, true. Refer the diagram below:

II. Some nuts are almonds → As there is no direct relation between the two thus this can’t be a definite case, So false.

So, only conclusion I follows.
