Logical Reasoning Test - 8

Given series:

Left Side R @ 2 9 T V A Y 5 © # J 1 P 8 Q $ E 3 * H % 6 W 4 I 8 U Z Right Side

1) Positions of the last eighteen elements in the above arrangement are reversed:

R @ 2 9 T V A Y 5 © # Z U 8 I 4 W 6 % H * 3 E $ Q 8 P 1 J

2) The seventeenth element from the left end:

R @ 2 9 T V A Y 5 © # Z U 8 I 4 W 6 % H * 3 E $ Q 8 P 1 J

So, the seventeenth element from left in this arrangement can be easily seen as W.

Persons: M, N, O, P, Q and R.

1) P is taller than only R.

Height: _ > _ > _ > _ > P > R

2) At least three persons are heavier than M.

3) R is heavier than Q but not than M.

Weight: _ > _ > _ > M > R > Q

4) Number of persons taller than M is equal to number of persons shorter than O.

Height: _ > _ > M/O > O/M > P > R

5) O is heavier than P but not the heaviest. So, N must be the heaviest.

Weight: N > O > P > M > R > Q

6) No person has same position in both height and weight. So, M must be taller than O. Also, Q must be taller than N.

Height: Q > N > M > O > P > R

Weight: N > O > P > M > R > Q

So, Q is the tallest.

Persons: M, N, O, P, Q and R.

1) P is taller than only R.

Height: _ > _ > _ > _ > P > R

2) At least three persons are heavier than M.

3) R is heavier than Q but not than M.

Weight: _ > _ > _ > M > R > Q

4) Number of persons taller than M is equal to number of persons shorter than O.

Height: _ > _ > M/O > O/M > P > R

5) O is heavier than P but not the heaviest. So, N must be the heaviest.

Weight: N > O > P > M > R > Q

6) No person has same position in both height and weight. So, M must be taller than O. Also, Q must be taller than N.

Height: Q > N > M > O > P > R

Weight: N > O > P > M > R > Q

So, two persons are heavier than P.

Clearly, the decision to revise its fee structure for artists is taken by Doordarshan as a remedy to the challenging problem that had arisen before it. It cannot wait till other media take action. So, only course I follows.

Clearly, the statement stresses on teachers' lack of awareness and knowledge in population education and as such the best remedy would be to guide them in this field through orientation programmes. So, only course II follows.

6 subjects – Physics, Chemistry, Biology, mathematics, English, Hindi.

1) The box containing Physics book is kept at the top.

2) There are three boxes between the box of Physics books and box of Hindi books which is immediately above the box of Biology books.

3) Box of Mathematics books is kept immediately above the box of English books and immediately below box of Chemistry books.

So, box 2 contains Chemistry books.

Given,

In a row of 40 girls, when Komal moves four places to the left from her position, her position becomes 10th from the left end of the row.

Left Komal is 10th from the left end of the row by shifting 4.

Thus Komal's original position was 14th from the left end. Swati is 3rd to the right of Komal's original place.

Clearly, Swati is \(14+3=17\)th from the left end.

Number of girls \(=(40-17)=23\) to the right of Swati

Thus, Swati is 24th from the right end of the row.

The statement clearly indicates that it is essential to satisfy the two mentioned criteria to get admission. Therefore, option 1 is correct. Anyone else will not, since it is clearly mentioned that these are two of the most significant criteria. Thus, options 1, 3 and 4 follow. Since the statement says that both are important criteria, the admission will depend on both, hence option 2 is also correct.

The word ‘some’ at the beginning of the statement suggests that not all but some inventions were accidental; so it can be inferred that not all mistakes are bad or inopportune. Hence option A is correct. The statement tells that some inventions from accidents have led to the benefit of the world, which means that accidents may lead to fruitful conclusions. The modal auxiliary ‘may’ expresses the probabilistic nature of the statement; hence option B is also correct. Option 3 suggests a certain fact that the things that changed the world came out from someone’s mistake, but the statement only indicates that a few of those inventions were results of someone's mistakes. Hence option C is incorrect.

The simplified form of the given statements suggests that Ryan and Jack are the independent characters while, Mike and Harvey are dependent ones. Thus options B and D are eliminated. Now, the condition in option A is correct but incomplete, because Mike will go to the party only if Ryan is coming and he is not bringing Harvey with him. Therefore, option A is eliminated. Harvey hasn’t put any condition; therefore, option E is eliminated. Based on Mike’s condition, either he will go to the party with Jack, or let Ryan bring Harvey. Therefore, option C is correct.

Ryan and Jack were the suspects and they were taken to interrogation because they showed signs of distress when accused. Therefore, option E is correct and options A and D are incorrect. The second statement is a general statement and has not been related to Ryan and Jack in any way. So, option B and D are incorrect.
